to offer it primarily to the twenty
Eve million young Americans be-
tween fifteen and twenty-five years
of age.
To you young people what Christ
mas symbolizes is of the greatest
importance. You are on the thresh-
old of opportunity. By your own
leadership and by the ideals you in
still in your children, you will deter
mine what our country, and, indeed,
the world, will be half q century
from now.
Six million Of you are in high
school; more than one million in col
lege; twelve million are employed
six million are jobless. Whether you
are in the fortunate group still pur-
suing your education, or have found
your place in industry, commerce, or
n profession, or are unfortunate In
not yet having found your place,
Christmas still makes you the most
favored youth group in all the world.
Thank God this Christmas for the
freedom that is yours and that the
spirit of Christmas gives you-the
freedom to think as you please, to do
as you will; to get an education, to
plan a career; to marry and build a
family; to share in government, to
criticize public servants, to run for
any office; to seek your fortune in
high or low places; to have a home
that is your castle; to worship or not
as you desire; to rise or fall by your
own efforts; to speak unhesitatingly
what you think, without fear of re-
prisal; to have complete liberty of
conscience, to be the ruler of your
own destiny, the sovereign Of your
own personality.
These are some of the liberties in
our land, the oldest of the worlds
great democracies - paradoxically,
and significantly, located in the "new
world" We have taken our liberties
for granted, like the air we breathe,
the telephone we use, the radio to
which we listen. They seem auto
matte, as matter-of-fact, as if they
had always been ours. Yet these very
liberties have been acquired, and can
be taken away.
Because Christianity has empha-
sized the Importance Of the human
spirit, it is the basis of the modern
democratic idea of the rights of man,
out of which in turn has come the
best in modern science and social
advancement. Conversely, with the
departure Of religious faith go
democracy, science, freedom of
thought, and the sacredness of hu-
man personality. We have seen it
happen wherever totalitarianism
breaches the absolutism of the state
over mans mind and soul.

"The enlistment period is for three
years. The Government realizes,
however, that for good reasons -
such as legitimate offer of good
employment in civil life-some men
may wish to terminate their military
service before they have completed
their three-year period. To meet this
condition, authority may be granted
any man to be honorably discharged
by purchase at the end of one years
service under normal conditions.

Gwen with these and other ad-
vantages, pay in the Army varies
from $21 90 to $1575O month. Most

 ating under the wing of 35 organi- cations of business and professional women-is making it possible for women to kibitz on the way their work is being handled in great city.
 Whether she is a nurse, a doctor, an advertising woman, musician an artist, an interior decorator, an architect, a teacher, a retailer-or whatever-a visitor will get chance to meet the top people in her field and see how they work. Say woman is interested in communication-t ell phone, tele- graph, or radio. She will be shown such things as long distance operat- ing rooms, overseas switchboardS, or control room where transatlantic telephone calls are conditioned for ocean crossing. She will have ex- plained to her the way in which news pictures are sent over wires, the process by which telegrams are shot through pneumatic tubes un- der miles of city street.
 If she is in the fashion business she will be, taken through one of the outstanding fashion schools, where she can watch students at work creating designs for textiles, costumes, hats or window displays. And she can follow that up by visiting plant where the dyeing, weaving. knitting, and laboratory testing of materials will be explain ed by experts.

GIoriting Yourself
By AIicia Hart
MA service stalf Writer

Sure to feel pretty neglected and quite out of the running along about now is the woman who is in town and, except for an occasional weekend and brief holiday, ex- poets to stay in town, hot weather or no hot weather.
 For weeks she has read about what to wear at mountain resorts, how to make up on the beach, how | to conduct herself on 8 yacht, on a farm, at dude ranch. She knows that this is a year to suit yourself about sum- tanning, that short, casual cultures are best for vaca- tions, that denim and cotton house. coats are perfect tor breakfast on the terrace.
 What she really wants to know, however, is how in the world to look crisply fresh from nine to five in the office when the thermometer hovers around 90, ana somebody turns the one and only electric fan away from her desk. She'd like also to know how to get through mornings shopping without looking wilted. Or how to manage to look cool and radiate good nature across the dinner table after a day of marketing, dusting, cooking and trying to keep junior in his own sand pile.
 CHECK LIST
 OF COOLERS"
 Here, then, are a few summer grooming suggestions which the non-vacationist may find well worth considering:
 Use lighter creams, lighter per- fume, a lighter maKeup base. Let your vacationing, suntanned friends have dark ,owders and scarlet lip- sticks. Delicate, pastel shades of rouge and lipstick are best for hot days in town
 Clean your face many times day. Always carry cleansing pads and a tiny bottle If cologne in your purse.
 If your permatent wave is get ting slightly loose looking, have a new one preferably one which curls your shining tresses to within half an inch of the scalp. Wear youl hair of your neck, or course, and adapt coiffure which you can manage easily between visits to the hairdresser.
 | Have at least two-preferably three I-baths or showers day. Now and then, skip the towel and let the air dry your hair. However, stay out of drafts during this natural drying.
 Have in your wardrobe as many washables as you possibly can. For some reason, a freshly washed dress makes you look cooler than you probably feel.
 Apply an anti-perspirant two or three times week, or use a de- odorant twice day. Keep legs and underarms absolutely free from Superf1uous hair.
 KEEP MIND OFF
 THE WEATHER
 | Wear comfortable shoes, a girdle not quite as tight as those you wore last winter, and remember that fre- quent washings lengthen the life oi any foundation garment.
 Above all, refuse to discuss the weather, and keep in mind that il you look cool, scrupulously clear and neatly groomed, you'll mind the fheat less than one whose nose i. I shiny, hair struggling, clothes un- pressed. In the summer time, grooming becomes doubly important from the point of view of comfort as well as appearance.

CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS AND
 Y0TyTH

Several years ago laboratory worker conducting experiments on white rats and guinea pigs observed that manganese, if I recollect, seemed to promote the maternal irl- stinct, rnentiond the curious fact to writer who lacked rudimentary scientific knowledge or perhaps ethical sense, and in no time the sensational press was heralding the discovery of science that man. ganese is the modern love potion.
 The Medical Research Council of Great Britain, having studied the nutrition of all classes of the pub- lie over period of manly years, conclude that prevention of tooth decay requires several times as much sunshine vitamin D as the amount considered necessary to prevent rickets in childhood. The council finds that the amount of vitamin D needed to insure optifnal nutrition q call it vite) at any age is parallel with the amount of calcium required to maintain the most vigorous health at that age. The council quotes Leitch as authority for the statement that the calcium requirement. is greater between the ages of ten and eighteen years than at any other time in life.
 May l remind the reader that cal- cium is no less important a con- stituent of nerve blood and gland tissue than it Is of bones and teeth, and that even though there is enough calcium in the diet (which is questioned by some of the best autht rities on nutrition) an ade- quate ration of sunshine vitamin D is essential for the absorption, met abolism, utilization and retention of the calcium in the body.
 One characteristic manifestation of calcium deficiency in the body is what physiologists and physicians call ''neuro-muscular irritability." To the layman this means nervous ness," jumpiness, abnormal tension, peculiar tendency to ailments due to spasmodic contraction or cratic function of involuntary muscle, such as asthma, spastic constipation and l colon Arrangement (so-called "mu- cous molitis"), tetany Commonly in young children, sometimes occurring in mature adults as painful cramps in legs or arms at night and mi- graine (periodic sick headaches). I have monograph on Calcium Feed ing. High Calcium Diet, Vitamins Everybody Needs, which is yours if you provide a stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Lest we forget, there is phophorus, too. Interesting, phophorus, because it burns so readily, doesn't 1t? And the quacks of an earlier day made a powerful impression on popular imagination when they divined that phophorus or phosphates served as nerve food" and on that basis sold the gullible public unlimited quanti- ties of hypophoSphites. phosphates and glycerophosphites.
 If you get enough calcium you may depend on 1t you will get all the phosphorus you need withou. giving phosphorus another thought.
