By BEATRICE SMALL


Dear Friend: A year ago I met a
very NICE young man who asked me
a1tef few months to wait for him
as he had hopes of getting a more sub
stantlal job. In the meantime | have
met another young man who seems
interested in me but l don't know
whether l should encourage him as
the other young man asked me to wait
Tor hlm. Conditions haven't become
any better and nothing more has been
sad about marriage wherein this other
young man shows that he is definitely
interested IN my making up my mind
right away about him. Am l engaged
to the first young man since | said l
would wait OF has a sufficient amount
OF time passed for me to consider my
self free to accept this other propo-
sal ?-ANNABELLE.
Dear Annabelle: What I would like
to know is are you in love with either
young man or are you Just in the mar
ket for home? Your trend of thought
leads me to believe that becoming a
Mrs. is more important than whether,
you care for the young man. That is
a dangerous time in a young woman's
life because she is signing her death
warrant to any chance she may have
for happy marriage. If you really
loved the first young man and felt
that his proposal was sincere you
would wait and plan for the time when
YOU would be together. On the other
hand if through meeting this other
young man you find that it was infatu-
alton for the first one, YOU owe him
an explanation to the effect that you
will have to discontinue your friend
ship. But consider wisely this second

because they were talking about food
with as much enthusiasm as a football
game; abashed, because she realized
that home cooked food was a novelty
to them. Kay was so busy excepting
up" with her sons she hadn't much
time to cook, so most of their meals
came out of cans, when they weren't
eating in restaurants
Katherine asked her sons, a bit APP
prehensively, DO you mean you'd
rather have Mrs. Greene for a mother
-than-me"
Gee, no, Kay, Bob answered
promptly. why, you're the best pal
in the world! But Mother Greene
well, she's different-not like you at
all. She's lots older, l guess, cause
she has some grey hairs, and she's quite
fat, and she even wears cotton dresses"
Bob explained, but she's so jolly and
sweet-just like the mothers you read
about"
And when we left" Jackie inter
rupted, she Rugged us and told us
to come and see her anytime we
wanted to. She called us her other
two sons"
she invited you, too, Kay" Bob
sad. Say, why don't you come with
us some afternoon and maybe you can
get her to teach YOU how to make
apple pie like hers"
katherine answered Iaughingly, and
with touch of pride, But, Bob, I
already know how to make apple pie
Why your father used to say I made
the best apple pie in the worldw
You know how to make apple pie.
Kay" Bob asked, incredulously. But
you've never made us any, and both
boys looked at her with reproach.
katherine was silent for a moment,
bordering the situation. The bows
seemed to be fond of this Mrs. Greene
with her home cooking and her mother
ly ways. And all the time she had
thought the boys didn't want her to
mother them. 1t would be grand,
Kay thought, to be real mother to
Bob and Jackie instead of a make
believe sister. She could stay home
and prepare meals for them, mend
their clothes, and do other motherly
chores. Besides, they really should as
sociate more with boys their age, in
stead of having her tag along with
them everywhere. Kay decided to in
augurate her maternity campaign right
now)
"Oh, boys" she said excitedly. GIVE
a grand idea. Let's chuck the show
and go marketing. Well buy loads of
supplies and I'll cook you all your
favorite dishes for Understanding

Say, that is a grand idea, KAY"
Box exclaimed. apple pie! Oh boyw
" And we can make some ice cream"
Jackie suggested, "and then we'll have
apple pie a la mode-just like in the
restaurant, Kay"
Eyes, We can" Kay said, "but I
don't believe We'll be eating much
more in the restaurant. I'll have to
spend my time proving to you that
Pm as good a cook as Mother
Greene. And, Bob-and Jackie, how
would you like to call me mother
like YOU do Mrs. Greene?"
you mean-you wouldn't mind,
kay?" Bob asked surprised. IT mean
mother"
"Why, of course not, "Kay answer
ed. Its always been my favorite
name-much nicer than Kay or Kath-
crime"
Say I'll bet you make the best
apple pie I've ever tasted,-Mother".

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE
Soft Corns

Soft COrns
Who can be happy, amiable and
beautiful when his feet are painful
from soft corns between the toes.
Get rid of them quickly and then see
how soon the muscles relax, the face is
reposeful and your mind is at rest.
Just do this. Use solution of cold
cream and common baking soda be-
tween the toes, then insert a soft pad
of lambs wool or cotton.

Enthusiasm Grows
For White jersey

The practically of white jersey,
the smart appearance, the adapt
ability to sculptural draping and ex-
quisite tailoring has so impressed
designers they are expressing an
enthusiasm for it that knows no
bounds. Try out a costume of jer-
sey and see what it does for you.

the touch the sort you Glove to
wear" The white rayon jersies es-

sun without a hat or some sort of
covering over your head. The sun
has tendency to bleach and streak
the hair, making your "crown of
glory" look for all the world like
tabby cat.
RecOnditiOning Suggestions
If my warning has come too late,
however, here are few suggestions
which may help repair the damage.
Olive oil is an effective and mex
pensive aid to parched scalps. Rub
it in the scalp and leave it in over
night for the best results. Then,
if your hair has become streaked
from over-eXposure to the sun, a
good hair coloring will quickly re-
store it to it's original shade. Be
sure that you select a coloring that
exactly matches the original shade
so that as your hair grows in you
will be unable to distinguish where
the coloring stops and your natural
colored hair begins.
Remember that soft, cleaning
hair is one of the greatest assets
woman can have. Don't spoil your
chances by failing to take the
proper precautions.

622 WPA WORKERS
 GOT OTHER WAGES
Investigation of COnnecti= cuts Percentages One
 of Highest in U. s.

An investigation ordered by the United States Congress has revealed that 622 Connecticut WPA workers, or 2.4 per cent of the states total, have been working on the WPA while having other incomes. The Connecticut percentage was one of the highest in the country, being exceeded only by Kentucky, Ar kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.
 The report has been made public by WPA Administrator Harrington, who said that all WPA employees with other incomes have been dis missed as being ineligible for jobs in the federal work relief program.
 Figures were computed for the period between February IS and March 15. Throughout the nation, there were 37,404 persons or 1.3 of the national total, dismissed be- cause of having other sources of in- come.
 The figures supplied by Col. Har- rington were given him by state WPA administrators, who were in- structed to supply them after the in- vestigation had been ordered by congress.

HEALTH FORUM
 IN CAMBRIDGE
Gathering of New England Officials Tomorrow, Sat-
 urday For Conference

Public health officials, school ad- miniStrators and community health workers from all sections of New England will converge at Cambridge, Mass, Friday and Saturday of this week to participate in the proceed ings of the New England Health Education Institute. The sessions are to be held at Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology.
 The sponsoring organizations are the New England Health Educa- tion association, the state tubercu- losis associations and the depart ments of health and education in each of the six states. The purpose of the institute is to orientate edu- cators and health officials to recent advances in public health prac- tices.
 During their two day stay in Cambridge delegates to the insti- ute will be addressed by some of Americas most distinguished public health and educational leaders. Va- rious aspects of their problems will be considered by means of lectures, discussions and exhibits.
 Arrangements for the meeting have been made by a large commit tee composed of representa- tives from

numbers of Americans served over seas in the Canadian army. (Many earning distinction), the Royal Air Force, the Princess Pats, the Ladies from Hell; they all had their quota of men from over the border, to whom the names Yypres, Festubert. Sanitary Wood, Zoillebeke, the Somme, Viny, Passchendaele, etc., bring back the memories of dark days when they fought like devils incarnate that they might win through to the end.
 Anyone familiar with the history of operations in the Vimy sector, of how the Allied advance was held up because miles and miles of the line was dominated by the strong ly entrenched Germans on top of the Ridge, can readily see the im- portance of this victory. The Ger mans themselves put such value to it, that twice when they'd been dis lodged, they came back in such strength and at great sacrifice re- took it. The Canadians paid a heavy toll in lives on the morning they stormed the Ridge, but their victory was so decisive and com- plete that never again did a Ger man soldier set foot on the po- sition.
 'To quote Commander Vachon: Tn our observance of Vimy day it is not our intention to glorify the conquest of arms. We make this the occasion upon which to honor the heroes who gave their lives on the slopes of Vimy, and to all others who died on Flanders fields.'"

Canada'S war veterans, and many an American will commemorate an anniversary Tuesday next which will remain immortal in memory of the soldiers of the World War who took part in the battle of Vimy Ridge. Tuesday will be the Fist anniver- sary of the engagement which took heavy toll of lives through the days of attack and defense along the miles of the Vimy sector.
 The lc""l post, Canadian Legion, will hold special ceremonies Sunday, April 30, when members of the post and the auxiliary will attend a serv- ice at 1O:30 o'clock at Trinity church at which the Rev. Roger B. T. An derson will preside.
 Units Invited
 Members of all veteran organiza- tions have been invited to take part.
 The Canadian Legion and auxil- iary will meet at 9:45 o'clock at post rooms; 109 Bank street, before going to the service.
 In connection with the observance of Vimy Ridge day, a spokesman for the Canadian Legion remarked:
 Canada is justly proud of the manner in which her men acquitted themselves during those long four years in which she participated in the World War. We are not unmind- full of the fact that when she blew the call to arms, Canada boasted no vast regular army. In the ranks of the Canadian army, when it became an expeditionary force, were fisher men from the Maritime provinces who had known no other battles than those they'd had to fight against the heavy seas of the North Atlantic. Others came from the peaceful occupation of the wheat fields of the Middle West. The lum- Der camps of Quebec, the Yukon, and Northwest Territories, yes, and from every state in the Union came men to demonstrate that while they believed in law and order and in the sacredness or peace, they were still capable of achieving such vic- tories as history has since credited to them.

 SUICIDE MAY DIE

Bridgeport, Conn, April 20.-(UP) Carl Carlson, B, Easton handy man who attempted suicide Tuesday by hacking his throat with a knife while perched in tree 50 feet above the ground, was given "a very slim" chance today to live.
 At St. Vincent's hospital his con- dition was reported as poor" and little hope was held for his recovery.
 Carlson, his mind deranged from worry over the war threats in Eu- rope, climbed into the tree and threatened to kill himself if attempts were made to rescue him. After slashing his throat several times he became so weak from loss of blood that he was unable to resist firemen who climbed in to the tree and low cred him to the ground.
