dread of the evening. And if her husband starts in to moan and groan, she cuts him short.
 For she knows neither of them is good enough actor to switch convincingly from a "How-are- we = going to o- stand it?" to an Isn't this nice?" attitude.
 While they are with the other couple she never lets herself store up criticisms to pass on to her husband. She knows that the more they discuss the couples faults, the more they will dislike them. So whatever happens to annoy or amuse her-she keeps to herself.
 This woman is no Pollyanna, and she doesn't pretend that she steers clear of finding fault with her hus- bands business associates and their wives because she doesn't think 1t is nice to talk about people whose hospitality they accept.
 She has more practical reason. And one that ought to convince other women that her rule of "si- lence" is smart if not' actually golden.

WOMAN,S REALM
GIOrifing Yourself
Ry Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer

It is mistake for any woman, no matter how overweight she is, to go on any starvation reduc- ing diet without first consulting her family doctor. He is the one best qualified to tell her whether or not she should consume less than 230O calories per day in an effort to reduce.
 If your doctor agrees that 1t would be fine thing for you to reduce your daily intake of cal- ories to 12 or IA hundred, then arm yourself with calorie chart and resolve to eat bulky foods, low in caloric content, rather than those which are exceedingly rich in calories. Don't be misled in- to thinking that ALL fruits and ALL vegetables are in the low cal- orie class.
 High CaIorie Fruits
 For instance, apples, berries, cherries, peaches, watermelons and oranges are low calorie foods. But dates, figs and stewed prunes are not. There are 100 calories in a large apple and an equal number in two stewed prunes with two teaspoon full of juice.
 Asparagus, string beans, beets, carrots, celery, tomatoes, spinch cabbage and turnips are among the low calorie vegetables. But lentils, potatoes and peas are not.
 There are 100 calories in 25 stalks of asparagus and an equal number in three-quarters of a cup of fresh or canned peas. If you ate 25 stalks of asparagus for lunch, that chances are that you would not be hungry by mid-afternoon. But three quarters of 8 cup of peas probably wouldn't even start to appease your hunger.
 Lean beef, lamb, chicken and crab meat are low calorie foods. Pork, sausage and other fat meats are not. There are only 100 call ories in one medium-sized lamb chop, but there are 100 in half of an average-sized pork. chop.
 If you like salads, green vege- tables and lean meats, you ought to be able to figure out a diet on which you certainly will lose weight yet not be hungry between meals. And by all means remember that it is only sensible to eat low calorie meals three times day.

Arch held his tongue. He had to decide whether it was easier to be friends with this quick wit or have an enemy who could rout him at two games, words or fists. He decided to be friends. The other boys finally gave in. Frank had scored.
 You see, a new boy has to have spunk. And he has to do the best he can at all times. We must not drive him, but we must not pity him openly. He will work it out in his own way.

 e. My three children are chubby, healthy, have good capacities and sleep well. My mother insists that they should have cod-liver oil in addition to the fresh fruit, vege- tables, milk, eggs, etc. Since they play outdoors most of the day is it necessary to add cod-liver oil to their diet?
 A. Have your family physician advise you on this.
 e. How may I give my baby's feet proper care?
 A. The baby should be allowed to walk barefooted whenever condi- tions are favorable, and he should be allowed to walk naturally, with the toes straight ahead, not turned out. For the very young child, no stockings or bootees are needed, ex- cept for warmth, and when used, they should be large enough for free toe action, one-half inch longer than the foot. Cotton stockings are best, except in very cold climate. where wool is preferable.
 e. Give directions for washing blankets.
 A. First, choose a clear, windy day. Put soap, either flakes or jelly, into the tub or washer and dissolve 1t with hot water. Then add cold water until the solution is luke warm. Whip it into strong suds, im- merse the blankets, one or two at time, and start the washing, or squeeze the suds through by hand.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. "a
Elliott Roosevelt warned organized
labor last night that it faces a
''frightful beating" in the session of
Congress which opens in January.
There is new threat in the air."
he said in a Nation wide radio
broadcast, "in the minds of the peo-
pie and in the words of men who
frequently have battled in labor's
behalf-that unless some semblance
of peace is restored, labor is in for
frightful beating.
What the lawmakers give, they
sometimes take away. The country
is out of patience with the surly,
picayunish attitude of two great or
carnations that have split all labor
in half and now refuse to do any,
thing about it."

That John L. Lewis, czar of the

to arrive at some compromise, or at
some workable solution, seems to
indicate to many that this gentle
man is not as able or as competent
as he is cracked up to be-"

In this specific instance labor is

Capital and labor must agree
Capital can raise wages a certain
amount and still make a profit.
Labor can give ground on it's desires

Declaring that workers are not
arguing for a wage increase, Mr..
Roosevelt said the labor union wants
complete control over production

privileges in the company opera

In other words, they want the
right to slow down or speed up pro-
duction at will and to tell the COM

are not. They also want to force
the company to deduct the cost of
the union dues from employees SAL
