With 16 additional pages of clas-

Of the new winter-spring Washing
ton telephone directory are being
distributed to approximately 49,
900 subscribers in the District. it
was announced by D. E. Mccoy,
general commercial manager of the
company.
Hundreds of employees must COM
plete great amount of detailed
compilation before the directories
are issued. Names, street addresses
and telephone numbers are checked
many times to reduce. as far as pos
sible, any possibility of error.
Large staffs continue the work
after the directory is printed, add
ing and removing listings, prepar-
ing advertising for the classified
section and changing telephone
numbers.
The company urged subscribers
to look through their old directories
before they are replaced to make
sure that no valuable papers have
been left in them.

Nervous Spells A Sign Of
 Maladiustment

Redirect Your Nervous Energies
 What burden to herself and others is the woman with nervous spells" Though she has the fine sensibilities that make for charm, her scenes embarrass friends and family. She fails, too, to win the sympathy she deserves.
 For in this day of high tension living, a sensitive nervous system is a real problem unless you give nerves the proper care.
 It is easy today to become a chronic worrier, exhaust your nerv- ous energies in useless fretting. Give nerves instead a healthful out- let in games, dancing.
 And when nerves are really run down, the rest cure is the best cure. If you're restless, poor sleeper, before you retire take a short walk, warm bath and warm glass of milk.
 A balanced diet, too, will build up your nerves as well as your gen. eral health. Include plenty of pro- teins, minerals such as iron, cal- cium.
 Understand your nerves, don't

alarms about kndnaping and so on, it becomes a question to consider.
 You say your mother lives fifty miles away on a main line rail- road with no ,in-between stops, and that the boy would be met by his grandparents. In that case I am sure you would be taking no great chance. If they meet him at the train, I do not see what danger there would be.
 When you put him on his car, talk to the porter or conductor and ask him to keep an eye on him. Then caution Jimmy not to leave his car at any price. He must sit there and be good.
 Now, on a bus, the problem IS . bit more complicated. Buses make stops here and there and Jimmy will probably want to get off with the rest. The driver, also, gets off, as a rule. Jimmy might be tempted to wander about and arrive just in time to see 1t pull out without him.
 However, drivers are very alert to their passengers welfare, check up on empty seats and know who is there and who isn't. So If you ever think about sending your son on c bus alone, do ask the driver to keep tabs on him.
 MUST NOT GO
 WITH STRANGERS
 The fact is that some children have as much sense about travelling as we have. Others do not. They will circumvent all our warnings some way. I would put little faith in c child like that.
 There is a last word, in any case. The child must not be tempted to 90 any place with someone unknown to him. Never trust him to a stranger in an automobile. It Is astonishing the number of children who do travel alone, and safely. But the big word Is CAU- TON. Once your little junketeer gets the idea that he is absolutely not to do anything contrary to or- ders, he will be safe, am sure. No standing on platforms, no monkeying with ropes, no foolish- ness. And, of course, he must be met.
 Yours sincerely,

PINEAPPLE PREFERRED

Some simple souls sternly take dose of grapefruit, lemon or the juice thereof in the belief that it keeps on thin or even reduces cor pulence. I wonder how this strange property came to be ascribed to grapefruit and lemon. Perhaps some sourface who had never been exposed to physiology imagined that the sourness caused @ prodi- gious pucked to pass through the entire body and take up slack every where. The truth is that grapefruit or lemon is merely less nourishing and less fattening than, say ham and eggs or pancakes and maple syrup.
 I have nothing in the world against lemons or grapefruit. In fact I grow 'em both (one tree each. But please don't ask me to eat or drink any lemon or grape fruit in any circumstance. except when a mere dash is mixed in with edible things, as in a fruit punch or cocktail or in salad. Wherever a dish or a recipe calls for vinegar, I prefer lemon juice, because vine- gar (dilute acetic acid) is not util- ized as a food, but acts as an acid in metabolism, while lemon juice (dilute citric acid) is oxidized and utilized as a food in the body and leaves as alkaline residue or ash (alkaline carbonates). Try lemon juice in place of vinegar in salad dressings or as a condiment and you'll soon find that it is quite as pleasing and perhaps more accept able to the stomach.
 In nutritive value, that is, fuel value, calories, there is little dif- ference between orange, lemon, grapefruit and pineapple - each yields approximately 200 to 225 calories per pound.
 They tell be grapefruit grown hither and yon really is not bitter, but I'd almost swear nux vomica could be extracted from any have ever tasted.
 Of course, there is no objection that l know of, if you prefer grape fruit. No accounting for tastes. But I am happy to assure any one who isn't fond of it that orange or pineapple is equally effective from every point of view. I urge all of our customers who are following the Corrective Protective Diet one, two or more days week (don't in- terrupt now, send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for it, for rejuvenation to include a slice or two of pineapple or glass of pineapple juice (without sugar add ed) in lieu of orange juice or grapefruit, if desired.
 Pineapple is in the fresh state a good source of vitamins. Canned pineapple is still a good scource of vitamins B and c and fair source of c. Fresh raw pineapples contains a ferment which aids in the diges- tion of meat in either acid or al- kaline medium.
 The natural sugar in pineapple is about half cane sugar and half invert sugar (fruit sugar, levu- lose). In canning pineapple it is a common practice to fill the can

GlOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stah Writer If you want at least few of the vacation snapshots of yourself to be worth pasting in an album, you might consider some of the makeup tricks that Hollywood stars employ before they appear at events where candid cameramen are lurking.
 According to an interesting arti- cle in the Hollywood magazine, Glamour" when any star goes to the races or a night club, or any other place where she thinks she might be photographed, she wears fairly heavy powder base, plenty of | lipstick. And she shades her rouge more carefully.
 She remembers, too, that:
 Rouge applied on cheekbones makes them less rompinent, but that heavy powdering makes these bones stand out.
 The way to bring a receding chin forward is to powder 1t heav- fly. This applies also to cheek hol- lows. If you want them to be less conspicuous, powder them lavishly If you want to accent holloWs, how ever, use rouge instead of powder
 A short nose is given length when the powder used on it is lighter than the rest of the face. A long nose appears shorter when 1t is more darkly powdered than the rest of the face.
 SHADINGS NOT
 TOO OBVIOUS
 Furthermore, broad nose is slen- derized when dark powder is used on the sides and lighter shade down the center. None of these shadings need be obvious, of course. The cam era catches what cannot be seen with the naked eye.
 Black eyelashes and brows show up most clearly, and eyes always ap- pear larger when the lashes are curled back. Their sparkle may be enhanced by mere touch of vas- cline over shadoWed lids.
 For the camera, the hair must have highlights. Vigorous brushing will bring out tthe natural sheen. If not, bit of brilliantine will do the trick. Finally, a crooked hair part can throw the entire face off, balance.

Pattern 659 makes two versions of smart frock, and also includes cape and a hat.

It's fashioned along the same easy lines as the first style, even to the sleeves and collar of the little blouse beneath. Then, when days grow chilly, bun- dle her up in the trim military cape, gay in a bright fireman-red. See the slits for tiny hands; the pert collar. A saucy round cap, made in four sections, matches the cape.

Of Interest To Women

o. Are definite periods of mourn ing prescribed for degrees of rela- tionship?
 A. No. Shorter periods of mourn ing are becoming more and more customary and many persons prefer not to impose the symbol of their personal grief on a world already overburdened.
 o. How many teeth should a year-old child have?
 A. Most children of that age have six teeth.
 Q. Is there a simple method for retinting cream, ecru, and brown curtains?
 A. Add slowly, a strong solution of tea or coffee, or a combination of both, to hot water, until the de- sired tint is produced when tested on a piece of muslin. Remove the curtain as soon as the right shade is obtained.
