available or dispensable store of potassium, repeated doses of adrena- line (epinephrine) are no longer ef- fective.
 The suggestion made by Dr. Bloom is that potassium plays role in the prevention of allergy, but he says that obviously other eIectrolytes, in- cluding sodium, calcium, chloride and iodide, take part in this complex reaction.
 Five grains of potassium chloride dissolved in a glass of water is prac- tically tasteless. Five grains o1 potassium chloride taken dissolved in 8 glass of water, three or foul times day, will give striking ben eft in many cases of allergy-suct as the specific manifestations above mentioned, and besides, as men, toned by Dr. Bloom, in some cases of eczema, nasal polyposis ano chronic allergic sinusitis.
 My colleague and counsellor Hippocrates, reminds me to assure readers who have paid their sub- scriptions in advance that flfteer to twenty-five grains of potassium chloride (chloride of potash) in g day or evrey day for that matter can do no more harm than that much common table salt (sodiun chloride) does in any case.

Modern, Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service staff Writer

DO you know your menu FrenchP Several readers ask for little help. So let's have a French class in a kitchen, defining few of the most common words used on restaurant menus.
 Agneau means lamb. Aiguilettes are thin strips of meat or fish, such as strips of breast of duck.
 Aspic is a well-seasoned jelly, al- so any meat, fish, egg or fruit dish placed with or molded in aspic.
 Bordelaise Sauce is brown sauce with chopped shallots and garlic ana a little claret in it.
 En Brochette means that the small pieces of meat or fruit or any delicacy are served on wood- en or metal skewers.
 Ell Caissettes means that the food is served in small individual china or paper dishes.
 Canard is duck and Caneton is duckling.
 Cassoulet is a wonderful stew of mutton, pork, beans, with duck or goose added.
 Misleading Chantilly
 Chantilly Cream is nothing more mystical than whipped cream, but Chantilly Soup is lentil soup.
 Chiffonnade refers to salad in which sorrel and lettuce both ap- pear.
 Chaud- -froid announces cold cooked meat or fish covered with aspic.
 Crecy on a menu tells you there are carrots in the dish. and Diable warns you that the dish has plenty of red pepper in 1t. and when you read on a menu the word Entrecote you can rejoice, for there is @ sir loin steak on the grill.
 Au Gratin tells you that the food has been rolled in or dusted with bread crumbs, and a Grillade is something grilled.
 Nothing Like Fricassee
 Fricandeau is veal stew and a Blanquette is stew of white meat in a white sauce.
 Julienne means in thin, long pieces, such as strips of carrots celery and other vegetables, oi referring to soup, means that it has these long thin strips of veg ettables in 1t.
 Poularde is the best fattened hen but Poulet is just a chicken. Puree is anything mashed or beat en to a creamy thickness, and Quenelles are pounded meats or fish, strained and mixed with cream or egg, used as a garnish in soup.
 Tournedos are small. tender steaks.

New Ohio Senator's Wife
 Sees Women Rejuvenating The Republican Party
MRS. TAFT IS ORGANIZING THEM
BY GERRY DICK

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington-A sense of personal achievement is mixed with Mrs. Ro- bert Taft's pride in her husband, the new senator from Ohio, as he goes about his official duties in Washington. Because Mrs. Taft had a really active part in his campaign.
 From last February right up to election day, Mrs. Taft visited every one of Ohio's eighty-eight counties. She made speeches before mixed meetings as well as women's clubs She never left town without first having organized group of women to carry on the campaign.
 Now, with the campaign behind her. Mrs. Taft Is busily getting set- tied in the handsome house she and the senator have leased on Massa- chusetts avenue.
 Naturally, both feel quite at home here. When the Senator's father, William Howard Taft, was president, Robert-then in college often asked Martha Bowers, daugh- ter of the Solicitor General to be his guest at dancing and supper parties in the White House. Later Martha Bowers became Mrs. Robert Taft, and the young couple moved to Cin- cinnati.

Glorifing Yourself
By AIicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
 Languid mannerisms and a bore' attitude have no place in the mod ern woman's scheme of things. Sh [, thinks it is "old hat" to lack wha the experts call feminine vitality. O. to be uninterested in everything and, as it would be to faint often and tiresomely in the Victorian manner. She doesn't think it chit to be uniformed and she doesn't 20 around saying that if one ha beauty she just doesn't need brain or charm.
 Not that she isn't feminine. Sh, likes cosmetics and clothes ane knows how to wear both. She ike men. Whats more, they don't trea her always as good pal and noth' ing more. It's just that she doesn' go around staring blankly into cor
 ners, being bored and therefort boring and thinking that If sht poses quietly on one side of a room all and sundry will flock to her sidS simply because she's pretty attrac' tive to look at. She knows they may flock because of her beauty, but that they won't stay long if she doesn't have something besides mere beauty.
 She has charm-plenty of it. But it's 8 healthy, vibrant, fascinating charm. You want to sit and talk to her about lots of things-and see her again soon. She doesn't drop handkerchiefs and compacts just to watch the nearest man pick them up. And she can open door now and then without thinking that the man who let her do it is a social boor.
 All in all, she manages to strike an intelligent balance between be- ing a sleeves-rolled-up, to frank and unfeminine individual and an old-fashioned fainting type who was so languid you wanted to shake her.
 Poise is an art with her. She can sit quietly without saying . word for fifteen minutes and not be fidgety or embarrassed at all. She can walk into a roomful of people without wanting to sink through the floor or saying the wrong thing to at least one other guest. She looks placid but not dead tired.
 How does she get that way? We'll, she works hard at beauty routines she knows to be essential. She reads. She thinks. She does things. She takes care of herself without mak- ing @ fetish of being healthy. She just won't let herself be bored. She may not be a beauty, but she is at" tractiYe. And that's enough.

 to the board of the Cincinnati Com munity Chest. She has held office in the Republican Womens Club and the League of Women Voters. Poli- tics is her husbands chosen profess sion, and 1t is her hobby.
 She has unlimited faith in a rejuvenated Republican party, If we bring in live Republicans - new blood', she says. "Women have never before shown such interest in politics. The need is to organize them. They want to be organized"
 Outside of politics and her busy life as wife and mother, Mrs. Taft has no hobbies. T played golf and tennis well enough to teach my sons," she recalled, then stop ped playing when they were too good for me. All of sudden, I be- gan to realize, the losing side in the game was the side l was on."
 Mrs. Taft takes great pride in Sky Farm" an honest to good- ness working farm, where she and her husband live when they are at home. It is about twelve miles outside Cincinnati. T have garden there, and like to keep in touch with everything that goes on there. We grow our own vegetables and flowers"
 Tn the summer Senator and Mrs Taft with their four sons pack of for the Canadian woods. They have a camp near Murray Bay, only a few miles beyond the home of Mrs. William Howard Taft, widow of the late president.
 For the big day. when Congress convened and seated Senator Taft (among others), Mrs. Taft wore a smart brown crepe frock and brown tricorne hat, with gold beads and bracelets to accent her costume. She is a small woman with brown hair and brown eyes, so naturally brown is her favorite color. It is extremely becoming.
 She has the boise that comes of having grown used to the lime light. If it ever made her squint, 1t must have been when she was very young. For as the daughter of a Solicitor General of the United States. daughter-in-law of the pres ident of the United States, and wife of one of Cincinnati's most promi- nent citizens. she has been long &C., customed to it.

This was the trouble: at first mother did the only possible thing. She had to work day and night to provide necessities. But in time her ambition changed. She lost perspec- tive and began to see enticing op- portunity and material success as means for the child's betterment. And lost her child, too, who natur- ally turned to those who shared her childish problems and gave her the close companionship she craved. Working mothers, weighing the benefits of their earnings as bless ings for their children, against the fact that their children may turn somewhere else for human relation ships, will be wise to think serious ly of consequences.
 Naturally this does not mean the mother who is earning bread and butter for her offspring. That Is a problem not easily solved. But I believe that the mother who is earn Ing, just to give her children so- called advantages, should give heed to her situation. Where will she stand in all this? How much will the boy or girl appreciate her? Will she eventually lose them altogether? Would she be better oil at home, with her family, living as best she may on her husbands salary? Or is her work of the type that will per- init her to spend enough time with the children. so that natural ties and affections won't be damaged?
 Sunk in Career"
 The women who succeeds in bus mess finds herself, very frequently, entirely surrounded by outside af- fairs. She employs others to take her place, as she thinks, temporar- fly. In time she herself may find her family irksome, for not only chil- dren but mothers too may change. We have seen many movies based upon the career woman and her child, in which the woman eventu- ally loses sight of the need of a growing child for his or her parents. F1ctional though the plot is, the truth is no less dramatic in many cases. Such things are happening every day.
 Mothers in this class would do well to consider e0berly just what is whether misjudged oppor- tunity for her child is worthy of the displacement of the mother-and- child relationship.

the Chief Executive suggested that
his message of January 4 be read
Mr.. Roosevelt's message of January
4 was his annual report on the state
OF the Nation. In it he said:
There are many methods short

tive than mere words, of bringing
home to aggressor governments the
aggregate sentiment Of our people
At the very least, we can and should
avoid any action or lack of action.

up an aggressor. We have learned
that when we deliberately try to
legislate neutrality, our neutrality
laws may operate unevenly and un-
fairly-may actually give aid to an
aggressor and deny it to the victim.
The instinct of self-preservation
should warn us that we ought not to
let that happen any more"
