Winter squash, baked to perpec- tion, is rich in vitalnin A and sup plies calcium, phosphorus and iron. It is low in calories and is there fore welcome by those trying to keep down their weight and at the same time keep up their intake of vitamins and minerals.
 Winter squash is divided into several branches. The Table Queen or acorn squash is one of the most widely used. Its shell is dark green, hard and ridged, and the flesh is a rich orange-yelloW. Hubbard and Boston marrow squash are other popular winter varieties.
 In selecting squash, choose one heavy for its size and free from blemishes. The rind should be firm and smooth. If rind is soft, that means the squash may be immature and the flesh thin and watery when cooked; also lacking in flavor.
 The mild tartness of apple and calorie rich sausage combined with acorn squash can produce a de- licious vegetable. fruit and meat combination at low cost.

LESS NOISE, PLEASE

Physiologically noise slows peris- talic activity and decreases the flow of saliva and gastric juice hence impairs or retards digestion.
 The use of ear protectors in a weaving establishment increased effi- ciency 7.5 per cent.
 Tn packing room the output in- creased 12 per cent after a riosy ventilating fan was turned of, de- spite the resulting decreased ven- tilation.
 People grow accustomed to the noise of traffic-subway, elevated, railway, automobile, and are hardly conscious of 1t, but extraneous or new noises produce more or less emo- tional response. Battling, squeaking, intermittent or cratic noises are annoying out of all proportion to their intensity.
 A pernicious source of noise is the automobile horn. Considering the amount of noise made by reckless or unskilled drivers-who herald their approach by blasts of the horn in- stead of keeping the car under con- trol and ready to avoid collision at the corner-and by dimwits who use the horn to summon people or just to call attention to themselves-it is remarkable that many drivers of or dinary skill and intelligence scarcely know whether the horn works unless they happen to blow 1t accidentally.
 It is not only the intensity level of the automobile horn blast, which may reach 102 decibels at dis tance of g feet, and that is some noise, but the presence of inhar- monic overtones that makes horn blowing so annoying.
 Ordinances against unnecessary blowing of the automobile horn are not often enforced. There should be a courageous enforcement of such ordinances, especially against the reckless drivers who rely on the horn ot blast the way for them to speed past corners, regardless of the rights, comfort or safety of other drivers. Such lesson to the half- wit would have al wholesome effect on the sum of unnecessary noises that compose this serious nuisance of modern civilian life.
 Cotton plugs in the ears reduce noise intensity about 10 decibels. Specially devised protectors reduce air-borne sound from % to 40 deci- bels. Rubber stoppers reduce noise 25 to 30 decibels, and special de- fender described by V. o. Knudsen in National Safety News, February, 1889, reduce the noise intensity from 45 to 50 decibelS.
 Persons using cotton plugs in the ears to shut out excessive or dis turbing noise should use crude cot- ton, not absorbent cotton. or If only absorbent cotton is at hand dip the plug lightly in olive oil and squeeze out the evcess of oil before inserting 1t in the ear.

 Street, Washington, D. C.. for . personal reply.
 c. Tn which age group are women most likely to lose their husbands by death?
 A. Women between the ages of 55 and 59 are more apt to be widowed than any other age group; 60 to GA is the next highest, and 50 to 54 the third.
 e. What is the chief cause of blackheads?
 A. Dirt. One of the most effec- tive methods to keep the skin free from blackheads is to wash the face thoroughly with soap and warm water at night before retiring. Scrub with a coarse wash cloth and rinse first with clear warm water and then with ice cold water; rubbing the skin with the palms of the hands until the face tingles. A soft brush is useful in cleansing the pores. Ice-cold water serves as an astringent and improves the circu- lation of the blood which in turn improves the texture and condition of the skin.
 o. What is the best wood to use for the covered parts of upholstered furniture?
 A. Hard woods, such as ash, birch, or hard maple, are used in the un- seen parts of the frame. They are sufficiently strong to support the weight and also increase durability in other ways, because they hold in

BEAUTY TREATMENTS
 CAN'T REPLACE SLEEP

There are no two ways about 1t - sleep is every woman's great est aid to beauty. No amount of skin treatments can possibly make up for lack of 1t. And it's wise girl who realizes this at an early age.
 She must realize, also, that no amount of makeup can conceal bad skin texture which is due to improper eating. Like the Holly wood stars, the models and the debutantes, she must eat more salads and green vegetables than rich pastries and heavy, starchy fodo. She must learn to nibble fruit rather than sweets when she is hungry between meals. She must drink plenty of water and fruit and vegetable juice every single day.

MOVIE STARS

In other words, they feel that nine hours of sleep per night are necessary to their health and beauty.
 Photographers models, who smile at you from billboards and magazine covers, make 1t a rule to sleep more than eight hours each night.
