ONE CERTAINTY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Vanity of vanities the Preacher saith
All things are vanity. The eye and ear
Cannot be filled with what they see and hear,
Like early dew, like the sudden breath
OF wind, or like the grass that wtthereth,
Is man, tossed to and fro by hope and rear:
So little Joy hath he, SO little cheer,
Tin all things end in the long dust OF death.
To-day is still the as yesterday,
Tomorrow also even as one OF them;
And there is nothing new under the sun:
nth the ancient Of Time be run.
The old thorns shall grow out of the old stem,
And morning shall be cold and twilight grey.

Many families who spend a large

not so well nourished as those
families on relief control diets, ac-
cording to Margaret Sawyer, ma
tionally known budget and, nutri-
ton expert. "Just a lot of food does
MT guarantee nourishment, Miss
Sawyer explains. Unless family'S
food supplies the bodys demands
for all the nutritional elements, it Is
not good food, no matter how expen-
sive or fancy it may be.
Families on relief control diets
frequently are better nourished
because of their diets are planned
by scientists who regard food as
body building and health main
tanning elements. Even with very
little money, the housewife who is
guided by the advice of nutrition
lists and market experts, can sup
ply her family with wholesome
meals"

applied nutrition at University of
Iowa, with the Red Cross, and who
is now director of Consumer Serv-

ton, adds, II have always found

BLITHE DRESS HAS
BACK BUTTONING

The carefree, happy-go-lucky spi-
rit of this Claire Tilden dress Is
right in tune with summertime,
Though Pattern LOT looks guileless
enough from the front, it springs a
gay surprise when you turn your
back. sor a. button opening goes
clear from the neck to the hem! A
saucy feature that's practical too,
letting you get dressed without mus
sing the smoothness Of either your
fabric or your hair-do. The slightly
raised waist-seam that curves up in
front and the panel in the skirt
both help to make your waist and
hips look lean and smooth. The
new silhouette is carried out by a
softly bloused bodice. Isn't the
scalloped shape of the yoke attrac-
tive? You might accent it with
CHEEKY ric-rac, using more ric-rac
all around the waist-seam and on
the short sleeves. The round SIM
plicity Of the neckline is very young.
Try the whole top In contrast If you
like, using a smart sl1antung, cham
bray or spun rayon for your fabric.
Pattern 107 is cut in misses and
women's sizes IA, 16, 1S, 20, 80, "a,

In game very similar to that played
at Gilbert a year ago, which Gilbert
took, to o, the Red and White fought
hard for an upset that again eluded
them by a small margin.
Twice Ely drove to within the shadow
of the Gilbert goal posts, only to have
passes intercepted by the Gilbert de-
fensive players While the visitors had
good advantage in yards gained from
scrimmage, practically all the play was
on their side of the field in the first
and fourth quarters, the second was
even, but the third was very much in
the vicinity Of Ely's goal posts
The players and fans submitted to
