Dorothy Dix Says
Only Children Who Are Serious
Deserve a College Education

they have heard wild and giddy tales
of campus life and the fun and trolic
to be had there.
So they put the pressure on their
poor old parents. They argue and
plead and sulk and cry until finally
father and mother give in, and they
put a mortgage on the house and
draw out the last cent that they
have saved for their old age from
the bank, and father takes on an
extra job and mother doesn't even
have a woman in to help with the
laundry.
And when the terrible price has
been paid for Marys and Johns
college course; when the mortgage
on the house has been foreclosed.
and work and worry and anxiety
have broken father and mother and
made them 10 years older, all of the
money has been spent in vain, and
worse than in vain, because neither
one has learned anything that will
help them to help themselves. And
both have come home with exag-
gerated ideas of their own impor-
tance and with tastes that they
have not the money to crafty.
I am not deprecating the value At
college education for boy or gin
who has a thirst for knowledge ana
the scholars temperament. Nor b
there any reason why the <ricA
should not send their children b
college in their adolescent period.
when they are nuisances at home
and something has to be done with
them.
But poor people who must make
terrific sacrifices TO send their chill
dren to college should make sure
that Mary and John are in the near
genius class before they impoverish
themselves to do so. Otherwise, they
do more harm than good. And in
this opinion 1 am backed up by the
great majority of college presidents.
So, Puzzled Mother, I think you
and your husband will be doing a
very foolish thing if you invest the
last cent you have in a college edu-
cation for this daughter who OBJ
viously has no serious idea of study
and only wants to have good time.
Evening star., 1940-10-24

Dear Dorothy Dix-My daughter,
II years of age, finished high school
last session. She has recently de-
cided to 90 to college and I suspect
that it is not so much that she is
anxious for the higher education as
for the good times that she thinks
she would have. If We send her to
college, it will be great hardship
for her father and me to meet her
expenses, and it will probably mean
that we would lose our house by do
ing so. Our son finished college last
year and We drained our purse to
help him through. Daughter doesn't
seem to have any ambitions about
working after we make the big sacri-
flee for her. She is madly in love
with a boy who is now 10. She Is
the only girl and we could give her
a fairly good time and it would make
me very happy If she would stay at
home and let me have little of her
companionship. What shall We do
about it? PUZZLED MOTHER.
Answer-One of the most pitiful
things in the world is the sacrifices
that so many parents make to put
boys and girls through college who
are not college material.
All of us know dozens of fathers
and mothers who deprive themselves
of every comfort in life; who do
without the food they require. the
vacation they need. the medical at
tention that would prolong their
lives in order to send John and Mary
off to college, though John and Mary
have gotten poor grades all through
public school and have never shown
the slightest intellectual yearnings.
Who do they do it? Goodness
knows. Sometimes it is because the
parents make a fetish of a college
education and believe, in spite of all
the evidence to the contrary, that .
college degree is a magic talisman
that never fails to make its possessor
rich and famous.
Oftenest it is because Mary and
John are determined to 60 to college
and bedevil their parents into send
ing them, whether they can afford
it or not. It isn't because they ex-
pect, or desire, to take up any par
ticular branch of study at college.
1t is because the other boys and girls
they run with are going and because

Ctament of Imported Cheeses Turns Attention Domestic Types
Grace of Body
Obtained by
Exercise
Women Should Find
Time to Perfect
Their Figures
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

No woman can have a body beau
tiful solely by keeping to normal
weight and ardently wishing. Grace
of body-both contour and move
ment-is acquired by exercising the
body in one way or the other. Our
bodies were made for action, and
when We grow lazy and do not ex-
ercise them they lose their figure
appeal quickly and our movements
grow jerky and unlovely to watch.
If you are an habitual reader of
this column you know that there
are many methods Of exercising
from which to choose. A woman
may study ballet or ballroom
dancing, she may join gymnasium
or swimming club, she may walk 3
firm supporting shoes. or she may
90 through a routine Of calisthenics
at home. Sports also offer a very
pleasing and efhcacious form of
exercise. So no woman has an ex-
cuse for being physically lazy.
BY keeping fit one builds up an
immunity to many physical all
ments. You undoubtedly have
known a very old lady at one time
or another who was spared many
of the ailments common to old peo-
Pile Fit as fiddle" was she, and
getting lot Of fun out Of her wan
ing life. Such woman most likely
had led a very active life, but
sensible one She probably bore
children, had certain amount Of
work to do daily, which she did
cheerfully. and used her spare
hours walking, gardening or other
wise was physically active She didn't
rely on an automobile to take her
two blocks to the market! She
didn't mind wheeling her babies
few miles in the open air each day.
She liked to do her housework and
she planned it so she would not get
too tired. If she were modern for
her day she most likely enjoyed a
competitive game, such as tennis,
badminton. croquet, golf, or she rode
and swan. For keeping her body
in condition she reaped good health
and a sound perspective when she
grew old.
Many women today are too lazy
for their own good. They find in
Vulnerable excuses for not keeping
their bodies in the pink of condition.
Overweight or underweight is ex-
cused because Of an imagined all
ment. Lethargy is charged to too
much work. Stiff joints are the
fault of the climate or weather.
Drab beauty is theirs because their
trials have been too many. All is
nonsense. Every woman can and
should find time to protect her
health! And sufficient exercise is
one of the four primary rules Of
health. The other three are we'll
balanced menus, enough rest and
certain amount Of recreation.

Manners
of the
Nj m e n t

There are times when business
woman would like to entertain a
man for business reasons. She
doesn't want to make the affair too
social and have him for dinner at
home But she wants it more infor-
NAL than a conference in an ONCE
would be.
There she faces a real problem.
If she lets the man pay for the
lunch she's not accomplishing her
purpose He may consider that he
was roped into something and used.
If, on the other hand, she pays, he
feels like 2 cents under the scorn-
full eye of the waiter and the other
guests.
A smart girl, of course, gets the
whole thing paid for in advance,
so that the question of the check
never comes up.
But if she didn't have time for
that she should really find an
excuse for leaving the table before
the meal is over, so that she can
confer privately with the head
waiter. The check has simply got
to be kept out Of sight. JEAN.

Knack for Working
With Yeast Dough
Easv to Acquire

Working with yeast dough is easy
and fun. A few practice sessions
with a good recipe give a cook the
knack of mixing and kneading the
dough, for reliable recipes and de-
pendable fours have taken the
guesswork out of home baking. Es-
sential yeast dough ingredients are
-four. liquid and yeast.
Yeast is the tiny plant or cell
which transforms a dough into the
delicious porous structure of rolls
and bread. Like any living thing,
yeast is Influenced by temperature.
It thrives best at 80 degrees to IS
degrees Fahrenheit, which is
slightly cool to the touch and
slightly warmer than ordinary room
temperature. II the -four and the
room in which the dough is mixed
are cool, the liquid needs to be
warmer than lukewarm. When flour
and kitchen are warm cooler liquid
Is best to use.
Kneading the yeast dough thor
oughly mixes the ingredients and
helps to develop the gluten in the
-four into fine meshwork. Knead-
ing is a rhythmic rocking motion
with the heels" of the hands
folding the dough over on itself,
pushing it lightly, and folding it
over again. Sticky at the start, the
dough becomes smooth and elastic
after 8 to 10 minutes Of kneadlng,
and then is ready for rising.
Soft doughs make the best breads.
30 do not use too much flour dur
ing kneading. A pastry cloth or
canvas facilitates kneading soft
dough.
Rising of yeast dough permits the
yeast to develop, to leaven the
dough, and to tenderize the gluten
In the flour. Letting dough rise un-
til doubled in bulk is satisfactory
rule for most hard wheat all-pur-
pose fours. Doughs made from soft
wheat all-purpose flours, common
in the South, need rise only until
almost doubled in bulk. If the i'm
print remains when the dough IS
pressed with a finger, the dough is
light. Best rising temperature is
30 to IS degrees, Fahrenheit.
After dough is punched down. it
needs 10 to IS minutes of rest before
1t is nodded into rolls or bread.
During the rest period the dough
regains its resiliency and becomes
easy to handle.
A cool or cold oven may ruin rolls
or bread that otherwise would have
been excellent. so be sure to use a
pre-heated oven. Baking tempera-
lures for yeast breads range from
moderate 1915 degrees Fahrenheit
for richer doughs to moderately hot
(425 degrees FahrenheiD for plain
bread. Bread or rolls are done when
they shrink slightly from the sides
of the pan and sound hollow when
thumped lightly.
Be sure to cool home baked bread
thoroughly before storing.
