 It is strongly recommended that pastors in other parishes urge at- tendance at the parish Mass, Sat- urday, May 10, as an external sign of faith in the Blessed Virgin and of devotion to her Motherhood. Frequently, in the course of Church History, devotion to the Mother of God has been the means of strengthening faith during pe- riods of crisis.

STRENGTH OF THE NATION"- Home Accidents Are Greatest
 Threat To Young Children
MOST ARE EASY TO FORESTALL
By Dr. Richard Arthur Bolt Director, Cleveland Child Health
 Association Written for NEA Service Third of 12 Articles

Accidents, not humps, measles or pneumonia, take the heavy toll of our children today. Accidents are the leading cause of death among children between 1 and 10 and rank second for children between 2 and 4.
 Most frequent causes of acct- dents at home are suffocation, burns, poisoning, cuts, drown ings and falls. Many of these could be prevented by simple pre- caution and ever watchful care.
 The young child is 8 great ex- perimenter. If he sees mother take something from the medicine chest, he may drink 1t, or even try to use daddy's razor. The best way to prevent such accidents is, of course, to keep such things out of baby's reach.
 Mothers should keep h 6 Il d y antidotes for all poisons. If the child swallows poison or some harm full substance, administer the anti dote at once and then call your doctor Immediately.
 DANGER SPOTS
 IN HOME AND OUT
 A surprising number of babies are drowned by being bathed in the family bathtub. Mothers sometimes faint while bending over baby in the tub which has been filled with too much water If the family tub must be used, bathe the child only when some other person is pres ent. The ideal precaution, however, is to bathe the baby in modern bathinette.
 Bed covers should be arranged in such way that they cannot be pulled over the baby's head. Too many deaths are caused from suf- location and can be avoided by care- full attention and the use of simple devices to prevent such accidents. These can be obtained in your local stores.
 Leave no unprotected place such as the head of staircase, an open window, porch or fire place into which toddlers might tumble. Safe ty doors or playpens may be bought or built cheaply. They may save your child from breaking bone or even from death.
 An even more dangerous time comes when the child Is taken Into the streets or permitted to play out doors. First, teach him the differ ence between a red and green light and that speeding motorists have the right-of-way. If that lesson is well taught, the chances of his be- ing crushed by car decrease in- mensely.

Overweigh+s
Very Often
MaInourished
BY IDA JEAN KAN

THE OLD slogan, BE Fit.
Not Fat" should be busted off
and put into practice. Too many
overweights are as soft as
cream puffs.
This is not only from lack of
exercise, but also from the
wrong food habits-too much
starch and not enough protein
and iron. too many assorted
carbohydrates and not enough
vitamins and minerals.
What probably astonishes fat
folks the most is that many of
them are malnourished. On the
surface it doesn't seem possible.
Not with all that fat. But it is
true.
Stored pounds represent only
excess calories and the extra
pounds do not give you an effec-
tive reserve of good red blood
cells. calcium and vitamins for
abundant health.
Not Burning CsIories
IF you keep right on eating a
high NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. vitamin
diet you will keep right on gain
ing weight. Obviously. you are
getting too many calories.
But there is another reason.
You are not efficiently burning
your calories. Vitamins and
minerals are necessary TO liber-
ate energy to its full effect.
Indirectly there is still an
other explanation of your weight
gain. Since you are not getting
the essential materials you need,
nature demands them and makes
you constantly hungry.
You eat more of the things
you don't need and she keeps
demanding the essentials, SO
you don't get anywhere.
Take advantage of the bril-
liant research in nutrition and
balance your diet. Give your
system, the food essentials and
you won't get so hungry.
You will find it isn't so hard
to cut down on calories in the
form of sugars and starches
when you have disciplined your
appetite for a few days and
have taken the protective foods
almost to the exclusion of the
others. --.--.-----...-.----

Dark Powder
Tones Most
FIaHering
BY DONNA GRACE

WITH THE new fashion in
compilations, it seems hard TO
believe there was a time when
one had just two choices of skin
coloring in makeup; they were
dead white and rose pink. and
neither had the least sernblance
TO natural skin tones.
Beloved pioneers who dared
20 use such powders were classed
as brash, artificial hussies and
the poor things looked the part,
too, but at least we know they
were pioneers.
They had the courage 10 try
!. 10 improve their looks and all
Nthis led to new products until
ehow there is not a natural skin
tone that can't be matched In q
fine powder and foundation.
Latin Tinfs
The Summer compilations are
gone and forgotten but. even
though we do see many heavenly,
delicate, lily a n d rose skins.
there is still a keen urge to use
the deep Latin tints.
These South Of the Border
tones are in fact much more
attractive than natural tan. For
instance. take JEANNE - you
know. with the light brown hair
and $3.50 complexion--she can
bring out all the sparkle in her
eyes and add interest to her hair
with a rose and beige blending
of found ation and powder
whereas the light cream would
do nothing TO enhance her
charm.
NV Individual
We believe, though, when in
doubt about correct powder
shades the smart thing TO do Is
step up to the bar and have
one blended for your own use.
There is no extra charge for
this. Most skins look better in
the rachel tones than the lighter
shades.
The important point in assum-
ing a new complexion is first
TO decide on the most flattering
tone, then wear IL all the time.

ERSATz MAY BE BETTER.

The United States is looking ersatz
right in the face. Ersatz is German
word meaning substitute. 1t became
known in English-speaking countries
when. before the war, they were discuss
ing Germanys building of war machine
with unorthodox materials. People used
to like to chuckle over German ersatz, be-
lieving that German tanks and planes
were put together with string and chew
ing gum. Now the world has learned, to
the cost of much of it, that many of the
German ersatz materials are all right.
We will probably learn good deal
about that ourselves in coming months.
We, too, will find that substitution of an
accustomed material for an unaccustom-
ed one doesn't necessarily mean inferior
ity. 1t may, but not necessarily. SO let's
not holler before we're hurt. If familiar
article comes up in an unfamiliar ma
terial, let's not assume that it's no good.
It might even be better
