what national defense has done $

what national defense has done to Washington. Since the war start ed in Europe less than two years ago, more than 30O00 persons have been put to work here. Think what that means m community of something over 650,000. Tn Septem- Der 1899, there were approximately l25,000 persons working here for Uncle Sam. The latest estimate is around l58,OOO and hiring goes on at about 800 a day.
 What does that do to any com munity? It booms it. Rents (long ago among the highest in the country) are oozing up again. The cost of living would make 8 housewife from Crossroads Cor ners turn greenland not with envy. The city fathers insist there is nothing to all this, but I have been told about these four rent cases; CD A huge apartment pro- ject upped it's rentals in the $50- $60 range from $2.50 to $4. @ A friend renting a $9O house was informed that he had to move out or pay $l25.

NEW DRIVERS IN THE SEAT


 According to the society writers who have their fingers on the pulse of every shindig and shin-digger that rates caps in the capital blue book, the "old Washingtonians" and the diplomatic set"-who all ways have ru2ed the Washington social roost in the past-have not only taken a back seat, but aren't doing any driving from there.
 After all, what frosted and frosty widow of the Roosevelt | era can compete with the Stet- tiniuses. the new Supreme Court Justices, the Knudsens, the Knoxes, the Morgenthaus, the Jacksons and the Joneses of today? But there is something more than that. The day when the embassies and lega- tions' could send all social Washing ton a-flutter with an all-out party is gone. What Ambassadors and Ministers haven't lost their coun- tries? Some haven't, but aren't ttose either at war or so at odds that any entertainment is mock cry?

MUCH NEW BUILDING

There is building going on all over Washington public building and private-and although there are houses and apartments for rent or sale at no more than they were a year ago, the Government office situation in many departments has passed the over-crowding stage.
 There are other phases of na- tional defense effect on Washing- ton life-too many to list. A few can be enumerated. Retail busi- ness is booming, but there are some other cities in the Army camp and defense industrial ceil- ters where the monthly index shows greater gains. Society life and night life are moving at high speed And friendships are being made and broken over teacupS as defense partisans vigorously as- sert their views and their new alignments.
 To the folks in the. hinterlands, it may be petty but to those 'n the capitals front trenches life under national defense is far from dull.

Hl - The 1second step will be educat- ing tfea public through federal and state diet experts to eat proper foods. Recommended will be a daily diet chart similar to this: T. A pint of milk Ca quart for a growing child or expectant mother).
 8. One serving of leafy, green or yellow vegetables.
 B. One serving of tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit, or any raw fruit or vegetables,
 A. Two or more servings of potatoes. other vegetables or fruit.
 "5. One egg day. or at least three or four eggs a week.
 "6 One or more servings of lean meat, poultry, or fish.
 "7. At least two servings of whole grain cereal products, na- tural Ntamin enriched bread CT white bread reinforced with vita mins, as approved by the Public Health Service.
 "8. Fats and sweets as needed to satisfy the appetite.
 "9.a Water, six or more glasses of it.s'
 The men behind the campaign face four big hurdles.
 First, there is an apparent sur- plus of foods in the country to- day, although Surgeon General Parrans says there is a surplus only of wheat. He says we do not raise enough food to give every American the nine-course daily defense diet listed.
 Second. food habits. supersti- tions, and poverty must be faced and corrected. For instance, the average relief client spends only five cents a meal per person for food. Families with an income of $100 a month spend ten cents a meal, and that's not too much, if it is spent for the right foods.
 Third, the big milling compa- nies and bakeries must try to give the public what it wants or face dwindling sales and eventual bank ruptcy.
 And finally, the wants of the public oftentimes do not coincide with what the public needs.

two new types of bread-a white bread fortified with pep-produc- ing vitamin B-l and other essen- tial elements, and a yellowish, nutty favored bread naturally containing these substances. Sci entists say the natural bread probably will be better for you.
 Agriculture department surveys show that the American table is peculiarly deficient in the various parts of the vitamin B complex, thianin, nicotinic acid, and ribo- flavin. Also there is serious de- ficiency in iron Since bread is basic part of our diet. and since milling long has robbed bread of its vitamin B, the campaign starts with the staff of life.

AT the Riviera

Monographs orphans of the
North" begins a first run en-
gagement today.
Based on the romantic story of
one of the most famous of Alas
kan sourdoughs. the feature was
produced entirely in Alaska, with
an ail-native cast.
To insure authenticity, producer
Norman Dawn spent nine months
in the awe-inspiring trackless
wilds Of the Taku river country
where the famed prospector spent
most of his life. Thousands Of feet
of film were exposed recording the
everyday activities of the hardy
natives Of this frigid land of sud-
den death. The white settlers and
natives who enact the various in
cidents in the record, do so with a
sincerity devoid of any Hollywood
theatricals. In fact, many of the
scenes were shot without the
knowledge of the characters.
The producer has also invaded
the animal kingdom. Numerous
shots of the private lives of wild
creatures of the North are seen
throughout the film. Most hilarious

WASHINGTON - The n S u
bureau today offered some advice
to lovelorn girls.
Admitting that its figures
should be interesting to single
girls in search of adventure, travel
and husbands" the census bureau
reported that there were only
5.ss5 white women in the Panama
Canal Zone to 26,971 white men.
American Samoa, located in the
romantic" South Pacific, has a
white population of 300-only 100
are women, leaving an open field
for the girl who has yen for a
grass skirt courtship.
The ratio in Hawaii is 64,473
men to 39,31s women. And for
the girl who likes the frigid zones,
Alaska "offers decided attractions
with 25.595 white men compared
with 1888 white women"
The bureau noted that there was
a fairly equal division of the sexes
in the Virgin Islands. with male
white residents numbering 1,216 to
l,020 white women.
