at nearly breaks my heart to see
the poor dear making herself so

nights making over some rag, and

dance with him.

LAYING False Pride Does Not Get Woman Very Far This Day and Age
Careful
Eye on Food
Child Eats
He Requires Proper
Meals Which Are
Not Too Heavy
Bv Lefffce Lee Street,

BY Lefffce Lee Street,
The mother of young infant
keeps an anxious, wary eye on every
drop of milk, water and fruit juice
her baby drinks. She meticulously
measures his formula and trusts no
one but herself to concoct it or to
sterilize his bottles. His slightest
tummy upset is noted with alarm
and he is painstakingly guarded
against disease and digestive dis
turbances.
But sometimes when child grows
older the mother will relax her
vigilance, and looking proudly at
her apple-cheeked, husky 5-year-old
she thinks, He is big and healthy
enough to eat anything" This is
not true; he is still just little child
and his diet should be carefully
selected and balanced.
If you have succeeded so far In
raising baby who is blooming and
gaining steadily, you have done SO
because you have followed a wise
feeding schedule. Please do not
stop now. Continue this vitally i'm
portant care by making sure that
your young child eats plentifully of
fresh fruits. green vegetables, milk,
butter and eggs every single day.
There is never any excuse special
enough to warrant letting a child
eat any food that is not good for
him. This includes all parties,
Christmas, Thanksgiving and pic
MICS, too! Feast meals can be
planned TO include delicacies and
goodies that the children can safely
enjoy.
Parents should understand that
the small, delicate stomach of the
young child can not easily handle
heavy, highly seasoned dishes. The
other day saw a young father and
his little son, both eating hot dogs
and coffee, and the sight quite
spoiled my lunch! A diet such as
tlllo- IL pa dSl4CCu (OllSIdIllIN, lIlG

eat such inappropriate foods. can
ruin his digestion and prevent
proper growth.
Do not let your primary school
child indulge in fried foods, pies,
pastries. rich gravies or sauces. cof-
fee, tea. pepper, pickles. fancy
candies or sundaes, hot dogs. ham
burgers or any highly seasoned
foods.
During the primary school years
children are subject to many dis
agreeable childhood diseases. They
need correct foods to combat and
prevent them.
Youngsters this age are forever
climbing, running and using energy
and they must have the right fuel
to replace the energy they are con-
tinually burning up.
They also should have a full sup
ply of the vitamins and minerals
necessary to promote the rapid
growth that should keep you busy

Hint for GOurds

Gourds will grow 30 to 40 feet In
a season if properly cared for. They
like rich soil that has plenty Of
depth, so that the roots can go
down after water. They also like a
warm location and that means
plenty of sunshine.

backyard every day for month and
convert himself into a left-handed
gun-shooter. 1t seems that in dig
ging up information on the personal
habits and characteristics of the
nefarious Billy, an old photograph
turned up to show the desperate
drawing and firing with his left
hand.
For weeks, Taylor twiddled away
with the pistol IN his best southpaw
manner-which wasn't very good at
first, but improved with time and
diligent rehearsal. When the COM
pany was called together and the
first scene shot, Taylor was mighty
proud of his skill. He could yank
out his gun, spin it menacingly with
his foref1nger and then straighten
out and fire like all Old Harry.
Mr.. Hart Was Puzzled.
Taylor went right on with his left
handed killings and some mighty
fine melodrama was piling up in the
cans. Recalling that william S..
Hart, leading outdoor hero of silent
days, was a close student of Billy

Lillian Hellman Wins Seasons Honors

That Has Brought Broadway Many Hits

the box Offices, this has been one of
the best seasons in which Broadway
has basked in years.
My Sister Eileen" Mr.. and Mrs.
North" +" Claudia" Arsenic and Old

outstanding hits, and all bubbling
with laughter.
Ethel Barrymore returned TO give
one of the best performances of
her career as the kindly, under

a moving dramatization of Richard

Flight to the West" the first of
the Broadway hits, incidentally. to

But Miss Hellman has written in
watch on the Rhine" a play that
doesn't have to depend primarily
upon the interest aroused by dis
patches on the front pages of your
newspapers. Here she reduced the
complex international insanity into
the common denomination of a
single family, a single intelligent
and humane family.
Their Own Tactics.
Her Kurt Mueller, splendidly
played by Paul Lukas. is an intelli-
gent German engineer with a SEN
sitive heart and a warmth of feeling
for humanity. He faces a brilliant
career, but there is no place for
him in his corner of the world which
is dominated by the Nazis he dis
approves so much.
He knows his Nazi enemies must
be fought with their own ruthless
tactics, and SO he helps organize
the underground railroad" to set
up secret radio stations, smuggle
diplomatic documents across the
fast changing borders and otherwise
help fight for liberty.
DR.. Mueller is married to the
daughter of a deceased American
diplomat, and they flee with their
two young sons and daughter to
the refuge of his mother -in-laW'S

sees an opportunity for black

problem with the eXpediency of a
just liable murder.
s. Miss Hellman brings together
her, all the elements that could
on mix in such a berserk world
as hat of today-loyalty to ideas
in rough-and-tumble fight with
dicta ,orial expressions; warmth
and JOY of good living, such as de-
picted by mother-in-law Lucille
Watson in her Southern home, as
contrasted with the hunger and
emptiness of the life in present-day
Europe to which DR.. Mueller is
forced to feturn to save some of
his friends.
Hope and Hopelessness.
All this Miss Hellman, as a good
measure to her previous successes
in The Childrens Hour" and The
Little Foxes" assemblies in a play
that has both strength and dignity
and yet never goes overheard so
that the label of propaganda can
be applied. Watch on the Rhine"
is the very human and engrossing
story of the Mueller family, and
the Nazi and Democratic and other
political aspects are only back
grounds in which this family sur
wives or periShes.
The younger part of the family
looks forward to a new life and new
hope here in this democracy, but
their father is resigned to the fact
that he must go back to the hope
less fate which he has fed.
But, he gives a parting word of
advice to his children:
And I will keep my hope that
We may make a world where all
men can die in bed. I have great
hate for the violent; they are the
sick of the world the world is
out of shape, We said, when there
are hungry men. And until it gets
in shape, men will steal and lie and

is done, and whoever does tit is
all bad I want you to remember
that. Whoever does it. it is bad"

NEW 1OIh.
Since those first turbulent days of
1885 when the dictatorS began to
goosestep across Europe and Africa,
the Broadway theater has caught
now and then a glimpse of what has
been happening in Finland and
Ethiopia and Spain. Most Of such
plays were more noble in intent
than entertaining as theatrical fare.
Now. as the Broadway scene calls
for another spring curtain, this
department offers its laurel wreath
for the best drama of the season to
Watch on the Rhine" another hit
play from the pen of Lillian He'll
man and one about troubles in Eu-
rope. This is one Of top caliber.
In the past few seasons Broadway
has seen Robert E. Sherwoods
There Shall Be No Night" which
told of the onslaught of power on
tiny Finland; Clare Boothe's anti
Nazi play, Margin for Error;
Ernest Hemingway's drama of the
Loyalist Spanish forces, THE Fifth
Column; Maxwell Anderson's Key
Largo" drama of the return of
Florida volunteer from the Spanish
Loyalist Army. And there have been
at least a dozen or more other
Broadway dramas based on the wars
that started exploding in 1885.
It's Been a Good Season.
This particular season has been
one made bright with an unusual
number of hit plays and, in contrast
to the gloomy world conditions, most
of the hit plays, with the exception
of Watch on the Rhine and one
or two more, are comedies.
