in the category of training ships. The
Chilean battleship, Almirante LatorTe,
$4,000 tons, is of the vintage of 1918.
To bolster this line of battle-or per-
hapS better, to operate independently
there are only the three Argentine light
cruisers. new, the Almirante Brown, the
Veinticinco de Mayo and the La Argen-
tina. Altogether there are maybe a
dozen and half destroyers in good
working order and five submarines
under age and in shape.
In aviation the picture is still less
bright. Outside of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, which could. perhaps. put into
fight 300 planes, the rest of the anti
quated Capronis, Breguets. De Havillands
and Morane-S e-Saulniers with which most
of the Latin American countries were
saddled by not too scrupulous European
sellers after the last war are Just plain
junk.
Leaving aside the Caribbean basin,
which is strictly the province of the
American Navy, Brazil has two bases, at
Pernambuco and Rio de Janeiro Shore
installations at Pernambuco are far from
being capable of taking care of large
ships with speed. The Rio base, how
ever, is considered ample and up to date.
Argentina has naval base at Puerto
Belgrano. near Bahia Blanca. on the
Atlantic, with all the necessary equip
ment and dry docks, plus two smaller
bases and naval arsenals at Buenos
Aires and Rio Santiago, and submarine
depot at Mar del Plata.

Talcahuano. The latter is we'll equipped.
In the port OF Callao Peru has some

Mexico has potential bases at Mag

AS to financing military, naval and
aerial purchases for South American
forces. in the event present priorities did
not interfere, it is obvious the expense
would have to be borne by the United
States. The Southern nations are going
through a very trying financial period
and are in no position to make any COM
mitments abroad. They simply haven't
got the money.
With the problem thus stated it re-
solves itself into the proposition of arm

the unavoidable corollary of furnishing
the necessary local industrial support) in
exchange for Latin Americas cession or
lease of naval bases, or permission for
American ships to use them.
And that is strictly q political, o.

 Beauty in the very young de- pends On absolute cleanliness, @ fresh, carefully groomed look.
 It's a mistake for any high school girl to assume that, simply because she is young and glowing with health and vitality, she can get ny with clothes that aren't quite fresh, hair which isn't washed at least once a week, a dtngy neck or untidy flngernails.
 GIFTED POLISH IS SIN
 AGAINST GROOMING
 It's bad idea for the 16-year- old, or any other girl for that mat ter, to wear her long bob so long that it looks bushy and neglected A long bob can be charming, re- gardless of how widely upswept cultures are touted. But it isn't charming if it hangs all over the shoulders. And, even when it's just short enough, 1t isn't charming un- less it gleamS and shines as a re- suit of frequent brushing and weekly washing.
 The high school girl who really cares about her appearance takes a bath every day, of course. She uses a deodorant each morning or an anti-perspirant a couple of times a week. She cleans under meath her fingernails with an or ange stick. If she cannot manage to keep nail polish unchipped and uncracked, she gives 1t up alto gether and buffS her nails instead. Clipped polish is one of the worst sins against good grooming.
 LOOK PINK. WHITE
 AND BLOOMING
 Her sweaters and skirts are spot less. She can and will wash out a sweater in record time. She polishes her saddle oxfords often enough to keep them neat and shining. She doesn't let soiled handkerchiefs, bits of gum wrappings, stray notes and such accumulate in the pockets of her coat.
 In addition, she remembers not to apply layers of fresh makeup over stale. She washes her face thoroughly at noon and puts on a new coat of cosmetics. She does the same immediately after school closes for the day. You don't catch HER looking faintly grayish across the forehead and chin instead of pink and white and blooming.

Modern Menus
Dry Skim Milk Is Economical, Easy to Prepare

skim milk, providing protein, call cium, and other minerals, with sugar and vitamins B and G. In the preparation of dry skim milk, only the fat, vitanlin A, and water are removed from the whole milk.
 Dry skim milk can be kept with out refrigeration for several weeks if kept in tightly covered con- tainer. If exposed to the air, how ever, it absorbs moisture, becomes lumpy, and changes flavor.
 To prepare fluid milk with the powder, measure cold or warm wa- ter into a bowl, sprinkle powder over the surface, and beat until pow der disSolves. Do not use boiling water.
 SPOON BREAD
 One cup dry skim milk, 1 cup cup cold water, cups boiling water 2 eggs, beaten; 3 tablespoons fat, melted.
 Mix the meal, dry skim milk, and salt thoroughly. Combine with 1 cup of cold water and stir until smooth. Add 2 cups of boiling water, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Blend a small amount with the beaten eggs. Combine all the ingredients. Pour into a well greased hot pan or baking dish and bake for AS to 50 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F). Serve from the pan in which it was baked.
 DROP BISCUITS
 Four and one-half tablespoons dry skim milk, cups sifted flour, 3-4 teaspoon salt, 3 teaspoons bak- ing powder, 4 tablespoons fat, about 3-4 cup of water to make very soft dough.
 Sift the flour, dry skim milk, salt, and baking powder together. Cut in the fat. Add the water slowly, stirring from the center until soft doubh is formed. Drop from a spoon onto a greased bak- ing sheet, and bake in hot oven (450 degrees FD for about IS min- utes.
 To add nutrients at low cost to your menus, combine white sauce made with dry skim milk with vegetables, fish or chicken. Vary your seasoning to taste.
 WHITE SAUCE
 For white sauce for creamed meat or scalloped vegetables use 2 table spoons of fat ? tablespoons of flour, IA to i-S cup of dry skim milk to each cup of water, and 1 4 teaspoon Of salt. Heat and stir constantly until thickened.

Starving" Only Makes You Ill
 Poor Mrs. Portly! Carrying all that weight around, no wonder shopping exhausts her. But when she tries to "starve of" a pound or two, she's weaker tan ever.
 So easily Mrs. Portly could reduce by just cutting calorieS. That's the comfortable, modern way of taking of weight. You don't ask, How large portion?" You ask How many calorieS?"
 For instance, nourishing broiled liver and 2 strips of bacon have only 250 calories But would you add lots of gravy to your two Ham, burg cakesP Don't! That's 482 cal- orieS.
 And look at desserts. A dish of Brown Betty has 500 calories, while two delicious molasses cookies con- tain only 66. Sponge cake? Only 100 calories slice. But piece of chocolate fudge cake has 400l
 No wonder you can gain so quickly, for every 4.000 calorles you don't use means another pound of fatl But luckily you can slip weight off just as quickly by going on a diet that gives, for while fewer cal- ories than normal.
 Be youthfully slender, radiantly tireless againl Our 32-page booklet gives 42 tasty low-ealory menus based on healthful protective foods. Includes calory chart, low-prlccd recipes. Tells how to gath.

HAZARD OF THE DIABETTC
 DRIVER

HAZARD OF THE DIABETIC
 The article written by Dr. William Brady and published in your paper, stating that diabetic driver is a menace on the road when driving a car is simply ridiculous, writes "A Reader" anonymously. A hit and run reader, perhaps. I have asked three outstanding specialists in this field about driving a car (continues Hit and Run) and all three gave the same opinion that 8 person who knows he has diabetes and is under treatment and care of a physician is just as well physically as anyone else, and is able to do what every person mentally and physically fit can do. An individual taking i1- sulin knows when he is taking too much or too little, better than a person who takes a drink and drives a car. If Dr. w. Brady writes an article for public consumption he should know the subject thoroughly before he passes an opinion.
 Evidently Hit and Run did not see the article published in this col- umll April 1, l940, describing the cratic driving of a man who man. aged to collide with several cars which were standing waiting for a go signal and because he seemed dazed and unable to. understand what the police officer was saying, was arrested as an intoxicated driver. It was brought out in court that the man was not intoxicated, but had merely suffered hypo- glycemia seizure (insulin shock) on his way home from the office of his doctor who had just admins tered the dose of insulin-the doc tor testified that owing to rapid improvement in the patients con-

BODICE FLATTERY IN DAINTY STYLE
PATTERN 2ss

Here is provocative little frock that gives gay "yes" to every Springtime invitation. Pattern 299 by Claire Tilden is brimful of fem mine wiles and unexpected touches, and IS cleverly designed to make you willowy as flower stalk. A buttnoning or a zipper front seam to far below the waistline for smart effect and to make dressing quick and easy. There's unusual bodice fiattery in soft curving side sections, gathered at the shoulders and waist. And two long front panels give nice, slenderizing lines. Isn't the collar young and bewitching? See how charming they look framed in ruffles, with more ruffling used around the pointed half-cuffs. If you prefer to have this style in cot- ton for at-home or garden wear, try vivid ric-rac edging at the cuffs, revers, and perhaps even at the front skirt seams. and add smart button trim. However you decide to treat this dress, you'll find 1t a siln- pie poy both to sew and wear-order 1t NOWi

 I'll be glad to refer Hit and Runs three outstanding specialists to the original report of the case, on re- quest of any one of them, and I would remind Hit and Run that sometimes 8 specialist stands out so far he can't see just what is go- ing on in the dull medical world so far behind him.
 Here I repeat the unqualified as- sertion that in fairness and justice to every one concerned, including the diabetic, no one who has dia- betes, whether under medical care or not, should be permitted in any circumstance to drive an automo- bile.

sMcKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
'wer, Springs Surprise
 BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

To champion, the winning of another trophy, while gratifying, may not be very thrilling, but I know one winner in the recent na- tional tournament at Philadelphia who is probably the most thrilled man in the country. That is Worry J. Click of Cleveland, one of the new open team-o m-of-four champions. This is his first national victory.
 Merry is inclined to fool around and try to out-maneuver his oppo- nents in the bidding. Here is a little bit of strategy he managed well to help his team win one of the hands in the recent nationals.
 Clicks spade bid was psychic made with the idea of blocking a possible spade bid by the opponents. He intended to go to three or four hearts and wanted to avert pos sible save" in spades. He tossed in the bid of two no trump to further camouf1age, confident that he would have a chance to run out in hearts. But when South bid diamonds, the no trump contract looked very in- viting, so Click stuck by it. West, having both spades and diamonds stopped, and knowing that North could have only one club stopper, doubled with glee.
 The third round of clubs knocked out the queen and West expected to win four clubs, diamond and perhaps a spade. It was terrible blow when Click rattled of his concealed heart suit and gathered 10 tricks.

them apart from our everyday, machne-made dresses. We wore them on blazing hot summer days, to church and afternoon bridge parties and club meetings.
 You won't see very many of them, not more than a couple in each collection, because their hand work puts them in a price bracket that's high for cotto ncresses. But If you can take time of from knit ting, you might consider making one for yourself, for your very spe- cial summer day dress. Hemstitch- ing, embroidery, designs in braid, cut-work- of these will make your French" dress.
 MAKES PLAIN
 DRESS PRETTY
 A vine-leaf embroidery of white on blue and blue on white gives an unusual touch to the linen bib frock worn by Cobina Wright, IT, a frock that would be pretty, but too plain without this handwork. In another model by the same de- signer, Marjorie, there's no bib front but just a deep, wide white shoulder yoke set onto the linen with the vine leaves.
 Another variation that I've seen is a harlequin dress one side white, the other dark color = with it's vertical, front and back seams joined with the leaf embroidery.
 The frock worn by Ida LGpino is from Pouella Ballerino, who uses 8 lot of embroidery on her designs, though usually in peasant banding or wool flowers. This one, of sun yellow linen with a front panel of white, has graduated squares of yell low inset on the bodice. They're outlined in very narrow white braid, and the designs in the titles" or squares are flowers made of the coiled and stiched-down braid. A narrow white kid belt and white linen under-cuffs are light touches. EMBROIDERY USED
 FOR MORE THAN TRIM
 Soutache braid is a handtrim that RKO,s designer, Renee, likes for number of outfits. She has almost covered a white linen blouse, topper to linen slacks, with scroll work of navy blue braid, and uses magenta braid mazes on the tight cuffs and collar of a fuQ-Sleeved olive green silk frock.
 More and more eyelet-Dunched and flower-shower embroidery is being used for entire summer dresses, not just for lingerie trims. In the expensive cotton fabrics, there are some Mexican imports of thin, soft cottons, hem-stitched and with drawn-work bands done in bright blues and reds. But if these are too bright, your French" dress needn't be more elaborate than a white handkerchief linen with Venetian-blind tucks from top to hem.

QUESTIONS $ ANSWERS
AIbuHninuria.

IS dIDumuuIla uduScIOuSg OOtS any one ever recover from 1t? Mrs. T. w. L.)
 Ans.-Any one may have albu- minuria after a hard game or dur ing a comparatively slight illness or while on the feet but not while re- cumbent. Foolish to try to inter- pret such a sign yourself. It should be left to your physicians consider ation.
 Arsenic
 Two doctors said have arsenic in my system, but they knew no way to excrete the arsenic. I saw in your column where sodium thio- sulfate is used for arsenic poison ing, so took 1t as you suggested, for about two weeks. Received plenty of benefit, even the doctor was surprised by the gain I made since he saw me. Should I take it more than two weeks? c: HJ Y
 Ans.-Five grains three times 8 day, or ten grains once or twice day, taken dissolved in water, sweetened and favored with fruit juice, for two or three weeks at a time, then rest 8 week, then another course of thiosulfate, and so on, as long as improvement occurs. This has seemed to bring considerable re- lief in many cases of chronic ar- senic poisoning (most of which oc- cur from eating fruit and green vegetables heavily sprayed with arsenic insecticides). Some cases of Raynaud's disease-"dead fling CTS" - may be responsive to such treatment. Many cases of eczema show marked improvement.
 Eat and Walk.
 How soon after eating can one take bath or exercise? (ME.G0
 Ans.-If one is a doddering old geezer a walk or similar mild exer- else right after eating is advisable no dozing after meal. If one is youth reasonably fit physically a swim or any game not requiring violent effort is all right. If one Is frail, perhaps rest of an hour or two after eating is best.
 When Does Anility Begin?
 I am fl, unmarried, youthful ill appearance and health. I exercise for ten minutes daily. Can con- tinue this indefinitely or should l stop at certain age? CMiss R.T.Ao
 Ans.-Well, it might be wise to moderate your schedule when you reach eighty What difference how many years? The chronological age has little to do with youth or abil- ity. Send twenty-five cents in coin and stamped envelope bearing your address, for booklet "The Seven Keys to Vite.'
