Defense Study

CHTCAGO-(ANP)-The wide
spread defense training courses fol
engineers being given by the fed
eral government is touching very
few Negroes. Some $11,000,000 has
been appropriated for the colleges
which are giving these engineering
courses, known as refresher train
ing, and designed to bring up-to-
date men who have either finished i.
engineering schools or have had
certain experience in the field Of
engineering.
There are 81 engineering schools in
III states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico which are offering
in all 444 different courses. Each
course is designed to prepare q
group Of students with some tech
nical training and experience for
service with manufacturers or fed"
eral agencies engaged in the ma
tional defense program, in such
capacities as designers, inspectors
or supervisors OF production.
The program is being admins
tered by u. S. Commissioner OF
Education John w. Studebaker, as
sisted by pr. j. F.. Kelly OF the
U. S. office of Education and Dean
Roy A. Seaton of Kansas State col
lege.
Queried by AMP here recently, DR..
Kelly deplored the fact that more
Negroes were not being reached but
admitted that this was the case. He
said that evidently there were COM
paratively few Negro engineers.
In all congress has appropriated
$36, 100000 for national defense
training. This includes sums spent
through NYA, CCC and through
projects set up by various state
vocational educational departments.
Reports from the South indicate
that Negroes are getting but limited
opportunities through these funds
although DR. Studebaker has sent
out a bulletin specifically charging
that Negroes are to be included.
In Alabama enrlleeS at four Me-
gro CCC camps are receiving some
training. None of the Negro colleges
thus far has been included. There
is one NYA center located in Birm-
ingham which is doing defense train
ing. The few Negro students are
said to be engaged chiefly in jani-
torial work or in such unskilled
tasks as removing tires and polish
ing autos.
In Chattanooga, the Chattanooga
Vocational school recently sent
notice to newspapers and to the
Tennessee state employment service
asking for 20 colored men between
the ages of Is and 25. These mer
were wanted for a course designat'
ed as defense course in auto
mobile servicing."
Harvey S. Bloker, manager OF the
employment service. said that ap'
plicants for the course must have
had an eight grade education ane
preferably high school training.
Mr.. Bloker said the course Woulc
include instruction in how Il
handle gasoline, grease jobs, battery
work and other types Of automobile
care Mr.. Bloker was careful tx
point out that no mechanical train
ing would be given. He said tht
course was listed as "a defense
course" to provide trained men fol

California has always played an
important part in the masculine
fashion picture, and this year it's
more dominant than ever. To
give you a touch of background
let's 90 back to the Philadelphia
Centennial in 1876, when European
visitors bought and took back the
1o-gallon stetson hat as typical of
this country. Soon after the first
World War a Los Angeles shirt
manufacturer put out a snappy
collar-attached work shirt, the first
of It's kind. Out of the West came
the wrap-around overcoat, too.
In later years we've had the
fancy back sports jacket, gaucho
shirt, perforated shoes and slack
suit. This years favorite is the
loafer jacket. And there's more to
come.

Much has been written lately
about the effect of fear on the body.
Our glandular system, our respira-
ton, circulation, and digestion all
feel the impact of being afraid.
In this day, when fear is a mon
ster raiding the universal spirit of
man, it is particularly impol tant
to consider the battle of fear versus
health and happiness.
Naturally, intelligent, reasoning
fear is valuable. This brand of be-
ing afraid is causing America to
rearm. is forcing thousands of folks
to stick to their health rules. aud
is influencing women to take their
figure -molding exercises seriously.
However, most of us are haunted
by dozens of small, futile fears. We
are afraid that people won't like US,
we dread trying new things. we are
afraid to learn to swim, to dive, to
fly, or to start business of our own.
We are timid, jealous, and self
conscious. We worry about business
and dread the age of 40.
These small demonstra tions OF
fear put the brakes on living. They
take the sheen off personality, rob
life of its adventure, put lines in the
face and poison in the body.
1t is difficult to Danish fear from
our lives. We must begin by being
satisfied with small triumphs over
this negative emotion. Every time
We face and conquer some situation
which has caused US to be afraid
we have progressed just so far on
the road toward mental and spirit
ual freedom.
1t doesn't matter what it is that
gives ones ego and self-respect this
boost. 1t may be learning to swim
or meeting the new in-laws. 1t is
entirely possible that learning 10
dive may bring woman the same
feeling of eXhilaration and salts
faction that a warranted fist fight
with the bully next door gives a
man.
The important thing is to clear
the spiritual atmosphere of the
mists of inertia and negative emo
tions. To do this, we must conquer
our small fears, one at time.
1t is surprising how many women
are afraid to dive, even though they
swim we'll. No activity in the world
of sport is better adapted to woman,
nor more pleasant. Don't let a
foolish fear rob you of this fun.
If you are afraid to dive, do this:
First, learn to hold your breath
while you submerge your head
under water. Next, kneel on the
edge of the pool on one knee with
the toes of the foot curled over the
edge of the pool or low boat, which,
ever it may be- Lean far over to-
ward the water, arms raised over
the head, one arm by each ear.
Bend the head down toward the
water and fall in, giving a little
push with the toes, but fall. If you
lift your head you will hit fiat. If
you remember just one thing, keep
the head down. you will not hit fat.
Here come the next two steps:

Seeing Ourselves mpersona Might Help Us Correct Many Mstak

Prettiest Jackets

COnVaIeScence
By Leftice Lee Street,

Young Mrs. Average American
Mother is receiving visitors in the
hospital her baby is a bright-eyed
bundle all of 6 days old! Sitting
up in bed she looks as fresh and
pretty as a peach, rested and smil-
ing, as most mothers are after their
babies have arrived. Her hair is
smoothly combed and curled, her
makeup daintily applied and her
fingernails never looked more per-
feet because she amuses herself by
manicuring them. She is wearing
a cool, flower -colored bed Jacket
and on the table by her side is a
bottle of toilet water with an ato-
mizer. She has obviously used it
because the room is filled with
faint fragrance.
But TO look as charming as she
does, Mrs. Average American Mother
had to do bit of planning before
she took that urgent trip to the
hospital
She arranged to have a shampoo
and wave as close as possible to the
date when she expected her baby
20 arrive, and as soon as she felt
strong enough she brushed her hair
twice a day in bed to remove the
lint from the pillowcase.
Hospitals supply night dresses, but
they are usually ugly. Take all of
your own nightgoWnS; you should
have at least six with you Wear
the prettiest ones in the daytime
and change into your least nice
nighties at night. You can wear a
nightgown for two days and one
night if you do this and always have
fresh one to wear while the others
are being laundered.
Nothing is more unattractive than
a convalescing woman who takes
no trouble with her appearance and
who allows her hair to straggle, her
nose to stay shiny and who wears a

Of course, We talk lot about our
selves and our children and our
automobiles, but that is because
they are so particularly interesting.
How Mortified we would be when
we saw the photograph of our own
conversation, which showed us to
be just the kind of bore that
every egotist is.
Suppose we could get a photo
graph of our marriages. Romance
dead. Love at its last gasp. Quar-
rels, recriminations, man and wife
fighting over trif1es. Wouldn't 1t
bring many a husband and wife to
their senses if they got snapshot
of their marriage and saw in it a
couple of quitters who had never
tried unselflshly to make their mar
riage a success or to do anything
to make each other happy?
Oh, be sure it would do us all
good if we could be photographed
every year and get a closeup of
ourselves as others see us.

look so unpleasant"
Righto, 1 thought, and then I
thought what a pity it is that we
can't have ourselves photographed
mentally and morally every now and
then, so we could see how we appear
to those about us. How many faults
and foibles it would enable us to
correct! How much easier it would
make us to live with!
Suppose we could get a photo
graph of our dispositions. OF course,
we know we are high-spirited and
sensitive and have a nervous tenn
perament. Or perhaps we are irri-
table or silent or r1norose or of a
pessimistic nature. But on the whole
We see ourselves as attractive and
lovable, with few blemishes that
are overshadowed by our super
abundant virtues.
Wouldn't we get the jar of our
lives if we got a photograph of our
dispositions and saw them as they
looked to other people? If we saw
that we were shrewish women whom
cNcly Ollc lcdl Gu dIlu III CdOCu, dIlu
grouchy men who we're killjoys who
made life almost intolerable for
their families and employees?
And suppose we could get pho
tograph of our habits. We see our
selves as pleasant and agreeable
companions whose society every one
must enjoy. OF course, We have our
own little individual ways and pecu-
liarities and We don't bother to OBJ
serve all the little foolish fads of
etiquette. Naturally We must have
just the things We like to eat, and
we resent anybody taking our own
particular chair that is the softest
and most comfortable one in the
house and has the best light for
reading.
Wouldn't it shock us if we got a
photograph of our characters and
saw that we we're nothing but mon
sters of selfishness, with no regard
for anybody else but ourselves and
that we had developed the man
ners of Doors?
Suppose we could get a photo
graph of our conversation. We
think of ourselves as spellbinders.

you take her flowers or a plant some
evening while you are there.
When you return home, you could
drop the mother a note of apprecia-
ton for her kindness to you while
you we're in the city, and perhaps
send her some small gift which you
know she'd like.
Dear Miss Caldwell and Mr.. Har-
rison: am planning to sail on a 12-
day cruise, and as this is my first
ocean voyage, I'd like some informa-
ton on tipping My plan is to tip
the stewardess, dining room stew
ard, deck steward and bath steward
ess $3.50 each. Is that about right?
Also, there will be a dancing in
structor on board, whose services
will be given free of charge Since
this is an advertisement for the
dancing school, 1 don't believe a tip
to him is called for. But how about
attendants at the swimming pool
and gymnasium? ELIZABETH B.
About 10 per cent of the cost
of your cruise ticket should be dis
tributed in tips. Both your room
steward and the stewardess (since
you are woman) should get about
$3.50. For a cruise of this length
SIS would be better for the dining
room steward. One dollar would be
enough for the bath stewardess
unless you use the pool a great deal,
in which case make it So Give
the deck steward 81 unless you take
great many meals on deck, in
which case make it 81 or $5.
Few people tip the gymnasium in
structor, but if you have used his
services a great deal he would ap-
preciate dollar or two. After trying
without. success) to beat the gym
instructor at table tennis throughout
five-day cruise we tipped him for
his patience in playing with us. He
was delighted and apparently sur
prised.
If you use the bar we think you'll
find it more convenient to pay for
drinks as you get them, including
the usual tip at that time. Other
wise you'll have fine time figuring
out which bar attendants to give
what when you receive a final bill.
We'd tip the dance instructor only
for very special service.
It the sums we've suggested don't
add up to about 10 per cent of the
cost OF your ticket increase or de-
crease them so that they approxi-
mate that figure. Tipping always
varies with the type of accommoda-
tions you have, the service you re-
quire and your own inclinations.
But you'll be safe following these
suggestions.

Alden Harrison

Dear Kay Caldwell and Alden
Harrison: I am going down to the
shore this summer to stay with my
parents in a section where I know
no one. I have no brothers or sis
ters. I would like to make a lot Of
friends. but don't know how to go
about it without being too casual
and meeting the wrong type. Can
you give me some advice?
SHIRLEY R.
If you are swimming and enjoying
the other sports at the resort, you'll
probably find little difficulty in get
ting acquainted. There will un-
doubtedly be other young people
in situations similar to yours, and
they will be just as anxious to make
the right kind of friends as you are.
Usually such resorts are rather
informal, and acquaintance are
made more casually than in town.
Show by your attitude that you are
ready to be friendly, without max
ing the mistake of pushing" At
first you'll have to accept almost
every one at face value. but don't
carry any acquaintance too far until
you have a chance to "size up the
other person.
By being interested in sports and
the other affairs of the summer COL
lony, aim at making a lot of speak
ing" acquaintance to begin with,
but be more choosy about develop
ing your more intimate summer
friendships.
Dear Friends: Last summer at
church camp met girl with whom
l have corresponded for a year. Now
I'm going to visit in the city where
she lives, and expect to be with
her most of the time.
Should I take her a gift, and
should I take her mother a gift? I
have never met her family.
BILL w.
1t would be nice to take the girl
a gift, but don't make it too ex-
pensive or too personal" at this
stage of the game. Rather than ar

you've never met, we'd suggest that
