VIE, THE WOMEN
Today's Demands On Women Bring Mothers New Problems
 h Educating Their Daughters

ing again about your daughters education. She is learning the things you wanted her to learn, but how would she fare If her own country at some future time drafted her into an essential industry?
 Has she been well-enough dis ciplined at home and at school so that she could take that kind of assignment in her stride !?
 Is she strong enough physically to stand a job as a porter at a railway freight yard, as a cobbler as a cabinetmaker, as a mason, as a machinist? British girls are being drafted into all such jobs as these. NO ONE CAN TAKE
 HOMEMAKERS PLACE
 It isn't easy, trying to prepare a girl for the world today. For the world is asking an awful lot of women, more even than 1t Is asking of men.
 When the army drafts a soldier, 1t can put woman in his place. But there is no one to take over woman's traditional job when she is drafted into industry. She must take on any new job that is as- signed her, while continuing to hold down the job of homemaking.
 And she dares not let the mans job she has taken over toughen her flor she must keep her femininity
 Tn modern war, mothers must think of their daughters as we'll as their sons. For today one Is as nec- essary to a country's defense as an- other,

Latest thrill in twosome card games, favorite of Hollywood stars is "Gin Rummy"l Play it on next date if you'd have him say When can I see you again?"
 You learn it quickly. The dealer deals 10 cards apiece, one at . time. The next card is left face up beside the deck, face down.
 Now you try to draw cards that give you sequences of three or more in a suit or three or four of a kind. You may take a face-up card or draw from the deck. Tn either case discard one on the face-up pile.
 As soon as you have unmatched cards adding to 10 or less you may call down." showing your cards. (Face cards are 10 each, others are counted by their number valueo
 Your opponent then plays all the cards he can on your sequences and the difference between your un- matched cards and his remaining ones tells which one won the deal. First to score 100 is the big winner!
 For complete scoring rules for "Gin Rummy" see our 32-page booklet. Has dozens of clever games for two, three or more-card games, stunts, brain-teasers, nonsense gags, puzzlers. f4.

Gloriying Yourself
" Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The woman who intends to be poised and gracious as well as beau- tifully dressed on Easter morning spends even more time buying new spring shoes than she does on buying a hat or any other accessory. She knows that unless her feet are as comfortable as they are trinaly smarS her entire appearance will suffer. Nothing puts strained look about the mouth more quickly than pinched or otherwise uncomfort- able feet
 If she decides to buy simple pumps (just as right with suits as with silk dresses and coats), she shops until she finds a pair which won't cut into her instep. Unless she can find shoes which do not slip up and down on her heels when she walks, she has special pads pasted inside, around the back, of each shoe. These eliminate all danger of blisterS.
 Most importantly, she insists upon being properly fitted. She stands while the salesman measures her feet. No matter how much she likes them, she refuses to buy shoes which seem even slightly too snug. She buys shoes with medium height heels for walking and for general wear in the office, get ting extremely high-heeled types for dressier wear only. She has long since given up the notion that only high heels make ankles look trim and slender. She knows that 1t is not difficult to find me- diun and even flat-heeled shoes that are really chic and ankle-flat- tering.
 Unless she can have more than one pair of spring street shoes, she does not get an open-heeled and toeless style. She knows that open toes and heels look silly on rainy days and, that there are bound to be rainy days throughout the spring. As Q matter of fact, if the budget allows for only one pair of shoes, plain pumps are the wisest choice. And they ought to be in a dark, neutral color which will go with everything. Red or green shoes pretty as they are = are for those who have fairly elaborate shoe ward- robes.

IT ISN'T THE SPIT, IT'S THE
 SPRAY ss,

A feminine reader writes:
 Evidently you are not street. car rider and do not stand on cor. ners waiting for car or bus. among the crowds. The conversational spray you tell about may be bad, but expectoration is worse, especial ly in dry weather when splitting on the pavement becomes g serious matter. The sputurn soon dries and blows about as dust, and I am sure I need not tell you what that means. What worries me is that many. of these people who eXpectorate With utter contempt for law or health board regulation or the welfare of those about them apparently suffer with lung trouble, catarrhal troubles and other communicable conditions. I believe if these people who spit on the street without restraint could be taught to keep their ailments to themselves or else to keep away a good many less believers in tch- ing cold" from dalnpiness, drafts, from other people, there would be wet feet and change Of weather. What is your opinion? (M. L2
 My opinion is that little if any in- lection can be traced to that source. By the time sputum dries enough to blow about as dust any disease germs in 1t are unlikely to retain any virulence if they have survived at all. Disease germs cannot stand exposure to dryness, sunlight or cold more than a few degrees be- low the temperature of the body. When they are so exposed they quickly lose virulence.
 But persons who expectorate on the street are a menace to anyone who happens to be within their range. Such persons are likely to cough or sneeze without Q thought of covering nose and mouth to pre- vent spraying others near them. And of course their conversational spray may carry directly to the mouth of any one within range (three to five feet) samples of the germs which cause their tubercu- losis, sinusitis, sore throat, fiu or WnateVeT 1C may Uc, a1to SuSAa eSA4An are still virulent and capable of causing the disease in any suscepti- ble individual.
 It isn't the spit, but the spray, one must try to avoid. f
