The instinct to hoard" food may be natural. But 1t usually results In unjuctified price rises and artificial scarcity. American housewives to- day must guard against this ten- dency.
 The Advisory Committee. consist ing Of represeptati of 52 national retail trade organizations and the Consumer Commissioner of the National Defense Advisory Commis- sion, have developed a four-potnt program to check unjustified price jumps on food and other commodi- ties:
 1. Price reporting at the pre- retail level to detect unfair increases.
 9. Prevention of scarce" adver- tisdng and speculative buying by retailers and the public.
 3. Prompt information to the public about quality changes or suhstitutions in consumer goods.
 4. Publicizing the work done by government and retail buyers to prevent disruption Of production facilities for consumer commodi- ties. ,.,.

 She also finds time to drive her children everywhere they go. They wouldn't dream of walking a quar- ter of a mile on the incest day.
 If she really wanted to read, to know what is going on in the world in the way of thought as well as action-she could cut down on some of those activities and have some time for reading.
 Children don't have to wear hand- knit sweaters. One bridge game a week ought to satisfy any woman. Entertaining doesn't al- ways have to be on the grand scale. A hostess who can talk intelligently is rarer creature by far than one who serves elaborate dinners. Children don't have to have a chauffeur at their beck and call. TIME FOR WHAT

 There's enough variety in the spring collections of New Yorks fashion designers to enable every woman to find clothes which are one hundred per cent certain to suit not cnly her taste but her type, her budget and her mode of living.
 There are sloping shoulders, to be sure. But there are many models with shoulders that do not slope at alL The later are right for the not so-slim-hipped and for the woman who just isn't happy in sloping shoulders.
 Evening dresses with wide, al- most knee-high bands of transpar- ent net at the hen1line are for girls with truly beautiful legs. The won1- an whose legs are just so-so should not even consider.
 It would be a mistake for the long .faced, thin-necked girl to in- sist upon wearing blouses with plunging necklines. There are quan- titles of nLw spring blouses with high necklines that will minimize the length of her face.

 A short. plump woman to try to wear the new giant cartwheels. (There are plenty of smart little hats for her.)
 The woman who can have only one new evening dress to get an extremely decollette, exotic model of sirenish, 1914 inspiration. (New variations of the ever-fiattering shirtwaister are what she might very well look at frst.)
 The girl whose shoe wardrobe Is quite small to buy bright colored or extremely high-styled shoes. (Plain pumps ir neutral colors, which may be worn with everything, are her forte.)

 The trade associations then com fer with the manufacturer, deter mine whether the increase is war ranted or unwarranted, and try to adjust the situation then and there. The associations hove re- ported that the cooperation of manufacturers generally is very satisfactory.
 SOME RISES JUSTIFIED
 However, housewives should real- ize that there may be justified but slight price increases in cerE tain foods, due to seasonal ana other normal causes. If you want to know if prices at your local shops are justified, read market reports in your newspaper and study regular reports on. food prices compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 Confer with friends and relatives in nearby towns and cities and learn from them whether the same price increases have taken place in their markets, or whether your own merr chants have just arbitrarily marked up prices. {"

 Tn this column the other day quoted the comment of 6 physician who reported case of arachnidism (poisoning by bite of black widow spider), to wit, that many unneces- sary operations could be avoided if all physicians recognized that an acute condition with rigidity, pain or craInp in belly, mild fever, leu kocytosis and perhaps nausea and vomiting may supervene as the re- suit of the bite of a black widow spider, even though the victim felt only a sharp prick from the spider bite and did not see a spider or know what caused the prick.
 Some such operations might be prevented if all physicians were more careful to take an accurate history at the first interview. For example, 1t would be unfortunate to remove the appendix in hurry and then to learn that until recent ly the patient was a carriage paint CT and his collie was actually lead collc

DON'T ASK FOR A GOOD TONIC
 One of the problems that the honest doctor has to contend with and the other kind brushes aside as affably as the credulous patient could please is the taking of the history. A clear and accurate ilis- tory, that is, the story of the ill., ness or complaint from It's beginning up to the present, is an indispen- sable preliminary to a correct diag- nosis and effective treatment, no
 matter what the patient may think about 1t. s
 Far too often, at least in my own experience, the patients insistence that all he needed was good tonic, something to build him up, has weakened my good intentions and given me an excuse to acquiese in that evasion and send the poor geek on his way fatuously clutching Q bottle of "tonic"-whatever that may be-for fear that if I were too insistent on getting an accurate history or on making @ proper ex- animation the patient would suspect I was trying to make serious case out of a minor condition, that is, If I exacted a fee for my service. It was that or give the blighter my time and service for nothing.
 It matters less nowadays than 1t seemed to long ago what your par- ents, uncles, aunts, grandparents had or died of. But 1t matters tre- mendously what your own past habits, occupants, environments, illnesses have been and just what the course of the present complaint has been-not so much what rem- edies or doctors you have tried but what symptoms or signs you have felt or noticed.
 It is curious how misleading many patients are in the first ir1- tervicw. The trouble then has been bothering the patient for @ month. A week later further questioning by the doctor elicits the admission that the patient has been trying this and that for six or eight
