Of popular forums at the First
Baptist church was conducted
Monday night Speakers were

Prof. Drummond compared the
difference in the government en-
couraged but free art in America
with the augmentation and single
ness Of theme in the totalitarian
countries like Germany. In the
last few years. said he. America
has developed a new attitude to-
ward art. Once a luxury to be
enjoyed only by the wealthy. art
has now become a part Of every
day living and is something To be
generally appreciated. The influ-
enee toward this trend he found
to be the government encourage
ment for art study in connection
with the recovery program.
Miss Meredith discussed the
progress being made In the
correction of speech and the
advantages thereby gained.
Ninety per cent Of the case.
of defective speech can he cor
rected, II was pointed out. The
cost, said Miss Meredith. Is
infinitesimal compared 10 the
expense of caring for blind or
crippled. Defective speech fire.
quently proves as serious
handicap as a physical defect.
In the field of music Prof. koker
expressed the thought that the
growing generation is going to
create a new music program in
America. Work in the public
schools and in the colleges is
creating in the young minds a de-
sire for good music which requires
some thinking 70 appreciate. He
expressed regret that the older
generation was too much incline.
to take its music lazily and could
not be bothered with that which
required much thinking. The
younger generation is growing up
to know its music and desires the
best.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De.
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

American and DelaWarean diets
need much improving. Govern
ment studies show that one third
of United States citizens are living
on diets dangerously low in essen
tial nutrients. Unfortunately, Del
aware is no exception to other
states as far as poor eating habits
are concerned. We, too, need to
look to the inadequate food which
many of our families are habitu-
ally consuming. Poor diets can
not produce a strong state or ma
ton.
Public health nurses in rural
Delaware have been studying the
diets of the pregnant women whom
they have visited. They have col
lected 166 sample days diets of 166
women, and from these we can
get some idea of the food habits of
these women and their families.
According to recognized stand
ards each of these women should
have had in one day one quart of
milk, one egg, one leafy vegetable,
one raw vegetable, one serving of
whole grain bread or cereal, one
serving of fruit, one serving of
meat. fish, fowl or cheese, and one

Troop Library

Patrols ga of the Smyrna Girl
Scouts are beginning a new project
for the benefit of the troop, a
Troop Library. They have many
fine books, some of which were do
mated by residents of Smyrna. The
Troop Committee appropriated $40
for books needed as references for
troop activities. They also gave
money for a desk and book case
which is being built by the Man
ual Training Department of Smyr-
ma School. The Girl Scouts visited
the State Library and arranged a
bookshelf under the supervision of
Mrs. Hammond and then visited
Smyrna Library and arranged an
other book shelf with the help of
Miss Denney. Some of the books
the troop now have are Song
Birds Of America, Girl Scout Hand
books, Woodcraft and Girl Scout
Manuals. Books we found at the
library are "Metalcraft," ''Weav-
ing for the Amateur" Audubon's
America, Botany for Amateurs"
and Songs America Sings" $50.

ON HOME HEATING
Drafts and Chinlneys
by JOHN BARCLAY. Healing Expert IA

DRoPER draft is a necessity in
i burning any kind of fuel. A
draft is commonly defined as air
in motion. This action goes on
twenty-four hours a day and it's
proper control is most inpor-
tant if you want to heat your
home economically and eff
GENTLY.
All draft is controlled by
means of hampers. When we
want heat upstairs, we close
the check damper and open the
ashpit damper, making the air
pass through the fuel bed. When
we have sufficient heat, we close
the ashpit damper and open the
check damper, the draft then by
passing the fuel bed, entering
the chimney directly.
Many faulty drafts are caused
by chimney troubles. Here are
a few Of the more common
variety:
1. Chimney too narrow or too low
in height. At times a decorative arch
across the chimney prevents .he fire
frcm getting the proper draft
2. Dirt accumulation. broken bricks,
tile, or pieces CT mortar il the Chin
ney will cut down the draft.
z. Cracks in chimney will reduce
draft action.

serving of potatoes. There was
no diet which met all of these re-
quirements. A few diets did not
contain even one of these desire
able foods.
Diets Low In Dark Cereal Vege-
table, MILK and Eggs
OF these 1856 women, Ill had no
dark cereal or bread. Oatmeal and
other dark cereals are as cheap as
any food you can buy, yet few
were using these cereals.
There were 1O8 with no leafy
vegetables and 43 with no pota-
toes. None of these kinds of veg
etables are necessarily expensive.
There are many wild greens in Del
aware; cabbage, carrots and tur-
nips are all reasonable and are all
good to eat raw and in salads;
there are few foods as cheap as
potatoes.
Sixty-two of these women had
no milk at all to drink or no foods
rich in milk to eat. Unless milk,
the only dependable source of cal
cium, is provided in some form the
growing baby will draw his supply
from his mothers bones.
Eighty-nine of these women had
no egg. If the mothers diet is
low in iron, of which eggs are a
rich source, the baby will be born
