There is plenty of sugar available for spring jarn-making. Any ad- yances in refined and raw sugar prices would not be Justified, accord- ing to Harriet Elliott, consumer commissioner of the national de- fense advisory commission.
 We have been assured that enough ship tonnage will be avail able to move in from of-shore pro- ducing areas sufficient quantities to safeguard normal sugar consump- ton in this country" she reported recently.
 Stocks of sugar readily available to consumers in the United States remain larger than usual. Cuba has large surplus stocks of sugar cur- rently at hand, and there arc more than sufficient supplies available from off-shore areas to supplement domestic production. The importa- ton of sugar into the United States is regulated by c quota system. The secretary of agriculture has power to make larger supplies available to consumers by increasing the quota These supplies may be further in- creased If prices threaten to jump by the president.

 For those fortunate women who have been able to buy up a good stock of hosiery, the problem of preserving them is looming large on their horizon.
 Bottled" stockings seems to be the answer, according to experts. They are washed out in soapy water, dried naturally and drop ped into warmed jam jars which then are dramatically sealed. As jam jars cannot be used for jam (rationing of that commodity hav- ing been instituted, many women have tried out the bottled stock ing system.

 When a hairdresser designs hats to wear with his coiffures-or even vice yersa-the result is bound to be a shining example of what 1S meant by the modern rule: Hair and hats should complement each other.
 Several examples of what can happen when hair really does suit the hat were recently shown by Antoine, coifure expert who has turned milliner.
 Whether or not you liked all of the hats and all of the cultures didn't matter. What fnattered was that the hair-do's ard the bolliletS were meant for each other.
 CHANGING HAIR
 WITH HAT STYLES
 Antoine says that properly shaped and carefully permanented hair can be worn half 6 dozen ways, thus enabling any woman to change her hairstyle when she changes her hat as she usually ought to.
 He shows upswept cultures as well as both long and medium bobs, maintaining stoutly that @ coiHure like Q hat, is an individual matter and that no one hair-do possibly could be becoming to all women, any more than one type Of hat could be.
 There were several cultures with four or five thick vertical ringlets at the neckline-a nice relief from rows of vertical curls. For all 104l cultures, Antoine likes sleeknesS ct the sides of the head.
 There was not Q single trace of soft waviness at any temple or in front of an ear. Newest theme was the sleek line at the front and 6 subtle fiuffiness at the back.
 ANTOINE LIKES BANGS AND POMPADOURS
 Bangs by Antonne are softly waved aind essentially feminine. They were long and rolled under, with back hair upswept and sleek, when shown with c tiny, flower pot-shaped hat Of yellow milan, Sprouting blossoms all over the place. The hair under a high, Persian turban, made of tiers of black horsehair, was severely upswept ct front, ending at the back in two fat, vertical ringlets, caught together at the nape of the neck with Q clip. The coiffure to wear with square beret was brushed sleekly upward all the way around. And the hair was worn as severely under tinE white straw platter, garnished with pink and blue ribbons and worn with a matching ribbon scarf. . Antoine emphasizes that you should learn to arrange your 14ig few different ways, unless. you expect to wear the same hat ell day. every day. '

 Children should have at least one egg a day unless lean meat or fish is furnished. Liver, beans, peas and cottage cheese also may be used to furnish protein food. BUTTER IS RICH
 IN VITAMIN A
 A common cry of all children is-- Mama, may I have some bread and butter?" They not only may but should have 1t. Whole grain ce- reals and dark bread should form q liberal portion Of each days ra- tions. Butter is rich in vitamin A, so if margarine Is used it should be fortified with that yitamin.

 Certainly your child may have sweets but 1t Is better to give these in the form of simple des- Serts instead of concentrated sue gars. Candy and rich desserts should be given at the end of q meal and never should take the place os tho more essential foods.

Almost any one knows that your health is endangered if some one coughs or sneezes in your face.

The food dollar is the most irn- portant dollar the mother spends, because its wise expenditure spells health for the growing child,
 Here Is one way to spend that dollar:
 Twenty-Five cents for milk and milk products; 26 cents for fruit and vegetables: 10 cents for eggs, lean meat 0" fish; 20 cents for whole wheat ccrealg and dark bread, and 20 cents for fats and sugars. Tn addition, each child should have at least two teaspoons Of cod liver oil every day. This may have to be altered, depending upon the child'B age and current food prices.
 There is no substitute for milk. It is not only the first essential child food, but mothers get the greatest food value for the cost. Each child should get from pint and q half to quart of properly pf/|eurized or boiled milk each day.

paper about them, and so on.
 When the year or the season is up, the group IS supposed to know all about South America.
 Actually, all they know IS what they read for themselves in pre- pairing their own papers They yawn through everyone else's report, or look politely at the speaker while planning what to have for dinner.
 Yet If these same women made use of their own knowledge and talents, they could learn Q lot from each other and have Q worthwhile club.
 Mrs. Jones, who hasn't the power to make South American literature sound even mildly interesting, has the loveliest garden in town. For years she has read every garden ing article and book she could get her hands on.
 She could teach those other wo- men a great deal about gardening "a subject most of them are really interested in.

 Mrs. Brown, vflo had the cour- age to take up painting after she had reared her family, could talk so glowingly on the fun and real satisfaction she is getting out of her new interest that she might en- courage several more timid souls to try their hand at painting, too.
 The average club is made up of many capable, and some talented, women. But instead of being given Q chance to talk about a subject they know something about, they are usually asked to talk on soirle- thing about which they know prac- tically nothing.
 That's why women's clubs are often 50 dull.
