sewing, ONCE work, millinery, weav-
ing, nursing, housekeeping, photog-
raphy, woodcarying. Let both boys
and girls select their courses under
the supervision and advice of the
trained experts.
If boy wants to cook and sew,
let him. He is experimenting and
should do so. II q girl wants to do
metal work don't stop her. She may
need the experience for the work
she Is TO do In the future.
Nobody knows what a child may
become. Our task is to SO set his
educational background SO that he
gets what he needs to develop his
latent powers. The short school
day, sit, listen, recite, q shop period
once a week, will not give him, or
her, what he needs. The program
must be changed to allow day by
day experiences, piled up expert
ences, that give strength to the
childs growth.
The senior high school boys and
girls are usually prepared for more
technical training, more direct
choice of vocations. If they have
been properly prepared in Junior
high school they can readily be
fitted to vocational and professional
courses that really count for some
thing.
The long school day, with real ex-
periences daily, would give our youth
a great lift, and the Nation would
be benefited proportionately.

| Why
|GrowOld?
By Josephine Loreman

In past years they gave us mo-
laSses and sulphur and saSSafras tea
to pull us out of the doldrums of
fatigue and lackluster, but now they
give us Yitamin Band what's more
1t seems to work.
This vitamin has seemed to have
q valuable effect in overcoming
certain forms of neuritis, beri-beri,
arthritis and nervousness.
However, the most interesting re-
suit of vitamin B intake is the pick
up in persons who by usual stand
ards were well people, but who were
not living at optimum health. Many
of the nagging symptoms of middle
age come from mild vitamin B de-
flciency. DR.. Henry Borsook tells us
that his studies indicate that the
thiamin (vitamin b requirement
for q high level of health is four to
five times the quantity needed to
prevent beri-beri.
Vitamin B is not one vitamin but
many. Today we are dealing with
vitamin B, but it has been found
that the most effective results are
secured when this vitamin is taken
in a form which provides the rest
of the vitamin B complex as well.
We are likely to be deficient in
vitamin B intake because this is
difficult to obtain In foods. A we'll
rounded diet containing milk, lean
meat, many fruits and vegetables
and whole-grain products will give
you about half the amount you
need for vibrant health. Fresh veg
etables and fruits are expensive and
so are vitamin concentrates. there
fore the suggestion of DR.. Borsook
as to where we can And a rich
source of this vitamin becomes ex-
tremely interesting to many.
This is the suggestion. If you
can obtain what millers call "the
scalp of the Sizings" or "middlings
plus germ" you can cook 1t as
cereal or In mufins and bread.
Vitamin B is not stored in the
body. therefore we must supply it
daily in our diet. Whole-wheat bread
instead of white, milk, meat, fruits
and vegetables, brewers yeast,
scalp of the sizings." whole grain
peanut butter and wheat germ will
build up the vitamin B In the diet.

Drip Coffee Trouble
Often Comes From
Full COntainer

Now comes that coffee question
again. A reader writes that she has
been having trouble with her drip
coffee pot. She says. Breakfast
has to be q quick proposition with
us and lately have been having
trouble with the coffee which Just
won't drip through as quickly as it
should and as 1t used to. Can you
tell me what is the matter?"
There may be one of two reasons
or perhaps both are responsible for
drip coffee trouble. First of all the
coffee contsiner must not be too
full. Most pots are marked for the
quantities of coffee necessary for
various measurements of water.
Don't be too generous and get your
coffee above the top mark, as in this
case it will pack as it swells when
1t comes in contact with the water.
Then there is another reason.
The tiny pin holes in the top COM
partment through which the water
drips are sometimes stopped up,
especially If too much coffee has
been put in the container. When
the pot is washed, the bottom of the
top compartment should be scrubbd
with a brush or a wire cake tester
may be run through the holes If
there is actual stoppage.
Remember that alkaline powders
must not be used on metal pots, as
the alkali gradually eats into the
metal. This allows coffee oils to be
retained. Hot soapy water and a
good rinse of fresh hot water should
be used after each time q metal
coffee pot has been in operation.
OF course all coffee pots, whether
made of glass, china or enamel
should be treated in the same way.
A clean coffee pot is fully as i'm
portant as fresh coffee of a good
brand for successful making Of Amer
ica's favorite beverage. E. M. B.

Gowns Designed for

Even though there will be some

designer does the more bouffant
type of dress, as in a blue-gray
chiffon dinner gown with under
skirt paneled in soft tones, there is
feeling of slimness. Throughout,
the emphasis is on front fullness,
achieved with skillful pleats, with
front ties and soft shoulder and
bodice lines.
This understanding OF line and
detail permits Valentino to "glorify"
even such an old standby as the
shirtwaist dress, which she does
nicely in a country ensemble" of

fatigue. Corsets, we said, not the
"armor plate" of the last century.
Miss Gordon offers q few words of
advice on making the garments you
now own give all the wear possible.
Frequent washings In lukewarm
suds are important, for nothing
wears out q corset a. quickly as body
acids. In addition, any time you see
a worn or thin spot, have the gar
ment repaired before it gets beyond
help. Finally, corset wardrobe"
is ideal, not only because 1t fills
every need but because by changing
foundations they wear longer and
keep their--and the wearer's-shape
better.
Other authorities also assure US
that there is good supply of foun-
dations on hand-so don't stock up
for the duration" Remember that
you may change, and as your figure
alters, your foundation requirements
do, too. Your activities may change,
and you'll find that your present
supply Is not suited to your needs.
Finally, and well repeat it, the
garments themselves are certain
to change through redesigning,
through the adoption of new mate
rials and the shortage of present
ones.
To sum it up, buy what you need
and buy it Carefully. Be sure to
be well fitted in garment that does
exactly what you want it to do.
Consult q professional eorsetiere
who has studied fitting, styling and
adjusting. Don't attempt to stock
up on foundation garments for all
the reasons we've given you, but
plan a corset wardrobe" to
take care OF your activities through
out the day. And don't, above all,
worry that you're going to do with
out some support or that you'll
be forced to 60 back to those laced
up jobs a la Scarlet O'Hara. Our
active lives Just won't let US tear
around in cast iron corsets." Be-
sides, so many OF our modern beds
don't have bedposts that we'd
never get 'em laced up!

Lingle Mungo. right-handed pitcher
formerly with Brooklyn but now with
Minneapolis Of the American Asso-

Koslo. young lefthander. to Jersey

option.
Mungo, who joined the Dodgers in
1881 and was sent to Toronto at
the start of the 194l season, has
appeared in 81 games for the Millers
this campaign, winning 10 and drop
ping 3.
The fast-ball pitcher was pur-

best winner, was sidelined recently

Despite the loss OF Melton, the
club only this week displaced the
Cincinnati Reds. in third place.
Mungo had his best years with
Brooklyn during the mid -thirties,
leading the National League in num-
ber Of innings pitched in 1894, in

spring shortly after he had been
fined $500 and suspended on a
charge of being drunk and disor-
