other who have to deal with the problem blame the war for the evl- dent lossening of the moral codes Of the very young. They say the kids have an idea nothing they do is very important one wa or the other.
 Well, this looks like a job that women can handle. And the had better get busy.
 THEY NEED TO
 FEEL NECESSARY
 The first thing they should do Is work out more plans whereby young kids can be given respon- sible jobs where they can see that they are doing something to help win the war. They need to feel necessary.
 They have limitless energy and enthusiasm - and 1t could be put to work. In fact they could do many of the volunteer jobs that busy housewives are trying to do now.
 And, since domestic help IS scarce, they should be encouraged to do more work around their neighborhoods. They'll work If 1t means they can earn some money of their own. Every community ought to have some kind of an ex- change where they can find work to do.
 And their evenings should be taken care of by planned parties. It isn't foolsih to see that young folks get to dance and have fun in wartime. They can't just skip over their youth because there is war. They have to have excite ment. They can't be expected to just sit around doing nothing un- til the war is over, or they are old enough to be swept into 1t.
 In every community women should get busy on the problem Of keeping young folks working in the daytime and providing them with something to do at night.
 It isn't much fun to be "too young" in wartime. But 1t could be made less dreary than 1t is.

There's fine beauty aid wait mg for you in your icc-box.
 A beauty expert who specializes in correcting excessively dry and excessively oily complexion con- ditions in mature clients suggests the regular use of ice at home.
 Soft skin is very fine indeed, but soft muscles underneath is are just a beauty handicap. Ice tends to prevent premature sagging, and to revive temporarily, by con- tracting, tissues which do gag. Therefore good icing is an excel lent finishing off for your home beauty treatment which begins with cleansing and includes massage.
 It would be good idea for wom- an on budget to get at least one professional facial from an opera tor who is willing to teach her, as she goes along, the proper steps for home treatments.

 Q. We had some lovely peonies, but as soon as the buds appeared they seemed to be covered by ants. Do ants reall ham the buds?
 A. Ants do not injure peony buds, they merely feed on a sticky secretion around the bud, but cause no injury.
 c. How can I use fresh orange juice in sauce for plain cake2
 A. Blend together 17-3 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch and pinch of salt. Add 1 cup fresh orange juice and tablespoon of butter and cook for minutes in the top of a uOuDlc DOlIeT.

 A. Flowers cut from the garder should be "hardnede" for a few hours by placing them in water, in a coo place, away from direct rays of the sun. Keep in a cool place at night also. Keep supplied with fresh wa ter and recut the stems every day Flower arrangement is a fine art and appears best in proper setting Make the arrangement for the par ticular place in the room. Proper balance is important. Avoid tall vases and long stemmed flowers above the eye level; they will appear top-heavy. Use coIors that combine well, both with themselves and with the background.

Let one kind of flower dominate the ar- raneement. Place the larger blooms near the base or toward the center with the buds and partly opened flowers nearer the top. This gives balance to the composition. Usually dark colors look better near the base or in the center.

 And now, at breakfast Tuesday, even the papers were saying that Lincoln faced grave trouble indeed.

M SPEAK OF
SABOTAGE CHAPTER XVII

The news that Lincolns great charging center, 210-pound Heavy Underwood, had suffered two broken ribs in plane crackup on Monday morning, was enough to upset the whole city and half the state.
 The other half of the state, on the contrary, was elated. If Under wood was out of Thursdays game against State U., then State U. had a new cause to hope!
 "The gambling gents" quoth FL mer Summers in his Journal col tmn next morning, "are revising their bets all over town. Your scribe heard last midnight that an esti- mated hundred thousand - in ci- phers, 100, ,000-dollars had already been wagered that State U. would win. That's a right well-rounded sum, lousy as it is.
 The whole thing is lousy, the Journal and all decent people hold, because a stadium is supposed to be a place for amateur sports. not a casino for slinky-eyed denizens too lazy or too dishonest to work for a living. Especially should a game be clean when it involves aviation cadets. Gambling on them in this way is a contemptible form of war profiteering. It is the lowest essence of"
 Summers was wound up about it and he let go in vehement style. Toward the end he hung crepe.
 "T1le truth is" wrote he, Heavy Underworld absence will just about swing the balance. It was Heavy Rho, unsung, often made the holes Tor Norman Dana and Duane Ho- gan. Coach Millers two great backs.

 Blythe Miller read 1t Tuesday morning and almost cried, It was all too truel Yesterday afternoon she had stayed at the athletic field, in Pops office with Nancy until practice time. and she had tried desperately to be cheerful and gay, hoping 1t would be contagious. The players tried yaliantly, too.

Students Attend
Bay Path Formal

Miss Shirley H. Collins and
George Harlamon of this city were
members of a large reception COM
mittee which figured prominently
at the annual formal promenade Of
the Bay Path Institute of Com
merce in Springfield, Mass.
The promenade was held on Sat
urday evening in the Springfield
Municipal auditorium. AS it was
the first mid winter formal since
the school received its new charter,
members of the board of trustees
of the newly organized nonprofit
educational institution had a place
of honor. A large number of
alumni, many of them from Pitts
field, Hartford, and other New Eng
land towns and cities, as we'll as
Springfield, were also present at
this traditional function. Decora-
tons of palms and school banners
and remnants of maroon and gold,
added much to the effectiveness of
the setting. A reception preceded
the dancing.
The reception committee escorted
the guests through the receiving
line and formed the head sections
for the ir tricate grand march which
is always one of the outstanding
events of the prom.
Miss Collins is a member of the
Secretarial Science department OF
the institute, and is the daughter
