A major question for the COM
mlttee is whether to retain the S

added to the measure by the Senate.

The victory tax would become ef-
fective January l. would be withheld
from pay envelopes and salary
checks by employers and paid di-
rectly to the Government. In addi-
ton to the se24 exemption, deduc-

extraordinary medical expenses.
Danaher Proposal Accepted.
On voice vote, the Senate wrote
In an amendment which its author,
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut, said was designed to
eliminate certain tax credits that
wealthy individuals who operate
racing stables and other enter
prises can legally take under exist
ing laws.
The amendment would limit to
$4,000 the amount of loss an in
dividual could deduct annually in
computing taxes on his income from
trade or business if he had operated
such an enterprise as racing stable
at a loss for five consecutive years.

Manners
of the
Moment

Sometimes it is difficult for a girl
to navigate smoothly in her first
evening dress particularly if she
also has on, at the same time, her
first pair of French heels. And a
girl hates to give herself away by
tripping. 1t makes 1t so obvious that
she has just that evening started
to wear long dresses.
have two suggestions to make
to the lassie with her first long
skirted evening dress.
1. She should remember that q
good many of the other girls at the
party are in the same fix and are
probably too absorbed In their own
problems to notice hers. The boys,
too, will be wearing their first stiff
bosomed shirts and will be too con-
scious Of their own collars to think
very much about her faltertng steps.
2. I would suggest that the girls
mother see to 1t before the party
that the first evening dress is just
a little shorter than the filter sug-
gested, so that catching the skirt
under a heel Is not quite as easy
as it looks. -
Then everything ought to be all
right. And may she have a simply
divine time. JEAN.

the inconveniences-and the sacri.
f1ces-that are facing all OF us.
No matter what your part is, the
idea is to do your job as well as you
possibly can. If you do that, and
every other person in the Nation,
young and old, does that, this war
can be ended a lot faster than now
seems possible.
It's only a very few years since
thousands of young people in this
country were discouraged. embit-
tered and disillusioned. They had
no jobs, they had no future, there
seemed to be no need and no place
for them.
Today all that Is changed. Now
America needs her youth-needs
them desperately. She needs their
daring, their skill, their optimism,
their boundless energy. She needs
their very lives. On them will de-
pend whether or not there is an
America, as we know 1t.
That should give every young per-
son a thrill. And it should enable
you to face your own problem, no
matter what 1t is, and solve 1t
courageously.
And remember this: Youth Is
more resilient and more adaptable
than age. You can go through up
sets and readjustments that would
sicken an older person, and do it
with grin. You can take an ac-
tual or fgurative kicking around
that would finish an old fogey, and
come back for more.
You can-and we know you will.

Tommy's mother had come In to

should have been made, for Tom
mys record was dismal and the
teacher had striven in vain to bet
ter 1t.
Hes . good boy, really" said
mother. But he just doesn't seem
to want to get down to work. He's
IA now and he ought to be more
interested in things, but somehow
he just doesn't get down to it."
"He gets out of lessons every
chance he can make" said the
teacher. II have been wondering
whether he is in the right school,
whether he is getting what he needs
here. Seems to me that If he really
could do the work for admission to
high school he would do it. Or

Yet Tommy had q record for late

q record for cutting classes that
amounted to truancy; a record for
running e-rands that did not con-
Germ him In any way while neglect
ing his school work that concerned
him Immediately, that beggared de-
scription. The record showed
Tommy did not like his school, did
not want to take what it offered.
But he said he liked it? OF course
he did. Every child wants to please
his parents. When parent indi-
Gates that he wants his child to like
school, or q trade, or a profession,
or way Of life, that child will
insist that he does like just that.
But people wise in the way of chill
dren look at the record. How much
does he like it in action? Measured
by what he does how much does he
Like It?
In Tommy's shoes, not at all.

Chestnut
Season
Make Use of Them
AS Vegetables
Or Dessert
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

BY Edffh M. B0r6ef
The chestnut season was a long
time getting into swing this year
Since the blight Of our own native
crop we have had to depend upon
importations and most Of the ship
ments came from Italy.
During the fall chestnuts were
difficult to find, although there were
a few from California, but just be-
fore Christmas Portugal began to
send us shiploads Of very fine nuts
Those which we have used so far
have been generally better than
of previous years. Prices are as low
and sometimes . little less than
they have been.
In the household we make use
Of them both as q vegetable and
as q dessert. Chestnut puree Is
very poplar as an accompaniment
for game, poultry or any other meat
The chestnuts are often combined
with boiled brussels sprouts or
onions, which are usually dressed
with cream sauce.
The puree is also used as a des-
sert. For this it Is sweetened and
combined with whipped cream OF
served garnished with whipped
cream. The preserved chestnuts
put up with a sugar sirup and called
marrons, are often used as sauce
for ice cream.
Some people consider 1t a bother
to prepare chestnuts from which
both the shell and the inner skin
must be removed. This is not diff
flcult If you follow directions foI
what I call quick roasting. Don't
forget to make that cross cut or
the nat side Of the chestnut ir
order to prevent bursting.
QUICK-ROAsTED CHESTNUTs.
Wash chestnuts dry and cut two
crossed gashes on nat side Of each
nut. Heat two teaspoons salad oil
or butter In heavy frying pan. Add
nuts and shake over low heat until
shells loosen. Cool and remove
shells and skins with sharp knife
Cut or slice nut meats coarsely
for serving with creamed brussels
sprouts or onions, or use a. an In
gredient for stunning. Allow \ to u
pound per serving.
CHESTNUT PUREE.
Use preceding recipe, leaving
peeled chestnuts whole. Cover with
salted boiling water and cook Is tc
20 minutes, until very tender. Put
through potato ricer and season
with salt, pepper and butter o,
cream. Serve instead Of potatoes
with chicken. Allow " to u pound
chestnuts per serving.

no margin for error, however, and
heaven help them if they suddenly
need q new dress on, say, Wednes-
day.
Just what the answer is, we don't
know. The thing of which we are
very certain, however, is that some
answer to the problem will have to
be found, for with the added thou
sands of girls pouring into Wash
lngton now, the predicament grows
even greater. Any one who has any
ideas on the matter might drop us
q line, If they find time. We'd like
to know the popular reaction to
this subject.
At this same "get-together" the
other evening, several very con-
structive ideas were brought forth.
For example. the girls refused to
worry too much about any prospec-
tive shortage of girdles and founda-
tion garments, trusting to the in
genuity Of the designers and manu-
facturers to solve the rubber short
age problem. All Of them were
more concerned with the stocking
situation, for all of them wore and
adored nylons. Should they be un-
obtainable, however, these typical
white collar lassies were perfectly
willing to consider sheer Isle and
non-shiny rayon substitutes, pro-
vided they don't look too different
from the present leg coverings.
Also discussed were such prob
lerns a. finding q blouse with a long
enough "tail'-one that doesn't
keep popping out Of the skirt every
time its wearer bends over a filing
cabinet. Best answer so far Is the
Sblouse-slip" combination which is
exactly what 1t sounds, blouse
top and full length slip skirt in
white and pastels. and it launders
like the proverbial Handkerchief.
Also the answer to common COM
plant are the new blouses In size
30 for the little girls who find size
S2 too broad in the shoulders.
Highly approved by this critical
group were such important trends
as frilly pastel collars and jabots,

Be careful, when stacking your

pile them too high. To keep the
articles from scratching, you had
better put soft paper napkins be-

china dishes. And take care not to
break the handles of the cups against

In his interesting and instructive
book, Doctors Don't Believe It
Why Should You?" published by
Simon and Schuster) DR.. August A.
Thomen gives us some useful ideas
about avoiding colds.
He calls our attention to the fact
that exposure to low temperatures
and cold winds will not, in itself.
give a person cold. Shackleford's
men, on an Arctic expedition, were
subjected to severe cold and freezing
winds but seldom had colds. How
ever, they did develop them after
opening bales Of clothes from Lon
don. A member of Scott's last ex-
pedition, who was lost and wandered
about with comparatively light cloth
ing, failed to produce any wheezes
but was suffering from frostbite
when rescued.
DR.. Thomen suggests wearing
sensible underclothing during the
cold months as q preventive for
colds. If you have frequent sniffles,
bronchitis or asthma try wearing
cotton mot woolen) undergarments
He says that it is particularly i'm
portant that women cover the thighs,
down to the stocking top. Men can
wear longer legged underwear.
The idea of this covering is not to
heat the body but to avoid dangerous
radiation Of heat by providing close
covering He also SUGGESTS that the
chest should be covered with cotton
material. In the case of women this
could be a scarf or jacket made so
that 1t IS easily removed once the
lady arrives at her destination. This
Is certainly worth trying!
Large amounts Of liquid form an
important part Of the treatment Of
a cold. Citrus Juices, particularly hot
lemonade, are most efficient.
