bine this with the basic aid of for
getting the temperature, and you'll
be well on the way to whipping those
red hot, midsummer blues"
True, you can't do much about
lowering the sizzling temperature.
You can do a number of things to
help keep yourself cool as you go
through your daily routine.
For instance, the first thing to
remember to do is to "dress cool. -
Don't wear heavy, tight fitting
clothing
Clothing has been devised-from
the time when animal pelts were
the style both for man, woman
and grown-up children-as a protec
ton from the elements whether
sun, rain, snow, sleet or biting wind.
Don't use winter style of dressing
for the summertime. Shed some of
those clothes!
You ladies who are handy
with the scissors, needle and
thread can whip together some
dandy summer work, play or
visiting" dresses easily enough
these days. There is still plenty
of dress material to be had.
Ready-made dresses are also plen-
tiful, and reasonably priced, too.
Take look at your favorite store.
You'll see both plenty of dresses,
and material to make them.
There is no reason, either, why
the men, young and old, shouldn't
be dressed to combat the heat. Many
men, when asked why they are
dressed so "hot" in the summer
time, usually give an answer which
seems to suggest they ''hadn't
thought about it, or "were too
busy to do anything about it. Mean
while they continue working with
the sweat rolling down their tenn
pies.
Men are slow in changing to new,
even more comfortable style of
clothing. Those that aren't so con-
sentative aren't getting showed
around by the heat this year like
their more backward brethren are.
They were more willing-i.e., the
married men, the fathers-to see
their daughters going around in
shorts, rather than themselves.
When really it was the men, not the
women that needed them!
Maybe, when shortages in cloth,
dress goods begins to appear, which
it hasn't, as yet, it will be the
usual thing for the men to be wear
ing them. What difference does it
make whether they are worn driving

Check up on yourself. See
how much of the food you are

If you aren't sure, ask your doc

without much ado. A trip
straight to the druggist from
his Office in case he has pre-
scribed for you either to coun-
teract an acid condition, or pre-
vent one, is then in order.
If you haven't noticed already, at
the druggists you'll see many prep
arations to prevent, allay, or stop
the personal outward discomforts
due to the heat.
Talcum powder, salt tablets,
soaps, sunburn salves and oils
such are just a few of the many
articles available which are almost
a necessity around the home during
the torrid time.

the very youngest, and the oldest

Like clothing, food in the summer
time has much to do about keeping
one from being Knocked out, figura-

Don't eat SO much "heavy"
food even though you do have
to eat plenty of food, either be-
cause of your job, or your
nature. "Eat but little, but often"
holds more true for summer
time than any time of the year.
That little, but often" holds for
the so-called light foods which you
see advertised in your grocery, meat
shop, fruit store and delicatessen.

U. S. FOREIGN LEGION

U. S. FOREIGN LEGION
Most people don't realize it, but
there are many enemy aliens who
are officers in the U. S. army. In
fact the army, true to the American
tradition of the melting pot, is made
up of American citizens of almost
every national and racial back
ground, including 2,72O German ali
ems, not to mention 1900 Germans
who are naturalized citizens.
The Italian total is 2,472 aliens and
1871 naturalized In addition, there
are 644 japanese in the army, plus
5000 Japanese-Americans, formerly
of the Hawaiian national guard,
most of whom are assigned to the
Tooth battalion at Fort Mccoy, Wis.
The army goes on the assumption
that any man who wants to fight
can be good soldier. Of course,
the ''enemy aliens" are checked and
double-checked before they are adj
mitted for enlistment. The men who
pass these tests are found to be even
more Jealous for the defeat of the
dictators than the average Aneri-
can.
Latin-American Battalions.
To make the melting pot more
complex, the army has Filipino
infantry battalion, and is forming
battalion for Norwegians in the
U. S. and Observation-Disclosures. In
struction and conversation in this
unit will be in the Norwegian Ian
guage.
Equally eager to fight are thou
sands of Latin-Americans, especial
ly from the nearer countries, such
as Cuba and Mexico: The office
of the U. S. military attache in
Havana is flooded with applications
from young Cubans who want to
wear the uniform of Uncle Sam.
Most of them would renounce Cuban
citizenship if necessary.
But what they do not realize is
that if they come to the United
States, they are likely to be swept
into the u S. army, whether they
like it or not. Within five days after
entering this country, aliens must
register for the draft, and they had
better leave the country pronto if
they don't want to be inducted.
Not yet arranged, but highly de-
sirable, is a Latin-American bat
talon. There are now ten Latin
American countries which have de-
clared war on the Axis, and thou
sands Of their young men want to
follow up that declaration with
something more than police duty at
home.

War Nerves Even Disturbing Children

The war has created for children
many serious problems which Amer
lean parents and teachers must
face, DR.. Clifford E. Erickson of
the school of education, Northwest

of the summer session series at the
Evanston, ILL.,, university.

war on English children, DR.. Erick-

who complain. They, too, should be
made as comfortable as possible.
They, too, are the ones who should
be reminded that what they for
merly used to do, "just to help out,
shouldn't be done in the hot weather.
For there is facilitating effect of
the sun quickly noticeable on the
aged and weak.
One of the pleasures of the sum-
mer months are the outdoor picnics,
the family reunions, the parties and
fishing trips both for the youngsters
and the groWnups.
Although rubber restrictions
will cut down on many of the
long auto trips on such picnics
and outdoor excursions, it won't
at least it shouldn't for the
ingenious-cut down on the out
ings held in the nearby woods,
or even in the side, or back.
1t is on such picnics, and side-yard
excursions that real summer time
meals, old style Dutch Lunches"
can be served. Meals having sal
ads, cold cuts, cheeses, lemonade,
iced-tea, iced-coffee, and other fruit
juice drinks
The little extra equipment needed
for such meals that break the
monotony of eating indoors all the
time is available at any of the local
retail stores. 1t used to be during
the not far past days that it was
thought necessary to travel Is to SO
miles to a favorite picnic spot.
There there would be the steak fry
on the fire pits, or the weiner roast.
Today, with plenty of room avail
able, alongside or behind the house,
or in the field or woods near home,
there is no reason why similar Epic
mic" equipment isn't available. The
war hasn't stopped, in fact, couldn't
stop, American ingenuity.
Many times, too, in the desire to
cool off there were long trips to
distant pools, or ''favorite" spots on
lakes and rivers. Today, when ra-
tioning has stopped that there is
no reason why the shower equip
ment at home shouldn't be given an
extra workout.
You know, just because it used
to be only the kids who had a good
time with the outdoor shower is no
reason why you couldn't enjoy one,
too. Of course if you dislike the
idea of initiating the kids and en-
joying the whirling spray, why not
rig up an outfit for you and the rest
of the older persons.
Such an outfit could be dropped
from one of the trees in the yard,
or attached to a post used for the
washline.
This war has brought the peo-
pie of the nation more closely
together than at any time since
the advent of the automobile.
This year there'll be more local
entertaining, visiting, and genu-
inc social life than ever before.
Common sense will take care of
most of the heats oppressiveness
That which can't be taken care of
should be treated as a matter of
fact. A matter of, well, this is
the summertime. 1t should be hot"
This summer has seen, and will
continue seeing until the days cool
off, plenty of local picnics in which
various successful means to COM
bat the heat have been achieved.
You can do more about taking
care of the heat by actually doing
something to counterfeit the effects
of it. Talking about the weather,
about chow hot it is" isn't doing
you any good, nor the person saying
it.
You got to help yourself, and those
not able to help themselves, if you
want to let Mr.. Sun continue work
ing while you do.

BACK-BREAKERS


from Italy tells this revealing story
about the true sentiments of the
Italian people.
In his office at the U. S. embassy
in Rome he found clerk, an Italian
girl, crying. When he inquired what
was wrong, she replied: ooh, I'm
ashamed to be an Italian. You re-
member what boasting the Fascists
did about the Greek campaign?
They said: we will break their kid
neys.' But everybody knows who
really beat the Greeks; it was not
our army; it was the Germans. But
now-have you seen the poster on
the streets this morning?" And the
girl broke into tears again.
The diplomat looked outside at the
poster, which that day was appear
ing all over Italy. 1t showed a
Greek soldier lying on his face,
with steel bar across his back. On
top of the bar was the Fascist in
signe, and on the side, the swastika.
The caption read: "We said we
would break their kidneys. Musso-
lini is always right"
Note: All reports from Italy tell
of growing disgust with the Mus
solini government, and growing
hatred of the Germans But the
people are too cowed to revolt.

OF the city who are trying to ar
rive at a plan for housing. Like

Mr.. Anger that plans will soon be
ready fora building program that
will meet all requirements.
In the city there are several
hundred lots available. but men in
terested in building complain that
restrictions make private building
impractical. Outside the city lin
IFS there arises the question Of
sewer. water and gas. These can
be supplied, engineers state but
then comes the question OF pay
ment.
Mr.. Anger stated that the gov
eminent will be generous IN shar.

ton as to just where defense de-
velopment ends and where normal
growth begins. Houses In which
defense workers live are clearly
