WE, THE WOMEN
 "We Missed Your Letter" * ** m** *** *** TAKE A TIP FROM THIS CALM DAD IF YOUR SON DOESN'T WRITE HOME

tagonize any son. And 1t would make almost any young man un- derstand, at least in part, why it is that parents set such great store by hearing from their children. ITS A TIP
 FOR ALL PARENTS
 Mothers and dads with sons in the service might remember that approach when day after day the postman fails to leave a letter from Bud or Jim. -...
 Getting angry at grown children and writing them nasty letters doesn't do any good. Neither does saying bitterly:
 "Well, if he can't even be both- cred to write home once week he can just go without that carton of cigarets was going to send him."
 Constant nagging at him in let ters won't have much effect either. But letter on the order of the one James Lee Ellenwood published might work. Anyhow, it's worth a try by the parents who aren't hear ing once a week from son in uni- form.

} MODERN MENUS
Try These Tips To Make Kitchen Utensils Last

Agriculture's Bureau of Home Eco- monies, comes the following scien- tific advice:
 ALUMINIUM
 Never leave food in aluminium any longer than necessary. Pits or holes are liable to result. Fitted aluminium not only is unsightly, but 1t is more difficult to clean.
 Any alkali, such as soda water, will cause aluminium to turn dark and to pit. Soda water boiled in aluminium will corrode the pan. You can brighten aluminium that is slightly discolored by boiling some weak acid in it for in- stance, water to which you have added some cream of tartar or vinegar.
 CHROMIUM PLATE
 Never use metal polishes or any kind of cleaning powder on any chromium finish. It is a soft metal and wears off easily. Simply wipe it off with a damp cloth, or wash with soapy water.
 COPPER
 Keep copper absolutely clean If you use 1t for any food, otherwise it's dangerous. Wash 1t in hot, sudsy water. Then rinse and dry If there are sposs on the copper rub the spots with one of the fol- lowing: hot vinegar and salt; lemon rind and salt; hot butter milk; hot sour milk; tomato juice; :; rhubcrb juice. Wash these off, rinse them, then wipe the copper
 IRON
 Wash iron in hot, sudsy water If this doesn't clean 1t, use hot soda and water. If the iron utensil is small enough, boil it in soda and water. Rinse and dry. Always keep iron thoroughly dry, because a lit- tie moisture Will cause 1t to rust. Ii iron does become rusted, take off the rust with securing powder, with steel wool, or with ball of copper threads. If you want to store an iron pan for long, coat 1t with a saltleSs oil or fat. Wrap 1t in paper and store it in a dry place.

AMERICAN TEETH

AMEHkCAN TEETH
 Of 100000 registrants found not qualified for military service, in the examinations made by selective service local boards and army inc duct!on stations, 20 per cent (1SS,- OOO) were rejected because of den- tai deficiencies.
 Let's not quarrel about the req son why so many young Americans have such poor teeth. Instead, go to your public library and get hold of a copy of the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Weston Price, D. D. s. (published by Hoeber of Harpers) and read 1t. Even If you are not interested in the scientific problem you will find Dr. Prices book highly interesting and the pie lures of individuals in the many races or tribes he studied more convincing than anything can say here.
 It may be well to bear in mind that the individuals general health, physical fitness and capacity to en- joy life may be impaired not only by infected teeth and gums but also by mere disuSe of the teeth.
 A normal person gets at least three fourths of his or her daily calories from carbohydrate (starches and sugar. and 8 person who does hard work or plays hard ol participates in athletics should gel nearly nine-tenths of his or her cal ories from carbohydrate material Carbohydrate is energy food, fue which yields immediately available enerby, and carbohydrate means any kind of starch or sugar, no some special kind of sugar, so fa1 as phySiologists can determine.
 Digestion of cooked starch aI1t sugar begins in the mouth, and 1 the food is properly masticated thu action of the ptyalin (digestiv' enzyme or ferment in saliva) con tinues for from half an hour to per haps an hour after the food haI been swallowed.

GlOutying Yourself
By AMela HaEs
NEA Service Stan Writer


 Short sleeves are everywhere-a prophetic number of them appeared at the Belmont Park racetrack, where fashions are made = and so wise women are looking to their arms. How to slim them down, and to build them up?
 Neither is an easy, overnight matter; but either can be accom- plished with persistent exercise. Beautiful arms are symmetrically round and full but not too muscular.
 The thin arm grows rounder when exercised vigorously, concentratedly. The idea is to draw a lot of blood to 1t, exhausting the muscles quick ly as possible, then relaxing. You work on the same principle as does the sprinter, who usually has well developed muscles.
 Therefore, If you wish to build up your arms. try workout with a bar bell or some other sizeable weight. Lift 1t up and down over your head swiftly ten times twice a day for two weeks, then increase to eighteen quick lifts.
 EXERCISES WILL
 AID IN REDUCING
 Conversely, motions repeated many times over long periods of time literally wear down fatty-tissues-- as you can see in the figure of the warld-like distance runner. When you wish to reduce your arms, use the old jogging-along distance runners idea. Swing your arms, in circles, moving them back and forth many many times. You might start

The most coveted title in the southeastern sectional tournament is the open pair championship, which was won recently by William E. McKenney and Peter A. Leven- tritt.
 Here is one of the hands that helped Mrs. McKenney win. With the North hand, most women will respond to one club with one dia- mond, letting the male partner ini- tiate no trumps. But Mrs. McKen- ney bid the no trumps herself be- cause of the king of hearts.
 On winning the opening lead with the king of spades she cashed four clubs. On the last, all hands discarded low spades. Then the queen of spades was cashed and g diamond to the queen put dummy in to take the ace of spades.
 When West still refused to let go diamond, discarding the four of hearts, Mrs. McKenney let 90 the low diamond. Dummy led a heart and the king won. On the second heart lead dummy ducked, and the ace ropped blank, giving Mrs. Mc- Kenney the contract.

New York-Dark, citized cotton clothes are. the newest expression of Q wartime fashion trend which may last for the duration-and then some.
 Right now, and this is National Cotton Week-F1fth Avenue store buyers are hopping to keep up with the demand for black cotton shan tung and black and white striped pluue suits, dark red and navy-and- white corded cotton suits, plaid and checked gingham jacket dresses, and black skirt with white jacket out fits made of cotton gabardine and poplin.
 Women are, of course, buying cotton instead of wool and silk. But that's not all. They're going back for more cotton when they discover how cool, rugged and various Is this fiber which has survived many a war since Cleopatra wore 1t and liked 1t. And cotton fabrics and cotton garments are styled this year as never before. For cotton growers, cloth-makers and clothes.manufac- turers are out to develop the home grown plant as the permanent, basic American style material.
 USED FOR CRADLE CLOTHES AND WEDDING GOWNS
 It's available now in dozens and dozens of things, from cradle clothes to bridal gowns, that rarely were made of cotton before. Fine special ] ty houses are showing cotton organ dy pastel dresses, all hounced, and in fine rainbow-delicate colors, for brides and their attendants.
 Designer Charles Armour has pale yellow and periwinkle wedding suits of crinkled cotton crepe.
 Designer Mary Lewis offers fresh faced" cotton clothes for all day - calico and denim for play, poplin and shantung for tailored hours, and a ginghafh gown for evening. Hat designer Lily Dache makes practically all of her summer col- lectio nout of cotton piQue, ribbons, and string.
