Mayor Bob Hatton, chairman of
Ell Centros United China relief
drive, predicted that the local quota
of $500 would be exceeded by at
least so per cent.
There was on deposit in Ell Centre
banks Tuesday a total of $1,000 col
lected thus far, and this figure did
not include contributions either
from the city's Chinese citizens or
from the anticipated largest source
from which the drive will draw its
support.
This source is the fruit and veget-
able industry, whose leaders are
handling the solicitations them
selves. Several hundred dollars are
expected to be donated by these
leaders.
The Chinese contributions, 1t was
indicated, probably will exceed
$1,000.

 Answer = Disgusting myself as a second-sight artist for the nonce l suggest that you substitute plain wheat and wheat germ for half of the white flour or white flour prod ucts in your diet, drink at least 8 quart, better three pinnts of milk daily, and supplement your daily diet with an optimal ration of vita min B complex. Send stamped en- velope bearing your address, for pamphlet Wheat to Eat".
 Canker Sores
 I have two, three or four canker sores practically all the time. Have been a sufferer for 28 years. With the sores at their worst I do not eat. Have been hospitalized for four months at a time from just canker sores. Best treatment I have found is touching the sore with 10 per cent silver nitrate solution. If caught at the early stage this seems to stop them. The solution must be fresh. If any gets on bathroom fixtures 1t leaves stain that can- not be removed. c. D. ID
 A11sWer-Thank you. Ordinarily touching canker sore with MILD tincture of iodine (the 21 per cent strength tincture expressly intend ed for popular use as first aid dis mfectant, etc) once daily for day or two, and using agreeably warm solution of heaping teaspoonful boric acid in pint of boiled water as mouthwash many times a day, will relieve canker sores quickly. Of course avoid toothbrush and dentri- fees, hard food.

Q MODERN MENUS Hot PicnicS
 Are The Mode
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX (NEA Service Staff Writer)

The picnic of yesteryear usually centered around 8 shoe-box filled with sandwiches. But today, vac- uum jugs that will keep food hot or cold for hours have done much to change the style of picnic lunch. You can carry soup, stew, chili, or any other food in a vacuum jug and have 1t all ready to serve hot
 But sandwiches stil lenjoy wide popularity as picnic fare. They should be attractive in appearance as well as pleasing in flavor, and above all, substantial and nourish- ing. Odds and ends of chese, left over meats, eggs, fish, dried fruits, nuts and vegetables, such as pep pers, lettuce and onions may be used in making savory filings.
 Outdoor cooking is always pop ular. Everyone enjoys the fragrance of meat browning in the open air. Here's one of Jimy Beaard's deli cious outdoor recipes for your Sum- day picnic:
 Irish Hamburgers
 Four cups cold corned beef chopped medium fine, ? cups chopped boiled potatoes. 1 medium onion chopped fine, pepper, pinch of nutmge.
 Mix these ingredients with the fingers and form into cakes. Brush with butter and slip into a broiler. Cook very slowly over hot coals, brushing with butter frequently. Serve eggs with these Irish Ham, burgers if desired. Try coleslaw and good, pungent sauce with them. and maybe hot biscuit. Or else fried cabbage with boiled po- tatoes cokoed with 1t.

Now, too, Hollywood is latlnch- ing a new wartime, double 1duty style-combining the same sNeat- CT with any covering for the neither extremities, from sports short, to day-length skirts - and even long skirts for evening.
 Many stars have become their own designers after working with Kate Stern, who originates some of the most unusual handmade sweaters to be found in Holly wood. In fact, it is a hobby with Kate Stern to steer novice knit ters into designing for themselves.
 Anne Gwynne took time of from her stint in Deep iIil the Heart of Texas" to be photo graphed in the most recent Stern sweater which she wears with skirts, shorts or slacks with equal success. It is of aqua blue wool in 8 "seed" stitch, original enough in itself but the giddy trimming is important as many of the arnateur star designers are fascinated by just such trimmings and try all sorts of notions for themselves.
 ALL THE STARS
 ARE DOING TT
 Fish and underwater flora make this sweater unusual. The tSndrtlS of seaweed are in dark green feather stitching. The appliqued fish are made of white fe1t, in exact replicas of angel fish, with tangerine felt for the centerl band and fins. The bubbles are done in white Ioop-stitching. The tiny white buttons are solidly croHheted in white.
 Confirmed sweater wearer$ and makers, who also follow the, new trend of ensembling the same sweater with all sorts of skirts, shorts and slacks, are Rosalind Rus sell, Joan Crawford and Ann Soth- ern. Marion Martin also recently branched out in still another direc- tion, crocheting herself bathing suit in f1shnet effect tlAat left everyone gasping.
 Among the younger starsl a few names stand out as sweater en- thusiasts, especially sweaters to mix and match, making entirely differ ent costumes. Anita Louise lis adept at this; so, too, are Marthal O'Dr1s- coll, Phillis Brook Constance Moore the Lane Sisters, Frances Ltangford and Bonita Granville (shf knits sweaters for herself and every now and then even one fori Jackie Cooper0

TRY EXERCISING TO LIMBER KNEES

Here are two good routines for knee limbering:
 Sit in a straight chair with feet flat on the floor. Bring left knee up to chest until heel rests on chair. Now place hands under bent knee and stretch leg straight up in air. Be sure to keep your back straight = don't bend back ward in an effort to lift leg high CT. Reverse, pulling right knee up and stretching right leg up.
 Then, stand correctly, resting hands on back of chair. Raise right leg up in back. bending both knees slightly. Slowly stretch and raise right leg as high as pos sible, at the same time straighten- ing left leg on which you are standing. Repeat six times. Then reverse. standing with weight on right leg, lifting and stretching left leg. Hands should rest slight ly on the chair. In time, you'll be able to do the exercise without supporting yourself with hands on the chair.

of looking out for the small fry.
 On Monday all the kids play in Mrs. Browns yard, going home in time for lunch and afternoon maps.
 On Tuesday they are sent to Mrs. Smiths yard, bright and early. On Wednesday someone else gets them and so on every day but Sunday.
 That leaves all the mothers but one free to get their work done without having to stop and get the children out of trouble. It gives them time off to do their market ing, to go to the beauty parlor, to do war work-or whatever else is included in their busy schedules. MOTHERS CAN WORK
 WITHOUT INTERRUPTION
 The mother whose job it is to take care of the young ones doesn' t try to do anything else. She leaves her work until afternoon and con- centrates on the small fry.
 It is her job to supervise their play, keep them from batting each others brains out, and to keep them out of the street.
 That system is working fine in neighborhoods where the women are intelligent enough to cooperate with each other, and where there are enough children in the same age group to make the plan worthwhile.
 AS the war goes on and every one gets buster and buster and the things we can buy become fewer and fewer-SHARE is going to become an increasingly important word. The more plans we work out for sharing goods, responsibility, work, and everything else - the easier our lives will be.
 Sharing the job of. looking after kids is probably just beginning.
