FEW But FAULTLESS

Hollywood, Cal - when capt.
tai is limited, it's a capital idea 70
invest in only a few clotheS-but
faultless ones.' says Orry- Kelly,
Hollywood designer. He believes
that quality and line in one or two
outfits are far more important TO
a fashionable woman that a whole
closet full of clothes.
For Jane Wyman. he has design
ed a stunning wardrobe grouping
that provides her with several diff
ferent ensembles. The pieces con-
sist of a pencil-Slim white jersey
evening skirt, high. round-neCk-
ed Jumper blouse of matching ma
terial. a suit of navy blue wool, PIN
striped in red. and second blouse,
this one in red. The blouseS may
be worn with either the suit or the
evening skirt, to give four distinct
changes.
He also has designed a black silk
crepe dress for Brenda Marshall.
Styled with side drape. deep V
neckline and short sleeves, Il is
ideal for almost formal evening
wear. Topped with a Jacket, 1t is
also a perfect afternoon or street
dress. The jacket, of aquamarine
crepe. is trimmed with bands of
the black fabric at the bracelet
length sleeves and the fitted, high
waistline.

ond child, perhaps still babe in
arms. this is. of course. not possible.
Taking such pleasant Journeys
with the oldest child may well be-
come a habit. Father may enjoy
going to the firehouse with the tot
to explain the various devices.
Later. he may enjoy teaching him
TO fish. At no time, however, would
the second child be quite ready to
share these experiences. BY the
time he was three years old or so.
the flrehOuSe would have become
Just so much old stuff to father and
the elder child. When the second
child was ready for fishing excur-
sion, the other two would be old
hands at the sport and, no doubt,
would have no patience with the
little fellow.
Not only is one child being cheat

the father is cheating himself. II
he only were willing to repeat the
process with each of his children.
he soon would find that no two
children are alike. and that his eX-
perience with the second child
would be every bit as refreshing as
that with his first.
Another point to be considered
is that if both brothers are allowed
10 accompany father, it gives the
boys interests in common. too. and
will make them more companion
able.

knew that you should have the
causes determined and removed be-
fore another school year. but did
you?
You were perfectly aware that
tonsils and adenoids should be re-
moved. that the teeth should be
cared for. and that the children
should receive protective vaccines,
but you have procrastinated. It
would sound harsh to say that you
have neglected your children. Oh.
yes. ! know you feed and clothe
them well and try to keep them out
Of the way Of automobiles. But do
you protect them in other ways
from smallpox, whooping cough,
dipltheria. scarlet fever and all
other diseases that are scouting
around hooking for diseased tonsils.

NEGOTIATIONS Urged
No child SHOULD start to school

there Is no smallpox around! But
there may be children In your

say there is a cure for diphtheria if
used in time. Yes. but what guar
antee have you that the ailment
will be recognized in time? Diph-
liberia is a sneaking disease. and
every hour is vital.
We now possess reasonably sue
cessful NEGOTIATIONS against scarlet
fever. measles, whooping cough
and other children's diseases. All
Of these are dangerous. not only
because of the disease itself, but
from complications. There is the
danger Of weakened kidneys. heart
or lungs. as well as ear and nose
infections.
hear someone say. "All those
inoculations are too expensive!"
That Is a poor excuse. In most
communities, the state will furnish
the protective vaccines and, II nee
essary. provide a doctor to admin
lister them. Besides, all these safety
measures will not cost nearly so
much as one attack Of any OF these
diseases. Doctors. hospitals and
nursing services are also expensive.
All these protective NEGOTIATIONS
are without danger. but any OF
these diseases are not only danger
GUS In themselves but may lead to
some chronic ailment that will per-
sist through life.
Have Child Examined
We all have been extremely busy
this summer with war work. Red
Cross classes, gardening. writing to
our soldier boys. and all the time
consuming activities that result
from the war program. We haven't
had much time to devote to the
children. They had little colds or
sicknesses that were neglected.
They recovered, but their systems
were weakened and now offer less
resistance to disease than normally.
We may have devoted less time
and thought to the family diet. We
did not take our usual vacation.
and the children did not get the
usual sunshine. Consequently they
are entering school slightly below
par.
An anaemic child Is fair prey for
any and all Of the diseases Of child
hood. II you haven't done 1t sooner,
take time now to have your chill
dren examined and have all posi-
BILE defects corrected. The war
against disease Is one sort of con-
fiict that is always with us.

however, there Is no reason why an
"all-purpose" cream would not be
satisfactory. especially if you sup
plement the cream cleansing with
a good soap and water washing
once daily.
Over-bleaching and too-frequent
dyeing tend to make the hair coarse
and brittle. If some other color
than your own is more becoming to
you face. then have a bleaching or
dyeing done at the best beauty
salon possible, and plan to have
regular retouches and softening oil
treatments. Never try to do 1t your
self.

Now, also, is the time TO can the
versatile tomato for winter use. 1t
has the advantage of being easy to
can because of its high acid con-
tent. Prepared tomatoes should be
proeeSSed in a water bath for 5
minutes. Use firm, ripe tomatoes
with no decay spots. One bit of de-
cayed meat can spoil a whole jar
of tomatoes.
The easiest way to skin tomatoes
for canning is to put them in a
tray or wire basket and dip them
into boiling water for about min
ute. Follow with quick dip in cold
water; drain, peel and remove the
cores.
When tomatoes are plentiful in
nearby markets or in her Victory
garden. the housewife also will
want to put up a few Jars Of rel
iShes and chilli sauces. as these will
add ZeSt TO cold weather meals.

changes and a shortage of tools,

reported for work at the Dodge
division of the Chrysler Corpora

in a protest demonstration, a COM
pany spokesman revealed today.
The spokesman denied a state
ment by Earl Reynolds. president
of Dodge local, that 1000 men had
been laid off and that all had
reported for work. Reynolds also
said that half OF them had been
hired for the day by the company
and that the other had demon
strated for an hour outside the
building.
LESS than 500 men were laid
off for the day." the company
spokesman said. THE fact that

Although they did nothing, the
