YOUNGER SOLDIERS

In view Of the faCt\that the Army
favors drafting IS to 10 year old
youths for battle service before
family men because the youngsters
make better soldiers, We may ex-
pect lower age limits soon, prob
ably in the late fall following cleo
tions.
Demands OF total war on manpow-

changes in the draft laws, and il is
likely that younger men will be

Opinions Vary Widely


Another reader says that seven
year itch is due &c chemical
changes, particularly soaps, that
get on the hand and it takes seven
years to get the chemical complete
ly out of the system.
AS can be seen, what | stated
above is true: that there is a good
deal of variation in opinion as to
what the seven year itch is. Every
body claims to know right off the
bat, but they have so many differ
ent explanations that it hardly
seems possible that any Of them
given here is exactly and literally
accurate. My idea is that it was
some sort of an historic event like
the plaques of Egypt and that
some people somewhere were af-
ficted with it and it passed into
the language as an allusion. But
although | have been endeavorins
to find an answer to the question
as hard as anybody, | am still in
the dark about it. Maybe if we
found out what it was, we could
send it as a curse on the Japs or
the Italians and even up the score
a little bit.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
R. B.:-Does a growing girl
need the cream of the milk, or
would it be a good idea to skim it
for her? Does she have to eat at
each meal until she feels satisfied?
Is it wise to cut out sweets entire
ly in her diet?
Answer: These questions are
asked concerning a twelve-year-
old girl who is overweight and
gaining weight. Under these cir
cumstances cream and sweets can
safely be eliminated from the diet.
1t certainly is not necessary for a
person with a tendency to over
weight TO eat until she is satisfied.
In fact, an opposite plan would be
in order.

| have had a number Of re

those who have contributed to the
symposium. There is, however,
some difference of opinion and l
am not sure | can say the question
is settled yet. For instance, a read
er in Asheville, North Carolina,
says: II am very much surprised
to learn you don't know what the
seven year itch is. l have known
that since ! was big enough TO
walk. The seven year itch is
term used when one gets too lazy
TO move, too lazy TO work for a liv-
ing, too lazy to take a bath or
wash their face and hands and too
lazy to comb their own hair.
The Itch Mite
This reply is more at variance
than any other. Most of the writ
ers say that seven year itch is the
scabies. Scabies is, of course, ordi-
narily called the itch and is due to
the itch mite which gets under the
skin especially on the delicate part
of the hands. The only trouble
with that answer is that scabies
doesn't last seven years even if un-
treated. Some of my readers get
around this difficulty by saying
that it is a stubborn disease and
even when treated, some spot of
the skin becomes a focus for its
continuance and spread, and in
these cases it really lasts seven
years.
Another reader says that it is
the itch due to the chigger which,
according to this letter, is a small
insect or flea found in the West
Indies and South America. The
chigger is not confined to the West
Indies or to South America by any
means, however, as we have plenty
