Strongly Opposes
Excessive Hours
Cash Bonuses And Piece
work System No Incentive
To American Workers

Washington, ID. G. GLNS).-Strong
opposition to excessive working hours
in war plants was expressed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt during a press confer
ence discussion, in which he asked the
American people TO examine and get
into their heads the fact that the aver
age worker produces more in ii 4S-hOur
week than in a GO-hOur week.
The President declared that he is
against all cash bonuses ana the piece
work system. No such incentives ar"
needed, he declared. because the over
whelming majority of Americans want
to turn out rs much material as pos
sible 10 help bring victory.
Surveys made in this country and
Europe on the productivity of human
beings, the President told the reporters,
! had proven that the average man. wO-
man or child turns out more goods at
the rate of IS hours a week than at
90. He referred to studies made in
| World War One, but did not amplify
them.
Shorter Day Found Better
! These We're conducted under the di-
rection Of Gen. William Crozier. chief
| Of Ordance, who reported in November,
/ 1917 that:
1T might be expected that an in
! dividual working 10 hours a day in
! stead of s, or II hours a day instead
of 10, would turn out more goods. He
can and doubtless will for the first
few days. But experience shows Us
that within few weeks or few
months, the output will be the same or
even less than it was during the short
er day"
President Roosevelt recalled that
! Henry Ford once said that work in
| excess Of 444S hours ii week-he was
not sure of the exact number-did not
/ increase the total output Of human
being.
Bonus Payments Opposed
1t was then that he expressed his
! firm opposition to bonus payments for
workers who turn out more material
/ than their colleague in d given period.
| Likewise, he was against the pieceWork
! system in peacetfme and more 50 in
wartime because the workers of the
nation are turning out all the material
/ they possible can.

Eat Enriched Bread
For Extra Iron
And Thiarnin

Are you ordering enriched bread
when you call at the market? Every
housekeeper should take advantage
of the opportunity to get the extra
vitamin B-1 and iron which all
enriched breads offer.
Our Army forces, although on the
liberal diet planned for the fighting
men and well supplied with all
essentials, are now to have the
extra insurance which the use of
enriched -four gives. OF course, if
the family eats whole wheat bread,
you get in natural form the minerals
and vitamins which the refining
process necessary in the manufac-
ture of white flour removes.
Vitamin B-1 is now known as
thiamin since it has been isolated
and it has been possible to secure
it in concentrated form at low
price This vitamin has many func-
tionS, among the most important of
which is the effect it has upon di-
gestion, especially in regard to the
mobility of the stomach muscles
and intestineS. In a nutrition ex-
pertinent when thiamin was absent
from an otherwise adequate diet,
blood pressure fell, heart sounds
became faint, appetite was lost and
condition of fatigue and irrita-
bility resulted. This experiment was
conducted with human beings.
In an experiment with white rats,
actual paralysis of the leg muscles
resulted This corresponds to the
acute condition of beriberi which is
common in the Orient when thia-
min is absent from the common
diet. In this country, where we
have such varied diet, beriberi
is seldom found, but subnormal
conditions of health with digestive
disturbances and nervousness can
often be traced to low intake of
thiamin. Every one needs ito be as
efficient as possible in these days
and none of us can afford to dis
regard the opportunity to get a
plentiful supply of this important
vitamin and without increasing the
cost Of o,f food budget.

PARTICULARLY interesting SuOJeCt, Nallu
it's certainly a topic Of conversation
to which I can't contribute.
Il have hinted how I feel, and
have even called her attention to
the matter. but 1t seems to do no
good. Please tell me what I should
do"
There's not much you can do,
B. w. Any attempt on your part to
stop the practice will sound like
either rudeness or jealousy. Such
q reaction may merely encourage
the girl, she'll think you are rising
to her bait. Probably your best
course Is to keep quiet, in the hope
that some day she'll wake up to the
fact that this is both bad manners
and bad strategy.
On the etiquette side, it's always
rude to talk of something about
which one member of the group has
no knowledge and in which he has
no interest. You know yourself how
cleft out" you feel when this hap
pens to you. The rudeness becomes
worse, of course, when q girl chat
ters about the places some other
boy took her, the money he spent
and the fun they had.
Apparently her motive in doing
this conscious or unconscious) is to
build herself up in your eyes by
showing how popular she has been
with other boys. She thinks this
will stimulate your interest. In
stead, it irritates you, bruises your
ego and lowers your opinion OF the
girl.
This whole idea of making some
body jealous to keep him interested
is founded on fallacy. When a
person feels jealous, he feels in
ferior-and that's a very unpleasant
sensation. If you make a boy fee
that way, he'll resent 1t and he'll
resent you. And If you persist In
doing it, he'll eventually quit COM
ing around and seek out some girl
who gives his ego a boost.
When a girl goes in for jealousy
creating she's merely engaging In
the childish practice Of bolstering
her own self-esteem at the expense
of some one else's. And any one who
thinks that's a good way 10 hold
friends-boy friends or otherwise
is very far of the beam.

better it works!

Men must learn that women are
people, too.
Somehow, the men in club cars
don't seem to have learned it. It's
funny One year you think the war
between the sexes is all over. And
then all of sudden it crops up
again.
Now, it seems with club cars and
trains SO full, it's all girl can do to
get a chair in a club car. But when
she does get chair, the men look
at her with complete disdain. They
turn their backs on her. They look
down their cigars at her. They act
as though she were not there, or as
though she were intruding on some
sort of party to which she had not
been invited.

Palate
And Harelip
Treated
An Expert Surgeon
Can Alter These
AbnOrmalities
Bv Letfice Lee Street,

BY Letfice Lee Street,
In the dark days before the knowl-
edge and skill of surgery was learned
and practiced, babies born with
certain common types of physical
abnormalties that are now easy to
correct endured the unnecessary
discomfort and Disagreement of
their handicaps throughout their
life span.
To carry the burden of such
physical blemishes can alter a
child's entire life, and instead of
growing up to be a confident, con-
tent and cheerful adult he is likely
| to become morose, retiring. self
conscious and unsure of his own
abilities and talents. We can thank
our lucky stars that so often it is
within the power of clever surgeon
to remedy a deformity that would
otherwise prove to be a lifelong
cross.
Among the abnormalties that il
is frequently possible to repair most
successfully are the cleft palate and
| harelip. This condition is often
hereditary. There is one type OF
cleft palate, known as the pre-alveo-
lar, that is operated upon before the
fifth week of life. The reason for
this is that it makes it difficult
! for the baby to nurse. A harelp
is often so beautifully mended that
only the faintest line remains on
the child's upper lip.
Another type of cleft palate is
known as post-alveolar and this is
generally not repaired until the
baby is a year and half old. II
is unwise to delay the operation
until after the second year, and if it
must be postponed for some reason
two or three months should be al
lowed to elapse between the harelip
and cleft palate operations.
This mouth abnormality is not
only extremely ugly and ruins the
facial appearance of an otherwise
handsome child. but it hinders clear
speech, and as I said before, inter-
feres with feeding.
If parents have child so afflicted
they should give him surgical care
no matter what their financial po-
sition. 1t is possible to attend the
surgical clinics of large hospitals
where the cost of an operation Il
held down TO a minimum.

Sweetenings

Sugar
Use Honey and Corn
Sirup in Several
Good Recipes
By Edith NJ. Barber

All housekeepers, especially those
who have not overbought on sugar,
are interested in the use of other
sweetenings which can replace sugar
in recipe.
| Because honey is more expensive
than sugar cook hesitates to take
a chance in making cake which
takes shortening and eggs, time for
mixing and fuel for making. Most
cakes need some sugar as well as
honey, but the recipe for soft honey
cake, which is printed today and in
which sugar is omitted, is successful
perhaps because sour milk or but
termilk is used.
Either honey or corn sirup may be
used in sweet muffin recipes If you
will reduce the amount of milk indi-
Gated in your standard recipe-one
tablespoon for each tablespoon of
honey. This is also true of corn
bread if you like it sweet. The fruit
rolls, which are made from a bak-
| ing powder mixture spread with a
brown sugar mixture after 1T is
rolled, are delicious when honey is
used. Either corn sirup or honey can
be used as sWeetening in nut bread.
| Apples baked in corn sirup are
| fully as successful as when sugar is
used. They have beautiful glaze,
which makes them look like those
which are specials at some restau-
rants. Baked ham may be glazed
with either honey or corn sirup.
Ripe bananas or raisins give you
all the Sweetening you really need
for cereal. The leftover sugar in
the cereal bowl is as Wasteful as

Hip>Reducing
Exercises
Offered
Roll Away Pounds
And Whittle Off
Excess Inches
By Patricia Lindsay

Exercises against Superfuous flesh
on the hips and buttocks are partly
general and partly specific. General
exercises tend to prevent the ac-
emulation of fat and to remove
existing fat from all parts OF the
body. These exercises are all ath-
letic sports and games and gymnastac
machines.
But specific exercises for reducing
the hips and buttocks must also: be
done-and' done regularly every day.
During this refashioning period one
should watch her diet and not eat
more than what is actually neces-
sary for the tasks of the day.
Here are hip whittlers which are
bound to give you a prettier figure
for your new spring suit-why not
begin practicing them today?
Lie on your back, arms out to side
and shoulders fiat on floor. Pull
both knees back to chest, push them
over far to right side and roll over
and push them far to left side
shoulders held to floor! Continue
first right then left for 20 or 80 times
without pausing. You will travel
down the room so clear the space OF
furniture!
Sit on the floor, spine erect, head
back, abdomen pulled in and up.
Stretch arms out in front shoulder
level. Push right leg forward and
right arm, then left leg forward and
left arm-it is a sliding movement
hard on the buttocks! Travel
thusly to end of room. Then slide
backwards to other end of room. Be
sure to keep spine erect, arms held
high and head back. This is also
very good for reducing heavy inner
thighs.
Sit with the soles of your feet
touching each other. Place hands on
knees, draw abdomen in and up,
spine erect. Now with a rocking
motion swing from far right to far
left and work up to a rapid count.
The harder and farther you rock the
more quickly your figure will be
streamlined! Rock so times with
out pausing for breath when you
master the exercise.
hope you will work hard enough
to perspire freely-that helps to
reduce and brings new beauty to
the skin. After your exercise period
jump under tepid shower and run
the water to cool. Briskly dry your
body with a coarse, clean towel,
give it slapping rundown with a
cologne or lotion and a final powder
ing with something very fragrant.
Then you are ready for days tasks!

| Why

Bv Jose bhiue LOzpmau

By Josephine Lozvman
Most women bring far less intel
ligence into the problem of selecting
the doctor they are to have during
pregnancy and delivery than they
do to the question of securing a
music teacher for their children's
lessons.
Yet their very lives or their future
health may depend upon their
choice. In his book, "A Woman's
Health" DR.. William c. Danforth
says, That the deaths from labor
at term should be SO many is the
more to be regretted as at least IS
per cent of them could be prevented
in the hands of able obstetricians. ."
This means, of course, If you put
yourself in their hands early in
pregnancy. No physician can so
successfully sidestep the possible
dangers of pregnancy if he sees you
late in the nine months.
If a friend assures a pregnant
woman that Dr.. BLANK" is kind and
understanding or she herself knows
a doctor who reminds her of her
father. she is likely to 60 flying to
his Office without more ado.
Of course, it is pleasant and even
important at this time to have a
doctor who encourages and SYM
pathizes with you, but if you have
to choose between pleasant per-
sonality and competence, for
heavens sake, take the latter. The
possible danger and Ill health re-
sulting from a purely emotional
choice certainly make the pats on
the back costly!
How can you choose a physician?
Here are few suggestions. If you
live in small town or near small
town you naturally will have fewer
physicians from which to choose.
If there is no specialist find we'll
trained doctor in general practice.
He probably will handle your case
most competently. Be sure about
his training and record.
If your city has a large university
medical school, go to the head of the
department of obstetrics and gyne-
cology and ask him to take your
case or recommend some one to you.
If you have very little cash, go
to the obstetric clinic in one of the
best hospitals. Lack of money is
no excuse for not securing prenatal
care. Payments can be arranged
over a period of time.
If you are new IN city or have
no medical contacts, call one of the
best hospitals and ask them to
recommend an obStetrician on their
staff. These are usually extremely
competent doctors. Of course, in a
small town all the doctors in town
may be on the staff. In that case,
as in any case where above rules
cannot be employed, ask the ply
sician what training and experience
he has had He will, no doubt, be
astonished but you have right to
know!
If you have a good general prac-
titioner but he doesn't deliver
babies, ask him to recommend an
other doctor to you. His opinion
should be valuable.
Your most important JOB is to
select a really good doctor and
once you find him, let him do the
worrying.
