Newest Rules On
Etiquette Given
By Columnist
Girls Dating Men
In Service Must
FolloaC These
By Patricia Lindsay

~ of ." Sssec"t
The world has literally turned
upside down again for American
girls since our country entered the
war. Girls are actually wearing the
pants, so TO speak, by taking over
home responsibilities, doing men S
jobs IN industry. getting higher SAL
aries than ever before. planning for
their own futures unaided and per-
haps for the futures of others.
Because this upheaval has taken
place the American girl cannot any
longer consider herself one to be
pampered. She must stand on her
own feet. She no longer can pose
as a clinging-vine or expect men
to spend their last dollar on pleasing
her In fact. she must stand her
share of expenses from now on.
It stands to reason the men in
the armed forces, who do not re-
ceive high salaries, cannot afford TO
tote around girls during a weekend
leave or furlough in grand manner
Their small monthly incomes are not
adequate. Therefore etiquette now
DEGREES that girl share the cost
of entertainment-when escorted by
a service manor stand the entire
expense. unless the cost of the days
or evenings entertainment is small.
Etiquette also DEGREES that girl
should suggest only modest plans
if she is asked by service man such
questions as. Where would you like
to dine tonight?" Where do you
suggest going next Sunday when l
have leave?"
Naturally, there are men who will
insist upon paying all expenses and
it behooves a girl not to embarrass
such men by insisting that she pay
half the checks Individual situa-
tions can be handled nicely If the
girl uses her head. Some boys
look forward to furlough so they
can spend all the money they ac-
crued while on duty-but any girl
could suggest that some of that
money might well be invested in
War savings bonds
Patriotic girls will not question
their service men escorts about war
maneuvers or orders and if a man
has to cancel a date without telling
why, he must be forgiven. Ere
quently units are sent away on very
short notice.
And unless otherwise indicated by
the man himself. a girl should not
think seriously of a friendship with
a service man whom she has me
casually at a patriotic rally of some
type. 1t is good to remember that
any man might have some pretty
serious home ties If he hasn't, and
becomes attracted to girl. he will
waste no time declaring his feelings!

| Why Grow
|Old?
By J0sethine Lownan

So many of the fine dreams which
lowered toward the sky in youth
somehow seem to fall apart and
break against the rocks of disil-
lusionment in later years. The fresh,
eager spirit is likely to become
shoddy with daily wear and tear
and life may lose its sense OF ad-
venture and keenness.
Since this is true of life, it is true
Of marriage. for marriage is an ex-
tremely concentrated and subtle
chunk of life This June many
brides will start out, filled with the
tender dreams, the hopes and faith
which lift life or marriage out of
the ordinary. Judging by the di-
vorce records. far too many of these
are doomed to failure. Even more
tragic, so many more will lose their
sheen of happiness. love and laugh
ter as the years go by.
More and more psychologists and
human relation workers are giving
time and thought to making mar
riage safe as an investment in hap
piness and toward separating the
tangled misunderstanding which
lead to divorce.
More and more this fact stands
out. Divorce and failure in happi-
ness are more often due to small
lacks than to big ones, or. should
say, to lacks which show themselves
in small ways. Many men and
women who would unthinkingly die
for their mates, nevertheless nag
them, make them unhappy over
trifles. impose on them and act in
an entirely selfish way.
Life isn't made up of big crises.
It's made up of constant. small irri-
tations, problems and disappoint-
ments. Not many husbands or wives
have frequent opportunity to act
with nobility in crisis but they do
have the daily chance to stay pleas
ant in the presence of irritating cir
cumstances. to be companionable
and gay, to think unselishly In
dozens of little ways, to allow the
right of determination and in
dividuality, to compromise in mat
ters of taste and activity, to meet
disappointments calmly and to meet
adversely without taking it out on
the other member of the firm.
Yet men and women 60 on daily
undermining the charming picture
their loved one first had Of them,
hammering away with petty lacks
until their marriage falls so far
short of perfection that it finally
fails. It's like smearing little dabs
of paint over portrait until its
original charm and beauty are en-
tirely lost.
For the next few days why Grow
Old?" will give suggestions to the
June bride. These ideas also will
interest every married woman. for
1t is never too late to begin working
for happiness or love.

MastOiditiS VERY
Grave Ailment
In Childhood
Consult Physician
Immediately for
Etberf Advice
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

To find her child tossing his little
head from side to side. crying. wake
full and hot in the middle Of the
night is enough to make any mother
dash for the thermometer. and then,
on noting a fever, to scramble for
the telephone to call the doctor,
waking her soundly sleeping hus-
band in the process. 1t is enough,
too, to make a man, while he gropes
blindly for his bedroom slippers. feel
deeply anxious and very helpless as
to how he may comfort his small and
valuable young man, who Is obvi-
ously sick little boy.
Intelligent parents are on the
alert. They do not attempt to treat
an ill child themselves. saying that
they will wait day or so" before
they call the doctor. They do so at
once. And they are the parents
whose youngsters do not die need
leSsly.
Such symptoms as those described
above are ominously indicative OF
ear trouble, and we should all have
a reverent respect for this vital or
gan and seek to protect our chill
dren's hearing at all costs.
When baby is born, the inner ear
is generally formed, and the middle
ear is almost as large as an adults.
But the eustachian tube Is shorter
and wider than ours, and thus ad-
mits infection more readily.
Earache is a common complaint OF
babies and children and is compli-
cation that frequently follows a cold,
as we'll as possibly meaning that
there is more serious trouble. One
of the most painful and dangerous
diseases common to childhood is
mastoiditis, which is an inflamma-
ton of the mastoid cells.
While it is perfectly possible for
child who is developing mas
toiditis to evidence no symptoms
other than fever, it is generally true
that the youngster will have chills
and fever. headache, earache and be
very tender to the touch and show
swelling over the mastoid.
The mastoid process, by the way,
lies under and behind the bone you
can feel at the back of your ear
where the ear joins the head. 1t is
situated very near the important
facial nerve that controls the mus
cles of the face, and one reason a
maStoid operation is so delicate is
that the surgeon must take great
care not to damage this nerve.
1t goes without saying that only
skillful doctor should be consulted
where ears are concerned. and even
the most experienced doctor is reluc-
tant to make diagnosis of maStoid-
tits without an X-ray examination
If the complete examination shows
that mastoiditis is present, an op-
Grafton should be performed, but
only by very capable ear surgeon
Expert nursing is also preferable
and the prognosiS is better than fair
if the disease is handled wisely.
The point of this article is not to
alarm parents, but to impress upon
them that minor colds and earaches
| if neglected can result in extremely
dangerous complications of the ear

your babies and children when they
have a sniff1e, and rush to call your

thing, and I am at a loss to Know
what to do Is it wrong 10 nave
boys over to see me and ShouIo
drop out OF my club?"
We're afraid, Edna, that your Ia
theirs mind may be so set that ne
won't be Influenced by our opinions
in this matter. But we'll give them
to you for any possible help they
may be.
We see no reason in the world why
YOU should not be a member OF THIS
club. It's healthy, normal way 1or
you TO get the experience IN personal
and social relationships which every
girl needs. AS for its being unheard-
of, we ourselves belonged TO just
such clubs when we were your age
or even a little younger, and we
know that these contacts were as
wholesome and enjoyable as any
thing that ever happened to US.
At your age, and in view OF your
fathers attitude, it would be better
to have friends come to your house
in mixed groups, rather than having
individual boys coming to see you.
But certainly you should be per-
mitted to have normal friendships
with both boys and girls. The TACT
that your father even objects TO
your girl friends shows the almost
hopeless narrowness of his view
point.
What can be done about the sit
uation is hard TO say You do not
mention your mother, but perhaps
there is some other adult whose
help you could enlist in trying TO
show your father your side of the
question. 1t must be some one in
whom he has conhdence-your pas
tor, a teacher. a relative, or even
parent OF one Of your friends.
Your father must respect this ally;
otherwise. he will merely resent the
move as impudent interference with
his affairs.
Every psychologist. and every per-
son familiar with young people,
knows that only harm can come
from denying a teen-age girl the
natural, healthy friendships OF boys
and girls of her own age.
If your father has your welfare
at heart, he'll make an earnest ef-
fort to overcome his deep-seated but
unfounded prejudices against such
contacts. For your sake. we sin
cerely hope that he is successful.
You Ask-We Answer.
@. If you've gone out with GER
tain boy twice, and if on the second
date he told you that he was in
love with you, would you believe
him? He even swore he was telling
the truth. Is that just most boys
line" or could he be sincere?
A. Could be-but we'd advise you
to postpone sending out any engage
ment announcements.

not to blame for any of that, and

Combat Hidden
Hunger with
Varied Diet
Good Educational
Film on Subject
TO Be Issued
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

Every crisis IN history DrlnRS ne"
words and phrases into the language
The term hidden hunger was
popularized a year ago in Paul ".
McNutt's speech before the nutrl-
ton conference. Now we find 1t
used as a title of a motion picture
which will be shown in theaters
throughout the country shortly.
Some of us saw a preview of the
picture several weeks ago. The at
tempt of Farmer Link Squlres to
campaign against the waste OF
foodstuffs and fight for their proper
use is dramatized in whimsical style
by Walter Brennan.
1t is an old axiom that people
remember much better what they
see than what they hear. For this
reason Administrator McNutt hopes
that every person in America will
have the opportunity to see this film
and that by putting into practice
the recommendations of the ONCE
of Defense Health and Welfare
Services they will get themselves
an equal chance for health
Hidden hunger is defined as the
subconscious urge by the body for
the food that it should have but
is not getting. 1t has nothing to
do with the hunger of an empty
stomach There are many people
who spend money for food to fill
their stomachs to satisfaction, but
who neglect unconsciously the hid
den hunger which results from the
wrong choice of food.
The varied diet which this column
has been preaching for many years
is the remedy. Plenty Of milk,
eggs, vegetables and fruits, whole
grain or enriched bread, meat or
fish, supplemented by the desserts
which almost every one likes and
which often supply some of the
necessary elements for good health,
are the components of a Well-bal-
anced diet. Don't forget that some
of the fruits should be of the citrus
type and that some of the vege-
tables should be served in raw form.
MIXED GREEN SALAD.
Chefs Salad.
Salad greens, sliced cucumber,
radishes and scallions or minced
chives, shredded raw carrots, shred
ded cabbage, chopped green pep
pers. fowerets of raw cauliflower,
diced celery, quartered or sliced to-
matoes, sliced hard-cooked egg, in
any combination or proportions may
be used with French dressing for
a green vegetable salad. Thin shreds
of chicken, turkey, ham or tongue
are often added. Ccumbers may be
pared or not, and should be sliced
or diced and soaked in salt water
for half an hour before using.
Longer soaking is not desirable, as
it causes willing. Tomatoes should
be skinned after they are dipped in
boiling water and chilled before
slicing or quartering. Tomatoes
may be marinated in the dressing
for an hour or more, but other vege-
tables and green's should be added
Just before the salad is to be served.
The bowl may be rubbed with garlic
before the salad is mixed. After
greens and vegetables have been
tossed with French dressing, the
salad should be tasted, and more
salt added, if necessary
