By Josephine Losvnan

II you are one Of those women
who. should diet in order to reduce
but who must plan full and adj
equate meals for your family hope
you have been reading this column
for the last few days.
In the typical meals given in this
column for the last three days (one
for breakfast, one for luncheon and
one for dinner) the calorie count
for the day for the man totaled
1885 calories and for the women
only 1890. This would enable the
woman to lose at the rate Of about
2 pounds a week while the mans in
take would maintain weight for the
average man and in some instances
even increase 1t.
The same menu was used for both
man and woman with only q few
minor changes. II member of the
family needs more food due to
greater body size, occupation or rapid
growth, he can easily obtain these
extra calories by second helpings
or using a little more cream, butter,
jelly, sugar, mayonnaise or bread.
If the situation is reversed in
your family and the woman is the
thin one while the husband should
be reduced, then let "Mr." use your
menu and Mrs" can use the one
planned for the man In the family.
Remember only that the average
man needs more food than the
average woman because of his
greater size. You should compro-
mise little by adding a few Of the
items of the full menu to the one
designed for reducing. In this way
your reducing husband will con-
sumo about 1,80 calories day in.
stead of 1900.
To summarize, few of the things
we did in order to make the differ
ence In calorie count: Mrs. used
skinned milk while Mr.. drank whole
milk. Mrs. took her potato baked
while the one Mr.. had was stuffed,
and butter, cream and cheese were
employed. Mrs. used reducer's
dressing while Mr.. had the real kind.
Mrs. ate her apple raw while Mr. had
one which was baked with sugar
and butter and cream on top.
Mrs. had sugar in her coffee
but left of the heavy cream which
Mr. used. Mrs. had less butter, clear
soup instead of cream soup, no
jelly on her toast, no gravy on her
meat and the ice cream was left
out of her cantaloupe. You see
it's the little things which count up!

three little handkerchiefs In the

her eyes still on the box, the child

who thanked her aunt, and seemed
satisfied for the moment, but FOR
Aunty and mother 1t still was an
awkward situation.
Part Of the charm Of youth is
its naturalness and directness. But
children also must learn when TO
use tact. II Barbara had been two,
three or four years old, there
would have been some excuse for
her bluntness. But at five or six,
unless a child is quite spoiled, he
is old enough to show some con-
sideration for the feelings OF
others. This. Of course. Is impos-
sible without previous training and
the responsibility for 1t rests on
the parent.
Any child who can talk Is
capable of tactlessness, and re-
gardless Of his age he Is not toe
young for lessons in thoughtful
ness.
For instance. Barbara should
have been made to realize that II
would have been kinder to have
said nothing than to have spoken
as she did.

and Importance in a new Job and
you feel you must express 1t.
What do you do? Just add a
frivolous touch TO your usually
severe suit or tailored frock, or
put on new face by shifting in
terest from one feature to another?
OF course. nothing IL quite as
simple as that. To be able to change
your face and reveal an unexpected
side Of your personality takes pre-
liminary experimenting in the
privacy Of your dressing room. You
may have TO master a few Holly
wood tricks to do 1t, too. Use your
imperfect features TO advantage.
Sometimes to play them up almost

Use Powder Base

tinted powder base. Use the lighter

using some of the lighter founda-
ton over It. a nose that Is too
broad will seem less obvious If you
use a bit of the darker foundation
along each side, and line Of the
lighter tone down the center. The
same trick can be used with other
irregularities. The one thing you
must be careful about Is blending

different styles, some very, very

shoes that can be worn for work
as well as for play, shoes suitable
for wear with dresses as we'll as

Short Pants Worn
College surveys OF what's worn

short pants. So far they have not

Plenty of Makeup Tricks
Make Girl Look Different
By JACQUELINE HUNT

a wide grin as you blend the color
so 1t goes on with a velvet smooth
ness. Blot off the excess on a tissue
after the color has had chance
set. Notice how much softer and
fuller the lips seem--also how much
more warm and kind and tender!
Add Piquancy
Eyes set slightly on a slant can
also give piquancy to your face.
Repeat the slant by brushing your
hair back from a center part and,
if possible repeat 1t in the line OF
collar. Apply shadow with an up
ward sweep from lasies 10 the outer
tops of the eyebrows and be sure
the latter are groomed enough to
give them a trim, clean line. Any
unusual eyebrow shape should be
played up. as nothing gives so much
individuality to face!
Noses needn't cause half as much
distress as they do! A turned-up
nose should be considered bless
ing because 1t gives your face a
youthful charm that lasts even un-
til your hair turns gray. Try to
capture this same youthful spirit
in a neat but casual hairdo, in
clothes that are young and simple
but not severe. Accent it with a
light powder base, and rouge your
lips with care--use a fresh young
lipstick shade. blend softly within
the natural lip lines. Wear soft
curls off your forehead and off
the-face hats to attract attention
TO your uptilted nose.

vegetable fats are just as dlgesIlole
and nourishing as animal fats, II
hey are not destroyed in cooking.
Here again we run across the
advertisements that concern Vegc-
table oils and shortcomings; they are
snowy white. or 5000 digestlole.
,r 5000 creamy as not TO need
beating, leaving the impression
that other Shortcomings must not be
SO good.
Animal Fat IIealthfui
Other statements are that this
shortening adds no flavor or It's
own" This implies that animal
shortcomings have diSagreeable doors
or are impure. All this leads to
confusion and gives one the I'M
preston that animal fats are less
tipestible or are unpleasant and II
we desire only pure good FOODS we
must eat such and such prepared
fat and no other.
The facts are that both animal
and vegetable fats are wholesome,
easily digested and assimilated. A
normal individual doing ordinary
work requires about five ounces OF
fat daily and seven ounces should
be the limit. OF course, those doing
heavy work or who arc exposed 10
severe cold require much more. IL
Is said that an Eskimo Will con-
sumo q half pound Of pure fat at
a meal and take perfect care OF II.
Fat is necessary TO the produC-
ton OF energy and warmth. About
one third Of our energy is provided
by the fats in our diets.
There Is another controversy
that should not exist. That is the
dairyman's constant fight against
the margarines. The butter pro-
Queer is always requesting his state
and national authorities to put q
tax on margarines. Why? Goodness
knows, for if he makes and mar
ketS good butter. he can sell all at
his own price. The demand for good
milk. butter and cheese is greater
than the supply. II is poor butter
that does not bring a good price.
Don't Waste Fats
1t appears to me that the dairy
Industry is being sighted in
this contention. There is vast
number of families who cannot
afford the price Of butter. Is 1t not
better that this low income group
have pure margarine composed OF
both animal and vegetable fat at
one half the price Of butter? These
people will be far better nouriShed
by two or three pounds Of good
margarine than by one pound OF
butter.
The ingenuity OF man has en-
abled him TO produce a product that
Is just as wholesome and digeStible
a product as butter, with the eX-
ception of vitamin A, which can
be added to it at one half tcheaper
grades. one third the cost Of win
ter butter. Many Of the low income
group do without butter or mar
garine because they have been told
that the latter is not the best food
and butter is too expensive.
This is not the case. Butter spoils
more quickly without refrigeration
than does margarine. Animal and
vegetable fats in foods. and as
foods. constitute a huge factor In
the food industry. providing food
economies In our daily diet. They
constitute our least expensive
energy foods and We must have
them. II we take too many OF them
they are stored up AS fat for future
use Preserve them. Don't waste
them.

Col. Green Sees
Books as Tools
Of Warfare
BY TALBOT LAKE

LEW PEOPLE are aware that
L the United States Army has an
officer who carefully devotes his
time TO reading and publishing
books, pamphlets and articles OF
a military nature. He is Lieut..
Colonel Joseph |. Green, editor OF
the Infantry Journal" a maya
zine published by the United states
Infantry Association. While TINS
magazine is not the mouthplece
Of the War Department, 1t is an
extremely important publication,
It is perhaps. about the most
important magazine anyone IN or
out of the Army can read. 1t SIM
ply pops with excellent illustra-
tons and lively articles-Some-
times rather on the grim side. Be-
cause Lieut.. Col. Greene so whole
heartedly believes that military
writing must be good, readable
stuff. the Journals standard Is
high. This erudite military man
helps publish hundreds OF mill
tary text books. and he encourages
and keeps a watchful eye on all
books Of important military value.
Lieut.. Col. Greene is schol-
arly. quiet. modest man who
spends most Of his time III and
out Of his office at work. An oc-
casional cigarette, short walks.
and listening TO a popular quiz
program with Mrs. Greene. are
about all the relaxation he has
time for.
He entered the infantry as a
volunteer in the last war. Prior
10 that he had been a newspaper
man in Florida. TO which state
nc had come from his birthplace
in Watertown, N. Y AT the end OF
the war, Lieut.. Col. Greene real
lied that the Army would be his
career. He entered West Point,
and service took him TO all parts
of the world. Always interested IN
writing, he became the author OF
many articles and ne Wsp q p +
pieces. He conducted column Tor
the Panama American while sta
toned there.

mediately impressed by his toler-
ance and broadmindedness. Such
accurately liberal thinking is very
unusual. In or out of the Army
He even professed TO being dis
tressed at his intolerance Of intol-
Grant people. As a member of a
panel Of eight speaking IN The
Council Of Books in Wartime" he
turned out to be the one among
authors and critics who seemed to
think more highly than any Of the
value Of books. Among other
things. he said:

A shaped birthmark is sup
posed to be a sign that nature has

less troubled about It. You might
even play it up little by wearing
your hair off your forehead and
parted TO show your widows peak.
IF necessary, pluck a few hairs at
the inner tips Of the eyebrows so the
mark will stand out alone instead
OF blurring your features. Then. II

the birthmark. Press powder well
