The report lists four physicians and ten nurses, not to mention divers stenographers, technicians, secretaries, etc., as members of the division of health education staff. Inadvertently, perhaps, the name of Sairey Camp was omitted from the list, but Sairey is there, all right, and sahe is getting in some good and she is getting in some good licks against new fangled ideas in health education.
 Sairey never did take much stock in the germ theory" anyway, and this quaint exhibit from the western women's college indicates that she has the situation well in hand there.
 Never having had baby myself, I am not qualified to pass judgment on the ordeal, numerous readers who have actually had one tell me. Never having attended female seminary or women's college, I wouldn't know what sort of twaddle might be proper to teach the in- mates, but this report on student health in the mid-wes tern institu- tion suggests that anything goes as long as it is refinegd and mid- Victorian.
 Some years ago when attempted to describe over a national radio chain the everyday way the common respiratory infections spread, the broadcasting company's alert censor forbade it. He informed me that the idea of mouth spray associated with conversation was unpleasant" and hence unsuitable for an au- dience including women and chil- dren.
 wonder if the same subtle in- f1uence accounts for the Sairey gamping in the seminary.
 Poisonous Spray Residue
 How can insecticide sprays con- taining poisons such as arsenic or lead be removed from fruit or salad vegetables? (Mrs. R. W.)
 Answer - Ordinary washing will not remove traces of the sprayed poisons, which may remain on the vegetables or fruit, especially if there was prolonged dry season. Neither will washing with vinegar. Dilute hydrochloric acid solution will remove it-rinse vegetables or fruit i'll a 1 per cent solution of hydrochloric acid in water-made by mixing, say, pint of the official medicinal Dilute Hydrochloric Acid (which is 10 per cent solution) with none pints of boiled water. Rinsing in plain water will remove all of the acid.
 Answer-That's the way diabetes begins in many instances. Send shamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, and inclose ten cents, for booklet Training for Diabetes" For those who are underweight, but have no diabetes, have a monograph How to Gain Weight on request if you provide stamped envelope bearing your address.

WE, THE WOMEN
THE WOMEN-- Simplify Household Now To Meet
 l942's Problems, Says Ruth Millett

in store for us, let's start today to readjust our living so that we can meet well whatever the new year brings us.
 Let's cut out small, petty worry ing and simplify the details of liv- ing just as much as we can. WIVES SET HOME MOODS
 If we cut out all unnecessary work and worry and systematic what we have to do, we will be calmer, less jittery women than we are today. And if we are calmer, our families will be, also. For the woman of the house-to a large extent-sets the mood for all the family.
 If she is nervous, cross and ir- ritable, there's no peace or serenity in the household. But if she can smile and keep from getting upset by small annoyances, she can usual ly manage to keep her family serene.
 The good we'll do by simplifying our home life will even reach be- yond the home The energy and the time we save We can offer to our government to be used in whatever humble job has to be done.
 This is one thing we women can do right now-without waiting For some spectacular job to come our Way

One of the posters placed in ad- vantageous positions on the campus according to the report on student health issued by a western college for women, proclaims that EXPO SURE and CHILLING may mean serious illness, and shows 8 young woman in decollete gown star-gazing on veranda just off the ballroom attended by her dancing partner.
 Presumably the young people are a bit overloaded from dancing in the crowded and probably poorly ventilated ballroom. The implica- tion is that the young woman, at least, is running the risk of getting some serious illness, just what kind of Hines the health education de- partment of the college does not specify, but underneath the photo- graph of the postor in the report is this legend: The most common causes of common colds are so "in- nocent" and obvious that perpetual reminders are necessary.

Leeion Welcomes New Soldiers

IT HE American Legion strove through
i out its existence to make the Ameri-
can people aware of the dangers of war
and alert to the only means of averting
future war--which it conceived to be in
adequate preparedness for national de-
Tense.
The American Legion has always
advocated a strong navy, capable of de-
Tending the nation in all the oceans.
The American Legion has always
advocated an invincible air force.
The American Legion has always
advocated comprehensive and demo-
cratic system of universal military train
ing and service.
The American Legion has always
opposed subversive movements and alien
PHILOSOPHERS and skeptical and faithless
views toward American institutions and
traditions.
1t is futile now to say it, but it is an
incontrovertble truth that if the American
Legions pattern for this nation had been
followed in its entirety such force for
peace would have been established that
the present war would have been I'M
probable and very likely Impossible.
A FTER this war, the American people
a will strive once more to follow the
road to permanent peace, justice, tolerance
and brotherhood-alongw which the Ameri-
can Legion tried so hard to lead.
They will NEED the American Legion
again, and always-or a similar organi-
cation.
When the last war ended, there were
many attempts to Organize the de-
modified men-some of them shrewd and
evil. 1t was sought to socialize and
Sovietize America and either to revo-
lutionize or to destroy our way of life.
This was what the American Legion was
formed to prevent and DID prevent.
1t is to be hoped that the veterans of
this war will avail themselves of the
privilege of carrying on the traditions Of
the American Legion, of accepting its
patriotic responsibilities, and of completing
its unfinished tasks.

1T SEEMS the landlords and

one-sided criticism. May say
TO the lady and gentleman who
wrote the article in your paper,
/ would like them to have my
job just one week.
Some of the parents expect us
10 be nursemaids TO their chill
dren while they sit in their
apartment listening TO radio
programs, turned so loud they
can't hear what their children
are doing.
We have enough TO do answer
ing bells and, phones, also COM
plants from men and women
who are working nights. TRY
ING to sleep, without looking
after these children.
If / had talked to my parents
and used the language these
children use l would have been
whipped.
It's crime. God meant these
children to be nice, dear chill
dren, not WILD ANIMALS, and
believe me. it's not the children's
fault, it's the parents.
MRS. DALE CURTIS,

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-25

THE American Legion has voted in its
i national convention TO accept veterans
Of the present war as members, and thus
TO prolong the life of the organization
beyond limits originally intended.
AS founded, the American Legion en-
braced only veterans Of the first World
War and would have passed out OF active
existence in due course Of time.
II will be a wholesome and profitable
thing for the country TO have the Amer
lean Legion remain active and strong for
a longer period of,years.
1t has been a constructive and patriotic
organization throughout its existence, and
there is every reason for confidence that
il will be a thoroughly American organi-
zation as long as it exists.
In fact it would be a wonderful thing
if the American Legion could be per-
petuated. But that would require a con-
tinuing succession of new wars and 1t is
to be hoped America will not always be
plagued with wars.
1T SHOULD be stressed that the privilege
of membership in the American Legion
extended to the fighting men of this war
is indeed a privilege.
For a quarter of century. the Amer
lean Legion has been faithful to American
ideals and principles.
1t has never faltered in its devotion to
the welfare and happiness Of the, nation
for which its members fought and for
which many of their comrades died.
In every community it has performed
heroic and sacri6cisl services, at times of
disaster and in emergencies of every
nature
Out of its ranks have come able and
vigilant leaders of local and national
affairs.
1t has originated and advocated many
programs and ideas that have enhanced
the prosperity and security of the nation.
If all of its programs and ideas for
national security had been successful, it
would probably have gained its most
cherished bjective-permanen peace.

True in United States Alone

1T is only in the United States that the
Horatio Alger fable is repeated over
and over as a fact.
The reason for this is that nowhere in
recorded history has there been a wider
field for OPPORTUNITY, for legitimate
climbing from poverty to comfort and
power than in this country-the u. S. A.
where the fundamental principles are
SELF-RELIANCE, PRIVATE ENTER
PRISE, FREEDOM OF BODY AND
MIND.
The latest instance of this truth is
found in the career of William M. letters,
president of the Union Pacific Railroad,
whom Donald M, Nelson, chairman of the
War Production Board has appointed
rubber administrator
MIR. LETTERS, one of the great executives
of the country, now &c years old, began his
long connection with the Union Pacific
Railroad when he was ID years old.
He started as an OFFICE BOY. Then
he became successfully train dispatcher,
chief train despatcher, trainmaster,
assistant superintendent, superintendent,
general manager, vice president, then
president.

~ our way of life than that march up.

1t proclaims COMPETENCE, ENERGY,
SELF-RELIANCE. 1t is real American
saga.
But the story of Mr. letters can be
repeated in the life-story of nearly 80 per
cent of all our pioneers and industrialists
from Stephen Girard and John Jacob
Aston, down through Rockefeller and
Carnegie to the Nelson's, the Knudsens
and the letters of today.
There are those who would break down
our present free-climbing, free enterprise
system which has produced such mighty
results and given us such competent men
and substitute for it a system of Commu-
fascism wherein all private ambition, all
private enterprise, all belief in self are
obliterated by strangling bureaucrats and
party whips" backed by Gestapos and
OGPUs.
VERY office boy in America, every
IL laboring man, no matter how poor,
can go "to the top'-eveh to the White
House.
Our American way has served us well.
1t is the WAY TO VICTORY.
We shall have no other way so long
as the American people are not seduced
from their traditions by alien-minded
demagogues and utopian zanies.

~ rence's article where she
stated landlords are most
selfish and unreasonable bunch
of people. She is looking only at
her side of the situation.
The landlords during the de-
preston had to take in children
TO keep going and l guess most
of them had the same experience
1 did. I've had the plaster
gouged off the walls with sticks
and the mothers only a few feet
away but too uninterested to do
anything about it.
I've had the wallpaper marked
with crayon and pencil before
the paste had dried underneath
it. Have had three fires set in
my house and numerous other
destructiveness that would take
too much space to mention.
I've been in the rooming house
business over five years and
although have had my troubles
with children l still have a
houseful, but it makes me angry
to hear people knocking the
landlords for refusing to accept
families when so few parents
try to correct their children and
keep them from being de-
structive.

Learn Lip
Reading

Or that the slight deafness In
the beginning will be stationary.
And the consequence is that
he does not learn lip reading
during the years when there is
enough hearing left so that he
can understand the lessons.
I EARNING lip reading does
IL not come easy TO those of
years beyond childhood and
adolescence. and il takes time.
But if people would only under
stand mat half their happiness
will come from knowing it they
would try harder.
1t is certainly not a cheerful
subject, but the facts of life are
facts and they do not change
just because we want them 10.
/ think it better 10 face the
realities and the doctor would
be a shameless doctor who did
not make the beginning deaf
person lace the truth.
There are a few advantages
to being deaf. Some occupations,
such as bookkeeping and operat-
ing a machine, can be done by
a deaf person even better than
by one with good hearing: he
has fewer distractions. o.
DEAFNESS increase the
~ acuity of the other senses
and wnen watching an expert
lip reader perform you realize
that there is keenness Of
visual perception which has
been augmented by the handi-
cap Of poor hearing.
BY all odds the worst feature
of deafness so far as it affects
personality is that the deaf per-
son will not confess his disa-
bility either to- his friends or to
himself.
The blind person is obviously
blind and has TO admit il. But
the deaf person looks like every
body else and thinks he can get
away with ito his sorrow and
