| Why

By Josephine LolCman

This summer we will not be able
to ride around after dinner in the
evenings nor will we go to the beach
or on weekend trips as We have
done in the past. Our activities and
our time will be spent at home
Therefore, it is wise to acquire new
hobbies and activities which we
can carry on there.
Gardening is one hobby which
builds health and also adds a great
deal to the beauty and charm Of
our home atmosphere. The time
has not yet come when we are
asked to pull our roses and zinnias
and phlox up by the roots to put
vegetables in their places. AS a
matter of fact, we are urged to
keep on growing flowers.
Many persons miss doing things
they would enjoy simply because
they never have tried them. We
are likely to become too set in our
interests We should add new ones
continually. There are many po-
tential flower raisers who don't
know what they are missing. There
is a deep satisfaction for a woman
in planting and tending her own
flowers. She actually is creating
beauty with her own efforts.
This is a year to widen our scope
OF home pleasures. A new garden
or a ping-pong table or a bad
minton court will give you added
interests, and you will wonder why
you have spent so much time in
the past gallivanting about the
countryside.
If you spend much time out in
the sun on hot summer days, tend
ing your gardens, and perspiration
is profuse, remember that it is
wise to drink some salt water
Heat prostration is the result of
loss of salt from the body.

II like a boy very much, but my
mother refuses to let me go out with
him because she says he doesn't
come from a nice family. I realize
that fact, but for five years he has
not lived with his family, but with
some friends. He Is very nice boy,
respectable in every possible way.
HE calls me very often for date,
and I have had to make one excuse
after another. Can you tell me how
I can change my mothers atti-
tude?"
Now, let's first look at her moth
| er's side of this argument. Support
ing her position are these facts:
Similarity of family background is
a very important factor in a success
full marriage. The chances are that
this boy is not as good husband ma
terial as other boys Shirley might
know, because Of his undesirable
family and because he has been liv-
ing with friends and missing a nor
NAL home life. If Shirley did go
with him, she might fall in love
with him and let herself in for a
marriage that would be handicapped
from the start.
So much for the mothers position.
There may be other arguments on
her side, but those are all we know
from Shirley's letter. Now let's see
what Shirley has to support her
stand:
The boy is mice" and respect
able" in every way. Apparently he
has good stuff in him, and is trying
hard to rise above his unfortunate
background. 1t seems snobbish, to
say nothing of unfair, to penalize
him for something that is in no way
his fault.
Also, Shirley isn't necessarily going
to fall in love with the boy. Know
ing him as a friend might be valu-
able to her, and it might give him
helpful boost. And in any case, a

Do Not Force
Big Breakfast
On Children
Include Necessary
Food for Growth
In Daily Menu
By Leffice Lee Street,

The rash grownup who might try
to keep pace with normal, healthy
child would find himself collapsed
with WEAKNESS on the sofa before
the sun is high in the heavens. His
rueful exhaustion would be due to
the fact that child's muscular &C
tivity far exceeds that of an adult,
and therefore their energy require
ments are higher. Thus many a
grownup has amazedly watched a
skinny little boy or girl do away
with a veritable mountain of food
and still hold out a plate for more.
The preferences of grownups for
the amounts of food they eat vary
a great deal according to the work
they do. The man who sits behind
a desk all day may only want a
light breakfast, while the man who
works hard out-of doors, or is on
his feet for hours at a time will
probably need a hearty morning
meal.
This same thing can be true of
children, the wiry girl who is for
ever daShing here and there needs
more food and asks for it, than the
more placid youngsters. Yet many
parents do not recognize this fact,
and some mothers become upset
and worried because their children
will not eat all that is written on
the diet list, particularly at break
fast. Just as adults are entitled to
their taste preferences children are,
too, to certain extent.
So long as growing child every
day eats those obligatory foods his
young body needs to enable it to
develop properly 1t does not matter
which of the three daily meals in
clude these foods.
There are healthy youngsters who
do not relish a big breakfast and
1t Is foolish to upset such a child
by urging or nagging him to eat
more than he desires. 1t is far
wiser to give him light morning
meal and see that he eats the foods
he missed at breakfast for his sup
per or lunch.
Breakfast will be more welcomed
by the fuSSy little eater if it is
varied and daintily served The fol-
lowing breakfast menus are planned
for the child who is a light eater
in the morning, but who needs, as
all growing children do, to eat whole
wheat cereals, eggs, milk and fruit,
as well as green vegetables every
day. With each one Of these menus
Is a supper menu, and the two to-
gether supply the child with his
daily quota Of the foods listed on
the diet list as desirable for the
morning meal.
Breakfast-Orange juice, baked
egg, toasted whole wheat bread,
honey, cocoa.
Supper-Noodles with butter and
crisp, crumbled bacon on top parsley
butter sandwich on whole wheat
bread, milk, canned pear with jam
in center, one cookie.
Breakfast-Berries, crisp bacon,
toasted raisin bread, milk.
Supper-Scrambled egg with
stewed tomato in center, toasted rye
bread, milk, diced pineapple and ap-
pie cup.
Breakfast-Grapefruit juice, oat-
meal cooked in milk with brown
sugar on top, whole wheat toast,
orange marmalade, milk.
Supper-Deviled egg and lettuce

Conception of Proper
Diet for Old Age
Newly Revised
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

Recently the conception of proper
diet for old age has been greatly
revised. Several things are respon-
sible for this. The fact that in the
later years Of life the digestive
mechanism does not always work
so efficiently as it does in youth is,
Of course, true.
Often, however, in former years
the trouble was not with the diges-
ton itself, but was caused by the
fact that loss of teeth had pre-
vented the preparation Of foods for
digestion. With modern dentistry
teeth are preserved for a much
longer period and when necessary
are replaced. 1t is uncommon today
to see toothless old men and women.
Because it was difficult for many
older people to eat a variety Of
foods, it became a recognized prac-
tice to recommend soft foods or
those which were finely divided.
Often meat, because it was difficult
to chew, was limited. This naturally
cut down the normal protein supply
and there was for the same reason
a lower amount of minerals and
vitamins. Many older persons dis
liked finely chopped vegetables and
did not eat full quota in this form.
1t is now recognized that many of
the so-called diseases of old age
are actually the results of malnu-
triton. With a plentiful amount of
protein, minerals and vitamins, es-
pecially vitamin B-1, which has the
specific function of improving the
health of the digestive tract, We can
expect that older persons will be
able to eat those foods which they
have liked in youth and at the same
time avoid ailments which bring dis
comfort and serious conditions of
malnutrition.

Clothes
In Perfect
Condition
Little Touches
Save Wardrobe,
Add to Charm
Bv Patricia Lindsay

It is more important than ever
to keep our clothing in good order,
for we must make our present ward
robes serve for many months with
only occasional necessary additions.
But even more to the point is that
ones radiance, which we like to call
charm, is greatly enhanced if what
we wear is Immediately clean, well
fitting and becoming in color.
Needless to say the protection Of
material-wool or silk or rayon-
by shields for underarms and across
the back is almost necessary during
these hot days. Every normal wom-
an and girl should perspire and
perspire freely on a hot day, so it
becomes must that her gowns be
protected from body moisture.
AS soap is still plentiful. there
Is no excuse for a girl wearing
mussy collar and cuffs or other lin
gerie touches soiled undertakings or
hose or gloves. The busy girl who is
meticulous about her grooming,
makes it a habit to rinse out these
things before going to bed if she
cannot afford to have them laun-
dered. Once a week she takes an
hour and irons them, and presses
her suits and dresses. How fresh
and new looking a pressing makes
most garments and what a mistake
1t is to wear wrinkled, spotted
clothing. Your glamour value falls
low instantly if your dress looks as
If you had slept in it.
Every girl should truly learn that
"a stitch in time saves nine" Mend
a run the moment it begins in your
hose. Patch up torn hem stitch
ing. Never hang a garment in your
closest which needs mending, or a
snap sewed in place. Never fold
lingerie in your bureau drawer If a
strap needs a stitch or a bit Of
lace requires patching. Then no
matter how hurriedly you must dress
your clothes will be in perfect order.
For clothes care one should have
very good clothesbrush, a bit
Of cleaning fluid or powder, an iron
and board, some moth-killing prep
aration, sewing material, shoebrush
and polish
Extra touches in clothes care are
sachets for drawers and hangers,
double-strength cologne to spray
freely in ones closets, garment bags
and those little shoulder protectors
which slip over hangers, boxes for
hats and furs, and shoetrees. These
things are not luxuries-they are
truly good investment as they
not only prolong the life of your
wardrobe. but they keep it exquisite

Girls may make their own sachets

and putting it in little cotton-filled

and over again.

NINE INDUSTRIES
 AS GUINEA PIGS
War Production Board Will CentraIize Civilian Goods
 to Aid War Output
Rx JOSEPH LATIN

(Un1teu Press Stan COfFeSpOndOnt)
 Washington, July 2-(UP)-Nine industrial guinea pigs are being con- sidered for the first test of the War reduction Boards plan to central tze the production of civilian goods in order to obtain maximum output of war supplies, it was revealed to- day.
 Under the new WIPE policy, fac- tories in civilian industries will be regrouped and weeded out to get the most efficient production and at the same time release plants, man. power and materials for making military supplies.
 The first nine industries to go under the plan will be those mak- ng typewriters, bicycles, agricul- tural equipment, hot air furnaces, boilers, cutlery, dairy machines, enamel kitchen utensils and hollow and datware. Eventually, all other civilian industries will be affected.
 WpB spokesmen emphasized that the plan now Is loosely drawn, but In it's workings will have these ef- fleets:
 1. If 10 plants engaged in mak- ing t11e same article are producing only at one-tenth normal capacity, nine of them will be closed down or converted and the other allowed to run full blast.
 2. Small plants, as a rule, will be allowed to continue operation while larger ones will be turned over to war production.
 3. Civilian production will be sus- pended in areas where labor is needed in war plants, and full pro- duction allowed in areas of over. supplies of labor.
 4. Production will be suspended or curtailed where the power sup- ply and warehouse accommodations are inadequate.
 The WIPE admitted many prob- lems are yet to be solved-the com- pensation for closed-down firms, maintenance of trademarks and re- arrangement of distributive chan nels.
 May Be Compensation
 But 1t added that compensation for suspended factories should come from those allowed to continue pro- duction, and said that "concentra- tion plans should not foster post war domination of an industry by one or a few companies"
 Under one plan now being conSid- cred, small maintenance crews would be kept In closed-down plants and the cost of this service possibly met from the progts of producing con- cerns. WIPE officials said that would allow the suspended units to resume production as soon as the war IS over.
 WIPE Chief Donald M. Nelson pointed out that heretofore the cut down fin civilian production had been accomplished by percentage re- auctions in each factory.
 "The war program has now reached stage, however" he said, "in which the imposition of straight percentage cuts on all firms does not provide for the most effective use of the nations resources. Con- sequently, the board has decided that wherever possible, policy of Selective limitation be applied, with essential civilian production con- centrated in certain plants and regions"
