Avoid Excesses
Dieting
For Health .
Embrace Reducing
Regimen With
Good Sense
Bv Patricia Lindsay

The new Federal clothes restric-
tions have made many women real
ize they must reduce in order to fit
into the skimpy cuts, SO I hurry
to caution them to embrace their
reducing regimen with common
sense. Excess in dieting or exercise
can lead to serious effects.
When you start eating less be sure
the diet retains a generous supply
of protein food, essential minerals
and adequate vitamins. No matter
how light your menus, they must
be balanced in nutrition, and this
means that menus must contain
seven ordinary foods daily-milk,
meat, sea food, eggs, green vege-
tables, fruits and enriched whole
grain bread or cereal. And If when
counting your calories your food
intake is not sufficient to silence
your hunger pangs, you must then
take, along with your food, a vitamin
and mineral concentrate. It is bet
ter, of course, for your doctor to
suggest one, but if you cannot afford
consultation fee you are quite safe
in buying balanced concentrates,
which provide you with a little of
each necessary vitamin and mineral.
We are cautioned that an overdose
of any single vitamin can be harm
full.
If you will find your ideal weight
for your age and height (from a
doctors or insurance company table,
you may multiply it by II to deter
mine how many calories you need
per day-that is if you are not more
than 20 or 80 pounds overweight.
If you are very heavy, it is much
better to have a doctor prescribe
your calory count for you and to
cherish his advice.
There are many tables of calory
counts on sale now and most insur-
ance companies offer them free of
charge. The Federal Government
also offers a calory table which you
may get by writing the Department
of Agriculture. Washington, D. C.
These will enable you to determine
how large a portion of any one food
you may eat in combination OF other
foods.
One should definitely include exer-
else in reducing plan. Older
women should take the less strenu-
Gus exercise such as walking and
relaxing movements; younger women
can adopt a 20-minute plan of spe-
cial spot reducing movements and
indulge in out-of door competitive
games. If you have not exercised
much (this applies to old and young) :,
take to exercises slowly at first.

Clean Lunch Containers

Dinner buckets, luncheon pals
and thermos bottles will not de-
velop stale odor if they are washed
thoroughly with warm soapy water,
rinsed, and dried in the sun after
each use. Men who have to carry
their food to work every day do well
to have two lunch pals and two
bottles. so that one may be thor
oughly cleaned and aired while the
other Is in use.

Inherited Frock

Have you an old taffeta evening
frock hanging idle in your closet?
Cut it down to any OF the new bal
lerina dresses for your daughter.
You can give it gay new feeling
with appliques of print at waist,
shoulder or hem. Cut print an
pliques from a scarf, blouse or an.
other old dress.

struck so savagely at the Italian
battle fleet two weeks ago that Mus
solini's armada became "a fam
tastic circus of wildly careening
ships" trying to escape, a British
submarine commander who wit
messed the attack said today.
1t. Stephen L. Maydon told the
story on bringing his undersea raid
er to its base after sinking a heavy
cruiser and torpedoing a battleship

ously damaging 1t.

Great Scene Of Confusion.
"One of the greatest scenes OF
confusion followed the first bombing
attack" the 28-year -old skipper
said. my submarine was in the
center of fantastic circus OF wildly
careening capital ships, cruisers and
destroyers, none of which kept on
course long enough to allow us to
fire torpedoes. The urge to surface
and use our guns was terrific.
Bomb flashes seemed to pune

Red and yellow tracers and black
bursts of heavier anti aircraft fire
from the italian battle fleet
streaked and blotched the sky in all
directions.
"At one period there was not a
quadrant Of the compass that was
not occupied by ships weaving con-
tinually to and fro. I gaped through
the periscope In utter amazement
at the feet dashing around in mad
circles"
The American planes were cred
tied with scoring IS bomb hits on
the two Italian battleships. The
British announced after the battle
that an Italian cruiser, carrying. g.
inch guns, two destroyers and 6

BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, July 11.-Americans as
individuals are going to have to
make old things co. "as We never
have done before in all our lives" as
the war production effort gets into
full swing, in the opinion Of Donald
M. Nelson, chief of the War Produc-
ton Board
Speaking to several hundred rep
resentatives of the leading automo-
bile companies last night, the pro-
duction chief praised achievements
of the industry to date. but added
that every manufacturer from now
on must plan to greater production
with less material-"every single day
for many months, perhaps years to
come"
Emphasis on Production.
Guest of honor at the annual din
ner of the Automotive Council for
War Production, Mr.. Nelson said:
Prom now on, the emphasis is on
production itself. From what has
been done so far, I believe we can
look at the future with good deal
Of confidence"
Mr.. Nelson urged the manufac-
turers to plan on long war, And
maybe" he added, 1T will turn out
to be short one"
DEPRESSING from a prepared ad-
dress, the war production chief said
the recent realignment OF the War
Production Board would mean the
placing of more of the production
responsibility "squarely on the
shoulders Of industry itself, as 1t
should be-"
Rubber Plants Under Way.
Asserting that there is no con-
fusion in this question Of rubber. :"
he said major task lies ahead in
building up a synthetic rubber in

we are going"
The synthetic rubber plants, he
said, "are under way and I believe
they are going to produce the rub
Der. If we're wrong, I'll take COM
plete and final responsibility for the
decisions we have made"
Mr.. Nelson praised the work OF
1t. Gen. William S. Knudsen, at
tributing to him most of the pro-
ductive accomplishments we've got
ten today" Gen Knudsen, among
those at the speakers table, received
three ovations from the assemblage
Predicting a war goods produc-
ton from American factories this
year of approximately s45,0oo, ,o00.-
900, Mr.. Nelson said that he ex-
pected the figure to rise to "70 or II
billions next year at current prices,
