| Why
|Grow
By Josephine Lowman

Most persons cannot afford the
price of railroad fare for vaca-
ton trip for the entire family. In
the past they have corralled children
and all into the family jalopy and
have swung down the highways with
the abandon Of gypsies looking fol
change and adventure.
Still others, who in past years
went to vacation spots by rail OF
plane, will this year feel the pinch
Of taxes and will forego many such
pleasures. Therefore there will be
literally thousands Of families
spending their vacations at home
this summer.
This need not be a dull expert
ence. You can change your pace
and discover adventure and new
interests In your own back yard
You can also take the time allotted
YOU and rebuild health and en-
thusiasyn.
Too often persons come back from
their vacations more tired than they
were when they started out. There
is nothing relaxing about making
400 or 500 miles a day by car and
it is positively dangerous to climb
Pixies Peak without training for 1t
Every year men and women In
dulge In outdoor activities which are
too strenuous for them. They don't
take time to become adjusted to
new climate or altitude because they
have 50 little time and many OF
them would have been much better
OF taking a rest cure at home. So
home vacations have their advan.

trouble. It's difficult to find time
for them and to change clothes

your vacation at home. Remember
Only about five minutes on each

Manners
of the
Moment

With all the men who carry brief
cases now riding with the hoi polloi
instead of in their own cars a girl
has to be awfully careful about her
stockings. Brief cases have a way
of brushing briskly past a girls legs
and snagging just the wrong thread
Stockings are not so easy to get
or keep these days. And it's a
shame that they should have to be
sacrificed because Of . shortage of
rubber tires.
My suggestion Is that men with
bref cases should have a thought
for the girls. Perhaps their wives
could make smooth cretonne Covers
for the brief cases so that buckles
and rough-edged straps wouldn't
protrude. Or perhaps the men could
carry the cases up under their arms
instead OF down beside . girls best
nylons.
You may have to conserve your
tires, gentlemen. But a girl has to
conserve her stockings, too.

Cosmetic Oil
Essential
Product
Wise Women Will
Learn to Use 1t
In Many Ways
By Patricia Lindsay

II all cosmetics were taken away
from woman with the exception Of
a good oil, a bar of soap and a lip
stick, she could still protect her
beauty and even enhance it.
We've got to consider substitutes
these days because we may be
faced with the rationing Of beauty
aids as we'll as sugar. We hope
not, and the Government hopes not
but if limited production Of beau
ty aids will help to win the wal
there isn't q woman in America who
would not take the edict graciously
But please, Mr.. Rationing Chief
let us have soap to keep clean
and sweet, a good oil to encourage
beauty and combat skin and hair
dryness, and a lipstick for morale
A well-blended cosmetic oil, OF
even a pure heated olive oil, can
serve so many beauty rites. An
oil shampoo brings out hidden
luster in dull hair. Oil smooths
ragged cuticle. Oil soothes sun
burned, windburned or chapped
body. Oil may serve as the primary
step in a thorough facial. Odorless
castor oil encourages the growth OF
eyelashes and brows and prevents
them from becoming brittle. Tired,
burning feet are quickly relieved
with q Arm massage with hot oil
after a rousing hot bath and brush
ing. And milady's hands can re-
main young-looking If they are
frequently anointed with oil.
As to the Importance Of soap
no American woman can visualize
life without 1t. 1t cleanses the
body, beauties the skin, cleans
soiled clothing, keeps homes sani-
tary. 1t is all-essential. and al
though we adore beautifully scented
soaps for our personal grooming we
could easily get along without the
fragrance as long as we had the
soap with which to clean.
To convince yourself of the merit
of Oil and soap. take an hour of
for grooming and use only these
two aids. Oil your hair well and
then shampoo it and dry it by
hand. Brush 1t we'll after 1t is dry
Be amazed at its new glory.
After a thorough soap scrubbing
under the shower or in the tub
anoint your elbows, your knees
your feet, your hands. with some
heated oil. If your body skin is
dry, anoint 1t also.
Then spread the oil over your
face generously, steam it over the
hot-water tap, wipe it clean with
tissue. For several minutes mas
sage it well with fingertips and
finally rinse it thoroughly with al
ternate warm and cold waters
HOW velvety smooth and glowing
is your face!

Soap for Soldiers

Tuck q cake Of your soldiers ia

age you send him ut training camp
II YOU want him to salute you as
the perfect mother, sister or sweet
heart. Next to kitchen goodies, they
appreciate soap for personal use,
because toilet soap such as they are
used to at home is not issued to
the men. They have to provide this
for themselves, unless a thoughtful
relative wants to earn his blessing
by supplying it regularly.
1t is something that can be sent
ut fairly frequent intervals, too, be-
cause a soldier must be clean at all
times. It is better to send q single
bar often than several at . time,
however, because the men do not
have storage space for large guam

when somebody comes to play
with you give them your things.
1t is your duty. Besides you are
older and ought to know more than
a 2-year child"
Putting . 2-year and 4-year to
play together rarely works. The
4-year ought to be much more ex-
perienced than z years, and conse-
quently interested in play quite over
the head of 2 years. Three years
can manage with either If he gets
a little help, but help to adjust
things between him and 2 years he
will have to have.
Two years plays more as an In
dividual. He rolls his own ball and
gets it back again; he looks at his
own picture book and tells himself
a story. He holds tightly to his pos
sessions and does not understand
sharing anything. He is not con-
scious Of any duty to any one else,
nor of any pleasure in sharing ex-
periences with others. When more
than one 2-year -old is on the play
floor it is well to provide duplicate
toys.
AS they grow older children be-
gin, just begin, to want to play with
others, sharing toys and expert
ences. Very young children are
self -centered and remain so fol
several years, sometimes up to and
including the fifth year.
Although 1t is good to point te
other children, to indicate that
sharing Is a good way OF behavior
forcing such ways will do no good
Wait until growth permits the idea
to take hold.
Until that time 1t is unwise to
ask children of 2 and 4, 2 and 5. OF
and 8, to play nicely together
Their span OF experience is too wide
to be crossed. Each to his own is
best, for the time.

That 'Prim Look
Successfully
By Emily Post

Dy Emmy TOSI
To a young girl who writes me that
unhappily she has to wear glasses
in order to see anything at greater
distance than 8 feet, and yet hates
to wear them when she is going out
to dine or to a movie with a boy
friend because they make her look
prissily prim as well as five years
older. the answer depends upon how
much she can see without them.
II she can see her plate at table and
his face when she Is talking with
him, then she need put them on only
when she wants to see something at
Q distance. But she certainly will
prove herself lacking in good sense
not to put them on when necessary.
The present fashion for curious
Chinese outline and gay-colored
rims As, it seems to me, the perfect
answer to the girl who must wear
glasses or else walk around in a
fog. Obviously the gayer and more
amusingly shaped the rims. the
less possible can it be that she will
look either old or prim.
Dear Mrs. Post: Recently-in fact,
50 recently that still smart under
the memory-my husband and I
were invited to dinner. When we ar
rived at our hosts I was the only
woman in street-length dress. The
other women were all in long skirt,
bareback evening dresses. The men
were in business suits, having been
told by the host mot to dress"
was embarrassed and I let 1t
spoil my evening. I don't mean to
blame some one else for lack Of
knowledge If it was my own, but it
does seem to me that my hostess
should have told me that the women
were dressing. Will you discuss this
soon?
Answer-Since your husband was
told to wear a business suit, you
we're absolutely right to wear a'day
dress. Even If your hostess had
asked you to wear evening dress,
good taste would have exacted the
hybrid long skirt with shirtwaist
top which has plainly been designed
to overcome the shocking bad taste

lam Season.
Is Ruledby
Markets
Plentiful Produce
Now Regulates
Preserving
By Edith M. Barber

According to present information
housekeepers will be allowed extra
sugar for canning and preserving.
In most families the ration is care
fully used, and there will in any
case be small amount left over
which If put aside each week can
be used for preserving the fruits
now in season. 1t Is also possible
to substitute corn sirup for one
fourth of the sugar and honey for
one-half Of the sugar.
There is nothing better than good
strawberry jam, and I have two IA
vogite recipes. The success Of one
OF them depends upon the kindliness
Of the sun. One year I Just could
not get good berries and sun at the
same time and therefore I had to
be content with making only one
type Of jam that season.
The second type Is almost as good
as the first but does not have such
a beautiful color. 1t has the ad-
vantage that 1t can be made any
time that you find good fruit at a
low price. You will need just a
heavy kettle. a large wooden spoon
and measures for your fruit and
sugar. For the sun-cooked jam
you will need shallow pans and
sheets of window glass besides the
other utensils. OF course you must
have a place in the sun.
This type Of jam is really a pre-
serve, because the whole berries are
used. Crushed fruit is good for
jams such as raspberry and black
berry, but prefer the other type Of
preserve for Strawberries. Raspber-
ries may be done In the same way.
Seasons have been 20 upset by
modern transportation that We no
longer ind that local fruit Is always
less expensive than that from Q
distance. It all depends upon the
crops from various sections Of the
country. jam season, therefore, Is
at the time that you ind good bar
gains at the market.

NEW ORLEANS. June 22-Stan-
ford's Ted Schroeder cooked his eyes
toward a No. | national ranking
today and squared off here with "a
other guys-one of them also named
Ted-in the national intercollegiate
tennis tournament.
Schroeder. the top civilian racket
wileder at this time, ruled the fa-
vorite, but there were many who
couldn't discount two losses this sea-
son to that other Ted, namely, OLE
wine of Southern California.
Then the home town boys. while
looking for longer shot. could see
the singles crown resting on the
head of Earl Bartlett, 19-year -old
Southeastern Conference monarch
from the host school, Tulane.
Schroeder Seeded No. 1.
Schroeder was the fifth ranking
player in the last Official count and
at present of the four boys above
him two have turned to playing for
cash while the others have entered
the armed services. That leaves
Schroeder right up there in a bid
for an official No. ranking.
Schroeder drew the No. l post in
the seedlings, with Olewine in the
No. 2 spot, followed by Seymour
Greenberg Of Northwestern No. 3,
Bill Reedy of Southern California
No. 4. Harris Everett of North Caro-
lima No. S, Larry Dee of Stanford
No. 6, Bartlett No and John Hick-
man of Texas No. 8.
Schroeder, who holds the No. l
national doubles rating along with
Jack Kramer, was seeded on top in
the two-man event with his partner,
Dee. Next came Olewine and Reedy,
followed by Jim Wade and Emery
Neale of Stanford and Bartlett and
Lou Schopfer of Tulane.
Olewine Gets Early Action.
Olewine will be he first of the big
boys to see action when he meets
Walter Driver of Texas in one of
three preliminary matches needed to
cut the field to an even 80.
Olewine was the runnerup in last
years tourney, losing out to Joe
Hunter of the Naval Academy. He
then teamed with Charles Mailman
to take the doubles crown.
