THE WOMEN-
Needed: A Red Light To Stop.
Bores, Gossip And Bickering

would the man who thinks his
listeners don't know what 1t is all
about and talks to them as though
he were lecturing to college fresh
men.
The white light would flash when
a woman gets started on her family
and what remarkable tribe it is
And it would flash for the man who
knows how the war ought to be
run and runs it every time he can
get the ear of anybody without
nerve enough to squelch him.
WOULD INSURE
REAL PEACE
The red and white light would
flash suddenly when a woman
starts some malicious gossip, when
a husband and wife begin to bicker
or when any one starts making Of
fenSive generalities.
And the red Nighttime for re-
cesS-would come in handy when
an argument reaches the place
where everybody thinks the other
fellow is hopeless.
The red light would prevent many
broken friendships. numerous fist
f1ghts-and it might even prevent
few such tragedies as that recent
enc in California where an argu-
ment between two retired majors
resulted in death.

PANCAKES IN THE HEALTH
DIET

Now that we have appeased the
insistent demand for coffee in the
model health diet breakfast menu,
some people are pressing for fur
Their concessions. They assume, evil
IDENTIFY, that having abated a jot to
admit coffee we can be wEeedled
into abating a little to sanction
the serving of buckwheat pancakes
with maple syrup.
My firm resolution TO avade dis
cussion of that was weakened by
the arrival Of a sack of famous
buckwheat flour straight from the
great mills in Penn Yam, N. Y
and don't tell me there Is no such
place, for J practiced there for four
extremely hard-up but happy years,
in the very shadow Of the great
-four mills. Oddly enough, almost
simultaneously, darn it, came gall
lon Of maple syrup straight from
the sugar bush at Milan, Pa, where
Vermonters go when they banker
after a taste of the real thing.
Well, now, in a case like that the
only thing to. do is hunt around for
an old fashioned woman who can
remember how to make genuine
without any of this id saleratus
yeast-raised buckwheat pancakes
or baking powder monkey business.
I'm still looking around.
It is a lost art, apparently.
Aside from the appetizing don't
you think?) flavor of yeast-raised
buckwheat pancakes well buttered
and submerged in great puddles of
.undoctored maple syrup-but then,
you wouldn't know unless you've
lived or sojourned where they grow
buckwheat and maple syrup-this
carbohydrate gorge upsets the ball
ance less than any other know Of
less than ordinary white flour
flapjacks or pancakes containing
more or less white flour, waffles,
biscuit, toast, corn meal cakes and
the like.
Ounce for ounce buckwheat is as
rich in vitanin B complex as plain
wheat, except that it contains about
half as much calcium as plain
wheat does. Plain wheat is wheat
from which nothing is removed in
the cracking or grinding or milling.
So if you are going to break
your diet you could and probably
will do a lot worse than indulge in
two or three stacks of yeast-raised
buckwheat pancakes decorated with
pure nipple syrup. The buckwheat
is one Of the richest food sources OF
the much needed vitamin B COM
pick and the maple syrup is an ex-
cellent source of food iron. In short
my prescription for that tired feel
ing, with which so many Of us poor
ly nourished men suffer nowadays,
is one-half dozen yeaSt-raised buck
wheat pancakes with maple syrup
and butter and godo coffee for
breakfast about three mornings
whenever you can get 'em.

There is a warden in charge of
every hostel Most Of them are

Hut stewardesses in each unit are
carefully selected; they must be
tactful, motherly, and understand
the many problems awaiting the

Household Hints

In, the Midlands, England.--If I
were one of Great Britain's women
conscripts of the 20 to 81 class,
would keep my fingers crossed and
hope I would be lucky enough to be
sent to one Of the new government
hostels for war industry workers.
I spent a day and a night in one
just to find out what 1t was like,
also to note what would be the
recruits reactions to their new
way Of living.
First impressions are important.
Mine was a mingling Of astonish-
ment and pleasure. I had imagined
something on the order of army
huts, but these hostels remind you
Of the more comfortable kind OF
holiday-c camps or even something
on a movie location. There is
absolutely nothing of the "insti-
tuition" about them, either. They
are really wonderful.
I arrived on a Saturday after
noon. The morning shift of girls
had just returned from the nearby
factory, one of the largest arm
amentS works in England. There
was a good hot meal waiting for
them--a plate of meat and veg
etables a dessert or cheese, with
tea, of course.

HOSTEL HAS
"GLAMOR ROOM"

Most Of the girls scattered after
that. Some went to their rooms to
mend, write letters or just rest;
Others ran to get the bus for the
neighboring town to see movie and
do some shopping; a few drifted
into the gameS-room for shuttle
beard or darts.
Among the many facilities pro-
vided by the hostels are wash
rooms with individual y drying
racks where the girls can launder
and press their clothes. There is
also a "glamor room" where they
can wash their hair, sit under
electric dryers and apply makeup.
The central unit of the building
boasts Of a large dance hall with
parquet floor and a stage. In the
entrance, sewing requisites, books
and magazines are on sale.
There is also a Cafeteria going
