Mrs. II. +. D.:-How many
hours Of sleep does a 6-year-old
child require-having started TO
school this fall?
Answer: DR.. Louis w. Sauer,
one of the most prominent child
specialists of Chicago. believes
that a child of this age should
have 10 TO y hours of sleep at
night and possibly a rest period
in the afternoon is also neces-
safy.
C.S.-Is it possible for a per-
son 10 be allergic 10 cats? 1t
occurs TO me that since we got
our kitten / have had a persist
ent cold. Is this only imagina-
ton?
Answer: Certainly it is pos
Sible for people to be allergic TO
cats.
In fact. one of the first de-
ScriptionS of allergy is by Henry
Hyde Salter. an English phySi-
clan. who described his own case
Oh asthma que 10 the proximity
Of the domestic cat.
All his colleagues made fun of
the idea, but time has proved
that he was right.
Daily Reader-When a person
has had tubercu losis and is
cured. is it likely to return. or is
the individual immune TO tuber-
culoSis?
Answcr-Thc whole answer to
this question depends upon the

Weight
Problem
BY DIR. Logan CIendening

ii was evident that the first step
in treatment would be TO reduce
the weight 30 TO 40 pounds; this
would lessen the load on the
heart and prevent it from pump
ing blood over such a large area.
Another condition related to
overweight is gallbladder dis
case, gallstones, and so on,
4 DDED danger is the fact
"A that if an operation is neces-
Sary, the overweight person is
far less resistant TO infections
than those of normal weight.
Our Lenten reducing diet we
have planned so far as we are
able 10 predict rood rationing.
Many foods that are ideal for
a reducing diet are TO be with
drawn from the market, but
probably during Lent you can
still get some of them.
SO here Is your chance.

ByrOn's Kiss
Quoted for Her
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1943-02-19

What l myself saw in my four
years in Europe gave me new
realization of the priceless rights
which we here enjoy.
No secret police can in the night
whlsk us away, never again to be
seen by those we love.
None of us can be deprived by any
party, state or ty:ant of those pre-
cious civil liberties which our laws
and our courts guarantee.
None of us can be prosecuted for
practicing the faith which we found
at our mothers knee.
None of us can be prosecuted, tor
tured or killed because of the fact
that an accident of fate might have
made us of the same race as the
NaZarene
No American can be placed by
any party or government in a regi-
mented wise which takes from him
or her either freedom of economic
opportunity or political religious lib
erty.
What would the millions of unfor-
tunate men, women and children in
Europe give to be able to live and
enjoy such a way of life?
Well, in this war, those are the
things in our lives which are in
jeopardy. Our boys are dying to pre-
serve them for US.
Then we can do no less than to
"say yes" and fill those war stamp
albums. 1t is our duty and privilege
to help the secretary of the treasury,
Mr.. Morgenthau, in his magnificent
effort to do the tremendous jot Of
getting the money to keep our boys
supplied with the weapons with
which to fight our fight.
Surely that is little enough for u
to do on the home front.

WHERE The SHOE PINCHES

The official explanation given
for rationing of shoes is h e

the best quality Of which for
some time has been going, and
rightly so, into military channels.
But in addition to this reason is
the fact that the surplus curchas-
ing power now in the hands of
American war workers is burn
ing holes in some pockets.
1t has already done some OBJ
yious things to food market. 1t is
perfectly capable of starting q
run on shoes. or any other item.
Until this purchasing power can
be captured by taxes or enforced
savings. t must be countered
with such expedients a price
ceilings and rationing. The dan
ger of holding back on rationing
until a run starts is that reserve
stocks of a given item may be
drained off and unfairly distri-
buted before the control is ap.
piled. Economic S ia b ilzer
Byrnes is of the opinion this has
not occurred yet in shoes. Ger
tainly the methad of applying
this rationing was entirely laud-
able. The safe course is to ap-
ply rationing before the threat
manifests itself. This is not
pleasant, nor is it easy, but the
situation demands it.
The instance of shoes suggests
more about the American war
economy than appears on tn
surface. While many will feel
that being limited to three pairs
of shoes a year is no hardship.
the fact remains this represents
a drop in 1913 sales of some
100000, 900 pairs of shoes, and
production this year will be cut
about 10000. 900 pairs under last
years $50, 900, 900 pairs.
This means that Americans in
general must get along with
fewer shoes, not because they
lack money to buy them, but be.
cause there are fewer being man
ufactured.
Flat limitation of production, in
shoes or any other commodity. is
a new experience for Americans.

New York, June 23-(UP)-Man-
ager Ossie Bluege rates outfiedlder
Bob johnson the key performer in
the Senators challenge for the
American league pennant.
Discussing his Washington squad
after yesterdays victory over the
Yanks, Ossie said, Everyone on the
club is playing good ball, but the
standout S Bob johnson.
'Bob's batting average is not SEN
sational; I believe he's hitting in
the 26Os. But his hitting has been
timely; he has been driving in runs.
And he's been playing excellently in
the field. But even more important
is the inspiration which his hustle
and determination has given the
other players
Johnson, the 34-year- Cherokee
Indian slugger whose triple won
yesterdays game after Mickey Ver-
non had set the stage, came to the
Senators on March 81 in deal with
the Athletics. Bob had played with
Connie Mack's Philadelphia outfit
for 10 years. And he probably still
would be with the AS were it not
for a dispute with ancient Connie
over an expected bonus as a result
of attendance at the AS home
games last season. Johnson refused
to sign his contract for 1943 because
he didn't receive the bonus. Ac-
cordingly he was traded to Wash
ington for infielders Roberto Es
talella and Jimmy Pofahl. Pofahl
refused to report to the AS, having
taken a defense job, and Washing
ton gave Mack some cash instead.
Everyone wondered at the time
how johnson would react to his first
change of uniform since coming to
the majors in 1888. Apparently his
reaction has been excellent. He has
driven in "a runs so far, to rank
fourth in the majors in that depart
ment. Last season he drove in 30
with the Athletics, his smallest
number during the decade with the
Mackmen. He accounted for 121 in
1886.
Manager Biuege is delighted with
the Cherokee's achievements as
well as the play Of his other per-
formers. Osise said, "Our boys have
made more errors than any club in
the league, but most of those errors
were made when they didn't hurt
us. We've been getting only fair
hitting, but our hits were timely
resulting in runs. And our pitching
has been much better than expected.
Carrasquel Candini, Leonard and
Wynn have come through fine. Pyle
was going good until a couple of
weeks ago. Also Mertz and Haefner
have helped. You might even say
that pitching has been our strong
point"
Milo Candini, a cast-off of the
Yankee farm system, now leads the
league with six straight mound vic
tories. He has suffered no recur-
renee of arm trouble this season
because, according to Bluege, he has
been watched carefully by trainer
Make Martin and because OSsie
"nursed him along" refusing to let
him pitch in cold weather and NOV
ing him in to a starters berth grad

New York, June % O.P) -
The South and East are being
struck hardest in a war-enforced
blackout of intercollegiate football
due to lack of players. coaches
and transportation facilities, sur
very showed today.
With both major gridiron powers
and smaller schools daily joining
the growing list of colleges that
have been forced to abandon the
game for the duration, the majority
of name" casualties to date have
been in the south. Five football fac
tories below the Mason-Dixon line
have closed and six others are
threatened.
Harvard is the casts biggest loss,
along with Duquesne. but prospects
of. play are poor for Villanova,
Fordham, Boston College, and Man
haitian. The midwest and west
have had no big-time shutdowns,
but the outlook is dark at Stanford,
and Iowa.
The situation is critical in the
south, particularly for the south
eastern conference. This may be the
first top-flight circuit to bow out.
Four southeastern conference
powers Mississippi, Vanderbilt,
Mississippi State and Florida-al-
ready have cancelled the sport. In
dications are that Auburn,
Georgia'S rose boWlers, Kentucky
and Tennessee will follow suit, leav-
ing LSU, Tulane, Georgia Tech and
Alabama to carry on. Definite &C
ton is expected at Thursdays con-

are on the fence in the southwest
