HOUSES ADD VARIETY

The Jumper dress has become a
year-round favorite. Worn IN sum-
mer with sheer white blouses. ana
in winter with heavier colored
blouses. the jumper makes 1t pos
sible to get along with fewer clothes
without looking like that same old
dress"
Even greater variety can be OBJ
tanned by different types OF blouses.
The tailored blouse. with plain
turnover collar. is appropriate for
all occasions. and the blouse with
ripping frill down the front. or
a wide ruffle for a collar is for more
dressv dates.
Choose blouses that are wash
able. That doesn't mean they must
be white. Most colored rayons as
we'll as colored cottons take TO
water like a duck. Wash them as
soon as the neckline. which soils
quickest, shows signs of dirt. even
IL the rest of the blouse looks fairly
clean. One of the reasons for this
Is conservation. The less rubbing
you have TO do on any part OF the
blouse. the longer the blouse will
last. 4
White cotton blouses are perkier
IL starched lightly. Some girls pre-
fer to keep the tuck-in part of the
blouse unstarched. so 1t will liz
fiatter under the Jumper. This can
be arranged by dipping only the
top part into the starch.

Scientist Shows
Race Theories
Are False
By JEROME VI. DREIFUSS


WITH the vast increase OF air
w travel. this world Will find itself
more closely bound together than
ever We have learned all too sadly.
that this does not always make for
better understanding, but often for
bitter misunderstanding. The cause
is often the prejudice that one race
has against another. Hair color.
skin. shape OF head. religious be-
liefS, all sorts of items promulgate
this antaeonism.
The study OF races is the field OF
the anthropologiSt. Outstanding in
this field is Dr. Ruth Benedict.
whose noted book on the subject.
Race: Science and Politics" is re-
garded as the most lucid eXplana-
ton Of the problem for the layman.
Mrs. Benedict's own background is
interesting. because she traces her
ancestry TO pre- Revolutionary an
tecedents on both sides Of her
family. Her farm in upstate New
York has been in her family for six
generations.
She began work in anthropology
in 1919. has taught IN the graduate
school Of Columbia University for
II years. where she is associate pro-
feSsor OF anthropology Her huS-
band was the late Stanley r. Bene-
dict. distinguished bioChemiSt. DR..

Der and leader Of many diStin-
guished scientific societies, she was
one of three women in 1890 hon.

Science.
Race: Science and Politics"
proves we are all a mixture of many
races. that there is no such thing as
pure strain, and our Characters
tics are hopelessly mingled. We do
not inherit traits, they come only
through environment. There ism
any such thing as a master race"
that our mental differences are So
Cial and created, not inherited. she
maintains.
Says DR.. Benedict: The move
mentS OF peoples over the lace or
the earth inevitably produce race
mixture and have produced 1t since
before history began. No one has
been able 20 adduce evidence of its
inherent evil. II has sometimes been
a social advantage. sometimes a
rum ing sore threatening the
health of the whole society II can
obviously be made a social evil. and.
where 1t is so. sensible people will
avoid contributions to it and grieve
If their children make such ALI
ances We must live in the world as
It is"
Again. speaking on race preiu-
dice, in a brilliant analysis: In
order to understand race persecu-
ton. we do not need TO investigate
race, we need TO investigate perse-
cution. Persecution was an old, old
story before raci m was ever

DR. Benedict's solution of the diff
fcult problem of racism is. demo-
cratic opportunity for the privi-
legged and for the underprivileged."
