from Roane Waring, national

activities in the current coal min
ers strike, saying that only after

posed of could the labor question
be settled.
Commander Waring, looking
forward to a victorious peace,
told the Legionnaires that when
we write the peace, it will be a
dictated peace-not a negotiated
peace.
Later, to win the war;" he
continued, 1--WE must not only re-
move the leaders of Germany,
Italy and Japan, but We must ut

ologies, and before that is done
our casualties, now already co.

Diminutive

A Fine Seam

about the art than we did a

In spite of all her dazzling
night life. she actually sewS a
fine seam 10 the extent of
fashioning every stitch of her
wardrobe.
THE AWE-INSPIRING angle
OF all this is that Chicqulta
makes all her dresses by hand,
in her hotel or dressing room,
as the case may be.
When she's in mad rush on
costume, TO have il ready for a
picture or a performance, the
sewing machine gets an airing
:. but otherwise it rusts in the
corner.
And no helping hands are
called in even to hang the
hemline. This buffaloing task
she masters by laying the dress.
hanger and all, on the floor and
shipping merrily away on what
seems to be the right length. 1t
never fails!
CHICQUITA HAS other wiles
that would shock the conscien-
tious seamstreSs. For instance,

sors is always concealed under
a terrific scattering of seQuins

OF course, Chicquita and
sequins are darn good company,
anyway. You'll find tirem on her

sometimes screwed on, but
usually just glued.

She had enough money to buy
yard goods for a costume
and that's all. But she landed
a job. thanks to a red and green

Three weeks ago. she decided
to try hats, and thus bought

Put Nutrition First

It's no saving to buy meals
that are so inadequate they send
you into a slump twice a day.
You have to give good nutrition
its due.
Maybe you are making more
money than you were. Use
some Of it for the food that lets
you get a kick out of your
work. 1 hear you are going in
for expensive perfumes. That's
all right, too. If a really luxury
perfume is something YOU have
always longed for you should
have it. But put nutrition first.
If you are making the same
salary. it's harder for you. Pro-
portionately more Of your earn
ingS have to go into food-and
you have your eye on a gay
new print, too! But there's no
dress created that can pick you
up when you are mainourished.
Have Three Good Meals
Whatever your job, you are
working harder and you are
under greater strain today We
all are. So have three good
meals a day, every day.
Always have a green vegetable
or yellow vegetable Now that
butter isn't so plentiful, these
SorceS of vitamin A have taken
on added Importance.
Have two fruits, one A citrus
fruit or tomato juice; an egg,
a serving of meat, fish, fowl or
cheese; two glasses of milk and
whole grain or enriched bread.
You can't get along without
that list.

Skip Breakfast

y
tear? The meal you slight most
is breakfast, Some of you never
eat it! And I'm afraid the ma
jority of you who do eat break
fast try TO get by with a sweet
roll and coffee.
Any food is better than none.
But if you want IL o'clock in
the morning to mark a high
energy level instead of a let
down, you'll start out with a
good meal-fruit juice, an egg
and whole wheat toast or a
whole grain cereal with milk,
and coffee.
Lunch is apt to be another
lop-sided, carbohydrate meal.
If it is, there goes your 3 o'clock
energy peak! Just when you
should be going strong, you will
feel like the end of the day.
OF course, you don't want a
heavy meal that would slow you
down. But you do need foods
that stay by you and give you
the energy for your work.
You can have a sandwich, a
glass of milk and fruit, or or
der the days special" some
protein dish-meat, fish. eggs
or cheese--a vegetable, bever-
age and some light dessert.
Either Of those lunches is nu-
trifious and less expensive than

TRAFFIC, ACCIDENTS In
NOVEMBER

During the month of November
1852 traffic accidents on the streets
and highways of Maryland were re-
ported to the Traffic Collision Sta
tistical Bureau. These accidents
were responsible for 80 deaths and
629 personal injuries. This was a
reduction of $3.50 in accidents and
injuries, and $50 in fatalities is
attributed to the reduction of speed
from SO and SIS miles per hour to
present Victory Speed of 35 miles
per hour. The 80 traffic deaths this
year with the IS miles per hour
speed limit against the "a deaths
last November with the higher
speed limits bears out the state
ment 1.-THE greater the speed the
more serious the accident.
Sixty-three percent of those kill
ed were pedestrians-13 in Balti-
more City, out of 16 deaths, and
IN the Counties, out of IA deaths, in
dicating that pedestrian education
in traffic safety has either been sad
ly neglected or too lightly taken by
the victims.
Fifteen counties experienced a
fatality-free month, and two coun-
ties, Dorchester and Queen Anne,
experienced a fatality and injury
free month. Only four towns outside
OF Baltimore City experienced fatal
ities--Hagerstown Brunswick, POGO
moke and Sparrows Point, fat
ality each
Governor O'Conor, the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission, and
other State and Local Agencies in
terested in traffic safety are highly
pleased at this excellent record and
express their appreciation to the
motorists of the State for their CO.
operation in helping make the
streets and highways of the State
safe for the motoring and pedes-
trian public.
At the present time with the crit
ical shortage of petroleum products
of all kinds, motor vehicle owners
are requested not to use their cars
except when absolutely necessary,
and then to maintain speeds well
under 80 miles per hour.

HOUSEWIVES URGED TO BUZZ
FRESH FOODS TO CON-
SERVE CAN-METAL
FOR WAR

Cecil County housewives can save
enough steel for 2,191 machine
guns simply by replacing one can
of fruits or vegetables week dur
ing the next year with fresh or
home packed produce, leading
food distributor estimated
This substitution, urged by the
War Production Board, will not only
save steel but also conserve food
by using extra supplies of fresh pro-
duce made available by increased
production, canning restrictions
and reduced storage facilities" ac-
cording to Earl r. French, market
ing director of A & P's produce
buying affiliate, the Atlantic Com
mission Company.
A number two Tin" can averages
.235 pounds of steel plus small
amount of tin, and single family
can save 1872 pounds of steel in
year by the can-a-week reduction,
French said Thus Cecil County's
6,287 families can save 76,701 lbs.
of steel, enough to make 2,191 thir-
ty-calibre machine guns, each re-
quiring 35 pounds of steel for manu-
facture, he pointed out.
Reduced buying of canned pro-
duce doesn't mean reducing food
consumption. Housewives can bal
ance their family diets by serving
more fresh produce, and our records
show that many families are al
ready doing this American farmers
last year moved 142,372 carlots of
fresh fruits and vegetables to con-
sumers through the Atlantic Com
mission Company, 10 per cent more
than in 1910 and an all-time high
record, and present indications are
that they will move as much or
more this year., French said.
The program would save $780,
273 pounds of steel if carried out
by all of Maryland's 433,629 fam
lilies, it was brought out. On ma
tional basis, Americas 31,000,000
families could save enough steel to
make 5000 medium tanks or SO
Liberty freight ships, and enough
tin for 100000 75mm. howitzers.
