By the Way

"A good knowledge Of nutrition
will help you eat in any coun-
try" says Mrs. Milton E. Miles.
who Is chairman of nutrition for
the District Of Columbia Chapter
Of the American Red Cross. And
Mrs. Miles should know, for she
has knowledge Of nutrition and
she has been in q great many
different countries.
For three years the Miles family
lived in China when Capt. Miles
(of the United States Navy was
on duty there, and in 1899, Just two
months before Hitler marched
into Poland, Capt. Miles was
ordered back to Washington.
Coming out Of China, Capt. and
Mrs. Miles and their three husky
young sons NOW 8, II and IA, re-
spectively) rode over the Burma
road in a munitions truck! They
went to Iran and to Afghanistan
and everywhere they went they
dncluding the boys) ate the ma
tive food and not only ate 1t but
liked It!
For the last year that Mrs.
Miles was in China she taught
nutrition to . group Of young
Chinese YWCA women. Taught
them through an interpreter, she
says. We asked II she spoke
Chinese at all. "Only enough to
manage with her own housekeep-
ing" she told US.
After Pearl Harbor Capt. Miles
was ordered away to active duty
and Mrs. Miles volunteered her
services to the Red Cross. Her
qualifications for nutrition were
ample-aside from the teaching,
she had gotten a B. S. degree
from Cornell University and an
M. s. from Columbia (this after
her marriage. At first she
worked under Mrs. Sherman
Trowbridge, and then when
nutrition was divided from Can
teen she was made chairman OF
the nutrition section.
One Of the most important
things about the community
service end OF this work, she
feels, Is to allay peoples fears
about lack OF food. To teach
them that If one food item isn't
available there are always sub
stitutes. Once a week, she told
us, a nutrition talk is given fby
the Red Cross at the Child Well
fare Clinic of the Children's
Hospital . just a short talk and
a demonstration given to
patients as they wait to see the
doctors. Red Cross Nutrition also
assists the WPB with their nutri-
ton programs. Recently the
WPB put in some healthful eat
ing propaganda slides at one side
OF their cafeteria, then Red Cross
dietitian aides checked and COM
pared the trays of the line of
people who had seen the slides
and the line of people who hadn' t.
There were twice as many grade
A trays in the line who had seen
the slides, twice as few grade D
trays, and so many people took
milk, after seeing what 1t could
do for their health, that the milk
ran out! People do want to learn
to eat for health. you see.

margin during the last II months

According to the records of COM

the long range darts brought about
the application for S5S marriage Ii
censes but the divorce score was
much lower. In 1912 there were 33S
petitions for divorce in Allen county
but of this number filed, only 210

Compared with 194l, the picture
was not so favorable. At that time
254 divorce proceedings were filed

County's Financial
Condition Good

Allen county is in its best financial
condition for the past % years.
This was proclaimed by Floyd
Griffin, Allen county auditor as 1912
neared its close. "We are finishing
AZ with a balance of s125,000'', ex-
planned Griffin. He added that the
schools, both city and county, were
in splendid financial shape. Of all
angles to be considered, Griffin said
he could recall but cone fly in the
ointment" That was the Westwood
and Lost Greek additions. There are
seven years of assessments to go too
before that situation is cleaned up
and at present the taxes are still
excessive for the value of the lots,
said Griffin.
