Good Books Part
of Service Kit
By A ngelo Patri

Many young people today are In
the position of Dino, the boy who
went from high school into the Army
training school. When said he
ought to take along a few books and
read them In his spare time, reading
so carefully that he mastered their
contents, he said, "Why should I
bother my head with education any
more? What good will it do me?
I'm all through. I'll be doing what
I'm told to do. . That's all for me-"
1t is not all for Dino, or for any
other boy and girl in the service.
What Is all important for each of
them Is to enrich his mind as much
as possible so that wherever he goes,
whatever he does, he carries with
him a cultivated mind, a seasoned
intelligence, strengthened soul.
A man needs background for his
thinking. If behind his thought
there is only a thin, vague notion
of the bare fact in view, he can
do but little with it. It is as though
he had tool in his hand and knew
but the first simple elementary use
to be made of it. When his mind
is enriched by reading, seasoned by
experience, cultivated by contact
with other minds made possible by
his appreciation of what they offer,
his tool takes on world of meaning,
world Of possibilities, and his hori-
zon expands tremendously
No experience, however trifing It
may seem, is ever lost. It Is added to
the sum Of mans intelligence and
lends its weight to his power. School
IS not the only place to gain valuable
education. 1t is only one place, and
often but limited opportunity at
that. Outside it lies the world of
activity, just now, a world at war.
Opportunities for usefulness, for
gaining useful experience, for max
ing valuable acquaintances with peo-
pie and things, are overwhelming.
Education is to be had for the TAX
ing. 1t is offered on every hand; in
ships, in the sky, on the land, every
where. Factories, mills and trans
portation lines, farms, laboratories,
hospitals and schools-wide open
on every hand. Every new expert
ence opens a path for the learners
feet.
But, and this IS what is most i'm
portant for the youngsters, back
ground is needed for the interpreta-
ton Of the new experiences and the
background IS to be gained in good
reading, in thoughtful study, in in
vestigating the minds of those close
at hand in possession of knowledge.
You learn only what you can under
stand and to understand you must
have background of experience.
That is what the wise old teacher
meant when he said, "You learn only
what you know"

That Duration Home in Washington
Here's Hoe Smart Young Couple Soed

Imagination and sense of values
are worth their weight in gold in
putting a home together. Bob, a
young Navy lieutenant, and his wife
Toni have invested their gold" in
a duration apartment, which is so
attractive that they would rather go
home than anywhere else, and most
of their friends clamor to visit them.
Not knowing when the next move
might come, or where, they decided
to put their cash into good furni-
ture that would travel we'll. Bam-
boo seemed to be the answer.
Weighing almost nothing, the sofa,
deep chairs and ottoman may all be
Grated together. Spring cushions
and low lines make these quite as
comfortable as more bulky furniture.
The open framework makes the
room look more spacious, and rough
textured upholstery places color ac-
cents where they are needed. Toni
and Bob also decided that natural
wood color was probably the most
satisfactory finish to live with
through the years-in any environ
ment.
Their residence is in one of the
largest apartment developments in
the Washington environs, where
each unit is SO like the one next
door that they might have all been
turned out with a cookie cutter.
Bob's engineering skill produced a
floor plan for the living room that
makes this IL by 20 foot room seem
twice its size. Toni's unerring color
sense made the room scintillate with
turquoise, garnet red and clear
lemon yellow, set off with shining
black pottery against background
of natural wood, hand-woven mat
ting and gray-beige walls. Their
cooperative abilities have turned
this standard dwelling unit into
home with all the distinctive charm
of having been designed to indi-
vidual order.
inexpensive, unpainted sectional
bookcases and chests line one side
wall, the window wall and also make
a U-shaped corner which serves as
a writing desk. This completely
furnishes the room and makes the
usual bulky chests and tables un-
necessary, freeing all the floor space
for easy access from one functional
unit to another. Clever placing of
a group, including sofa, corner table
and chair, all with their backs to
the entrance door, creates the effect

| Why Grow
|Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Sometimes the appearance of
bowlegs comes from the fact that
the muscles of the upper leg are not
we'll developed rather than from q
fault in honey structure.
There is space between the
upper legs and this often is en-
barrassing to women when they put
on bathing suit. In such cases the
women should exercise to fill out the
inner muscles.
This above-described condition
often accompanies extreme under
weight. If this is true In your case,
of course, gain IN weight will
help, too.
The following exercise is good: Lie
on the edge of your bed on your
right side, far out on the edge. Let
your right leg hang down toward
the floor while your left leg rests on
the bed to keep you steady. Now lift
the right leg upward. Lower toward
floor. Continue lifting and lower
ing.
After a while turn onto the left
side on the left side of your bed.
Let the left leg hang down while
the right rests on the bed. Now lift
the left leg up. Lower to floor. Lift
up. Lower. Continue. This works
the inside leg muscles vigorously.
Another. Lie on the floor with
your legs straight and your arms
slightly out at your sides. Drag your
right leg out to the side as far as
comfortable. Drag it back to the
other leg. Continue dragging out
and back. Do not lift from the floor
Do the same thing with your left
leg.
1t is difficult for persons to un-
derstand that exercise tends to nor
malize and perfect the figure. Some
times the same exercise will work
off fatty deposits and at the same
time build contour. The exercises
I give you never build bulging mus
cles-they develop long, graceful
/ ones.

Answer-1f you have settled in q
community where the backdoor
neighbor is rife, the only thing YOU
can do Is to move away. For the
backdoor neighbor sins through
ignorance and not through inten.
ton. She doesn't mean the slipht-
est harm. On the contrary, her In
tentions are amiable and friendly,
She just hasn't been brought up to
observe the niceties of life and she
doesn't know that the unforgivable
SIN Is not respecting anothers pri-
vacy.
When men determined to cease
oelng savages, they formulated a
code Of conduct that we call conven.
lions, and when we break these We
upset the whole system that makes
1t possible for human beings to live
together In peace and HARMONY.
hence trouble begins when neigh.
oors violate this unwritten law.

a backdoor neighbor and could have
been prevented by the use of a little
formality, for those who ring the
doorbell and wait to be asked in see
and hear only what they are meant
to know
Better a neighborhood that has
the smallpox than backdoor neigh
bors, because you can quarantine
against that, but you can't keep out
the snoopy woman next door or
across the street.
Dear Dorothy Dix: I am engaged
to a girl who refuses to marry me
because her father and mothers
marriage was such a failure that she
is afraid of marriage. I have told
her that because her parents mar
riage was unsuccessful is no reason
why ours should be, but she isn't
willing to risk 1t.
What arguments can use to per-
suade her that every marriage is an
individual adventure and is happy,
or miserable, as a man and woman
make it? JACK.
Answer-Ask your girl If she is
going to refuse to eat meat because
people have died of ptomaine poi
soning? Will she never ride on a
railroad train because there have
been wrecks? Will she never 20 into
business because women have failed
as stenographers, bookkeepers or
what not?
There is nothing in the world that
is foolproof. But we can't stand
shivering on the banks of life. We
have to take our courage in our
hands, shut our eyes and leap In and
take our chances on drowning, or
winning the swimming medal. And
that is true of marriage as Of every
thing else.

little shelves which he built at either
side. The valance and shelves
were covered with the mating and
the edges faced with narrow strips
of bamboo The bamboo arrived as
roller for the mating rug, and
so useful was it that Toni put in a
bid with all of her friends to save
the bamboo sticks from their rugs,
too. Net result in a few months
was enough to make capacious
coffee table. A bamboo porch screen
serves in place of a Venetian blind
to cover the most ordinary windows.
Natural colored linen with PERU
Wan designs embroidered in blue
green, deep red, black and yellow
make the draperies and set the color
scheme for the whole room.
The sectional pieces are beauti-
fully sanded, shellacked, sanded
again and waxed to soft, satiny
finish. Prints OF famous Indian
portraits are placed on mats made
OF the mating and framed in bam-
boo. American Indian pottery, Kat
china dolls, woven plaques and
small metal accessories complete the
whole colorful picture. A fine old
Indian drum makes chair-side
table. A lamp base is made from
a burl of old wood picked up on the
beach after months of weathering.
Polished and FURNISHED, it looks like
old copper and fits perfectly into
this handmade" interior.
Books and magazines lend their
share Of design and color to the
whole plan. The floor plan illus
trates how cleverly every inch of
space had been utilized. The light

make no breaks in the continuity of
the room. Most practical point of
all is that everything comes apart,
bookcases can be turned into pack
ing crates, and the whole house
transported to new location with
none of the hand labor lost.
1t appears that many members of
our armed services are well on the
way toward becoming expert home
engineers and decorators in the
postwar world. Certainly they are
experts on how to make home
here today and somewhere else to-
morrow, and one which is tops in
charm and comfortable living.

a few ideas for longer hair styles
and remarked, in passing, that the
fashion trend was certainly to up
swept or close-cropped hair-dos, but
that the fashion world and many
American women might be wrong in
supposing that they were more ap-
propriately and attractively groomed
with abbreviated coiffures.
Maybe this man represents mas
culine opinion, we said in effect
Maybe even though we believe that
shorter hair styles are more in keep
ing with the busy lives that women
now lead, and more in step with
current fashions, we are quite wrong
after all.
Well, that did it. A day or so later
came letter from another gentle
man, who puts the blame for such
talk squarely on our own upsWept
head. He says:
my wife showed me your piece
In tonight's Star and I want to
write a protest against one mans
presuming to say that men prefer
long hair. Some men do, and some
men don't, and I think it is at least
two thirds who prefer short hair"
Our correspondent then goes on
to say that his Wife's hair is lovely,
but when 1t goes up into braids or
coils its beauty is lost and that it
should flow into its natural waves
instead of remaining long and
tightly bound. Then, he walls, Il
almost had her to the point where
she was ready to do as wish and
have 1t cut very short-when your
Antimely article spoiled everything.
She is proud of the fact that she
can sit on her hair, but that seems
to me an accomplishment Of dubious
value. I would prefer to see the
beautiful shape of her head and her
delicate ears set in the beautiful
texture of her hair, with her hair
two or three inches long. All day
song I see the shoulder length hair
of the girls in the Office where I
work and I never see any that would
not be more beautiful short. One
Or two girls have enough sense to
wear their hair really short, straight
or wavy, and they shine out among
the host of untidy down-hanging
mops like lilies in field of weeds"
The writer of the letter would like
the fashion to tend toward the CEN
ter or side part with short straight
bangs over the eyes, the hair way
ing down or back at the sides and
cut tapering or swirled in the back
20 it stops at the natural hairline.
I'VE believe in slightly more modi-
fed hair style for most women, for
straight bangs and very closely clip
ped hair are hard to wear. But 1t
has been our opinion for some time
Evening star., 1943-04-07

that flowing locks are on their way
out. Today's women just don't have
time to fuss with them. This we
had preached right along-as had
other members of the fashion world
but the first letter made us think
maybe we were not expressing the
general opinion. We can't agree
with the idea about straight bangs,
but we do think that shorter, sleeker
hair is the order of the day-and
that the wartime coiffure adopted
by smart women will go in that di-
rection. Our correspondent says
men like simplicity and naturalness
in hair styles and since I'VE have to
look at them, we should have some
opinions about them"
Anybody else want to fight?
Leaving, just for a moment, the
coiffure controversy, we'd like to
mention a word or two about a
visiting celebrity. She is in a local
store this week telling women about
that marvellous cream that covers
birthmarks and other facial blem-
ishes and give a smooth look to the
skin. This cream is not new, but
it's worth mentioning again, for
literally thousands of women have
found it the answer to prayer.
Perfectly safe to use, unless you
have an unusual allergy, it is ap-
piled like a foundation cream and
will stay on without cracking until
it is removed. The young lady who's
here to explain it more fully says it
has changed her whole life, for she
has large, prominent birthmark
all over one side of her face-and it
cannot be seen when her makeup is
applied.
She also told us the other day
that it's good for small blemishes
which so often make young girls
conscious and has even been
used successfully on children at
very early age. The originator of
this protective covering herself has
a birthmark, and the cream was
prepared for her own use. She re-
members from childhood the suffer-
ing and embarrassment which arose
from her blemished skin-and she
has spent lifetime trying to keep
that from happening to others.

Salt Fish Is
Unrdti6ned
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

Not every one appreciates salt fish
as it deserves. Perhaps one has
to have been introduced to it in
childhood to demand that Goldfish
cakes, creamed Goldfish with baked
potatoes, or salt mackerel baked in
milk, appear regularly on the home
.able. Finnan haddie seems to be
the one type of salt fish that men
Nike particularly, and that is prob
ably why it is a special during the
winter at so many fine restaurants.
Kippered herring is another favorite.
Barrels of salt mackerel were once
seen in every grocery but these are
not so common now, perhaps be-
cause we had come to depend SO
much on canned salmon and tuna
fish. Many salt mackerel addicts
now buy small buckets OF the fllleted
fish directly from Gloucester, Mass,
and keep them on hand. Sixteen
good sized f1llets can be bought for
So and there is no express charge
I usually cook one for person
and an extra one When I serve
them, I divide them into two por-
lions and then any left over can be
scalloped or made into cakes for
use the next day. BY the way, mack
erel Is a fat fish and needs no extra
shortening with 1t. Don't forget
that salt mackerel needs a long
soaking In water-at least IL hours.
Salt Goldfish, which always came
In wooden boxes, is now appearing
IN paper cartons. It can be soaked
for an hour or so, or can be scalded
with boiling water and cooked at
cnce. 1t is one of the few foods
which demands no more than a
plain cream sauce, although the
edition of sliced hard cooked eggs
makes it even more delicious. Then
! do like little minced parsley
for color as well as flavor Minced
green pepper if you have it on
hand will do. If you have sunny
window, there is no reason why you
cannot have pot of parsley grow
ing all the year round. Parsley
should be considered more than a
Earnish, as no green is richer in
,itamins.
Goldfish balls, which are my spe-
cial favorite, demand deep fat for
their cooking, but you can form the
mixture into cakes, and saute them
in Just a little fat. We have to
watch out for our use of fat now
adays!
