BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Great ac- 1 tivity in our harbor cities east and west will be noted in coming weeks. Increased speeding of production in war industries will be evident i through the autumn. Success of United Nations will stimulate work CTS in all parts of this great coun- 1 try. In the national capital effic- iency will be improved among cleri- cal employees who have been ham, pered by red tape and outgrown methods of transacting the business of the people.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Subordin- ation of personal ambitions to na- tional needs will be advocated by press and radio as political aims be- come apparent in the foreshadowing of legislation before the reassembled Congress. There are planetary in- fluences read as threatening to na- tional welfare in the most critical period of United States history. Danger of retirement will be a bogey Ahampering to efforts of statesmen who carry heavy respon- abilities, but there are reassuring aspects which seem to presage for tunate issues after each conflict of opinion. Directorial methods will be eliminated as far as possible under war emergencies which per- init of no hesitancy in making de- cisions for far-reaching effects.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S : Astrologers who read the horoscope of Emperor Hirohito of Japan find that Neptune in square to the Sun Ipresaged the heavy defeats inflicted by United Nations.

Here's good news for girls who
feel they cannot get along without
such beauty gadgets as tweezeys
and eyelash curriers'. Though the
companies that made them are now
making things for war. they will be
glad to repair instruments returned
to the factory. This Is true Of your
fine atomizers. too. Just check your
phone directory for the local repre-
sentative OF the company that
made yours. and he will see that It
Is repaired for small fee. Some OF
the larger stores. Of course. still
have some Of the items that are no

A man is always presented to a wo-
man and not the other way around.
This means that the woman's name
should be mentioned first. Also, in
introducing members of the family.

ANS w Err: There is no rule
against sending baked potatoes to
the table uncut and unprepared for
eating. But the incest way to serve
them is cut. Score the potato
lengthwise and press the potato
with the fingers to loosen it slightly
and open up the cut section: add
seasoning and butter. then serve.

Eggs also are excellent body
builders. Give the child at least
four to five eggs a week, serving
them soft-cooked, poached, baked

It is easy to include the minimum
daily requirement of four servings
of fresh fruit and vegetables. II you
serve a fruit for breakfast, a vege-
table at noon and again at night,
and fruit dessert at one meal.
Green leafy vegetables and yellow
vegetables are preferred. Citrus

vitamin must be supplied to the

which she looks and sounds the

DR.. Ellice Mcdonald. chairman
OF the cancer research committee
of the University Of Pennsylvania.
does not think that cancer is due
to germs or that cancer cells are
something foreign to the body. He
considers cancer cell an ordinary
body cell that is compelled to live
in the wrong liquid environment.
New Cancer Theory
The trouble with this liquid me-
dunn comes from an excess Of
alkali and a low content Of calcium
in the blood. DR.. Mcdonald con-
tends that the good results some
times following from radium and
X-ray treatments are due to the
decrease of alkali and increase OF
acid in the blood after their ap-
plication.
One Of the positive indications OF
cancer Of the stomach is the entire
absence of hydrochloric acid in
such a stomach. According to his
theory, an individual suffering
from acidoSis will not develop cam
Ger. When a body cell finds itself
in highly alkaline medium. 1t acts
like a yeast cell. It multiplies and
splits up and forms more cells and
q tumor forms.
The search is also for some form
Of calcium that will decrease the
alkalinity. This is just another ap-
proach to the cancer question
which may lead somewhere in our
incessant seeking after a better &C
quaintance with cancer formations.

There will be less strain on the
precious rubber. however, and,
what's more, the garment will keep
it's shape longer and give you great
er wearing comfort.
II possible, stretch your clothes
budget to include duplicate. so
you will not have to wear your
girdle day after day. It's better
to alternate them so one has q
chance to regain its natural shape
while the other is doing the work.
Be careful about getting into and
out Of these snug garments that do
so much to flatter your figure and
help the fit of your clothes. II
you're built on substantial lines
above. always step into your girdle,
first making sure that any zippers
or snaps are open. II you're def
initely on the hippy side, better
pull on your girdle over your head.
Now Take 1t Easy!
Wiggle in cautiously until you're
past the danger points. Do not
place too great strain on any por-
ton of the garment, but ease it
into place little here and little
there.
Finally, standing in your very
best posture, anchor the girdle into
place with upper. hooks or laces
and hose supporters.
Be careful how you hold the gar
ment, especially when you step into
it and pull it UP over the hips. Hold
it firmly with the soft fleshy por-
tions of fingers and thumbs. Never
use the fingernailed ends which
might puncture or weaken the
strands of elastic. OF course, you
shouldn't use fingernails for an
other reason, toO-you're likely to
break or otherwise injure them. AS
you work the girdle into place, keep
moving hands into new positions.
so too much strain will not be
placed on any one spot.
Launder with the greatest care
bland soap, tepid water. thor
ough rinsing. Wash 1t often. as per-
spiration. body oils and powder
tend to make the rubber deterior-
ate. Squeeze soapsuds through the
mesh. Heavier garments may be
scrubbed carefully with well lath-
cred bath or hand brush.
Don't Iron II!
Rinse several times and roll In q
towel to remove excess moisture.
Then stretch back into original
shape and hang 1t up to dry, or bet
ter still, put 1t on a girdle form
adjusted to your measurements.
Never dry it near steam heat or
an open fire. And don't iron. II you
insist. you may press all cloth por-
lions, but do not touch the elastic
even with a warm iron.
A girdle serves as a gentle remin-
der to watch your posture.
Watch out especially when you
sit down. Slump and notice what
it does to your corset! Those plant
UP and down stays and seams will
slant. curve and twist out Of shape.
Greater strain on certain parts Of
the garment will cause strands Of
elastic to weaken and finally break.
Trained corsetieres will help you
choose the type Of girdle best for
your figure. Nevertheless. do not
expect it to do miracles for you.
Teach your own natural girdle Of
muscles to do some Of the work Of
holding abdomen fiat. midriff slim,
hips and thighs Arm and free from
pads Of unnecessary fat. Daily ex-
ercise is the answer-at least Is
minutes OF 1t before you put on the

SHEET PRESERVATION

To make sheets last longer don't
iron them double. Research at the
American Institute Of Laundering
has proved that the best method u
to iron only one thickness at time
until the sheet Is thoroughly dry.
Then fold 1t and press lightly along
the creases with your hands. Press
ing the folds with q hot iron weak
ems the fabric. Professional laun-
dries use fiat work ironer through
which sheets are fed In single
thickness. Coming through the
padded rollers. the sheets are
caught by girls who fold them TO
their rroper size. Then Is tho
sheets are stacked the girls run
their hands lightly along the
creases to set them and give them .
crisp. neat appearance.
