ke Urges Workers To Safeguard Their ains Standard
(Continued from Page One)

(OOntlnueQ from rage One) had been transplanted by human pack trains from enemy occupied areas; in Russia with the enemy pressing in from all sides relentlessly.
 Yet, they all know that despite their courage and determination they must look to American labor and industry to augment their ef- forts-and they look our way with confidence, confidence that you have justified.
 But there is still another respOn- sibility which American labor has to fulfill. Nowhere have working men and women achieved the social gains that have been won by Amer ican labor, and all look to you to hold fast to those advances-tO establish once and for all a set of standards toward which they may work in the years to come.
 And so 1t would seem to me that on this day, dedicated to the working men and women of America, labor should firmly resolve that these gains, made after long years of struggle, shall not be impaired or lost com plete1y either in the heat and turmoil of war or in the welter of confusion that well may follow.
 In this resolution all thoughtful Americans will join. For the hope of any society, particularly an in- dustrial one, lies in steadily rais- ing the standards of those who work and in constantly expanding the social projections. Legislation, which restrains or attempts to drive backward such natural progress, is not only detrimental to labor but has an equally harmful effect on the entire nation.
 I ann happy to have this Oppor- tunity of adding my cOngratula- tions to labor on this, its day. The nation is proud of your patriotism and of the magnificent contribution you are making toward the winning of this war. We will not forget.

PROBLEM FOR PARENTS
The report. by the Jewish Social
Service Association and the Jewish
Family Welfare Society, points out
that teen-age boys and girls in in.
creasing numbers, because of war
marriages or because they have be-
come wage earners, are FIVE or even
ten years ahead of their age levels
IN responsibilities and duties.
That report is something for par
ents of adolescents to think about.
IT your son Is almost old enough
for the army, and protests that you
treat him like child-perhaps you
do. Perhaps, you should mentally
add five years to his age and treat
him on that level.
Whether or not this rapid grow
mg-up Is good or bad for teen
ayers 1t seems to be a fact that
parents must face. Otherwise they
may find themselves completely
alienated from their children.

Use UnratiOned
Fats For
Baking Cakes
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

You can make cakes and chick
en- fat or home rendered lard, using
all fat or half fat and half butter
for the amount of shortening speci-
fled In the recipe. Spice cakes,
chocolate cakes, or cakes with de-
cided flavor in cake or frosting are
especially suitable for use of these
fats.
To mix these cakes, increase salt
Ia teaspoon. Reserve about Ia
OF the sugar to beat into the egg
whites. Cream remaining sugar
with the fat. Combine egg yolks
and milk and add to creamed mix
ture, alternately with sifted flour
mixture, beating after each addi-
ton. Beat egg whites with reserved
sugar until stiff enough to hold
up in moist peaks. Add to cake
batter, beating very thoroughly.
Bake as usual.
That expert advice comes from q
new 22-page booklet called How to
Bake by the Ration Book" And
here's one Of its many wartime re-
cipes.

Tt Isn't often that a bridge ex-
pert win tell you about all the mis-
takes that we're made in a hand,
including his own. The other night
] met Lee Hazen OF New York, one
Of the country's leading experts.
In commenting about today's
hand, fiazen said, even my first
bid was probably wrong, but I did
try to Justify the fact that 1 was
entitled to open the bidding with
one diamond" East made a mistake
In bidding simply two spades in
stead Of jumping to four spades.
Hazen said his next mistake was
his three-diamond bid, leading his
partner to believe that he had a
sound opening bid and rebid. East
passed three no trump, believing he
could probably defeat that contract.
Hazen said, Now I really did find
myself a bid In five diamonds, and
due to my previous bidding, my pass
0f five spades was really a forcing
pass on my partner" East should
nave doubled six diamonds but, he
passed.
Four Of the best players in the
country participated in that rub

More Shoes For Children
Seen In OPA Quota Move
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA staff CORRESPONDENT

washington, Oct. 30.-Heads have
Just been put together on the shoe
situation. It Is likely that the out.
come will be more children's shoes.
The decision was to offer o IS
per cent production quota bonus
TO any manufacturer OF mems
and womens shoes who transfers to
children's shoes.
Reports from OPA regional rep
resentatives showed that synthetic
rubber soles on children's shoes were
finding q ready market. 1t Is ex-
pected that more OF these will be
used to relieve the leather sole
shortage.
Safety shoes are still . prob
lem In some places, but production
Is expected 10 keep UP with essential
demand. Mems and women's street
and dress shoes are not scarce IN
most areas.
Remember that O special shoe
ration stamp is available, almost
for the asking, from your ration
board when your child has outrun
the family ration stamps.
WOOL.GATHERING
New shortages for old. WPB has o
new department to avert cotton
shortage for civilian sheets and other
household goods. In the meantime,
the once precarious wool supply has
grown with imports from Australia.

FAIR FUR PRICE
Last words on the price Of your

meeting between fur dealers and
OPA experts. The new prices will
be generally lower overall ceiling
prices put on from the skin out.
The old system Of freezing prices as
Of March, 1912, caused confusion be-
tween skin dealers and manufac.
turers.

the human infant has an enormous

Before going into the simple
principles upon which modern in
FAINT feeding Is based. 1t should be
stressed that even the most ideal
formula Is q second-rate way OF
feeding infants. The first choice
Is always breast-feeding, and this
fact Is particularly true now, when
q real nutritional emergency ex-
lists, and cows milk used In a
formula to the disadvantage OF the
infant who could have been
breast-fed - might have provided
essential aourishment for some
one else. When a mother Is unable
TO nurse her baby, however, a formu-
Ia Is usually satisfactory and may be
very simple.
FORMULAS
The bases OF all formulas are
milk, carbohydrate and water.
These are combined In proportions
that approximate the effect OF
breast milk. The addition OF wa
ter reduces the percentage OF pro-
tein and fat in the cows milk. The
protein Of cows milk Is made more
digestible by boiling or by the pro-
cess OF evaporating the milk. These
same procedures also render the
milk free Of bacteria. The addition
