WHAT! TWENTY AND NO
 GIRDLE?

I am in the early twenties, (she writes) and have never worn a gir- dle. If I do not wear girdle will my abdomen protrude in ungainly fashion and feel heavy and uncom- fortable? Does girdle help mold the figure or keep it slender?
 (Miss A. L.)
 The longer you go without gir- de or similar support the better for your figure, comfort, health and beauty.
 This is the first time in years that the problem of holding the figure has come up in correspond ence. In the old days of rigid cor sets and similar harness the alleged necessity for molding or at least restraining the figure of the grow ing girl was an effective sales argu- ment for which millions of mis- guided mothers fell. When the elas- tic type of supporter succeeded Whalebone and steel reinforced stays the credulous sex seemed to lose interest in the question of molding the figure-perhaps they were convinced that the two-way stretch just made muscle obsolete.
 I repeat, the longer any young woman goes without corset, stay, supporter, girdle, crutch, prop or brace the better for her figure and good looks, her comfort and health
 With the able assistance of an experienced salesWoman you can persuade yourself that a girdle or similar contrivance makes you look better and feel more comfortable. but to other eyes than your own the deception is less convincing.
 Instead of adopting harness at sixteen, twenty or any other age. a well advised girl will adopt req sonable course or program of phy- sical training in her early teens preferably but later If her educa- tion has been neglected in grade school and high school-as 1t is in most schools-a program which will keep her own muscles in good condition resilient, elastic, agile not enlarged or abnormally strong and she will have the most satiS- factory corset girdle, supporter, brace any woman can have, for, after all, no artificial support can compare with the properly used muscles of the body.
 The girl or young woman needs something more as rule say an hour day of play in any active game or sport she likes-that is she must play the game herself, not sit and watch others play. Swimming, tennis. golf, softball, skating, hiking, athletics, garden ing, bowling, dancing, bicycling, horseback riding, whatever physi- cal activity she likes. That's the way the woman may train and keep a figure that makes the be-corseted figure appear what 1t is cheap imitation.

ing instructions from Washington, but that no public announcement would be made for several days.
 Whereupon a Chicago Tribune reporter telephoned the OPA's mail room in Chicago and repre- sented himself as someone in the OPA rationing department.
 My copy of the new rationing instructions is poorly mimeO- graphed," he told one of the stenographers. Tt must be a third or fourth run. don't want to btOher MT. McKeOugh about it, so wound you please read me your copy"
 So the obliging young lady read to the Chicago Tribune re- porter the new and highly con- fidential gasoline rationing rules just received from Washington. ICKES OPPOSED
 Inside fact is that the OPA did it's best to abolish the pleasure driving ban in the East, but ran up against the firm hand of Pe- troleum Administrator Ickes. He has never been too enthusiastic about the public going back to pleasure driving, has warned of the danger of fuel oil shortage next winter.
 The OPA, however, was all set to lift the pleasure driving ban; had made complete plans to do so when Ickes said he Ould have to be allowed time to bring in extra gasoline frOl1 the mid- west.
 He pointed out and it is an unacceptable fact that gas reserves in the east are low, and he would have to build those re- serves up if there was to be new drain on them from pleasure driving. Therefore he demand ed at least two weeks to haul in the gas which the midwest will

Yes, we have no bananas! The war has put the skids under the banana trade. Reports state that approximately two bil- lion pounds went to waste during the past twelve months This is pretty bad; as bad as the rotting bananas. Lack of shipping is the cause, and action is now being taken to see what can be done to help out in deplorable situation. Bananas are an important article of food, highly nourishing When the govern ment took over all the Atlantic coast shipping there was not much that could be done, and travel from the banana coun- tries was too risky. Now, however, ship ping is not so hazardous and with few boats running from the banana growing countries yes, we might have some bananas

Selected Poem
ALONG THIS TRAIL

eona Bishop Medley in The Christian Scienc
 Monitor) Along this trail we heard the lark Sing joyously as though a spark within him made the notes resound. bubbling song, up up, around It went-spiraling to embark. Field bird no cage within park Imprisons you. There Is mark Of freedom as you leave the ground Along this trail. Repeatedly hear your "hark", Then smoothly flying in an arc You light upon greening mound. Sweet singer, may your songs abound. May you sing on from dawn till dark Along this trail.
