When a boy OF Tommy's age.
nine. is antagoniStic toward girls
we are inclined to regard it as per-
fectly normal. After all. the major
ity Of boys of this age seem TO feel
the same way Girls from eight or
nine TO adolescence also frequently
claim to and are supposed to dislike
boys. But if We were TO ask for rea-
sons. / believe we would find that
more boys really hate girls than
girls do boys: that the girls chief
objection to boys would be that
they are too rough or noisy. The
dislike of boys for girls. on the
other hand. would be more funda-
mental and based upon the actual
experience of disloyalty. lying. tat
Ting and Indian giving at the
hands of the so-called weaker sex.
The crux of the situation is that
many parents still are guided by
one set of conventions in training
girls and another in training boys.
A boy is not supposed TO strike a
girl. for example. though she may
be his equal in size and even though
she may have struck him first.
Girls. as a result of these double
standards are spoiled.
If girls had to play fair. II the
same moral code that applies to
boys was made TO apply TO them.
they would soon learn TO be fair
and there wouldn't be so many girl
haters. Particularly today when
women in and out Of uniform are
working in their country's interests.
and when it is clear that they are
destined to play a bigger part in the
worlds work and affairs Of the
future. sex equality should be
stressed in training children.

Add TO your steadily growing

now find timely.

The Moyenage. as a source of in

This takes various forms. always
supple. with the modern helmet
emphasizing the balanced and
longer side movements which cover
the ears, sometimes peaked, some
times round. In modern forms, 1t Is
almost identical with the bomber
pilots helmet. especially when lined
with lambs wool. The development
of the helmet is part of the grow

by leading New York milliners.

previously stated. 1t isn't the shape
of the hat that matters. 1t is its size
and the angle at which it is worn.
Remember the blade Of grass sill

that hats are small and that hair

your tiny fedora or whatever with
fur or velvet and wear it with your
winter suit or coat. Since feltS are
hard to get. 1t strikes me that 1t Is
a good time to wear any color one
likes. linking it with gloves or the
stones in ones lapel ornament.
Whether a hat is high or low does
not matter. What does matter Is
that it is small. II you want some

satin. which makes a perfect first

Two>Day Menus Save
Time When You're Busy
By JUDITH WILSON

THE next time you have an ex-
i ceptionally busy week ahead OF
you, a ime-Saving trick is TO dupli-
cate menus for two days running.
Two meals good for double-duty
are: Cd Lamb frankfurter meat
loaf, potato salad, buttered beetS
and fruit salad: (2) Corned beef
whole boiled potatoes, green beans,
cabbage salad and prune pudding
(recipe below.
The flavor Of one frankfurter
travels a long way. Lamb, bland
favored meat, is improved by a bit
of popping up, and single frank
furter sliced into your favorite meat
loaf mixture is guaranteed TO have
this effect. Also. try slicing single
frankfurter into baked beans, po-
tato soup, vegetable salad, or a
creamed or casserole dish for
new SAVIOR.
To boil corned beef, wipe meat
and tie securely in shape. Put in
kettle. Cover with cold water and
bring slowly to boiling point. Boil
5 minutes. Skim. Reduce heat and
simmer. covered. until tender. For
a New England Boiled Dinner. serve
hot with potatoes, turnips, carrots,
cabbage and beets. If preferred, the
potatoes, turnips and carrots may
be cooked in the corned beef stock
after the meat has been removed
and the water SKINNED. The cab
bage and beets should always be
cooked separately.
Following is a recipe for a deli
cious pot roast that will provide
two meals for family of four.

THE people in our neighbor-
Il hood with low ceilings in
some cases got more oil than
they needed. whereas the man
with high ceilings did not get
enough TO run the winter at
any temperature.
Studio living rooms. with two
story ceilings, left some dwell

My oil dealer informed me
there was no use going 10 the

AS late as this il had not
been able 10 allocate coupons TO
all the people, so there was no
need 10 seek reconsidera ton
Clerks had largely volun-
teered and were unframed, and
the average Of mistakes was
high.
Luckily, I had a vacation in
December, so | closed the house
for month and went away to
use the heat OF others.
Coming back, l felt Comforted
by announcements from OPA
that all Washington dealers had
enough oil, although ! could
hardly reconcile this with the
news in the same paper that the
British embassy had no heat for
several days.
My dealer thPreupon informed
me the value Of my coupons had
been cut 10 per cent and anyway
he would have no oil for three
or four days although only 10
gallons were in my tank.
The only other oil dealer in
town had plenty. but OPA had
issued regulation preventing
him from serving any except his
old customers. The government
had prevented him from serV-
ing me.
TlIERE I learned the problem
ot me oil dealer was worse
than mine.
Fewer than one-fifth Of his
drivers generally showed up on
Monday, because increased pay
allowed them 10 take more time

OPA has descended upon them
with new regulations requiring
detailed daily reports of mile
age, gasoline, tire life and hours
driven concerning each truck.
and II was almost impossible
for the dealer 10 answer the
telephone. much less TO maintain
an orderly business.
So | closed off all except a
