Can two girls have such a
friendship? Did you ever read a
story of a Damon and Pythias al
lance of two girls? I don't recall
any such story and if there was
that sort of friendship bond,
wouldn't you think that some one
would have written a beautiful
story about it?
Men, rs rule are jealous
of each other only when there
Is woman concerned. They
are not jealous of each Others
looks or clothing, charm or
popularity. They have n strong
competitive feeling where
business is concerned but IL is
hardly jealousy. But women
are definitely jealous of each
other. A modish hat ON girl
friend may make her "friend'
wild with jealousy. A new
frocix. may give her case of
filters and longing to get
better one.
OF course women do have
friends. They talk about their girl
friends and what fun they have to-
gether but they would ditch the
whole lot just TO be with some
man. When two girls pal around
they may enjoy each others COM
pany but that doesn't stop them
from being jealous Of each other
and 1t doesn't stop them from
criticizing or making catty re
marks. Sure. I know they gush
over each other and talk of how
sweet you look" but underneath
is a gnawing envy and jealousy.
A girl is bothered about this
problem and writes to us about it.
Dear Uncle George:-May-
be, you will call IL imagina-
ton OF over-sensitiveness, but
it's still my problem.
81 have been going with
this girl for about two years.
We have always been loyal to
each other. At least l have.
Even 10 the extent of giving
up dates with some swell fell
flows because she didn't have
a date and 1 didn't want her
TO be left out. Lately she has
been trying TO make me look
silly and vain in the eyes of
the fellows in our crowd. She
passes up no opportunity to
slide in a sugared remark.
Never having learned TO be
catty. can't defend myself.
Even my mother has no
ticed it. In fact, long before
l noticed il, my mother men
toned IL but / just was so
knee deep in loyal affection
for my pal that l was too
blind TO notice it. Strange as

Jumping from nquld TO q nor
NAL diet without going through
the transition step of a soft diet
isn't good sense. Eggs, toast that
Is thoroughly dry, cooked fruits
and vegetables that have been
strained and a few simple soft
desserts added TO the liquid group
make up the soft one.
From there the path follows to
general light diet of simple
wholesome foods which includes
baked potatoes, rice, chicken,
lamb and broiled beef, but avoids
fatty meats, hot breads, rich des-
serts, strong favored vegetables
and those with harsh fiber.
Apricot Whip
(Serves ~
One cup dried apricots, cooked,
/ tablespoon lemon juice, dash of
salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, egg
whites.
Put apricots through strainer
and add remaining ingredients.
Whip with a wire whip or in an
electric mixer until light and
fluffy.
Molasses Milk Shake
One glass milk (either cold or
hot), tablespoon molasses. Add
molasses to milk and stir until
thoroughly combined. (For more
nourishment, add a beaten egg,
stir until combined)
Keeping fit to help win this
war is more than merely adding
an extra hour of sleep to your

plants that impede efficiency
must, if possible. be eradicated.

AL and Clio Present Case for Subsidies

FitTheSupply-G
Hunger Suggested AS Substitute For Subsidies By Head
Of National Grange-Farmers Union Exposes
Oranges Drive For Initiation

WASHINGTON = A substitute
for subsidies was suggested to the
Senate banking and currency COM
mittee by Master Albert Coss of the
National Grange to let prices soar
according to the Economic law of
supply and demand and, if there
weren't food enough for all, to
'scut the demand to fit the supply"
This capsule of Hooverism, pink
coated with food stamp plan for the
lowest income groups, was delivered
along with an attack on war workers
wages as extravagantly high, and
criticism of the tax bill adopted by
the House because it doesn't soak up
that Socalled excess purchasing power
of consumers.
Congress is being put in an in
consistent position by failing to at
|, tack inflation," he said. By taxing
wage-earners more drasticaIIy, Coss
and the farm bloc would ''cut the
demand.e
Pres. Edward O'Nea1 of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation in a
his expected appearance the follow
ing week, said even more precisely
that there should be no wage in
creases in the event prices do go up.
Calling the shot on both of these
farm bloc spokesman was Pres.
Archie Wright of the Farmers I'm
ion of the New York Milk Shed,
who declared, ''The forces of scare
ity and Hooverism are determined
to wreck the subsidy program and
foment infiation.'
He exposed as phony Gov. Thomas
Dewey'S current screams of socalled
feed shortages in New York state,
swelled by those of H. E. Babcock,
farmer head of the Natl. Council Of
Farm Cooperatives, whom Dewey
made chairman of his Emergency
Food Commission.
There is more feed grain on hand
In New York and New England
than at any time in recent years,
Wright said. The War Food Ad-
ministration, he said, had "dOne a
fine job of moving grain, and it
has accomplished this in the face
of all sorts of disruptive and fifth
! column sabotage by political plot
tiers who have sought to wreck the
food program"
Their aim, he said, was to force
farmers to join in the inhationary de-
mands for higher milk prices, which
would result in higher food prices
generally.

Building Trades
Name Committee
On Certificates
New Haven Business Agent
Seek Power To Prevent
Costly Delays

Although not yet formally reOr-
ganized, the New Haven Building
Trades Council has already begun
to function, and show results which
will benefit the labor movement of
the Elm City.
The second meeting of building
trades business agents was held at
the Labor Temple Monday morning,
and every agent reported that his
local, as soon as it met, would elect
delegates to the Council, which will
hold its first formal meeting in JAN
uary. James DiLonardo, business
agent of Bricklayers and Masons, No.
6, presided, and Vincent ]. Meow
ern, business agent of Electricians,
BOO, is acting as secretary.
A complete discussion on the
question of availability certificates
for building tradesmen was held.
Building trades business agents
throughout Connecticut believe
that because of the nature of
the trade, with quick changes, and
many emergencies, the only prac-
teal method is to permit the bust
ness agents to issue availability GER
tificates under certain circum-
stances. This practice is being fol-
lowed in some places and i'm some
trades, and has been very success
full. A committee, consisting of Di-
Lonardo and Saul Kreas, business
agent of Painters, No. 186, was
appointed to confer with the labor
Representatives of the War Man.
power Area Committee on this
problem.
The public housing program in
New Haven and nationally was the
subject of long discussion by the
business agents. Full details will be
given in next weeks issue of this
newspaper.
Michael White, organizer of the
international Brotherhood of Paint
ers, Paperhangers, and Decorators,
who lives in Greenwich, reported on
conditions in and about his vicinity.
The building trades, he said, work
very smoothly in that area, and con-
troll about 1870 of the work. The
Council functions excellently, and lit
tie trouble is encountered.
A discussion of the alteration work
being done at Aschenbroedel Restau-
rant was held.
In addition to McCovern, Kreas,
White and DiLonardo, the meeting
was also attended by John A. John
son, Carpenters, No. 70; Peter La
go, Building Laborers, No. 455 !;
James O'Kane, Iron Workers, No.
424; George Joslyn, Sheet Metal
Workers, No. 40; and Hartley Mar
