 Write a cheerful letter. A girl with a reputation for charm, ilumor and intelligence to defend can't af- ford to air her peeves in 8 letter, Besides, today's charmer takes home front hardships in her stride, and doesn't grouse about rationing, or

color in your hat with 8 pair of matching beige gloves. If your hat had a bit of sharp pink binding its brim or outlining its crown, you'd clip a rosequartz pin to your suit lapel.
 A hat speaks up for lovely hair when a bit of beanie shows a lot of it; for eyes, when the color of a hat matches your sparklers; for a cameo complexion, when the hat tsp ink; for a tawny, Sun- tanned skin, when the hat Is white; for figure, when hat is scaled in size to the biggest pro- portions. A hat doesn't have to be as wide-spanned as hips cartwheels and their companions are out for the duration anyway but 1t can give the impression

 @NfcltON.NM Active Child Needs As Much Protein As Adult
BY GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

Meat is one of the richest sourc- es of complete protein and some meat must be included in a child's diet.
 According to pr. W. D. Sansum of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, author of The Normal Diet" 1t is hard for parents to realize that the active, growing child needs as much protein as an adult. He is usually given protein food in proportion to size rather than in proportion to needs.
 Nutrition authorities say a 13- year-old boy actually requires as much protein as his father or moth- CT and an S-year-old girl requires just as much as her mother. If these protein requirements are not satisfied, resistance to many diseaS- es is lessened, growth is retarded and deficiency states develop.
 Low-point or no-point meats are usually available for the American war kitchen.
 Liver Slices With Tomato Sauce
 (Serves 4-6)
 One pound sliced liver, seasoned flour, 3 tablespoons lard or bacon drippings, 2 cups canned tomatoes, 9 tablespoons minced onion, salt and pepper.
 Dip liver slices in seasoned flour, dredging well. Brown on both sides over low heat in lard or bacon drip- pings. Combine tomatoes and onion; season with salt and pepper. Pour tomatoes over liver slices. Cover, cook slowly Is minutes. Un. cover; cook IS minutes longer, or until liver is tender and sauce is thickened.

 That's the self-assured attitude a girl should take when she sus- poets the girls of another country are finding her man attractive.
 It's an attitude a man is sure to respect - for it is the attitude a man would take under like circum- stances.
 COMPETITION SCARES THEM
 But oddly enough. it isn't the way women usually behave. All too often, they take hang-dog attitude the minute they think they are meeting with competition, and get scared to death that they never can compete w'll the other woman.
 Or, they get up on a high horse and decide htat the man who dares to look around isn't worth bother ing about, anyhow. So they tell him off and let him go.
 But the 17-year-old did neither.

 Victory gardeners will have am pie supplies of rotenone. one of the best insecticides for vegeta- bles. Supplies are vastly improved through the importation from South America of about five times as much as came in last year. A new order makes rotenone avail able to Victory gardeners in small lots from broken" packages, when State laws do not prohibit such sales. Previusly, the 80 os 100 pound sacks could not be broken.
 POSTWAR PREDICTION

Some drastic war limitations will go, but many of the restrictions have brought

New York.-A hat can say nicer things for you than you can say for yourself. Speak up for your good taste, your hair, eyes, skin, figure and self-confidence, If you're choosey about what goes on your head.
 A hat that puts your good taste across, say the prestige milliners willing to let you in on some little-known secrets-should be of color or color combination which can be tied up with your costume. Say your spring suit is brown. The hat that would speak up for a tasteful ensemble, might well be brown and beige checked straw.d You'd repeat the beige

 Tell him news of home, because the man in uniform is avid for it. Reporting about the people he knows best will win you your spurs with him as an able little commentator. Take the trouble, if 1t is trouble, to track down ir- formation about his pals who have followed him into the serv- ice, and tell him what's what with them.
 Send him his hometown paper or at least clip and enclose the personal columns and stories of special interest to him. He'll take his hat of to you as a pretty special kind of girl, and that trib- ute is rich reward for your pains.

Scheuer (South) ruffed the open- ing lead, which was the club ace, then ruffed a spade in dummy, ruffed anothar club, ruffed another spade with the ten of diamonds, and ruffed the third club in his own hand. Now he caShed the ace and king of diamonds, won heart in dummy with the king and led another club. East ruffed with the queen of diamonds and Scheuer discarded the ten of spades.
 East returned spade. While the flneSse would work, Scheuer pointed out that 1t could not gain. By going up with the ace, the blank king might be picked up. If not, the play of the last diamond would squeeze either East or West If East re- fused to trump, he would be squeezed.
