Beauties Hints
Try Manicure, Bright Polish.
To Cure Youthful Nail-BiterS
BY ALICIA. HART
NA Stan Writer

Pretty I'D those flngernails that
your child nervously nibbles at, and
she'll be too proud of them to
white them down with sharp little
teeth.
For proof that this method works,
let me present Marilyn Erskine,
teen-age star of the CHS fairy tale
program, Lets Pretend" Marilyn
confesses to having once had the
distressing habit Of chewing nails
to the quick, as so many excitable
children do, until her mother (who
had exhausted every disciplinary
measure) decided to try a beauty
trick. She hauled out her manicure
kit, and gave Marilyn's nails the
works. After that, blunt little nails
began to grow, and Marilyn began
to take pride in their tapering
length and glossy coats.
So, If you've used bitter-tasting
brews, nail guards and bandage
tape and found these unsuccessful
try appealing to your child's vanity
with a identifying manicure.
File her nails, probe gently
around the cuticles, bleach under
meath tips with peroxide or a
whitener. Then gloss up with polish
and make it colored. The more

New York.-Because keeping a
shirt tail in Is q big problem with
today's Gibson Girl who wants to
look tidy and wee-waisted in her
blouse and skirt, experts have had
to work out tricks to keep her from
coming apart.
Best trick, they say, Is to anchor
your shirt tail to the skirt part OF
q bias-cut snp-severed from a top
that is all shot. A trick, too, that
will put a discarded slip back into
circulation, and make girls waist
more Of a temptation to span, be-
cause 1t eliminates one thickness
Of clothing.
What you do is simple enough
operation. Put on your slip, then
your blouse. Button up and adjust
blouse properly, and take In darts
through the waistlne with pins. Pin
In hipline fullness at side seams
II your blouse needs to be fltted
more snugly there. Now, take a
pencil-or better still, have some
one else do this for you-and dot
mark an encircling line on your slip
around your hips where your shirt
tail stops, because that is where
you want to joint the two garments
together.

make six or seven hearts. Well,
guess our soldier boy Stone is al
lergic to clubs. Here is another dis
aSter that he encountered.
North's opening bid Of one club
was psychic, and Stone with the
big East hand bid two clubs,
force on his partner. Harry Fish
bein, sitting west, responded with
two diamonds. Stone, wishing to
force him again, bid three clubs
and Fishbein decided to get out Of
the bidding and passed!
Against me, Charles Solomon Of
Philadelphia opened the bidding
in the North with two hearts. His
partner, Mrs. Benjamin M. Colder
explained that they were using the
weak two-bid. / smiled, with the
East holding, and bid six spades.

that North must have six hearts
to make the weak two-bid. So
did not attempt to ruff the hear
out, but picked up the trumpS anc

Food markets are bright days with
many fresh vegetables shipped from
our warmer, thought not 50 lar

the two vegetables on the market
in abundance and at somewhat
lower cost. The War Food Admin
iStration urges that all persons who
have meals to plan and prepare can
help the national food situation by
using Of both Of these fresh, good
quality vegetables.
Carrots are one Of the most econ
omical buys for vitamin A. Crisp
strips Of raw carrots offer if1numer-
able opportunities Of getting this
important vitamin. They may be
included in the packed lunch OF
served eother plain or mixed in a
tossed salad with the lunch or sup
per at home.
A different way to serve carrots
in salad Is grated or coarsely ground
and mixed with cottage cheese.
Serving carrots raw Is a time saver
as well as food value saver. How
ever, carrots in a stew or soup, or
baked with a roast, are choice ways
Of serving them cooked. When
boiling carrots. use a small amount
Of water and don't waste drop OF
this vegetable water.
The early beets sent to market
are usually in punches with the
tops on-the leafy part is a nexcel-
lent green to cook. and may be
chopped and served with the cubed
beets. Beets are q fair source Of
vitaminS and minerals as well as
energy. The tops are extremely
high in Utamin A and iron. To

the stems. Wash beets thoroughly
and cook In boiling sailed water
When the beets are tender dip i'm
mediately in cold water to loosen
the skin, which then slips off cas-
lily. Raw grated beets add color
and food value to tossed salads; a
good relish Is coarsely ground raw
beets, cabbage and onions mixed
with French dressing, or perhaps
just vinegar, salt and sugar. Rus

Washington is so concerned over

the thousands of young girls who
have poured into the city from
small towns and rural communities

He claims that Most girls I'M

Sending them rome would solve
the problem so far as Washington
is concerned-but it won't solve
the problem of the girls safety.
For if the girls cart take care of
themselves in Washington there is
no reason to suppose they won't get

1t seems the most practical
thing that Washington could do at
this point to safeguard the young
girls in government service is to
see that personnel worker has
a private talk with each young girl

to the girls in. q group-for they
would most likely respond with the
