DANGER SIGNALS
In order to reduce the possibill-
ties of bad effects, good
as important for measles as for
scarlet fever. The patient should
be put to bed promptly and kept
therein a rooh by himself, If
possible. The room should be
taken to avoid drafts and to pre-
vent the patient from becoming
chilled. Usually the eyes are very
sensitive to light. They should
be protected from glare, but the
room need not be darkened unless
the doctor advises it.
The patient should be given
light, nourishing food and plenty
Of water and fruit juices. The
mouth and teeth should be cleaned
after each feeding. A daily
cleansing bath should be given
unless the doctor orders other
wise. No person with a cough or
cold should be permitted in the
patients room because of the dam
ger of exposing him to an infec-
ton that may result in pneumonia.
Danger signals that should be
reported to the doctor are sudden
elevation Of temperature, earache
or q change in the nature Of the
cough, or a temperature that per-
sists after seven or eight days.

FOLLOW THE GIRLS" is a
noSy, bawdy musical comedy pro-
duced by Dave Wolper, an attorney
and night club owner making his
debut as theater impresario. It's
chief assets-and they are very big
oneS-are Gertrude Niesen, the
comedienne with fine flair, and
Jackie Gleason, the OUTSIDE comic
from the nightclubs who amazed
even his friends and strongeht
boosters by turning in a Job that
should put him right up in the
top ranks. I was prepared to see
Niesen steal the show. but, good
as she was, beliece Gleason got
the same open first.
Another who struck the custom
crs' fancw was Trina Baronova, the
famed and beautiful ballerina
making her first stag at the popu-
lar musical show stage. She Is the
heart iterest in this frail fable
about gobs, gals and enemy agents
and displayed an aptitude for lines
as well as the expected high-class
footwork.
The performers, as a matter Of
fact, are much superior to the ma.
terial. There also are Dorothy Kel-
Ter, q soubrette who made ar
effective Broadway debut; Tim
Herbert, young son of the vaude-
vile veteran, Herman Timberg,
and Buster West, who has been
dancing and Glowing around on
reveue and musical comedy stages
longer than he probably cares to
remember. All are fine.
The story Is by Guy Bolton and
Eddie Davis, couple Of old hands
att he game who have done betetr ;
the lyrics and music are by Dan
Shapido, Milton Pascal and Phil
Charig. The score Is not very men,
orable, but it has two catchy num-
bers-"You're PERI" and II Wanna
Get Married." the latter being
Niesen's big number. I doubt II the
radio can clean 1t up sufficiently
to use the lyric.

their doors to servicemen.
At first their decision may sound
selfish and inhospitable. But the
kids probably know what they are
doing.
AS they point out, there are Or
CARNATIONS that provide entertain
ment for service men. But the high
school kids were left out in the cold,
until they set up their own cam
teens. They feel that if their centers
are opened to boys in uniform the
boys who are still in high school
will Just drop out. And they say the
canteens are too small to accom-
modate more than the groups OF
neighborhood school kids for which
they were planned.
STIFF COMPETITION
That first reason Is important. No
boy still wearing corudroys and q
sweater-even If the sweater has a
high school letter on its going
to be able to compete for girls
attention against the glamor Of a
uniform.
So naturally the high school boys
would stop hanging around the can
teens If they found themselves out
classed. And that is just what
shouldn't happen. The reason for
the canteens was to keep high school
kids out of joints and of the streets.
And more than that, high school
teachers report that boys still in
school today tend to be restless, are
inclined to feel that they are vast
ing their time sitting in class rooms
when they would like to be In uni
form. Why add to that restlessness
by putting them in situation where
they are in direct competition with
Servicemen?

The first warm days put thoughts
Of camping and outdoor eating into
restless hearts. That's why these
recipes from Elizabeth Fosters new
novel ''Dirigo Point" seem to belong
in this column. Nate French, the
Maine guide, sure knows his pota-
toes. And Stella uses cream of tar
tar and soda in her griddle cakes
instead of baking powder.
Stella's Griddle Cakes
Two cups flour, 2 teaspoons cream
of tartar, 2 teaspoons sugar, tea
spoon soda, / teaspoon salt, table
spoons melted butter or fortified
margarine, milk, egg, beaten.
Sift flour together with cream of
tartar, sugar, soda, salt and butter
or margarine. Add milk to the de-
sired consistency. Some like them
thin, some thick. Then add egg and
bake on hot griddle creased with
bacon rind.
Mates French Fried Potatoes
Cut pared potatoes in even slices
and soak in cold water if there Is
any available. If you are on a
mountain top and water is scarce,
never mind. An iron frying pan is
best. but a tin one will do.
Melt one inch Of lard or vege-
table shortening in pan. You will
all scream that this is not enough,
but wait. Heat the fat until it
burns cube of bread golden brown
then add potatoes, and watch the
fat rise up and cover them, which
it will do nicely.
Cook until potatoes begin to
brown, then remove from fat, drain
and set aside until the rest OF the
meal is ready. Then reheat the fat,
put them in again, and brown until
finished. They will be much light

In today's hand, from the East
ern Tournament. Lochridge made
marvellous defensive play. Sit
ting South, he won the opening
spade lead with the queen. Now
he reasoned that he had the club
suit stopped twice, and 1t looked
as If his proper lead was a dia-
mond. But for West to have bid,
he must hold the ace, king and
queen Of diamonds.
Lochridge, decided that his best
play was to try to kill dummy, so
he led a small heart right into the
ace-queen. When declarer led the
king Of clubs, Lochridge won and
led another heart. Now the de-
clarer could cash two club tricks,
three diamonds and three hearts
but that's only eight tricks. Thus
the contract was debated.
