WE, THE WOMEN Movie And Broadway Play Stir Miss Millett'S Ire

when they are on a drunken party and afterward she can't remember the phoney name she gave or the name he gave on the marriage license. When she discovers that she is to have baby-the movie gets even more hilarious"
 What good does it do for par ents to struggle to get their kids through the hysterical war years unscathed, and for educators and ministers to put their minds to the problem of juvenile delin- quency, if theaters are going to make comedies out of drunken marriages?
 WRONG SLANT
 If grown-ups write those plays and scenarios and if grown-ups think the whole situation is just killingly funny when portrayed on the stage or in a movie theater (and the audiences are rocking with mirth)-what are the young kids to think?
 Why, they'll think that drunken marriages are smart, of course. And that sex precociousness among young people is not only to be expected but to be laughed of as just as amusing sidelight oi the war

HOME FRONT FORECAST Home Gardeners Take Bow For Lower Points On Food
HOME FRONT FORECAST
By ANN STEVICK NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Feb. Don't let the new low point values on vegeta- bles daunt your plans for victory garden and home canning. These are just as important as ever. The tremendous total of 1943 canning filling more than 4,000 900, 900 con- tainers-played a great part in bringing points down. Home-can- ming not only boosts the food supply but cuts down on critical transpor- tation space.
 Plans are under way in the De- partment of Agriculture's Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics to make 1944 a more successful home food preserva- ton year. At a recent conference it was recommended that further study be given to types of com mercial jars suitable for home canning, and closures for them. So far coffee, mayonnaise. and peanut butter jars have been the most successful.
 It was also suggested that fur ther standardization of jar open ings be effected to make usable for home canning those jars which have varied slightly from stand ard. Owners of pressure canners are urged to have the valves test ed and order reoair parts now be- fore the rush begins.
 BEDSPREADS THINNING Bedspreads will not be plenti- full as the effort increases to pro- vide more essential textile pro. duction. Spreads are considered relatively non-eSsential. Some are still being made, but quan- titles of ravon and cotton vii have to be diverted to other uses Sheets for double beds may bt easier to buy than single sheets because large quantities will gt to the armed forces and hospitals.

Beauties Hints Keep Chinline
 Clear-Cut, Firm. With Exercise
BY ALICIA HART NEA Stan Writer

There are no ugly necks, say the posture people, only those that aren't carried properly.
 Neck beauty depends upon the way you carry your head. Hold it high-aS through an unseen hand were yanking at your hair-and skin folds in your neck straighten out; your chin becomes clean-cut, and any dowager's hump that may have lodged behind a collar simply vanishes. So, if you've picked up bad habits of slumping, isn't this sufficient inducement to pull your self up?
 After 8 little conscious effort to improve your posture, good habits become automatic, and you can go about your work unmindful of the need to keep your head high and chin up.
 Before you put on your cream at night, do these two simple exer- ciseS that will help to build strong muscles and keep flesh firm.
 No. 1: Open your mouth and tilt your head slowly backward. Now, close your mouth and clench your teeth.
 No. 2: Hold head high and slowly pivot it all the way round to the right shoulder. then to the left. Re- peat each exercise several times gently and without jerking muscles.

STARRED IN STRIPES
BY EPSIE KINARD NEA Staff Writer

New York.-Soft is the word for spring suits, which make news when they step out in stripes and checks as lively as an old-time river-boat gamblers, and in colors as eye catching as parakeet's plumage.
 Chalked striped wool usually as conservatively styled for women's suits as for bankers, violates all the old rules. Sometimes the stripe is red, not white. Sometimes it's on brown wool, not on the usual gray or navy.
 Often they're combined with solid colorS, to create the effect of Q dandy's dark and light claw-ham- mer suit-as in the red-striped, brown tropical worsted cutaway jacket worn with solid brown skirt, featured in showing of spring fashions at the Waldorf Astoria recently.
 Another of the seasons most striking suits is a Hollywood-de- signed three-piecer, which teams up Q slim skirt of chalk-Striped gray flannel and waiStcoat to match with a solid gray jacket of darker hue.
 In both of these suits stripes are lined up in unexpected ways diagonally, up and down, and across. Sometimes they run one way on a skirt and another on its jacket. But the clever manipula- tion of them adds immeasurable interest to WPB-regulated styling.
 Suit colors which aren't tradi- tional navy, brown, gray and beige are apt to be brilliant-like tanger- inc, yellow, green and hacienda rose. Designers seem to have no inhibi- tions when 1t comes to marshalling three colors as bold as these into brown or black.
 Newest innovations are t he stroller suit with the hip-length boxy jacket and the dressier, fitted cardigan suit. Not new but still very much fashion favorite is the brief, snug jacket suit as easy to wear as a dress and as slimming to the figure.
 This seasons suits owe much of their femininity to the fabrics soft wools and wool mixtures which hug the figure and drape; crisp 'silks," such as polished alpaca and faille which lend themselves to tailoring Open darts. pleated and buttoned-in fullness and open neck lines also bring suits over to the feminine side. And so does such dressmaker detailing as decorative buttons, braid lapel ribobns and splashes of -riveting embroidery.
 And good-looking blouses of bright print and heirloom-type lace. re- lated in design-not added as an afterthought-turn the suit into an ensemble and enhance it's feminine appeal.

. MeKENNEY ON BRIDGE
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

Recently I was elected to serve as president of War Orphans Scholarships, Inc, an activity of the card players of the nation through which we hope to raise $20,000, ,000 for scholarships for orphans of the war. Scholarships are already avail able, and some of our heroes orphans will enter college this year through this activity.
 The Cavendish Club of New York was one of the clubs donating 8 scholarship. was over there the other night and saw this interesting hand played.
 The opening heart lead was ruffed by declarer with the deuce of spades. He returned the spade queen. East played the four-spot and West showed out. If the declarer had made the mistake of returning another trump, his contract would have been defeated.
 At this point he led a club, won with dummy'S ace and then led the ten of diamonds. West covered, North won with the ace, caShed the queen of diamonds, then led the jack. East could trump this, but there was no way for East-West to win more than two spades and c club. Thus tour-odd was made.

 Those going south are always warned to take something warm. One choice is the white wool jer- sey tailored suit, as shown, which goes Slnartly with gay scarfs and blouSes, white or colored access sories, and winter or suntanned complexion. White wool jersey also makes the simplest of one piece chemise dresses, buttoned like shirtwaisterS down the bodice, or fastened, captivatingly, with tiny buttons down the entire length of one side. Cardigan jackets complete many of the en- sembles, intended for cool days in winters warm climates and for summers invariable chills. The jersey weighs nothing at all, and, whereas 1t is as f1attering as pre- war white linen, is lot warmer. New York's cleverest designers use charm for evening as well as day and adding paillettes for night time sparkle.

BEAuTY TREATMENT

At the first sign of rust on fe- frigerator shelves. Westinghouse home economists advise this treat ment: Wash shelves with 8 mild securing powder and hot water; dry well with a soft, clean cloth and, using another soft clean cloth apply a thin protective coating of hot melted paraffin. Although primarily a beauty treatment, this helps to retard the harmful spread of rust at its starting point in the joints and seams of the shelves.

By GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

Those abundant and unrationed ready-to-eat cereals that seem so important at breakfast can serve handsomely at lunch time, too.
 Since cereal breakfast foods con- tain an average of about 10 per cent of protein, depending on the grain source, they are a nutritious, eco- nomical and ration-free calender for other less available protein foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, cheese and milk.
 Just heat the cereal about 10 minutes in a moderately hot (375 degrees F) oven. If you have in- dividual casseroles or ramekins, you can heat the cereal in these, then pour your mixture into each one. Or heat the cereal, then portion 1t out onto heated plates, pour over the creamed mixture and serve. For shredded wheat biscuits, you may wish first to split the biscuits in half lengthwise, spread lightly with but ter or margarine, then heat or toast.
 Corn Cheese Casserole
 In a greased casserole, place al- ternate layers of whole kernel corn. crumbled wheat biscuits and grated cheese. Season with salt and pep per; add milk to casserole to cover layers. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) about 30 minutes, or until milk is almost absorbed.
 Sausage Flake Ramekins
 Combine leftover cooked sausage meat with an equal amount of corn flakes. Arrange in individual rame- kins or custard cups; top with spoonful ketchup or chilli sauce. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) IS minutes or until heated.
 Meat Pie Topping
 To meat drippings add a dash of Worcestershire sauce, salt and pep per Mix with wheat flakes. Spread over casserole of meat and vege- table pie filling; bake until heated.
 Liver Luncheon Dish
 Cube cooked liver, add weT1-sea- soned to white sauce with any left over vegetables (peas. carrots, corn, green beans). Heat and serve on crisp corn cereal.

Back in the days when the radio bigwigs were convinced that the American listener had no interest in symphonic music, Dr. Frank Black was pioneer in insisting that there was an audience for serious music.
 Now that the symphony and the opera have come into their own. proving beyond doubt that an im- mense army of radio listeners wants to listen to good music, Dr. Black Is pioneering again. AS guest con- ductor of the Cleveland Symphony orchestra, he is on transforming tour, enabling hundreds of thou sands to see as well as hear sym phony concerts.
 Dr. Blacks series of performances began with pair of concerts, Jan. 20 and 9, in Cleveland, followed by another pair Feb. and 5. Be- ginning Feb. and continuing until Feb. IS, he will take the organiza- ton on one-night-stand tour, playing concerts in Oberlin and Mansfield, Ohio; Schenectady and Elmira, N. Y; Northampton and Worcester, Mass; Hartford and Bridgeport, Conn; Bethlehem, Pa. and Buffalo, N. Y.
 Six of his concerts, including three in Cleveland in March, follow ing the tour, will be broadcast, over MES.
 When Dr. Black first proposed to radio mogulS a series of breakfasts with a 30-piece string symphony, playing Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and other classicists, along with the music of the moderns, he was po- litely but firmly told that the appeal of such broadcastS would be too limited.
 He persisted and, finally, when he won trial for his idea, mail poured in literally by the ton, to applaud the serious music concerts. Since that beginning Black. has mapped out steadily growing program of classical music, for steadily grow ing audience. Largely as a result of his pioneering, the public demand for the symphony and the opera to- day is greater than at any other time in our history. Whereas a dozen years ago Black had difficulty convincing officials that there was enough interest in good music to warrant a single sustaining broad cast, today commercial sponsors are clamoring for the privilege of spon- soring broadcasts of opera and sym- phony.

Orchestra Leader Billy Mills spoke recently before Los Angeles Radio Music club on the subject of piano instruction for the reluctant child. He prescribed that the teacher should perform on the instrument for the child on alternate lesson days According to Billy, this inno- vation, by cultivating musical ap- preciation first, would no longer make scale practice hours dread. After the lecture an anxious looking mother managed to persuade the maestro in his spare time to teach her young 10-year-old. Fifteen in structors had failed to stimulate little June's interest. At the end of six meetings with Mills, June was doing two hours practice day and liking it. What Billy doesn't yet know is that bevy of six of his students friends are regularly lodged outside the music-room wir- dow on his performance" days lis tening to the music master and his melodies.
