man and woman marring today have twice as good chance of cele- brating their golden wedding annl- yersary as they would have had 50 years ago.
 PUBLIC HEALTH IMPROVING
 And 1t isn't because of the eouri" try's marriage clinics, college mar. riage courses, or a better under standing on the part of the average man and woman that is bringing about the change.
 No, the main reason why today'f brides and grooms have double the chance their grandparents had oI being married to the same person for 50 years Is due to the advances in medicine and public health.
 So, any advice to a bride on how to stay married ought to stress the fact that she must take good care of her own and her husbands health The Army or Navy may be attending to the mans physical well-being now. but the wife or prospective pride should be planning to take over the job and carry it on efii- ciently.
 In other words. 1t isn't just feed the bFute"-but ''see that the brute gets the proper vitamins."

Washington, aJn. 1.-The De- fense Supplies Corporations con- tract to purchase 100000 short tons of higfi-teSt Cuban molaSses at 2 1-2 cents per pound of sugar content Is good news to people who are in- terested in getting more grain for feeding stock. It is not so good for people interested in having more sugar to feed themselves.
 Industrial alcohol for war uses will be made from this molasses, which will save some of the grain that previously has gone into al- cohol. The Cuban sugar crop this year is expected to be a good deal larger than in 1943, but this 800,- 900 short tons of molasseS will re. duce the available amount of sugar and shipping space for ordinary uses.
 once of Price Administration has announced that sugar rations for home use will remain the same for another two and half months. Sugar stamp No. 30 in Book W will be good for five pounds of sugar from Jan. IS to the end of March. Stamp 29, now in use, expires Jan. IS.
 However, more sugar is being given to manufacturers of jams and jellies. Also number of new sugar containing products such as frozen apple sauce and grapefruit, and baked beans are being made.
 The War Food Administration says it is nip-and-tuck whether the sugar will continue to keep up with the present rationtng rate. ODDS ANDL NEWS

 Drawing big style dividends from small investments calls for clever tricks which fashion models use as their stock in trade. Willing to let you in on their secrets is Florence Pritchett. a top-ranking model who also teaches styling in the John Powers School.
 Best penny-Saving trick of au," says Florence, lis to buy an mex pensive black or navy blue dress or use one that you already have, and to strip 1t down until it looks expensive-that is, rip of ruffles, draperies, fiouncy collars, and gew- gawS"
 That done, here are some things model would do to make that skeleton dress look distinctive. She would invest in a multiple strand necklace of chalky beads or pearls, and wear it to accent the neckline. She would make or search the counters for tricky collars, espe- cially the under-statement kind, which are nothing more than nar- row neckbands with Q tailored bow tie or tiny tabs. This neckwear would be cotton-crisp pique, starched-up chambray and ging- ham-for daytime needs. For chin framing prettiness after dark. &C., cessory excitement would be black lace or net, made into 8 StOle.like scarf, belted at the waist.
 Models also go in heavily for un- usual buttons, and use unexpected things like curtain rings, suspended by ribbons; old antique coins, to which fasteners are soldered on, and chanticleer pins or keys instead of buttons.
