 Revive Work-Weary Hands With a Daily Walk And a Fling
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

when wrists are flexible and fingers are 1lirnble, hands look lovely in motion, no matter what their shape, size or condition of servitude.
 But, warns Mrs. Igor Gorin, graceful wife of the Russian bari- tone and herself an accomplished pianist, Even active hands-those that thump 8 typewriter or piano. drive in rivets, grapple with house. hold tasks-can become muscle bound or develop occupational stiff ness, if you don't Timber them up with special exercise"
 To keep her piano-playing hands supple, here are her three exer- cises, which she passes on to you. First, bend back each finger and thumb as far as it will go behind the hand to which 1t belongs, and then bring it forward to touch the palm of that hand.
 Next, rest wrists on a table, hold hands up, spread fingers wide ape j, and walk" fingers rapidly, toucn-

WE, THE WOMEN
WE, THE WOMEN - Miss Millett Agrees With Author On Rights Of Babies

But the baby has 6 right to be cared for by his own mother - to come first in her scheme of things, even If it means that the mother has to Scrimp along on little money.
 NO REAL SUBSTITUTE
 AS Dr. Margaret A. Rtbble, who wrote '"The Rights of Infants" |" points out-"mothering" is impor- tant to 8 baby, who needs much more than merely the right formula and routine care.
 There are other babies, too, today who are having their rights violated. They are the children of parents who have put getting ahead" first in their lives, so that both parents hold down jobs and turn the care of their babies over to anyone they can hire to do the job.
 It is a healthfIll thing for young parents to be told that all rights aren't theirs that their babies also have rights.
 Those rights include more than just good physical care; they in- clude real, fashioned mother ing'-not by substitute, but by a baby'S own mother.

HOME FRONT FORECAST
HOME FRONT FORECAST Low Cost Clothing Is Promised For Children

A definite program of produc- tion for essential children's clothes has been set up. New al- lowances of waterproofing mater ials have been made for pants and sheetings. Some snow-suits got into production this year by making Things available to manu- lecturers with wool on hand. A di- rective is being prepared to get more wool melton cloth to manufacturers for next years snow suit season. WIN COOPERATION
 Eighteen million yards of cloth has been allocated for specified types of children's low-cost gar- ments. Manufacturers took 1t up enthusiastically, perhaps because the incentive was offered of hav- ing workers declared essential if they participated in the low-cost program.
 Some other children's g o 0 d S were discussed in the survey. A large share of buyers seemed to agree with a woman who called her "Victory-model" baby carriage Pretty sorry" Pre-war carriages and strollers have been put back into production from replenished stocks of steel.
 Infants play pens showed a large percentage of people failing to find them. Children's cribs were fairly high on the dissatisfaction list. But play pens and cribs are still limited by the wood furniture order This regulation has been relaxed 5 per cent. and children's goods prob ably will come in for first attention when additional lumber can be allo- cated to furniture.

 REAL PERSON BY DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDlCK
Faith Increasingly Recognized
 as Important Health Factor

unsure with which set of factors the disorder he confronts really began. Many people present moral and spiritual symptoms behind which one suspects physical cause; the loss of inward peace and of the power to pray may spring from hyperthyroid. Many others, however, crushed by physical ailments, seek spiritual resources to endure them when one suspects that the bodily ills themselves are emotionally caused. The scientific evidence to this effect Is mounting steadily. It is altogether typical to find two physicians-Dr. Daniel T. Davies and Dr. A. T. M. Wilson-after studying 205 cases of peptic ulcer concluding that in 84 per cent of the cases the symptoms began after some occasion of acute anxiety and that chronic peptic ulcer Is an example of the influence of the mind in producing structural change"
 The common sense of mankind has always known that sick mind can cause 8 sick body. Moral dis gust readily expresses itself in physical nausea; fatigued spirit makes an exhausted physique; a hated task or endurance, for which one has mo stomach" causes loss of appetite; paralysis may be due to bodily lesion. but it may be a psychological aibi, seeming entirely real and insurmountable to the vic- tim, by which he escapes the facing of a dreaded situation. AS for "ner- vousness" in all its distressing forms much of that clearly springs from non physical sources. As one phys1- clan says: "Paradoxical as 1t may sound, there is nothing the matter with a nervous persons nerves"
 Miracles" of healing are once more familiar occurrences. They involve no magic, no neglect oi scientific medicine, no absurd claim that the material is not real, nc substitution of spiritual therapy fol expert, detailed diagnosis, but they do involve recognition of the fact that to have the person as Q whole strong. hale, and hearty in mino and emotion is one of the decisive ingredients of health.
 Scientific medicine in It's early stages centered its attention on ttle fact that if the ailing part can be cured, the whole man will have chance at health: now, the compile mentary emphasis is coming to its own, that if the whole man is spiritually master over fear, anx- iety, hatred, resentment, shame and guilt, every part of him will have a stronger guarantee of being well.
 Increasingly, therefore, faith as a minister of health is recognized not simply in healing cults, with their frequently unbalanced ideas and methods, but in the medical profession itself. A new day has dawned for cooperation between the minister and the doctor. One physician says concerning angina pectoris, '"The spiritual side of the case must not be neglected in this disease in which the emotions play so important a role" and among other spiritual factors he notes "the development of a philosophy of life" as "of real medical benefit"

Neither ingenuity nor a great deal of time is necessary to prepare ice cream snowballs for the family din- ner. Simply scoop the ice cream out of the carton in round balls, roll in chopped nuts and then serve with . simple butterscotch sauce. The ice cream tastes just as good if you decide to serve it as a sundae topped with the sauce, and nuts-the snow- ball idea just adds a festive note.
 Ice cream is not as plentiful now as before the war for much of the milk and cream formerly used in making ice cream is now being made into manufactured products for our armed forces and our allies. How ever. there is still enough for all civilians to have a fair share and still leave plenty for the boys in sarviee.
