for the returning fathers. He
thinks that they should realize
that in their absence and in orde-
to keep the memory of them vivid
in the cnild's mind, mothers have
build up the fathers as heroes
Because of that, he thinks it is
important that the fathers go
on being heroes to their small
sons and daughters when they
come home, even though they are
not inclined to want to be heroes
to the outside world. The small
boy mas been told what an import
ant part his DAD in playing in
winning the war will feel terribly
let down if his father, because he
is a modest man, shrugs off the
whole business.
So to help Joe and the kids get
off to a good start with each other
when Joe finally does come home,
remember these things: Don't
hurry the children in accepting
Daddy. Make Dad see he is a
hero to the kids and must not, be-
cause of modesty, let them down.
And keep war talk that is for the
family within the family circle"

u. S. To Take
Postwar Lead
In Science
By DELAIDE KERR

The United States has a great
chance to lead the postwar world
in medicine and achieve the great
est national good health it ever
has had, says Dr. Florence Sabin
one of Americas most noted
scientists.
DR.. Sabin (M.D.) who now lives
in Denver, has just received the
Trudeau Medal of the National
tuberculosis Association, given
annually for 'meritorious con-
tribution to the cause, treatment
or prevention of tuberculosis. In
New York to receive the medal
DR.. Sabin said:

Blonde Shortage
Hits England
By DOROTHY ROE
APP NeWsfeatures Writer

NEW YORK =. Blondes are
scarce in England since the ar.
but British girls have more nylons
than Americans do.
So says Pat Kirkwood (herself a
brunette), London musical comedy
star who has arrived in America
to co-star with Van Johnson in a
super-colossal Hollywood product
ion.
The blonde shortage is caused ty
the disappearance of hair bleach"s
from the market, explains the
sparkling Pat. The nylons are gifts
of American soldiers.
Pats first act on arriving in New
York was to go on a gleeful shop
ping spree. Chattering enthusiastic
cally of the wonders of American
shops, she said:
Its simply marvellous, YOU
know, to be able to buy as many
dresses as you want without a ra
ton coupon. And the clothes fit so
we'll! And they're so pretty, and
so inexpensive.
THANK goodness, you don't have
utility clothing here. That's about
all you can get in England, now.

No Ration Stamp Required
BY DOROTHY ROE
Press Fashion Edit,

Associated fTeSS FdSNInOn Editor
Along about this time of year
most of us are looking longingly
at window displays of summer

unrationed fabric shoes that are

white and black.
AS to comfort-nothing is cool

Most fabric shoes do not stretch,

than leather shoes.

shoes are being made with plat.

There are low-heeled or wedgie

pnly result in confusing the chill
dren and making the father feel
like an outsider
Children, in the absence of a
father, come to accept the mother
as the answer to all of their needs
and the sole dispenser of author
ity. They become used to turning
to her alone when they are in
trouble, or need help, or want
grown-up approval of their ac-
eomplishments.
That becomes natural behavior
to the child and the mother
shouldn't try to undo it all at
Dnce Rather, she should gradu-
ally draw the father into the pic
lure, as. for instance. getting him

the children TO bed instead Of
announcing on his first night
home: Daddy will put you to
bed tonight" For that sudden
change in routine is likely to re-
suit in childish antagonism or
hears that will make the fathe-
.eel that he is indeed an outsider
and that the mother has all of the

little time children will natu-

clude him in all of their plans and

Advocates Military
Training For Women
by JOSEPH NOLAN
United Press Starr Correspondence

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June IA
Universal military training for wo-
men was advocated tonight by
Earnest A. Hooton, famed Har-

way of gratifying their desire to
wear the pants in the family.
Rigorous physical conditioning

in the art of judo and in the use Of
firearms, might 60 far to restore
to the family an equilibrium OF

an interview. ''1t might even re-

Even discounting their Amazon

benefit from the physical training
program, according to the 57-year-
old professor.

would enable them to wear pants

that i'll truth women are all alike,
and that consequently there is no
hurry about grabbing any one OF
them for life partner. Innumer-

coming"
There are other arguments, too,
in favor of training women, Hooton
maintains.
