THE WOMEN The Holiday Is OUer Boys, Man,a WiU Take The Wheel

Papa's stopping on the corner every morning to pick up some pert young thing working in the same plant. Nor could Mama say anything about his waiting for her after work each evening to drive her home.
 CLOSED CORPORATION NOW
 It could have become pretty cozy set-up = and apparently often has with everybody's ofilcial okay. Mama was in no position to argue.
 But once there is gasoline, Papa can just expect Mama to start saying who she approves of riding in the family car.
 If it can't be worked out any other way, just leave it to Mama to decide Papa doesn't need the car after all, and she is tired of carrying groceries, etc.
 Then Papa will be in a scar pool that is a closed corporation. He'll ride to work beside Mama, who'll go back to the good old days of driving him to work and picking him up each evening. The gasoline shortage gave Papa a freeom he may never know again.

 "Oh, work" said Nancy lightly. .Emily,s no different from thou- sands of other girls working to mark time until a man comes along. Mino you, I'm not saying that she doesn't like her work. But liking work and loving a man are two different states of mind"

 He said, You're the strangest girl"
 "Why, because like to drive fast and let my hair blow?" she de- manded. "Did ever tell you was in love once?"
 He asked soberly, with Frank2"

 II can't imagine that" Jim told her. He slowed the pace of the car, and put his arm around her. Unprotesting, she leaned her bright head against his shoulder.
 Like to tell me about it?'
 ''No, Grandpa, I wouldn't. Not now. Maybe some other time. Just drive. It's nice like this. You're a comfortable sort of person." she said, dreamily.
 He drove on, very conscious of her nearness, and her attraction for him. He thought. Poor kid. He thought, I'm in love with her, I suppose. Yet if he were it wasn't at all the same feeling he had experienced for Sally, back in the hospital days. He felt pro- tective toward, and afraid for, Nancy. He worried about her. He thought, She's a grand girl, she isn't half as shallow land grasshopper- minded as she pretends. He's been more than once estranged by her glancing moods, varying. veering.

ANSWERS and QUESTIONS
 Migraine

I cannot begin to express my tfankfulness for your recommenda- ton of calcium for migraine head ache. It gave some relief from the very first dose and by the second day the migraine was over the first relief I have ever had - for years I spent nearly two days out of every week vomiting with sick headache, but for several months now I have not had more than a mid attack for a month at time. e. H.)
 Answer-I am glad to know you found relief. On written request (not q ciipping) I will send any reader who provides stamped self address Cd envelope a pamphlet on head ache. If you wish, inclose ten cents for booklet 'srhe Calcium Short varicose Ulcer
 Since using your treatment (Unna paste boot the varicose ulcer on my leg and ankle has abut healed out. Your pamphlet says to leave boot on for several weeks, but have been changing it once a week. I wonder if I am doing wrong? Should stay in bed or may I keep on working?
 GA. B. Answer-If you must change the boot so often I suggest that you use instead the other treatment described in the pamphlet-if you can get the necessary rubber sponge. With either treatment the more you walk about the better. Treatment of varicose veins and varicose ulcer is described in pamphlet available on written re- quest (no clipping, please) if you inclose stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Widow Wants Child
 I am winow, 46, in good health financially able to take care of child. I want to adopt child but the Children's Home Society pre- fcrs couples under 43 years of age and there is a long waiting list.
 (M. c. W)
 Answer-Your age and wealth are minor factors. Your character is the important factor. If the or ganization takes that arbitrary course you had better get out oi line and begin scouting for your scelf.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 A CZear, Girdle Lasts Longer
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Precipitation and body oils are death to rubber and cloth of cor sets. Treat them with special care during hot weather and keep them immaculate, because that makes fol both longevity and good summer grooming.
 Hot weather is the time, particu- larly, when corsets must be pulled on persuasively. with every hook and lace released. Think of yours also, as something to be eased off not yanked off. Regard them as something to be especially cher ished, now that there may be less rubber to yield to careless treat ment.
 When you buy, don't drive the corsetiere mad by asking for g carbon copy'' of the last one you bought. Listen to her and strir down for a fitting Heed her advice as to size, because she will not be apt to squeeze you into one that's too small.
 If you can possibly swing two new girdles, buy twins to wear alter nately and stretch out the life-ex- pectancy of each. The advantage oi twins is that each can be kept clean and in good repair between wear ings.

LATE SUMMER HEAT DEMANDS GREATER CARE FOR LAWNS

Chemical fertilizers should not be used as they are bound to burn the grass. Apply a good brand of lawn feed at the rate of 10 pounds or less per 100 square feet when the grass is dry. Brush the fertilizer of the grass, using the back of a rake or 8 lawn broom, making certain that 1t gets down to the soil where it will be of value.
 Fungus diseases such as brown patch and dollar spot are best controlled by a mercurial com- pound such as Calo-Clor or Seme- san. and follow manufacturers di- rections. Experiments have shown that two ounces of mercury mixed with five buckets of sand is sufii- cient for each 1000 square feet. Sow the mixture evenly. either by hand or by mechanical spFeader. Follow as soon as pos- slble with q fine misty spray and apply only enough water to wet the grass comparable with 6 heavy dew.
 Chinch bugs-sorry to report seem immune to all chemicals and until our armed forces defeat Ja- pan and permit the release of DOT for civilian use. we must place oiI faith in nicotine e-snlfate.

When comfortably warm clio degrees F) not hot, remove at once from heat. Add dissolved rennet tablet and stir quickly for a few seconds only. Pour at once, while still liquid, into refrigerator tray. Do not move until sci about 10 minutes. Then place in freezing compartment and freeze until nlIn. Remove from tray to bowl, break up with a fork and beat with an electric or rotary beater until free from hard humps but still a thick mush. Finish freezing.
 Now for variations:
 Caramel Ice Cream
 One rennet tablet, 1 tablespoon cold water, cups light cream 10 caramels (1-4 pound), 1-2 tea spoon vanilla. Melt caramels in 1-2 cup cream, then add remain- ing cream. Then follow basic directions above.

BIOLOGY MY EYE


 Here is a query from a high school pupil:
 Our biology teacher says it IS
 dangerous to use deodorant H.
 diiid or cream on the skin as 1t
 may stop up the pores and cause
 cancer. |, ! If the query were exceptional k'd answer it by saying there IS no objection to the use of sucn liuuid or cream, provided 1t does not set up annoying irritation, and I'd delete the reference to the biology teacher. But it is not uni- que, It is rather typical of many such queries. And so it seems to me a look at biology is indicated. Iii the first place, if you will con- 4 siilt Webster for a definition of { biology you will pardon the sardo- nice smile on my map. To dub the balderdash the uneducated teach CTS feed the highschool children biology" is as absurd as any pre- tentious hokum in Yankee popular education.
 Tn the next place, how does the teacher qualify to teach this hu- morous subject called biology" in highschool? That is easy -a any teacher who has an hour or period not taken up by some serious sub 1 feet such as physics or alegebra doubles in biology. Whats the dit? l It's all lot of hooey anyway. At least that's what the teachers of I real subpects like history, rhetoric and Latin think of human anatomy, { physiology and hygiene and that's the way the politicians on the i board of education expect teachers to think of it. ! A little squawk like this will hard 1 ly interest the men and women who administer public education. But I don't so much about that. I'm shooting at the youngsters them selves. You never know-some high school boy or girl may read this and be put on guard against the old hokum bunkem one is so likely ! to get in biology class.
