[ WE. THE WOMEN
!. The Day of the Pied Piper Is Past

And what real good would it have done if the strike had been called off as a personal favor to a crooner2 Would that have been any triumph for democracy Rather, wouldn't 1t have been one more evil dence of the sheep-like. behavior of today's bobby soxers?
 If Gary wants to teach its chil- dren something about democracy, why doesn't 1t ask some of it's own war heroes to talk?
 APPEAL TO THEIR MINDS
 Why not let men who have fought for democracy tell the youngsters the dangers of stirring up race hatreds? Why not appeal to their minds instead of to their emotions2
 After all, they are old enough to be treated as intelligent adults. In a year or two they would have been old enough to fight for their country, had the war continued that long. So they certainly are old enough to be reasoned with, rather than sickened by emotional appeals.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 DySentery

Have been told that visitors here from foreign countries handle food and eating utensils We can get dysentery or malaria if they have had either disease. For instance people who have come here from India. (R. A S)
 Answer Not malaria-that is carried only by bite of infected mosquitoes. Persons who have had either form of dysentery (bacillary or amebic) may continue to be carriers long after apparent re- covery, should not handle food or eating utensils without having passed health department test.
 Ballet Dancing
 Ninteen, no pounds, 63 inches tall taking ballet lessons. Lied about my age to teachers who thinks pupils should not begin when they are over Is. Many say l am too old and will suffer harm physically from the strenuous prac- Using and stretching. Miss N. IT.
 Answer - can assure you that the strentching and practising will do no harm, but I do not know whether it is late to start lessons It would be wise to be honest with your teacher about your age for your own best interest.
 Goldfish
 Your statement that goldfish dc not eat mosquito larvae II have used goldfish for years to keep my pools free from mosquitoes, and since I stocked the pools with gold fish We have no more mosquitoes whereas before we were constantly annoyed. Mrs. R. D. E.)
 Answer - Thank you, Maam MinnoWs are usually the best des- troyers of mosquito larvae, perhaps because they are not supplied witt so much food, Goldfish may keep 8 pool free from the larvae if they are not too well fed.

Catholic Information Shake We'll Before
 Using!

." but listen, Jim, doesn't the Bible say, Whoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have eter- nal life2 Then why all these other things you Catholics must believe and do?"
 Because, Ben, the Bible tells us about these other things, too. How about the commandments, baptism, penance, fasting, eating the flesh of the Son of Man, and lots else? About believing only-well, St. James puts 1t rather aptly when he says, the dNils also believe and tremble.' and again, Faith without works is dead" (JameS 2:19-2O).
 ut St. James-wasn't his de- clared an epistle of straw'?"
 "Yes, by Martin Luther. But II one man can change religion, why not another and another; and so it has been until today we have 400 Christian sects and each of these house divided against itself. So- called Modernism has eaten into many denominations, teaching and preaching against the Incarnation, the Resurrection. heaven, hell, and the immortality of the soul, and in validating the entire Bible or any parts of it that contradict its theo- ries. Because of this chaos of thought, with TO authority to state what is and is not truth, l cannot blame the devout Protestant who today is almost forced to resign himself to the simple creed, I ac- cept Christ as my Savior and let it go at that.
 "But we Catholics, Ben, are sure we have the divine prescription for salvation in the God-guided tradi- tions of the Church, verified by the true interpretation of the God-m- spired Scriptures. Surely we ac- cept Him who compounded the med icine; but we are not satlsf1eo merely to look at the remedy up there on the shelf and grant It's efficacy. No, we take down the bot, tie regularly, shake well to get all the ingredients active, and then take our medicine exactly as d. rected on the label

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
 Playing baseball is fine for any one. Playing football is all right for grown men University mem not so good for youths of college age, bad for boys in high school this is just my opinion. If any par ent asks for my advice about a schoolboy training" for the foot ball team I say Unless this school boy is really a full grown man who is mentally retarded and hence still in high school such training and such endurance effort as football demands will endsnger his future well being, in my opinion"
 I hope no lamebrain coach" or other Sports" leader will try to in- fer from this that favor namby- pamby pastimeS for boys and young men. On the contrary believe the American public school system fails dismally in the education of our youth. The administrators of pub lie education have never yet given physical education serious consid- eration-the policy of American educators, or at least educators who have influence or authority, is to ignore or at most just tolerate the silly pretenses of physical educa- tion. and so it is all right with them if outsiders step in to run the football racket and distract the attention of parents and taxpayers in general from the neglect of phy- sical education in the school. If had my way a reasonable standard of physical fitness would be re- queSted in every instance and ex- posed when the east seemed flag ant. Whatever may be the reason ing by which parents justify this betrayal of the well being of theil own children, the doctot who lends his professional standing to the fraud deserves the censure of de- cent people.
 Not every schoolboy can be a stal on the baseball diamond or the running track or the gymnasium floor, but short of complete paraly- oAo CNCIJ DOy Cdll dllQ SIlOulu IldNt more or less aptitude and cultivate skill for something or other, anc that, I think, should become the theme, the special goal or direction for his physical training
 Aside from the actual harm done the growing boy by the strenuous endurance effort or football, higt school football has the effect of re- stricting physical training to can didates for the football team anc withholding it from the majority oi boys who do not try to make the team.
 For many years I have beer warning parents against the dan- gers of high school football, anc getting a good deal of harsh criti- cism for my pains-criticism iron people who have a stake in tht racket, Occasionally some parent ol boy who has suffered grave in. jury in his school football tells mt I am right-but that is too late Whatever you may think about my attitude, please bear in mind tha' l saw nothing about the moral sidt Of the question and the views I ex. press are only my own honest opinion.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Makeup Slips Spoil Effect
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

CTS stationed in England have been instructing inexperienced British girls in the art of making up their mouths, says Mrs. Mar jorie NeWson- Smith, director of the Dorothy Gray salon in Lon don. in New York on visit,
 But don't let this news throw you, Use it as food for thought, and switch your point of view, if you think our boys aren't hep to tricks,
 Returned GIs who have been engaged in art work abroad with lipsticks and brushes are apt to be very critical of any bad jobs they view at home. So check up if you're grown careless during their absence
 Plenty who aren't so hep to tricks as those we cite will still like to see makeup put on as they've dreamed American girls apply it.-sc perfectly that no one can tell that the lily is glided,

Shirt-SaUer


 If you've been shopping lately for mems shirts and shorts, you'll find they're still on the list of hard-to-get commodities And be- cause there may be little relief from shortages for a few months to come. careful launderin gis more important than ever.
 First conservation rule is to sew on missing buttons, and mend thin places or rips before laundering clothes. Then soak white shirts and shorts in warm, soapy water to loosen dirt. Never soak colored clothes, though. If dirt around the neckband and cuffs of shirt is stub- born, take a soft brush and scrub gently with suds.
 By using bluing flakes with your soap in hot water, you automati- cally blue as you wash, and save laundry that extra handling. Then use the same suds for colored things. Follow with two clear rinses and be careful not to strain ma terials when securing them to the line with clothespins.
