NEW ENGLAND CLOTHING

NEW EsNJLAND SIo L nlNo-
From Mrs. r. T., Ldnhdn, Md
This is to express my gratitude
first to the Clearing House editor
for printing them. Then to Miss
M. T. of Laurel for the poem.
Twins" which I had requested. I
enjoyed the one sent in by Mrs.
r. NJ. K. of Fair Haven also. Thanks
to both of them.
Also thanks to NJ. E. M. of Wash
ington for thinking of us poem
collectors. The poem, Nobody
Knows" is as welcome as 1t is cute.
I have, thanks to all the kind con-
tributors, well over 1900 poems. To
those who might wonder what one
does with such q hobby, let me
say many happy hours, on stormy
days, have been spent reading them
to the children. They like those on
animals, flowers, children and hui
morous ones best. 1t helps their
vocabulary. When they can read
they do SO themselves, so we all
derive much pleasure from them.
i would certainly appreciate the
rest of the poem, Guernsey Lily"
sent in in part by Mrs. w. A. G.
of Silver Spring.
To the lady with 4-month- old
baby going to live in New England
this winter: Being a native New
Englander and having reared four
children to teenage there, I might
be able to help.
Places, circumstances, of course,
must be considered. Such as fur
nace-heated home, first-floor apart
ment, etc. A 4-month-old baby would
hardly reach creeping age before
early spring, but outdoor airing
does necessitate warm clothing.
Shirts should be at least part wool.
Three or four seersucker overalls.
three or four cotton shirts tknit
kind to go with these. After baby
sits up we'll. These are inexpensive.
easy to wash and needs no ironing
and warm on the legs of toddlers
even in the play pen. Some people
prefer corduroy in pastel shades.
I did not find these to wear and
look as well after repeated wash
ings. One or two dresses for dress
up purpose. Keep these cotton or
rayon. They are easier to launder.
You can always add a sweater II
it gets chilly. Two or three sweat
ers usual baby sweaters). One or
two If you can manage it-one-piece
snow suit with buttoned or drop
seat center for easy changing. This
is better than coat and leggings,
less bulky. These are generally
washable, saving cleaners bill.
Wear one or two sweaters under
meath depending. A three-piece
brushed wool or hand knit snow
suit is very nice for special occa-
Isions. Two or three knit bonnets
or hoods are not too many to allow
for drooling stage. Don't forget
mittens. Once a baby becomes ac-
tive they like to have their hands
free. Little hands do get cold
sometime through thoughtlessness

WhyGrow
Old?
By JoSebhine Lowman

THE most profitable and most
natural exercise of our mind is con-
versation. To me it is more agree
able occupation than any other in
life. ."-Montaigne.
We read and think a lot about
exercise for the body but few of us
consider exercise for the mind i'm
portant. Yet, the mind can atrophy
and grow fixed and unelastic just
as the body can unless it has its
share Of gymnastics. A youthful
outlook and give and take" atti-
tude probably have as much inf1u-
ence on vitality and happiness as
the state of our health.
This week we have been consider
ing things to avoid and attributes to
cultivate in order to improve the
quality of our conversation. There
are varying opinions as to what
makes a good conversationalist but
there are certain characteristics
which all seem to have in common.
The very best takers of all ages
seem to have had lively interest
in the world in which they lived and
warm interest in others. Good
takers are usually close observers
and therefore know much about
people and things. They are tact
| full individuals which means that
they understand people, know what
they like and dislike, and keep the
comfort of those to whom they are
speaking in the foreground of their
consciousness. Good conversation
alists almost always have a sense OF
\ humor which enables them to en-
hance every day happenings with
the quality Of humor and whimsy.
Perhaps the most outstanding
characteristic, however, is their In
terest in others. They have the
knack Of bringing others out, Of
finding out what each individual Ii
most interested ini Some lucky per-
sons seem to be born with this pass
port into the hearts of others but Il
is a habit of thought that can bt
developed. Many men and womer
are warm hearted but have formed
the habit of thinking in rather thar
out. This mental habit can bt
changed with little effort until i
becomes natural.
The effort to improve converse.
ton is splendid form of menta'
exercise. It takes study and disci'
pline to avoid such after thoughts
as, THAT was tactless Of me-" or -

We're going to skip the prelimin-
aries. and get down to business.
We want to tell you about CARE.
TO be specific. CARE means the
Cooperative for American Remit
. tances to Europe, Inc. In simple
English, CARE is an organization
that furnishes you with an eff1-
cient way to send personal help to
friends, relatives or groups in whom
you're interested in European areas.
This help is sent via food pack
age. The CARE food package
weighs 40 pounds. 1t contains 20
pounds of food, including solid
meat, stews and hashes, cereal and
biscuits, fruit jam and pudding
vegetables, sugar and candy, cocoa,
coffee and beverage powders, evap-
Grated milk, preserved butter and
cheese. Also in the package are
soap. matches and can opener
commonplace to us, desperately
needed in Europe. The CARE food
package costs Sis complete, deliv-
cred. CARE handles everything
Packing, shipping, insurance, guar
anteed delivery.
incidentally, this same package
is the United States Army's famous
"10-in-1" package, designed by the
Quartermaster Corps of the Army
to provide combat rations of 4,00(
calories for one day for each Of II
men. 1t is the country's fines
quality food, packaged during th'
war under the highest standards.
The transaction" is worked thi
way: The packages are in stock
piles or on their way to the partici
pating European countries. Whel
an order for a package is received
. the order is airmailed to the CARR
representative in the country des
ignated. When the food packag
has been delivered, the donor re
ceives an acknowledgment signe,
by the recipient. If package /

In formal statement, Kaiser
said he could not deny report that

Steel company, and Republic Steel
Corp. in "a new giant steel enter

However, Charles M White,

the Kaiser interests is completely
and absolutely silly"
Doubt also was cast on the pro-

Otis & company, Cleveland, Bank
ers for both the Kaiser-Frazer Au-
tornobile corporation and for Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron. He said he
knew nothing about the merger and
the company certainly had no
plans to finance it."
If Kaiser's reported project for
the vast merger evolves, it would
result in an enterprise closely rival

OF Many European Fights

yet varied, part of the great north
ern European plain which stretch
es from the Netherlands across
Germany into the vast flat spaces
Of Russia. It is land of dark
pine forests, windswept heaths and
shallow valleys, lonely sand dunes
and great expanses of sterile moor.
Winters in East Prussia are long
and bitter; summers, short and
fleeing. The tideless Baltic coast
is icebound three months every
year; its high shifting dunes form
long sandspit fingers (nehrunas)
which enclose large fresh-water la
goons. This nehrung coast is noted
for its world-famous amber depos-
its, its herds of elk now elsewhere
extinct in Europe, and its resort
towns. 1t was on this coast that
Goering's Hedging Luftwaffe
learned to fly in special glider
schools. East Prussia's northern
section, Masuria, is a wild primev-
al country whose dark forests are
studded with more than 5000 azure
lakes-a fisherman's paradise.
With an average yearly tempera-
ture of a degrees Fahrenheit, and
soil churned up and left by a re-

waged a relentless war against
mans efforts to make the land pro-
