Your Opinion Please. "It seems that the American people are in favor of the return of ratohng in order to help feed the starving people of Europe says famed news commentator Cecil Brown who bases ms re- port on the results of mail response from listeners during the past two weeks. Asking for his listeners oplnons on the question of whether this country should re- vert to the wartime procedure of food atonng in order to aid in feeding the starving people of Europe the bo commentator during the past week. has received over 5000 pieces of mail in reply. Four out of five letters urged the immediate return of raonng in order to send food abroad and there many interesting observations culed from this heavy response For instance Mr. Brown received hundreds of letters and postcards urging the abolition of banquets and suggesting that restaurants be compelled to cut down the amount of food served Then there were numerous replies suggesting that half oaves of bread be sold and the size of of food reduced number of writers opposed the return of ratonng because they claimed it would tend to stimulate black markets ana hoardng practices further breakdown of the mail re- sponse Brown reports shows that people in the big cities are heavily r favor of the return of ratonlng while far
 CTS seem to be about evenly divided the subject Tn addition many letters received from servicemen and veterans decyng the great wastage of food in the Armed Forces Some of the most touching letters were those from and mothers who lost their husbands and sons in the war They all seemed to express the same general opinion, namely that their fought and died for the American ideal of helping the peoples of the world and promoting the cause of peace and that here in the United States could well afford to ration food to save the lives of starving peoples overeas.

Season Has. Much To Do With Tonsils
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Spring has come, tra-la, but, tell me, how many members of your family have come through with tonsilS intact?
 If by any chance you have man aged to get through the winter with all tonsils intact, don't weaken now and let the tonsil snatchers get 'em.
 The general public Is unaware of the'fact, and that's the way the ton sil snatchers like em, that season and weather have good deal to do with the state of the tonsils, parti- cularly the tonsils of children.
 Briefly, here is the fact although know it does no good to tell the public this fact: The size of a child'S tonsils (both the visible ton- silS and the pharyngeal tonsl or So- called "adenoid body" out of sight up behind the soft palate) varies inversely with the amount of sun shine, skyshine, daylight that reach- es the child's skin. 4
 might add that the amount of light (ultravioleD that reaches the childS skin varies inversely with the-but maybe had better not say that just now. It is funny, but somehow it is the individual of highest I. e. who is least likely to resent the implication of ignorance, and vice versa.
 A physician examined group of school children in mid-Winter, found large number of them had en- larged tonsilS and Tor adenoids and entered on their records the recom- mendation that they should be ex- amined by the family physician to see whether their tonsils should not be removed. A few months later, in fine spring weather. the same phy- sician examined the same children. None had had tonsils removed, but none now had enlarged tonSilS andior adenoids. You see, when what people of certain level of in- teliigence call pleasant weather came. the kids were allowed to go out and play. and in spite of the fondness of people of that intelli- gence level for keeping kids oyer- dressed. these youngsters absorbed little ultraviolet light through bits of their skin that were inadyertent- ly exposed,
 Are you still listening or have you already tossed me into the scrap basket?
 But in case anybody is still liStens ing, III mention the fact that ultra violet converts a substance iEl the skin into vlosEeroi--yltamln D. If you are io0--well, f you can't bring yourself to letting the kids expose themselves as they pleaEe, there is always the alternative, namely. 70 see that each y0nngsteE takes 300 te 1900 units of vltansin D every day throughout late autumn, ginle. ana early spring.
 That's all. More exposure, more

Tournament. Mrs. Bayliss also acted as chairman of the executive com nittee for this tournament, but with all of her duties, she found time to execute 6 fine end-play on today's hand.
 Mrs. Bayliss (EasD ruffed the opening club lead and South's ace of trumps won the second trick. Another club was led, Mrs. Bay liss ruffed again, and after draw ing the last adverse trump, she ran her four hearts, discarding a small spade from dummy on the last one.
 A trump was led to dummy's $ ten and small spade led from dummy. When North played low Mrs. Bayless put up the nine-spot. South won with the ten, but could do no more than lead away from his king Of spades, which was marked in his hand by his open ing bid and North's pass. South only alternative was to give de- clarer a stuff and 8 ruff.

-----NeuO Commodity ----- --7- -----=- -- Ex-GIs Sell LiOe Pin-up Girls Alter Finding Drastic Dedrth
By MARIANNE PACHNER NEA Staff Correspondent

Cleveland, April 8--( (NEA)-Three enterpriSing ex-GI's- in Cleveland have started the sort of business that most CTS only dream about. Their commodity is live pin-up girls! ,.
 When Sterling Price, Joseph Theriot and Maurice Fisher opened commercial photography studio here two months ago, they began looking around for professional models. There were none to be had and the veterans realized they'd have to discover their own.
 Now Cleveland has e fair share of pretty girls but the question was how to get in touch with them. Figuring that the direct approach saves a lot of time, these igenious ex-soldierS started introducing themselves to comedy lasses on troll ley cars and buses, in restaurants, at soda fountains, behind counters, on the streets.
 They had to talk fast to convince the young ladies their interest was lGellAAllutC, WS ladtA lOb bA 4SpbAASt of course" said Sterling Price. "One lovely behind cigar counter even said she was tired of all the angles guys like us tried to pull. Why didn't we come right out and ask her for date? But I managed to convince her we were okay and she agreed to pose for us"
 SELLING GIRLS
 After using up a lot of shoe leather and handing out business cards by the hundreds, the big idea finally dawned. Other similar firms must be in the same boat. So why not start Q model agencyp ,.
 Price and his associates picked out the most likely looking of the girls, taught them how to pose, how to dress, how to make-up. Then they took sample pictures,
 Pretty soon they were selling" their girls to other photographers, to advertising agencies, to wash ionable dress shops. Promoters putting over exhibits conventions, fashion shows were persuaded that these models were just what they

 cealed, for the job of rousekeep- ing.
 It must be that that job is so lowly in wo1an's eyes that their egos prompt them to hfag about not having been trained for it.. So they insist that they were bet ter fitted for any other job in life than for that of running home.
 If women don't rid themselves of that attitude they won't do any better by their daughters than their mothers did by them. They will bring up girls who will also boast, some day, that they knew next to nothing, when they mar ried, about the job they chose for lifetime occupation.
 Why don't we change that false attitude right now? One genera ton could do it--tf1e generation that is bringing up children today. IT'S UP TO MOTHER
 Our schools can help in creating new attitude of pride in horne- making, but they can't do the whole Joo' A glrI must get the loea from her mother.
 As long as a mother brags about how little she knew about running home when she took on the job, her daughters are going to think they shouldn't know anything about homemaking, either.
 So, if we really were totally un- prepared for the task of house. making when we elected 1t for life, let's keep that fact to ourselves Or, at least, let's keep pride out of our voices when We mention 1t.
 Let's make the generation of girls who are growing ,2o today as conscious of the advantages of learning all they can about home- making as they are of the neces- sity for getting the proper business training, Tn all probability their business careers will be shortlived, anyway,

 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 WettinR The Hair

Is there such Q thing as washing ones hair too much? As my haid is light I wash 1t two or three times week. My mother says 1t isn't good and that I'll be bald by the time I'm twenty. (M. L)
 Answer-Washing once a week should be sufficient in many cases once In two weeks is better. Washing removes the natural oil (sebum) from scalp, and that is the best of all conditioners or beautifiers or dressings for the hair. After every shampoo, when the hair is dried, man or woman should apply to the scalp, not to the hair. a drop or two of suitable skin oil. Send ten cents and stamped self addressed envelope for booklet, "The Hair and Scalp" No clippings, please. Ask for 1t in writing.
 Old Fashioned Treatment
 Please send me advice on how to cure scabies, commonly called old fashioned seven-year itch. Our chil- dren have it and our doctor doesn't seem to be able to help 1t.

 Answer-Thank you. might have reached for Bartlett (wilo muffed iD or Stevenson (who has it duly credited to the author of David Har- um-and I bet a copy of The Medi- cine Cupboard by or Doc Brady against rainy day you can't name the author offhand). You know, always thought 1t was a Josh Bii- lings saying.
