an outdoor man here's suggestion:
In quest for his gift, you might look
in on one Of the supply stores in
town who are selling surplus service
property these days. There we have
seen fine outdoor jackets, canteens,
aluminium camp cooking equipment,
barometers, compasses and flash
lights with swivel heads which can
be set down and focused on an OBJ
Iject without the need of an assistant
to hold the light.
If you have record player and
dads music lover, records are very
much the gift in order. This is a
gift from which the whole family
would no doubt derive benefit. If
you know that Dad is secretly wait

him now? Place your order for

/ That is cruel way to treat these
helpless ones. Once they have been
discovered, tested, given skilled help
and proven to be helpless in our
complicated society, we should place
them in special schools. colonies
where, perhaps, they can live among
their fellows without competition,
without the haunting feeling of fail
ure that besets them in the active
world. Why don't we?
First, their parents are 'loath to
part with them. No matter how
plain the failure, how dangerous the
freedom they suffer, mothers and
fathers believe and hope for the odd
child's success.
Then, specialized schools are ex-
pensive. Odd children have no
votes and make no loud speeches.
Political leaders see no profit in Gre
ating custodial schools for children
about which people would rather
not talk, anyway. So these unfor-
tunate ones wander up and down
the earth, without a resting place
for their afflicted souls.
All such children should be re-
moved from the classes of normal
children, as soon as they are dis
covered. and placed under the care
Of especially trained teachers until
they either improve sufficiently to
be returned to their classes or prove
that they never can be returned to
society as self-sustaining members

Whether or not you see eye-to-eye
with the idea that the eyes are mir
rors OF the soul, they certainly add
a lot TO our delight in living. 1t
does seem that an individuals emo
tions and spirit are reflected in the
expression of his eyes. 1t seems,
too, than the eyes are exerciserS of
the brain and emotions. Through
them We receive stimuli for much
that is inspirational, exciting, edu-
cational and satisfying.
Many wel-trained persons feel
that eyesight is less efficient than it
should be because of injury through
abuse. The New York State Opto-
metric Association is doing a great
work IN educating the public in care
Of the eyes. The following are a
few of the rules they advocate:
l. On arising bathe the eyes freely
IN cold water. Repeat later in the
day if they become unduly fatigued.
2. Be alert. Watch for signs of
eye strain, such as froWning, scowl-
ing, lack, of ability to concentrate
and reluctance to use the eyes
for near vision.
3. Fresh vegetables, fruit and milk
supply the needed elements and
vitamins for strong eyes. Eat these
every day.
4. Beware of glare. The eyes are
strained by bright direct light
S. The child should read books
with laroe tvpn hecoI1ce II ie 90 cior
on the eyes and prevents strain.
6. Keep the head erect while read
ing. Do not stoop over your work
or read while lying down.
T. Long periods of reading will
burden the child's eyes. The eyes of
the school child need rest. Have
him rest his eyes for minute or
two after half hour of reading.
8. Give your child the benefit of a
periodic eye examination. 1t is wise
to know the condition of the eyes
from time to time.
Much fatigue comes from eye
strain, and nothing gives one such
an appearance of age as the squint-
ing and fumbling which come from
deficient eyesight.

Mental Deficiency

There are, in every village, every
town and city. in every school in the
land, odd children who cannot take
the education and training that
would fit them into the life of the
community. They lack the essential
mentality. These children should
concern us particularly. for from
their ranks come many of the delin-
quents eventually housed in correc-
tional institutions. We are at fault
here. We should have placed such
children in safe places where they
could enjoy protected existence in
some degree of happiness and use
fulness.
When a child fails to reach ao-
ceptable standards of achievement
in learning and behavior we usually
examine him and place him in a
special class, where he remains un-
til he is dismissed because of age.
Once beyond the compulsory school,
age law, he is free to travel his
stumbling, faltering, helpless way
to disaster. Then we iail him.

less, their parents should be asked
TO demonstrate that they can accept
responsibility for their care and
also for the protection of the COM
munity in relation to them. If this
cannot be shown, then the town. city
or State concerned should be pre-
pared to take care of them for sc
long as necessary.
Neglect of such children is pos
sibly more expensive in the end
than would be good care from the
beginning.

COMMENT

fFror1 Mrs. E. M. c., Riuerdale. Nd. J
Now let's face these food shortages
with some good common sense. The
first and most important fact is,
this is lone world; we are all going
to swim or sink together. So, let's
help all we can.
Why all this fuss about bread
and meat? The body needs starches,
but not necessarily wheat, in the
form of bread. A bowl of cereal
for lunch along with a salad, would
give you the same food value of a
sandwich.
The body does need some meat,
but the cheaper cuts nourish the
body just as much as the more ex-
penslve ones, and the variety meats
are even better for us. Boiled
brisket beef and vegetables make a
nourishing meal and only one cook
ing utenSIl. Eggs and cheese are
fine providers of protein. So, let's
keep the food nourishing and simple
and the mealtime happy. Let's eat
to live and live to learn. We moth
ers can learn so much when we
teach little children. 1t is amazing
the interest little child can display
in a tiny bug, and the mechanical
convenience we take for granted
are things of wonder to a small
child.
Capture that wonder yourself and
you will feel better for it. God
did not mean that our only thoughts
of Him should be solemn ones in
church, but that we should be happy
in the wonderful, intricate world
He made for us!

CRAWFISH RECIPE:

PINEAPPLE CUSTARD?
From Mrs. D. NICK, Washington.
To Miss j. D. of Takoma: I re-
membered that in my cookbook
there was a true crawfish bisque
from Louisiana. However, I have
not tested this recipe at all. Here
it is:
Soak 2 dozen craWfish in cold
water for 80 minutes, wash care
fully, using a brush. Place in soup
kettle with l quart of water. l diced
onion, 2 diced carrots, l tablespoon
minced parsley, stalks celery and
u teaspoon thyme. Bring to boil
and cook for 25 minutes. Drain,
saving stock. Remove all meat from
heads and bodies of fish. Use meat
in crawfish stuffing. Strain stock.
Fill crawfish heads with stufhng
Dredge with flour and brown in
butter. Drain on absorbent paper
and keep hot. Blend y tablespoons
butter with tablespoon flour, add
strained stock gradually and cook
IL minutes, stirring to prevent lump
ing. Season, add stuffed heads
and serve. Serves 6 to 8 persons.
Crawflsh Stufhng: Moisten 6 ia
blespoonS cracker crumbs with some
milk, add chopped crawfish meat
to 1l2 tablespoons melted butter,
add l minced onion. l tablespoon
flour, tablespoon fish broth. l ta-
bleSpoon minced parsley, salt and
pepper, simmer a few minutes, add
crumbs, simmer minutes, cool
Slightly and add l well-beaten egg.
Makes 2 cups of stuffng.
I hope it is successful. In return
I'd like to know if any one knows
a good recipe for pineapple custard.
BABY PROBLEM.
From Mrs. A. H. e., HyattsUiHe.
In answer to Mrs. S. L. H. of
Washington. your problem is iden-
tical to mine Our baby is 512
months old and has always slept
on his tummy, but now he turns
over onto his back when he is put
to bed and cries On cool nights I
have kept him on his stomach by
tucking the covers in tightly on each
side. Of course on hot nights I
have to leave him uncovered. If
he cries loud and long I go upstairs
and turn him on his stomach and
pat him a little, sometimes even
patting him to sleep. With chair
beside the crib, this patting not
only puts him to sleep in few
minutes, but it relaXes me also It
hasn't proved to be habit forming
either, as he often goes to sleep
without it when he is relaxed. One
night when I went in to cover him
I was surprised to find him asleep
on his back. And today he went to
sleep outdoors in his basket while

MARINATED HERRING;
BREAD HINT.
From Mrs. J. D. W., Alexandria. J
Will some one please tell me how
to marinate herring? I would need
the recipe for the marinade, as well
as instructions for preparing the
fish right from the river.
Quite some time ago some one
complained about recipes being
printed in more than one column
This is not important if you pick
up few straight pins. then you
get the scissors and cut a margin
about a quarter-inch at the bottom
of the recipe and pin on the part
that appears in another column.
I want to pass on a way to avoid
wasting even one slice of bread.
Any bread that isn't fresh enough
to be used "as is" should be allowed
to dry thoroughly, either in the
oven or on paper. When serving
soup toast the dried bread and serve
in place of crackers. 1t tastes just
as good as thin melba toast and
is no trouble at all l don't light
my oven to dry few slices, but
if you are using the oven just re-
member to put it in after you nave
turned off the gas.

|GaIIinger Still Short
100 Nurses Despite
Addition Of Is

Addition of rs nurses to the staff
of Gallinger Hospital within the last
rs days still leaves shortage of 100
nurses, Miss Beatrice E. Ritter,
director of nursing for the hospital,
told group at the annual leaders
conference of the District Congress
of parents and Teachers yesterday.
She said the continued shortage
of nurses poses a big problem in
the obstetrical ward, which has
doubled its number of births since
September /. A baby is born every
hour or two at Gallinger, Miss Ritter
disclosed.
Miss Ritter spoke to a conference
group on health-one of several
formed during the second and last
day of the conference at the Adams
School. The first session was held
a week earlier.
Mrs. Leo Raywid, health director
for the congress, assured the group
the Health Department was taking
steps to provide adequate medical
and sanitary inspection in the public
schools.
Her remarks were borne out later
by DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
health officer. He said sufficient
nurses would soon be available to
provide the equivalent Of II full
time nurses for the schools, las
many as we have ever had" The
number of dental hygienists also
will be sufficient, he added.
Earlier, Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman,
a member of the Commissioners
Committee on Emergency Housing,
urged PTA members to open their
homes to veterans. She said this
was the only quick way OF solving
the housing shortage.
Tracing the work of the Housing
Committee, Mrs. Hoffman said 10000
housing units were begun since
January /, but added that the need
in the Metropolitan Area is for
81, 900 units. Sixty per cent of vet
Grams seeking homes want to rent
for $50 or less, she continued.
