Delinquency
By 4 ngelo Pafri

Delinquency is a mild term for
youthful criminals. We do not usu-
ally label mistakes, willfulness, tru-
ancy and the like as delinquency.
The older youths who steal, break
In, attack and in various crude
ways, force their wills on helpless
victims are delinquents.
Delinquency such as this is a So
cial disorder which we want to cure
speedily. To discover a cure we must
first find cause, and the cause of
all this trouble is as complex as the
life of the day. These children in
herit their parents characteristics;
they are nodded by their families
and their homes; they are affected
by the conditions under which they
live; they are angered by social in
justice: tormented by desires they
have no way of fulfilling: made
lawless by undisciplined feelings.
In short, these boys and girls are
creatures of inheritance and en-
vironment and to prevent their
presence among us we must assure
them of good inheritance and a
fine environment. And that indi-
Gates reform of society from the
bottom up. Time must aid us here.
But time alone cannot help us.
We must do what we can here and
now to help such young people and
ourselves. Punishment does little.
Laws do not help much. What does
Evening star., 1946-05-07

help, what will always help, Is sound
education. Not the education of
the schools for they are the breath
of society as it is, and youths quar-
rel is with just that-society as it is.
What will help these young people
is friendly understanding, sympathy
and sound common sense expressed
by trained, consecrated teacher of
social facts and whose spirit is in
accord with humanity's response to
those facts.
The teacher we need is one who
understands these children. He must
be physically strong enough to
command respect. That strength
and potential force accepted, the
children are ready to listen to the
leader who now finds games, in
terests, active work which they will
accept. Once in accord with the
leader, once they accept work and
the codes of fair play for all, not
just those of the gang, they have a
good start.
All young people want to be ac-
cepted, respected and loved. When
they find these elementary rights
cut off from their lives they are
desperate and go wrong and that is
our fault. Send the teachers out to
the slums, to the freight yards where
these lads hide to hop a train, to the
cellars and the garrets of the lofts
where they meet to carry help to
them,

In some cases exercise is of
special Importance and value. For
instance, the abdomen is strategic
spot when reducing. This is true
not only because a protruding ab-
domen usually accompanies too
many pounds, and thus spoils the
figure, but also because the tone of
the abdominal muscles is so i'm
portant to health. Lax muscles
usually go side by side with fatty
deposits. Diet will take off the
extra pounds but you will never
achieve a great loss in inches unless
you add exercise to your routine
Neither will you feel so zestful!
AS you lose weight you should i'm
prove the tone of your great abdom-
inal muscles so that there will be
no slumping.
Preventive or corrective exer-
cises can do wonderful things if they
are taken under direction and are
done sensibly. Weak arches can
be strengthened, round shoulders
and curvatures can be corrected and
mild cases of arthritis respond hap
PLY to the right kind of exercise.
Many women suffer from sacro-
lilac trouble. If the condition is
not too severe, this can be overcome
or prevented. Every woman would
be wise to add one preventive ex-
ercise to her daily exercise routine.
l. Stand erect. Bend the left
knee up in front of your upper
leg at right angles to your body
lower leg at right angles to upper
leg. Return to place. Now bend
the right knee up in front of you.
Continue, alternating, in a pranc-
ing, drum major walk.
2. Lie on the floor on your back
with your arms at your sides. Bend
the left knee to the stomach, left
foot off the floor. Now carefully
and gently move the knee outward
from the body. Move it back. Con-
tinue. Return left leg to the floor,
bend the right knee, and do the
same thing.

method Of keeping nylons" in this
evenings paper.
Like Mrs. j. H. K, I, too, had
some prewar nylons and I still have
most of them; but, unlike Mrs. j
H. K, have worn mine all through
the war, and have yet to wear a pair
Of rayons or stand in line for new
nylons. During the famine" two
pairs of my nylons which had been
worn for two years and were still In
perfect condition were given to
friends as engagement presents. So
it would seem that Mrs. j. H. K.
might have tried wearing hers and
enjoyed five years comfort, instead
of looking at them in the refriger-
ator!
Nylons never need any special
care when not being worn; they do
not deteriorate in this climate, at
any rate. Even when snagged, they
can still be worn indefinitely, as
five years wear certainly proves.

RECOVERING DOWN QUILTS.
From Mrs. J. G. p, Washington. J
A few years ago my down quilt
needed recovering. I found several
commercial firms who would do it,
but the price was more than the
original cost of the quilt. darned
the top cover, bought rayon taffeta,
made a cover like a pillow case,
whipped the seams to the edge of
the quilt, turned the cover, put it
on the dining room table, pinned in
the stitched design of the quilt with
pins to 8 inches apart, with crewel
needle, moth proofed needle point
yard tied and knotted each place
where it was pinned. 1t wasn't a

ton: Salad oil and mayonnaise may
both be made using mineral oil
(Which goes through the digestive
tract undigested) in place of vege-
table oils. Use your French dressing
recipe, substituting mineral oil for
vegetable oil. There is very little
difference in taste. But remember,
this should not be used too often
as it prevents the body's absorption
of essential food components.

eral oil: l cup mineral oil, / table

vinegar, 4 cup evaporated milk, Ia
teaspoons dry mustard, u teaspoon
paprika, l teaspoon salt. Mix salt,

lemon juice and vinegar together.
Add alternately with the oil, tea

ner we had had the night before.
For instance. if we had meat, po-

an extra plate, covered it and put
1t in the refrigerator.
An hour before lunch I put the
plate, still covered, over hot water
on low flame. Don't dry it up in

heated through and with beverage
and dessert he was quite satisfied.
Found it easier to cook an extra
chop, potato, etc, at night than to
worry about lunch-more economi-
