It's the same house in which the two started their giddy marital career in the first Claudia picture four years ago. What caught Dorothy's eye this time, however, was, the bay window in the living room through which, in the original picture, she had climbed in preference to walking all around the houose to the door. That window has been converted into French door. "Claudias growing up - she doesn't climb through the window anymore" she said wistfully to Director Walter Lang. Robert Young, overhearing the remark, replied for Lang: You've got three-year-old son to do the climbing for you in this pie ture."

New York, Aug. 27-(UP)-Stand up, kick of your shoes, take deep breath-and toss your shoes out the window.
 That's advice straight from the headquarters of the American So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Feet, located in Brooklyn

| There are some "tricks" about
Introducing new foods which it is
Just as well to know about even
though you may not need to use
them. q
| Most babies love cod liver oil,
providing mother doesn't show in
any way that she doesn't like it.
1t is not a good practice to mix it
with other foods. Give it before the
bath so that if some is spilled it
doesn't get on his clothes.
Orange juice is diluted with BOIL
ed and cooled water. If it seems to
upset him it may be put into his
milk. If he is breast-fed, postpone
giving it for two or three weeks
and then start again. 1t may be
added to the milk and put on his
cereal and thus diluted.a
Cereals, the special pre-cooked
baby cereals, are usually the first
more solid foods given a baby. At
first use enough milk to make it
quite liquid, more nearly like a
thlckened milk than a cereal. If
your baby is breast-fed, starting
cereal gives you an opportunity to
introduce another form of milk
usually diluted evaporated milk.
When the first strained vege-
table or fruit is given, it is fed
with a spoon. This method helps to
accustom your baby to the spoon
as a utensil. If he doesn't seem to
like the new food, remember it
is a new texture and consistency
and not SO much a matter of a
new taste. Dilute it with milk for
the first few feelings. Either vege-
table or fruit may be thickened
with some of his cereal. 1t makes
the new food more like the cereal
he already knows.

MISSISSIPPI GETS $485, 663.69
NEGRO TOTAL $10,697.41

Washington, ID. C. (NNAP) -
Although approximately 100000
of Federal funds were spent for
trade and industrial education in
the South during the" fiscal year
ended June 80, less than 100000
of this amount was spent for the
training of Colored People, a
statistical study of the United
States Office of Education showed
last week.
Mississippi, with a predominant
colored population spent $685., 663.-
SO for the education of whites in
the trades and inductry, but only
spent $10,697,41 for similar train
ing for Colered people.
Seventeen Southern States and
the District of Columbia report
ed a total of ewelve Colored
Teachers giving instruction and
training in the trade and indus
trial education ON whose pro-
gram a total of $230,63403 was
spent from Federal Funds as COM
pared with total of 169 White
Teachers in the same field oper-
ating a program which spent ST.
736, 219.71.
Although figures on trade and
industrial education represent only
one item of Federal Expenditure
for vocational education in the
south, they point to the pattern
followed throughout the seventeen
states, a pattern which shows
wide disparity between the a.
mount of Federal Funds spent for
the education of colored people
and that spent on whites.
All over the south the pattern
is the same. Colored people are
counted when the population is
totaled for the purpose of COM
