WINTER wOoDPILE
CNew Haven Register)

First frosts and first snow squalls in upstate hill country mean that woodpiles, like winter underwear, begin to take on added importance. In a wood-burning household-for such exist, even in these days of farm coal bins and fuel oil tanks there is a connoisseur's apprecia- ton of trees and their caloric ade- quacy which would astound some Greenwich Villager possessing a fireplace ready for anything vague ly resembling wood, from an egg crate to an ailanthus bough.
 Hard maple and beech, of course, are the woodpile stand-bys on a farm In addition to their well proven heating qualities these woods are favorites because of their smooth, clean quality. A farm house wife does not like scattered bark or too many splinters. Hickory, an- other clean wood, is always ac- ceptable, but often scarce. Yellow birch is handsome and ready-burn- ing, but, like white oak, is rather 'littery." However, given a sufl- ciency of hard maple and beech, with their barks gray as November sky and with split sides almost as white as a Leghorn hen, a farmer is ready to build his winter wood- pile, outdoors or under shelter. Such building is an art in itself - consisting of properly sloped head CTS" and a careful and compact facing of the wood. No leaning tower of Pisa can stand in winter winds and frost heavings.
 Certain suitable perquis1tes go with woodpile. A farmer can have his pancakes Drowned over a hard maple fire and the buckwheat tiers sweetly drenched with syrup from the same tree. He can eat bread baked with beech wood and have crust as crisp as the beech trees fallen leaves. But before he can be in such favored situations above checkered oilcloth, there is a lot of saving and splitting to be done. No farmer, of course, will ever need to join gym or country clubs-as long as there is woodpile back of the house and crosscut saw and double bitted ax in the woodshed.

Your Health
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Numerous authors and philosoph- CTS, gather from Bartlett's and Stevenson's handbooks, have talked about it in an idle, resigned way. For instance Swift said Every man desires to live long, but no man would be old" Ben Franklin said it with three less words. Emerson twisted it into this: We do not count a mans years, until he has nothing else to count" And Sopho- cles (so Stevenson says-otherwise I wouldn't know) put taunt in it: Nobody loves life like an old man.. Don't take that seriously, folks-of course we all know it is not so.
 These people talked about it but, aside from the entertainment or amusement their talk has given millions of readers, none of them has ever done anything about it.
 Now if the poets and philosophers have quite finished
 Shove over and make room for my satchel, but, thank, you, no, just sit comfortably, I'll stand and de- liver my cart-tail batter here under the light of my torch.
 The subject of my lecture, friends, is how to be happy though old. In the first place nobody knows wheth- CT you are old, nobody but you your self and you need not-in fact think you should not commit your self about it.
 In my satchel here are four things you can do about it. If my course of treatment does not appeal to your common sense or imagina- ton, you needn't-but here it is, to- wit,
 W PrOkyIactic. The Iodin Ration.
 (2) Corrective. Suitable daily
 supplementation of diet with
 essential vitamins and min erals.
 (3) Palliative. Two glasses of
 wine, ale or beer with food
 every day.
 (4) AmbulatOry. A few m eS
 of oxygen on the hoof every
 day -or the equivalent in
 in other moderate general ex-
 ercise.
 If you are fond of things in pretty packages or uollar-eighty collections of euphemismS about your nerves" you will probably mo- tice that all of these suggestions are physical. Hold on, thongh-come to think of it there is just one thing I may add
 (5) Ehuanimity. There. doesn't that sound nice? I thought l should put it in here just to show that I know psychology as well 'aS any sophomore does. How to cul- minate eVenness of mind or calm temper-well, after all, the best way I know to aeieve it is described in items 1 to 4, inclusive. as above.
 In talks to follow we shall con- slider in detail the four main fea- lures of this design for keeping as young as, your years.

VETERANS HOUSING
Boston Post)

AbOSUOl FOSL1
 Some good should come out of the conferences due to start in Wash ington today. when veterans of the last war, comprising a housing committee from the American Le- zion, will seek to determine just what is holding up building of houses. Government officials have been asked to attend and give de- tails, and the veterans themselves have something to work on, and some very definite questions to ask, as a result of their own survey. They mean to find out what is caus- ing the delays, and what can be done about it. These former serv- ice men know some of the answers. They are determined to get action. At least the veteran who has been vainly seeking a home will feel that the prospects look brighter.

OPA SHRINKAGE

Decontrol of prices inevitably makes for reduction in personnel in that agency. So marked has the shrinkage in duties become that some 10000 persons are being dis charged, 200 of them in Connecti- cut.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 VarieOsities

saftcOSaIteS
 am sports wear designer, on my feet on cement all day, walk two miles to and from work daily. Get ting little swellings of veins back Of knees. Have been dancer, still skate a good deal, legs well de- veloped, but am afraid of vaicose veins. (C. Al
 AnsWer-Cement floor has nothing to do with it. Long standing pre- disposes to yaricosities. Lie down a minute now and then during the day with legs in the air. Practice belly breathing. Avoid artificial supports. Avoid crossing knees when sitting. Avoid high marrow heels, and go barefoot or in moccasins or similar heelless, soft footwear as much as possible. Cultivate good posture. When you walk briskly, do not stroll or drag along.
 Sweating
 Your answer on the relation of sweating to health is sadly wrong. I am a registered nurse, trained in Sanitarium, and I know hydrotherapy. Any individual who has had sweating treatments and massage would never. never say he has received no benefit from some.
 ~. T.. R. ND
 Answer-That's different. I merely pointed out the physiological fact that no poison" of consequence is removed from the body by sweating. I do not doubt that various forms Of heat and massage are beneficial in treatment.

Two-Thirds an Excellent Play
By Jock O.Brion

pace is the last remembrance. A bad
first act sometimes can be ignored
even forgotten. A bad last act, how
ever, is q heavy obstacle.
"The Fatal Weakness"
George Kelly's new comedy is a
delightful display Of feminine bad
manners, with every one of its fe-
male characters possessed Of some
umpleasantness in varying form. The
most sympathetic character, the
central part played by Ina Claire
is delightfully."- obtuse approach te
a maudlin romanticism which
George Kelly fondles delightfully."-
in his writing.
Miss Claire plays woman of such
uninhibited sentimentality that she
even goes to strange weddings to
weep at the ecstacy of the occasion
drink in the beauty of the flowers
the music and the delight of the bride
and bridegroom. When her OWE
marriage breaks up, she becomes
enthralled with her husbands ro-
nance with the other woman, going
so far in the end as to attend, unin-
vited, her husbands wedding.
"The Fatal Weakness" lacks physi-
cal action, but while Kelly never has
been famous for giving his plays any
exciting movement, his writing is o1
such brilliant dramatic caliber his
characterization so adept and imag-
inatively sure that the shortcomine
is easily forgiyable. 1t is talk-talk-
talk, but very good talk.
Miss Claire breezes along at hel
delightful best. She makes a de-
manding comedy role belieyable
even warmly sympathetic.
Margaret Douglass, Mary Gildea
and Jennifer Howard provide fine
lesser feminine portraits.
The Theater Guild produced
Donald oenslager's set is a fashion
able delight. Kelly directed his play
with an eye for detail.
