Boards To Process
Men l8 to rs For
Limited Service

Local boards of selective SER
vice have been advised in Mis-
sissippi by Colonel l.. w. Long,
State Director, to process imme-
diately all men between the ages
of l8 and &c who have been
previously found qualified for
limited service. The physical
standards have been rather rig
id for general military service
but considerably relaxed for
limited military service,
Mississippi viii be expected to
furnish. in March and April a.
bout 1850 men in both categor-
les. This requires the careful re-
view of all files of men who
have previously been found quail
flied for limited service. The
local boards in every instance
will try to give the man three
weeks notice, II possible, since
he will not be required to sub
NIT to another physical exami-
nation prior to induction.
Every effort will be made to
meet the demands of the armed
forces from these groups of men
so that requirements for the
men eligible for discharge can
be had as quickly as possible.
There are not enough men ply
sically and mentally qualified
for general military service to
do this. The State Director stat
ed that 28.047 persons from Mis-
sissippi were discharged from
the Service in January which
was the largest single month
since rehabilitation started.

tuberculosis Is on
Rise All Over World
Devastated Areas Of Europe and
Asia Hit Hardest.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.-In this coun-
try tuberculosis is at its lowest ebb
in history, but it is on the upgrade
in nearly every other part of the
world, Frederick Hopkins, eXecu-
tive secretary of the National Tuber-
culosis association, reports.
Since the outbreak of the war
especially, he said, tuberculosis has
scared in the devastated areas of
Asia and Europe.
In Yugoslavia, for instance, with
a population of less than a tenth of
ours, the death rate from tuber-
culosis is as high as here and going
higher.
Approximately 500 900 persons in
the United States have tuberculosis,
Hopkins revealed. About $4,000 die
annually as a result of it.
The difficulty in treating the dis
ease effectively is that although a
case may be cured, unless the pa
tient carries on a life of good food,
proper rest, light work and healthy
living, it will inevitably recur.
Hopkins pointed out that of all
the patients discharged from tuber-
culosis sanitaria each year fully so
per cent either re-enter the hospit-
ais or die within five years.
This is not the fault of the doctors
who treat the patient, Hopkins eX-
planned, but the result of improper
care by the patient himself after
his release from supervision.
In spite of years of research,
tuberculosis still is not fully under
stood, Hopkins admitted. He re-
ferred to statistics compiled by ex-
perts on the disease.
Forty years ago tuberculosis struck
principally at young people. Latest
records, however, show that among
men the ages of SO through go are
the periods of greatest danger.
In women, tuberculosis strikes
more frequently than in men.

Dorothy Dix Says

Answer am. and I hope that
many other mothers-in- law who
read your letter will have the wis
dom and the courage to follow your
example. For, in reality, the one
and only rule for solving the in-law
problem is to keep hands off.
Just why brides should be so afraid
that their husbands will still love
the mothers who bore them. and why
they should be so jealous of their
authority over their husbands and
so afraid that their mothers in la "
will interfere with their affairs. is
one of the vagaries of feminine hu-
man nature that nobody can explain
but wise is the older woman who rec
ognizes this and walks high, wide
and handsome around her daughter
in-law's peculiarities
After all, the mother who truly
loves her son wants him to be happy
and he can't be happy in marriage
unless he is satisfied with his wife
so the mothers cue is TO try to make
her son see his wife's virtues instead
of her faults; to build her up to him
instead of pulling her down, and to
avoid friction by keeping out from
under her feet as much as possible
Being a good mother-in-law takes
a lot of wisdom and patience and
forbearance, but it has its reward
if it keeps a sons marriage going

The Young Idea
By Betty and Helen

Schools out and the feeling is
grand and glorious. There's no

that occupies your mind is the good
time you are having during your
vacation. You've lots of time to
go places" the beach is jammed
with your friends. movie date in
town with the girls can last ever so
much longer--life just rolls merrily
along!
During the latter part of the
school year you probably voiced the
opinion that you wished you had
more time to do the things you'd
really like to do. That came up
when your girl-friend mentioned
that she had just finished reading
terribly good book. Not being able
to say the same, you mumbl& and
tossed off the whole thing by saving

But are you?
The reading of good literature
opens many avenues to the boy or
girl who early in the game learns,
that a book isn't just paperweight
but something that once opened and
read becomes lifelong possession.
One of the incest compliments one
can pay another is to say that he or
she is "well-read" person.
How does one achieve that status?
Well. 1t takes a bit of applica ton.

have a good foundation. Works

COMMENTS.

fFronl Mrs. M. Y, HuattSpiue.
After reading the comments that
have been appearing in this column
the last several days I would like
to add q few thoughts. l have
gained ideas from the pros and cons
even though I haven't agreed with
either side completely. I find that
] can't live my life and do my work
exactly as others do. I live in
different home and with different
people and have different problems.
We all have our own ideas as to the
most essential things that make a
home. In some the mother does all
the houSeWork, in others she has
hired help; in others the mother
and the children do the work. In
Still others $50 they say, the hus-
band helps with the housework.
There are always meals to prepare,
beds to make, floors to clean, laun-
dry TO do and general cleaning
whicn can be done more or less on
schedule; but as for answering the
phone and the door and doing un-
expected cleaning that comes in
every home where there are chill
dren you just have to take care of
these unscheduled jobs as they
turn up.
1t has been well said Cleanliness
Is next to Goodness" but If we apply
this to our home to such an extent
that the members of the family
especially the children are under
p strain and have no freedom any
of the time what kind of a home
will We have? Or can We call it
home? know of one family where
the children are required to 60
harefooted in the house both sum-
mer and winter so the floors will not
get dirty or marked up My chill
dren have been taught to clean
their shoes before they come into
the house to avoid as much clean
ing as possible and they are also
given the responsibility of helping
with the cleaning and straighten-
ing up their own room as we'll as
the rest of the house No. they
don't always do as they are taught
but they are learning to carry some
of the responsibility Of the home
AS for scarcity of food Some one
spoke OF the downtown Washington
stores having shelves filled. Well,
sorne OF us do not live near enough
to shop in such a store and have to
get along on what We can purchase
ct the small suburban stores with a
much smaller stock on their shelves.
1t seems to me we should each
one live our own lives with little
care and worry as possible and with
as much pleasure as we can make
for ourselves and our families. No
need to envy some one because they
have more time for pleasure or be-
cause they have nicer homes than
we do. Furniture doesn't make a
home and leisure hours don't make
happiness.

from there on you can build your
own house of literature. Included
in that structure would be your
present-day fiction, noniction, po-
etry and the other reading you like.
Do not attempt, though, to go over
your head in the reading of books.
Books like many other things are
scaled various age groups. 1t Is an
intelligent thing to ask bookstore
attendant: Whats new, and what s
good in my age bracket?"/ He or
she will be only too happy to assist
you.
A few of the new books that teen
ayers will like according to one of
the reading consultants in a local
book store are the following:
Spoonhandle," by Ruth Moore,
which is humorous tale of COM
munity life in Maine: "Clementine,
by Peggy Goodin, the story of a
Glenn Kelly, the town tomboy
Tempered Blade" by NJ. Barrett,
which Is rip-roaring tale about
that fabulous Texan character. Jim
Bowie. complete with dueling, border
clashes, and the notorious pirate.
Jean Lafitte; Anna and the King
of Siam by Margaret London, a
tale of an East West character,
which also has been made into a
film. Another favorite is the follow
up book to Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay" which Emily Kimbrough
and Cornelia Otis Skinner wrote.
This one is I'VE Followed Our Hearts
to Hollywood" which Miss Kim
brough has authored, with sketches
by Helen Hokinson Ernie Pvle's
books about World War II continue
high on the teen-ager reading list.
So when the humdrum conversa-
tion of Did va see who jamie was
with last night?" gets on your
nerves, grab a good book and retire
to cool spot, Instead of just wiling
away your time youu discover how
much real pleasure can be had
inside of a books cover.
