chocolate and tablespoons butter
or vegetable shortening over hot
water. Measure cups sifted con-
fectioners' sugar and add Is tea

To the reader who inquired about
mouton coat: I have had one for
over six years and during the past
few years of travelling around it has
received little care. Yet it is still
lustrous and has worn beautifully

being at the neck. I would GER

If Nom and Dad are people of

In all their dealings, and If they
have gentle manners. their children
will almost invariably stick to the
pattern their parents set for them

she hates and has just been villify-

Nor does it do any good for q
mother to tell her children that
they must cultivate good manners
and act like little ladies and gentle
men when she acts like boor and
talks like fish wife. Nor does 1t
profit her to impress on her children
that they must live together in
peace and harmony when she is In

their father.
And when man brags before his
children about the money he has
made on some crooked deal, or when

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lown an


The walls and bulses of over
weight women are 50 impressed
upon my consciousness that some
times forget their underweight sis
ters for too long q time. Yet the
problems Of the underweight are
just as real. though not quite 80
uncomfortable, as those Of the over
weight.
A nat chest, honey neck or pipe
stem legs, can give a girl a complex
just as well as a protruding tummy
and big hips can. Therefore the
next couple Of days will be dedicated
to giving the thin girl an uplift.
Inheritance plays . big part In
the question OF weight. If you come
from a lean, lanky family you your
self probably will have the same
physical inclination. However, don't
stop reading here for there are
things to be done.
Usually we find that the under
weight woman Is extremely active
and Is subject to nervous tension.
This is often apparent even in very
young women. They move about as
though they were representing per-
petual motion in a charade. rarely
stopping to relax, and are often
tense on the inside.
If your tendency is to nervous
ness and extreme activity, slow
down bit. Take a 10-minute rest
period several times a day and
really rest, don't fidget. Stop hurry
ing about. You will get there just
as fast. In other words, relax in
ternally, dress leisurely, and don't
dash about all day long. II you will
take this one measure seriously it
will go long way toward achieving
your goal.
Perhaps you also have been stuff
fing yourself with huge meals in the
hope Of snaring a few extra pounds.
Maybe, too. you have been eating
the wrong kind of food.
Exercise is a great builder-upper.
1t lessons nervous tension and in
creases appetite; that is, exercise is
a splendid aid for you If you will
not override it, Outdoor sports
should be INDUCED in conservatively
and you should stop long before you
are tired, even when in the middle
OF set OF tennis. Swimming is
grand for you. Relaxing and deep
breathing exercises are most help
full.
Try this one: Stand tall with
your feet apart. Let the head, trunk
and arms drop forward in a rag
doll manner. Raise the trunk, lift
the arms to shoulder height, palms
toward the ceiling and lower head
backward. Breathe out as you lower
trunk and flll your lungs with air as
you raise trunk. Continue.

WHITE FLUFFY ICING.
from Mrs. N. G. E., District
Uo5n6}c Nh

All OF us want our children to
grow up into being exemplary men
and women and to that end we lee
ture them continually about their
manners and their morals. Most
youngsters might well be the stand
In for the little boy who thought his
name was Johnny Don't, so often
had he heard those words from his
parents lips.
Few fathers and mothers fail to
impress the beauty Of the higher
virtues upon their children, but
when 1t comes to practicing what
they preach most of them fall Ia
mentally down, and it must make
many q bewildered youngster won-
der whether he should do as Mamma
and Papa say, or as they do. For
often the two things do not jibe and,
on the principle enunciated in the
old spiritual that everybody who
talks about heaven amt going
there" the kids conclude that their
parents were only spoofing, and let
their admonitions pass in one ear
and out the other.
This explains why parental
preachment fails to give children
the uplift that the proponents ex-
pect OF 1t. For youngsters are hard
boiled realists who are little affected
by what they hear. What motivates
them is tangible things of life that
they see about them every day
home conditions, their parents re-
lationship to each other, what sort
of principles their fathers and
mothers live by and whether they
are fakes or genuine.

counts with the children, not what
they say. And you can't fool them

C.P. Slowed Down
German Unions
By Ben Segal

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80 (LPA)
Germany, as well as the rest
of western Europe, will not go
Fascist or Communist, if the two
major requirements of economic
stability and political unity be-
tween the Social Democrats and
the left-wing Catholic groups are
met. This is the opinion of Da-
vid Saposs, Special Assistant to
the Commissioner of Labor Sta
tistics, who recently returned
from Germany.
/ The Labor Department official
was in Germany from June 1945
to August 1916, where his chief
work was aiding in the recon-
struction of the trade u n o n
movement, as Chief of the Re-
ports and Statistics B r a n h,
Manpower Division, U. S. Mill
tary Government for Germany.
"The growth and development
of the trade union movement in
Germany was quite retarded be-
cause of the mixup created by
the Communists and the mud
dle-headed liberals among the
occupation authorities in the
American zone," according to
Saposs. "It was this type of sit
uation that had to be combatted
by the non-Communist l a b or
people when they came to Ger
many"
In spite of these handicaps the
unions have made considerable
headway, with almost 80 per
cent of the organizable workers
members of trade unions, in con-
trast to the figure of little over
so per cent in pre-Hitler Ger
many. The unions are resuming
their educational and cultural
activities. In Frankfurt, for ex-
ample, the Academy of Labor,
a resident labor college is being
revived. Unions are u n n n g
classes in their communities. The
labor press has been started
again in the u. S. zone.

v determined when Miss Fitzger-
aid arrived to start her screen
career, but there was never the
merest mention.
Apparently the only explana-
ton is that in bringing their new
player to Hollywood from the
Irish Gate Theatre and the Lon
don and New York stage, her
studio simply assumed that men
tioning legs, much less asking
her t odisplay them, 81 m p y
wouldn't be good form to one of
such austere background.
Sot it was that Miss Fitzger-
AIDS legs were Utilized only as
means of locomotion, until she
was cast opposite John Garfield
In Warner Bros Nobody Lives
Forever" currently playing at
the Paramount Theatre.
When w. r. Burnett, author
Of Little Caesar" and a score
of other hits, turned in the script
for one of the most important
sequences in he picture, a series
of scenes with Garfield and Miss
Fitzgerald bathing at Laguna
Beach, there was lutte some con-
Germ. Robert Buckner, the pro-
ducer, and Jean Negulesco, the
director, conferred.
They decided they had better
make a test of Miss Fitzgerald
in a bathing suit.
They got the surprise of their
lives.
They ordered Burnett to am
plify and extend the sequence.

heretofore has always cast her
in stark drama, is most seriously
considering putting her into a
musical comedy.
Every BIO dy is exceedingly
pleased about the discovery.
OF course, 1t was no news at
all to Miss Fitzgerald herself
that she had legs. She's known
it ever since she was Is.
At that time she went to the
hospital for a minor operation
on her throat. And just as she
was drowsily succumbing to the
ether, young inferno entered
the room, whistled and said to
the nurse: Say, she's really got
a nice pair of pins, hasn't she?"
