 Jane burst In, a stampy pencil clutched like Q weapon ln her iist, She went at her lessons with the naurderous crouching Ap- proach of Joe Louis and long division was driving her mad by not collapslne at her first swing Ben sighted patiently, realizing that he and Jane would have Co get the best of their homework before he earned his dinner,
 WHILE Ben worked away at long W division, Collins Bishop sal hunched in a corner of the airline bus on his way from La uuardia Field into New York. He had rec turned from an unexpected and hurried trip to San Francisco by air, overtaking his letter to Kitty, and his head was still full of the motor hum of planes. and of tags and knots of legal phrases that circu- lated wearily in his mind. Neverthe- less, tired though he was, the pros- pect of the adequate but spiritually antiseptic hotel room he looked for- ward to drew his mouth into a sonber line. He decided it was the vastnesS, not the legal intracacies of the war order contracts he'd been working on, and the still greater vastneSs of problems and conflict they implied, that wore him down. Then he tried to persuade himself he was depressed because it upset the psyche to jounce across the con- tinent so fast. At any rate, 1t dis- tracted him from his real troubles to make up theories. He was tired of coming back from somewhere to no- body. But Collins knew it weakens to question a course once you'd chosen it. He set his jaw.
 THE morning dawned bland and A sunny as though spring along the eastern seaboard were always that way, instead of usually pro- ducing a crop of colds in the head that outbloomed the daffodils. Kitty felt perfectly in tune with the April day. She beamed encouragingly up- on Sara Ann who was busily throw ing all the magazines in sight on the floor. She marveled at Peg, born a good citizen and entangled lige a maypole in strands of community activities. Kitty was content for the moment not to do anything but savor the fact that she felt happier than she had in long time. Around the middle of the afternoon Peg an- nounced that she had to go down. town and speak sharply to the Grand Atlantic.
 Want to come?" she asked Kit ty.
 On the way to the Grand Atlantic Kitty reflected how much she liked Doremus and its friendly inform ality. And, having been a migratory city child, she was fascinated by her pleasant but confused impression that Peg and all the village func- tionaries had been in seventh grade together.
 Well. Peggy said the butcher in the Grand Atlantic, 'what1l it be today?"
 Kitty wandered of to look for the Clapp's strained vegetables Peg had instructed her to find and, rounding beautiful pyramid of cans, came face to face with Mag Seaton.

 The first; Co make women sec that the job of honemaking ls potentl- ally as interesting, as flill Of crea- tive opportunity and iob satisfaction as any other career open Go women,
 The second: Co arouse tn women enough varied Interests Do that their own minds donT bore them to death, The woman, who is Inter- eSted in art, music, literature, or world affairs doesn't need a radio serial to make her forget she's iron- ing. She will have 90 much to think about while she does routine tasks the radio would be an intrusion, rather than welcome relief from reality.
 IRON TO POETRY
 Long before the days of soap opera, my grandmother managed to make the job of ironing far from duh. She escaped from its routine saIneness, too, but imaginatlvely.
 There was always a book of we'll loved poems open beside her as she ironed, and as she worked she com- n1itted those poems to memory. If her grandchildren came into the kitchen while she worked, she re- cited the poems to them-and poe etry they learned In a kitchen held far more meaning for them than any they ever learned from e pro- lessor in classroom.
 But 1t is extremely doubtful if eny of the soap operas, through which 30 many women today escape from the sameness of routine iobs. will ever do anything for their edu- cation, much less the education of their children or grandchildren.

Dear Man in the Tower In my opinion yesterday was of the worst days this winter As the sleet came down. the roads and sidewalks covered with ice and both walking and driving dangerous.

LAST SCENE or ALl.--sANs
 TEETH


 I'm no poet and Shakespeare was no health authority -- or was heS Was 1t just happenstanee that he described it just that waye-LaSt scene of ali, that ends this strange eventful history. Is second child ishness and more oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. Or did he mean Go imply that when you lose your teeth, you're about ready to turn up your toes, even though you still can see large print and tell the difference between sweet and bit- ter?
 As say. I'm rcciting truth and not poetry when say the first key to vite is Save Your Teeth,
 Nor am I indulging in a flight of fancy when express the opinion that loss of one or more teeth and failure to replace them immediate ly with functionally efficient den- lures is a common cause of every day complaints of stomach trouble, aeidity, gas, indigestion, bloating, heartburn, mucous colitis" and the like. Impairment of crippling of the function of chewing, maSticating food, inevitably interferes with nor maj digestion, because an important part of the digestion of starchy food normally takes place in the mouth during mastication and continues of half an hour or more after the food has entered the stomach. This is not my notion-it is physiology as you will find if you refer to any modern textbook of physiology.
 do hope that no one reading this will infer that if his or her teeth are missing and he or she hasn't the price or the sense to get new teeth, the alternative is to avoid starchy foods. It is true that the artic explorers StefanSSon and Andersen lived for year on an ex- elusive meat diet, under constant observation and study of physici- ans, physiologists and pathologists, and both men finished the year in rather better .all-round condition than they had shown at the begin- ming of the experiment.
 But for most people. here in America, starchy foods ordinarily must and should furnish most of the daily calories-and by starchy foods I mean such foods as wheat and wheat products, potato, corn, rice, oats, beans.
 Our knowledge of the important part the teeth play in digestion and in good nutrition, health, vite, longevity, physical efficiency is comparatively new-so new that it has scarcely permeated the con- sciousnesS of many a practicing physician, to say nothing of the practicing dentist. Indeed. to read some of the most pretentious medi- cal textbooks published within the last few years you would get the impression that absence of half a dozen or more teeth from the pa- tient's mouth is of no consequence as long as the few teeth still sur- viving are not harboring a hypo- thetical septic focus. fear that few medical practitioners insist on patients sans teeth having suitable dentureS installed.
 A magazine published a picture of ships stoker and a British cab- inet minister-both men laughing and displaying yawning spaces where their teeth once were. It is conceivable that the stoker didn't know any better or that he couldn't afford dentistry. But it gives one all sorts of gloomy forebodings when a cabinet minister accepts de- feat like that.

Breakfast Starts Of Day Right
By GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

To keep your menfolk well and happy, you must feed them intelli- gently. That means you begin each morning with an adequate break fast. To be adequate, breakfast must consist of fruit in some form, either fresh or stewed, cut up or as juice, a cereal, either wholegrain or restored. and bread in some form, plain sliced toast, mullins or hot bread. Give your men more if they do hard physical work, but never anything less.

Nothing we can do is too good
From Naples, in the third year Of
her overseas service, Edith Chcath
am. Ossining, n. Y, Negro staff
aide for the American Red Cros
writes these self -effacing words
that reflect the spirit of ked Clos,
workers all over the world
Writing of occupation, the af
termath Of victory, the endless daS
filed with unceasing longing for
home; nights spent under strange
and unfriendly stars the burden
Of discipline and futile tasks" she
says, 1t is up to us, the Red Cross
workers, to do what we can to
make the burden little lighter.
For these boys who must serve
their country in an alien land while
their hearts are at home with loved
ones; for those veterans confined in
military hospitals at home, who for
us and country and our priceless
freedom have given the best they
had their health and limbs moth
ing we can do Is too good" she
says.
Pointing out the Importance of
the relief work for war refugees,
she continues:
Those who still enjoy the COM
forts of home and who do not know
what 1t is to go without food and
clothing through bitter winter
months when the body needs
warmth and nourishment, cannot
imagine the misery abroad in the
world today
In q poignant appeal to the peo-
pie at home to support the 1916
American Red Cross Fund Cam
paign for 100000 ooo which l9e
gins March /, she concluaes
Take the word Of the few who
have seen some of the misery, and
believe us when we say that your
contribution, whatever it may be,
will do a lot toward making life 81
little happier not only for our loved
ones but for our less fortunate
brothers and sisters the world
over.
