Washington - How to get more
colored and white personnel train
ed at colleges and Universities
for about $500 agricultural mar
keting jobs which Federal and
State agencies expect to fill with
in the next five or six years was
a problem discussed here last
week by a committee representing
Land Grant Colleges and the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
The committees recommenda-
lions, which will be made to the
colleges and universities, will in
clude the need for placing greater
emphasis on some courses now be-
ing offered and for introducing
new courses.
Z. A. Mayor, Administrator Of
the Research and Marketing Act,
pointed out at the committee
meeting that the Federal govern
ment, State departments of agri-
culture, State extension services
and experiment stations and pri-
vate industries are looking for
men who can do marketing jobs.
The demand will continue, he said.
Federal and State agencies receive
ing r & MA funds expect to hire
about 700 trained men and wo-
men each year for the next five
years, or a total of $500 persons.
Marketing as discussed by the
camnittee needs in some of it's
phases men and women trained in
engineering, economies, business
administration, nutritio, home
ccoomics, statistics, chemistry,
bacteriology, entomology and re-
lated fields of research. 1t was
pointed out that an agricultural
background is desirable but not
always required.
Because of the urgent need for
personnel trained in marketing,
the committee is urging colleges
and universities to offer such
courses during their summer ses-
sions.

MCCLELLAN is RIGHT ABOUT AIR POWER

An immediate crisis in our relations with Russia was
pictured by the President in his message Wednesday, to
Congress- He said in effect that face the probability of
a showdown with Russia, and must have greater military
strength if we are to come through it safely.
The President equally clear in pointing out that this
showdown need not necessarily Our aim is to
keep peace he said and he plainly implied that there
good hope of doing strong enough to resist
Rusia's aggression
In the light of that reasoning, it is strange that the
President bore down hard compulsory military train
ing and Senator Mcclellan noted urged expansion
of our Air Force
For anybody knows that first line of defense, and
first of striking back if attacked is our All
Force and our Navy 1t is strength in these two that
Russia will weigh if she aims to go all out for COM
pete mastery of Europe, and domination of the world
She knows as we'll do that the compulsory military
plan would give us immediate military power even
Congress reluctantly approved it Some time would be
uued to pass the law and set the system Then the boys
would have to be trained six months is the period men,
toned And another law would be required to nduct them
into service and complete their training.
All of that might easily take year. 1t certainly offers
little military strength for immediate crlsls Ihls Is

months at the Washngtons eyes anxousy fixed

tt is true that the President asked for a limited draft
law to bring our military forces up to authorized strength

I have q great deal OF sympathy
for the children when it comes to
choosing their clothes 30 that they
feel they belong to their group.
Anything that sets them apart, any
thing that labels them as different;
is hard for them to bear.
There Is q time for everything,
and an occasion. Dress is or should
be, an expression Of personal taste
and feeling. The feeling is impor-
tant to us all; to children it Is
keenly important. The taste Is
personal, and affects others but
slightly and rarely harmfully. The
feeling, however, can be painful to
the one concerned and children are
deeply concerned about their
clothes. So are other people.
BEGINNING with the formal oc-
casions, there Is church. Few people,
not excepting the children, think Of
entering q church in informal dress.
I have heard Of people who wanted
to 90 there in shorts, but I never
saw any, am thankful to say, for
that would make me feel most ur,-.
comfortable, If not angry. Next to
church the most formal place can
think Of Is school.
School has certain formalities,
certain deep-set traditions Of man
ners, dress, behavior and attitudes.
The teacher is the hostess. Who
ever saw a teacher who was not
dressed precisely, in good taste?
Good manners alone, then, require
that the children dress in the same
tone. They should be Immediately
clean, at least when they enter the
classroom. Their clothes should be
simple, fitting for the occasion, In
good taste. That is 80 general .
statement that 1t may require some
explanation.
Children are active, 80 their cloth
ing must allow for action. They
play and work and acquire some of
the dust and dirt Of the shop and
gym and playground, so their cloth
ing must be easy to clean.
Children belong to q group, 20
their clothes should conform In
great degree to that Of the other
children, which means they should
be as inexpensive as possible, as
neutral as possible. II the mothers
and teachers have agreed-as some
do-upon blue serge skirts and white
blouses with dark blue tie for the
girls, and blue serge knickers and
white blouses with dark blue jackets
or sweaters for the boys, 1t is in
poor taste, 1t Is unjust to child to
send him to that class In . scarlet
sweater, Eton collar and plaid tie.
He may look divine to his mother,
but to nobody else-especially to
himself.
Slack dress usually means slack
manners and we cannot afford them.

After research these chemists
working with the beauty house
decided that one special set would
do the trick. It consists OF q
cream. a pretty pair of pink satin
elbow bands lined with a washable
acetate, and pumice pillow
wrapped in fine net and dotted with
Ia rosette.
Using the set is simple enough.
At night before retiring apply the
cream to your elbows. Cover with
the elbow bands. In the morning
remove all cream. Make sure you
dry thoroughly. Pat and rub gently
with the pumice pillow.
Net result: Elbows that may be
shown With pride when you wear
that magnificent ball gown. At
the same time they will indicate
that you are interested in your
overall appearance, not just in your
face and your costume.

Bv the Chef

A very interesting letter from a
friend who is stationed in Bolivia,
high in the Andes, finds the life
there, especially the food conditions,
fascinating.
Because of the altitude, getting
things to boil is q feat in itself. In
addition to that, most stoves use
peat or llama dung for fuel-both
burn reluctantly. A staple food
everywhere in the country Is the
chuno, dried black or white potatoes
cured on ice. The black variety Is
the chief ingredient Of chairo, a
special Bolivian dish, which also
contains dried beef and which
sounds pretty grim.
However, she was enchanted with
the Bolivian version of empanadas
which abound in all forms in
Latin American countries-and sent
the recipe for "Empenadas Salte-
mas" These are small meat and
vegetable pies and take a bit of
doing, but are excellent when done.

POINSETTIA PLANTS:
ARTICLE ON VIOLETS

(Front M. H. G., Washington.)
For Mrs. J. r. G., Washington:
Poinsettia plants: I am sorry to
tell you it is impossible to make a
Christmas poinsettia plant bloom.
All poinsettia plants are forced for
Christmas. They have to be kept
at a certain temperature, almost
tropical heat, the moisture is regu-
lated and they are kept from all
sudden drafts. When the Christ
mas plants reach you, they are at
their peak. After the plants die
down and have a rest about three
or four months period and are wa
tered. they will produce lovely
foliage, but will never bloom. as the
home cannot regulate the heat as
can the greenhouse. Your Christ
mas plants strength is gone. The
greenhouse has a mother plant with
which they start the shoots for all
their plants and they get new
mother plants from California. This
Is like a young tree. This informa-
ton was given me by one of our
leading greenhouse nurserymen.
They say you might as well throw
your plants out as they are spent.
For any, one who wants fnforma-
ton on African violets, they will
find an article by an expert in a
book for cents at the red-front
chain grocery stores. 1t is the book
for November 1st on pages SO and
80. This article should settle the
continuous controversy about At
rican violets for all time.

|out Of luck unless you DO some
thing about them.
Areas Of the skin vary. The thin
skin ut the elbows darkens and
builds up its own dark pillows Of
callous for elbow-leaning. Chemists
who understand these things much
better than you or I have come up
with a three-point plan to assure
you Of Beauty at Your Elbows" !"
One Is a lubricating cream with q
slight abrasive property. Two,
while the cream remains on the
skin, preferably overnight, a protec-
tor should be over the area. Three,
a scientific pumice powder to re-
move any scaly skin should be en-
ployed. Because the skin on the
elbows Is sensitive and scratches
easily, it is important that the
pumice powder should not be over
strong or. of the sandpaper variety.
