Certainly all decent people will
agree with the sentiments ex-

looking and looking in your column
for an opinion from you on the
subject Of grown and half-grown
girls and even women, wearing
shorts in public places. It is not
unusual here in this hot climate
to see them worn on shopping
trips and in roadside eating places,
regardless Of the type of figure.
Aside from any moral issue, I
consider this very bad taste and
would like to read what you have
to say about it,"

THUMB SUCKING:
pTTTT,rD TT AyroDr~

BUTTER FLAVORING.
From Mrs. H.A.B., Siluer Spring
hate to write a letter disagree
ing with any of the RICH readers
as I think you are all wonderful.
However. I cannot fail to COM
ment on the letter from Mrs.
M. M. G., Washington, regarding
thumb sucking. She cited the
example of her son who sucked
till the seventh grade and emerged
without damaged jaws or teeth.
I agree with everything Mrs. M.
M. G. writes regarding the advis-
ability of determining the reasons
behind excessive thumb sucking.
I might also state that I have a
7-month-old baby who sucks his
thumb. am not worried about
it now. But I do not intend to
let it become habit after his
first birthday.
My sisters daughter has had
painful and extremely expensive
dental work done in order to cor
rect damage done by her sucking
The latest effort is a contraption
which clamps to the teeth and
around the back of her neck
which gives you an idea of the
pull necessary to bring the teeth
back in line. I do want to say
the child would not have had this
trouble without thumb sucking
as she couldn't have inherited il
from either side of her family.
Long ago, some tone asked about
the butter flavor and 7 was toe
busy to write. Now that I have
pen in hand I would like to recon-
mend it highly. I purchased mine

From Mrs. p. H., SilUer SPRING.
7 would like to cite my own ex-
perience with thumb sucking.
! have read much available in
formation on the subject and
agree that the prevention of
thumb sucking can be very frus-
trating to child. However, thumb
sucking can and does deform the
mouth and teeth in some cases.

ther damage.
A semi-permanent denture was
placed in the mouth and this was
taken out four months later. The
boy. now 3l2 years old, was COM
pletely cured with no Ill effects.
However, there will be much ex-
pensive orthodontic work neces-
sary to cure the damage already
done. I feel this side Of the ques-
ton should be presented also, to
help mothers who can see any
gradual malformation Of the
mouth or teeth.
AFRICAN VIOLET.
From Mrs. r. P. H., Hdrpers
Ferry, w. Va
We African violet growers are
venturing bravely again to take
space in the column in spite Of
criticism. I am answering Mrs.
H. G. H, Chevy Chase. The
little white lice in the saucer Of
the violets and in the soil are
spring tails. They feed on the
nutrients in the soil and are not
harmful. They can be controlled
by sprinkling Of moth flakes left
in the dry saucer day or two.
They sflou!d be emptied out be-
fore watering. Another method
is to water plants with, the in
secticide spraying solution used
for mite and other pests. Incl
dentally, these solutions should be
compounded carefully, just as the
manufacturer directs. Use meas
uring spoons and accurate water
measure.
Her bloom is probably retarded
by the repotting she did three
months ago The plants should
bud soon if given plenty Of light.
The specially prepared soil is not
too rich for them. African violets
are temperamental.
Some varieties bloom much
more profusely than others. The
usual rest period is about three
months, but have a plant that
hasn't bloomed in q year. I find
whites especially difficult and
amazons. It is a white amazon
that I am finding so stubborn.
HARVARD BEETS.
From Mrs. H. T., MARSHALL
To Mrs. j. o. Riverdale: Har-
ward beets: Cook beets until
tender, salt and cut in cubes.
Blend two tablespoons of flour
with two tablespoons Of melted
butter. add two tablespoons sugar
and add one quarter cup of vine
gar. Juice OF one lemon. Add
the liquid the beets were boiled in
and bring all to boil and pour over
beets.
Be sure the beets are clean Of,
course and don't add too much Of
the beets liquid.
This is the best recipe ! have
ever tried. ! would never eat
beets prepared any other way
but for the sad fact this recipe IN
fattening.
LEATHER JACKET.
From Mrs. II. p. Washington.J
For Mrs. r.. j.. Arlington:
To wash a Jacket with saddle
soap, wiring a small rag out Of
water and apply saddle soap to
a small area at a time. II the
garment is very dirty. rinse out
rag and wipe the dirty spots
again. Leave a film Of soap on
