''for to live, each survivor had
somewhere to have betrayed

rather than in the material he

on the concentration camps a dis

on the Jew.
The Palestine war has been told

AS Burl Ives vehicle, this

produced on the assumption that
it might successfully be more a
play with music than a musical
comedy or an operatta. The en-
sembles have been cut down to
the size of summer theater stages,
dancing has been virtually elimi-
mated. the costumes are more
appropriate than lavish, and the

to two pianos.

In its digest form, "Knicker-
booker Holiday" lays its stress
upon the music and the comedy of
WE'LL and Anderson. It was An
derson's foundational jest in the
book Of the show that democracy
is government by amateurs of
people who would not tolerate
professionals in the work. In
bringing it to the very center of
this practice, Ives and his COL
leagues give 1t a strangely win
ming flavor which makes talk of
its revival of a large scale sound
rather plausible.
Except when the star himself
is singing, the score is not sung
with any special distinction but
with enough of gusto to remind

Set this down to the fact that
its revival finds the ideal star in

the governorship as giving a man

the home touch, but they will
serve.
Against all this there still re-
main the children who can get
home for lunch and again say
they are the lucky ones. Going
home for lunch is a great relief
in the school routine. The chill
dren relax and get the taste of
the school out of their mouths. A
bad morning soon fades when a
child races happily homeward
thinking Of the good-smelling
food waiting for him.
This child gets a chance to
wash himself properly, use his

table and have the invaluable re-
lief of telling his mother what
happened in school, and to him
particularly. that morning. The
child who has this experience is
a most fortunate one, lucky be-
yond his understanding.
Those mothers who can provide
this for their children are doing
them a noble service. They are
becoming fewer and fewer as the
authorities take over the task of
feeding the school children who
cannot have this privilege. Let
those mothers who can, continue
to prepare their children's lunches.

that he is lot older than his
wife. He will be almost super
human if he does not sometimes
have pangS of jealousy when they
are with younger people. She
should be very considerate about
this, especially when younger men
are present.
She should dress to suit her age
but with emphasis on style and
line and color rather than fluffy
young looking things.
She should remember that the
older man is quite likely more set
IN his ways than a younger one
would be and make it her re-

this. She must expect to be
thrown with an older group quite

The husband:
Should do his part in helping
overcome these problems by trying
to forget the difference in age. by
never letting her know If he feels
any pangs of jealousy, by seeing
to 1t that she does not give up all
OF her younger friends, by giving
up some of his set ways to fit in
with what she would like, by being
gay, good company himself.
And, the mistake of joking about
his age is one which I believe is
almost universal. The older man
is often so conscious of the differ
ence in his age and his wife's,
that he tries to minimize it by
making jokes about it. He seems
to feel that the fact that he can
talk about it and admits the diff
ference, indicates that it is not
important to him. OF course. it
does just the opposite because it
shows that he has it on his mind

At a luncheon meeting during

Borden Company presented
one-act play emphasizing the
progress made in the dairy in
dustry since the turn of the CEN
tury. The play, THE Good Ole
Daze," dramatized the changes
that have been accomplished.
Enteritis, the childhood disease
of yesteryear which was associ-
ated with impure raw milk has
now disappeared. Instead of the
"store" cheese of varying degrees
of flavor and texture, we now have
a choice of some 35 different
cheeses ;. one to suit each men,
ber of the family. Back in grand
pas day it was a major produc-
ton to freeze ice cream even
to brew cup of coffee meant first
grinding the coffee bean and 60

trast we saw how simple it is to
make a cup of pure instant coffee
and the ready availability of fine
ice cream.

When an older man marrieS a
woman many years younger than
he, there naturally are problems
which arise unless both individ-
uals are exceptional persons. I
have recently had quite a few
letters asking for help.
If the man is wealthy, many
folks will Immediately think that
she married him for his money"
although this is not true in many
cases. Yesterday I said that
vitality, aliveness, makes one at
tractive both physically and men
tally.
Many older men are much more
attractive then they were in their
younger, callow years. They have
learned to know the world, they
have become more cultivated,
more tolerant, more interesting.
The pressure of the fight for a
toehold in business may have been
lessened SO that they feel they
are ready to really live and have
time for it at last. Usually the
older man who captures the
younger wife has a youthful, gay
spirit. OF course, sometimes she
marries him because she has a
father complex.
The success of this venture de-
pends to a great extent on the
individuals. If she is mature for
her years and if he is thoughtful
and young in spirit and if their
tastes and interests are similar,
it is easier but there are prob
ably always special problems.
Here are some suggestions:
The wife should remember that
no matter how youthful her hus-
band seems, he may require more
rest than she, that he may not
really wish to dash about so much.
She should also remember that
it is almost impossible for an
older husband to forget the fact

have preferred to be less nourished
if they had had their way.
The gelatin that we know today
is relatively a new Development
and certainly a convenient and
tasty one. From meat packing
houses in Argentina come bones
of beef and veal. These are
bagged and sent to Belgium for
special processing and then
shipped to factories here. In
Belgium the bones are boiled at
about 200 degrees for a day to
remove all cartilage, grease and
meat. Then they undergo two
weeks of special chemical baths
to remove the phosphates. The
residue is called "ossein," a
brownish stuff which is packed
into bags and shipped to gelatin
factories all over the world.
