How Can |?

Q. Which is better for taking
off weight, exercise or diet con-
troll?
A. Diet or calory control def
nltely. Exercise is wonderful tor
changing your figure, but it is diff
flcult to exercise enough to de-
crease your weight. Consider-to
take off just one pound, you must
walk about 36 miles, or wash on a
washboard for % hours! It's much
easier to eat with regard for your
figure, and get all the benefits
to health and looks besides.
@. How can I prepare my own
toilet powder?
A. Two parts boric acid mixed
with eight parts starch makes a
fine toilet powder.
Q. How can I insure Kidding my
hair of all soap after shampOOing
A. After rinsing at least six
times in clear water, so that your
hair "squeaks" when you rub it
together, add the strained juice of
one lemon, or six tablespoons of
vinegar, to last rinse water. This
cuts the soap and adds a CLEAN
to your treSseS.
@. What can / do about brow
wrinkles?
A. First, you should stop the
habits that cause them. Don't
frown; don't raise your eyebrows
incessantly. Try hard to keep a
serene brow at all times. When
you cream your face, massage a.
cross these lines.

For his work during emer-

received letters Of commenda-

Of Federal Child
Labor Law Rules

AS schools open for the fall term,
farmers and commercial growers
whose crops or products go into in
terstate commerce, were reminded
today that the child-labor provis-
ions of the Fair Labor Standards
Act-the Federal Wage and Hour
Law-make it illegal to employ
children under 16 years of age in
agriculture during the hours when
school is in session, in the school
district where the child is living
while working.
William S. singley, Ohio-Michi-
gan Regional Director of the us.

Division, emphasized that the law
applies to children hired either as
individuals or as part of a family
group. These requirements apply to

Prisoner OF War
Code Established
For US. Soldier
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Pres-
ident Eisenhower today proclaim
ed a military code that holds to
the loftiest ideals of bravery, but
recognizes that every man, if cap
tured, has a breaking point under
physical or mental torture.
The Presidents executive order,
issued at the summer White House
in Denver, was made public by the
Defense Department.
An accompanying report, pre-
pared by trainers of the code, said
that since modern warfare may
reach "the doorstep of every citi
zen," it may we'll become a code
for all Americans if the prob
lem of survival should ever come
to our main streets"
The need for a code became
most apparent in the Korean war,
when a number of American cap
tives were tortured or otherwise
induced into making false state
ments against their country. Also,
a number were found to have rat
ted on their fellow prisoners.
The code proclaimed today. is
for men in combat as well as cap
tivity. 1t follows:
l. II am an American fighting
man. I serve in the forces which
guard my country and our way
of life. I am prepared to give my
life in their defense.
l. 2. II will never surrender of
my own free will. If in command
/ will never surrender my men
while they still have the means to
resist.
3. IF am captured I will con-
tinue to resist by all means avail
able. I will make every effort to
escape and to aid others to es.
cape. I will accept neither pal ole
nor special favors from the enemy.
4. IF l become a prisoner of
war, I will keep faith with ny
fellow prisoners. I will give no in
formation or take part in any act
ion which might be harmf,d to my
comrades. If am senior. l will

President Eisenhower said in a
tatement issued in Colorado:

President Eisenhower said in a
statement issued in Colorado:
mo American prisoner of war
will be forgotten by the United
States. Every available means will
be employed by our government
to establish contact with, to sup
port and obtain the release of all
our prisoners of war. Further
more; the laws of the United
States provide for the support and
care of dependents of members
of the armed forces including
those who become prisoners of
war. assure dependents of such
prisoners that these laws will con-
tinue to provide for their well
fare"
The committee said it had stud
led and rejected three main ap-
proaches to the problem of how
a man should act when captured.
1t rejected The "Sparton code"
of complete silerce as unrealistic.
The report noted on this point that
only a handful of American pris-
oners were able to maintain abso-
lutte silence in the presence of
their captors and that nearly all
went beyond the old prescribed
rule of giving only the name, rank
and serial number
