College Bed Important
By Gladys Miller
Good sleep pre-supposes a good
bed and a healthy body. But the
beds In the average college are a
disgrace. Not long ago I visited a
dozen or so campuses to see what
was needed and the conditions of
the rooms. I was frankly shocked
at the condition of the beds. I was
more shocked, though, at the apa
thetic attitude of the students and,
later as I discussed it with people,
of the parents.
Recently I saw that the medical
people also are realizing the dif
ficulties. The college authorities
are not to be blamed. The great'
strains that have been put on their
budgets because of the large en
•rollments, the need for additional
instructors and supplies have kept
them quite busy.
Therefore, every student and every
parent should examine carefully
the springs and mattresses pro
vided and, if they are unsatisfactory,
obtain a better one even if you have
to buy it yourself. Don’t think,
"I’m young; it doesn’t matter where
or how I sleep.” It matters more
than you think.
If the mattress is just too soft and
If the springs are firm and strong,
a rest board put between the two
may be sufficient. But if the
spring gives and the mattress has
a deep island in the center, don’t
take the chance.
With some exceptions, students!
could give up a sweater or two, an!
extra coat or some “adorable shoes”
to secure a good bed and bedding.
Last year it was reported that the
average college girl had 8 sweaters,
yet how many have the minimum
essential of six sheets and pillow
cases? To be certain of sufficiently
frequent bedding changes, students
should be taught to see that the
laundry is done regularly if the
college doesn’t do it All young
people demand adequate bathing
facilities but most of them are com
pletely ignorant of the need for
regular changes of bedding. They
usually put.it off until some older
person or the rules of the house
demand it.
Sheets should be marked per
sonally, as students always will loan
them to friends in an emergency.
The standard tapes used for camps
and schools are good but, for addi
tional Impetus to personal pride,
the student may mark her’s in in
dividual ways—large name appli
ques or names put on the tops in
chain stitch. Spreads that launder
easily are desirable and you will
be wise to buy two alike so that the
bed always will be in good condition.
Add a few small sofa cushions, as
your bed also will serve as a couch
for many friends, to be tucked un
der heads, elbows and the small of
the back.
Resolve to always have a comfort
able bed, clean, attractive and well
placed in the room.
Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowman
Today I hope to stir your determi
nation to lose the overweight which
affects your happiness much more
than you perhaps admit to yourself.
Nothing makes a woman feel middle
aged more quickly than a thick
waist, a stomach like a ball, or hips
like a shelf. You may hide this
fact from yourself, but overweight,
at any age, makes you feel awkward
and self-conscious and it makes you
act that way ! When self-confidence
and the feeling of attractiveness are
lost, personality is dampened. Be
sides, you do not feel as well as you
could because your body is burdened
by too many pounds.
Where is the lovely sleek figure ef
yesterday? Where? It is lost in
layers of fat and in lax muscles.
You CAN regain it!
Today I am printing a letter from
one of the winners of my Eight
Weeks’ Self-Improvement Marathon
which ran last January. Here it is:
"Dear Mrs. Lowman: I am writ
ing to tell you how much weight and
how many inches I lost. Another
girl and I started together. I am
married and work in an office. This
friend and I work at the same place.
"We exercised every day at work
and, therefore, could only use the
exercises which are taken standing
up. but we counted calories. I've
lost 25 pounds. My waist was 28
inches but is now 23>/2 inches. My
hips were 41 inches but are now 36
inches. I weighed 142 pounds be
fore and am 5 feet 2 inches tall.
My thighs came down from 24
inches to 21 M inches. I feel that I
still need to lose some from my
thighs. I would like more informa
tion about this.
"I feel so much better and my
clothes fit now. I want to thank
you.”
These are fine results. The thigh
New Potatoes
At a famous restaurant in New
York, we were recently served new
potatoes, done in a new and de
cidedly interesting way. With little
new potatoes in market, you might
enjoy experimenting along the same
lines.
Select the smallest potatoes and
have them as much alike in size as
possible. Scrape off the skin and
rub the potatoes with salt. Wash
them, drain them and put them in
a heavy saucepan. Add a little
more salt, cover them and let them
cook for almost 10 minutes over a
very low fire, shaking them con
stantly to prevent their scorching.
When they are done, drain off any
liquid. For 2 pounds of potatoes,
blend 3 tablespoons of butter with
2 tablespxwns of flour. Add it to
the potatoes and pour over all 1 cup
of sour cream, seasoned with minced
chives. Mix all well, cover and let
cook over very low heat until po
tatoes finally are done, soft but not
mushy. You may have to add more
sour cream if the original amount
tends to cook down.
Serve these very hot. They are
elegant with chicken or duck.
measurement is not really large but
I have sent this reader some exer
cises for that spot so she can con
centrate on them. The thighs are
usually the most stubborn spot.
This letter is interesting, not only
because of the huge success of this
contestant, but because she worked
in an office. I would guess that she
took the standing-up exercises
either before or after work, or at
the lunch Ipur. in order not to scare
her boss to death!
If you are feeling older and less
lovely because of weight and bulges,
why not do something about it?

The biggest problem en
countered by women wear
ing sizes from 38 to 44 is
being properly fitted. Run
ning a ciose second is getting
a style that is flattering and
not "old-woman" looking.
This year these sizes will
be given much nicer styling
than they have been in the
past. Manufacturers are de
signing more clothes for this
"hard-to-fit" group who pos
sess more than their fair
share of figure problems.
Colors will be lighter in
most cases. Deep, dark col
ors tend to show up wrinkles
and lines. There is a return
to simpler lines going up
and down, rather than
across the hips and the bust.
Also, there is a tendency to
return to more basic clothes
for these larger sized women.
Frills and extras ore for
women who want them and
who do not have to sacrifice
figure flattery to have them.
, To these women who "can
never find anything" in their
sizes we offer the two out
fits pictured. Both are from
a local store. The all-wool
gabardine suit with the slim
■ skirt and nicely detailed
jacket comes in sizes 38-46,
in black, brown, green, gray
and red. It also comes in
half sizes from 14 to 26.
The crepe dress pictured
is in taupe. It also comes
in black, green and wine in
sizes 38 to 44. The circular
effect of the side drape, the
nice high V neckline, are
charming and good-looking
fashion notes for the larger
woman. —ELEN I.

POLISHING BRASS?
(From Mrs. C. W. K., Silver Spring.)
Could some friend tell me how to
polish brass? There is some sort of
solution the brass is dipped in and
then it is buffed. I got somfe prices
on having my fireplace outfit
cleaned but seemed to me $45 is
out of the question. If any one
knows the solution please let me
know. I don’t mind the work and
would enjoy saving the money.

I BOOK ON OLD STEINS?
\(From Mr. E.-O. C., Chevy Chase.)
Since childhood I have been col
lecting beer steins as a hobby. It
all started with a few my grand
father gave me and my collection
now numbers about 75. I know
; nothing about most of them and
jwhat I am wondering is if any
reader knows of a book which will
tell the markings and how to identi
fy the maker and date. Several
of the steins I own have numbers,
initials, names, etc., which I have
! been told do identify them.
Any information on how to ob
tain such a book if available or of
I any expert on the subject would be
greatly appreciated.

PHILODENDRONS.
(From Mrs. D. W. R., Washington.)
Mrs. S. B.: I have four philoden
drons. all beautiful, and all from
the 10-cent store. One I have just
in water in a bird cage and it hangs
over the cage, two are in bowls of
water and the third (which was the
first one I had) is one that grows
up instead of down, and is planted
in dirt. I have an old coat hanger
made into shape of a D and the
philodendron has formed a beauti
ful D. They don’t like too much
sun, but like light and grow well
in water, but I think all plants
grow better in dirt. I have started
three ofl of one of my plants that
just grows in water. Take yours
out of the hot sun and just add
water when needed. I am sure they
will grow and you will be very proud
of them.
—
(From M. H. J., Washington.)
I have two philodendrons that are
growing beautifully in water for
over two years. They are in glass
vases on the kitchen wall, where
they get no sun at all. Just replace
water that evaporates.

(From Mrs. J. S., Washington.)
I would like to paint colorful

Could any one among your readers
advise me where I can find some
patterns, what paints to use and'
where I can have the flower pots, i
etc., glased if this is necessary.
I also would like to raise some
flowers from seed in pots in the
house during the winter and would
appreciate suggestions. How well
do carnations do for instance?

GLORIFIED GINGERBREAD. !
(From Mrs. M. S., Washington.) I
Some time ago a lady requested
favorite recipes from readers. Here
is mine: Mix % cup butter (I
now use margarine), 1 cup sugar,
2 cups flour, teaspoon cinna
mon, 1 teaspoon ginger, pinch of salt.
Mix until it forms crumbs. Set
aside 1 cup of these crumbs.
To the remaining crumbs mix to
gether 1 egg, 2 tablespoons molasses
and 1 cupful sour milk in which 11
teaspoon baking soda has been dis
solved. Beat the cake mixture
thoroughly and pour into baking
pan (9 inches) then crumble the
cup of dry mixture over the batter,
spread evenly and press down gently
with back of large spoon. Bake in
moderate oven 30 minutes. Serve
hot or cold. We like it hot with
cups of .hot cocoa. This was espe-1
daily welcomed by my daughter and
her pals of an evening during high
school days.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
(From MrsE. V. G„ Alexandria.)
Mrs C. R. A., Arlington: Since
you do not state to which of the
Hawaiian Islands you plan going,
it is difficult to say anything definite
on the housing situation. I do
know, however, that the shortage is
acute on the islands of Oahu,
Hawaii, and Mauimouso than in
Washington.
I have only visited the islands of
Hawaii and Maui but resided on the
island of Oahu for 19 months. Hon
olulu. Pearl Harbor and famous
Waikiki Beach are situated on this
island.
We were living there in a military
capacity but many of our friends
were civilians so I shall use their j
pros and cons on civilians life in the
islands.
Rents are extremely high, par
ticularly if you desire a residential
district, as I know you will. If you
haven’t already been told, you will
find that the predominating race
isn’t Hawaiian. Many races have
migrated there, particularly the
Chinese and Japanese. Most of
them are friendly and hospitable.
You won’t find there the large
spacious homes we take for granted
here. The majority of homes are
small and compact usually built on
small plots of ground. This is
understandable when one realizes
that the island of Oahu is only 40
miles long and 20 miles wide.
Now, should you plan on an island
home, may I suggest taking your
furniture along, providing it is sent
free of shipping charges. If you
must stand your own transportation
charges, you may be wise to pur
chase furniture over there. To give
you an idea of the price of mer
chandise in Hawaii, I found that the
same washing machine cost 40 to 50
dollars more there than here.
Furnished homes there are rare, so
perhaps you should decide on hav
ing your own furniture.
Furniture in Hawaii varies very
little from that used here. One ex
ception would be the popularity of
rattan, we refer to it as bamboo or
cane. The best quality is quite ex
pensive but very beautiful. I've
never seen anything comparable to
it in the U. S.
I should like to refer you to an
article bn Hawaii in the June or July
issue of "Better Homes and Gar
dens.” You will enjoy it immensely
and perhaps gain Invaluable Infor
mation in your plight.
I might also suggest you write
Miss Fixit, in care of the Honolulu
Advertiser, for information regard
ing homes or what have you. She’s
a wizard and wrttes a most interest
ing column for the morning paper.
It contains questions and answers
only.
A happy journey to you and give
my "alola” to Hawaii. It's truly
a land of beauty.

OUTDOOR FIREPLACE?
(From V. M. R„ Washington.)

ture as well as the beauty of one. j

RECORDINGS.
(From Mrs. G. C., Silver Spring.)
If M. F. M. is interested in Stephen
Foster recordings, I should like to
recommend highly the charming
new Columbia album “Nelson Eddy
in Songs of Stephen Foster.” This
album has been praised by the
music critics for the inclusion of
such a number of unfamiliar songs,
for the unfailing beauty of tone”
which Mr. Eddy sings them, and for
his nice sense of their varying
moods. I must disagree with the
gentleman who said in your column
that the accompaniments were
styled in the Hollywood manner, as
they have very obviously been kept
as simple as possible,

In accordance with her sugges
tion that every one send in budget

the following recipe is what you
have in mind:
Batter: One-third cup shortening,
‘A cup sugar, 1 egg beaten, 1 tea
spoon vanilla, IV* cups sifted flour,
V* teaspoon salt, 1% teaspoons bak
ing powder, % cup sirup from pine
apple. First cream shortening and
sugar, then gradually add egg and
vanilla and beat well. Add alter
nately small amounts of sifted dry
ingredients and pineapple sirup,
beating smooth after each addition.
Topping (which is placed in bot
tom of pan): Melt 3 tablespoons
butter or margarine in an 8-inch
square pan. Sprinkle with V, cup
brown sugar. Arrange over this 4
slices pineapple with maraschino
cherry or English walnut centers.
Now spread batter over pineapple
slices in pan and bake in moderate
oven, 350 degrees, 50 to 60 minutes.
Let stand 5 minutes, then turn out
on plate and serve warm. I would
like to hear how Mrs. D. A. S. likes
this recipe.
I also have a request to make.

remove white spots (which were
caused by a hot dish) from the top
of a mahogany table?

(From Mrs. M. F. D., Washington.)
In your column the other day
Mrs. D. A. S., Washington asked

He ’Doesn’t Like It’
By Angelo Patri
"I’m sorry I can't go, Aunt Mary.
I'm busy this afternoon.”
"What in the world keeps you so
busy that you can’t ever spare an
hour for recreation? This is doing
you no good. I’m coming over to
see what is the matter. I have tick
ets to this concert and you should
go. It is you who loves the music so,
not I. I’m coming right along.”
“So this is what you’re busy
about,” said Aunt Mary when she
came to the house. "Will you tell
me why a great, husky boy like
yours couldn’t carry those papers
out and sweep the garage if it need
ed doing?”
"It> got to be done today. Aunt
Mary, because the men are coming
in early in the morning to do the
roof. I’ve got to have the place
clear for them. Tommy does not
like this kind of work.”
"Do you?”
"Well, I have to do it.” Aunt
Mary went alone to the concert,
grumbling all the way. And mother
cleaned the garage because Tommy
did not like that kind of work.
Neither does mother like it.
Neither does she like washing
dishes, scrubbing stoves and cook
ing dishes she does not eat; but she
does. Neither does father enjoy
selling goods he hasn’t got to people
he doesn’t like, for a salary he has
to take to buy necessities he cannot
get. But they both keep right on
doing the best they can with what
they have and never a complaint
about what they don’t like.
Knowing this in their hearts and
minds, why do parents not pass on
the hard facts of life to their chil
dren? Why, when they know that
these children will have to do things
they do not like if they would enjoy
those they do like, do parents not
teach them to accept the bitter for
the sake of the sweet? Why doesn’t
a hard-worked mother spare herself
a little and strengthen her son a
bit more?
"It’s mother love,” they murmur.
Well, one day an elderly teacher in
our school saw a little boy kicking
his mother while she struggled
vainly to get him into the kinder
garten room. The teacher snatched
him up by the collar and the seat of
his pants, swung him into the class
room and slammed the door.
"What’s the matter with you?
Letting your son kick you. What
alls you?”
“He's only a baby. He doesn’t like
coming to school. You haven't a
mother’s heart.”
"No,” snapped Miss Maria, "but
I have a teacher’s head.”
There should be some such notion
as Miss Marla’s about this business
of "not liking it.” Better shove him
along, strengthen him a bit and save
herself a little. That would be
much better for both sides.

fected! To be certain of hygienic
cleanliness, I rely on Clorox in
every routine household clean-up.
You’ll want its greater disinfecting
efficiency for your family's health
protection. Clorox is guardian for
the laundry, too —It makes your
wash sanitary while its gentler
bleaching action gets white cottons
and linens snowy-white without
hard rubbing. One of my oldest
thrift habits is conserving linens
with Clorox! You should see the
heavy-duty dish towelS in my test
kitchen—they’re as stain-free and
fresh as the day they were bought!
The uniform, dependable perform
ance of Clorox in bleaching and
disinfecting has made it first with
America’s housewives. It’s good to
remember Clorox does these Jobs
for you gentler, faster, better, be
cause it's ultra-refined. Clorox is
free from caustic and other harsh
substances!
Who Likes Dishwash
ing? Not many people who <
answer honestly. But there
are millions of housewives
who gaily say they really
don’t mind washing dishes
—even three times a day—
if they can have Chiffon
Flakes._
Chiffon’s
all pure
soap flakes
, burst Into
suds In
stantly—
. and make
’a sneedv
Job of the dishwashing
chore. The sheer flakes of
Chiffon soap dissolve com
pletely into extra rich
creamy suds. And they last
till every cup and plate,
knife and fork and glass
shines—because they’re so
clean!
Chiffon’s pure mildness is
kinder to your hands too,
and its pure, quick-action
flakes are thrifty. They go
far—do more work for you.
There’s nothing quite like
them.
Med-Time Tipg On Toye—
If taking a cuddly toy along to bed
makes life more agreeable for your
baby, why worry? Most babies are
sociable creatures, and a stuffed
doll or animal often provides a feel
mg oi compan
ionship which is
good for them.

CHARCOAL BROILED
EFFECT FOR STEAKS
I’d lxkz all my RXADKits to try the
marvelous new way to get that
appetizing "charcoal-broiled" effect
In cooking steaks. Without charcoal
but with the aid of Kitchen Bou
quet. The traditional method Is to
broil the meat close to very hot coals
wmcn cnars u
outside and leaves
it rare and juicy
Inside. The mod- ,
ern method is to l
brush generously }
with Kitchenf
Bouauet. then
broil over a moderately hot fire, or
under moderate heat—that gfvel
you the same result and avoids thg
excessivf meat shrinkage that
comes from using exceedingly high
heat. And don’t forget, for extr^
rich, brown, delicious gravy—Kitch^ A
