WE DINE
We recall the words of a great
man who once said: "It is better
to be a person who has tried to do
something and failed than to be
one who tried to do nothing and
succeeded." As mothers and house-

we shouid be happy for the many
efforts to do our best.
Here are a few tasty and health-
ful dishes that you can serve the

Cook the potatoes, carrots and
turnips in three cups of boiling
water until almost tender. Add
the cabbage, allowing about five
minutes for cooking. Prepare a
sauce of the melted butter, flour,
salt and milk. Cook until thick-
ened and stir this sauce into the
vegetables. Cook a few minutes
longer, until the desired consis-
tency is reached, and then serve.

SUMMER SPORTS WEAR
The great out-of-doors, vacation, the open
road, all strongly appeal to us at this time
of the year, urging us to depart from '
routine paths of everyday life. Keeping this
seasonal thought in mind, apparel designers
have taken pains to provide us with suitable
clothing for such activities. The shops are
filled with a veritable array of chic and prac-
tical summer sports wear.
Foremost in the summer parade of lovely
clothes are the stunning beach costumes. litre
color and style run riot. Lounging pa jama ,
those loose comfortable garments, providc
ample protection from the sun, yet their por-
ous material permits gentle breezes to han
full cooling effect. Many gay patterns and
color provide a wide selection suitable for
every type of complexion. Large beach hats
may be of matching material, ranging from
heavy straws to unique cellophane patterns,
Beeaus? of the varied interests of our young
people these days—tennis, golf, badminton,
swimming and many other summer sport?—
an adequate sport wardrobe should includ'
several different outfits. Shorts and slack
will again be the popular costume for mo t
outdoor events. Extreme styles in shorts and
playsuits, however, are frowned upon by those
who desire to reflect modesty, culture and
charm.
The overall slack is a practical garment for
a great many occasions. It is ideal for fish-
ing trips, hikes, picnics and for home-garden-
ing. The advantage of having them hang
from the shoulders rather than from the
waist (as do most slacks) is brought out by
leading physicians who state that clothing
hanging from the waist is apt to cause seri-
ous colon disorders in later life. Health au-
thorities urge parents to have all children's
clothing, if possible, to hang from the should-
ers rather than the waists a? ati aid in build-
ing strong, healthful bodies.
The popularity of sun-bathtng has had its
effect on the design of today's bathing suit.
The backless suit is about the only style
found now in our stores and shops. Although
sun-rays are no doubt beneficial, fashion ex-
perts are at some disagreement as to whether
backless dn -es showing a heavy suntan are
correct for street and evening wear.
The lowly sunbonnet had a rather indiffer-
ent reception when it made its appearance
about two years ago. But today it is con-
idered quite smart to wear the lovely crea-
tions now shown. Cotton is the most popu-
lar sunbonnet material in colors that are
bright and daring. They can he laundered
just as those that grandmother wore, and
are a great help in keeping that "school-girl
complexion."
Tip: Watch your hair this summer. If
you swim frequently, use an oil treatment of-
ten to help preserve the natural l-ustre. Do
XOT let your hair become sunburned. If you
do, it will take weeks and weeks of patient
treatment to restore its beauty next fall. A
word to the wise is sufficient.
Note: Remember, sports wear is prac-
tical, charming and fashionable, if worn in
the RIGHT piacc, but considered poor taste
if worn on streets, in movies, etc.
FEEDING OUR CHILDREN
It has become the great "American Pas-
time" to criticize our government and the of-
ficials we elect to office. I do not doubt but
that we could make a great deal of improve-
ment in both; yet, I often wonder if we ever
take time to give them credit for the many
good and constructive things they do. We
all atill think we live in the greatest country
on earth, and more and more we are coming
to realize that each citizen must assume his
share of responsibility for the nation's wel-
fare. One specific example of an important
work our government has undertaken is the
supply of accurate information about correct
food for children, furnished upon request.
From bulletin No. 1674, issued by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, I have condensed
the following facts printed therein and pass
the information on to
you:
"A healthy child must
have an abundance of
the right kind of food
to grow normally, be
contented and well de-
veloped. His legs should
be straight and strong,
and his weight satisfac-
tory for his build, ]
height and age. He
should have sound teeth !
and hair that is glossy,}
smooth and not brittle.)
His skin should be clear
and his color good. He
must have an alert ex-
pression, bright eyes
with no dark circles un-
derneath. He should be
active, and have a good
appetite for meals. A
strong, healthy body de-
pends upon a whole-
some appetite, right food
and good health habits
from the start.
tables. Iron is supplied by egg yolk, green
vegetables (especially thin green leaves)
dried fruits, some entire grain cereals, and
lean meat, l.iver, kidney, apricots and whole
wheat are especially valuable.
"X«xt in the list of -musts' for children are
the much discussed vitamins. The most im-
portant of these is supplied by the sun. Fruits

butter, eggs and meat
