.s, DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 42 ‘old and have two girls, The "15 21 years and almost blind ough she can get around by herf. ‘She didn’t progress well in he school for the blind and at their tion I toek her ouf. My other rl is 18 and in high school. She rked out this summer for the first , and since working has met a man 87:years old, Her father and + think she ‘shouldn't -encourage hi m too much but don’t know how ‘approach her without making her determined. She says she isn’t going to marry him. A oe have lived in the city all the : dren’s life. ‘We traded our home for a farm 10 years ago and lived on 3 ‘six months, but the children

ir tenants are leaving us in De-

p live there. anyway. The girls n't want to go. ‘The girl in high school says the gountry school doesn’t give the subects she takes and her credits would ‘ome down, The one who is blind ‘Says she'd rather go to an institu- { tion. The father and I want them to go and we will do our. best for them as Always. My husband would te our daughter to:learn to milk a ‘cow. and drive a car. Maybe it won't be a bed of roses but it is not a bad -place at all, and better than things were when we were children. WORRIED.

3 . 2.8 2 Answer—Your husband is the onomic head of the family and he

ur older daughter to live in an tution where she could learn ome sort: of work within her apacities. Your ‘younger ' daughter can’ get good” an education in country schools as she can in the city. Howver, if she wants to stay in town nd go to school it should be easy for her to find a place as a moth1's helper where she could earn her pard and room and have time to 0 to school.

_£*" Doubtless it makes you feel sor‘rowful fd¢ both girls to be away

rom home, but if you were people of means, you'd be sending them ‘away to school. Many families feel t it is an important part of the g of the young to educate away from home in order to e them more independent. Some rrangement is possible for your rls, too, if they don’t want to live the. country. JANE JORDAN.

Mrs. Pool said, “We of Hadassah have aided this war effort by focusing our magnificent machinery of service, developed over a third of a century, upon the war emergency and war needs of the people of Palestine and the allied forces. Our health work for soldiers and civilians and our countless other social welfare services strengthened Palestine as a bastion of democracy. “Has all this been enough?” she continued. “The answer must be simply stated! Whatever is necessary to defeat the.axis and all it stands for; whatever is necessary to assume victory for the allies; whatever is needed to rebuild .the world . as a global united nations with the four freedoms for all men, that alone, is enough.”

‘Back to Normalcy' Means Wore. Young Woman Editor Declares On Her First Visit to the U. 8:

By ROSELLEN ‘CALLAHAN Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—If you're hoping for the world’s return to

first time.

pretty 28-year-old editor slid back into the corner of a couch in her hotel room, hugged her crossed legs, and explained what she meant in softly clipped phrases. . “What 'is normalcy—but the very conditions which t about the world struggle today? Such normal conditions as lack of community spirit, instability in the home, personal and social barriers, waiting for the other fellow to do what was necessary for the good of all, and monopolies of vital human necessities.”

Trips Won Job

* Not’ looking in the least like the usual . conception of an economic expert, this slim outdoor type of girl, with the much-publicized English complexion, admitted that she became a foreign editor quite by chance, “I had planned to be an opera

singer,” she laughed apologetically, “put when I visited my brother in Turkey the Economist asked me to send in a few articles on the political and economic situation there, and after rettirning to London they added me to the staff. “Being a foreign editor is not so unusual today,” she explained. “Women are carrying on in many of the jobs which men have left to go into the seryice. Much of in. the army is done by women. ° They are working as foremen in factories, as office managers, anti-aircraft gunners, and in aviation. A new friendship has grown out of these war times, observed. Many personal and social barriers have been broken down all along the line. “People who never met before are now pooling their efforts to do a common job,” and there was a note of confidence in her voice as she added, “This is the beginning of an important new feeling—a feeling that we all have a stake in our community,” And then with a frown she said,

«Yet, unless we remain united after

the war, we are lost. United, that is, in defeating the evils—unemployment, malnutrition, economic dislocation—which created Hitler.” Many have shared this same high ideal, but Miss Ward has a down-to-earth solution of its problems. Offers Solution “A fact-finding commission should be set up now to determine what it will take to meet basic hi man needs later—and then meet them.

Beauty— Perfect Fi igure

By "ALICIA HART Times Special Writer

FIVE FEET, 5% inches tall . 114 pounds . . . bust 34% . .. waist 24 . . . hips 35. That’s the latest ideal figure out of Hollywood, evolved by averaging the measurements of Deanna Durbin, Brenda

1Marshall, Carole Landis, Alexis

Smith, Lana Turner, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Ann Sheridan, Veronica Lake. That’s the figure that might be called “AAB”—Average American ‘Beauty—in contrast to “AA”"— Average American — which got a lot of publicity when the government made a study of Miss and Mrs, America’s proportions. And remember that “AAB” is an ideal figure; of the nine professional beauties who - contributed to it, only Deanna actually has its measurements. Veronica. is five feet two; Alexis stands five seven, Veronica also has the tiniest waist —21 inches. : : But’ the proportions of all the screen lovelies hover around those of Deanna, That is, bust and hips are reasonably near the same measurement, and the waist is somewhere near 10 inches smaller. » “ ” If your figure falls in the “AA” class rather than the “AAB;” don’t despair. There's no point in. pining aver the bony structure you were born with. Remember—especially if you're in the to-diet-or-not class *| that you're not confronting Hollywood standards in everyday life. Several-to-one, the gals in your office, shop or favorite ballroom are rather short and plumpish. And, too, since the “AA” figure was evolved, clothes are being made. to fit and flatter it. So if you have it, you needn’t go dieting and driving yourself to the detriment of your health. : Still, it’s worth recognizing that thereiis such a thing as the * figure. ' You, and your beau or boss, likely are making comparisons between you and “AAB,” instead of between you and “AA.” 80 if you care—and who doesn’t? =you'll remembe.' with pleasure that any woman, barring physical disturbances that call for medical care, can tuck in her waist or hips or bust by means of exercise, sensible diet
