| not comic, which
with violence, E blood, evil and death, and from which the heroes and heroines always escape by miracles. ‘ It is estimated that approximately 15,000,000 of these magazines are sold each month —the buyers are our little children. Members of the American Association of University Women of Gary, working with the schools, made a survey last winter and discovered that 35 per cent of children in the grades read NOTHING but comics. This news is certainly not funny.
“1It has been argued that sensation-
monging sheets are escape devices, just- as lurid love stores are escape devices for adults. We can only hope these arguments are valid; if they are not, then God help the tots of America, for it seems their
Jjelders aren’t going to!
I KNOW FROM personal contact with children that many comic addicts also love Milne, Stevenson, Baum and Carroll—but how about those who have no chance for such reading and whose mental fare consists entirely of the other putrid stuff? While organized efforts have been made — notably by Parents’ magazine—to substitute something

the right direction. Until more parents and teachers
H.|and groups do something, the edu-
cation we pay for in the class rooms continue to be nullified by the stuff which sells 25ro%s the street for a dime. Also it is ileresiing to see how the comic magazines now foment race hatreds. The villains -are always Japanese and Germans. While our boys die, fighting these creeds
children are indoctrinated with them.

COATS—AS WELL AS THEIR WEARERS—are working overtime this season. Many of the coats find themselves, in this wartime winter, topping a businesslike suit by day and a frivolous dinner gown by night. Others are equally at home in town—over trim suits and frocks —or in ‘the country—with casual slacks or sports costumes. All of them place emphasis on practicality and durability in a year when clothes have achieved the status of long-term invest ments rather than spur-of-the-moment choices. Both fur and cloth coats are being bought with an eye to adaptability and long life expectancy. For that reason; almost all of the current season’s coats are styled with deep armholes that let them slip edsily over suits and. spongy woolen frocks. Numbers of them are in short, boxy styles; others are long and loosely fit‘ting. Of the fitted cloth coats, a few have a peg-topped effect to match the new peg-topped silhouette in’ dresses. » » 2
WARM LININGS are featured in cloth coats since the prospect
- of gasoline rationing brings with it the probability of “hoofing it”
‘The lining of this coat (center) is wartime fashion news. Made of brushed-knit fabrics woven or rayon yarn, it has the sheepskin look of wool linings now limited by government rulings. The ocollarless coat comes in a tweed mixture, sturdy and practical. Cut wide in loose, wrap-around style, without buttons, it has raglan sleeves and slashed pockets for added comfort,
down windswept streets and waiting on snowy corners. There are fleece-type linings (one of these a plushy rayon pile fabricy; linings of quilted rayons; fur linings and others that may be zipped in and out to keep up with a jittery mercury. Fur trimming may be taken or left” al®ne. Touches of fur still are popular, but running them a. close race are models—such as the Chesterfield or/ the fitted princess reefer—on which velvet collars provide the only accent. Big frog fastenings of braid or huge plastic buttons decorate other coat styles, : A notable feature of this winter’s coats is their simplicity— caused in part by government regulations to conserve wool;- in part by the manufacturers’ apparent understanding of the need for designs of enduring styleworthiness in clothes bought to last for the duration. 2 ® 8 THE LATTER TREND makes classic models prominent in the coat collections—the camelshair coat, the tweed raglan, greatcoats, trench coats, reefers, and, in dressier styles, the princess model with smaller collars of flat fur. . Because of dye shortages, many lighter shades requiring little dyestuff -are seen for winter wear,
pockets on this classic portance in the fashion

but there still are loads of the black, brown and blue shades to form the nuclei of ‘wardrobes. High shades include a poppy red shown in the line of a leading woolen manufacturer, In the same line is a grayed blue called ace blue which has proved popular. Plaids, particularly in soft, muted shades, are extremely popular and point up the demand. for “pretty” clothes that is always in evidence in wartimes. 8 8 8 FUR FASHIONS, too, stress the double-duty and durability motifs. Purs that look as well by night as by day are the favorites. That means those such as Persian lambs, sealskins, mink, beaver and sturdy muskrat, the latter in mink or sable-blended tones or in the new blond shades matching the lighter dress fabrics. Whatever the fur, it somehow manages to look slim and supple. It may be & long and ample style
”
that looks well over a suit and |
just as well wrapped around an evening frock. The importance of suits in the style scene accounts for the increasing importance of the threequarter length fur coat. For the young, slim figure, jackets, in both flat and fluffy furs, retain their place in favor.
Beauty— ‘Hoofing It’ Pays Off
By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer YOU'RE GOING to do more walking as time and the war go on. So why not, right now, try walking just for fun? It will teach you to enjoy going places on your own feet, and once you experience the benefit to your looks of walking, youll enjoy it all right any time. If you can arrange to swim three times a week, you might enjoy it more, and get more out of it. There is no better general conditioning exercise. But right next to swimming comes walking, for all-around beauty usefulness—that is, when you walk correctly and like it. Step straight ahead, toes forward, and step briskly. You don’t have to put yourself into a pant, but’ you'll
|get bored if you lag along. And you
will find it more interesting to walk somewhere, instead of just walking, even when you're doing it for fun and exercise. : Take a hike past your favorite shop windows, your favorite park tree, or any spot that’s convenient. You'll want to keep your shoulders back and arms free—which, by the
L |way, will be easy if you put your t (key and compact into a pocket in-
stead of a purse.. The purse does
encumber you, so leave it at home.
» 2 ® A half hour's walk several times a week will keep a good figure relaxed and vigorous, will help to firm stomach as well as leg and arm muscles which need exercise when their owner diets, and will} serve as a-thigh-reducer very well. If you cannot get out, you might try walking across your on all fours five times a day. Keep your knees as straight as possible, neck -in a straight line with your body. This all-fours walk, by the pe way, is excellent for relaxing after being on your feet or sitting too long, workihg.
