Baby Food for Fido

RUMOR is that Washington offi-

nutrient value of food prepared for infants is high—and feeding such food to Fido is both wasteful and unpatriotic. #

Restaurant Prices

OPA is studying ways and meaas of setting price ceilings on restaurant meals—not those in the swank eateries, but the food you buy in cafeterias and lower-priced restaurants. . And the price control boys admit it’s a tough problem.

Control would have to take in quantity as well as quality. Officials point out that the job of policing restaurants to assure the proper amount of food on a priceceiling dinner would be terrific— and constant. British food authorities, though they've been at it much longer than we have, still don’t have restaurant prices under complete control. They have imposed a ceiling on meals—but restaurants can charge for “atmosphere” or the privilege of supping in an “exclusive” spot.

Mme. Sun Yatsen’s five year report gives much credit to American donations for the chubbiness of her charges. Mme. Sun interested herself in these children five years ago. Thanks to her continuous efforts, 60 day nurseries are in cperation in this border region and today more than 1000 small children are being looked after. The fathers of

More Than 1000 Small Children Are Cared for in Nurseries Near China’s Battlefields

: Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—China’s real “war babies” are children of guerrilla families in the northwest border region, according to a report sent to United China Relief here by Mme. Sun Yat-sen, widow of the Chinese republic's founder. The babies were born into a life of constant danger, in an isolated mountain region hemmed in on three sides by the enemy, and they are growing up to the sights and sounds of

adults. But in this region of semidesert, their foodstuffs often must

be brought from hundreds of miles away, and the enemy blockade makes some things, such as sugar, rare and precious.” The local sweet dates, Mme. Sun reports, are most often used as a substitute for sugar. Only a small amount of cows’ and goats’ milk is available in this region, and this must be saved for weak, ill or undernourished children. The other babies and children drink soy bean milk.

ried a man of 25. He is in the army and on the day I married him we had only known each other four weeks. I am going to live close to where he is stationed, and I am going to work, but people keep saying that the marriage will not work out. I always said that when I got married it would be on the spur of the moment, and it was. We love each other and we think that our marriage will work out. When my mother and father were married my mother was 17 and my father was 26, Do you think that this war marriage will last? Why don’t people keep their noses out of other people’s affairs? A HAPPY BRIDE,

” =

Answer—Now that you are married the thing for you to do is to devote all your energies into mak-| ing a success of your marriage. You have married a man whom you don’t know very well and in the process of getting acquainted with him you may discover some traits of character which irk you. You are a young lady who likes to have her own way and opposition increases your determination to stick’ to your course. Some day your new husband may oppose one of your desires. Then is when the real test of your fitness for marriage will occur. Then is when you must learn that one cannot always do exactly as one chooses. There is a note of defiance in your letter. You have done what you wanted to do regardless of the advice of mature people. You would like to prove that the impulses of youth are a better guide to conduct than the advice of your elders against which you impatiently revolt. This will require a great deal growing up on your part. Every marriage has it periods of

stress and strain, See that you meet {your differences of opinion with a | co-operative spirit and do not fly {off the handle the first time you meet opposition. Your husband is leight years older and your attitude toward him should not be tinged with your tendency to defy the opinions of those who have had | more experience than you have had. i After a marriage has been consummated I do think that family and friends should keep their gloomy predictions of failure to themselves and give the young couple all possible encouragement. Not every young marriage is a failure, as you have seen in the case of your father and mother. When such a marriage succeeds you may be sure that it was be-

their. childhood. They did not expect perfection’ from each other and were able to meet disappoint-:

region nurseries get meat every day, the daily ration for each amounting to about one ounce. But they have lots of fruit juices and vegetables and congee (rice gruel). The babies and older children get an egg a day. A sample menu sent by Mme. Sun mentions date jam, and custards.

Thanks to the sheep that abound in that region, the guerilla babies have warm winters, equipped with two padded woolen suits, and sweaters. For summer, each child has two suits of rough homespun. Although there is no uniform in the nurseries, each child is provided with two white aprons to guard his clothes. “When they are playing together in the courtyards,” Mme. Sun writes, “these little aprons make the children look like a swarm of white breasted ducklings.” Nursery staffs for these border region nurseries consist partly of the children’s own mothers. All are sent first to the First International Peace hospital for three months’ training in child care and child hygiene. Some are given courses

Woman's Viewpoint— ‘Legal Verbiage Serves Only To Confuse’

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer

EVERYTHING is streamlined these days except the law. It lumbers along: as usual, handing down opinions vital to the ordinary citizen in language not even Mr Blackstone could understand. ;

In order to destroy an old, useless law you have to battle through battalions of others which were created to protect it. Clearing out legal underbrush is so hard the people would rather put up with ancient monstrosities than attempt to destroy them. For example: Oklahoma is the only state whose constitution bars women from holding major office. Periodically liberal-minded citizens try for a constitutional change. The question came up again at this fall's elections and lost again, not because the people as a whole do not favor a change but. because some other fool law says that in midterm elections a ballot not marked

either way must be counted as'a

“No” vote. » ” -» “ARE YOU IN FAVOR of women holding major office in Oklahoma?" That was the issue. It could have . been ‘thus simply expressed and its sense’ grasped instantly by any voter. But another law states that no amendment may be presented unless it is couched in the exact language of the measure to be amended. As everyone knows, getting ques tions before the voters is a com:plicated and expensive business. cur laws were written by lawyers, who obviously wished to give themselves and other lawyers loopholes for evasions. The legal verbiage Wwe now encounter amounts to a jungle and it serves only one purpose--t confuse the plain citizen. \ And is he confused? Every time the federal government or one of its multitudinous bureaus sets up a new ruling the businessman has to call in more lawyers to get it translated into words he can under stand.
