- word meningitis means in-
~ flammation of the meninges, which
are. the membranes covering the - brain and spinal cord. The inflammation may be caused by a variety of germs, among them the streptococcus and the tuberculosis bacill
us. ‘The meningitis that comes in . epidemics, however, is caused by - small, round germs called the meningococei, which comes in pairs like two biscuits stuck together. They invade the body through the lining of the mose and throat and are spread, like the germs of the come mon cold and influenza, in the tiny droplets coughed, sneezed or breathed into the air.
MENINGITIS usually begins With symptoms of a cold and sore ‘Y throat, followed shortly by fever, severe headache, pain in the back of, the neck, mental dullness, vomiting and frequently a peculiar skin rash which the disease sometimes gets the name spotted fever. A doctor should be called promptly for anyone developing these symptoms, because meningitis is a = dangerous disease requiring expert ‘treatment. Deaths may occur in as many as 25 out of 100 patients if they are not treated. The sulfa drugs and specific anti-meningitis serums have greatly improved the outlook for meningitis patients, but they must be ‘used promptly. This. disease spreads not only from patients but from healthy persons who are carrying the germs in their noses and throats. It is more difficult to control these carriers than typhoid fever carriers. Not only are there many more
meningitis carriers, but the same;
may be a carrier at one time and not at another. Because of the carriers and because of the way the disease is spread, like colds, overcrowding greatly in- ' greases the danger of meningitis. Overcrowding in living quarters, streetcars, busses and eating places may be contributing to the present increase in meningitis,
Designers Look for
New Fastenings
This year has been a year to tax clothes designers’ ingenuity. First there was the matter of conforming styles to WPB’s cloth-sav-
r
ing regulations. % And now the designers are trying| to figure out new ways to keep your wartime clothes fastened. Metal fasteners of all sorts are up for further production curtailment. So, you can look for new styles using more tricky tie fastenings and pearl buttons, and fewer hooks and ‘eyes, snap fasteners and snap tapes.
Blackened Bulbs
When the inside of a lamp bulb begins to turn black, give it a parttime job in the attic or in a closet, and pud new bulbs in important reading lamps and fixtures. A blackened lamp bulb uses the same amount of current but wastes 2s much as 25 per cent of the light.

Homemaking—
The Market Basket: On the Family's Food for 1943
A Forecast
The often quoted statement of
every American homemaker as she plans, buys and prepares food for her family during the coming year. Under stress of war it becomes more important than ever to have a wellfed nation. . In reviewing the past, home economists point out that diets in this country were better in 1941 and 1942 than they had been during the previous five years for several reasons. Many families had more money, so could buy more and better food. The . national nutrition campaign roused public interest in better diets. “Enriched” white. flour and bread came on the market. The government arranged for more food for the needy through food stamps, school lunches, penny milk and direct distribution of food. But in 1943 more money to buy food and more interest in good nutrition will not be enough to insure better diets. For civilians will be unable to get as much of some important foods such as meat, buiter, milk and many vegetables and fruits as they would be able to willing to buy. The food civilians can have in the coming year will depend on many things—on the weather, on necessary farm supplies such as labor, machinery and fertilizer, and on processing and transportation.
The Food Picture—
LOOKING into ’43 from the last of the old year, home economists see the food picture this way: CEREALS. Civilians can count on their daily bread and breakfast porridge. For the supply of cereals will be ample. Even if the 1943 cereal crop should be short, there would still be a plentiful supply of cereals for people in the United States after all"'lend-lease and export requirements are met,

RING OUT THE OLD, RING IN THE NEW. Review the past and make resolutions for the future, Now is the traditional time for predictions and plans for the year to come. predictions and plans for 1943 concern food.
Probably the most important
the secretary of agriculture—“Food
will win the war and write the peace”—may weil be remembered by
fried foods, rich gravies and sauces, oily dressings as in the past year. The supply of fats and oils for civilians: will probably be not quite so large as in ’42, though it will probably be larger than in pre-war years.
SUGAR. The sweet tooth will be in the same fix next year as this. Sugar supplies flor 43 may be smaller than for the year 1942 as a whole, because of the iransportation situation. Americar families will probably eat more grain foods; potatoes, and beans for the food energy they have been getting from sugar. Home economists, say this may improve diets. - White sugar offers only calories, while whole grains, potatoes and beans have valuable minerals and vitamins as well. - .
POTATOES AND DRIED BEANS More sweet potatoes and dried beans are in prospect for the coming year. Large crops this year supplied a big carry-over. But the carry-over of white potatoes is not so large. If the 43 potato crop should be only. average size, white
potatoes would be fewer than last year. ’
FRUITS AND " VEGETABLES. The fresh fruits and vegetables in family meals in ’43 will depend on crops, labor for harvesting, and the shipping situation. With many fruits, a big crop one year is almost a signal that next year’s crop will be small. So, the fact that there were large crops of a number of - fruits last summer will prpbably mean some shorter crops in the year ahead. Restrictions on commercial cgnning will mean fewer| canned fruits and vegetables on the grocery shelves. So family gardens and home preservation will be more important than ever. And commercial truck growers will be urged to plant those crops that offer the most in food value,
Four Resolutions—
POULTRY, E(iGS, MEAT AND FISH. The hens of the country have done a lot for the menu in *42. There is going to be increased production of poultry and eggs, but the demand will be tremendous, especially for dried pggs for overseas shipment. Rationing of meat is expected in 1943, so that whatever the
ji civilian meat supply is, we all lies,
get our fair share. Fish will probably be smaller than in/ recent pre-war year's. MILK. The total milk may average about the year as this. But the ments of milk and milk for our armed forces and probably mean legs for civilians: In the light of these predictions, here are four appropriate New Year’s resolutions for the American homemaker: Resolved: To learn enough about food values so I can keep my famly’s meals up to the best possible standard in spite of wartime shortages. Resolved: To waste no food. Resolved: To overcome prejudices and superstitions gbout foods in order to take advaritage of all foods on the market. |
e next shipucts
Resolved: To grow and raise as much of my family’s food as possible, if I have He land and the “know-how.”

Beauty—-
Use Makeup As Accents
By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THOUGH YOU WEAR a formal evening gown less often than ke- |v fore the war, you should still keep a trick or two of evening makeup in your bag. They enable many a girl who hasn't flawless features to be the belle of the evening—especially the evening during which the girls dancing with men in uniform are dressed in modest little soft suits that give the spotlight to the pretty face.
Eye makeup, best known evening artifice, can be used to advantage
‘lby every woman. Apply your
mascara to lashes emphatically; it is accepted and it does provide extra sparkle, unless you put on so ‘much that it calls attention to the makeup instead of the eye. Use eye shadow also, to make your eyes 00k larger. ® s tJ LIGHT AND SHADE tricks that merit more attention are those which enable you to play up or play down other features—chin, nose, cheekbones. These are done with. foundation film or cream of three shades, one matching your own skin, another which is lighter, and a third which is about three shades darker. If youre harassed by having too little chin, for instance, you can practically eliminate that fact from the beholder’s attention by using lighter-than-skin foundation on it. This highlights, or makes more prominent, the feature it covers. A dark shade does the opposite. If you want to conceal a double chin, therefore, you first put the matching foundation over the face, throat and forehead, then carefully blend the darkest shade over the double chin, and apply a speck of the lightest shade to each cheekbone.
Success with this elaborate make-
up job requires practice and time,| of course, but it's worthwhile,

WAR'S GADGETS
Advances Made in Photography and New Uses of Oils and Fuels.
DAYTON, O., Dec. 30 (U, P).— Pressure of two years of warfare has brought about optical and photographic developments which otherwise might have required 100 years, Col. George W. Goddard, director of the photographic research laboratory at Wright field,
said today. Goddard told visiting newspapermen’ thai; night photographs, show-
in daylight, and infra-red photographs, which unmask the cleverest camouflage, were examples of advances made in military photography. Some of the greatest progress, Goddard indicated, has been made in ‘the field of reconnaissance photography from high altitudes, where observation planes are out of range of enemy ack-ack.’
(Cameras Developed
He described a spherical plate camera, for example, which is capable of recording all of Berlin in one exposure. The same camera, he said, could photograph a 400 square mile area from an altitude of 30,000 feet. Other phtographic marvels developed because of wartime. needs included a 40-inch telephoto lens which will define railroad ties on a sensitive plate exposed at the 30,-000-foot dying level. Goddard also described the Ki18 camera which takes a series of consecutive pictures and can, from a height of 30,000 feet, record 1600 square miles at one {oading. On a film of 410 feet long, 260 exposures cover an area four miles wide and 400 miles long. | Another camera—the Kl17—is arranged to take three exposures simultaneously—one straight down, one to the right and one to the left, thus recording a strip of enemy territory from horizon to horizon.
‘Weather Defied
Other scientific gadgets and developments at Wright field include: A huge wind tunnel through which the world’s largest single induction motor—40,000 horsepower— drives a blast up to- 450 miles an hour, permitting the testing of actual airplane parts for aerodynamic qualities at tremendous speeds. The blast blows through a nozzle 20-feet in diameter. Chambers which test performances of metals, oils, fuels and parts in temperatures as low as 80 degrees below zero and at simulated elevations up to 40,000 feet. Equipment to test motors up “to 8000 horsepower, several times the present power of airplane motors. Engineers doubt whether motors will reach such power during the present war, but guess they may within 10 years or so.
Flying Made Safer
Leading edges made out of alloys of pressed metal powder. These edges are filled with pores which permit air or anti-freeze sprays to seep through and function as deicers. De-icing also is accomplished by a new arrangement blowing filtered - exhaust smoke along the leading edges. Rescue equipment including 12 emergency kits for persons marooned anywhere—in the Arctic, desert or at sea. Plastic welding of metal-to-metal and metal-to-wood stronger than riveting or other fastening.

BUYING SANELY,
41 [Survey Reveals ‘No Runs’
In Face df Canned Goods Rationing.
“Still too good to be true.” That's the way one grocer summed up the way women are behaving about this business of canned goods rationing. Monday, The Times made a cross section survey of the city’s grocers and . found -that there was little evidence of hoarding. -
Calls Are Ordinary
Another check this- morning revealed “no runs.” Business in that particular line was “just about as usual” and calls for canned goods and dried and frozen fruits and vegetables generally were “ordinary.” A representative of one large chain store group said housewives still were buying sanely yesterday and the head of another group said a report of sales on Monday indicated no unusual buying. Most stores are limiting their sales of canned goods to customers, however, which probably is helping | Vv to forestall “runs.” On Sunday night, just after the announcement, grocers were skeptical of how women would react to the test of patriotism for which the government called.
Good Citizens!
Indications are that the women are doing their part as good citizens. Canned, dried and frozen fruits
February and the government is making a concerted drive to prevent a “run” on the available supplies.
