Health— Meat for Baby

As Grandma Drinks Milk

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Staff Writer NOT ONLY is meat (suitably prepared) now considered by some authorities a good diet item for babies, but grandmas are being urged to drink more milk. The more milk advice applies to middle-aged and elderly people in general, not just to grandmas. Studies at the Iowa experiment station are the basis for the advice. At least a pint of milk a day is the ration recommended for the middle-aged and elderly, Besides being good for their health and nutrition generally, the milk ration will help fortify their bones against breakage. There is a new idea on these broken bones in old people, t00. You probably. know at least one elderly man or woman who fell and broke a hip or other bone. Some authorities think that it is not the fall which causes the broken bone but the reverse. A weakened bone breaks and causes the fall.

- » » MANY persons 50 years old and over, especially women, show a demineralization of the skeleton. The condition is known as senile osteoporosis. It may come from too little calcium in the diet. Women in tHeir fifties, sixties and seventies, the Iowa experiment station scientists found, are in the habit of drinking only one cup of milk a day. But, the studies showed, these women need at least a pint a day to provide enough calcium, phosphorus and protein for proper upkeep of their bodies. These studies also showed that these older women had not lost their ability to store calcium and other minerals, as is commonly supposed, So the idea that milk is only for babies and growing children seems on its way out. Older people need it too,

Hosiery Colors Are Deeper

Dramatic new hosiery shades for fall focus attention on “shank’s mare.” Suntan shades are definitely out—just when most of us had acquired a full supply of longscarce nylons! But the trick of being in the color mode is a simple one. All you need are one or two packages of regular all-purpose dye, not necessarily marked “hosiery dye,” for the manufacturers have not as yet caught up with the bandwagon as

"to colors.

One package of gray and one of dark brown, for instance, will enable you to convert all your hose into three of the best conservative fall shades—taupe, dark gray an dark brown. : The “color reeipe” for taupe is one part gray to one-eighth part dark brown. The other two shades are straight from your two packages. In a small glass jar or bottle, make up a concentrated solution of a tablespgon of the dye powder and about three-quarters of a cup of boiling water. Stir or shake well, Then, when you wash your hose, be they sheer nylon, sportswear lisle or silk, just pour a little of your, concentrated color into the rinse and swish well until a shade or ‘two darker than you want is reached. (All hos¢ look darker when wet.) Rinse again in a few clear waters, dry; and youll be idelighted with your new dark hose in just the shades you need. . They'll hold the depth of color for many launderings, too, and it's easy to repeat the when necessary.

For, the second time; NeimanMarcus will make an award in the consumer ld — to Dolores del Rio. first y of fashion in Latin America. After a successful career in American movies, Miss del Rio returned to Mexico where she became a producer and one of the most successful figures in the Mexican film industry. The exposition, at which awards will be presented by Stanley Marcus, executive vice president, will be a prophetic showing of fashions in clothes, accessories, furs and jewels. : "Attending, along with fashion’s great, will .be representatives of the U. 8, Texan, English, Frengh, Italian and Mexican governments, the national fashion press, styleconscious Southwesterners and former award winners.

Special Designs Made For the Exposition For the exposition, each of the famous designers has created pieces to be presented for the first time. Dior has designed a boulevard suit, a cocktail costume and a formal dancing frock. Ferragamo will show a series of hand-made shoes, including his visible” shoe. Irene will preséht a series of costumes done for the films and a group from her new collection which will be available to consumers. Norman Hartnell, best known in America for his debutante gowns, has designed for NeimanMarcus a debutante dress and two evening gowns. :

She will “pack up” on Aug. 29. ’ Jean has been an active Scouter for many years and she served as a program counselor at the Indianapolis Teen-Age camp at McCormick's Creek state park this summer. » # ” CAMP DEER TRAILS in Harrison, Mich, is the site of the camp, 125 miles north of Lansing, Mich. A clear blue lake, Long lake, surrounded by this densely wooded area sounds like an ideal swimming and hiking locale. Pifty-nine girls from Canada, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan will participate in the two-week outing, and the camp will be staffed by counselors from Canada and this region. Qualifications cover age, which must be at least 16, previous experience as a camper and ability to teach other girls program activities characteristic of the Girl Scout program.

LJ »n ” ON THE AGENDA is a talk by Miss Lois Fisher who wrote the book “You and the United Nations.” She will talk on “Chalk Views of Today's News.” Three Michigan Scouts who attended the Girl Scout International Encampment at Camp Barree in Pennsylvania, will spend a day at camp and Governor Kim Sigler of Michigan has been invited to visit the girls.

Other girls attending from Indiana are Alice J. Arnold, West Lafayette; Christina Ann Berg, Kokomo; Nancy - Carpenter, Marion; Susan Griffin, Ft. Wayne; Betty Lou Hendricks, Anderson: Helen Hitt, Munster; Gloria Kaczmarek, ' Michigan City; Jean Price, Muncie, and Betty Jean Ross, Crawfordsville,

Times Woman's Editer IN THAT old struggle between the budget and fashion, it's too often the budget that goes down for the count. That's why it is fun to discqyer a fashion item that pylls its punch on the price question.s Take hats. They have a longtime record of knocking holes clean through budgets: But take a Brewster hat (they're showing them down at Block's); match it against the budget—and the latter comes out unscathed. (The price range is about $4 to $20.) As a matter of fact, even the Powers models whose budget problems probably aren't so serious as those of the average.girl, are taking to Brewster hats, they say. And they carry Brewster hat Boxes designed especially for them as they gallop between photographic appointments. » » » THE REASON for this isn't so hard to find. The Brewster chapeaux combine smart styling, master tailoring and fine quality felts with their sensible price tags. All are made of Merrimac wool or fur felt and the trimmings and workmanship match that quality. One of the Brewster ideas for fall travel is a packable hat. “Pack-its” are neat, casual felts in collapsible shape. Several can be packed into a small space and they come in 18 fall and winter shades, Notable in the fall collection are beaver felts in ‘lustrous colors to go with fall suits and winter furs. Then there are velours to complement classic or casual fall fashions. Wool felts form another part of the collection and rounding out the array is “Chamay,” a soft suede felt. ?

Designer Says We Overdress

“American women have a tend(ency to overdress,” claims Travis Banton, fashion designer who recently completed designing chores on Alfred Hitchcock's, “The Paradine Case,” a motion picture with an English background. Mr. Banton believes that we should take a tip from our English cousins, who emphasize simplicity of garb. “It's more sensible to have only a few good dresses than to overload a wardrobe with flashy, inexpensive clothes,” he insists, “Dresses should complement a woman's personality, not hide it.” Nothing bothers Mr. Banton more than seeing an attractive woman wearing a too-frilly blouse or suit,

matching bracelets and an ornament. of some kind on her lapel. “If women only realized how much they damage their personalities, I'm sure they would think frie, then decide on simpler dress.”

TEEN TOGS — When one thinks of fall, one envisions warm, glowing colors. And what better name could be given a fall color than "toast brown." Patty Joy, a senior. at Shortridge high school, wears a "toast "brown" Skinners crepe dress dreamed up by Emily Wilkens. A double peplum hints of hip accent. Patty is editor of Block's high school fashiod board's monthly publication, "The Clothesline." (Block's).

Don’t Toss |

Coin Around

‘Impulsive Buying Is. Foe of Good Taste’ The Dbest-dressed women in the world, who could spend all the money they wish on theis clothes, don't, according to Carrie Munn, one of their number who is now a designer in her own right. * Mrs, Munn, well-known socialite who recently invaded the field she inspired, did a “stand-in” for Walter Winchell last night and gave the inside story of how some of the world’s most famous wardrobes are planned and selected and dispelled many myths in regard to them. /S8he said: “Many of the chic. women I dress could spend unlimited money for their clothes if they liked. But most of them don’t, They "do give as much thought to planning a wardrobe as they do to furnishing a house, “Every costume is chosen as carefully as if it were a wedding gown. Once they have it they don’t mint wearing it for years. Some of my smartest clients have several variations of the same dress made at one time in different materials. I generally do that myself.” Best-dressed women are really pioneers, Mrs. Munn asserted. “They anticipate fashion. But they know how not to stretch newness to the point of the fantastic, They change gradually by lengthening skirts, softening outlines, and so on. They manage to arrive at novelty without shock.” d Impulsive buying is the worst enemy of good dressing,.Mrs. Munn said. - “Buy what fits into your wardrobe, not because it catches your eye. Shop in your. own mind. before you go to the stores.” Matched accessories should be used with discretion, the designer pointed out. “All accessories matched are a sign of a ready-

made personality.”

Canned Fish Supply Still Not Plentiful

Consumer demand for fish probably will remain strong throughout most of 1947, but fish prices will decline somewhat from present peaks as fish production expands and supplies of other foods increase and their prices level off. Very large quantities of fresh and frozen fish will be available, but supplies of the major species of canned fish—salmon, tuna and sardines —will be relatively short until the latter part of the year when the 1947 pack is distributed. Civilian consumption of canned fish this year is expected to be at least aus large as in 1946 and that of fresh and frozen fish about the same,
