Don’t Overeat in the Summertime If You’d Keep Your Youthful Shape By GLADYS GLAD ’’America’* Most Famous Beauty” In that glamorous story of Diamond Jim Bradley, it te said that the rea son that he was able to consume such large quantities of rich and expensive food was because his stomach was stretched to six times the size of that of an ordinary individual. Diamond Jim, you know, was an epicure. And he got great delight out of eating well-chosen foods—but copiously! What most women desire more than anything else, I think, is a slender, youthful figure. A fat, tubby figure not only detracts from the loveliness of a girl’s appearance, but also tends to rob her of her youthful pep and vivacity. And if there’s any one time when excess flesh becomes a discom fort and a burden, it’s during the hot summer months tht are rapidly ap proaching. ANNUAL ART EXHIBIT IS HELD YESTERDAY AT PAPE SCHOOL The annual art exhibit of the Pape School was held yesterday at the low er school building and the exhibits were attractively arranged.

Educates For Safety ORGANIZATION PLANS FOR PROGRAM TO TEACH MEASURES By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D. Head Department Parent Education Cleveland College, Western Reserve University. THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSO CIATION has established itself so well that some states have set aside, by proclamation of the governor, a Parent-Teacher Day, Ohio and New Jersey being among the first. The National Congress of Parents and Teachers has launched a safety education. Its safety program, which will be employed by local parent teacher associations during the next year, includes the following: 1. Sponsorship of standard school boy safety patrols. 2. Proper mark ing so rstreets approaching schools. 3. Strict observance of laws govern ing minimum age for young drivers. 4.lnstruction in driving for students in high school. 5. Co-operation with police in securing maximum protec tion at school crossings. 6. Support of the driver’s license law. 7. Improve ment of school bus facilities. This program is being directed by Miss Marian Tilford, national con gress chairman of safety and direc or of field activities for the National Safety council. Concerning driving instructions to high school students, none should have such instructions before they are of legal driving age. Unfortunate ly, some have, being encouraged to violate the law and to come in con flict with it by their parents. Parents are wise never to allow their child to have his first experience at the wheel unil he lierally is legally old enough to do so. They should know that they run the risk of losing the protection of their liability Insurance in case of accident while their child under legal age is driving. Summer Roimd-Up One of the finest contributions of 'he P. T. A. is the summer round-up. Through this program, the schools and the public health authorities make available free physical examina tion this spring of those children who for the first time will enter school next fall. Parents of these children found to have defective teeth or other remediable physical defects, are urged to have their family doctor and den tist care for these chilren, so they might not have to enter school in September needlessly handicapped. Also free immunization of these chile- ' Food Is Fuel Summer, of course, is not here yet. Let there is such an easy time to re duce that an early reminder should do no harm. It is a mystery to me how anyone could possibly prefer the discomforts that result from over weight during hot weather. In the summertime, the body is satisfied with far less fuel than in the winter, you know. Rich, heavy, fatty dishes are justnaturally supplanted by light salads and vegetable and fruit dishes. And as a consequence, a well-planned reducing diet, like the one outlined in my “New Figure” booklet, is very sim ple to f01..10w, because the foods in volved are those that comprises most ordinary warm weather dishes. Food is required chiefly as fuel for the work of the body Our bodies must do something with every morsel of food that we put into them If we eat only enough to fulfill our bodi ly requirements, our weight remains normal. If we eat too much, the ex cess is stored away on the body as fat. And if we reduce our intake, our bodies draw upon their fat re serve and our weight actually de creases. It is only when the amount of food consumed daily is used up in energy that the weight remains nor mal and excess flesh does not ac cumulate on the body. Every girl should see to it during the warm weather that she eats just enough food to enable her body to do its daily work with ease—and no more. The more work she does, of course, the more food she’ll need. But if she consumes more food than her body can utilize, she’l put on a lot of excess poundage, and will probably feel perfectly miserable during the torrid weather. And in addition, she ll hardly be in good form to wear the revealing summer frocks and bathing suits. Test Show Importance Os Vitamin DEFICIENCY CONDUCES TO LOW GRADES SCHOOL WORK By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. WE ’ DESCRIBED yesterday the very interesting reports from the Uni versity of lowa in testing a group of children for minor grades of Vitamin A deficiency in the diet. It is known that Vitamin A defi ciency decreases sensitivity of the eye under conditions of darkness, and although there is no test to show it, it may be assumed that this lack of sensitivity is carried over into day light conditions. This vlsula defect would naturally be a physical handicap in school work. At any rate, a remarkable correlation was found between these slight Vita min A deficiencies and backward ness among school children. The vis ual defect might easily be unsuspect ed, and even undetected by a care ful test of the eyes, because the de termining test is one which requires very special conditions and concentra tion upon a -pecial point on the part of the examiner. Sight, Standing Improve A later report shows that when the Vitamin A deficiency in the diet was corrected by the use of cod liver and other fish oils, and vegetables con taining carotene, such as carrots, that the night vision Improved, and also better standing was noticeable in the school work. It is interesting to compare a re port on the same lines from Sweden, where 1,200 children from all econom ic and social strata of a large manu facturing and seaport city were given this dark room test. Only nine were found to have a Vitamin A defici ency, where as in the lowa city nearly 53 per cent were shown to have some sub-normality. The difference is ob viously due to the fact that the geographic conditions of life in a sea port city in Sweden would automatic ally increase fish liver and fish oils in the diet, and hence reduce the percentage of Vitamin A deficiency. QUESTIONS FROM READERS: M. F. M.: “What is the caue or history of a cyst and what is the best treatment? Is it a rare thing for a boy of 15 years to have a cyst on his neck, below the ear?” Answer: A cyst is defined as an encapsulated collection of fluid. A cyst on the neck below the ear might be an ordinary wen, which is the cyst of a sebaceous gland of the skin. Or it might be a branchial cyst, which is the degeneration of vestigial struc tures in the neck which correspond to primitive gill clefts. ren against diphtheria and vaccina tion against smallpox are made avail able. Because of this program many parents are having their infants also immunized against diphtheria. If you have a baby over six months of age, please do not let another day pass without going to your doctor or the public health department to have his first “shot” of toxin-anti toxin for immunity against diphtheria. Why run the risk of letting him die from this dread disease when preven tion is so certain, safe and easy? And don’t neglect yourself, mother. Many a mother very solicitous of her children’s medical care utill fail to have her own body properly checked by a competent physician. I wonder how many persons stay away from the doctor fearing that he might find something needing surgical attention. Think of the tragedies which might have been averted but for such post ponement. ANSWERS TO QUERIES Eyeshadow Lorain: Since your eyes are blue, you should find the blue, blue-gray or gray eyeshadow best. The blue is es sentially for evening wear, while the blue-gray and gray can be used both for daytime and evening. Weight Peter.: I think that a man five feet nine inches tall and 25 years of age should weigh about 153 pounds.

Head Department Parent Education Cleveland College, Western Reserve University By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D. J. Edgar Hoover, head of U. S. department of justice, recently said before the New York Round Table Forum on Crime: “I have said that crime begins at home and that we are doing nothing —comparatively nothin —to protect that home. My proof comes in th? fact that 20 per cent of our crime is committed by pen_>ns not yet old enouh to vote, by those not even out of their “teens,” by '“those who often are not even past hih school age, and who should still be under the active management and responsi bility of the home. “Yet we of law enforcement find these children stealing automobiles; we find them committing almost 1,000 murders every year; we find that there are tens of thousands of bur glaries and larcenies perpetrated by boys and girls who, in any other gen eration, would have been under the discipline of vigilant parents. “This is an undeniable indictment of the American parentof today, in case after case where the youth of -MENU HINTS- By MRS.

There has been a lack of discipline; or watchfulness. I find indulgence in apathy, misbe haviors leading to more serious in fractions of horn erule, and in burn leading to petty and then vicious and deadly infractions of the law. “We cannot wholly blame these youths for the crimes they commit. Wemust go behind these crimes and blame the true perpetrators—the ae thers and mothers—who so failed in their duty, who were so prone to the amusements of the moment, who, through mental lainess, allowed dis cipline to relax and their children to go into the world and r?ap the har vest which they, the parents, really sowed." Parents Not AH to Blame Now, your honor, Mr. Hoover, in your charity toward youth you say, “We cannot wholly blame these youths for the crimes they commit.” Why nob be as charitable toward par ents and say thatthey are not wholly to blame? Granted that a few parents have allowed disciplineto relax because they are “prone to amusement for the moment” or are mentally lazy. Can you fairly indict all parents in this fashion, or even most of them? It seems to me you would be nearer to the truth if you would go back of parents to those child training ex perts or alleged experts who, by their writings and teachings for years, have made parents generally believe that they should relax on discipline. Thousands upon thousands of par ents, especially among the intelli gentsia, have relaxed in home disci pline for their young children be cause these parents have been delud ed to believe that it has been scien tifically settled that children should not be disciplined: deluded to believe thatthey would b? considered‘brutes’’ if they really trained their children to mind at the tender years when they best can be so trained; if, in short, they were to lay the hand upon the little child to restrain him and to teach him regard for the rights of others and respect for authority —the alphabet of citizenship.
