Eating Habits Not Heredity, Make Weight

By Ida Jean Kain At first blush, it appears that

overweight must be hereditary. Pat certainly seems to run in fam­ilies Take the Smiths for example —all the children are roly-poly and the parents are on the buxom side. But before we put the blame on the family tree, lets have dinner at their house.

My. they have good food to eat! Mrs. Smith Just loves to cook, and nothing pleases her more than to see her family eat and enjoy them-•elves. Mr. Smith prides himself on being a good provider. None of that "go easy on the butter boys, it's eighty cents a pound"

no indeed, the butter dish is biz and well-filled, at the begin­ning of the meal that is. The suear bowl is ample size too . . , .

They Like Trimmings If there's one thing the Smith

family can't abide, it's "good, plain rooking''—they like the trimmings. Our hostess certainly has a way with food She fixes the greens with bacon, and makes such good gravy . . the secret, she says, is not to add much water. The scal­loped potatoes certainly are deli­cious . it's the cheese, Mrs. Smith beams . take a half pound of cheese and melt into the white sauce and spread this between each layer of the potatoes. The secret of her French dressing recipe be liberal with the olive oil and stingy with the vinegar.

What's for Dessert Then they all sit back and

chorus, "What's for dessert. Mom?" . . . giving the impression that dessert is the high spot of the meal. Mom tells them she has a surprise, and they all start gues-mg She comes m proudly bear­ing Baked Alaska . . . and the family cheers.

The only thing wrong with that wav of eating is that it's so fat­tening" When overweight runs in families, it's generally easy to prove that fattening food habits do too What is really inherited is an appetite for all those fat­tening dishes . . . an excessive ap­petite. Of course excess pounds are the natural and inevitable results.

Habits Passed On Fattening food habits are usu­

ally pawed on to the next genera­tion The girls in the family are all taught to cook . . and the boys send their brides around to get Mom's recipes . . . and so it goes.

It's true that some families in­herit a stocky frame, and some races of people tend to be more heavy set. But that is bony struc­ture, not fat. Fat itself is never inherited. And when most mem­bers of a family lean toward avoirdupois, look to food habits.

what should the Smith family overweights do? Cut off the fat­tening corners and stop over­eating Mrs. Smith with her flair for food, can apply her skill in preparing delicious, low-calorie dishes and in planning meals to keep her family at normal weight.

The bride, who wae given in marriage by see father, were a gown of candlelight aaUn, made on princ*** Hues, with a yoke effect •f net outlined with seed pearls tat a floral design.

January Presents New 1951 Problems for Gardener

By Jan* Uslie Kift This is the month to get your

garden tools in order for spring garden work usually starts with a rush. Paint handles a bright color so that they may be easily found. File the blades sharp and paint them with oil to prevent rusting.

Don't forget to look over your dahlia tubers this month. If you find any diseased roots discard them at once.

January is a good time to spread a light layer of coal ashes over the ground In your garden. They pos­sess value in lightening the soil if it happens to be a bit too heavy.

Watch Seal* This is a good time to examine

ornamental trees and shrubs for scale infestation. Ornamental fruit trees, dogwoods, and ash trees as well as dwarf maples are likely to be affected. If you prune the trees at this time and spray diem with oil emulsion, or other approved dormant spray, you will reduce these insects materially.

Stake any evergreens that t i e being bent over with-snow ar lee.

Brush the snow off the branches with a broom, being careful not to break them.

Do not burn your discarded Christmas tree, rather erect it in a snow pile or stick the trunk in the soil and suspend doughnuts or bits of suet from ttys branches. The tores may also be cut up and the branches used for mulching perennial borders.

Read Catalogs Read the new garden book you

received for Christmas and also the seed catalogs, which will be in the mail.

Make it routine to spray the plants in your window gorden once each week and loosen the surface soil once every three weks.

Sta t a few more narcissus bulbs; we never have too many of these fragrant flowers.

January is the month when the red spider is apt to appear so be prepared. Frequent sprayings with cold water phis a little nicotine will soon rout this enemy.

Just as soon as your calls begins to set buds begin regular applica­tions of plant food. Gallas are heavy feeders and they are as thirsty u they are hungry.

T N RECENTLY presenting the •*• "case" for the nursery school, the value to children of material and equipment that the average home cannot have was stressed.

In these days of small homes and small families the child who goes to a nursery school has these advantages as well.

First, he has companionship with children around his own age. The small family cannot provide this. With the example of the other children helping him he learns more quickly to eat new foods, to sleep when his body needs sleep and to be increasing­ly responsible for his own toilet-' ing and dressing To be sure, these learnings can take place in his own home, but with much more difficulty.

Second, and here we quote Dr. Hymes directly, "The nursery school supplements what the -good home can offer by enabling children to spend part of the day in a world which is child-sized, clocked by 'child-time' and planned so that children can act the way that is normal for their stage of development.

"The low toilets and wash ba­sins . . . the low closets and open shelves, the low tables and chairs make it more possible for chil­dren to use their developing pow­ers, to meet with success and to build confidence in themselves."

If the idea of nursery school experience for your child inter­ests you, yet you're not quite sure about it, the leaflet which Dr. Hymes has prepared may be helpful. It is available from the National Association for Nursery Education, Roosevelt College, Chicago, III., for 5 cents.

Iodine Stains

Dishwasher Labor Saver In Kitchen

By Virginia Cheney Purchase of household equip­

ment will come high on the shop­ping list of those who receive money for a Christmas present. For the family debating whether to buy or not to buy an electric dish­washer here are some points to eenslder.

The obvious advantage of a dish­washer is the labor saving feature. But the fact that it gives extra special cleanliness is anoher fea­ture of merit. In a dishwasher, hotter water and stronger deter­gents can be used then when handling dishes by hand. When dried in the washer, dishes have no contact with towels, some­times less than spotlessly clean and bacteria free.

For Small Families For small families, a dishwasher

may be able to take care of dishes from three meals all at one time, making only one washing process necessary during the day. But space is limited in any washer, and so this is not possible when the family is large or there are many diners.

New synthetic detergents and proper washing methods do away with one objection sometimes held against dishwashing machines-cloudy glassware. Because they leave no soap film, synthetics de­tergents are recommended when there's glassware, for they make it unnecessary to shine glass by hand. Dishwashers require special deter-gents that don't make heavy suds, for suds break the force of the spray which does the cleaning job.

Door Problem The pros and cons of a side or

top door have to be considered in selecting a dishwasher. While the side door leaves the top of the washer free for a work surface, it has this disadvantage; recently rinsed dishes may drip moisture onto the floor while being placed Inside. With a top opening, most of the dripping falls into the washer.

The dishes do not need to be removed from the dishwasher at the end of the drying period unless it is convenient to do so. Thus the dishwasher becomes a storage place for dishes between meals. It eliminates the task of putting away dishes and is particularly good protection from dust. But this storage is impractical unless the same dishes are used each meal of the day.

Emily Post

Advises-Dear Mrs. Post: Just what is the

status of a grandmother at a wed­ding? I think grandparents are immediate family and as such should be seated with the family both at the church and at the reception. But I seem to be alone with my views.

Answer: It is true that grand­parents are considered immediate family at a wedding. In church they certainly should be seated next to parents in the front pew (or on the aisle in the second pew if they prefer), and at the parents' table at a sltdown breakfast or supper.

• • • Dear Mrs. Post: Do you think it

nice for a husband to ask strange girls to dance with him at a wed­ding reception?

Answer: If he is a member of the bridal party, yes. If merely a guest, no.

* • • Dear Mrs. Post: Is no one sup­

posed to be tipped in connection with air travel?

Answer: It is true that neither stewards nor stewardesses accept tips.

By Martha Foster A home without children is like a car without a motor there

isn't much purpose In 1U existence, and it's definitely not getting anywhere, Yet there are surprising numbers of married couples, In our rootless urban civiliza­tion, who for purely selfish • • • reasons live out their lives childless, content to leave no trace hereafter of their having been. Like the husband "8. S." writes about, they just don't want to be bothered, forgetting that to make their very exist­ence possible, two sets of parents sacrificed and were compensated by their pride, pleasure and hope in their children's accomplishments. This woman write*: "Dear Martha Fester:

"I have been married six years to a wonderful man. We have a lovely home and everything any young couple could ask for. There Is only one thing en which we cannot seem to agree. I want more than anything In the world to have a chUd, but my husband says he cannot be bothered with chil­dren. He claims that children are nothing bat a burden and a ter­rific expense. I have often thought of leaving him, getting a divorce, •nd looking for someone who is as anxious for s family as I. What do yen think? **S. 8."

Try Subtle Approach ANSWER—I doubt very much

that any arguments we can ad­vance will have much effect on your husband. A person as wrap­ped up in himself as he seems to be is not going to be made big-hearted by talk. In fact, the only thing that might influence him is to see the fun that other men get out of their children.

If you have friends or neighbors with reasonably well - behaved youngsters, who are at an age when they can be companions to Dad, by all means cultivate them. Exchange dinner dates with them, and encourage the other husbands to show their kids off. Theyll do it, believe you me! They may be able to persuade him that he's really missing something—as, of course, he is.

Conversely, keep him away from families whose children are un­adulterated brats. Such cases, I must admit, are all too common these days, and they can un-sell a man on the idea of raising a fam­ily far more quickly than you can sell him on it. But get him to re­gard a family hi the same cate­gory as convertibles, limousines. mink coats, and television con­soles—in short, as the sure mark of a man who is successful enough to have everything — and ulti­mately you may manage to change his mind.

The bidding: East South West North Pass 1 4 P*ss 1 0 Pass INT Pass 3 NT Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: Four of spades. If there is any one principle

of bridge upon which authorities unanimously agree, it is that the safety of a contract must never be jeopardized for the sake of an overtrick. This, of course, is noth­ing more than plain common sense.

Conversely, when a player is in a contract which appears to have very little chance of fulfillment, he should never give up and settle for defeat unless there is absolutely no possible hope of bringing in the victory. Of course, if the contract has been doubled—or even worse, r e d o u b l e d — t h e n the "outside chance" has to be viewed in an en­tirely different light. Under such circumstances, the "wild try" may be a bad one—for it is apt to be an expensive gamble.

When today's deal came up our South was one of those players who never quit. Viewing the dummy after the opening lead had been made, he saw that his three no trump contract was doomed to a one-trick set. However, he per­ceived that there was one ray of hope, namely, that West might err. If the defense didn't slip, then declarer was bound to be set two tricks instead of one. But South, very wisely, took the "fling" and when it turned out success­fully, he made his game and rub­ber.

West, on lead, opened the four of spades, declarer holding up until the third round of the suit had been led. An appraisal of the North-South hands quickly re­vealed that there were just eight tricks available—one spade, two hearts, four diamonds, and one club. But there was a slight chance of vsneaking in" a ninth winner. At trick four, South laid

down his queen of clubs—and, as hoped for, it won the trick. Prom here in it was smooth sailing, as declarer simply knocked out the diamond ace, to fulfill his contract.

Of course, if West had held both the king and jack of clubs, he would have covered the queen, and declarer would then go after dia­monds for down one. Or if East had held the missing club king, then again declarer would be de­feated. But the chance that West held the K zx or the K xxx of clubs existed in which case the queen might not be covered, assur­ing declarer of nine tricks. And so declarer took that chance and walked off with bis game!

Can you really blame West for not covering the queen? Don't forget, South had opened the auc­tion with a one club bid—and by not covering, West was assured of a club winner. He laid off—and

was the "goat" on his hand. CHARLES J. SOLOMON
