Small, Neat Silk Prints Are Stylish IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL By CHERIE NICHOLAS P * YOU would have the silk print that fashions your new dress or ensemble look “new,” choose a tiny neat conventionalized patterning, for this is the type that is winning the stamp of approval among best dressed women for smart daytime wear. To get the idea pictorially, note the two good-looking costumes il lustrated. They bespeak that ex quisite air of refinement and fine finesse which is so outstandingly characteristic of the prettily-femi- nine fashion trends this season. The flower-printed silk suit to the left in the picture conveys a mes sage of unmistakable style prestige in that the skirt is pleated in the latest manner. The trim - fitting cardigan jacket is particularly fashion-significant in that it gives the very new long waistline silhou ette. The truly feminine charm of thin costume is given accent via a perky little Watteau hat that is gaily laden with flowers and an audacious veil trimming that swirls about the brim at the back. Which offers a thought to carry with you in mak ing your costume selections for the coming months, namely that the fancy frivolous whimsical flatter ing hat with the simple dress is big style news. The jacket costume to the right is alive with high-style details. In the first place, the silk that makes this dress and lines the jacket is print ed with wee railway cars and loco motives. You will learn in look ing about for smart prints that things you see about you, railway cars for instance, and like as not circus clowns, or sailing ships, or miniature landscapes, or written or printed phrases, fish, birds, flow ers and fruit are incorporated in silk-print design with such amaz ing artistry and dexterity, they look absolutely decorous and convention al with no hint of the garish or the .ncongruous to joffend conservative taste. The fact that the fingertip length straight-cut black wool jacket is lined and cuffed with the silk print is a matter of note, for in genious play is being made with prints as linings especially, and also in versatile trimming ways in con nection with monotone weaves. A turban with pink flowers adds inter est to this costume. In some in stances the newer dresses are com plemented with hats made of the identical silk print. Pink doeskin gloves complete this costume. The feeling for neatness and re straint is apparent in many of this season’s multi-color designs. Indis tinct little motifs that might be named almost anything have a bright look. There are also some medallion treatments that are very attractive and distinctive, such as circles enclosing tiny stylized flow ers. New in the mode is a dice pattern tie-silk print that lends itself smart ly to millinery purposes. Inset in the oval below is a fetching crea tion of the new dice-pattern silk, with face veil that forms a decora tive bow at the side. Speaking of silks for the formal evening mode the gorgeously be- flowered prints are more richly col orful than ever, some so exotic as to remind of Spanish shawl glory that revels in superbly colorful huge florals. Among the newest of new silks sheers are conspicuously present both for day and evening wear. These include soft and stiffened types. There are silk chiffons, silk voiles, silk marquisettes and mousse line de soies. Light to gossamer silks are unreservedly sponsored by Paris for summer. There is a new shantung reduced to a chiffon weight introducing wild silk to give the tussah effect. Ribbed also crin kled sheers are especially outstand ing in the latest showings.

The model pictured is in soft, rose Shet land wool tweed. Slot seams such as give fashion supremacy to this coat are excitingly decorative this season. Another outstanding detail in current coat styling is the trend of fullness to the back. In this in stance ■ flare-cut achieves the de sired full-back silhouette. DESIGNER FEATURES NOVEL SUEDE IDEAS By CHERIE NICHOLAS Draped dresses in the Grecian manner are featured in the suede collection displayed by Voris of Hol lywood, America’s suede designer, whose suede garments and acces sories are pasted and not stitched. The dresses include a copy of a white wedding dress designed for a California socialite. * Daytime dresses with boleros and a draped long dinner dress approve all-round utility of suede. An unusu al bolero group consists of abbrevi ated boleros to be worn for daytime or evening wear. A stunning dawn blue bolero is lined with red silk. Padded shoulders with new tucked and square lines are shown. Suede shirts to be worn with skirts or slacks are treated with both feminine and mannish details. Oddly placed pockets are on the shirts for utility and ornamental purposes. Gored skirts have raw edges to eliminate bottom bulk. The popular suede slacks are in the new short length with wide bottoms and the regular lengths with mannish trouser details. Bewitching Spring Hats Lift Spirits of Wearers Charming hats, which are har bingers of spring, are doing great work in uplifting the spirits of their wearers. Kettle-brimmed sailors in straw fabrics with candy-striped veils are liked, along with soft felts with chiffon scarf trimming. Many of the nicest hats are posed to one side to give nice profiles a chance. A charming little hat of block felt is trimmed with a large four-leaf clover in green velvet. A sailor of black picot has a large red apple in front. S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 22 SERVING THROUGH CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP LESSON TEXT—Mark 12:13-17, 28-34. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.—Mark 12:31. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Sermon on a Penny. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Sermon on a Penny. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Loyalty to God and Country. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Obligations of Christian Citizenship. “For God and Country” is a rally ing cry that well summarizes the spirit and duty of the Christian cit izen. So clear and inspiring are the teachings of God’s Word regarding the relationship of the Christian to his country that one marvels that national leaders who are seeking to stimulate civic loyalty do not pro mote a revival of the study of the Bible. Dr. Moore is right when he says, “No bad citizen is a good Christian and no good Christian is a bad citizen.” The solution of our nation’s problems would be a great evangelistic campaign from coast to coast. A man like Moody would then appear in his true position as a great patriot. The soul-winner would be more important than the vote-getter. Why not try it? Our lesson presents our Lord on Tuesday of His passion week, when He met His adversaries in their cunning efforts to entrap Him in His words so that they might con demn Him. The two incidents be fore us have broader application than to citizenship alone, but we may well consider them in that light, for they reveal that the citi zen who is right with God will be right with the nation and with his own neighbors. I. The Christian Citizen Loves His Country (w. 13-17). The Pharisees, who hated Rome for its domination of Palestine, and the Herodians, who supported Rome in its control of the land, were ene mies, but they joined forces to tempt Christ. They knew that if He said “Yes” to their question the Jews would be angry, and if He said “No” He could be condemned as a trai tor to Rome. The trap was set, but it caught only the crafty hunters. Taking their own pocket money he declared that if they used Caesar’s money they ought to pay taxes to Caesar. The coin stood for an orderly govern ment, benefits of which they en joyed and which they ought to sup port. II. The Christian Citizen Loves God (w. 20-30). Although this point comes second in our lesson it comes first in expe rience. It is the man who renders unto God the love of the heart, soul, mind, and all of his strength (v. 30) who is ready really to love his coun try as he should. The scribes loved to dispute about which was the greatest of the 613 commandments which they recog nized. Jesus astonished them by referring to the passage of Scripture most familiar to the Jews (Deut. 6:4, 5), which declares the unity and absolute exclusiveness of the Lord our God. It may be well for us to stress this truth even in our time, for most folk regard the worship and service of God as optional. III. The Christian Citizen Loves His Neighbor (w. 31-34). The scribe did not ask for the sec ond commandment but Jesus pre sents it as an unavoidable corollary of the first. The man who really loves God will love his neighbor. Every social injustice would be wiped out and every cause for strife removed if all men loved their fel low-man as they love themselves. Such a condition will never prevail, however, until men love God. It is too much for the flesh to put others before self. Only the grace of God is sufficient for that. Hence the real solution of the problems of capital and labor, the “haves” and the “have nots” is to win the men and women on both sides of the struggle to a true love for God through Jesus Christ our Lord. In other words, we come again to the inevitable conclu sion that what our nation needs is a revival. Social panaceas, revolution either by force or by law, dictatorships, all these are destined to failure. Men must learn to know and love God supremely and thus come to love their neighbors as themselves. The crossroad Sunday - school teacher, the missionary in the city slums, the preacher of the gospel* whether in the great city or on the the countryside, the faithful Chris tian living out the love of Christ daily in kindly word and deed— these are the real forces for social as well as spiritual good. Let us do all we can to prosper their ministry! Sufficient Unto the Day Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow; the same ever lasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomor row, and every day. Living Wisely Let no one think that the way to gain the next world is to despise this one. Little Courtesies In the stir and hurry of life how careless we are of little courtesies! WHAT TO EAT AND WHY (2, 4]oniton (f outfall Discusses the NEED FOR IODINE Key Substance of the Thyroid Gland—Tells How to Avoid Iodine Starvation By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 39th St.. New York City T HE discovery of our vital need for iodine is one of the most thrilling chapters in the long history of scientific research. Many investigators contributed to our understanding of iodine hunger, but special credit is due to Dr. David Marine and his co-workers; and to.<^ Dr. E. C. Kendall of the Mayo Clinics at Rochester, Minn. Today we know that al though it constitutes only about one part in three mil lion parts of the body weight, iodine is so essential that its absence from' the diet may have the gravest conse quences. —★— Thyroid—The Gland of Glands Iodine is necessary for the nor mal functioning of the thyroid gland, situated in the front part of the neck. The thyroid is so im portant that it is often regarded as the throttle which governs the human locomotive, and when it fails to function normally, the body machinery may be thrown out of balance. Thyroid ' disturbance during childhood may affect mental and physical development, and many children have been accused of laziness who are suffering from thyroid deficiency. Thyroid disor der may be a complicating factor In obesity, and specialists have found that it is associated with many stubborn skin diseases. It Is also claimed that iodine starva tion influences mental make-up and emotional tendencies. —— Disfiguring Goiter Simple goiter is a common dis order of the thyroid gland. At one time the very mention of this disease terrified girls and women, who feared the unsightly lump in the neck which disfigures the vic tim. Now, thanks to dramatic ex periments, we know that simple goiter is an iodine deficiency dis ease. . —*— Animal 'Experiments Point the Way In 1916, it was estimated that a million young pigs died annually in Wisconsin. Investigation dis closed that their thyroid glands were abnormally large and ab normally low in iodine. When io dine was administered to the mothers, the young pigs were born normal. Scientists reasoned that if goiter could be prevented in animals, it could be prevented in humans, and undertook the now famous census in Akron, Ohio. A study was made of the thyroid glands of all school girls from the fifth to the twelfth grades. Almost 50 per cent were found to have enlarged thyroid glands. The girls were given small doses of sodium iodide dissolved in drinking water at given periods over 2% years. At the end of that time, investigators found that of 2,000 pupils, only 5 developed thyroid enlargement. Of the same number not treated, 500 showed enlargement. —★— Danger Periods This demonstration aroused the interest of the scientific world and gave impetus to additional experi- Send for This FREE CHART Showing the Iodine Content of Various Foods —★— OU are invited to write C.

The diet of the ex pectant mother mast include an adequate supply to protect herself and avoid the early development of simple goiter in the child. It is also essential to provide sufficient iodine for growing chil dren, as the incidence of the dis ease increases steadily'up to the eighteenth year in girls; in boys it reaches its peak at twelve. Some investigators also claim that one way to enhance the ac tion of the glands after middle life, and so prolong youth, is to include in the daily diet some foods with a high iodine content. —★— Nature's Storehouse of Iodine It is the duty of every home maker to learn where the neces sary iodine can be obtained and to include iodine-rich foods in the daily diet, but it is especially im portant for those living in “the goiter belt.” This area stretches along the Appalachian mountains, as far north as Vermont, west ward through the basin of the Great Lakes to the state of Washington, and southward over the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states. —^— Iodine-Rich Foods The sea is the great storehouse of iodine and hence, the most abundant sources are sea food, in cluding salmon, cod, crabmeat and oysters; cod liver oil; and salt. Fruits and vegetables grown near the sea contain varying amounts of iodine, depending upon Graceful Butterfly New Crochet Idea Pattern No. 6031.

Address him at 6 East 39th Street, New York City. the water and soil, and the season, the iodine content being at a max imum in the autumn and winter. In general, it may be said that the leaves of plants contain more iodine than the roots, and that leafy vegetables and legumes store more than fruits, with the exception of cranberries, which are a good source. When the soil is rich in iodine, watercress be comes a fine source of this sub» stance. —★— Iodized Sail- One of the most satisfactory methods for adding iodine to the diet, especially in goiterous re gions, is through the use of iodized salt. In Detroit, a city-wide test of iodized salt reduced the preva lence of simple goiter from 36 per cent to 2 per cent.. Similar fig ures have been cited for other lo calities. Iodized salt costs no more than ordinary table salt and is an excellent safeguard against simple goiter. —★— Iodine In Drinking Water Even in early times, it was be lieved that there was some rela tion between goiter and drinking water, and recent evidence has disclosed that there was a sound basis for this belief. Two investi gators found that the water in a large part of the northern half of the United States falls into a low- # iodine classification. Several communities have given consideration to the prevention of goiter by the addition of iodine to the water supply. This method is commendable, but it must be borne in mind that wherever io dine is taken in forms other than food, careful supervision by the physician or the public health au thorities is necessary. . To those homemakers interested in planning the best possible diet for their families, I shall gladly send lists showing which foods are rich in iodine and which are poor in this substance. Questions Answered Miss S. G.—There is no justifi cation for serving toast at every meal instead of bread. It is true that proper toasting changes some of the starch to dextrine which is quickly and easily digested. But laboratory experiments reveal that the proteins of toasted bread and crusts have a lower digesti* bility, and animals gain less weight when fed on them than on the untoasted bread and the in side crumbs of the loaf. Mrs. B. s R. S.—The average meal leaves the stomach within four hours, though a large meal may stay for five hours. How ever, the length of time food re mains in the stomach is only a fraction of that required for the entire digestive process, which va ries in normal individuals from 12 to 47 hours. Carbohydrates leave the stomach most quickly, pro teins are next, and fats require the longest period. Miss C. T.—Agar-agar is a non irritating, indigestible carbohy drate. As it is not digested, its caloric value is zero, and it could not possibly be fattening. © WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—1938—11 THE ALL-WEATHER LIGHT Light it up and a. I a a Coleman any weather.
