through special arrangement with the
Washington Bureau of Western Newspa
per Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. W^

Mental lllneta Clinics
In addition to 32 clinics already
authorized, the Veterans’ adminis
tration has directed the establish
ment of as many such' clinics as|
necessary in the 70 regional offices'
for the treatment of mental ill
nesses among war veterans.
According to the announcement,
the need for treatment of these
emotional and nervous diseases is
evident and experience in civilian
practice both before and during the
war indicates that a majority of
such cases can be treated in clinics
without hospitalization.
In the mental hygiene program,
emphasis will be placed on group
therapy which is the simultaneous
treatment of a number of veter
ans suffering from similar mental
or emotional disturbances. The
neuropsychiatrist, clinical psycholo
gist and social worker will co-oper
ate as a team in these clinics iQ
treating the patient.
Questions and Answers
Q. Can my daughter, who Is en
gaged to a young fellow overseas,
book passage on a boat and be mar
ried b him while he is still in serv
ice in Germany?—S. P., Havre de
Grace, Md.
A. The war department says the
procedure is for the girl to write
the boy telling him to get permis
sion from the commanding general,
European theatre, for entrance of
the girl into the area for the pur
pose of his marriage. When he re
ceives this letter of permission from
the commanding general, he should
mail it to the girl. She will then
take the letter along with passport
application to the state department
and apply for passport and visa to
get overseas. She then must ar
range for her passage and pay her
own way.
Q. My husband was in the army
three years, from 1905 to 1908, and
was in the Ute Indian campaign.
Would he be entitled to a pension?
He is not disabled from military
service.—Mrs. R. F. J., Mahtowa,
Minn.
A. There is provision for both dis
ability and death pensions for In
dian wars. I am not sure, how
ever, whether these provisions ap
ply to the period 1905 to 1908. They
apparently apply to earlier Indian
wars. However, to be sure, you
should take it up with your lear-
est Veterans’ administration office.
Q. 1 am a World War II veteran
and would like to start farming. I
kept hearing over the radio that I
could get a loan from the banks
tinder the G.I. bill of rights. Well,
I went to the bank and they said
I had to have capital to get a loan
but how can I have that when I
served three years in the army?
Is there any chance of me get
ting a loan so that I could start
farming?—R. L. K., Winslow, 111.
A. Provisions of this law are that
the Veterans’ administration will
approve a loan up to $4,000 for an
eligible veteran, if the lending in
stitution will make the loan. The
bank or other lender is the judge
of whether or not the veteran is a
good risk and is likely to succeed
at his venture.
Q. My son was discharged from
the army in February, 1946. He was
overseas 25 months and while in
the army he had to work so hard
he could not rest at night and would
wander around in his sleep. Since
he is at home the same thing hap
pens when he works hard. He
can’t get any rest at night. He
wasn’t this way until he went into
the army. Would it be possible that
he is eligible for a disability pay?
—Mrs. J. L. E., Hickory Fist, Miss.
A. It might be possible. The only
way to find out is for your son to
apply to your nearest office of the
Veterans’ administration and ask for
an examination and disability rat
ing.
Q. My son was killed in action
in World War U. His insurance was
made to his mother. We are di
vorced. I am 55 years old and not
able to work. Can I draw a de
pendent parent’s pension? If so, how
much and where shall I apply?—
D. V. M., Ferguson, W. Va.
A. Yes, although divorced, as a
dependent father you should be i-
titled to $25 per month. Make appli
cation to the Veterans’ administra
tion office at Huntington.
Q. My husband is a veteran of
World War I, serving overseas 11
months. He has a 50 per cent
permanent disability given in 1930,
This disability becomes worse. Is he
eligible for pension? If so, where
can he get help?—Mrs. M. L., Fort
Payne, Ala.
A. Your husband evidently had a
disability rating from the Veterans’
administration which likely was
wiped out by the economy act of
1933. Suggest that he contact his
nearest office of the Veterans’ ad
ministration for a new disability
rating.
WOMAN'S WORLD
Plan Trim New Dresses for Fall
While Fabric Selection is Good
<Bu £lrtta ^J4aie
T T SOMETIMES is "hard to realize
A during hot summer days that all
the big stores and foresighted wom
en are planning their wardrobes for
fall, but that’s a fact. If you plan
your fall wardrobe now, your
chances of getting better material
in a wider selection of colors and
weaves is greater than if you wait
a few weeks.
Every woman likes a few trim
new dresses for fall, and the matter
is easily solved by selecting pat
terns and materials that will be
figure flattering as well as practical.
One dress for the woman whose
wardrobe does not permit the ex
penditure of too much money is a
good basic style with several
changes of collar and cuffs. She
might like one set of collar and
cuffs in a prim and dainty sheer
fabric in frosty white. For more
dressy wear, a good choice would be
a gay stripe or plaid, in taffeta or
one of the rayons.
Then again, the basic dress may
not need collar or cuffs for really
formal, dressy occasions. For this
you might like to splurge on some
clever costume jewelry—a,touch of
glitter at the neck, and a matching
bracelet. Remember how popular
pearl type necklaces were—and still
are—and how much they do for a
simple black, brown or navy blue
dress? That’s what I mean.
Basie Dress Must
Flatter Figure
Unless you select the most figure-
fiattering basic dress you won’t be
able to do a thing with it. The side
drape is only good on some figures.
Others look better in gored or slight
ly flared skirts. Still others prefer
neat pleats or strictly straight lines.
Select figure-flattering material
All of these things must be im
portant considerations in choosing
a dress that will take the place of
several. Select, too, one that has
good sleeves and neckline. If you
know, for example, that a V neck
doesn’t do a thing for you—and it
doesn’t do much for the very thin,
fiat-chested woman — then choose
something with a little fullness in
the bust.
If, on the other hand, you have
a well-set pair of shoulders and are
well-filled, stay away from \oo much
material at the top of the dress.
Should you be planning several
changes of collar and cuffs for the
dress, then you will want a basic
style that will be usable with collars
most flattering to you.
Buy a good pattern, a good ma
terial, put the dress together as
carefully as you know how, and you
will then have the most important
ingredients of the successful dress.
Black, navy blue, brown, dark
green and gray are the classic col
ors for this type of dress. The
one you look best in should be first,
second and third choice.
Small Details Make
Dress Fit Wearer
Recent figures prove what most
of us have always suspected. That
is that few women come close to the
perfect figure. This means that small
adjustments must be made on pat
terns and clothes to make them fit
perfectly.
UT
Adjust clothes to your figure.
Some women run narrow in the
shoulders and need an extra dart
there or at the collar to make the
dress lie smoothly. Shoulders, of
course, can be built up with padding
A simple pattern plus a simple
rayon fabric that is easy for a be
ginner to handle makes this a nice
frock on which to start sewing.
The neckline can be worn high or
low, and the fluffy peplum at the
hip adds nice detail to the cos
tume.
so that they will balance the figure,
but this is an individual problem
that must h<» handled directly in
front of the . : rror.
Another important problem in fit
ting is the bodice. To give a well-
molded line, it’s advisable to take
one or two darts under the arms to
get this effect. How much of a dart,
and just where it should lie, is best
determined by basting and fitting.
Just where the hemline should fall
is another point that has troubled
many of us for a long time. This
should not be determined, I feel, so
much by what the fashion is, but
rather by where the line is most
attractive to you. If you are short
and plump you will want a longer
skirt to give you the long line that
is most flattering. The shape of
the legs is often the most impor
tant factor in the length of the
skirt.
Waistlines and sleeve lengths are
another detail which would be
judged by the figure. For this there
is no guide like the full length mir
ror.
Another detail which can be used
with the basic dress is to have one
of those soft sheer wool or wool jer
sey jackets to wear over it. There
are some gathered-at-the-waist
styles that are nice. There are oth
ers that are more tailored.
If you wish to have a bolero jack
et as another change of costume
with the basic dress, select enough
material and then choose a contrast
ing print for lining it and make a
belt of the print to have with th®
dress.
Lingerie Touches
A dress will always do more
for you if you have proper cloth
ing to wear underneath it. A
bulky slip can ruin the good
lines of a dress, and a sagging
slip is a mark of poor groom
ing.
Slender figures can wear bias
cut slips; the stc.it figure should
have one with gores.
Pay just as much attention to
the seams on the slip as the fit.
A too-small bias-cut slip will ride
, up and yield little comfort.
Select the correct length for
your height. They now come in
short, medium and tall lengths
and everyone can be fitted prop
erly. Leave only the minor ad
justments for the straps.
Seams on slips should be flat
and double-stitched. The zig-zag
stitched seams wear well, but
they may look wrinkled if you are
wearing a sheer dress.
The top of the slip gets hard
wear and should be flat and self-
stitched around the edge. Lacy
tops are pretty and dainty, but
if a lightweight dress is worn,
a simple slip will give the best
lines underneath the garment.
Fashion Forecast
A good fall pick-up for last year’s
suit or this year’s too is a smart
stitched dickey. It’s fine foil for
the felt hats which are destined to
appear soon.
If you’re buying a good skirt for
day wear, select at least two
blouses to go with it for extra wear.
One may be tailored and in bright,
jewel-like colors, while the other
may be crisp tubbable white.
Tailored frocks for business and
school carry ever-popular saddle
stitching, leather belts and other
bright accents that liven the cos
tume.
You’ll notice some influence from
men’s wear in some of the sports
wear. Some plaid jackets are tai
lored like the men’s, and there are
coats, so very spo' y looking, that
have iour pockets. .

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
Released by Western Newspaper Union.
Lesson for August 25

Council of Religious Education; used by

JESUS AND PURE LIVING
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:14; Proverbs
4:14-23: Matthew 5:8; PhLlippians 4:8.
MEMORY SELECTION—Keep thy heart
with all diligence; for out of it are the Is
sues of life.—Proverb# 4:23.
Moral corruption has been the
ruin of the great nations of the earth,
and if history is not to be repeated
by the fall of our own nation, we
must do something—yes, something
prompt and drastic. The breakdown
of morals in our land is so evident
and so widespread as to give grave
concern to social and national lead
ers. What then, is the Church
doing about it?
We do not like to talk about adul
tery and related sins. We must
speak with care and tact, but per
haps the time has come for some
straightforward dealing with an un
pleasant situation.
I. Keep Your Home Pure (Exod.
20:14).
As the divinely appointed center
of man’s life, the home holds a
place of such importance that it is
the special target of Satan’s offen
sive. That has always been true,
but it seems that in recent years
the onslaught against the home has
been intensified.
Any violation of the divine plan
for the marriage of one man and one
woman in loving communion for the
founding and maintenance of the
home, is a direct violation of the
law of God.
It is also a violation of the law of
man. It brings serious results in
the destruction of the home, and in
the ruin of individual life—physical,
moral and spiritual.
This awful sin (and do not let a
wicked world convince you that it
is anything else) is back of much of
the discord and divorce in our
American homes.
When we realize that in the City
of Chicago there is now one divorce
for every three marriages, and that
the ratio is rapidly becoming low
er, there can be no question that
divorce is a major evil in our day.
Statistics are positively shocking,
but they are cold and quickly forgot
ten. But who can fail to see,
and who can forget, the awful woe
brought into American home life by
divorce.
Bad as it is, the awful effect on
parents is nothing compared to
the nervous, moral and spiritual
shock which comes to children in
broken homes. Statistics reveal that
now (1946) more than 70 per cent
of the juvenile delinquents and
young people committed to prison
come from homes where divorce
has entered to break down and de
stroy family life.
II. Keep Your Heart Pure (Prov.
4:14-23; Matt. 5:8).
Out of the heart are the issues of
life (Prov. 4:23); hence it is of the
utmost importance that it be kept in
purity and devotion to God.
The heart in Scripture does not
refer to the physical organ which
circulates the blood, but even as that
heart is the center of the physical
life, so there is a spiritual heart
which is the very center of man’s
inner being.
Evil thoughts, unholy desires and
ambitions hidden in the heart will
ultimately be revealed in overt acts
of ungodliness, unless God is permit
ted to regenerate that heart and
make it clean.
The solution for the problem of
impurity is found in our lesson
verses. First of all one must avoid
the way of the wicked (Prov. 4:14-
17). They are so evil that they can
not sleep until they have misled
some poor souls and brought them
down to their own level (v. 16).
They make sin and immorality look
mysterious and attractive. Don’t be
led into sin by the enticement of
curiosity.
Shun the evil way, which goes
down with increasing darkness, by
seeking the good way which “shin-
eth more and more unto the perfect
day” (Prov. 4:18, 19). The way of
life is a bright and shining way.
Don’t let Satan fool you, young peo
ple, into thinking the opposite. It’s
great to be a Christian!
III. Keep Your Head Pure (Phil.
4:8).
The mind of man is quick and
active (that is, if he is really alive
and awake), and it wants to be oc
cupied with something of interest.
The world, the flesh and the devil
are keenly aware of that fact and
come to fill his mind with allure
ments to sin and destruction.
Thank God that no one need lack
for things that are good, honorable,
true and noble to fill and satisfy ev-
ry mental as well as spiritual in
terest. God’s provision is not lim
ited either in scope or variety. He
provides the best, the most delight
ful, the loveliest and most noble.
Observe that it is for us who know
Christ as our Saviour to give our
selves in diligent effort to “think on
these things.” As we do we shall
find that they crowd out our think
ing those things which are sensual,
selfish or sinful. It Is a sound
principle of psychology as well as
a spiritual admonition. It really
works.
Bread Makes the Pudding!
(See Recipes Below)
Don’t Waste Bread!
Most of us don’t think it matters
one way or the other whether we
throw away a
stale slice of
bread, but, if
each family were
to save a slice of
bread every day,
the amount would
feed many mil
lions of hungry families who are
less fortunate.
Small families, particularly find
that the average loaf of bread dries
rather quickly, and there are sev
eral slices within the week that are
regarded as unfit for sandwiches.
But there are literally thousands of
uses for such bread.
Why not start on a personal
campaign of your own just to see
how much you can save by using
every scrap of bread well? Spread
the word to your friends and neigh
bors, and let’s see if we can’t really
save food, which is the equivalent
of putting dollars and cents in your
pocketbook?
Here are ways to use those left
over pieces of bread with meats
and vegetables. They stretch these
other foods as well as make the
dish more savory, which will be of
interest to the palate as well as the
purse.

' The Know-How of Bed Care:
Beds should be cleaned on the
day that you. give a thorough
cleaning to the bedroom. Remove
all blankets, sheets and pillows
to a chair. Draw the mattress
off the bed so that the frame may
be dusted thoroughly.
Box springs may be cleaned
with a vacuum cleaner, and dust
may also be gathered from wire
springs with the vacuum. Wire
springs may also be wiped with
a clean, lintless cloth that has a
few drops of lemon oil sprinkled
on it.
The mattress should be gone
over thoroughly with a vacuum
cleaner on both sides. This, of
course, may be done on the bed
or chair.
Change the mattress pad fre
quently, and fit the sheets care
fully at the comers, tucking them
well underneath the mattress
when you make the bed.

It’s a duty to see that no fat goes
to waste. Here are quick tips:
Every bit of fat left from cooking
may be saved and used again un
less it has scorched or is too strong
in flavor.
Keep any fat from scorching and
smoking. For once a fat reaches
the smoking point, it gets rancid and
it doesn’t taste good.
