Chart represents the estimated figures for fiscal year 1953. ■ Do young girls need to have “secrets”? Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Helene Deutsch in “The Psychology of Women.” The typical girl of twelve or thereabouts finds another girl of her own age “with whom she giggles and titters, with whom she locks herself up in her room and to whom she confides her ‘secrets.’ ” These are not especially important in themselves—what matters is that they are things which grown-ups, and especially her mother, don’t know. The urge to have secrets is an effort to get even for all that the child feels was kept secret from her — for instance, the fact that mother was expecting a new baby —as well as a step toward independ ence. Must “heart trouble” keep you idle? Answer: Probably not. According to Dr. Theodore G. Klumpp of the Office of Defense Mobilization, the nation’s defense needs will require the employment of a million and a half more “handicapped” workers, and many of these may be sufferers from “heart disease” in one form or another. To meet this demand, the American Heart Association has developed “work classification units” in which you may* find out, on the basis of medical diagnosis, for what and how much work you are fitted and where such work may be found. If there is a heart associa tion in your city, find out from it bow-you can acquire a new interest in life. Can “preference tests” be faked? Answer: Yes, says psychologist Orrin H. Cross of the University of Alabama. These tests—which at tempt to show the sort of person you are and which are used by pro spective employers—can be easily faked by anyone who wants to do so. The high and low scoring indi viduals in a group of high school students who had taken one of these tests were told to repeat it and to “fake” an interest in the opposite direction from their real one, and a similar experiment was made with college students. The results show that if an applicant knows what kind of job he is being tested for, he can easily fake his answers if he pleases. KEEPING HEALTHY Antabuse Helps Alcoholic Recover By Or. James W. Barton tutOST RESEARCH WORKERS on alcoholism believe that the method used by Alcoholics Anony mous to cure the patient is. the best method, because the alcoholic ad mits his need of help and prays daily for it. There are some alco holics who will not admit this need and stumble along as periodic drink ers. It is in these cases that the drug antabuse may be effective be cause antabuse gives the alcoholic chemical insurance against taking that first drink—the drink that may lead to a disastrous binge. Thus, antabuse builds a chemical fence around the alcoholic. At a meeting held under the aus pices of the New York medical committee on alcoholism, the manu facturers of antabuse in this coun try reported that the drug has been tested in more than 100 clinics in the United States and Canada by more than 800 qualified physicians and with more than 5,000 patients. “Using antabuse, 50 per cent of these alcoholics have achieved per manent abstinence; another 25 per cent made basic improvement, the condition necessary for rehabilita tion.” Antabuse compels the patient to remain sober as long as he continues to take the drug. The very fact that the alcoholic takes the drug shows that he wants to be cured. Since he takes antabuse and thus re mains sober, the'doctor has his real chance to discuss the matter with the patient and learn his prob lems. “Excessive drinking is al ways a symptom of some under lying disturbance which may be medical or social or emotional or, more often, all three combined.” Having stopped the drinking, it can be learned why the patient started to drink excessively in the first place. “This can be deep psychoanalysis, psycho or emotion al treatment, group treatment, med ical rehabilitation, and a firm con tact with Alcoholics Anonymous.” Antabuse is a small white tablet taken by mouth.

MIRROR Young Girls Of Your ■ ■ Need Secrets MIND By Lawrence Gould DEEP-FREEZE PORK B UY pork and pork products now, and freeze ’em, for the lean season to come. That’s the advice of your favorite butcher. And that’s the advice of Department of Agri culture experts, with an eye to the whole situation, present and future. Do it now, while the price of pork is at a low level. Come spring, and it will hit the ceiling. Come spring, and because of your winter foresight, you can unwrap some of those delicious chops for the family, and laugh at the prices you would have to pay, shopping for the day. The reason for the current plenty is a peak hog slaughter during the early winter months. To take a sample week, hog receipts in a doz en major markets amounted to more than 560,000 head. That’s a lot of pig — in fact, one of the heaviest weeks’ markets since 1947. The New Year ushered in sup plies of frozen pork in cold storage to the tune of 358 ^ million pounds —and that’s about 66 million more pounds than a year ago. And that supply is going fast, so burry up, buy it, freeze it, and have it on hand for the inevitable shortages to come in the spring and summer months. Nh|^MmBPP9Mhm Team Pancakes with Rosy Scrambled Eggs (Set Recipes Below) Serve Pancakes STACK THEM FOR breakfast, luncheon, dinner or supper—pan cakes, of course! These versatile cakes, made thick or thin according to your taste will go to any meal. Make them plain for the morning and serve with breakfast meats, plenty of syrup. Then, if you like pancakes as a main dish, add eggs or meat to the menu to The coming shortages are all tied up with the national corn crop, half of which is fed to hogs. A short crop, and farmers are forced to cut back on the number of pigs they plan to raise in the spring. Fore casts are that farmers intend to farrow 9 or 10 per cent fewer litters than a year ago. So there won’t be so many pigs going to market in the summer and fall, as there were a year ago. A PRO JOB Let the professional, that butcher of yours, do the preliminary cutting for you. Don’t just buy a side of pork and stuff it in your freezer. It’s not a job for an amateur butch er. Once cut and chilled, the rest of the job is a cinch. Get the right wrapping materials first, for improper wrapping of frozen meat is a dead loss, in dry ing, waste, and “freezer burn.” Special freezer papers can be had at your store, and are an invest ment worth making. Such wrap pings are moisture and vapor proof, easy to handle, and hard to tear— a perfect combination. Of them all, aluminum foil is tops, and still available most places. Wrap and pull the paper tightly to exclude all possibility of air, fold and seal with acetate tape. Such tape is immune to both dampness and cold. Separate your roasts, chops and hams, jfvith layers of wax paper or cellophane, and label each pack age carefully. Don’t make it neces sary to drag out that loin roast, and expose it to possible thawing, in order to get at the pork chops or the picnic ham you want to use im mediately. For remember, once a piece of frozen meat is removed from the freezer, and allowed even a preliminary thaw, it has had its day—it can never be refrozen. Remember that your freezer is not a safety deposit box, but rather a bank, to be drawn on and sup plemented, and its contents kept in circulation. iji Woman Draws Fine Because She Turned off Radio MOUNT VERNON. N.Y. — A Mount Vernon woman was recently fined in court for turning off the family radio. She did it with a pistol. Mrs. Susie Norman told Justice of the Peace W. O. Page that her bus- band was playing the radio too loud ly. When he refused her request to turn it down, she took the pistol and fired, cutting the radio cord. Her husband called city police, who arrested Mrs. Norman and charged her with disorderly con duct.

Homes for Christ Lesson for February 17, 1952 Or Foreman W HAT is a Christian home? It is' no solemn place, for “solemn” is not another ord for “Chris tian.” It is not an “American” home, because wMle Christians can be Americans, and vice versa, the two words do not mean the same thing. Sending off the little ones to Sun day school every Sunday morning, or even piling the whole family into the car and going to church 52 times a year, will not quite do it. For church-going is only one part, and the easiest part, of being Christian. What about the rest of the week? * • • Does Jesus Get Beyond the Front Door? ■pHE home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, where Jesus often visited, we can think of as in many ways a Christian home. Jesus was welcome there; he dropped in any time, he felt at home. Now Christ Is most at home (as any one is) where people are congenial, where the atti tude to the things men live by- work, play, love, worship—is the same as his attitude. Also in the Bethany home they lis tened to Jesus. It is well to have a Bible in the house; but that alone will not make it Christian. Is* it read? Do the children when grow- ing up hear the words of Jesus from the Gospels? Do they hear his voice as often as they hear the voice of Mr. Cassidy or the Lone Ranger? • • * How the Home Can Serve T HERE are three ways in which the home of today can serve Christ. One is in connection with the church. Except in rarest cases, every Christian home should be an actual part of some Christian church. A church which has no co operation from the homes in its community will be a dying church. The livest churches, on the ether hand, are those where homes and church do the best team-work. To take only one example: Does your home work together with your church in the recruiting of minlstepi? Ministers have to come from somewhere, and the best ministers don’t all come from preachers’ homes by any means. How about the boys in your home? If one of them felt an urge to be a minister or a missionary, would the rest of you laugh him out of it? Another way for the home to serve Christ is in treatment of stran gers. When strangers move into vour community, or live there for a short time as school teachers sometimes do, is your home open to them? Is your house a “home away from home” for lonely people? When you have a party, do you invite always only those who can invite you back, or do you (as Jesus suggested) include people who will probably never be able to re pay you? A home that prides Itself on being “exclusive” has forgotten Jesus’ words—“I ~as a stranger, and ye took me not in.” 0 0 + Serving the Children A Christian home, moreover, will serve its own children in Christ’s name. In it children will hear about Christ, not as a past figure in history but as a Living One. Parents will teach them Chris tian patterns of living. This will not be merely some thing they hear about in Sunday school, it will be the pattern of life in which they are trained from day to day, beginning even before they can remember. This home, if 11 serves its children as tt should, will show them how to help Christ. The children will know about the church (“His body,” said Paul) and what it is doing in his name around the world. From their earliest years they will be helpers in this work. They will not grow up think ing of “missions” in some vague way, but they will know and be thrilled by the great stogy which that single word carries. And the children In a Chris tUn home will be helped by Jesus far more than they help him. Even at the beginning of childhood they will learn to say “Dear Jesus, help me,” when the mean word or the angry aet are just almost exploding. Even as children they will learn something of what in older years will mean much more, the “practice of His pres ence.” But ns one can learn from the ignorant. And children wlH never learn these things at home without help. A home does not begin to be Christian with the children, but with the parents. Whatever good the children learn, father and mother must learn it first- SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS HALF-SIZES 0/73 CLASSIC 14i-24i II BEAUTIFULLY styled all ^ around frock designed espe cially for the not-so-tall figure.
