Thursday, April 10, 1941 Th Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Nine 'avied By Sigrid Arne AP Feature Service Writer Washington This town's most reea! hostess is Mrs. Joseph E. Da Ties, wife :t the former ambassa- doi. She la beautiful. She has tm mense dlgnit . She la one of Amer ica's rlcheit women, and she also fa one of America's most active Lady Bountlfuls So It's a ved-letter day for Wash Ingtonlana who open the mall and find a Davles invitation. They want to see the French and Russian furniture. They wonder if they'll see the Houdons. Or the Rubens. But most of all they want to see the lady. Her golden hair with its picturesque streak of white. Her peaches - and - cream complexion heightened by a simple black velvet k dress and a bouquet of gardenias ' AMD maybe the famous string of black pearls. The lady dislikes ballyhoo about her wealth Her fathei taught her in childhood that owners of riches have responsibilities to society. Specializes in diving So she is caught In the tradi tional poor-Uttle-rlch-glrl's dilem ma. She orders $200 worth of raro flowers to decorate for a dinner. And there is gossip. She feels sure If she hoarded the $200 instead there would be gossip of another color. But she goes along evenly on her father's original advice. She takes her charities so seriously that they're almost a business. Spends hours every day at her desk giving away money with as much efficien cy as she uses to make more. Mrs. Davles is a simple, direct, efficient woman who la much more interested .n other workers than in so-called society leaders. The "New Deal" is her political camp. She had been a friend of the Roosevolta for years. So in 1932 she switched from the republican to the democratic party. That sent a ripple through New York's gold coast Since then Mrs. Davles has quietly talked a v3u5ij oCadij 3! mm Mrs. Davles number of friends into following her. About three times a year she has to give a reception for hundreds. Here's a sample of Mrs. Davies at work. She heard recently that a couple, who had been friends, were on the rocks. So she phoned the wife: "I'm so dreadfully rushed. I haven't read a book in months. What's good among the new ones?" Her cultured friend could tell her, all right. And then Mrs. Davles had dSountiul an idea ;he one she had before she picked up the phone. "Do you think you could brief the new books for me? It would be such a help. Of course. I wouldn't feel right unless I sent around a month ly check "So the friend's worries are over. Mostly Mrs. Davles' charities are quite personal. Old Wends, every' one who has worked for her or for her father daughters of friends who want to go to school. But in the depth of the depres sion she fed hundreds of women and children in New York. She ask' ed the Salvation Army to set up and direct a canteen for her. For years she has been interested in an old women's home in Spring' field. 111., her native city. During the war she financed the largest American base hospital in France and no one knew about it until afterwards. Success in Russia There wis some tittering when she shipped frozen foods ahead of her to Moscow the year Davies was appointed ambassador to the U.S.S.R. The tittering amazed her. It was Just an efficient thing to do, to her mind. That wa3 soon forgotten because Mr and Mrs. Davles, to the amaze ment of the rest of the diplomatic colony there, were soon on a sure footing with the Soviet officials. For one thing they had determined to act no role for the Russians. They were capitalist And as such they proposed to live in Moscow. And the Russian women soon found that Mrs. Davies knew man ufacturing methods. She became friends with the wife of Premier Molotoff, and the two made dozens of factory trips together. Mrs. Da vies grew so interested that she sent home for several facial cream formulas for Mrs. Molotoff to put into production. And ' one bread formula particularly endeared her to the Russian nutritionists a soy bean recipe with high nutrition value. Editorialette Many housewives are saying they wish there were something important they could do in our preparation for national defense. Once more it seems to them that this is a man's world, with men mostly possessing the privilege of making this a strong, invincible country. Women who think that way don't give Uncle Sam credit for gallantry, for he has not overlooked the home and women In this present situation. He has set housewives, and the young women who are coming on, a very real task, that is Just as im portant to this country's welfare as a two ocean navy and a large military force. He has asked all of them to become super lative homemakers, Homemakers and young women who soon will be homemakers, are asked to learn as much as they can about foods and nutri tion, about cleanliness and household management, and about the training and care of children, because the health and the morale of the great American family depends upon this know ledge. Good housekeeping Is part of the American Way of Life which this country Is anxious to preserve. Each woman who keeps her home and her family immaculate, and who prepares meals that are rich in nourishment though they may be simple, is helping to build a sturdy and purposeful America. It may sound like a little thing, and like a humdrum assign ment, but it is one that the women of Europe must be envying us. There, where food is scanty and soap is practically non-existent, homemaklng is a precarious business. There are hints already that mal-nourlshment and lack of cleanliness are taking their toll in the illnesses and the discouragement which follow in their wake. In this country, where men are working at top speed and under the strain of preparing for full defense, America needs good homemakers to provide the clean, calm homes that foster courage and patriotism. Good, Grooming Necessary For G harming Appearance w Good -grooming Is so much a part of beauty that It Is almost im possible to place your finger on the line where they divide. Spring means care of the figure and skin for a civilized appearance on the beaches and at swimming pools. What is equally important besides a good figure is a fastidious regard for immaculate clothes. Don't wear them too long before sending them to the best drycleaner you can find. Stale de posits of the skin's natural oils that collect in garments, particular ly across the back and shoulders, re just as unpleasant as b. o. You will be making more use than ever of antl-perspirants as the weather grows warmer apply them st night if you possibly can. If not, ss you value the color of your dress, apply them at least twenty minutes before you put on your frock. Otherwise, the majority of sntt-persplrants now on the mar ket will not only rot the fabric but cause (an unsightly color change in the dye. Be extremely careful in taking off your frock. Turn your Hps in Better yet. remove lipstick with tissues, and don't make up your 0 mouth until your dress is on. Heav ily coated lipstick stains, whether they are bright orange or deep red, re extremely hard to remove by even the best drycleaner (It all de fends on 'he chemical composition W the lipstick) and many times the most that can be done Is to lighten the smear. Toilet waters 'or use on the skin re refreshing but be certain never to apply them to your dress, for 'hey form one of the most trouble ome stains a tannin stain. Tannin sometimes dries so lightly that it Is almost invisible, but the minute a Pressing iron touches the spot, you we a light brown or deep yellow tain. If you do make the mistake 1 applying toilet water or perfume to your clothes, be sure to tell the dncleaner. He will make certain 'hat no iron is used on the spot. fo once the stain is eet, there is nothing you can do about It. We're all fussy about the "ralghtness of the seams of our O'tokings, but part of beauty and d grooming Is a straight hem -so be wise and send your frocks fine cleaner. It will cost you ""re than a few cents, certainly. M Wu wjn't have the additional expense of having a dressmaker or tailor straighten the hem lor you and you'll save yourself a lot of annoyance A slim, lovely figure is pretty grand In a swim suit, but it is en tirely lost on your admiring public if your dress is stretched out of all proportion. Remember, only a qual ity cleaner measures garments made of types of fabrics wnich are apt to stretch or shrink, before and after cleaning, and he will make every effort to see that they are Just right when returned to you. You will undoubtedlv select dark er powder and make-up' foundation as the sun gets higher in the heav ens and you launch Into the busi ness of getiing "brown as a berry." If that powder and makeup is coated around the neckline of your spring Jacket or your dress and al lowed to remain It will dig into the fabric and become almost Impossible to remove The wise thing to do is to send such garments off as fast as you can for a thorough dry cleaning.

Beatty OPi Feature Service Writer Washington Almost ready to spring on John Q. Public meaning you and me is the food defense program. It will be launched under Paul V. McNutt, the federal security ad ministrator, and the health de fense co-ordlnator. No. 1 salesman will be Dr. Tho mas Par ran. Jr.. the surgeon gen eral He has been selected because he was the medical man who sold the publio one of the toughest bills of health ever peddled the na tional antl-syphilis and entl-gonor rhea campaigns based on frank facing of facts. The food Job is even harder, for poverty and food superstitions have been strong through genera' tlona. Reasons for the campaign are these 1. Surveys by the department of agriculture show that 30 to 40 per cent of the people in this country do not receive an adequate diet to maintain normal health. Much of this can be attributed to poverty. But much also can be blamed on ignorance. 2 A health program is deemed essential to make the American people fit mentally and physically to face the strain of the defense Job ahead, and to absorb the shocks that must come in a world as un certain as today's. The first step in the program will be to present to the public two new types of bread a white bread fortified w'th pep-producing vita min B-l and other essential ele ments, and a yellowish nutty fla vored bread naturally containing these substances. Scientists say the natural bread probably will be better for you. Agriculture department surveys show that the American table is peculiarly deficient in the various parts of the vitamin B complex, thiamin, nicotinic acid, and ribo flavin. Also there is a cerious de flciency in iron. Since bread is f basic part of our diet, and since milling long has robbed bread of its vitamin B, the campaign starts with the staff of life. The second step will be educat ing the public through federal and state diet experts to eat proper 0 ra) ; 111 ?r-.i7f i New Spring FROCKS $098 Smart, new s p 1 n g frocks that freshen your new wardrobe.

Fats and sweets as needed to satisfy the appetite, "9. Water, six or more glasses of It." The men behind the campaign face four big hurdles. First ,there is an apparent sur plus of foods In the country today, although Surgeon General Parran says there Is a surplus only of wheat. He says we do not raise enough food to give every Ameri can the nine course daily defense diet listed above. Second, food habits, superstitions, and poverty must be need and corrected. For instance, the aver age relief client spends only five cents a meal per person for food Families with an Income of $100 9 month spend 10 cents a meal, and that's not too much, If it is spent for the right foods. Third, the big milling companies and bakeries must try to give the public what it wants or face dwind ling sales and eventual bankruptcy. And finally, the wants of the public oftentimes do not coincide with what the public needs. No Relation to Lad; Nick As an example of the tough job ahead of health defense campaign ers, take the case of nicotinic acid. That's a pep-producing vitamin in the B complex. It is present in many foods, especially In some fish, vegetables and wheat. But it's been mlllel out of bread in the past because the housewife wants fine white flour, and the miller wants to produce flour that won't spoil. . Recently a metropolitan newspa per sent a reporter out to investi gate nicotinic acid and report on what it Is, and what It will do. He did, and explained how it miracu lously cured pellagra, how It Is a mildly acid substance long known to science, but unknown as an im portant food element until recently. It builds pep, energy, and morale. Into the newspaper poured a de luge of letters. The writers took the name of the substance at its face value, suspected they were being told to devour nicotine and fiery acid. Nicotinic acid Is not nicotine, nor is it more than mildly acid.
