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

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

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

"3. One serving of tomatoes, or

min enriched bread or white bread
reinforced with vitamins, as ap
proved by the public health ser
vice. "8. 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.
