Friday and Saturday!
The war will last ten years. It will
be over in six months, our country
will be attacked, there is no chance
of it being attacked, we are out­
producing the rest of the world
and our production is way below
what it should be.
If that sentence is a little con­
fusing, please pardon it—I'm just
repeating the "inside dope" I got
from talking to othcials in Wash­
ington.
X also learned that the rubber
shortage is a lot of poppycock and
that we may be entirely out of rub­
ber in a year; that sugar rationing
is necessary because our imports
are cut off and that there is no
sense in sugar rationing since the
nation's sugar bins are bulging with
sugar; that the rubber shortage
and the sugar nuisance are entirely
the fault of the oil interests, of the
alcohol interests, of Mr. Ickes, of
congress, of the department of agri­
culture.

THE CROWING PERSONALITY
fiction
As for the war—if I am permit-
ted by censorship to reveal such
vital information—the British are
definitely going to open a second
front this summer; there is no
chance that the British will attempt
a second front this year; the Japa­
nese have been greatly weakened
by our sea victories and other at­
tacks; the Japanese are now
stronger than they were at the be­
ginning of the war; the Russians
can't hold out against the Germans
and the Germans never will be able
to defeat the Russians; the French
are about to revolt against German
rule and the French are ready to
go to war on the side of the Axis.
Having learned all of these vital
facts, I talked with a fairly promi­
nent official about what I should
say to newspaper readers to in­
spire them to play a more helpful
part in our country's war effort.
His advice was for me to do ev­
erything possible to urge the people
to stop criticizing our government
"Everyone down here." he said,
“is doing his level best. Mistakes
are made, but in general it should
be made clear that every depart­
ment is dbing an excellent job.
Look at what Donald Nelson is do­
ing, for instance."

Last week we told how a two-
year old feels about himself and his
world Today we'll sketch his phys­
ical. mental, and social develop­
ment. But since no two children
are exactly alike these character­
istics of the average two-year-old
are not hard and fast measure­
ments of your child's normality. A
child may even be advanced in one
area of growth and retarded in an­
other
At 24 months of age the majority
of boys range in height from 33.5
to 35.5 inches and weigh from 26 5
to 30 pounds and the majority of
girls of the same age tend to be
one-half inch shorter and one-half
pound lighter, with about the same
range in height and weight as the
boys. During the next 12 months
the child grows taller and more
slender—"shooting up" we say as
his clothes begin to be too short
for him.
As for what he can do with his
body, he is just outgrowing hi* baby
toddle and is ready to begin to learn
to run and jump. He will no longer
take the stairs on all fours though
he'll climb slowly with both feet to
each step for some time yet. He
can do a few things with hi* hands,
such as using pencils and crayons
and can do a little cutting with
scissors. But mostly he is not yet
ready for the control of small mus­
cles and the co-ordination between
ha-id and eye needed for such skill*.
Mentally he is all curiosity. He
wants to open doors and drawers,
to pull things out and feel and ex­
amine them rather than actually
play with them. That is why he'll
empty a whole drawer of toy* or
pots and pans and then walk off
ami leave them for some other field
of exploration.

A food bulletin published by the
National Life Stock and Meat board
stresses the importance of a bal­
anced diet and carefully planned
meal* that will create the desire for
the right food*. There must be no

at the second meal a* when first
cooked if you use thought in prepar­
ing them.
Salads, sandwiches, meat pics,
ragouts, and timbals take care of
left-over meat*. Vegetables, too,
lend themselves to these dishes a*
well as souffle and au gratin
dishes.
Left-over fruits can always be
! used in a fruit salad.
Meat loaves can be made with
left-over meat and served with a
creumed-left over vegetable Only
a short cooking period I* required
for this type of meat loaf, an
advantage worth keeping in mind
when you're late starting dinner.

Proper care will do much to pro-

articles so here are few sugges­
tion*.
Be sure all rubber appliances are
l>erfcclly dry before putting away.
Dry them slowly in a cool place
because heat brings about a chem­
ical change which breaks down rub­
ber. Store them In a dry cupboard
or closet away from light and heat.
Oil, grease and gasoline are
detrimental to rubber so If these
spill on a rubber article wipe them
off immediately.
T
By
the same
token cleanuig fluids i should not be
used to clean rubber ’ or rubberized
articles.
Take care not to snag rubber
goods and keep them free from
kinks and creases that might cause
cracks.
