"i- BROOKLYN EAGLE, TUESDAY, SEPT. 15, 1942 3 EARS TO THE GROUND Dr. Brady says: iTiruur Mann ngjQSa i ii ii uni-iTinri 4 By CLIFFORD EVANS Did you ever try to paint a portrait of Mr. American? Ever wonder what he would look like? Try it. Start with the colors red, white and blue and this Is th picture you will paint.

Mr. American is the type of fellow who has never visited the Statu of Liberty, but he'd raise hell if any one said he couldn't He never studied American history, but he was one of those who kept lt going in 1917... You can't convince him that Abraham Lincoln was a homely colls, stationed at Camp Forrest, is spending a ten-day furlough with his family at 1726 Ryder Street. Herbert W. Peters of 185 Berkeley Place has arrived at the engineer replacement training center at Fort Belvoir Va.

Kaplan of 267 E. 57th St. is attending the field artillery school at the same post. 1 I ft each $100 war bond, and seats in the balcony are free with each $50 war bond. What could be cheaper? There can be no better Investment of your money than Investing it in your own government.

And you get a free ticket at the same time to the greatest all-star show Brooklyn ever will have presented. One of the metropolitan area's leading glamour girls, related to one of the more prominent members of the Social Register, Is down on her luck. The girl Is virtually a prisoner in her hotel room and Is afraid to leave for fear the manager will lock her out. She hasn't paid her rent for so long the hotel doesn't even expect it can collect in any manner, shape or form. And so it has offered to call all tilings even if she would just pay $50 and leave.

But the girl, confined to her room for fear of being locked out, is afraid to leave the room to look for the necessary Job to earn the $50. And what makes the situation particularly bitter for her is this: Until just a few years ago her father was president of a national hotel association and represented the largest hotels in the entire United States. Observations: "Most women stop telling their ages." according to Grace Hartman, "when their see begins telling on them'' iHahaha- man, and if you'll say that Eleanor isn't beautiful he'll say that at least she has character He admits there is plenty wrong with America, but there is little that Americans themselves can't cure. He writes letters to the editor protesting there is no free press, but is disappointed when only four out of five of his letters are printed. He hates to make speeches and he doesn't listen to them, but he agrees the other fellow has a right to talk out loud if he feels he has something to say.

He doesn't care who sings the songs of the nation so long as fellows like Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern writes them. He's always having a good time, as long as his wife and three kids are. Yes, sir! That's the portrait of Mr. American. He may not know the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" but his heart keeps perfect time! Here's a date for you to mark down on your calendar.

You'll have a terrific time and be doing the right thing at the same time. At midnight on Friday, Sept. 25, Brooklyn will stage its own million dollar war bond show at Locw's Metropolitan Theater. Everybody in town will be there. Besides movie stars from Hollywood will be on hand, too.

Soldier Clark Gable Is expected and many others. Major Bill O'Dwyer is chairman of the affair and it's a cinch to pass the million dollar mark. But it's the entertainment on the stage that will be socko. Gypsy Rose Lee the "Star and Garter" star is expected to do her specialty. And as Gypsy takes off.

there will be an auction for each piece of wearing apparel. It should be a lulu. The sale of tickets Is as follows: Seats in the loge are free with each $1,000 war bond; scats In the boxes are free with each $500 war bond; seats In the orchestra are free with MRS. THOMAS G.

Mrs.

N. W. Best time for a face lift is In the Spring. Too often the individual with the sag or droop waits until the Autumn or early Winter, and that's too late for the jiost satisfactory results. I don't mean the seasons of the year but the time of life.

And I don't mean plastic or sculptural surgery which is all right in its place but the cultivation of vite and the prolongation oi youth. In this column recently I offered Information and advice on face lifting several times, only it may have escaped notice because it was not specifically labeled face lifting. Going for weeks or even months without teeth or a functionally efficient denture replacing teeth that have been lost causes not only facial distortion which no face lift or other artifice can correct, but it In evitably Impairs the individual's general health, nutrition, vite, efficiency, because it robs the victim of the boon of good salivary digestion. I have explained here more than once recently the importance of digestion of starch In the mouth and in the stomach by the saliva for half an hour or more after the food has been swallowed provided the food has been properly masticated, and with one or more teeth missing or not functioning of course proper mastication, good digestion, good nutrition, vite, health, prolongation of youth and maintenance of physical efficiency is out of the question. The sag or droop in the face is of minor importance compared with this bad effect on health, from failure to have proper dentistry at the proper time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Menopause I owe you my great thanks for lite heavenly relic of hot flashes I have obtained from taking calcium and vitamin as suggested in your pamphlet on "The Menopause." I suffered so much from the discomforts of hot flashes coming many times in the day, and now they are almost unnoticeable. I had tried several prescriptions by our doctor, and even a course of hormone injections, inri no apparent result. Mrs. R. M.

Answer Thank you, ma'am. On request a copy of the pamphlet "The Menopause" will be mailed to any woman who provides a stamped envelope bearing her address. Dandruff Is any vitamin thought to affect chronic dandruff? J. D.S. (Doorhandle Sterilizer'.

Answer No telling what isn't thought. Send stamped envelope bearing your address, for pamphlet "Care of the Hair and Control of Dandruff." Physiology Please send me (postcards Mrs. C. D. a chart to correct acid condition.

Mrs. C. D. W. Answer I wouldn't know what "acid condition" is, ma'am.

Apparently you have been buncoed by some glib charlatan. In "Feeders Digest" you will find lists of foods which leave acid ash, foods which leave alkaline ash and foods which leave neutral ash. For copy of the booklet send 25 cent.s and 3-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. Knowing as do the pitiful lack of opportunity for many white collar, middle-aged men, your offer seems heaven-sent. Replies will be promptly forwarded.

HELEN WORTH. Would Be a Flier Dear Helen Worth I am a young girl 19 years of age and a constant reader of jour column. Helen Worth, my problem Is a mere trifle to any one else but for me It Is an earnest one. I am interested In learning how to fly. My parents know this but are against It.

However, they've found that nothing in tarnation could change my mind, so they've finally consented to my Joining an aviation school. My only trouble Is the money. 1 I am working In a cafeteria and whatever I make I give to my parents. It Isn't much, Miss Worth, but it certainly helps them tremendously, especially since my lour brothers have Joined the armed services. Couldn't you please suggest some aviation schools where they charge a small tee? Please do not cast this aside, as It means every thing to me and enlightens my mind.

May God bless you, Helen Worth, for the help you ve given to others. HELEN. Mv dear Helen Today we must accept the flying of our children Just as another generation was forced to take In stride the automobile. There are at present no aviation courses open to women at moderate fees. The best suggestion I can make Is that you write to the United States Army Headquarters.

With the constant expansion of the armed forces, It Is quite possible that women will be accepted for basic training. Thank you for the kind words, and Happy Landings! HELEN WORTH.

About two-thirds of them have filed their first papers. Virtually all of them declare that the necessity to make a living and bring up families required so much time that the study for citizenship could not be "squeezed In." Typical of the group Is a woman who has lived In the United States for 35 years. Widowed six years after her arrival here, she supported her five young children, working as a charwoman. She bought a house, raised her family and signified her intention to remain In the United States for the rest of her life. "But I was too busy," she explains, "to study for my papers." Her children are now employed high school graduates.

Today, despite her daily routine of rising at 5 a.m., taking care of the furnace and preparing breakfast for her family, she is In class promptly at 9 a.m., ready to acquire more of the American way of life. In the afternoon, after school closes. she goes to work as a charwoman and retires around 2 o'clock in the morning. Another student, 77, never fails to arrive in class despite the handicap of walking with a crutch. The two men in the class are both over 70.

Yet "one year the seed was bad and In another the crop was scanty because of early frosts." The young farmer kept on writing poems, and showed them to his friends. At length, when he was 27 years of age, he arranged to have a printer put out a book of poetry for him. Six hundred and twelve copies were printed, and within a few months almost all of them had been sold. The author kept three copies for his family. (For BIOGRAPHY section of your icrapbook.)

THESE WOMEN! 'iflv, I have ww I Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Mineola, Sept. 15 Threat of a strike among Mineola High School students who live in Williston Park, because bus transportation to and from the high school on Emory Road lias been denied them this semester by vote of the school district's taxpayers, has not yet materialized. Their parctns are waiting for the Mineola School Board to call a special taxpayers' meeting at which they will have another chance to vote funds for buses. At the annual school meeting last May a proposition to provide funds for transportation of the Williston Park students was voted down. The parents claim now that the annual meeting was not properly advertised and therefore they did not know that it was to be held.

They carried their grievance to the State Department of Education at Albany. The State educational officials have laid the question squarely in the laps of the school board members as to whether they desire to call a special taxpayers' meeting. Dr. Harlan B. Allen, superintendent of the Mineola school system, stated today that the board has not as yet made a decision to hold such a meeting.

Students Find Other Ways In the meanwhile the 50 or more students affected have not stepped aside from school attendance. They are finding ways to cover the 14 round trips daily to and from the high school. Last year the transportation of Robert Burns was not given very much schooling, but he had more than his younger brothers and sisters. The father thought the eldest son should learn as much as possible, and then should teach the younger ones. By teaching others, we ourselves, can learn.

Knowledge is not lost when lt is given to others; it comes more firmly into the mind of the teacher. Because he taught the younger children, and used much of his spare time for reading, Robert kept gaining knowledge. The time was to arrive when he would be called a "well-educated man." In the days of his boyhood and youth, life was hard for Robert's "poor but proud" family. At 13 he helped thresh the grain and at 15 he managed much of the plowing. Robert and his younger brother, Gilbert, sometimes felt worried about their father.

At the age of 50 he was keeping up the back-breaking work of the farm. When 18 years old, Robert was given freedom to go to school once more. This time he studied in Klrkoswald, a town vj5 miles from his home. He learned the art of iff dot he i Rippers on them!".
