Just It was In World War I. Although 1U great nutritive value as source ot vitamins A. and was unknown in the first war. rdcneri were then attracted to it by the huge yield which could be obtained from one row, cut constantly all through the Summer until the Fall Xreezeup. Chard is a species of beet which can be town as soon as the ground has been prepared, and in a month will be high enough to begin cutting.

For the best quality, leaves should never be allowed to grow more than 10 Inches tall. Leaves which reach this size should be cut, and smaller ones left to grow, providing a continuous harvest ot young tender leaves throughout the season. This Summer-long harvest, which is ideal for the home gardener, is not liked by the market grower, who finds such a crop costly to harvest. His best paying crop is one which can be reaped In a tew trips through the field. Chard is therefore seldom found In markets and most of the seed Is old to amateurs.

When a plant becomes overgrown, all the leaves can be cut off close to the base, and soon a new crop of young leaves will develop. Few Insects attack It, none seriously, and it is not subject to serious diseases. There are some varieties which are recommended for their heavy leaf stalks, which can be cooked and served like asparagus, but the most valuable and palatable contribution to the family diet are the vitamin-rich dark green leaves, which it produces abundantly. A red variety of chard in addition to beta nutritious has much decorative value and ts sometimes growi as a border to ornamental plantings. One of big three Victory Garden crops is the carrot, the other two being beans and tomatoes.

Credit fcr the carrot's popularity is given to nutritionists, who have long praised it as the root crop richest in vitamins. As a table delicacy the carrot ranks high only with home gardeners who know the supreme tenderness and flavor of young carrots as large as a little finger, pulled from the garden and cooked within an hour. Until you have eaten these, you do not know carrots. These Infant vegetables may be pulled up as a first thinning ot the carrot row. Carrot seeds are small, and germinate slowly, in 12 to II days.

8ow thinly, and mix a few radish seeds with the carrot, so the radishes may come up to mark the location ot the row and assist in sultivating safely. Carrots do not suffer from crowding as much as other root crops; so the young plants may oe allowed to grow to finger thickness and then pulled, leaving others spaced two or more Inches apart to mature. They win grow well in fertile soil when the mature roots are close enough together to touch. For canning, young carrots should always be used, and most gardeners prefer to consume the crop while it is still young; but if some carrots should be left growing all Summer and reach maximum sice they will still be found sweet and tender, and as rich in vitamins as the young ones, if not richer. A late crop should be grown for storing, since young carrots keep better in the cellar, or in outdoor pits, than more mature ones.

They continue to grow, we are told, even after they are harvested. mittee on the Cause and Cure War. and only woman delegate to the United Nations Conference on Food and Agriculture, and Mrs. Charles W. Tillett, associate chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will speak.

As the big transport airplane settled to a stop before the station hangar, big double doors popped open and a dozen curious faces looked out upon the Labrador landscape which will mark the Wacs' camp probably for the remainder of the war.

Nineteen States are represented by those Wacs assigned to this base, which is an important link in the chain of airfields dotting the North Atlantic route of the Air Transport Command Europe and Africa. Each ot these women is a volunteer. They are commanded by Lt. Laura M. Gwyer of Pelham Manor.

Only a small percentage of those who volunteered could be assigned at first. They were drawn from two continental ATC bases, Presque Isle. and Gre-nier Field, Manchester, N. H. While they waited at Presque Isle they went through processing like troopers, taking physical examinations with good-natured grimaces.

They did object to one demand. A customs officer asked for their diaries. One of them History that a woman was either chairman of a committee or served an the Judiciary committee.

There wasn't mucn time to admire the scenery after they arrived.

Happy GI Joes whisked them by special army bus to the mes hall for a hot meal. After army custom the Wacs lined up at the counter with trays, but for once army tradition ws broken. Gallantly the GI's carried food to their tables! Then they stood about half shyly half boldly, alert for other little ways to help. Three plane-loads of Wacs landed at Goose Bay within 24 hours. Three times the warming welcome was repeated.

Col. Fish Hassell. veteran army officer, can't do enough for his skirted contingent. The Wacs have access to the newly shellacked bowling alleys, the attractive post theater, the cozy red-chaired library, the hobby room of the Red Cross and the resplendent noncommissioned officers' club. They're taking walks to the dog kennels and enjoy weekend dances.

Colonel Hassell arranged a fishing trip tor them via crash-boat, the thrill of a lifetime for these women. Noncoms have their own club, officers have theirs, but privates have the use of the Service Club only. Colonel Hassell decided something ought to be done for the privates and set about making plans to turn one of the buildings into the "Goose Bay Club." To many the trip north constituted their first plane ride. Corp. Helen Jean Wolcolt was one of the novices.

Wild-eyed, she fat in the plane as lt took off, completely speechless. Then she grinned and declared, "I swore they'd never get me in a plane unless they ordered me up now look at me I volunteered!" Corporal Wolcott's air orientation was brief, and soon she had Joined the' rest laughing, singing and dancing about the roomy plane compartment. Another, pvt. Evelyn Pevey. known as "Pee Wee," thought she was slightly airsick.

However, minutes later after the Wac repertoire of songs was In full sway, she joined the rest in exultation of their first flight. Soon she was deep in conversation with the flight traffic clerk who patiently tried to explain what "all the tunny-looking Instruments on the plane" were all about. At the announcement that their plane was "over Labrador," Sgt. Lida Barr produced a poetical pledge for the "Goose-Bay-Goslings," as the Wac unit came to be known. In a football huddle in the center of the plane all Wacs solemnly repeated: "As at last I come to Labrador land, I'll stick to my buddies in a tight little band; I'll try to be the I i i Miss Byrne's good record Is matched by her personal efficiency.

Last week, when a woman called Democratic headquarters in the Biltmore to inquire about the Syracuse conference, Miss Byrne if ft had all the details in her head and wasnt even stumped when the call er asked what train to take. Into matter how simple the wedding, a bride does not look her best on her wedding day! Ask any bride if that is not true. Planning a wedding, attending engagement parties, shopping, packing for the honeymoon and attending to numerous other details deprive a bride of her usual energy and calm beauty. When the wedding day arrives her fatigue and natural nervousness are revealed. She does not look her best though she is thrilled over the event.

For these reasons it seems wiser to postpone the bridal portrait until after the honeymoon when the bride can present a rested, pretty face to the photographer. She can then wear both her engagement and wedding rings making the a more precious keepsake. For a Lovely Portrait Fastidious make-up is essential for a lovely portrait. In tact, if a bride could be made up for her photograph by a professional model, she would be assured of a more glamorous result. A model can deftly apply a tinted foundation cream or liquid, a lipstick and eye aid to accent one's natural beauty in a natural way I But no make-up helps if the skin is not free of blemishes and if one is not rested.

Sleep a good eight or ten hours before your appointment. Have your hair done a day or two days before your sitting. See that your wedding gown is pressed, your flowers fresh if you plan to duplicate your bridal bouquet. Otherwise carry no flowers. After getting to the photographer's, plan to take a good 30 minutes to touch up your beauly.

Model's foundation over a smooth skin and lips. Carry the tint over all skin area which is exposed by your gown. With brief feather touches, darken your brow arches. Apply lash coloring only to upper lashes and after it has dried apply a bit ot vaseline for gloss. Apply the vaseline to'eyelids also for a becoming sheen which will give depth to your eyes.

Paint on your lip coloring with a brush. Blot it thoroughly and then over your Hps with vaseline again for sheen. Do not look directly into the camera and her drawer. Miss Byrne put her hand and pulled out a bunch of time tables. "Now where will you be leaving from?" queried the vice chairman and in no time flat, she was reeling off train schedules in a way that would do credit to the station master at Grand Central.

is an active participant in the Victory Garden program of the Brooklyn C. D. V. O. She not only cares for her own Victory Garden but serves as gardening instructor and leader to a group of neighborhood boys.

Not content with the green thumb with wtych she was born in Italy, near Rome she has taken the V-10 Gardening Course at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the recent C. D. V. O. Leaders Training Course given by the State Extension Service, Cornell University.

Mrs. Constantino Is the mother of six children. Her interest, however, extends beyond her family into the community. Last year she decided that the children of her neighborhood who had no gardens of their own should plant and tend gardens under her supervision. Believing that lt would be easier to handle a group of boys instead of a mixed group, she went to the principal ot P.

S. 163, to whom she outlined her plan. As a result, seven boys between 9 and 13, and the grandmother of one ot them, appeared for work. A plot of land, 40x100, on Bay 11th near 86th was divided into individual gardens, two people were assigned each and the gardens were planted and tended under Mrs. Constantino supervision.

This year, mindful of the Brooklyn C. D. V. O. goal of 10 percent more gardens and 25 percent higher production, Mrs.

Constantino has taken over more land, just double her last year's allotment. Her gardeners now number ten boys and last year grandmother, who has returned I sanatorium where the national delegates gather to discuss plans for the coming year. Of particular interest in this year's talks will be the announcement that replies to questionnaires disclose former patients of the" Denver Institution are now serving in the armed forces. Camera Clubs By ROBERT R. MORRIS, P.S.A.

Named Wac of the Week I was very fortunate the other evening in having the honor and distinction of being the first of the camera columnists to witness the printing of a colored film transparency onto Gas-parcolor paper. This is what every amateur has long anticipated and the results that were obtained that night were exceedingly gratifying. Not only were the colors reproduced accurately, but the sharpness of the picture was not lost. The picture seemed to take on a dimensional effect, and the skin tones were very realistic. I brought along one of my pet transparencies, a In 1943, 360 parents were treated making a total of 8.418 men and women who have been given care and treatment in the sanatorium since It was founded tor poor consumptives in 1904.

Wrfer, president of the Auxiliary. Tea will be served from 2 to 4 p.m.

An opportunity will be given for member, visitors and friends to inspect the home which serves as a temporary shelter for children ranging in age from I ta 12 years. Camp TJpton, June 17 Sgt.

The picture was enlarged to an 8x10, and it was remarkable how the intricate colored designs of the rug and slip-cover were reproduced. This new process was developed by Dr. Bela Gaspar and his brother Imre, who have been experimenting with color paper for over 15 years. They have at last perfected it to the extent that it is presently being used by the U. S.

A. A. C. for the accurate reproduction of ground shots taken from the air. Previously, one had to go through the messy job of making separation negatives and the tedious work of registration.

This alone took the average amateur a few nights. The new process requires one hour, from the exposing of the paper to the final washing. The speed of the paper is approximately three times that of ordinary Cykora, and this may be used tor test strips. The exposing of the paper, as well as the developing and fixing, is done in total darkness, but the tew remaining simple steps are done in white light in your dark room. This material will be available to the amateur within a year.

Tomorrow evening the Brooklyn Camera Club', 413 Avenue will have Ford Bancroft of Wll-loughby's as guest. He will speak on "Filters." On Thursday evening the Central Camera Club, 1677 Cornelia will have what is known as "Doggie Night," at which time the members and guests will have an opportunity to photograph three trained dogs.
