But you don't have to travel much far- ther than your own town—nor far- ther than New York City—to leani that there are many different sorts of people, indeed, living all sorts of lives to try. They may be led by a zeal of benefitting humanity—or they may be led by an innate call and lure of distances. There are the people who are build- ers—who must start with something small—a business, an idea, a teaching, a philosophy—and watch it grow. They may be heads of large corporations some day, or preachers, or heads of universities of learning. But they are always building-they are executives. There are the followers—the people who shy away from the Jobs of leading —who study the candidates for polit- ical office, and elect the ones who seem best to them, who read the advertis- ing of rival companies and choose their products accordingly, buying w h e r e merit is due, who read the best au- thors, and adopt the ideas presented which seem to ring most nearly true —who learn the lines of poetry that seem most beautiful to them, and se- lect always the best of what the lead- ers present, according to their Judg- ment. There are Americans of each of these ^groups—Americans of all sorts. They •are not all like us, indeed. There are some who have never seen a large city —who are afraid to ever visit one. There are others who have never left the confines of a city—who don't know what the country is like at all, who have no idea of farms and farm life beyond what they may have gleaned The ttaslnew Man't Feet While most men do not neglect or abuse their, wives or sweethearts, there are untold numbers who are needlessly cruel to theii; feet. A surprising per centage of business men, poor walkers as they arc, have troublesome feet. Our feet are two potent elemeQts in this life I Two good feet are two of th e greatest earthly Wessings, a n d something certainly worth taking care of. We owe our feet, In instances too numerous to specify, an apology for the strain and abuse occasioned by the thousands of steps taken each day. Business men, and women, too, are Intensely alive to the vital role that the feet play in virtually every phase of activity. Business and professional obligations all demand—and are le- gitimately entitled to—the heritage of normally-functioning feet. Chiropodists, podiatrists, after years of research, have established the fact that men and women, long hours on their feet, are subject to foot defects and other bodily ills wholly traceable to abuse and misuse of their organs of locomotion—feet. Our feet are per- manent factors, not fixtures that can be replaced when worn out. To save our feet Is to save the foundation to the human mechanism. Do not turn a deaf ear to the im portunlties of your feet. Incidently ephone we use so carelessly might well indeed have its own wistful poem— . . 01- that book of prose upon the table —buying at all sorts of stores, wearing never had enough to eat, all at once. you should not always blame your feet from ^ k s .

Have you ever tliought about it? Have you ever really looked to see? I wonder. There are sgr many it's really hard to tell—there are so many different ways of looking af them. too. The salesman selling lus product, the lawmaker about to make his laws, the amusement vendor about to initiate a new game—each of these looks on the American people as something different—as do the na- tive's of the different foreign countries who distinguish Americans from Ital- iojis. Frenchmen, Argentines Of course Americans to use mean North American r e s i d e n t s of the United States. We don't often stop to think that there are residents of South America who might aspire to the title. And of course, what we really mean today, are Just those peo- people who call the United States (Eelr country.

Also It might have been the reason why you were Irate with those five o'clock customers. It was not be- cause you did not want to add to your sales. The true reason was, un- doubtedly, because you were mentally tired from the strain of being on your, feet the previous eight to ten hoius. Perverted habits of posture, occupa- tional factors, faulty footwear are the basic causes of ill conditioned feet. For, strange to relate, our feet bear a vital relation to our comfort, health, happiness and efficiency.

Don't slash Into new material as soon as you get It home; Instead, first pin the paper pattern together and check It with your particular measure- ments. This pattern chOck-up is the time to correct a misplaced waistline, a wrong skirt or sleeve length, a too- ample skirt, or a too-scanty waist. Remember a l w a y s to cut on the correct grain of the fabric before cut- ting out the garment; put away all parts of the pattern not to be used; cut notches \out of\ instead of \Into\ the pattern. These are simple points, but e v e n experienced seamstresses sometimes forget them, says the New York State College of Home Economics. Without someone to help fit gar- ments, here is one way to mark the hemline, provided you consider that large hips or uneven ones may make slight differences: Mark a line around the largest part of your hipe, and mea- sure from this line to the desired hem- line. (To get an even line around your hips, fasten a piece of soft chalk to a table top, or to some other hip- high place, then do a \ring-around or turn-about, thus allowing the chalk to mark the dress at the hip line.) When making children's clothes, you may save time and effort by cutting out several garments at the same time, even though they are to be finished In different ways. Other time savers and energy savers are: stitch all the seams you can at one sitting; trim, fold and baste at another sewing per- iod; make pockets, cuffs, collars, and other extra and decorative parts at one time, because skill Increases with repetition; keep the parts that require iiand-finlshing in a convenient place to be picked up later, for spare-time moments. \Exclusive but not Expensive\ A b e B r o wn The H O M E of GOOD CLOTHES GSeBNPORT, N. Y. Y.W.C.A. D o m o SPLENDID WORK IN SVrrOLK COVNTY The threat of our democracy and our American institutions must be met si- multaneously at a number of strategic points. One of the most important of these is Youth. However abhorrent the dictatorships are to our Instinct and passion for lib- erty we may learn from them what can be done with youth. If dictators can mold the thoughts and ideals oT youth by crude regimentation to con- form to their ideology surely we can train our youth to prize and take pride In the freedom and opportunities of our democratic ways. Such an attitude of mind does not Just \happen\ or come \natural\ to American youth. It must be cultivated, trained and intelligently experienced In their own lives. America Is by no means neglecting this Important element of citizenship training. Our public school system compares favorably with any In the world. Our school buildings, equipment, landscap- ing and facilities for physical training and every sport are undoubtedly by far the best In the world. Besides, we have a number of char- acter trahilng agencies such as the Boy Scouts, Sea S c o u t s , the Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and 4-H Clubs which supplement and carry forward the work of our schools during the lea- .sure times of the children and do a marvelous piece of work In building sturdy, self-reliant characters and in training the highest type of American citizenship. However, youth training In the out of school must proceed along the whole line and Include the youth of the en- tire country. We cannot neglect any section. Unfortunately serious dispari- ty exists among various parts of our country. In some sections educational opportunities are still far below stan- dard , for Instance: portions of the South and some rural sections remain outside of the activity of any youth agencies and most of them have no compensating advantages. Although the Boy and Girl Scouts and 4-H Clubs are carrying on a splendid work in our County, still the majority of boys and girls remain outside of the activ- ities of the known agencies. A view over our country In respect to youth training for democratic citi- zenship discloses a sort of disinherited segment of our younger generations and that is the girls and boys Just past school age up to their early twenties who drift Into factory or office employ- ment, mechanics of some sort, domestic service or remain unemployed. All over this country they represent an Import- ant group In point of numbers and Influence on citizenship. In Suffolk County the Young Wo- men's Christian Association Is endeav orlng to meet the problem of these girls. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Allda Cory, the Executive Secre tary of the local Association, work with such girls is being carried on all over the county. Wherever the proper lead er and sponsorship can be found such groups are formed into clubs. In the most democratic fashion their Interests and activities are guided Into useful education, and social channels. In cau tlous ways the conventional barriers between races, creeds and nationalities are lowered and democracy Is made to work out In theh- own experience. The leisure of the young folks is profitably though pleasantly occupied a n d t h work among them is not only prevent- ive for mischief but productive of good In building character and training for usefulness and citizenship. The poUcy of the Y.W.C.A. to work with other organizations and to recog- nize theb: functions has obviated any duplication of efforts. For these In between girls there Is very little of group Interest offered In most of our communities. In subsequent articles some of the more important phases of the work of our County Young Women's Christian Association will be described.

Typhoid U the chief disease and the great reductlpn of typhoid oases In this country has largely been due to people connecting to safe Village Water Works Systems which water is contin- ually tested by the State Hmltb De- partment. The fact that water from dug and shallow wells looks clear and spark' ling in a glato is no guarantee that It does not contain the germs of diseaae. The fact that a shallow well has alwim been pure is no assurance that it wlU continue to be so.
