B—10 “Wanna Buy a Duck?” Is Make Sure Child Has Proper Rest During School Term Fatigue Often Cause | of Low Grades. BY ANGELO PATRL IN EVERY class there are children too tired to do their best work. Some are so fatigued that they do no work and make no progress. Every teacher knows such children, is fa- miliar with their languid, lazy move- ments, their indifferent attention, their poor response. But the teachers cannot do much to help the situation. They meet the children in school and have no power to prevent their ill- ness. Fatigue is illness, and it is caused by poor living habits. The trouble is most marked in the higher grades. Adolescent boys and girls suffer most from their llmnldl\-i gent management of their daily rou- | tine. They want to eat as they feel their appetites' drive, usually toward gandwiches and sweets snatched at| odd times. They will push aside the | carefu selected school lunch and| take a “snack” instead, if they possibly | can manage it. Poor eating habits account for a great deal of fatigue in &chool children in upper grades. A lack of proper rest accounts for more of it. Children have so much energy that they believe themselves to be tireless. “Oh, I'm not tired,” is | their response to every caution. “I| don't need to sleep so much,” is their reply to a suggestion that late hours are bad. “I can do it easily: I never[ get tired,” is the common reply to & | protest against an overfilled day.’ | One weary youngster whose grades | were falling steadily had his Saturday #o filled that it spilled over into Sun-| day. He was to rise at 6 o'clock in the morning. hurry to the corner where his friend was waiting with the car, motor 60 miles to a country home where breakfast was served. ride | with the party over hill and dale un- til lunch time, swim, dress, have lunch, play in a tennis tournament, have tea at a roadhouse and dance between bites, motor back to the house, bathe and dress for dinner, go on to a dance which would last until morning and motor home again. *“Oh, that's noth- ing. I could do that every day.” Another young person, of scholastic mind, had filled his days to overflow- ing with study. He was not content to take a full course, but added spe- cials to it so that he had no time for recreation. No parties for him, no exercise, beyond what he grudgingly performed in the gym. “I can't waste any time. I need to learn all there is to be known, and the sooner the better for me. No, of course I'm not tired. I like it. But he was losing weight. His work showed more than the usual number of errors, and these errors were increasing. His temper was ir- ritable and his eating habits were de. plorable, The two usually go to-: gether. These are two extremes taken from | & great number of fatigue cases.

BY BETSY URIOUSLY enough, one finds no mention of ducks in the Old Testa- ment—unless an occasional reference to “fatted fowl” denotes our fine feathered friend. If, indeed, ducks were unknown in those olden times, then the gourmets of the day missed a real treat! Right now Washington markets are full of plump, tender Long Island ducks at a price that will tempt the sizable family, one duck will probably<e disappear at one meal—if you are “cooking for two” only, then you will have left-over duck, which, very often, is even better than the original in- stallment—for there are many and | delicious ways of using it. Serve with your roast duck, either as garnish or separate dish, baked | apples, applesauce, cranberry jelly, currant jelly, hot cumquats, baked oranges, broiled pineapple slices or fried bananas. Any one of these will enhance the flavor of the meat and “cut” the slightly fatty taste and con- | sistency that some people find objec- tionable, PLAIN roast duck may be stuffed, with any preferred dressing, such | as sage or apple, or the cavity may | be loosely filled with coarsely cut cel- | ery, peeled onions, peeled and cored | small apples and peeled and thinly | sliced potatoes, slightly moistened with milk and well seasoned. Roast the duck much as you would a chick- en, after washing it well inside and out, drying and trussing it. Season it with salt and pepper, place it on a rack in the roasting pan, and bake in a very hot oven for half an hour. Then reduce the heat to a moderate temperature, and cook until done— from one and a half to two hours in all. Baste frequently with the juices | in the pan, and turn the duck often | 50 that it browns evenly. In France duck is often prepared in the following manner, and becomes a great favorite as a “family” dish: DUCK WITH TURNIPS. ‘Melt three tablespoons lard or other fat in a large saucepan. When it is| hot add the duck, which has been washed and dried, but not disjointed. | Cook slowly to a golden color.

This is an ex- cellent way to cook a duck that has definitely reached middle age. * % k x THIS old-fashioned recipe for using leftover duck comes from a cook book that has been in my family since | 1870. The dish is often served in our | household, and has proved popular with every one. DUCK AND PEAS, STEWED. ‘Take the remains of a cold roast duck and disjoint it. Pick meat from carcass in as large pieces as possible. Place in a pan with the legs and wings, season with salt, pepper, cayenne and lemon juice. Pour three- | quarters of & pint of soup stock or bouillon over the meat, and let all| come just to the boiling point. Cook | fresh peas, as usual, or use canned ones; drain them and add salt, pep- per and butter to taste, Reheat and | serve with the duck on a hot platter, with sauce from the pan. Diced car- | rots may be added to the peas if de- | sired. | A delicious way of dealing with an | elderly duck is the following: DUCK EN CASSEROLE. | Divide the duck into joints, and cook in a large casserole in hot oil | until evenly browned.

In the | first place, there is too much danger of working to the point of fatigue. And this, if anything, is the worst enemy of beauty. It undermines one's health to begin with. It etches fatigue lines around the mouth and eyes. It gives the skin a leaden, dullish hue.

Costume colors are sumptuous and regal. Fashion revels in the wine and crushed grape shades, raisin, plum and aubergine (just plain egg- plant!). The coronation blues and reds are designed for grandeur and all of these colors look particularly well with smoky shades of nail polish. There are several new ones out blend- ed to harmonize with these colors. Mauve is new. It is pink with a misty hint of lavender and is suggested to wear with blue, gray and most light colors. Then there is a light rust, just a bit lighter than the rust that looks so well with sun-tanned skin. It goes with all the browns and also has the smoky undertone. Old rose is another new one. It is just what its name implies and is charm- ing with pastel colors. But don't dis- card your clear, bright, rub-tinted polishes for they are so smart with black. Severe black with a fillip of red—a clip, & scarf, a feather and brilliant nails and lips—is one more way of creating a successful Autumn color scheme. ‘The little powder puffs sketched are different because each one bears the name of a screen star across the rib- bon; they are made out of soft plush and are washable. “Hitch your beauty to a star” is their motto.

The disadvantages of marrying a woman of 35 are that in many cases she is so wedded to the family she has devoted her life to that she never divorces herself from them. Her hus- band always runs a bad second to mama and papa, sisters and brothers, hordes of nieces and nephews. Having worked side by side with men for 20 years, she knows them through and through and is a poor incense burner. Having had her own pocket- book and been free to go and come as she pleased, she won't stand for being bossed, or having to account for every penny of the household money. And she, like the male bachelor, also has acquired “ways.” But, taking her all in all, the woman of 35 is a mighty good matrimonial bet. Especially for a widower. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1936.)

I have always instructed my servants to wait until every one at the table has finished and have never seen any other way practiced.
