LEADER TELLS SISTER
Mrs. Joseph Damar of Georgia, rep
resentative Of the women's committee
OF the Council Of National Defense
decries the tendency Of women to deny
themselves feminine habiliments for
the use Of prosaic khaki. Instead OF
Serving the nation" in that manner,
Mrs. Damar thinks these are the def
mite things to be done, expressing
herself after having been asked for
advice:
Buy present styles. already made
mp. Do not refuse TO buy gown be-
cause there IL too much material in
II. That may sound we'll In theory,
but practically 1t 10 wrong. Do not
demand a simpler style because you
are ashamed to look dressy during
war time. Let the unenlightened find
fault with you. They will join the
enlightened when they learn that the
commercial economy board recon-
mended the practise Of being dressy,
a. the present styles and those to
come this fall have been planned with
more intricacy.
ITO refuse, then, to wear these gar.
ments would necessitate others tax.
ing their place, requiring the employ
ing of men in designing, cutting and
selling: also men in the dye works
and transportation lines.
Men released from these extra de-
mands mean that they are released
for ammunition, steel making and
shipbuilding- other words, for war.
You should not rush away from "trip
peries' to khaki, furthermore, because
you viii be competing with the ~
rails necessary for more important
purposes. A rush to uniforms IL not
good economy (except u household
positions). and It 10 inadyisable to run
20 any one color or material, rs vari-
Gus factories are equipped in various
y ays, and II Ii wiser to keep them
running evenly than TO expand In one
line. <.
aon the other hand, do not discard
perfectly good clothing on the ground
! that Il Il out OF style. Here you must
again use your good sense and make |
use Of what You have, as that again |
releases men for other work. Do not |
draw on the labor market TO create |
useless things; IL Ii poor political
economy and poor patriotism. Right
spending Ii right economy" - San
