lNEA Service STAIR written

Legs and feet are highlighted
these days. Brief bathing suits and
sports toys and the new nylon
stockings which, although sheer as
cobwebs, are durable enough for
street wear, demand smooth, blem-
ish-free and hair-free legs.
For remvoal of hair from the
legs there are several new, easy-to-
use, odorless or pleasantly scented
cream depilatories. Simply smooth
depilatory cream on legs and under
arms and leave 1t on while you brush
your teeth and wash your face. Then
step under the shower and let the
water rinse Off the cream and un-
wanted hair with It.

USE LATHER
FOR SHAVING

If there's an electric razor in your
house, try borrowing it the next time
you want to do your legs and UNDER
arms. Or get. someone to give you
an electric razor of your own. A
safety razor does the work quickly
and thoroughly but be sure to lather
the legs before shaving, Dry shaw
ing has a tendency to make the legs
look slightly rough for couple of
days afterward.
For travelling and for week-ends
(even though you use a depilatory
the night before departure), there
are midget razors in tiny cases with
extra, midget-size blades. Keep one
of these in your overnight case.

IT'S A WOMAN'S
WORLD
BY JUSTIN REESE

Two schools OF thought exist
concerning the working conditions
of women. The first is the hui
manitarian, which believes that
women should be protected from
allegedly dangerous tasks and I'M
wholesome working conditions
and hours The second Is the
feminist, which holds that wo-
men should have the same oppor-
tunities as men with which to
find employment without discrim-
nation.
AS result Of the first school
of thought those states Gas a
whole) which have minimum wage
and maximum hour laws differen-
tiate between men and women.
For example, women may not
work as many hours as may men.
Massachusetts has an Hour Law
which limits the working day OF
a woman to nine hours, but which
must be completed within ten
consecutive hours. This particu-
larry affects Mattresses and res
taurant workers for 1t makes II
impossible for them, to serve three
meals, even IL they were able to
take several hours off between
meals. A waitress now can only
serve two meals day. If she Is
able to serve only breakfast and
lunch, she misses the lucretive
tips Of the dinner. In New York
state women as a whole are not
allowed to work after 10 p. m.
These laws are but illustrations Of
the many which are directly
aimed at women.
In other words, women are to
be protected" because OF their
being members of the so-called
weaker sex. Chivalry has It's
place, but in this case needy Wo-
men, married women whose hus-
bands are unemployed, have to
suffer and to find out that the
Jobs which otherwise would have
been theirs have gone TO men.
The feminist movement, the
group which is waging the fight
for an equal rights amendment,
believes that all laws discriminate
ing between men and women
would be repealed by the adoption
of this amendment.
- AIfEARnnRRG.
the feminist holds, women must
be given the same opportunity TO
seek employment as have men
and that present legislation at
fecting their hours and wages
are Ubiquitous:
There have been many instan-
ces of women being thrown out
of industrial employment be-
cause of such legislation. The
laws stating that men and wo-
men must have the same wages
for the same work have, In many
cases, reacted against the women.
The tendency here Is that when
q man and a woman can do the
same work that the man gets the
job.
The feminist movement Is
against placing on women the
stigma of inferiority and incapa-
city. 1t would substitute the pres
ent legislation with regulations
affecting those industries and
businesses where abuses and
abominable working. conditions
exist.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS


Happy Jack Squirrel stood in
front of the old stump into which
he had seen Striped Chipmunk go
with the pockets of his cheeks full
of acorns and out of which he had
come with pockets In his cheeks
quite empty.
1T certainly is his storehouse and
now I'll find out if he is the one who
got all those big fat nuts from un-
der the tall hickory tree" muttered
Happy Jack.
First ne looked this way and then
he looked that way to be sure that
no one saw him, for what he was
planning to do was a very dreadful
thing and he knew it. Happy Jack
was going to turn burglar. A bur-
glar, you know, is one who breaks
into another's house or barn to
steal, which is a very, very dreadful
thing to do. Yet this is just what
Happy Jack Squirrel was planning
to do He was going to get into that
old stump, and If those big, fat
hickory nuts were there, as he was
sure they were, he was going to take
them. He tried very hard to make
himself believe that it wouldn't be
stealing. He had watched those
nuts in the top of the tall hickory
tree so long that he had grown to
think they belonged to him. OF
course they didn't but he made him.
self think they did.
So when Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel had come along and wanted some
Happy Jack had tried to chase him
out of the tall hickory tree and be-
tween them they had knocked down
all the nuts. When they had stopped
quarreling and hurried down to the
ground not a nut was to be found.
Some one else had got every one of
them. Happy Jack had suspected
that it was his small cousin Striped
Chipmunk, and had secretly fol-
lowed Striped Chipmunk to this old
stump. which he was sure must be
his cousins storehouse.
Happy Jack walked all around the
old stump and then he climbed on
top of it. There was only one door,
way and that was the little round
hole through which Striped Chip
munk had entered and then come
out. 1t was too small for Happy
Jack even to get his head through,
though his cousin, Chatterer the Red
Squirrel. who is much smaller, could
have slippedin easily. Happy Jack
shifted and shifted. He could smell
nuts and corn and other good
things. My, how good they did
smell! His eyes shone greedily.
Happy Jack took one more hasty
look around to see that no one was
looking and then, with his long
sharp teeth, he began to make the
doorway larger. The wood was
tough, but Happy Jack worked with
might and main, for he wanted to
get those nuts and get away be-
fore Striped Chipmunk should re-
turn or any one else should happen
along and see him. Soon the hole
was big enough for him to get his
head inside. 1t was a storehouse,
sure enough. Happy Jack worked
harder than ever and soon the
hole was large enough for him
to get wholly inside.
What a sight! There was corn
and there were chestnuts and acorns
and few hickory nuts, though these
did not look so big and fat as the
ones Happy Jack was looking for.
Happy Jack chuckled to himself, a
wicked, greedy chuckle, as he
looked. And then something hap
pened.
"Oh! Oh! Stop it! Leave me
alone!" yelled Happy Jack.
