Women in Industry

Women auxiliary members should
be on the alert for changing methods
of applying the union label and they
should be clear in their understanding
of the various new stamps applied to
some goods, for state, city and other
tax purposes, so as to avoid confusion
between union labels and others.
The union label is the guide to pur-
chasing in thousands of homes. In
FIVE years the Bakery and Confection-
cry Workers international Union
alone has issued something over fif-
teen million labels, which indicates
that there is a tremendous amount of
union label buying.
Every auxiliary member should be
able to expound to other women buy
ers the meaning of the union label in
terms of better living conditions and
the safeguarding of democracy
through the most thoroughly organ
lied democratic expression in the
United States-the labor movement.
Women do the great bulk of pur-
chasing for the home, even including
the purchasing of mems clothes and a
knowledge of the meaning of the union
label in all of it's phases is of the ut
most Importance.
Those who wish to fit themselves
especially for promoting union label
buying can always get help from the
Union Label Trades Department of
the A. F. of l..

DO YOU KNOW?

Diabetes is simply an inability on
the part of the body to utilize sugars
and starches. The excess sugar runs
off in the urine, and this is the most
reliable sign of the disease. Most
cases occur in persons over 40 or SO.
Only small proportion of diabetes
sufferers need insulin, as mild cases
need only to cut down sugar in tea
and coffee and omit desserts, bread
and starchy vegetables and food.
When cotton, linen or rayon has
been grayed or yellowed by improper
washing and rinsing, add the juice of
one or two lemons to each three quarts
of rinse water.
from the hands by rinsing hands in
vinegar.
To keep drawers from sticking ap-
ply spar varnlSh to all sides of the
drawers. That will partly insulate the
wood against moisture and help pre-
vent swelling which is the cause of
sticking.
The correct way to decide what
length shirt sleeve should be is to
measure the wearer's arm from the
prominent bone at the back of the neck
to the wrist bone, with the arm ex-
tended out at the side. Sleeve lengths
should be purchased according to
these measurements.
Always look on the label of a shirt
for shrinkage guarantee. Under F.
I. c. rules, cotton shirts guaranteed
against shrinkage must tell the con-
sumner the maximum shrinkage ex-
pected. The cut of the back of the
shirt should be full and not subjected
to strain with strenuous movement.

Save the water in which vegetables
have been cooked to be used as liquids
for soups. If vegetables are sieved
while hot there will be less danger of
losing vitamins.
Garnishes: Salted whipped cream
is good on soups that have definite
color and flavor. Sprinkle the cream
with paprika, chopped celery leaves,
chopped parsley, or minced chives.
Popped corn is pleasant surprise
to float on top of cream of corn soup.
Croutons, made by browning cubes
of dry bread in deep fat or in the oven
are another favorable addition.
All children fight naturally, not in
anger, but as a form of play. 1t is
up to the parents and teachers to show
them how to fight fairly, and not to
claw and bite as wild animals. Chill
dren should be taught the art of fight
ing. Although it is not proper to
teach the child that fighting is the
only means of settling problems but
as a means of self protection so that
they will not be knocked down in this
rough and tumble world.
