Buy yourself an eyecup and a mild
solution of boric acid and enjoy the
luxury feeling that comes after an
eye wash at least twice week. Your
system needs vitamins to produce
long silky lashes and hair, but stimu-
lating the roots of your lashes by
grasping them between thumb and
forefinger and gently tugging at them
will help them grow. Closing your
eyes and brushing your lashes with a
vaseline lubricant will do much to i'm
prove and enhance their appearance,
but care must be taken not to get
anything into your eyes while mas
saging them. A good rich eye wrin-
kle cream used at night will pay divi-
dends by warding off those tiny crows
feet.
Women in Industry
Women wage earners in England
call for governmental consideration
that make some Of our own Depart
ment of Labor output seem more or
less trashy in comparison.
Of course we have women workers
in almost every occupation, but that
is far cry from the floods of wom-
en- who have been called into muni-
tions work and into auxiliary services
in England.
Driven by the pressure of war, the
British government has faced the
problem forced upon it as practical
matter, calling for practical meas
ures. The British government offers,
among other things, literature on per-
sonnel management, amounting to a
real course of instruction. And this
is real problem in plants that have
been accustomed to employing men,
but which must now employ women
almost exclusively.
1t is interesting to note that the
government warns against "unproduc-
lively long" hours of work per day
Both Sir Walter Citrine and Ernest
Bevin lend their experience and their
backing to the work of the Ministry
of Labour's work in smoothing the
employment relations by factual
practical educational work so that in.
dustries, swinging over to women
work forces because men are unavail-
able, may move on in the nations wal
work with continuing full productiv.
ity.
The United States will face this
same problem shortly and it would be
a welcome sign to see the beginnings
of intelligent work toward readjust
ment. 1t is not to be questioned thai
wholly different employment relation:
methods must be used where most OF
work force is women than are re
quired where the work force is all OF
nearly all male.
