RAW MATERIALS

Tighter control over strategic materials is desired to prevent boot logging for non-defense purposes, and to force plants with stocks Of such materials to use them for de- fense orders.
 Army authorities have strong sus- picions that there is bootlegging but lacking authority to curb it, they have done nothing about running it down. However, on record are two cases of plants with large stocks of strategic materials which have held back from taking defense orders
 The new bill would give the Gov ernment a club to use on such cases. Also the Government could take over the canners.
 The day the War Department sent the bill to Congress, it filed new request with the Labor Department to exempt the canners from the Walsh Healey Act. The canners have been refusing to sell direct to the Army on the ground that they can't afford to pay the prevailing wage scales required by law of gov ernment contractors.
 This has forced the Army to buy canned good from food brokers at a considerably higher price. Since the Army food bill now amounts to around s750,000 day, big chunk of money is involved in the con- troversy.
 If the draft property bill be- comes law, the Government could take over the canneries if they per sisted in their present attitude

what we mean is that the influence Of

answer to the question was this: we as
ministers are preaching what the people

Because we have heard the ridic-
ulous adage, Beauty Is only skin
deep" so frequently, many of US
are inclined to accept it and we
take the attitude that If a swift
glance In the mirror tells us that
all Ia well, we are off to q good
start. And perhaps we are off to a
good start, but it is more than the
start that counts.
Wear Sensible Shoes for Work
and Sports
It has been some time now since
we have discussed feet with an eye
to beauty but, under most circum-
stances, 1t Is our feet that not only
give us our start but carry us
through the day and evening with
minimum of consideration. Too
often we are likely to buy shoes be-
cause they are so cute, or because
they make our feet look smaller or
because the heel is so graceful.
Not that I would for a minute ad-
vocate shoes that are ugly. Scuffed
toes, rundown heels, heavy soleS
Can ruin the best outfit but shoes
that are not comfortable can ruin
face and a disposition. A shoe
that combines beauty and comfort
lis the ideal solution, but, If that is
impossible, 1t Is far better to sacri-
flee little foot beauty rather than
limp around attracting attention to
the fact that your shoes are mis-
fitted or highly inappropriate for
the occasion.
II you have q Job, or do house
work, or 60 in for walking or active
sports, you should wear sensible
shoe by day. A good stylish oxford
looks far better in an office than a
spike-heslsd, toeless shoe which was
designed primarily for evening
glamor. There Is nothing more

Funds Asked for Adviser
In landlord Tenant Cases

The Advisory Committee to the
social consultant in the landloard
and tenant branch of Municipal
Court is seeking to assure continu-
ance of its work with public funds
under the Board of Public Welfare
after July l.
The committees expenses now are
met out of money provided by the
Washington Real Estate Board,
members of the board of the Wash
ington Housing Association and
other interested individuals.
A report made public by the COM
mittee shows the social consultant
handled $50 cases during April, the
largest number to be cared for in
a single month. OF these 119 were
adjusted by conferences with the
real estate agent or owner, lawyers
or officials of a social agency. The
remaining 81 were not adjusted,
because the public relief allowance
was too low to pay the rent and
provide food and clothing, the ten
ant was unreliable or the income
of the wage Garner was insufficient
and social agencies did not have
funds to take the case.
