Glamour

Have you treated your hair to the
remarkable new Carved Curl Cut" :?
This is achieved by a new invention
called the Curl Carver. 1t shapes as
it sets, two-in-one operation giving
both haircut and finger wave. Curls
are correctly carved right in, and not
an inch of precious back-length of
hair is disturbed. Width is gently
pruned away layer by layer, skillfully
sculping to eliminate shapeless bulk
that drags out weekly waves. The
result is a springy resilient cap of
light curls coiffed to contour No up
keep, for the merest comb fash-sets
everything in perfect order. Better
investigate, girls, if you're having
trouble with stringy hair this sticky
weather!

THE BATTLE OF
THE SANDUSKY PLAINS

"The object of your command
is to destroy with fire and sword,
if practicable, the Indian towns
and settlements at Sandusky by
which we hope to give ease and
safety to the inhabitants of this
country"
With these orders before him,
Colonel William Crawford, COM
panion of Washington during the
campaigns of Bra ddock and
Forbes, veteran of Dunmore's War
and the Revolution, left Fort Pitt
to subdue the Indians on the San
dusky.
Though the last battle of the
Revolution had been fought in the
East, the British, intent on hold
ing the Ohio Country, armed the
Indians for raids against the white
settlers.
The Indians needed no encour-
agement from the British. A sue
cession of acts of cruelty on the
part of the Americans, climaxed
with the murder of 80 Christian
Indians at Gnadenhutten, had
aroused their bitter rage.

NAME PEACETIME
PROGRAM HEADS

Washington, d. G. (ILNS). - John
NJ Carmody, Federal Works admins
traitor, has appointed 80 state direct
ors of a big public work reserve
planned for starting when the defense
program is finished. The task of the
state directors is to have the program

The aim of the organization will be

works projects" built up and ready to
start to absorb the economic shock
which the country will experience in
a transition from war to peacetime
production. An announcement of the
program said:
"All types of projects for capital
improvements will be included, among
them conservation work of all kinds,
schools, sewerage and water supply
facilities, streets, roads and bridges,
public buildings, parks and state in

For Better Homemaking

August and the dog days! If you
haven't packed away your fire screen
this is a good time to substitute with
one of those new wrought iron ones
with brackets to hold flower pots filled
with ivy or green plants. To the attic
with the scuttle and fire tongs and
use your wood basket for summer
magazines. Pack away your heavy
rugs, draperies and bric-a-brac. This
not only overcomes that stuffiness but
actually makes for a cooler house.
Overcome any bare look by using
plants and fresh flowers for decoration.
You can keep your bird bath clean
from green growth or mould by scrub
bing it with a stiff brush and Bor-
deaux mixture.

Women in Industry

Women will be largely responsible
for the success or failure of the gov
ernment's campaign to gather in the
largest possible amount of old alu-
minum.
Aluminium utensils will come largely
from homes and it is the job of women
to select those utensils that can be
given up for the national good
Many WILL perhaps, forget some of
the things that contain aluminium.
There is aluminium in many utensils.
Parts of old vacuum cleaners, certain
washing machine parts, old percola-
tors and cocktail shakers, picture
frames, ice trays, toys, book ends,
measuring cups, soap dishes, camera
equipment, bottle and jar caps, cleo
trio appliance parts these are some
of the things that contain aluminium.
The success of the campaign to
gather up this old but useful metal
will have much to do with keeping
women at work, as we'll as men, in
war industries. Our expanding needs
for planes, tanks, shells and instru-
ments, for ourselves and for those
fighting aggression, have increased
the need for aluminium beyond the
ability of existing plants to supply it.
We are building huge new aluminium
plants but we need more aluminium
noW
The government doesn't want you
to give up any good utensil, because
that isn't conservation. But it does
want you to dig through the house and
hand in everything that isn't of real
use. This is job where women can
make a record-and keep defense
workers, men and women, at their
jobs.
Scrap aluminium goes into things
which can be made with scrap as well
as with new stock, releasing the new
stock for defense work on airplanes
and many other things. The govern
ment warns to be on the watch for
unauthorized aluminium collections,
and advises that aluminium collected
be turned over only to official local
collection committees for inclusion in
the authorized campaign.

On May Is, 1882, Colonel Craw-
ford and 480 frontiersmen left
Mingo Junction for their surprise
attack on the Sandusky villages.
A week later they had left the
eastern forests and were crossing
the first of the plains. Villages
they had meant to surprise were
deserted. Crawford's advance was
no secret.
In the meanwhile the Indians
and British were gathering-Wy-
andots, Delawares, Shawnees,
Buffers Mounted Rangers from
Detroit. Trouble was ahead for
Crawford's men.
June 4th saw the first action.
Crawford sought to drive the In
dians from a piece of high ground.
Night fell with no conclusion.
1t was the next night that
Crawford, alarmed by the arrival
of reinforcements, ordered a re-
treat. Four abreast, the wound
ed in the center, the column toiled
eastward. Then the Indians struck
with all their fury. The head Of
the column was annihilated. The
men, panic-stricken, tried to flee

He was tied to post with Is
feet of rope. His ears were cut
off; he was stripped of his clothes,

against his body and hot Goals

he was forced to walk. While

WHY ILLITERATES?

(From the Washington Daily News
The Army is worried about the
large numbers of selectees who are
unable to read and write Many thou
sands of young Americans do not have
the Army's minimum educational re-
quirements of four years of elemen-
tary schools.
How can this be?
Most of the states have had COM
pulsory education for 20 or 80 years.
A child begins school at 6 or 7. So
why shouldn't practically everybody
in America under 80 be able to read
and write? Why should there be any
youthful illiterates?
Is it possible to forget how to read
and write? Or doesn't compulsory
education compel?
