Dorothy Dix Says 80
Women's Beauty Attracts Men
No Matter What Critics Sav

natural woman, not the synthetic,
made-up creatures with whom they
are forced to consort. They are vio-
lently opposed to the use of paint
and powder and almost, but not
quite. ready to swear that the lips
that touch lipstick shall never touch
mine
Theoretically they are strong for
sensible dress in woman. High
necked, red flannel underwear that
will keep them warm in winter;
big, flat-heeled, roomy, comfortable
shoes and simple, well-made hats
that will last three or four years
instead of all these crazy hairdos
and flummery and sleazy stuff that
they wear, and that kills them off
in their early 80s.
No paints and Spanish cotton and
steel corsets and false hips and
high heels for them! But did you
ever see men crowding around the
woman who represented their ideal
of naturalness?
Did you ever see one of them
marrying the catch of the season?
Isn't it little Goldilocks who en-
tangles men in her curls? Isn't
it the high-heeled satin slippers,
not the No. 9 brogues. that have
always walked over men? Yea,
verify.
Undoubtedly the hard-boiled and
unromantic old realists, who sought
to protect their fellow men from
feminine wiles by passing a law
prohibiting women from adorning
themselves, knew what they we're
about. For there is witchcraft
in beauty, and women have always
woven their spells about men with
silken scarfs and flashing jewels and
swishing skirts and putting per-
fume behind their ears.
Nor should men be criticized for
this. Surely it is only common
prudence for a man who knows
that he is probably going to have
to look at the same face across
the breakfast table for the next
IS to 40 years to pick out one that
he can contemplate with pleasure! !!

collection.
Draperies are probably the most
important single item in the deco
ration of a room. A drab room may
be completely transformed by a wise
selection of fabric with rich glowing
color and a design perfectly in scale
with the architecture of the room.
The same room may remain drab
and uninteresting by a poor selec-
ton, no matter how expensive IL
may be. 1t is necessary to give your
house sufficient study so that you
fully understand what it needs in
the way of color and accent, as well
as what size design motif will be in
the correct scale and proportion. A
tiny Cape Cod cottage living room
will be entirely submerged and all
its quaint charm lost by the use OF
large patterned fabric at its small
windows, but the choice of a neatly
designed small floral or au-over
patterned material tied back over
full dotted-muslin ruff1ed curtains
will have all the prim spick-and-
span quality associated with this
type of house.
On the other hand, the awkward
rooms of the early 1900s with their
ungainly windows and bays coming
almost to the floor are greatly
benefited by the use of a huge, bold
pattern and an interesting window
treatment that masks the defects
and calls attention only to its own
vivid color and interesting pattern.
The combination of these portrait
like f1orals with stripes and plain
self patterned fabrics in the same
color scheme makes most beauti-
full room. Florals at the windows
repeated In a sip-covered chair
across the room, a sofa upholstered
in a matching plain fabric with
the floral pattern appiqued on the
cushions of the sofa and two side
chairs slip-covered in stripes makes
a room that is easily planned and
amazingly effective. The color COM
binations are clear and lasting and
as long as the fabric endures you
will have the same JOY from 1t as

Information On
Social Security

Many industries and other employ
ers are now demanding that their en-
ployes show birth certificates or
other documents which show the name
and place of birth of the worker.
In some cases workers have short
ened or "Americanized" their names,
and have used these assumed names
in obtaining social security cards,
especially during the early days Of
operation of the social security pro-
gram. In these cases, the name on
the social security card does not cor
respond with that on the birth GER
tificate.
In such cases, workers may obtain
new social security cards bearing
their true names, according to Mr..
Glenn II. Pittenger, manager of the
Youngstown, Ohio field office of the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors In
surance. But, in all such cases, a
duplicate number, and not number
which is different from that first is
sued, should be obtained. Applicants
should request duplicate numbers in
such cases, he said.
These change of name cases are
handled through the Youngstown
Ohio social security office for all
workers in the counties of Mahoning
Columbiana and Jefferson. There is
no charge for this service or for the
duplicate cards.

Their organization is the concern
of the National Union of Public En-

the Ministry of Labor and the good
will of the County Councils, de-
termined wartime efforts have been
made to develop proper organization
among roadmen and to improve their
wage standards and conditions of en-

National and regional representa-

object in view. Marked improve

reported by the union.
Since the drive for trade unionism
started amongst them, over 500
branches of the union have been
formed all over the country. In most
of the 62 counties wages agreements
have been negotiated which have add

Wages which in some counties were

RULES FOR FOOD IN HOT
WEATHER

Food you eat and liquids you drink
have a lot to do with your comfort in
hot months.
In hot weather you don't have to
completely change your diet habits,
but you should eat less of the high
caloried foods, such as fried foods,
pastries, rich gravies, heavy soups,
starches and fats.
Take advantage of the seasonal
bargains in fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles. Eat plenty of them for the valu-
able additions they bring in vitamins
and minerals. Lean meat fish, and
poultry, along with milk, eggs, and
cheese are good warm weather pro-
teins.
Drink at least to glasses of
water day to make up for the loss
OF water through the sweat glands.
Be sure also to replace the salt lost
from the body through perspiration.
If you persp;re excessively when you
work, drink slightly salted water or
eat salty foods occasionally as a
guard against loss of too much salt
from the body. And if you are one
of those who fall on the point of heat
prostration every time the tempera-
ture and humidity go up, it might be
wise to check with your doctor about
using salt tablets to ward off heat
exhaustion.
Drink fruit juices in ample guam
tity, too, but don't let them displace
the pint of milk a day for the adult
or the quart day needed by chill
dren.
Keep all perishable foods in the
refrigerator until ready to be used. BE
! particularly leery Of holding left-overs
more than a day or two, especially
custards, creams, cooked and ground
meats, and fish.
If you are picnicking, pack your
food with ice to keep it fresh and
cool. Make salads and sandwiches
shortly before you leave, and keep
vegetables crisp in waXed paper until
you actually sit down to eat Be wary
of uncertified water supplies in the
country; look for a report by your
State Health Department on safe
water.

$680.000 Unpaid Wages

San Francisco, Calif.-More than
$6SO,OOO in unpaid wages was recov-
cred during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1941, H. c. Carrasco, State Labor
Commissioner, reported. This is the
largest amount recovered since 1882
and represents an increase of 81 per
cent over the preceding year.
During the y months period the
labor commissioner received more
than $4,000 complaints of alleged
labor law violations, $4,000 of which
represented complaints of failure to
pay wages. The remainder involved
statutes relating to the eight hour
day for women, child labor, weekly
day of rest, employment agencies, col
lective bargaining wages, antikick
back and other labor laws.

HOW FRESH AND CANNED
CITRUS COMPARE

1t isn't very easy to set up stand
ard of comparison between canned
citrus demons, oranges, grapefruit,
etc. and fresh citrus, but these esti-
mates may be useful:
Canned citrus has about so to so
percent of the Vitamn C strength
(ascorbic acid) of the fresh fruit.
A No. 2 can of grapefruit seq
merits is the equivalent Of two av.
eragc sized grapefruit (No. 70).
Ten ounces OF lemon juice is the
equivalent of nine average sized
lemons (No. $500.
A No. 2 can OF grapefruit juice
contains as much juice as three av-
eragc sized grapefruit (No. 70).
Keep canned citrus and citrus juice
in the ice box. Just before you drink
the canned juice, try restoring the ali
that was originally forced out of it
You do this by pouring the juice back
and forth between two glasses or by
stirring with an egg beater.
