Coming changes in diet in the not
too-far away future are going to force
their attention upon the women of
America. That's way of saying that
those who plan and get the meals of
the nation are going to be getting a
different kind of meals as these war
months drag along.
1t is not intended that there be any
worry created over food shortages for
that isn't likely. But what is more
than likely is that rising prices for
some things and actual scarcity of
some others will tend to force rather
important diet changes upon the
housewives of the nation.
Any effort now to indicate where
prices may rise most sharply, or where
there may be shortages might bring
down official displeasure - and such
forecasting might also prove wrong
in part. But each can watch for her
self and mark we'll the market trends.
If and as commodities show an in
dication toward too steep prices, or
actual shortage, study can be made of
the worth of such items and of the
comparative worth of others, so that
intelligent changes can be made. The
point will be to effect diet changes that
will maintain nutrition at the highest
possible level, while safeguarding the
family purse.
One reason for expecting certain
market changes is found in the in
creasing export of United States food
stuffs, either in natural form or in
processed form that reduces bulk.
More and more the u. S. will feed
Britain and other fighting nations op-
posed to Germany and Americans will
do their part toward making these
huge food shipments possible. But
when these react in the way of price
rises or commodity shortages, it will
be up to American women to use their
ingenuity to the end that there be no
real need in the u. S-to rearrange
diets so that there is full sustenance
without cutting down the volume of
food that can be sent abroad to feed
the defenders of democracy who cam
not both fight and raise their own
food in sufficient volume for their
sustenance.

You can keep your neck beautiful
and smooth and build up a lovelier
throat and firm chin line by exercising.
This doesn't require time set aside for
exercising either. Move your head back
and forth from shoulder tip to shoulder
tip while mending, preparing vege-
tables or even riding in a taxi. Utilize
these same opportunities when sitting
to keep your ankles supple and trim.
Cross your legs, first one way and then
the other and rotate the foot around
the swinging ankle. Make circular mo-

Gov. Seeks Skilled
Help; Not Negroes

Washington, D. c. - The gov
eminent, through Federal Secur-
ity Administrator Paul V. Nc
Mutt, announced March Is, that
severe shortage exists in labor
for defense industries and urged
the registration of all unskilled
workers of the United States En-
ployment Service.
However, the government an
nouncement made no mention of
the fact that thousands of Negroes
have presented themselves for en-
ployment in defense industries and
have been refused solely on the
ground of color
The shortages are said to exist
in airplane sheet metal workers,
airplane wood workers and inspect
ors, aeronautical engineering, ship
carpenters, loftsmen, boat builders,
ship filters, caulkers, and marine
machinists, tool makers, lath OPP
orators, die makers and tool de-
signers.
This announcement of a short
age Of workers ties in with Senate
Resolution rs, which proposes to
investigate the discrimination
against Negroes in the armed
forces and in industrial plants
holding defense contracts. The
entire airplane industry is said to
be practically lily-white.
Many other industries working
on defense contracts have refused
to employ Negroes, even when
they are qualified to do the work.
