UNEMPLOYMENT TO
BE- CUT TO 6 MILLION

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Unem-
ployment in the United States will be
reduced to six and a half or six mil
lions before the end of this year, the
research department of the American
Federation of Labor predicts. Unem-
ployment in December was 100000,
it is estimated.
"The increase in employment has
not been as rapid to date as was orig
inally expected from the defense pro-
gram" the federation pointed out.
"There were almost two million more
people employed in December, 1910,
than in December, 1889. AS the de-
fense work continues, the increase in
employment will be at a faster rate,
but probably not as fast as some of
the most hopeful estimates indicate.
There were some eight million per-
sons unemployed at the end of 1910.
If the Army takes nearly one million,
and private industry two or two and a
half million persons during 1941, the
unemployment would be reduced to
four and half or five million if NO
new workers came into the labor mar
ket.
However, if we may anticipate at
least half million normal increases
and perhaps million abnormal in
crease in workers looking for jobs,
adding these to the unemployed, we
may have six or six and half million
job hunters still unemployed at the
end of 1941."

DEMOCRATIC DEFENSE
progress.

The first line of defense of a de-
mocracy is education = because the
first attack is directed at the heads
and hearts of the people. While the
forces of the mind resist and repel the
disruptive aggression of anti-demo-
cratic propaganda, the economic and
military defenses can be made strong
for the second line of defense. The
schools, colleges, the press, radio and
motion pictures, the civic, cultural and
educational organizations constitute
the forces of our first line of defense.

For Better Homemaking

Modern trend in furniture to this
country was first introduced about
1925 and since that time has become
very popular. The difference between
modern or contemporary furniture
and the so-called modernistic style is
in the way the modern furniture COM
bines the best features of the old pc
riod pieces with new up-to-date
styling. From these original designs
new trend of graceful, liveable fur
niture has been launched.
If you make your own slipcovers,
cut squares of the same material, tax
ing care to match the pattern, to place
on the arms and where the head rests.
Bind the edges of these squares with
the same materials that binds the
slipcovers. You'll find this will save
much laundering and wear on your
slipcovers.

Pantry Palaver

Chefs Hints: Have you tried add
ing half cupful of roasted peanuts
to about two cupfuls of creamed car
rots for an added interest. The chill
dren will love the flavor.
For party dessert make sponge cake
in tube pan. Tint butter cream icing
with pale green and flavor with mint.
When ready to serve fill center with
vanilla ice cream and pour over
fudge sauce.
Cream cheese favored with sug-
gestion of garlic and beaten to the
consistency of whipped cream is de-
licious for party snacks served on
toasted crackers, or spread between
two slices of tomato for a salad.
Chopped ripe olives, added to mush-
rooms steamed in butter, and that left
over lamb minced, make a delicious
meal if creamed together and favored
with sherry
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Home Economics,
thinks good cook can be a fairy god
mother to the modest prune. There
are a good many things to recommend
prunes. They are plentiful, cheap and
contain good supply of calcium and
iron, some Vitamin B1 and some vita
min A.
Serve them hot with little spice
with meats. Chop them and cook with
the breakfast cereal. Cook them and
remove seed and fill opening with
cream cheese, nuts, or peanut butter
and use with other fruits for salad.
Grind them and mix with raw apples,
chopped nuts or other dried fruits for
sandwich filling. Then there's the
Prune Betty in place of the old-fash-
ioned Apple Betty; use them in upside
down cake; mix prune pulp with stiffiy
beaten egg whites or whipped cream
and you have fluffy fruit whip. The
bureau even suggests prune bread So
you see there's magic in the lowly
prune.
Have you ever cooked pork chops in
wine? Bread them and brown in a
small amount of fat. Remove all fat
when well Drowned and add 1a cup
table wine, Il cup water, salt and pep
per and cook very slowly. They will
be tender, thoroughly cooked and have
delicious flavor

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1941.
CONTINUING PROBLEM

Too much optimism over the outlook
for reducing or eliminating unemploy-
ment is unjustifed. Some cheerful
ness is warranted but unfortunately
there's nothing in sight as yet that
promises to solve the unemployment
problem.
This view is supported by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor research de-
partment, in outlining the progress
that has been made in putting the idle
to work under the defense program.
The federation concludes that we may
have six to six and a half million
workers still unemployed at the end
of 1941. That represents progress over
the eight million estimated to have
been unemployed at the end of 1910,
it is true. But there is still long way
to go before the unemployed are all
put to work.
The federation points out that the
increase in employment has not been
as rapid as was originally expected
from the defense program. GAS de-
fense work continues, the increase in
employment will be at faster rate,
but probably not as fast as some of
the most hopeful estimates Indicate" !"
the federation says.
One trouble with the defense pro-
gram as solution of unemployment
is that gains under it are not distrib-
uted evenly over the nation and it can
not be expected to end unemployment
in all localities.
There will still remain an unemploy-
ment problem, and need for providing
public work for jobless workers in
many places.

passage of time. When darkness fell,
with the rain still pouring down, he
continued his sport.
Three hours later Mosley gath
cred up his equipment and catch and
prepared to wade ashore. He found
he was trapped. The violent rain
storm had flooded the entire section.
On either side of his "island" raced
a swirling, boiling current hun
dred yards wide.
The sand bar on which he stood
had shrunk, he discovered, to small
strip. The water was rising so fast
he knew he could not stay there. He
had a fashlight in which he had put
fresh batteries just before he set
out. With this, he found a long, stout
pole. Armed with light and pole, he
started out into the current, taking
chance on getting to shore.
He gripped his pole and held to
his light, trying to brace himself
against the flood. Only desperate
maneuvering enabled him to make
any progress. Several times he went
completely under water.

Mosley found house near the

dried his clothes. The flood COM

Women


For the women who cannot knit or
make bandages but who would like to
give aid to Bundles for Britain, it is
suggested that the saving and gath
ering of tinfoil and foil of aluminium
can be useful. This foil is not used
in any way to manufacture war ma
terials, but is sold here in America and
the money used to purchase medical
supplies and surgical instruments.
Blankets made of squares of woolen
tweed sewn together and lined with
outing flannel are as useful and warm
as knitted afghans, so if you cannot
sew or knit, you can cut woolen ma
terials into squares and send them to
the nearest sewing room of Bundles
for Britain where workers will utilize
them in making blankets. The blan-
kets usually measure 45 by 60 inches
so you can work out your own pro-
portions in cutting squares.

Glamour

Permanent waving has now been
improved so that the wave may look
as natural as that of the girl who was
born with wavy hair, BUT every op-
orator, and every solution, will not
produce this natural curl. If, by
chance you've come out with wave
that got too much heat and your hair
is dry and brittle, try combing a mix
ture of one teaspoon of castor oil in
three ounces of alcohol into the hair.
Let it stay on over night and you'll be
rewarded with even a plain shampoo.
Two or three treatments like this will
bring back your hair to soft natural
luster.
Keep on hand an atomizer filled with
brilliantine or hair oil and spray the
hair each time before combing. The
locks will look smooth and stay in
place much longer.
A well-known reducer and exerciser
of jockeys who presides over the very
latest type of reducing equipment, in
cluding an electric magnecoil blanket
containing three miles of wires that
is used to follow up the treatments
in an electric sweating cabinet, be-
lieves that the key to reducing is de-
hydration-the elimination of mois-
ture from the body-so he applies this
principle consistently, taking care to
preserve the strength of the jockeys
by counterbalancing the treatments
with diet rich in calcium and vege-
tables, and lots of sleep and con-
structive exercise.
He recommends a brew for dieting
made as follows: Cut grapefruit in
half and boil slowly for an hour with
a tablespoon of bicarbonate Of soda
added. Three glasses a day, one be-
fore each meal, are sure to eliminate
inches from the waistline, if one can
take the bitter flavor. This exerciser
