What, No Lipstick?

 Europe is suffering from war, famine and pesti- skies The freedom which mankind has striven to the twisted mind of a mad Austrian painter who power.
 shores have seen no invading armies, that cities gone hungry. Little did suspect that there was to shudder and lovely women to become pale.
 This to the American way of life has been disclosed by famous Hollywood technician who makes speciality of creating beautiful women by adding bits of grease and chemicals to their natural charms. According to Max Factor Jr. almost every chemical used in beauty preparations is indispensable to defense.
 Permanent wave solutions, he says, contain so- dium and potassium which the government needs for the manufacture of gunpowder The brass tube con- tainers of lipstck needed for cartridge shells Bromine and chlorine used in the manufacture of lipstick but the full production of these chemi calls is necessary to produce poison gas The pig ments used in manufacturing rouge to give that rosy tint to miadys cheeks needed now to make paint for tanks and gun carriages. Even peroxide is getting and it is horrible to contemplate what that will do to the supply of blondes.
 We were just on the point of ending it all, when we learned that that banana smelling mixture used in cooring finger and toe nails is being diverted from cosmetic factories to plants which make high explosives. Come to think of it. if there is any one thing cheerfully do without it is red finger nails and red toenas. May the production of high explosives increase

 However, Miss Perkins was out of town. Also Roosevelt was out of town. And Steelman refused to sur render the limelight and let the Mediation Board step in-despite the fact that he had got nowhere in avoiding the coal stoppage.
 By the time the President and his Labor Secretary got back to their desks the strike was under way and Lewis, with a ferocious waggle of his bushy eyebrows, was thunder ing that he would not permit the Mediation Board to intervene. Steel man had given him his opening and 1 aroused anew his hopes of forcing a White House invitation

 During her b ce, Steelman had baked at calling in tn c Board, created especially for such disputes, because of a desire to win personal kudos for himself as the man who settled them. Two years ago he settled a coal dispute and got public pat on the back from the President. So he was not averse to repeat performance.
 On the basis of the Mediation Boards high record of success, there is little doubt that if it had been called in promptly the Allis-Chalm- CTS rioting and the mine shutdown could have been averted.
 Defense chiefs wanted the Allis- Chalmers case turned over to the Board immediately after the strik- CTS rejected the Knudsen- Knox de- mand that the plant be reopened. Sc when the street fighting broke out DNANAAoS JA Icobh lOA JOoAO AlbCl vention intensified.
 And for time last Wednesday the day Miss Perkins finally got back on the job-inside word was that the order would be issued But before it was issued, Steelman go1 to Madame Secretary, and all that day she did nothing.
 As a result, the House of Repre-, sentatives, which previously had ve. toed probe of the defense labol situation, reversed itself that after. noon, and by vote of 324 to l ap. provkd sweeping investigation. Congrsesmen make no secret of theil intention to grill Miss Perkins abou her handling Of the problem.

 Included in Miss Oygards pro- gram for health improvement in this community were visits to chil- dren with measles, the immuniza- ton of large groups against typhoid and smallpox, visits to young moth- CTS with newborn infants who had recently returned from the hospital, the conducting of six classes in First Aid with 132 persons in attendance, the admission of II more infants to her regular weekly nursing service, consultations with 30 mothers who came to the office with their babies, six conferences held during the month both here and in Douglas, the registering of several expectant mothers for consultations, the ad- mission of eight pre-school children for conference, the showing of two Health Educational films at the public school, field visits that took her all over Juneau, Douglas and out the Glacier Highway as far as Eagle River.

COAL FIASCO

Steelman's insistence on trying to be the hero of the coal dispute also played into the hands of John L. Lewis.
 Lewis was vigorously opposed to calling in the Mediation Board. His secret hope was to force Roosevelt to invite him to the White House and ask his aid to settle the con- troversy. Intervention by the Board would end any chance of that.
 Defense chiefs, being appraised of Lewis plan. wanted the case certi- fiec to the Board last Monday be- fore the old contract was to take the
