Bitter PrivafiOn
Stalks Greece as
Aftermath of War

In one of the few dispatches from Athens since the
collapse of Greece the plight of thar conquered kingdom
hundreds of thousands face hunger is described by
eyewitness who followed the path of the Nszi bhzkreg
through YugoslaVs and Greece. How the HeleneS are
striving fight their way back normal against tremen-
dous difficulties is told in the following international

persons in Athens now. This situa-
ton is causing a run on stores for
food and clothing.
Greek police are most alert and
capable of maintaining order this
far. There have been no incidents
despite a Surly undercurrent.
This manifested itself when a
division Of Italian troops appeared
in Athens Saturday TO participate
in the parade of the victorious
Nazi troops.
The usual Greek street crowds
are turning out IN the hot May
sun. Street cars and gas. electric
and water facilities are functioning
as normal.
L. s. FILMS SHOWN
Even the picturesque guards con-
tinue their duty before the royal
palace in thc%courtyard of which
German cars now are parked.
American films are being shown
in the theaters.
But food rationing is inevitable.
Some shortages in eggs, fruits and
meats already are noticeable.
The daily newspapers. limited in
size and contents. do not say much
beyond urging the population to
pitch in and do the best under the
circumstances.
The German soldiers are behav-
ing with discipline and correctness.
The American Legation is the
busiest of all. deluged by hun
dreds of stranded Americans
clamoring for information on how
TO get out.
But Athens now is isolated from
the outside world.
II is impossible TO motor by car
because there is no gasoline; ships
are not sailing and passengers are
not flying. There are no telegraph
or cable facilities.
Here, against the backwash of
the war. that seems to be a more
bitter pill than bombs or shells.

Savings OF Millions
VisiOned On Clothing

Washington, D. C.-The Office OF
Production Management said the new
procedure of the United States Army
in planning to ask bids soon on large
quantities of winter clothing would
effect savings of at least $4,000, 900
for the government.
Ordinarily the Army would not or
der clothing for next winter until
after the start of the fiscal year on
July 1, which is the period when nor
NAL commercial orders reach peak
with the result that heavy govern
ment purchases would boost prices.
The big saving, officials said, would
be made by ordering at time when
the slack season normally begins in
the clothing industry. 1t was predicted
that savings to civilian consumers
would be larger than the estimate Of
$20,000,000 to the government.

AFL TO CONTINUE BATTLE
AGAINST ANTITRUST DRIVE

Miami (ILNS). = In a statement
sent to the Temporary National Eco
nomic Committee, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Executive Council
declared that the federation will con-
tinue to resist the Department of JUS
tees "perversion of the antitrust
laws" with all the power and resources
at it's command.
The council statement was in reply
to the charges of Thurman Arnold be-
fore the T. N. E. C. that unions cause
price rises. The council assailed the
Arnold testimony as "subtle propa-
ganda based on distortion of fact and
law which was unfounded and aimed
at the destruction of iree labor in
their lawful pursuits"

Women in Industry

What does the girl in garment fac
tory or a textile mill do when her work
is finished? Does she rush to get
ready for party or a dance, or does
she pick up her school books and start
out for classes? Or is she too tired to
do anything but go to bed?
Light is shed on the question by
Women's Bureau Bulletin No. 181
Last summer in the Hudson Shore La
Dor School in New York City 43 stu
dents were queried as to what they
had done the year before with their
non-working time. These were work
ing girls who were taking the summer
off to go to school. They represented
variety of national and cultural
backgrounds. Two came from Canada,
seven were negroes. The majority
lived on the Atlantic seaboard, but
there were students from all of the
makers, milliners,, domestic workers,
spinners, weavers, bakery cooks, fiat
glass workers, electrical workers.
There was also laundry inspector, a
waitress, beauty -parlor operator, a
cork worker, glove maker, a pocket
book worker and several others.
Recreation took the largest share of
the non-working time. Recreation
meant movies, dates, visiting all
kinds of sports and amusements. Only
% Of the 43 students considered read
ing important enough to enter on the
weekly schedule at least once. Some
of the workers enrolled for sculpture
or photography or psychology or culi
nary hints. The most popular subject
was current events.
1t was difficult to compute the hours
spent in union activity because they
varied so greatly from time to time.
For example, one individual listed
seven hours of union activity a week,
which included an executive board

so often she attended membership
or shop stewards meeting. Another
worker was member of the grievance
committee in her factory, and third
worker pointed out that during labor
disputes she had given whole weeks of
her time to house-to-house visiting.
A worker in a ladies' blouse factory
in Connecticut frankly says that her
work doesn't fill her life, the seven
hours day at her machine leaves her
mind without any occupation, and get
ting through at p. m. and having no
work on Saturdays is blessing.
Other statements by students Of
Hudson Shore Labor School are inter
esting because they all indicate the
same thing. The shorter work day and
the two-day weekend have brought
new educational and recreational op-
portunities and have enabled wage
earners to express themselves and de-
velop their creative powers.

Artemis, Psyche, Nukella, Bacchante
and Olympia have been given to these
creations. False hair, violets, sweet
peas, ribbons and bows were used in
such effective ways they have given
this new-old trend fresh interest for
modern use.
A well-known hat stylist tells us
that daytime hats will be seen more
and more on casual Americans who
have taken to hatlessness like ducks
to water. These new hats are light,
air-conditioned and something that
will stay on your head. Then there
are the light cocoanut straws in braids
of beautiful colors that are so light
that there seems to be no hat at all
on the head, but still the hair is pro-
tected from the sun. Fluted brims on
pastel colored felts frame the face and
fit neatly behind the pompadour or
bang or curls and accent their beauty
Fanciful hats trimmed with bows,
flowers and wells for dressy occasions
will still be popular, and there is still
the evening coiffure hat to accent
beautiful tresses and hair-dos.
Have you seen the new finger mitts
of plaid taffeta with pleated cuff or
wide gauntlet matched to your hat,
your handbag, bow at your neckline,
or to all of them! Very saucy and

mother wore

DO YOU KNOW

You had better check on the new
marriage laws before you decide to
marry quickly. Thirty states now re-
quire specified waiting time between
the time the license is issued and the
marriage. Or, the couples must take
pre-marital health tests. Tennessee
and Kentucky have enacted pre-mari-
tai blood test laws. Rhode Island law
requires six days between notice of
intention to marry and issuance of the
license. Delaware law calls for "a
hours between the issuance of the IL
cense and the wedding. Girls, there
won't be another leap year until 1914!
The best way to thaw out frozen

Get open to know when flow starts
Use hot applications, direct flame, or
concentrated heat waves. A direct
flame may be applied by means of a
gasoline blow-torch or lighted candle.
The flame should be played along the
pipe gradually to spread the heat. Hot
applications do not produce as quick
results as direct flame but they are
much safer in that they lessen the
possibility of bursting the pipe and
eliminate fire hazard. A good method
is to wrap the frozen pipes with cloths
and saturate with boiling water, or
boiling water can be applied directly
to the pipe. If, however, the pipe lines
are actually broken through freezing,
there is nothing you can do except
shut off the water and call the plumber.
