WOMEN IN INDUSTRY

They aren't hanging silk curtains
or dolling up the cushions, but there's
women's work in every bomber that
takes off for that long flight to Eng
land, thence to drop destruction on
Germany and occupied France.
Women are being called into this
work in the United States and the
trend has just we'll begun.
But in England it's an old story
Thousands of former maids, cooks
wives, nurses and mattresses are at
work in the factories turning out
bombers in England. Back in World
War l women worked in plants hand
ling explosives and in machine shops
In plants where high explosives were
handled they worked every shift in
rubber soled shoes, that no sparks
might fly from steel nails.
But today the range of employ.
ment is vastly wider. And especially
are women doing heroic work il
bomber factories. Teen age girls and
middle aged women operate power
punches and hand presses, sew wing
fabric and dope wings.
Some Of the work-twirling hanG
presses, for example, is just a long
monotonous repetition of the same
movements, over and over through
eight hours every day.
But it goes on-and the sky be-
comes more and more thickly spread
with the great wings that carry theil
loads of love and kisses to Adolph
AS our own defense program de-
mands more and more man power
here, too, women will be drawn into
the business of making the machines
of war.

If you are permanent minded, con-

called "Liquicod" which the experts
state is the nfoyt successful wave that
has ever been introduced whether
your hair is normal, difficult, brittle,
baby-fne or even white. You lie back
comfortably and soft beautiful wave

ness. You have no feeling of heat, be-
cause no heat is applied. There are
no wires, no pads, no protectors. 1t

DO YOU KNOW? :.

The U. S. Bureau of Home Eco
nomics has developed new way of
protecting cotton from mildew and
rotting. The new process is non-toxic
and comparatively inexpensive. Wide
use of the process is expected by
manufacturers and laundries and it is
useful in the home on household cot
tons, shower curtains, awnings, lawn
chairs, umbrellas and sails. Fabrics
treated do not change in appearance,
or color, and will retain the process
through five washings, and can be
stored for six months with no de-
teriorating effect The fabric becomes
stiff when first treated, but regains it's
original pliability when dry. On
weathering, this treatment is said to
hold up far better than any other Of
more than $50 tested in the Bureau.
The process is made available to any,
one to use without royalty payment.

Ironing can be a carefree gliding
experience with the new cheat mir
ror" ironing pad and cover now on
the market. It is firm, yet resilient
pad protected under Koroseal water
resistant and steam resistant surface.
The Koroseal finish is unaffected by
ironing temperatures. A bright heat
rejecting surface is obtained by add
ing special aluminium pigment to the
koroseal, producing smoother,
dryer and more wrinkle free ironing
surface.

FOR BETTER HOMEMAKING


Antique yellow and pale gray is a
pleasing and restful color scheme for
any room in the house. Walls should
be pale gray with carpet of a deeper
tone. A striped fabric of yellow and
gray makes stunning draperies over
egg-shell glass curtains. A gray and
yellow patterned chintz is suggested
for slip covers or upholstering some
of the overstuffed pieces and plain
yellow damask for upholstering or
covering other pieces.

White marks left by liquids on var
nished surfaces can often be removed
if rubbed at once with a cut lemon,
rinsed with clear water and polished
dry. However, do not cut or allow
lemon or citrus fruit to get on tile
or porcelain sink as it will remove the
high gloss which is impossible to re-
store. Still, on the other hand, if
you'd make cut glass sparkle, dip a
small brush in lemon juice and rub
the glass with it.

Although it is frequently said
that the eyes are "the windows of
the soul" | sometimes believe
that the hands mirror PERSONS
character as most as well. In a
sense, the hands move in a wider
orbit than the eyes, and their
free and spontaneous actions per-
haps claim other peoples atten-
ton more than we realize.
We all notice hands On occas-
ion. Sometimes our attention is
forced on them, Restless hands,
fidgety hands, or quiet hands;
well-groomed, ill-groomed; the
warm hand clasp, the clammy
handshake - we have them all
There are certain occasions when
you especially notice other peo-
ple's hand and your own, as for
example. when you are playing
cards. You have an opportunity
to study the hands CT those
around you and to compare them
with your own hands. You study
their size, length, nails, skin tex
ture, movements, etc.
COMPARE HANDS
When you do make such OBJ
servations, how do your hands
compare with those of other

Soul Mirrors

so thin, a stubby--or that your
nails were more almond-shaped.
Very few people have perfect
hands, but any woman c@n make
her hands attractive if she will
watch two things: "a the use of
her hands, and (2) the care she
gives them.
tt. first consideration has to
do with the gracefulness of your
hands. That doesn't mean you
should take course in dramat-
les. But heres a tip which comes
from the dramatic school: Never
gesture for the sake of gesturing,
or feel that it is necessary to do
this in order to be expressive. A
movement of the hand should be
as natural as a sincere smile, and
as spontaneous.
THOUGHT FIRST
1t should be expressive of a
thought or feeling within you. The
thought or feeling should come
fircst and the gesticulation spring
from it, without an effort on your
part. Such movements will then
have a certain natural grace. If
you have tendency to throw
your hands around like a Dutch
windmill. or to effect certain
mannerisms, try to curb these
habits.
Keep your hands in quiet re-
pose when you are not using

SPRING is IN THE NECKLINES
Spring is truly here whether the

feel that you just can't live an
ether moment without adding at
least a few spring touches to your

lingerie accents prove to be real
spring wardrobe tonics, and the
way they transform an old standby
IS hardly less than magical.

rirpiings at the neck are most

unfailing freshness and charm, is

Made of organdy. evelet en-

Popular types include the new

ing your nails or fingers.
The second important consid.
Grafton is the grooming of your
hands-the nails and skin. Dur ne
these more or less wintry days
when you are inside heated rooms,
1t is very easy for the hands to
become ROUGH and chapped
Sometimes this is caused by not
thoroughly drying them after
thew have been in water.
LOTION NEEDED
AT the best, however, you will
probably find that a good hand
lotion is necessary to keep the
skin soft and pliable. Your nails
should also be faultlessly mani

cuticle and shaping Of the nails.

a well-chosen shade of polish
should be applied.
