WASHINGTON, April II.
EARLY RETURNS in the
nationwide survey Of unmen-
tionables being CONDUCTED by the
war production board showed
tonight that underneath 1t all
the average American girl is no
great waster Of material.
With the exception of ladies
who 60 in for monogrammed
lingerie dripping lace and rib
bons, and tipped In diamonds,
milady prefers a streamlined
foundation.
Such textile consumers as the
old-style full-back bloom er,
WPB revealed, have disappeared
with the mohair hustle. The
chemise or teddybear has also
gone into a decline over the last
period Of years and the gus

American boudoir scene as is
popularity supposed.

coat and the sweep of the more
elaborate nightgowns and neg
hgees."
Full, ballerina petticoats and
full slips cut to swirl and swish,
WPB said, must be brought
back to a discreet, but shadow
proof, normal for the duration.
The same ruling will apply to
trailing rousseau nightgowns,
the flowing, bedraped whatSis
known as the negligee or tea
gown.
And while striving to keep
the personal appearance of the
American women alluring, the
textile authorities admitted that
much OF the peek-a-boo business
would be sacrificed to the war
emergency. In other words, the
girls will have TO get along on
four or possibly three of those
seven wells.

UNITED CHINA RELIEF!
You'll see the poster in shop
windows and around about
between now and April Is
and this is to remind you that
before that date Detroit has
promised to fulfill its quota Of
$250,OO0.
Don't tell yourself this is just
another drive for funds. It is,
but a very important one for
the gallant and courageous Chi
nese have been fighting for five
years. II is no mere silk stocking
and sugar shortage they have 10

hunger. They need medical sup

are 10 carry on.
Aside from the fact that il is
the American way. to help those
IN distress we also have
selfish motive not to be over
looked. China is important TO
America in this war.
China's Part
Without China holding the
fort and battling ferociously. the
Japs would have full ling in the
Far East and it would i'm
mediately release for action
against us. the million Japs it
takes TO hold the Chinese line.
You can plainly see your con-
tribution to China Relief IL as
important as the dollars you
give for arms for America,
making ii in all a two-fold
purpose.
So, if some one taps you on
the shoulder and says lady.
can you spare a dollar for China
Relief. you'll remember what 1t

the mercury fell still lower. 1t was
bitter cold Sunday, when thermo-

a promise of going still further
down in the tube. This promise was
fulfilled with a vengeance, as the
mercury passed the zero mark Sun
day night, registering as low as
four degrees below zero on Monday

The temperature eased up on
Tuesday when the mercury had
climbed up to 16 degrees.

heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
And thought how, as the day had
come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
or peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Till. ringing, swinging on its way,
The world revolved from night to
day
A voice, chime,
A chant sublime
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Then from each black, accursed
mouth
The cannon Numbered in the South
And with the sound
The carols drowned
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
It was as IL an earthquake rent
The hearth stones of continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
OF peace on earth, goodwill to menl
And in despair bowed my head;
There is no peace on EARTH" said;
For hate is strong
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Then pealed the bells more loud
and deep,
God is not dead; nor doth He sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, goodwill to
men!"
