Buyers honId
Keep Eye On
PriceChanges

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS-
Consumers nov can take steps to
protect themselves against un-
authorized increase over the price
ceilings, according to the Consum-
er Division of The Office of Price
Administration. Any store custo-
mer who been changed more than
OPA regulations allow, is permit
ted to sue the retailer for three
times the amount of the over
charge, or $4,000, whichever is
greater, plus attorneys fees and
costs.
The same right is given to ten
ants In areas under OPA regula-
ton who are charged a rent that
is higher than the legal maxi
mum.
Most of The things sold in groce-
ries, markets. department stores,
drug stores and other retail out
lets are under price ceilings. In
general, no retailer may charge
more for his goods .han the high
est price he charged in March. A
consumer or tenant who finds he
has been over-cha1ged should hire
a lawyer to handle his case, which
then is tried in civil court. To
win his case, he must prove that
the retailer or landlord violated
an OPA maximum price regula-
ton.

Negro Nurses
Treating Sub
Survivors

SOUTHPORT, N. G. -(ANP)-
With no fuss and feathers-no fam
fare a group of Negro Red Cross
volunteer nurses aides have worked
long hours in a local hspital, day
and night, helping with the sur
vivors of torpedoed ships.
On four different occasions when
the men were brought into the hos
pital covered with oil, their job was
to cleanse them and make the pa
tents more comfortable before &C
tual treatment could be given.
We are going to have to depend
upon these women more a more
later on" said the volunteer nurses
aid chairman, Mrs. Mary Fergus"
So far they have been a godsend
to the hospital-untiring in their
efforts and most anxious to serve
whenever they are needed"
Approximately 26 Negro aides
were graduated in three classes.

SPIKES ARE COSTLY
Human pedal extremities bear
up pretty well under abuse. But
when they protest there is no
living with them. Corns, callouses,
bunions, hammer toes can ruin
the disposition of a saint. Once
established, these troubles are not
easily corrected. Professional care
is necessary. And shoes that pro-
vide support and comfort, which
few women enjoy. Though we will
say that conditions are getting
better. More sensible shoes are
being sold every day. But not as
many as should be sold. Many
Stiles are hobbling on spiked
heels. And they will pay.
Pinching Or friction will raise
the dickens with our walking
motors. So it is vitality necessary to
make the right selection of lasts.
Ill-fitting shoes are responsible
for poor posture. With out-of-
balance weight bearing, there is
a strain upon the tendOnS or the
foot and the muscles of the legs.
Every woman should stand and
walk beautifully, but few women
do. Good carriage seems to be a
lost art. This lack of physical
splendor may be due largely to
high heels. Certainly, there cam
not be. graceful movement without
a firm foothold. To walk correctly
the head must be balanced, ex-
banded, abdominal fibers mildly
contracted. Pull in your tummy
and the shoulders cannot fall for
ward.
SWING YOUR ARMS
Letting the arms swing natural
ly when walking serves as a coun-
terweight, helps one to retain body
balance. Observe the Smart-looking

Corduroy,
VeIueteenS
In Style
BY HAZEL l.. GRIGGS

Corduroy and velveteen, which
we rarely think of as cottons, but
which very definitely fall in that
group, are perhaps the most popu-
lar materials of the Fall season.
And with wool ON 24-hour call with
the army, garments of these fab
RIGS, serviceable and smart, be-
come wardrobe mainstays because
they are sturdy enough for school,
work, or defense duties, and ver-
satile enough for "off duty" hours.
Suits, topcoats, dresses and hats
in either CT the two materials
dominate the autumn fashion
scene from campus to USO center,
and coats especially are wonder
fully smart for all-around wear.
One such coat, doughboy trench
style, is grand for campus or career
girl wear. In a smoke grey shade,
it follows the trend of many with
a gay turquoise lining, and is worn
with turquoise beanie. A small
collar, tie belt and deep-patch
pockets are nice features.
COMBINATIONS PRACTICAL
Three-piece combination cordu-
roy suits are also practical Tor
general wear. Suits here may be
worn with or without blouses, and
the top-coats are staggering and
roomy. Colors that mix or match
are carmel brown, Victory red,
green gold and plum. A sumner in
black is highlighted with red &C
ceSsories.
Both cotton and corduroy and
velveteen are perfect for the
drindle skirts which are playing
such important roles in college and
career wardrobes this season. Here
dark shades and plaids are winners
and a navy drindl topped by q
dramatic navy sweater and Bit
of colorful jewelry makes a cos
tune for an Occasion"
IDEALLY SUITED
Brief velveteen topcoats also
combine with suits of other mat
erials. or example, gabardine ano
velveteen or poppy tweed ane
! velveteen. A suit of soft Horizon
blue garbardine teams well with
finger-tip length cost of brown
velveteen. And velveteen date
dresses are ideally suited for theil
role, for wear with or without
coats. Trimmed with lace, beading
or bright embroidery, they art
perfect for gayer moments.

losers we're plentiful. Closing trends
were trifle irregular.
The ticker tape frequently dozed
during the brief proceeding. but
transfers for the two hours approx
mated 100000 shares.
The so-called war stocks took q
rest. Steels and motors were the
liveliest on the upside, but final
gains for favorites generally were in
small fractions. Several recently
soaring blue chips retreated under
slight pressure.
Bulletins telling Of the apparently
victorious United States air and
naval drive against the invading
japanese feet in id-Pacific, bro
kers said, did much to bolster bullish
forces. In addition, further British
blasts at Germany again served to
brighten speculative and investment
sentiment.

tiousness among in-and-out traders.

Six Injured in Fire
At Indianapolis Plant
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, June g. Six
persons were injured last night by a
three-alarm fire, preceded by two
explosions, which destroyed two
buildings at the Southwest Side
plant of the National Starch Prod
ucts Co.
The loss was estimated at 5000, 900
by Bernard Lynch, f1re-prevention
chief.
More than 100 fremen and Is

vent the flames from spreading to
other buildings of the company and
of the nearby plant Of the Stewart
Warner Corp.
All of the injured were company
employees except one, passerby who
was bowled over by one explosion.
Fifty-nine men were working in the
two buildings when the explosions
