Fire or Air Raid?..

The difference between the
air raid signal and the fire
siren is very little, and more
than confusing to many
Smyrna residents.
Since the Importance of
each signal can not be overes-
timated, it would seem that
some system would be devised
whereby town residents could
know Immediately if the siren
meant a fire or practice air
raid.
If the public were given an
UNEXPECTED air raid warn
ing, many important defense
workers might think there
was a fire, or waste precious
minutes phoning the defense
center to confirm it. The
danger of this condition,
should there ever be a real air
raid, needs no explanation.
Considerable praise is due
the local defense set-up for
their efficiency and coopera-
tion. All those people who
have no definite task to per-
form are depending upon the
defense workers for protec-
tion. This group, too, de-
serves a more sure way Of rec
ognizing the difference be-
tween an air raid warning and
a fire alarm.

Substitutes Used
For Silk Hosiery

VXTHEN the source of our silk
w supply was cut last summer,
it was necessary for women who
had been used to wearing silk hos
iery to try other fbres. The hosiery
industry has agreed to give the
government all aid possible in
the present emergency, and thus silk
ordinarily used for hose is being di-
verted to other purposes.
All-silk hosiery may be found in
stores up to the end of this year,
Bernice Bronner reports in the De-
cember Good Housekeeping maga-
zine, but the chances are you have
already noticed some changes. Stock
ing legs may be silk but the top hens
or the feet or both may be cotton
or rayon.
Although there is possibility of
the return of silk, both these fabrics
are being used to make stockings,
Miss Bronner says, especially rayon
which she predicts will be widely
purchased. Special finishes for this
type hose have been developed and
these should add beauty and longer
life, improve snag resistance and
texture. New constructions for cot
ton hose as well have been invented.
Sheer, novelty designs and some
plain with fancy cleeks are among
them.
Because of the possible difficulty
of adapting any one type of stocking
to all-wear purposes, Miss Bronner
urges you to consider the times
when each type will serve you best.
For instance, the new rayons are
suitable for general wear. If your
costume is of the tweedy, tailored
type, the fine cotton meshes will
look good. For home, gardening,
driving, shopping, active sports, the
various weights in cotton will be
acceptable and economical. For
dress-up occasions, your choice will
probably be nylon or rayon. i.

Although it takes a

terday, the harp of the trouba-
dours, was played easily and uni
versally. We of today are no less
clever than our forefathers and if
we begin by playing the simple old
melodies which they played, many
of us who have said facetiously
that we never hope to play the
harp until we reach high heaven
will find ourselves playing the harp
and enjoying it immensely, and will

La Guardia 10 Keep
Jobs as Mayor and
Civil Defense Chief
james M. Lands
limited as Executive
Aide to Director

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. Replying to
recent widespread criticism of his
dual responsibility, Mayor La Guar
dia told the City Council today that
for the present he intended to con-
tinue as the city's chief executive
and national director of civilian de-
tense.
He said that during a conversa-
ton with President Roosevelt yes
terday a plan had been worked out
whereby he would be relieved OF
much desk work detail connected
with civilian defense.
In regard to this, observers re-
called that also attending the White
House conference was James M.
Lands, dean of Harvard law school
and former chairman OF the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission.
This three-cornerea meeting gave
rise to reports that Mr. Lands would
be named an executive director of
the o. C. D., an act indicated earlier
by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as
sistant director, during a press con-
ference. Mayor La Guardia refused
to comment on this possibility after
leaving the White House
The Mayor told the Council that
he could not give up his work with
the o. C. D. until the job is fin
ished." but added that he supposed
that sometime he would have to
make a decision about his two
posts.
