A4&ANAS04Ne DEAR ALICIA:
 You and your readers in Amer ica may be interested to know that the preservation of woman's beauty is classified as research work of national importance over here. Proof of that is found in the sci- entists who, since the beginning of the war, have been studying the ways and means of preventing "oc- cupational skin discoloration."
 In the last war, women and girls employed in Royal Ordnance fll- ing factories were subject to the yellow peril"--a skin disease which at that time was thought incurable. Today these frontline' women are being given preventive treatment as well as a new way to good looks.
 Sir David Munro, distinguished Scots scientist, is Chief Medical Off, ficer to the Ministry of Supply. He is responsible for the health of all women employed in government factories. His job includes making hundreds of experiments in beauty and protective treatments in order to save women's complexions.
 Beauty is woman's most valued possession" declares Sir David. I'm going to make sure my de- partment helps them to keep it in- tact. We have, in this war, be- lieve, less than l per cent of yel- low faces"
 Few people are allowed to visit a filling factory. It has too many dangers on both sides. But when you do. you come away with re- newed respect for these women who risk their lives every minute of their working day. Strangly enough, though, their complexion seems to be their major preoccupation.
 Most of them are marvelously made up. Each one of the explo- sives workshops has beauty parlors and luxury washrooms. The Brit ish government supplies the prepa- rations, specially made, free of charge and the girls are urged to use them literally.
 When there yellow job" girls ar- rive on duty they strip down to their shoes and change into suits of the best quality cream flannel Then they go to tables laid out with deep bowls of face creams and bottles of lotions.
 An inspector stands by to see that they make up properly and that they cover their hair before going to their benches. Some use cala- mine lotion, others a non-greasy cream. then a final dusting over with fine powder.
 The one girl in thousand who gets yellow face does so because she has been careless about thor oughly washing her face or not troubling to make up properly. All are given a clean towel every day, but in spite of every precaution some girls with ultra-senSitive and fine skins at times get rasheS on face, neck and arms caused by full minate of mercury. When this hap pens they are put on other work until their skin heals.
 Most of these girls have their faces made up as though they were going to a party instead of to their work. All are grateful to the tire less Scots doctor who has banished the yellow peril" and made them more attractive in so doing.
 Maybe this will prove a good idea for American girls who are working in shell filling plants.

Household Hints
By MARGUERITE YOUNG NEA Service Staff Writer

New York.-Gas restrictions and rubber conservation have increased shopping by mail and by phone so much that now there are rules 70 help the stay-at-home buyer get more for her money.
 The rules are issued by the Na- tional Consumer-Retailer Council an outfit long devoted to promoting cooperation between stores and cus- toners for the benefit of both.
 Roger Wolcott, executive secretary of the council, says long-distance shopping will spread even faster in 1943. It's part of the thoroughgoing streamlining of buying and selling that's in the cards for wartime, he adds. Already Uncle Sam, in the person of the OPA, has issued an order permitting stores to leave of many fiossy services that once made American retail selling and buying worlds wonder, but by no means an always efficient job. For instance, great leeway was allowed in return ing and exchanging goods.
 Now, returns are among the serv- ices restricted for wartime efficiency. Stores are now allowed to decline to take back merchandise which is delivered as ordered, is not defec- tive, is held more than six days. Also stores may leave of delivery by truck, for the buyer who shops in person, of any "carryable" parcel.
 Obviously, it behooves the phone and mail shopper to get the right article in the first place.
 Here are some of the outstanding rules for doing it.:
 1. Read advertisements carefully. Take into consideration all the in- formation given before placing your order. (For instance, consider the word that tells you something speci- fc about the goods, like "all wool" better guide than general state mentS like "it is lovely.~
 2. Be specific when ordering. Tell the color, size, style, price of the article you want, and whether the purchase is to be sent as 8 charge or c. O. D.
 3. Give body measurements (height, hip, chest, waist) in your

Moreover. the occupation of

of these outposts would prevent a
