In connection with the shutting

during this transitional period,
Detroit is of course at present
facing acute priority unemploy-

hotels or in Army officers clubs. In
London she visited Dickens Book
Shop and bought a translation of
the Russian of "Old Bears Tales"
and a prayer book for her two
children.
It is not contemplated to send
WAACS to overseas service except
to England, Col. Hobby stated.
These women will come in head
quarters companies to do paper
work" and communications. There
will be no motor transport corps.
In England women in uniform do
all the cooking for service men.
THAT was one of the most inspir-
ing things I saw" Col. Hobby re-
marked. ''It certainly is one of the
greatest services rendered by women.
Goodness knows cooking is a hum
drum job, and under those circum-
stances, I should think one OF the
most difficult jobs. The women re-
ceive eight weeks training. When
saw them, they were cooking out
in the open field in pouring rain
without any protection whatsoever.
They had to construct their field
kitchens themselves, building them
out of mud. They were cooking
everything from gingerbread and
Yorkshire puddings to pot roasts."
Experienced No Air Raids.
When a neWSpaperman expressed
doubt about the quality of the food,
Mrs. Hobby said: Il ate with them,
and I know didn't suffer-"
The WAAC director did not get
caught in any air raid. The Ger
mans bombarded Canterbury the
day after her visit there, and that
was as near as she got to one. About
the blackout, she said: 1T is hard
to get around. You have no idea
how pitch black it really Is. You
develop cats eyes,"
Wherever possible, Mrs. Hobby
pointed out, women In England's
armed services are taught two trades
to train them for their war job
and to prepare them for postwar
reorientation.
British women have established
the fact that women sharing the
rigors of the military war effort lose
nothing as women" she concluded.
They have retained their feminine
attitude and charm and gained the
respect Of their men and the ma
tion."

Time Limit May Be Set
10 Pay Charge Accounts
By tho Associated Press.

By tho Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board may
act this week on further consumer
credit curbs. a board spokesman
said yesterday, with the prospect
that a limit will be placed on .the
time for settling open charge ac-
counts.
Members of the board staff and
of the Office of Price Administra-
ton, who have been studying the
problem, have not yet submitted
recommendations. an official said,
but are expected to do so shortly.
Asked about a report that a 40
day limit on charge accounts was
in prospect, the official said that it
was likely that the time would be
somewhat longer. He explained 1t
was reasonable to assume that the
board would try to retain the con-
venience of charge accounts while
preventing their use as a mechan-
ism to circumvent the regulations
governing installment buying.
Regulations governing minimum
down payments and maximum time
periods are now in effect on many
commodities. The list is restricted
to certain durable goods, however,
