no longer was under her arm.

He picked up his hat from the

crossing the street as the girl
came out of the park, walking not
swiftly, but determinedly away.
She glanced at him while he was
still in the middle of the street,
but she was not looking at him
when he accosted her with:
Just a moment, miss"
Her left leg completed its jour

Her eyes, he noted, were blue,
her nose short and wide at the

but as firm as her chin.
Her forehead was low and wide,

Women In Industry

The greatest army Of women work
ers in history will soon be at machines
in the war production centers helping
turn out planes, tanks and guns. 1t
isn't matter of sentiment. it is ne
cessity.
With the present reservoir of men
doing these jobs being reduced by the
draft the need for women workers is
great. The chief of the WPB auto
motive division made the statement
that 1the sooner the need for more
women in industry is appreciated, the
quicker the war program can reach
sustaining pace" He estimates that
between 100000 and one million
women will be needed in the auto in
dustry against the maximum of
100000 in the car production days.
Twenty thousand of the eighty thou
sand workers at the new Ford Willow
Run bombing plane plant are sched-
uled to be women. Women who sewed
upholstery at bodybuilding plant
are now sewing airplane fabric
Women workers, in small numbers,
are an old story around Detroit. Many
date back to post World War days
when there was similar labor short
age; some to that pre-union era when
women were hired because they were
cheaper.
But today there is state law that
if a woman is doing the same work
as a man she must get the same pay.
At inspecting, women are considered
better than men in factories, perhaps
because they are hypercritical. They
are also better at assembling small
parts requiring deft hand work.
One supervisor finds that women
are better learners.

WAR
TRANSPORTATION
PLAN APPROVED

New York City (ILNS). 1.-THE war
transportation program of the Office
Of Defense Transportation has been
recommended by the international
Transport Workers Federation as
worthy of the wholehearted support
of transport labor.
Endorsement of the plan was coup
led with the recommendation that the
transport workers unions should be
given participation and responsibility
in the carrying-out Of the task of
mobilizing and co-ordinating the ma
tons transportation facilities.
"The best and most effective method
Of assuring the success of your pro-
gram is to place the workers and their
unions in position of participation
and responsibility" says the fedora
ton in a letter addressed to Joseph B.
Eastman, director of the Office of De-
fense Transportation at Washington.
transport labor should and must
have voice and representation on all
public agencies, local, state and fed
eral, dealing with transportation mat
ters and carrying out the provisions
of your program. In that way and
that way alone, we are convinced, will
these agencies be able to discharge
their duties and to live up to the re-
sponsibilities your office has placed
upon them"
The international Transport Work
ers' Federation is composed Of many
transport workers unions of the
United Nations and has a worldwide
membership of over 100000 workers
engaged in land, sea and air transpor-
tation. International headquarters are
in London. The American offices are
at 81 Pearl Street, New York City.

Tips
Hints
Helps
DO YOU KNOW?

Research at the University of Texas
has developed a new quick freezing
machine four times faster than any
previous method 1t is called Flash
Freezing. Foods to retain their fresh
ness and flavor must be frozen so
quickly that no chemical or physical
changes occur during the process.
Freezing by this new method is so
fast that juices adhering to the food
surfaces are at once frozen, forming
an ice coating that keeps juices and
favors in. After they are fully frozen
they are busted over with small
amount of dextrose. This changes the
ice coating to a plastic which adheres
closely and preserves food perfectly.
You can now buy shoes with head
lights for getting around in during a
blackout without colliding with other
pedestrians The tiny light throws
enough of beam for the pedestrian
to see a foot or so ahead, but doesn't
show enough light to violate defense
regulations. They look just like ordi-
nary shoes, only difference being they
have extra detachable tongues, which
when fastened to upper part of shoe
hold tiny bullet-shaped fiashlight.
Then there is the safety razor with
the little bulb to make it possible for
the master to get shave during a
blackout.

NAM. SEEKING TO
DESTROY GAINS OF
LABOR, WOLL SAYS

Atlantic City, N. j. (ILNS).-Hit-
ting at the National Association of
Manufacturers, Matthew Woll, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor and a member of the War
Production Board, charged that Seer
tain employing interests" were seek
ing to injure organized labor by Sc
curing passage of restrictive laws
enacted as "war legislation"
Addressing the annual convention
of the international Ladies' Handbag,
Pocketbook and Novelty Workers
Union here, Woll said some industrial
leaders were seeking to "take advan-
tage of the war to freeze wages and
extend the open shop"
81 refer particularly to the National
Association Of Manufacturers and cer-
tain chambers of commerce who would
weaken and destroy our labor organ
izations while preaching patriotism"
Woll declared.
"The only thing employing interests
were concerned with was the labor
pledge not to strike or attempt to i'm
prove its status for the duration of
the war Now they would take away
from US what gains we have made in
years of progress. They are not con-
tent that we remain static"

Do you glaze your baked ham, after

House Eyes
$4,000
Pay Limit

WASHINGTON, June 16-(P)
"A second Administration re-
quest for limitation of individ-
Ual incomes to $4,000 after
payment of taxes was studied by
the House Ways and Means
committee today as word spread
that President Roosevelt would
like action expedited on excise
taxes.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reported to
have suggested that the pending
tax bill will be divided into two
parts, with all efforts being di-
reCted first TO final CongressiOn-
al action on excise levics that
would produce at least $1,000
900 a day.
Should that plan be followed,
Congress would be under less
pressure to act hurriedly on the
more difficult questions of indi-
Vidual and corporate tax rates,
Secretary Morgenthau present
ed a $500, 600, 900 tax program
TO Congress last March 3 but the
first action in the House PROB
ably will not come before the
middle of next month.
Randolph Paul, tax adviser to
Secretary Morgenthau, yesterday
formally requested a $25, 900 flat
limitation on individual incomes
after federal income taxes were
paid.
President Roosevelt first
preached the idea in a message
TO Congress April 27.
Paul proposed a flat 100 per
cent supertax on individual in
comes above S25, 900 after pay
ment of taxes and on married
couples incomes above $50 1000.
He estimated that about H.
600 single persons and married
couples would be affected by
the proposed limitations, which
would produce about S184, 000,-
900.

Cheese stocks piling up in gov

Bossy is doing her part with
record milk production, and
large amounts Of milk r being
turned into cheese, a compact
product with high nutritive
value, which is comparatively
easy to pack and ship abroad.
Torpedoes ripping through

Fewer ships mean less space for
cheese.
Selectivity concerning what is
to be exported in the available

think, is a major factor in rec
ord-breaking cold storage cheese
