BOTH AID WAR EFFORT

ual functions, 1t was pointed out
with the Weaver outfit taking care
of seeing that Negroes were placed
in industry. Cramer's group was
assigned the task of eliminating
discrimination when Negroes were
refused employment or held back
on account of color.
Both were important adjuncts to
the rapidly expanding war effort.
That there was no harmony be-
tween the two was shown in the
early days. The Negro supply and
training branch of the WPB is
the oldest with the first staff.
Comes the FEPC with another staff
and definite duties and functions.
Making Investigations and holding
hearings, the FEPC was soon the
center of attraction and held the
limelight until the famous transfer
order to the manpower commission
under Paul v. McNutt.

slant belief among lookers-on who

would clash eventually. DR.. Weaver
insists that no personal element
enters into the clashing organiza-
tionS and Mr.. Cramer is equally as
positive he merely wants to get his
job DONE.

SAYS DEMAND is FOLLY

In time of peace and relative
safety, we could support almost
any Indian program for independ-
ence,-eyen though India is divid-
ed by sovereignties, societies and
religions which may not become
reconciled in the next thousand
years. But under the present con
ditions. a sudden recognition Of
absolute Indian independence
would be the great folly.

From a Woman's Angle .
Good Ice Cream Is Always a Treat;
Nice Way to Supply Milk Quota >.

wife is revaluing the various items
of diet-and one of her chief stand
ards of value is nutrition.
Dairy products, always popular,
now. seem to- rate higher than ever
And one dairy product, which has
been eaten mainly for pleasure In
the past, is now being regarded as
a genuine food rather than an end
of-the meal treat. This is ice cream.
For years, leading medical author
tiles, dietitians and nutrition ex-
perts have indorsed ice cream for
it's food-value. But the American
people paid little or no attention and
went ahead eating their ice cream
cones, sundaes, sodas and plates of
strawberry, vanilla and chocolate
simply because they tasted good.
Now, they're beginning to realize
that they're probably better off
physically. because of all this ice
cream eating!
With the food-value of ice cream
becoming generally recognized, and
with the wartime stress on nutri-
ton being what it is, the minerals,
vitaminS and proteins of ice cream
are being counted in with the daily
allotments supplied by other foods.
Many housewives have learned
that single serving of ice cream
supplies sufficient essential nutri-
ents to change an unbalanced meal
into balanced one. The reason for
this is apparent, when 1t is realized
that milk should be a part of every
meal. Millions of people admit this,
but rebel at drinking their full
share of milk. Yet those who will
rebel at a serving of ice cream are
few and far betWeen-and ice cream,
by weight, is 80 per cent pure milk
and cream! So, American house
wives reason-with one eye on the
nutrition chart-"I'll make them
eat part of it. And dish of ice
cream will do the trick!'
One of the best things about ice
cream is that you can make it
yourself at home, or you can buy
it ready made, and tuck it away in
the freezing tray of your ice box to
await your pleasure. 1t is always
available, always a treat, and al
ways a source of needed food values.
Roll your own"-or buy it at the
corner store-you've got America S
favorite dessert either way!

Mann a RS
of the
Moment

Now that porters are as scarce
as rubber tires, it seems to me we
ought to begin to learn how to
carry our own bags. OF course,
you always can grip the handle
with your hand and lug. And If
you have four bags instead of two,
the trick is to carry two at time
and make two trips.
But all that seems very primi-
tive. I don't see why we don't take
a tip from our allies, the Chinese,
and start carrying things on poles.
The Chinese have two ways. Either
one man takes the pole and hangs
a bundle from each end of it, bal
ancing the pole on his shoulder :.
or else two people take the pole,
one at each end, and the bundle
balances in the middle. Either way
ought to work, If you are equipped
with pole.

Question Box
By Josephine Lowman

y
I. "Will you please send me some
different ideas to make a party a
success? This particular one is
going to be for a boy who has just
enlisted in the Navy. The party
will be given very soon, in two
weeks, so hurry"
Answer-Sorry to fail you. This
is out of my line, but would have
tried. However, by the time I could
possibly get this answer in print
it would be too late.
q What can be used for clear
white skin? I have heard Of milk
and also lemons. Are rosy cheeks
with lipstick prettier than a white
face and lipstick?"
Answer-A clear white skin re-
quires careful cleansing and lu-
bricating cream only. I imagine
that lemons would be too strong
for it and besides you do not need
a bleach. Milk or cream would be
good. Many smart women use no
rouge but lipstick and eye makeup
only This depends on your skin.
II it has natural glow perhaps
little lipstick alone would be most
becoming. On the other hand, some
women look too white without rouge
and lipstick stands out on the white
face garishly. I would say 60 light
on rouge and use your own judg-
ment as to what is best for you.
8. What sport do you think is
best for the longest time? I just
learned tennis when they said was
too old to play It,"
Answer-Swimming. It can be
tndulged in all your life.

from the maple bed is quite a job,
especially as the spool turnings are
SO difficult, and for this reason I
would not suggest that you try to
ref1nish the maple bed to match the
mahogany. AS it is not fine piece,
1t seems too bad to waste that much
effort on it. think it would be
better to paint the bed, and possibly
decorate it. Select color Cor an

the mahogany beside the bed in

Dear Miss NOVEL;: We wish to put
up a fence around our back yard"
to screen it from the neighbors and
also to make a background for
planting next summer, but we can
not decide what color to paint it.
The house is red brick with white
trim, but as the garden is not seen
from the street, 1t does not seem to
affect it. R.DS.
Answer-A white fence gives a
very neat, trim effect, especially if it
is picket fence, but it is very no.
ticeable and has the effect of max
ing the garden seem smaller and
"hemming you in" With plenty of
space, however, this is very nice. as
the green foliage looks we'll against
1t. Personally, I do not care for
green, as paint" green never seems
to go with foliage" green, and they
clash. Creosote is good for a high
board fence. Its natural brown
seems to blend with the foliage and
tree trunks, it weathers well and
makes a natural-appearing back
ground. AS the creosote treatment
makes the fence last much longer,
1t is a good idea from the practical
angle. If you plan a deep foliage
background, this would be my
choice. If the fence is to be part of
the color plan, it may be painted
frankly blue, blue green or pink and
be very effective.

lately, books written, sewing centers
come into being and women gener-
ally encouraged to learn or relearn
this thrifty art. The stylists, too,
have their own ideas about what you
can do to turn out smart wardrobe
at home, and some Of these sugges-
tions we're passing on to you today.
Many of them are direct steals"
from we'll known designers: others
are original ideas which. may give
you an inspiration all your own.
For example, you can work won-
ders with pockets. You may not use
patch pockets of wool on 4 woolen
suit or dress, that's against WPB
wishes. However, you may use con-
trasting scraps of materials. bits Of
fur, trimming material, crocheted or
knitted string or yarn-all smart
and successful. Then you may
match these with other trimming at
neckline or belt, in cuffs or buttons.
If you're using q short remnant OF
fabric, consider the use of a con-
trasting yoke, maybe a knit or
crochet one. Other yarn bits for In
terest are q crocheted edge on neck
line, sleeves or hem, fringe used In
the same way, or q bib front OF
crochet.
Coordination and ensembling are
important in home sewing, for they
emphasize that handmade look" J."
Along these lines you may have
necklines and hemlines to match,
scalloped, trimmed in applique or
handwork Of any kind, edged in up
holstery fringe or looped wool. Neck
line transformations" suggested by
designer Lyolene, formerly of the
Paris couture and now working in
| New York, should also give you
some hints as to what you may do
with "odds and ends" She shirrs
4 pastel taffeta jabot onto band
which has buttonholes to match the
buttons down the front of the dress
Or makes 4 big fluffy bow of black
velvet for the neckline of q black
dress and attaches it to front
panel with butonholes for your dress
buttons.
Incidentally, you can do amazing
and wonderful things with buttons
old or new. String them on a cord
for bracelet or necklace to match
| the ones on your dress. Cement

The American housewife has al
ways been a fussy buyer of food If
it hasn't been carefully kept in the
store, she doesn't want it. If the
color and freshness aren't up to par,
she shakes her head and shops
somewhere else. -4-~
This fussiness has paid dividends;
for, in many respects, Americans
have long been the worlds best-fed
people. And today, they're being
better fed than ever-in spite of
wartime shortages.
The American housewife, largely
inspired by the national nutrition
program. is becoming increasingly
fussy about the food she serves her
family. She still wants the price
right. She still wants it fresh and
colorful. She still wants it appetiz-
ing. And, in addition, she wants
1t nourishing.
This new attitude toward foods
has resulted in some casualties
among time favorites. Others,
not always so popular, have won
new favor. Still others are in greater
favor. In brief, the American house.

and very little moisture is the secret
Of the whole thing. Do not place
in the sun but on table in an

as possible. Use an up and down
stroke and be sure to overlap suffi-

Sister Refuses

To Ask Best Friend
Should Not Cause
Any Criticism
By Emily Post

Dear Mrs. Post: My sister refuses
to be my maid of honor at my we'd
ding although she is # suitable age.
Consequently have asked my best
friend. What I am worried about is
that the other people may think I
have ignored my own sister and
criticize me for doing so, and this
Is not the truth at all.
Answer: 1t quite often happens
that a bride chooses a best friend
rather than one of hef sisters.
While it does imply that the friend
is more sympathetic about the we'd
ding than the sister, this does not
necessarily cause criticism Of either
the bride or her sister.
Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter
wants to know whether she has to
wear her hat in the dining room at
all times when she is wearing street
clothes. She lives in a hotel; it is
a big hotel also catering to tran
sients.
Answer: Correctly, yes: according
to the fashion of the moment, no.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am a young
woman and work in a Government

The Jervis Bay
By Michael ThWaites. (Put

By Michael Thwaites. put
ndm'S.)
The title poem Of this collec-
ton is a long ballad on an engage
ment between a Nazi sea raider
and the S. S. Jervis Bay, a liner
hastily converted into a war YES
sci and put to convoy duty. The
author uses an old convention for
the framework of his tale - the
raider is the wolf, the convoy the
sheep and the Jervis Bay the sheep
dog. Hopelessly outclassed by the
raider, the valiant ship engages and,
by fighting delaying action until
she sinks, saves her charges from
destruction. The poem is tech
nically well-executed and has
genuine ballad movement in its
marching lines.
Michael Thwaites is lieutenant
in the British Navy. When the war
began, he was just finishing his
work as Rhodes Scholar from
Australia. He had already won the
honor of receiving the Newdigate
Prize for his poem, Milton Blind"
which work is included in his
present volume, along with a num-
ber of his shorter verses. In gen.
eral, he reveals the dilemma of the
whole school of modern poets, a
struggle between the love of beauty
which is the poets inevitable prop
erty and a conviction that his age is
one in which beauty is doomed.

Something has softened Mr.. Cain.
While he's still writing about
racketeers, murderers and loose

of the excitement or rough-house
characterizations of his earlier
books.
The story is of a man and two

Ben Grace is chauffeur for Sol

ates the town as the power behind
the mayors desk. When election
time comes around, Ben rats" on

election, Ben proceeds to run things

It is June's kleptomaniacal sister
Dorothy, who messes things up
when she comes to Lake City.
Naturally, Mr.. Gains characters
are still calling a spade a spade,
but they have lost a certain robust
ness. There are few rather violent
murders, and it's all told in the
authors usual swift, tense style.
There is much detail about the pin
ball machine racket, "bookies" and
houses of ill repute, but, as said,
Mr.. Cain seems to have lost GER
tain punch. He was more likeable
when he was insisting that the post
