YourHairN

BY MARIE DOWNING

We went shopping for a new hat

an infeliority complex because
of our hair. For fashion DEGREES
that milady's hair should serve a
double purpose. More than just a
becoming frame for the face, to-

We found that the unswept coil

that neat, sleek look to the head

And since it was decided that our

In The dress picture, we decided to
make it worthy of that role. Sc
we colorod it from its drag. streak

brown and presto, that feeling
of inferiority vanished. And now
we were set to brave the miIliners.
FEE is HANDSOME
One of the most interesting new

AS a reaction from the bare

CAN HELP ENFORCEMENT


This time it will be easy for the
housewife to share in price con-
troll enforcement All she has to
do is sit down with pencil and
paper and check back over her
grocery bills and sales receipts for
September % to October 2, to find
out the prices asked for certain
foods during the five-day base
period. Ncighbors probably can
supply her with information on
the items missing from her list.
Store advertisements and circulars
will be another help.
But don't check price alone, Mr..
Henderson warns. Watch quality
and quantity as well. If conrmeal
came in a 11-2 pound package
before, you should get the same
weight for the same price today. If
Grade A eggs sold for certain
price, make sure you are not re-
cleiving lower grade for that
price. Write down as many facts
as possible on the size, weight and
ollality of the foods, and whether
they were sold packaged or loose,
since this makes a difference in
the ceiling. Many cans, food
packages and cuts Of meat carry
grades or labels giving irforma
ton on quality or quantity.
Once the list is complete, take
it with you when you go market
ing. The wise houseWife-the one
wi,o wants to keep within the
family budget now and later-will
refuse to pay more than the ceiling
price for anything.
Here are some points to remem-
Der: Every store has its own cell

ever that store was charging dur
ing the five-day base period, And
every store is permitted to go be-
low it's ceiling price. although ii
cannot go above. You can still

CONTROL FOOD PRICES
Placing of these latest ceilings

which go into the market basket

foods in this group are those which
have been adding substantially to

been costing 10 cents more on

The Office of Price Administration

the District.
Quotas for Maryland and Vir-

OPA stated also that in the future

as this smaller number was supple

Withdrawal Of all unused quota
from the field, it was explained, will
not have restrictive influence on

Medical Society Asks
Action on Hospitals;
'Mudd|ing' Charged
Editorial in Annals
Coils for Steps Now
To Provide More Beds

Charging that there has been too
much "muddling" in efforts to solve
the hospital problem in Washington,
the District Medical Society, in an
editorial in its current Medical
Annals, today called for prompt
and decisive action"
Although the shortage Of hospi-
tai beds in the District of Columbia
has been alarmingly acute for the
last two years." declared the edi-
torial, mo solution is yet in sight.
Conferences. surveys and Discus
sions have followed one another
round and round; but to date they
have produced no visible results"
One hospital executive was quoted
by the editorial as saying that vol
untary hospitals in Washington
were "in an impossible situation"
adding that he placed the blame
on public officials, who, he contend
ed, were "unrealistic II not worse"
Investigatiens 9Tr1eed.
Investigations Of various kinds
into the hospital bed shortage were
traced by the editorial as far back
as 1910, when Health Security Ad-
ministration first called attention to
the situation.
After reviewing many different
developments both among private
and public agencies, the editorial
declared:
ut is apparent that underneath
all of the moves which have been
made by various groups there have
been differences of opinion, selfish
ness and politics. It is high time
that a stop be put to this sort of
thing. If the District Commits
sioners and the Government
agencies are seriously desirous of
providing the necessary hospital
beds, they should act promptly with
the aid and guidance of hospital
authorities.
Physicians have a vital interest
in this problem because the well
fare of their patients depends upon
the adequacy of local hospitals.
Wartime Washington can i'll afford
the muddling which has been going
on, in regard to hospitals, and
prompt and decisive action is called
for"
McCarran Seeks Survey.
Among the latest developments
is survey Of local hospitals re-
quested by Chairman McCarran of
the Senate District Committee to
determine whether the District may
need more than the $50 hospital
beds recommended by a recent Fed
eral Works Agency
In a report from FWA to the
Senator, 1t was pointed out that
scarcity of critical materials had
made it necessary to reduce esti-
mates given to congressional COM
mittees earlier in the year indi-
eating a need for l,700 hospital
beds for the Metropolitan Area, 800
OF which were to have been in the

the shortage. laid by school officials
primarily to low salaries offered by

them might be qualified for the

Four elementary schools, housing
300 students each, have no one at
all to run their heating plants, and
nine other schools face serious un-
derstafing. In addition, at least 13
schools have been forced to employ
unlicensed engineers to operate
heating plants originally intended to
