Xearning for Adventure,
Patriotism, Young Girls
Seek Enlistment in WAVES
By Lisbeh SoHing.

Patriotism, yearning for ad-
venture and a desire to do tech
nical work are often combined
in the motives which make
young girls join the WAVES as
enlisted personnel, according to
officials of the Office of Naval
Officer Procurement at 1920 G
street, the local recruiting sta
ton for women in the Navy.
Il feel it Is my duty toward
my country" was the explana-
ton given by one young girl. Il
have three sisters and one BROTH
er. The boy is youngster, but
if my sisters had been boys,
they would all have been in serv-
ice now. So I figured that one
of us at least ought to serve,
even if we are girls"
Her father fought with the
AEF in France during the last
war and was gassed, but al
though he maintains that there
is nothing like Army life" he
supports his daughter in her en-
terprise. My mother thinks it is
all right, too" the girl said.
In civilian life she was a sales
clerk and in the Navy she will be
a storekeeper, if she meets all
the requirements for enlistment.
A woman in her early thirties
whose application for enlistment
has been accepted, has seven
brothers and five sisters. She
has been living away from her
home since before high school
days. Il think 1t Is the right
thing to do," she says. "I feel
also that my service in the Wom-
ems Reserve will be a real edu-
cation and will be a big help
for me afterward. I think an
Army or Navy commission is more
useful than anything else later
on in life"
They are all very sincere"
says Ensign Elizabeth Leighton,
WAVES recruiting officer. Most
of the girls are working at $3.50
to o'clock jobs where there is
no need for doing overtime. They
feel that when the country is at
war, they should at least be do
ing work important enough so
that 1t will be necessary to work
after hours or work in shifts.
They don't want business as US
ual.' In their $50 to 5 o'clock
jobs they have a feeling of frus-
tration. They are restless and
discontented. Naval service Of
fers them way to satisfy this
yearning.
Proof of their sincerity Is the
fact that many of them will be
doing exactly the same work in
the Women's Reserve as they do
today in civilian life or in Gov
ernment departments. But they

from the Procurement Once ask
ing her to wait another year and
then apply again. She wrote
back and thanked them for their
reply, saying she "wept with
appreciation" when she received
1t. Many women are so i'm
patiently intent on joining the
WAVES, that although they
possess the minimum require
ments for appointment as officer
candidates, they do not want to
wait for such an opening, but
choose instead to apply for i'm
mediate induction in an enlisted
status. Many applicants are in
terested in technical work and
one highly educated woman
didn't care whether she became
an officer or enlisted seaman, as
long as she could be a radio
technician.
Romance in the armed forces
has its complications, too, it
seems. One day a sailor inter-
rogated Ensign Leighton at great
length about requirements for
an officer candidate In the
Women's Reserve. He was happy
and much relieved when he
learned that his girl friend, who
wants to join, would have to be
inducted as an enlisted candidate.
Naval etiquette disapproves of a
woman officer dating" a sailor.

Fresh Fruits
Ideal For That
Quickie Meal
BY IDA BAILEY ALLEN

THERE are, in Louisville, in In

IN Louisville, wouldn't you haz-

puffy berry mullins served piping
hot. The fruit platter itself is
based on lettuce leaves, and ar
ranged on these in sections are ice

usually hot. and always strong and

of fruit platter, berry mullins and
hot coffee is excellent.

There are nests of tender lettuce
leaves, each filled with seasonable

Loss Of Five Or Six
Pounds MonthIyLimit
Mid Section
Trimming Is
Delicate Job
BY HELEN JAMESON
distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

No matter what the trends Of
fashion may be, the woman who
has expanded amidships, whose
hips are little roofs and whose tunl-
my forms shelf has her troubles.
She may have been slender in her
young days, never dreamed that
she would join the scale crushers.
The tonnage crept up on her and
she did not take herself in hand soon
enough She may have been keen
about the good things that the gro
GERS boy brought it, not keen about
exercise. Instead of burning UP her
calories, she slowed them away in
the form of adipose tissue.
She needs sympathy, not scold-
ings. When she heroically climbs
up on the diet wagon, family and
friends should make every possible
effort to help her stay there even
though the riding may be rough
There's always someone holding the
chocolate cake before her eyes, say
ing Just this once. Take little
bit" 1t won't do. Cake contains
everything she shouldn't have
sweets, Starches and fats.
REDUCE SLOWLY
The middle-aged plumpies must
reduce slowly, depending more up
on the restricted diet than on ex-
ercise, because strenuous effort may
be a tax upon the heart. Rapid re-
duciIg is mistake at any rate.
The loss Of five or six pounds
month should be the limit, A great
er deletion is likely to soften the
facial fiberS and cause wrinkles to
form.
Fat is more likely to form in the
mid-section than elsewhere because
the torso gets less exercise than the
arms or legs. With increase OF
measurement the inclination to
move quickly is even weaker. Mus
Giles become flabby, are the perfect
tenements for fat cells.
At sanitariums where weight
reducing goes merrily on, the five
mile walk is the hard and fast
rule. No sauntering permitted. One
begins with mile, increases the
distance each day. Breathing must
be free and deep Steps must be
regular and brisk, with chest lifted,
arms swinging.
Light gym work is part of the
ritual. An excellent exercise, and
one that strengthens the muscles, is
to lie on the back on the floor, toes
under a heavy piece of furniture,
lifting the upper portion of the body
to sitting position without using the
hands.
DIET RULES SIMPLE
Diet rules are simple enough to
remember. Keep fats, sweets and
starches down to the limit The
woman with a sweet tooth can get
away with an astonishing amount of
sugar, even these days. She uses
it in tea and coffee to excess. BY
taking these beverages clear she will
help herself along the road to will
lowyness.
No butter on the bread No cream
in anything. Plenty of good chow
remains-lean meat, fowl, fish, veg
etableS that grow above ground,
creme salads, fruits, fruit juices,
eggs.

For in the summer, woman dresses

and nerves are usually broken in
in the process.
Change shoes often and ali

how people who are faStidious

about shoes which soil too, and need
care and cleaning for health and
beauty's sake. Have shoes repaired
as soon as they need it, and be-
ware of that special walking hazard,

You know what lift you can get
from a successful visit to the hair
dresser, or a look into the mirror
when your complexion seems par
ticularly clear and blooming? You
can get the same thrill of satisfac-
ton from a pair of carefully nur-
tured feet for a minimum of time
and trouble Here is how:
MASSAGE FEET
At night when you have finished
your daily tasks Or after your bath
massage your feet thoroughly with
ordinary cold cream From the
ankle down, work your toes to
stimulate the blood circulation, and
knead the instep and balls of the
feet with vigor and determination
With decent treatment and regular
care, there is no reason why your
feet, in time, cannot have that we'll
groomed appearance of a lovely
woman's decorative hands.
Neither is there any reason why
the toenailS, usually so neglected
cannot be as ornamental as the
fingernails of a cultural woman
Allowing them to become discolored
and misShapen because they are not
always on public view, is as sloven-
ly as housewives sweeping under
the rug. Push back the cut!cle
yourself, with cuticle oil which is
obtainable at any toilet counter.
FILE NAILS STRAIGHT
File the nails straight across, Cut
off the calloused places, and apply
polish. This should be the same
shade as the polish you use on your
fingernails, or the clear, colorless
enamel that acts as protection
Change the polish often. Clipped
and broken enamel is pretentious
bad taste.
In hot weather with it's perspira-
ton and insect pests, feet should
be regularly treated to disinfectants
and deodorants applied in required
solutions. Wipe the feet we'll after
their massage, and use Stearate OF
zinc powder to dry them completely
AS often as possible, allow access
OF free air. And if you can go back
