dians or adults must make applica-
ton for the sugar books which
will be issued for each member
of the family regardless of age.
Individual persons, not attached
to family groups, also will be re-
quired to register.
While registering for the ration
books each person must declare
the amount of sugar on hand with
in the homes that an absolute
equal distribution of sugar may
be obtained.
Sugar sales throughout the ma
ton were abruptly stopped Mon

tion books have been issued.
Books of rationing stamps for
individual consumers will operate
this way:
The first stamp will permit the
purchase of one pound of sugar
in the period May 5 to May 16;
the second will be valid for the
May II to May 80 period; the
third for May 81 to June 13, and
the fourth for June IA to June 27.
The amount allowed for each
stamp after June 27 will be an
nounced later.

pared to gige the name. age,

quirements for No. on paper

with the slack-clad civilians looked
as though they might have rushed
to the hotel straight from a geology
field trip without even brushing
their sweaters or changing their
socks-and-mocs.
Now. we realize that neatness Is
military must, and that young
fellows in the armed services have
their clothes prescribed by regula-
tons. So perhaps they don't deserve
any particular credit for making a
good appearance-they simply have
to, or else. Nevertheless. most boys
seem to be able to meet the military
requirements along these lines with
out suffering too much strain. And
II they can dress suitably and neatly
when they have to, we see no rea-
son why they can't do 1t when
there's no compulsion.
Good-looking, well-kept uniforms
are important to the morale of
fighting men, as the military au-
thorities well know. And we have
q sneaking suspicion that civilian
sloppiness also has an important
connection with civilian morale. In
fact, the casual. careless clothes of
recent years are very accurate
reflection of the $50 what?" state
of mind which characterized the
Nation up until the day the Japs
dropped in on Pearl Harbor.
For that reason It's high time for
you fellows and girls to be giving
q serious thought to your own dress

How to Seat
Guests at
Dinner
By Emily Post
By Emily Post

AS most OF my readers know, an
even number Of men and women
to be seated at table is seated alter
nately-even when their number is
8 or II, In which case the host
ess gives her own, place to a. man.
while her husband keeps his. To-
day comes the somewhat different
question of how to seat five women
and three men. My reader ex-
plains:
I'm this ease I keep my, own
place, but 1t seats me between two
men. while each of my woman
guests is seated between one man
and one woman. The whole plan
is woman on either side of my
husband, another woman next to
both of these, one man next to each
woman, and then I sit between the
two men.
II wonder whether I should move
around to the side to give an espe-
cially attractive woman my place
between the two men2 Or Is 1t best
that I keep my place? Another
puzzling question concerns my sis
ter. who Is a widow. How should
she seat two men and four women2
If the men are seated next to her
1t leaves the woman opposite her
sitting between two other women
which does not seem very polite"
Her seating of eight is right. Her
sisters table of six will be better
divided by putting one man on her
own right, then two women, then
the other man, then the third wom-
an next to herself.

Way
To Remove
Don't Let Powder
And Rouge Clog
Pores of Skin
BY Patricia Lindsay

Much has been written OF how TO
apply makeup cleverly but seldom
are we instructed on how to remove
old makeup and CRIME properly.
Yet old rouge and powder are as
injurious to the skin as is CRIME
from the air or other foreign dirt.
Any substance which Is permit
ted to clog the pores and interfere
with their duty of secreting body
wastes robs skin Of the beauty 1t
should have.
II you use mascara. shadow and
brow pencil, remove those first.
Close the eyes tight. apply cream
or eye oil to the lashes and brows,
wipe it of and then wash with
clear water and clean face cloth.
Next give the face generous ap-
plication OF your favorite cleansing
cream or lotion-the latter applied
with fresh cotton. Remove it at
once. Apply a second spreading,
massage the face and neck and
chin for a while and then remove
all with clean tissue. This step
is followed by saturating fresh cot
ton with skin tonic df you use one)
and briskly wiping the skin clean
of all cream residue-use upward
and outward strokes to keep the
face muscles lifted.
If you desire. however, the skin
may be washed with warm water
and soap suds. after the cream or
lotion cleansing, and rinsed thor
oughly with alternate hot and cold
water splashings. And do not for
get that your ears, and IN back OF
them, need washing tool

your lips apply more cream "a
richer one If wou wish) and mas
sage the lips well This should re-
move all trace OF color. Then use
camphor ice, an antiseptic lipstick,
or healing lotion and leave it on
overnight.
Then I suggest few little tricks
which assure greater beauty. Take
another fresh piece of cotton. wet
it with your corrective scalp tonic
and rub around your hair line
thoroughly-front and back. Every
bit of powder, dust and cream should
be removed.
Now for an eye washing with a
few drops of boric acid solution or
a reliable prepared eye lotion. Each
eye gets fresh solution and rinse
the eyecup after using each time.
You do not want to carry any pos
sible, existing infection from one

Abandoned Animals
Increasing With
House Razing
By Betsy CaSWeH,
womsns News Editor.

WOmtn NeNt EQltof.
Last Sunday ushered In q period
that is OF intense interest TO all
animal lovers-s week dedicated to
the care and protection of animals.
With all the demands upon our
sympathies. and time. and money
ported that the animals within our
gates-and too often locked outside
them-ere being showed into the
background of public conscience.
This Is. of course. understandable
In the grim world that now con-
fronts us all. But 1t would not take
too much of our time to remember
the needs Of our dumb friends
especially as the organizations
formed for their care and protec-
ton are still valiantly keeping up
with their job.
They ask our cooperation in
this-and certainly 1t would not
take too much time from our busiest
day to pick up a telephone and re-
port that stray cat seen meowing
pitifully around the neighbor's gar
bage pail. or the poor, hunger
crazed cur that fell down over and
over again from weakness when the
boys next door chased him from
their yard. Just q minute or two
to dial a number. report the cir
cumstance, and we can go on our
way feeling q warm glow In the
region we are pleased to call our
heart, secure in the knowledge that
the homeless, frightened and hun
CRY creature viii be cared for with
kindness and understanding.
With the demolition of so many
old buildings in Washington and
the razing of whole sections of slum
houses all ever the city, the num-
Der of abandoned and stray ami
mails has increased enormously.
The organizations set up for their
handling find their facilities taxed
to the utmost. They are doing a
wonderful work by themselves in
seeking out and finding these poor
waits, but our assistance will tighten
their task immeasurely and extend
1t far beyond its present limits OF
usefulness.
Hot weather Is Just around the
corner and with 1t will come still
further trials and tribulations for
stray dogs and cats. Thirst will en-
ter the picture and there Is always
the dread specter of rabies to rear
It's ugly head. Too many animals
have been destroyed unnecessarily
when the cry Mad dog!" has
gone up from a crowd watching a
thirst-crazed creatures struggles
with prompt attention and care the
animal could have been restored to
health and happy home found for
it with sympathetic people.
Reporting stray animals, then, is
very definite duty for us all.
Trained workers will attend TO the
subsequent procedure. but 1t will
be our part to enable them to ad-
minister the kindness that is the
fundamental reason for their or
ganizations.
