The Defense Digest of the State of
N. Y. says that aluminium collected
by housewives during the drive has
been sold or is being sold by the
Treasury Dept. to % smelters selected
because their entire production is di-
rected by OPM to defense. The alum
mum ingots resulting from the pots
and pans are sold to the Metals Re-
serve Co., a subsidiary of the RFC
and then sold under the supervision
of the Aluminium and Magnesium
Branch, OPM.
Twenty per cent of such ingots are
98 per cent plus and go directly into
planes, 25 per cent is for castings for
engines, and the remainder is used
for steel mill operations for deoxidiz-
ing, process for which aluminium
must be used and which frees virgin
aluminium for bombers.

ever you convert something old into
something new and smart? In keep
ing with the feeling of conservation

loosely in two places. Then wash by
dipping in lukewarm soap suds. Dip
the wool gently up and down in the
warm suds, until it is perfectly clean,

flat on a covered surface in warm
room. When completely dry the wool

as new. Wind into balls and you are
ready to knit beautiful new pull
over, or cardigan in one of the new
est, smartest styles.

Everybody has gone "mad-cap"
over beanies. And these smirky, gay,
neat little skull caps are not gadgets
that one can plunk on any way or
find anywhere. To look ship-shape
they must be fitted to the Nth de-
gree and they are mighty fetching
fashion over wind swept curls or the
most sophisticated hair do. You can't
be without one to wear with your
sweater, your fur coat, or your bath
ing suit!

high fashion in resort clothes. Hus-

to dress like twins this year. SO get
your hubby's tailor to turn you out a
sport coat or pair Of slacks exactly
like the one worn by the head Of the
house and watch the admirng glances
you'll get.

into popularity after having been ne
elected for the past few seasons. An
effective afternoon dress | saw com
bines knitting with inserts Of pleated
taffeta ribbon simply made with but
tons down the waist to the hipline

and evening dresses lace yarn is both
fetching and warm when the wind
blows!
