1t proved to be Senator Charles
McNary of Oregon, entertaining his
little adopted daughter.
Come on, wake up, Rhino,' said
the distinguished Senator.
1t wasn't a rhinocercs, but the
name was effective, for the hippo
raised its head out of the water,
opened its mammoth jaws and
begged for food.
The little girl threw a peanut
but it hit the hippo's teeth and
bounced off. So Senator McNary

Mrs. America
Meets the War

Mrs. America, roll up your sleeves
and rally to the home fronts our
rent battle cry - the rubber salvage
campaign, Patriotic housekeeping
means routing out every ounce of
rubber scrap from the cellar to the
attic of yor home. Remember no
bit of rubber it too small, too worn
or too old for you to take to your
neighborhood filling station for the
rubber salvage collection You will
receive penny per pound of re-
claimable rubber. Look around your
kitchen for old rubber gloves, aprons
sink shoppers or preserve jar rings.
ANY old shower caps, soap dishes,
drain plugs, rubber sponges, hot
water bottle or ice bags today? Even
the tiny rubber bulbs from troopers
in the medicine chest are worth re-
claiming And rubber hair curriers',
girdles and combs are on the list
Even the nursery can contribute ba-
by pants, nipples, teething rings and
toys.
War is war but there in one part
of the carriage trade that expects to

junior. From August first on, iron
steel, gold, and silver are the only
metals which may be used. But here
is an idea of the restriction placed on
the use of iron and steel for these
nursery world products. During an
ordinary year the baby carriage in
dustry used Ia 900 tons of steel. AT
ter the WBP order goes into effect

put out with only 5000 tons of

turn of the wooden pail and tub in
place Of metal articles. Pals or tubs
that contain metal only in hoops,
balls, ears and handles not exceed

are not to be restricted However,
those of all metal aren't so favored

The increased idleness ahead for
the can opener means you'll be
teaching your family to rely upon
fresh vegetables and fruits rather
than in food from cans. Eating fresh
fruits and vegetables when they are
in season saves canned dried and
preserved products for use when
fresh foods are not SO easily avail
able. Also, there are the points OF
saving money by buying fruits and
vegetables when they're cheapest and
helping cut down on the waste Of
these products. Most important is

all possible tin for war The tin con-
tent in one can is enough to provide
the tin required for two Army COM
passes. Incidentally, on the subject
of fresh fruits and vegetables, the
use of locally grown products will
cut down the loads on railways and
truck systems.

your summer shoes to prevent them
from becoming to heavily coated.
Smooth leather shoes may be wiped
with damp cloth the second time.
And spots on white suede or buck
shoes can be removed by rubbing
them with French chalk wrapped in
a cheesecloth. What has care of
white shoes to do with the war?
Simply, that bleaching chemicals
needed for the manufacture of white
leather are scarce because of war
use, and as you know leather of all
