best pitchers, Ray Pfim, t~fore he
was relieved in the eighth inning
after giving up three runs on seven
solid hits. His successor, Jess Dob

more tallies in the final frame.
The second-place Sacramento
Solons finally halted the San Diego
Padres, 81, after losing the first
three encounters of the series. The
Solons got two tallies in the third
to clinch the contest with Eddie

the Braves and Phils-soft-
est opposition the National
league has to offer for the Dodgers
locked like a possible cushion
against a probable Brooklyn slump
but the picture was not so pleasant
today.
The cards have fortified them
selves against total collapse in face
of a Brooklyn runaway with the
prospect of a long overdue Dodgers

1t may not be so easy at that,
though, for the Braves sprang a

Routine Care
Keeps Hands
Beautiful
BY DONNA GRACE

PRETTY HANDS now en-
gagged In war work must be kept
lovely. It may be discouraging
to feel that only by great care
can this hand beauty be pre-
served but every girl knows the
value OF attractive hands and is
willing to do her best to use pro-
tective methods and treatments.
The following will be a few
suggestions for this new hand
care. We must realize the best
protector is cleanliness. This
means removing CRIME and stain
SO IL will not continue to irritate
the skin.
Wear Gloves
When possible, one should
wear gloves, there may be Ger
tain work demanding use Of
sensitive fingertips, but when we
know OF the delicate operations
performed by surgeons wearing
gloves, we believe IL may be pos
sibie for every one to learn 20
work and find gloves no handi-
cap.
Even thin cotton gloves will
offer great protection to the skin
and at the same time permit
tree movement.
Soap and water is still the
best means Of cleansing the skin
and during the past few months
special soap has been made for
this new hand care. Some gray
soaps made with special for
mulas are said 10 cleanse thor
oughly and keep the skin refined
and soft.
These gray toned soaps work
into a white lather and pene-
trate pores and rough surfaces.
Oils and creams should be used
TO remove dust between the soap
and water cleansing.

WartimeW Wife
An Amazing
Combination
BY HELEN ROWLAND

IF YOU can't contact your
wife at ona of her first-aid
classes or her knitting units,
you will probably find her at the
beauty parlor. getting q facial,
like a dutiful wife.
It is amazing how much a
woman can accomplish and still
keep herself smart and beautiful
and no threatened shortage of
cosmetics will stop her!
DON'T GIVE me that old
argument that a dutiful wife
would be at home baking and
darning and getting dinner.
Where have you been for the
last 20 years. Baking and darn
ing were the luxuries Of the old
fashioned woman.
A woman had only to be a
mans cook and his consolation,
in those days; the wife, job was
a cinch. Now, a wife must be
an entity, a mental companion.
a bridge partner, a chauffeur,
and sometimes a yoke-mate. All
this and an eyeful. too.
AND BEING an eyeful Is
probably the hardest work of all.
You don't suppose any woman
actually enjoys being slapped.
baked. par-boiled and run
through a wringer in a beauty
shoppe. do your Being beauti-
full is harder than being good.
It's a dogs life. But beauty is
no longer a luxury. it's an abso-
lutte necessity.
The old fashioned wife could
Toll around after the dishes were
washed and MUNICH chocolates
and grow lat. comfortably.
BUT NOWADAYS a man
doesn't close his eyes when he
puts on the wedding ring: and
a woman has to be on her toes
to hold her own with all the
beautiful. snappy, efficient young
women around her.
He demands that she be an
expert in a dozen things. He
wants a wife who plays his
games, follows his dance steps,
understands his work and his
lingo, and mixes beauty with her
brains.
That's why II Is so amazing TO
me that a woman has time and
the energy to accomplish all the
things that women war workers
are accomplishing. Because just
being a wife I'm these days is a
combination Of art, science.
drudgery and legerdemain. War
time wives are wonders.
