GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA hART
NEA Service staff Writer

Kiss the glamor girl goodbye at
least for the duration. Uncle Sam is
about to peg the manufacture CT
cosmetics just as he did fashion
and and fabrics. AS a result, the
traditional basic charms Of the
American women-the Well-coifed
head, the pretty dress and the
smart grooming-wi stay but, not
the trappings of the recently fash
ionably overdone smart women.
The new model-an alert, on-her-
toes, refreshing Victory Girl-will
stlll be able to obtain her funda-
mental charm aids, but the variety
of cosmetics and size of the con-
tainers will be limited.
The Toilet Goods Association
just heard flat public forecast. at
its seventh annual convention here
in New York, that a forthcoming
WPA order will peg the manufac-
ture of cosmetics-soon. Wallace
Werble, trade letter editor in
Washington, said the charm aids
will be limited by three groups,
with heaviest restriction on those
which are least essential
VARIETY WILL BE CURTAlLED
efforts will be made to force
production into large size contain
erS,' he said Later on, lines,
shades, minor variations, VII be
curtailed, probably on an itcm-by-
item basis"
Price ceilings will remain, of
course.
Alive Marble, the tennis cham
pion, expressed the give-and- take
spirit that infuSes the new fashion
and the manufacturer and govern
ment war program. She called for
"lipstick for courage as we'll as
yanity"-that America may remain
"the land of the free, the brave
and the beautiful.
Herman L. Brooks, president OF
the Association, which represents
/ about rs percent of the entire in
duStry'S volume, stressed its pre-
paredness to cooperate with Uncle
Sam-and with the American wo-
man. He said alternates already
have found to replace sharply re-
Stricted new materials.

LINDBERGH
MUFFED THE BALL
(William Allen White)

(William Allen White)
If ever this country had hero, it was
Charles A. Lindbergh. He is one of the
most competent mechanics in this cOun-
try And now the American people love
machines and mechanics! But what Col.
Lindbergh knows about politics and inter
national affairs, you could put in your
eye. He is equally ignorant about the
aeronautics of war.
Only year ago Mr.. Lindbergh stood
up in the Hollywood Bowl at a meeting
of the America First committee and spoke
such nonsense as this:
THE area, terrains and the climatic
conditions of Great Britain are not ad-
vantageous for flying. No matter how
many fighting planes we build in Ameri-
ca and send to England, it is pot possible
to base enough squadrons in the British
Isles to equal in striking power the squad
rons that Germany can base on the con-
tinent of Europe"
Events in the last year have disproved
everything he said. This is not greatly
to the discredit of Lindbergh we all talk
too much about things which we merely
wish, guess or suspect are true. Lind
bergh's patriotism cannot be questioned.
But he just didn't know what he was talk
ing about.
He has not been discounted as hero.
His service to aviation and his high char
acter as an American citizen make him
still our No. l, civilian hero. But don't
expect a good commercial aeronautlc
mechanic to know much about war in the
air.

ARMING The WEST

(San Rafael independently
For her part in the amazing achieve
ment of America in becoming a bounti-
full arsenal of democracy California may
lay claim to the title of arsenal of the
Pacific.

plants and workers of this war zone

ly 10 per cent of the $55,84l ,351 900 dis

Californias closest rival, New York,
is three-fourths of billion to her rear; ;
Michigan is working on 50, 100000 in
contracts, Ohio has 1886, 900 0O00-and
after these the serious rivalry fades rap
idly in the roll of states.
1t is matter of pride and honor for
California-and of ill omen for Nippon.
that vast ornaments of planes, guns and
vehicles are being built by Californians

NOW THEY'RE VACATIONS

There haven't been any strikes in the
United States since Pearl Harbor, some
of the more oXhuberant uniOneers assure
us. The federal governments labor agen
cias, a little more conservative, declare
there have been so few strikes as to be
unimportant.
Now we find out why. They're not call
ing them strikes any more. The most
severe term they apply these days is
work stoppage." But mostly, they're
vacations"
Sixty thousand coal miners in three
states walked off the job the other day
because the operators refused to refund
100000 in fines collected when COM
mercial miners struck last November in
sympathy with a strike in captive pits
They stopped work. but they weren't
striking. Oh, no. They were on 10
day vacationl And then, when the oper-
ators agreed to refund the fines, they
"curtailed" their vacation and went
back to work.
Strikes? Of course we don't have any
of them any more.
But, to our way of looking at it, vaca-
tion can do just as much damage to war
production as strike, if it's that kind
of vacation.

clares flatly that our war planes are almost scandalously bad, and another asserts just as assuredly that they are the best in the world. The Army says a flying fortress sank a specific enemy ship, and Naval aviation hero in an officially approved interview says the Arnys land- based planes never sank anything.
 An admiral writes two articles for a national magazine to prove that military aviation should not be made an independ- ent arm, and reserve Army officer is forbidden to express his counter opinion. Wendell Willkie, on a trip around the world on which he is acting as messenger for the President, voices controversial opinions, and the President says that what his agent thinks isn't worth reading.
 We do not suggest that these and other offenders be muzzled. We think they should not. Free speech is one of the things for which we are fighting. All we ask is that men whose words command public attention exercise the minimum of discretion required of the cubbiest of newspaper reporters, and find out the facts before they start talking

Happiness can only in a very small measure be planned for. It grows up unnotlced amid the cir- cumstances which make up our dai- Iy lives. If We cannot be happy where we are. the chances are that we would not be happy anywhere. People often imagine that # they could reach a certain point Of achievement or acquisition they would be happy. and from there they would go on to another point where they would have even more happiness. This Is all part Of the delusIon that happiness comes from reaching planned obJesttves. It doesn't. If we can't set happiness while we are achieving our obJec. tive, we will never find it in the ob. feet we seek.
 Happiness is not something we achieve but something which over" takes us. And the reason why 60 many people are not happy is bee cause they are running SO fast that happiness can't catch up with them. Or perhaps they gre 60 busy seeking the things they think win make them happy that they do not recog- nize reel happiness when they are overtaken by it.

A Thought for Today
Curb the Enthusiasm

We don't know how many people read the article in Wednesday nights Demo- crat about the crusade against Halloween pranks spreading all over the country. It's something to which any community could we'll pay attention. It's true that children are bound to give vent to lot of horse play at this season of the year. Most grown-upS will tolerate it, but ot late years there have been degrees of frolicSomeneSS that have bordered on and even been right in the category of vandalism.
 Waterbury won't tolerate vandalism, particularly during war times. So it cer- tainly behooveS fond mothers and fathers to engage in a little serious talking with their offspring before permitting them to venture forth on Halloween. There should be some attempt to explain the difference between fun and destruction. There should be some effort made to eX- plain why private property must be respected, as well as the rights of others, particularly elderly people.
 We don't anticipate wave of vandal- ism in Waterbury, because we think our boys and girls are pretty well caught up in the war spirit that has the elders ln its grip. But word of caution is never amiss and there is no better time to pass out advice than today. We hope chil- dren and older folks, too, enjoy Hal loWe'en, but let's make it safe and sane observance for all concerned.

Wasn't Always That Way

We were quite interested to hear some Of the remarks credited to Raymond E. Baldwin in his campaigning. One III particular caught our attention. The former sovernor was talking about our state inst sutions and charged Governor Robert A. Hurley with lack of foresight in not planning ways and means of keep ing them operating efficiently when the full effect of the war is felt on our man. power. Somehow or other this seems like late day for the Republicans to be getting so solicitouS about our state institutions.
 They should have done that back ln the days when MT. Baldwin was prom inent legislator and when ex-Governor Wilbur l.. Cross was trying to overcome Republican repugnance to an lnstitu- tional expansion program. Time was when the institutions of Connectlcut mattered little to Republicans and efforts to do something about conditions in them or to provide bigger and better buildings and facilities went unheard.
 Of course Republicans entertain the same opinions as Democrats today about the various institutions. They are moo- ern to the nth degree; their facilities have been brought up to date; their accommo- dations have been steadily increased. Tn this there can be no display of partisan ship. This is a work in which everyone should cooperate. So it would seem 10 us that a claim that Governor Hurley isn't solicitous for the institutions and their well-being in the future is far fetched. We doubt if the governor or any man can say how state institutions, like other places of employment which are not war industries, will be faring wear from now. The labor situation will become more difficult and the state must do the best it can like the rest Of us.

We wonder how many people reacted the same way as this writer did to pic ture which appeared on the sports page of The Democrat last night It showed two hunters and their catch. Taken m the Far West, the scene was typical ot many that are frequently snapped at this time of the year or during the fishing season. Maybe we're prejudiced, but we have always thought that such pictures do do more to turn people against hunting and game stocking than all the good work sportsmen do. Your average man or woman when he or she gets glimpse of all those birds and animals draped over a car or suspended in front of a hunting lodge doesn't think anything about the fact that several hunters may have accounted for the catch or that It may have been spread over weeks time. had been turned loose in the f1elos or woods.

The first attempt to change war tune back to standard time was made in Con, press this week. Representative Harold Knutson of Minnesota has introduced a bill seeking reversion during November, December. January, and February. He maintains that war time works too mucn of a hardship on the farmers during the winter months. Well, if it works hard ship on farmers, it does the same on the thousands of industrial workers scattered through the northern climate. A.

Here Is how the command is di- vided at present:-
 When U. s. forces take the of- fensive against small islands in the Aleutians, the Navy com- mands at sea but gives over com- mand to the Army as soon as the land is seized. However, there may be difficulty in convincing the Naval commander that his command has ended, though the Army chief may be convinced that the time has come for him to take over. Or again the Army con- mander might not think 1t wise to abandon or weaken the defense of an island, whereas the Naval commander might want to move on to another island. Confusion is even more possible when an offensive is undertaken by air.
 At present the Navy is primar- ily in command in Alaska, though the Army has larger forces, pro- vides most of the planes and most of the men in the anti-aircraft. Congressmen returning from AL aska are urging that the system be simplified.

the fact that New Britain boasts Of two candidates for Congress.
 It's war time and candidates tread lightly. They realize that na- tional issues fill the public mind: that John Citizen is more concerned with what Washington will do next than he is with who will run the state. J. c. has the wrong perspec- tive but state candidates can't help 1t if he has been made to think that the state government doesn't amount to much any more.
 This is an important election, des. pite the seeming lack of interest by the electorate. Washington is bound to be influenced by the decisions of the state balioteers. especially in the selection of congressman. Every vote counts. as usual. and 1t is more necessary than eyer to have efii. ciency In state government, paTtic- uiarly when the war spending will be on a scale to necessitate stEicl frugality in state affairs.
