men who are ready and willing TO
work on farms as patriotic service
should get into OverallS and go
looking for jobs. Most Of the farm
labor will continue TO be done by
men and women who CuStomarily
do this kind Of work for living"

hands in communities where the
usual sources Of farm labor prove
inadequate, must be carefully
planned and centralized in the local

he added. This auxiliary labor
force of women workers must be
tied in with the regular established
organization for recruiting and
placing farm workers II the women
are TO have a chance TO perform
really useful service"
The Womens Bureau, in endorse
ment OF this position, makes an
excellent point in saying that II
sporadic groups Of women, with
patriotic urge" offer TO do farm
work at less than standard wages,
they will tend to depress the wages
of an already lOw-paid labor group.
In the meantime, Farmer Henry
Lawrence, chairman OF the Column
bia County Agricultural Committee
at Germantown, N. Y, says that
girls are wanted Immediately to
work the farms of those who have
already gone in the service. Farmer
Lawrence says the work is pleasant
but hard, and that no girl who isn't
willing to get up at 3 AM. need
apply.
Must Have Stamina
women are not fitted for heavy
labor on farms, such as blowing and
the working Of large machines, but
for light work, strawberry picking
and cherry picking women should
prove as good as men" Farmer
Lawrence says he prefers college
and high school graduates because
they are easier TO train and easier
to handle. OF course, he adds, they
must have stamina.
That many farmers are preju-
diced against women workers is
hardly to be wondered at. In fact,
many have stated that they prefer
to get along with fewer men, oldyr
ones or under draft age, than trust
women to handle their precious
crops. 1t is pretty generally be-
lieved, however, that even the die
hards will be forced to employ
women.
But here's the rub: the women
willing to work on farms, and not
allowed to do SO, are going to accept
jobs where their ability is well
coined, in factories working on war
orders, which work may not be so
pleasant as farming 49, or am I
wrOng?-but is certainly far more
remunerative.

Dress Is
Smart With
A Yoke
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-There is something
~ about yokes that looks mighty
good TO this generation, probably
because it is the first chance they
have had to wear them. Yokes are
an old story to the older generation,
but they have been absent from
smart scenes for so long that they
really seem ike a new discovery.
Around town these long evenings
you see many girls in dresses that
have contrasting, often white or
flesh color, yOkeS. This is especially
true on the sheer dresses, now out
in amazing array. It's not difficult
to know why-they are designed to
flatter and most of us can do with
bit of flattery after the days work
is over.
Sheer dresses have a rather con-
sistent habit Of being pleated, but
then pleating is used for many OF
the smarter prints too, for 1t does
such tricks with the pattern and
makes for interesting contrast. And
have you noticed how many pleated
or fluted hat brims there are? Both
the Off the-faCe and over-the-faCe
hat is apt to have a pleated brim,
the edge Of which suggests an open
fan.
The saddle or side -draped skirt
now in vogue often has a cascade Of
some sort to accent this line; 1t
may be of self or contrasting fabric,
and it may narrow toward the
waistline and widen at the hem, or
il may be one width the entire
length of the skirt. Very frou-frou
these new skirts, as are those that
have one to five tiers or vertical
frillS outlining the cores.
If you are a laggard about buy
ing and have not supplied yourself
with a sufficient number Of town
costumes. you may find good buys
in silk suits. both MORE. which is
strictly for town, and Shantung,
which is the commuters delight,
being both town and country in
feeling depending on the way it is
cut and on what one wears with It..
Those who like shepherds checks,
which seems > be about everyone,
are enjoying a sort Of field day.

O'Nc,u Produces

A FEW days ago, a night club,
"A which shall be nameless except
to say that its first name is Stork
went through one of those impor-
tant publicity whirls and came out
with New York's Debutante No. ]
of the year. She is Miss Oona
O'Neill, II, daughter of the play
wright. Eugene O'Neill by his for
mer wife, Agnes Boulton. We saw
Coma several times, but that was
before she went TO any StOrk Club
It was in Bermuda in 1881,
That was when OOna was no
more than six. We remember her
and her mother very distinctly
having gone down to Bermuda at
the time ourselves, with $500 in
hand, from the sale Of an option

and happened on Mrs. ONeiu by
chance. We asked her where the
home of our brother playwright
was and, to our surprise, she took
us right in and introduced herself
Coma, then a mere dumping,
seemed to spend most Of her time
being a child. 1t was pretty good
time too, because TO most of us the
world seemed settled, the depreS-
sion was going TO be licked and
there was always going to be lot
of peace for everybody.
We remember distinctly when
Coma deliberately smashed a pop
bottle on the hard coral floor OF her
home. A Bermuda pop bottle is a
wondrouS thing, without a metal
cap. A glass marble rides up and
down in the neck. The gas, forcing
it up, seals it, BY tanning a stick
inside you release the marble and
drink your pop. / remember that
Oona was quite busy smashing bot
ties every time her gentle and gra-
CiouS mother turned her back.
They say that Oona and the run
nerS-up for the great Debutante
contest are going to form some sort
of q useful committee of the night
spot gang, and do war work Of the
charity drive kind. We hope the
children dot will be a very good
thing. It's a long way from the
placid Bermuda she knew. It's a
long way from the Bermuda Of
bikes, tourists, slow-gOing horse
drawn carriages and professionally
British air. The Yanks must be
pretty near the sacred precincts
where once she and the family
lived with guns and tanks.

BEAUTY FOR MORALE

Hollywood, Cal. - There is no
such thing as problems Of beauty
being trivial at this time. On the
contrary, it has never been so i'm
portant.
Morale" is a word on the tip Of
everyOne's tongue. And what Is bet
ter to keep up that morale for both
men and women than a lovely per-
son?
Don't let down on keeping your
self up" is the advice of Brenda
Marshall. Bren d a, whose hus-
band, Bill Holden, is fiier and
ready to do his bit, wouldn't think
Of showing anything but conf
dence, a will to carry on as usual,
and the still beautiful girl that Bill
married.
I'VE have TO keep up the spirits
OF the boys. And we can't do that
unless our own courage is riding
high"
There is nothing so important to
a girls mental state than her out
ward appearance. Stress femininlty
but because of the strain and
pressure of the time, be careful not
to go overheard. Makeup should be
applied with great care, TO achieve
a soft and natural quality. Do not
allow the excitement Of today to be
reflected in bright rOuges, heavy eye
shadows and bright fingernail pol
iSheS.
The essentials Of good grooming
are simple. Remember TO make up
your face and Golf your hair with
an eye TO the total effect. If care is
taken not to point out one particu-
lar feature by OVERRIDING its make
up, you may feel sure that you are
keeping up your end of it..

NEVER MIND SILK

Hollywood, Cal.-AlexiS Smith is
not worried about the stocking stu
alton. She feels we can adjust our
tastes to rayon or cotton stockings
as easily as we can cut down on
sugar.

we'll become so accustomed to them
we won't even think Of them" she
said. LAS a matter of fact, there are
some very nice patterns in these
newer stockings. ! really think that
the cotton lace stockings are actu-
ally glamorous.
"One thing. however, that we
have to pay attention to is the care
of these stockings. We are all so
used TO silks and nylonS drying over
night. But you cannot wash rayon
or cotton stockings at night and
expect TO put them on dry the next
morning. Nor can you dry them
near excessive heat"

for even the incest women.
The trend toward makeup de-
veloped rapidly as a result of the
World War. War was a strain on
the women at home and they tried
to hide their worries beneath pro-
teCtiye mask of color. Tinted face
powder appeared on every dressing
table. along with boxes of rouge. A
few more venturesOme ones even
dared TO add color to their lips,
though they wouldn't admit it.
And Then the Dos
Scarcity of men made COmpeti-
ton kCCnCr and every woman made
a greater effort than ever before to
be attractive. Then. too. as women
replaced men in business and in
duStry, it became necessary that
they look pretty and well groOmcd.
They began to use lipStiCkS openly,
carried COmpaCts in their bags and
renewed makeup in public. They
took a leaf from the beauty books
of movie stars and actresses and
started to do something about their
eyes, too.
Then came the roaring twcn-

Nat our present life is the proper

for no reason any one knows, eX-

Our forefatherS did not live to

a few such as Methuselah who
lived long, but they were excep-
tons. Our civilization has taught
us that many OF our bacterial in

partly under control. The great
difficulty is to discover the actual
cause. We can. by eliminating GER
tain foods, finally find out the
cause or causes.
Another very successful method
is to inject small amounts OF eX-
tracts of the foods in common use
Just under the outer skin. If you
are allergic to that food element,
a red wheal will appear at the
point of injection in a few hours.
Then you may know that that
food can cause your trouble. You
may find a number of foods that
are irritating TO you. but often
only to a slight degree.
Innumerable Allergies
Moreover most OF the effects Of
allergic reactions are not serious
or severe. They are simply diSCom-
forts and many Of these foods can
be eaten in moderation and cause
no definite trouble. Excessive or
ill-chosen indulgence is the source
of trouble in many of the things
we do, eat and drink We advise
all people to get out in the open,
walk in the woods and meadows
and along the streams. If the hay
fever patient does this at certain
seasons, he will be likely to come
home sneezing and coughing.
The many things which cause
irritation to individuals are too
numerous to mention. We all have
heard of those who cannot go
near a rose without sneezing. Even
the sight of good picture Of a
rose may bring on the same re-
suit. That is mental, but many OF
