Mothers Are Facing
Compulsory War Aid

Even the mothers In Britain may
be compelled to do war work. The
decision, as well as other decisions
affecting married women, is up to
the cabinet In London, which will
do the explaining to Parliament.
To call up for the services any
married women would require an
amendment to the National Service
Act. The cabinet is trying to make
up its mind whether to send mar
ried women away from home as
mobile war workers.
They may also, the younger of
them at least, be made liable for
conscription into the women's
services. II all married childless
women who are fit were sent into
the services or industry the demand
for workers would still not be met
and that is why mothers may be
conscripted.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MfLLETT

Three -year-old Sharon Derer OF
Chicago. whose mother has kept
strict account of every cent spent
on her since she was born cost her
parents more this last year than
the year before. Like almost every
thing else-babies do cost more in
wartime and not just from a finan-
cial point of view, either.
In cases where Papa gets JOB
in a crowded defense area, the cost
of a baby often includes temporary
war-enforced separation between
his parents. Mama could go with
Papa and make the best of living
conditions. But it would be hard on
Junior-so he and Mama often have
to live in one town, and Papa in
another.
Or, if Papa goes into one of the
services-there's the same problem
Mama could pack up her things
and go along with him, as long as
he is stationed in this country. But
Junior makes it difficult for Mama
to trail soldier, sailor or marine
around the country.

MODERN MENUS

Eggs: Wipe eff soiled spots on eggs
with a dry, rough cloth. But don't
wash eggs before storing. Water
destroys the protective film that
keeps out air and odors. Store
eggs in open bowl or wire basket in
cool place.
onions and potatoes: dry cool
blackout suits them both, but avoid
freezing.
Sea food: fish and all other sea
food spoil in a few hours at room
temperature Cook at once, or
wrap in wax paper to keep odor
from other foods. Keep very cold
TRICKY SCRAMBLED EGGS
A little sausage or bacon left
over from breakfast? Crisp it,,
crumble it, and add it to scrambled
eggs just before it achieves its
creamy fluffiness. Minced ham or
potted luncheon meat is tricky, too.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-02
BIG PROBLEM LOOMS
If DAD is DRAFTED

Junior costs lot in worry these
days, too. When Papa reads that
married men may soon be needed
in the army, he can't help but wor-
ry about leaving Mama to face
alone the responsibility of looking
after the kids.
And, if Junior arrives after Papa
has been sent to another country
he costs both parents at least dou-
BILE the usual worry and concern.
The war has added to the cost
Of bringing up a baby, all right
But, fortunately, parents don't think
the cost is too high.
They worry, and struggle and plan
so as to do the best they can for
their children when war conditions
make living more and more compli-
Gated every day
But it never occurs to them that
they are being asked to pay too
much for their families.

BLACK MARKETS

(Riverside Daily Press
The term "black market which we are
hearing so much about these days, Is
English, and now seems to be coming into
use in this country 1t signifies the pur-
chase and sale of materials of any kind
which although not necessarily unlaW-
full, are unethical and unsportsmanllke.
Such methods represent the efforts of
people, in business transactions or private
trade, to sneak advantages for themselves
instead af abiding by the rules and under
standings of square dealing.
There have always been such people
and there always will be. But in these
times a special effort should be made,
all along the line, not to seek such ad-
vantages over friends, neighbors and bus
mess associates, but to acquiesce in the
fair division of whatever there is to di
vide, like people at sea and in the same
boat.
In other words, more literal observ-
ance of the Golden Rule would be the
death knell to the practices which are
dominant in the so-called "black market

much as they wished and suggested
they store it indefinitely until ships
were available to bring it to the

sessions were lifted to permit the

INITIATION CAN'T WAIT
BUT THE OTHER 7 WILL
(OroVille Mercury

(OroNllle Mercury
If we could advance time by merely
turning two leaves of the calendar we
would do so for then the November elec-
tionS would be over, and the United States
could proceed.
1t could proceed to do something un-
popular but necessary about the rubber
shortage 1t could do something unpopu-
lar but necessary about drafting young
er men into the army and navy. 1t could
begin to play the game of price fixing
without two deuceS wild.
As a matter of fact, it is about decided
that action against initiation can't wait
until the sacred congressman have been
reelected. The President, by executive
action, is going to do all he dareS to do to
curb prices of farm products and stop
the upward spiral of wages following
talk to us on September I.
But rubber and the draft of younger
men apparently can wait and will They
are too hot for the President.
Meanwhile, between now and the cleo
ton. talk will continue to gather volume
on those two subjects. Congressman who
won in the primary will give voice to the
necessity of action, and this will be back
ed by appontees who don't have to go
to the people. So, the country will be
prepared for action very shortly after
the election. We can get some amuSe-
ment out of watching this procedure, but
it has its tragic side also.

RURAL TAX PLAN
BEING CONSIDERED

Apparently Congress is giving some
consideration to the revolutionary income
tax plan suggested by Beardsley Ruml,
treasurer of a large New York depart
ment store, chairman of Nthe Federal IL
serve Bank of New York and adviser to
the National Resources Planning Board.
In that event, the q millions who will
pay an income tax next year should get
busy and let Congress know what they
think of the idea.
What do they think of it? We don't
know. But we believe that the more the
public considers the plan, the strongeg
will be the pressure on Congress to ac-
cept Mr.. Ruml's suggestion.
What this experienced financier pro-
poses, in brief is that the Treasury dis
card the fiction that taxes paid in any
one year are on the earnings of the pre-
vious year.
In a hypothetical case, here is how it
would work:
Mr.. John O. Public in 1912 will earn
a total of $500. Under the present syS-
TEN, next March Is he must try to pay
an income tax on that salary. But next
year he will be in the army, drawing $50
a month or a total of 5000.
Unless he is one of a small minority,
he has not saved this year the money
with which to pay the tax next March.
He intended to pay it out of 1943 earn
ings. Obviously he will not be able to do
that.
So Mr. Ruml proposes that the tax
paid by Mr.. Public next March be con-
sidered as on his 1943 income. He will
have to pay tax measured by the $500
he earned this year But, knowing that
he will be in line for a refund at the end
of the year, at worst he can borrow the
necessary sum.
On the other hand, consider Mr.. J. P.
Rich, whose company is doing big war
business and unlike most such, is in
creasing its profit. Mr. Rich this year
will make only S35 900. Next March Is
he will pay tax on that amount. The
next year, 1943, he is going to make $50,
600. If Mr. Ruml's plan is adopted, Rich
won't escape with the tax on 5000 in
a year in which he made $4,000
When Rich pays on March Is, 1914, he
will fork over the amount established
by the $4,000 he made in 1943, plus a
tax on the extra $4,000 on which he did
not pay in 1943.
In other words, the tax each year would
be measured tentatively by the past years
earnings.
If with this Is combined withhold
ing tax after next Jan. l, then nobody IN
the working class brackets would have
to worry about where to find the money
to pay his income tax Most Of it already
would have been paid out of earnings.

Here are some pointers issued by
the Bureau of Home Economics to
prevent food waste:
Milk: Don't let milk stand out.
Keep it in the colder part of the
refrigerator. When cooking, take
out only milk and cream needed
and let the rest stay cold. Don't
pour leftover milk back into the
main supply. Put away milk the
first thing after each meal. Keep
odorous foods-fish, onions, cab
bage, melons, etc, away from milk.
Use suds and sun on all milk con-
tanners. Scald often.
Store dried milk in the refrig-
orator for better keeping. Also
opened cans of evaporated and con-
densed milk.
MONDAYS MENU
BEAKFAST: Sliced peaches, oat-
meal, enriched toast, coffee, milk.
LUNCHEON: Creamed leftover
vegetables in toast baskets, hard
enriched rolls, Stewed plums, cook
les, tea, milk.
DINNER: Corned beef hash on
toast with poached eggs, buttered
spinach, country fried potatoes,
green salad, fresh fruit gelatin,
cream, coffee, milk.
Cheese: cold and covered are the
Watchwords for cheese. Use cot
tage and other soft cheeses quickly
for they spoil soon. Hard, cured
cheese, we'll wrapped, may be kept
longer.

UNCLE SAM MEANS BUSINESS

There is fairly general idea that
great deal of chiseling is going on against
price and rationing regulations. Probably
there is some. But Leon Henderson's Of
flee wants it understood that there are
penalties attached, and judges have made
it clear that those penalties will be ap-
piled.
An Indianan who broke rationing reg
ulation was sent to jail for Is months
and fined $500 A California tire bootleg
ger was fined $4,000 and given a years
suspended Jail sentence. A Minnesotan
who lied about the sugar he had on hand
was sent to jail for six months and fined
$210O. Three Texas proceeding violators
were fined $4,000 and sent to jail for 20
months each.
