Wooden License Plates

WAuubnACtu BtACACtbt U6tC topOs
and even wooden license plates will
ornament Americas motor vehicles
in the year ahead as the result of
ingenuity exercised by motor ve-
hicle departments in providing proof
of registration despite WPB order
curtailing use of steel for this pur-
pose by 80 per cent.
This was reported by Mr.. l.. e.
Kolmer, General Manager of the
Automobile Club of Maryland in the
annual AAA review of state license
plates to be provided in the year
ahead for the nations motor ye-
hicles.
Half of the states, including Mary
land, will continue use, of present
license plates with the addition of a
small tab or strip showing the date.
Thirteen states will not use steel
even for this purpose, with regis
tration being shown by wind
shield sticker. Two states, Florida
and Massachusetts will issue both
date tab and windshield sticker.
Pennsylvania, which now has Ii
cense plate denoting the geographi-
cal outline of the state, will carry
the note of individuality further
with a date tab cut in the form of
the states symbol--a keystone.
Among the, remaining states, a
variety of methods are being used.
Several states, including New York,
Mississippi, Rhode Island and South
Carolina, issued only one plate last
year, and will use the remaining
steel to issue one additional plate
this year. In most instances, the
steel had been manufactured into
plates and will have to be repro
cessed. Illinois will issue two plates
made from non-essential material,
while Arkansas is providing date
tabs for passenger cars and license
plates made from treated wood for
trucks and motorcycles.
AS result of this metal-conser-
vation program, the annual gay pa
rade of new automobile license plate
colors has gone the way of pants
with cuffs for the duration Instead
of the usual coming-out party for
new license plates color combina-
tions, there will be only five changes
in color schemes in the 1943 license
plates. Colorado's one new plate
will be yellow on black in place of
the present white on maroon; Illi-
nois' plates, made from fiber board
will be white on green in place of
orange on black; Mississippi is
changing from orange on blue to
red on cream; Wyoming plates,
made prior to the w. P. B. order,
will be orange on black in place of
black on white; and South Caro-
lima is reversing its present combin-
alton to provide yellow numbers on
black background.
The W. P. B. order limiting use of
steel in license plates went into eff
feet March 18, 1912; it provided
that state and local governments,
during the licensing year are per-
mitted to issue metallic plates in
quantities up to 10 per cent of the
weight of the plates issued in the
preceding licensing year and only
for these purposes; (D as replace
ment plates for those destroyed or
lost; (2) to new licensees or regis
trants, and (3) for issuing date
tabs, not more than inches square,
to be attached to plates already is
sued.

charming and attractive-Which is
just the way the men in service want
them to be. However, despite the
fact that they haven't gone in for
flowing capes, visor caps and mill
tary suits, the ladies have shown
their awareness and loyalty in their
jewelry. Stores report that they
just can't keep military-type jew
elry in stock. and no wonder, for it
couldn't be snappier.
Happily enough, the present array
is much better interpreted than
that first effort which consisted
primarily of American flags. Now
there are smart-looking gold and
silver Tvs" with Army and Navy
insignia, fat little hearts topped by
a visored cap bearing 1nsignia-the
whole thing tiny and beautifully
done. One Of the cleverest, and
slightly more "splashy," is q thin
gold v down which flies a forma-
ton Of tiny gold planes. It's utterly
fascinating, as good-looking as any
piece Of costume jewelry we've seen
and it means something besides!
Another mode which might be
directly attributed to the war and
to the new feeling of closeness to
our neighbors and friends is the
idea of name bracelet" which 50
many girls are adopting. Way it
works is this: Separate sterling
silver links are purchased one at
time and engraved with the name
of the donor. Eventually a whole
bracelet is collected and the names
may include those Of the wearer's
family. friends and, of course, her
beaux. When completed the brace
let is charming and delightfully."-

grandmother would have dotted on.

Do Not Allow
Your Joints
Stifen
Keep Body Timber
To Retain Young
Apbearance
By Patricia Lindsay


What mistake women make who
let their joints and muscles stiffen.
A stiff gait or slow getting on and
Oh the buses or trolley cars bespeakS
Of age creeping too fast! Besides
making them look old, and perhaps
older than they are, stiff joints and
hardened muscles cause pains and
aches which rob women Of their
sense Of humor, which. heaven
knows, we should hang onto these
days!
1 wish there were a cosmetic oil
can which one could use to squirt
energy into tired bodies and stiff
joints. But there is not. Only
bending and stretching and kicking
and rolling will serve to keep the
body timber. Even the very active
housewife should devote 10 or IS
minutes to mat exercises each day
The exercise she gets every day of
here life is not beauty conditioning
in fact it might easily give her
stiff joints!
We are all, or should be, inter-
ested in keeping fit these days so
we may meet emergencies with the
minimum OF fuss and sorrow. So
1t should behoove every woman to
keep her body timber. Here are a
few-very harmless-stretch ex-
ercises which she can do any hour
of The day that time permits. She
should, however, be dressed in
clothes which will not pull or bind,
and she should be barefooted.
Exercise l.
Stand erect, abdomen pulled in
and up, head pushed back, hands
clasped behind head, and elbows
held back. Holding this good body
posture, slowly bend to the right.
then back, down to the left, erect
again. Do this very slowly, holding
your abdomen in and your head
back for at least 10 minutes. It
provides q marvellous sense OF re-
lease from bound muscles.
Exercise III.
Lie fat on the floor, arms out,
spine touching floor. Bend knees
toward chest. Slowly push knees
over to the right while you keep
| spine and shoulders fiat on the floor,
bring back to original position, then
force them over to the left, back to
original position. The twist should
be at the waistline. At first do not
force your knees down too hardin
time they will touch the floor. Re-
peat five times.
Exercise III.
Stand erect, feet 1S inches apart,
hands on back of hips. Slowly bend
backward and let your hands slide
down your buttocks to back OF
thighs Your head must drop
Imply backward. Slowly rise again
One time the first day. Increase
daily.
Leafiet No. IS has more simple
keep fit exercises. II you request

City Youngsters
Need Vacation
In Country
Opens Up Nev Vista
OF Experiences
They'll Enjoy
By Letfice Lee STREET.

The country opens up to the city
child . new vista Of experiences and
sensations that are Joy to him. He
soon discovers that he need not be
afraid Of street cars and automo-
biles. there are only quiet lanes to
cross. He Is free to scamper over
fields and down shady paths. There
are rocks, hills and trees to climb.
II he Is on a farm there are chick
ems, pigs. cows and other livestock
to help feed and tend.
He learns that dumb animals con-
tribute . great deal to mankind
when he has the exciting sensation
Of searching for the warm eggs the
hens have just slaid. or watches the
milk stream into the bucket, foam
ing.
He does not need a lot Of toys. he
finds valuable playthings right on
the abundant ground. His overall
pockets bulge with stones, chips,
seed pods and even frogs. Heaven
forbid! His most priced possession
pales beside the thrills OF handling
q man-si7ed hoe when he is given
the opportunity to work the vege-
table garden. Fishing, wading and
picnics are all simple pleasures we'll
known to the country child.
Little girls find . great deal to do,
too. They make dolls Of bark with
corn silk hair and they place acorns
cups carefully on . stone table laid
with oak leaves for the fairies to
drink their morning dew. They help
churn butter, feed the chickens. mix
the cake for supper and clean up
the dishes. They ride. squealing, on
the broad backs Of the work horses.
I claim all these pleasures are good
for the body and the soul.
A child can not learn about his
land unless he sees 1t and handles
It. Books, movies and the descrip-
tions in class do not teach him. The
city child needs taste of country
life.
Not many Of US can afford to send
cur youngsters to expensive camps,
but most of US can scrape up the
price and muster the initiative ia
seek out = pleasant farm family
who win take the children for q
week or so. Their food has to be
paid for wherever they are. and to
my way Of thinking, such an ex-
perience may even be better than q
camp.
We all need an occasional chance
from each other and from our year
around environment, too. Children
are no exception. A man looks for
ward to his vacation. how about q
child?
