Display Hobby
Put Cherished Collection to Good Use

Most of us have a mania" for
collecting. This hobby riding"
has been known to take us all
over the countryside in search of
loot" that may have little value
in dollars and cents but which is
priceless as part Of collection.
However, the consideration which
makes a hobby important is the
manner in which it is displayed,

Of decoration, rather than Just a

Send Our Girls
Into War Work
With Chins Up
BY A nglo Patri

War work is calling girls away
from home. They go as clerks,
secretaries, machine shop work.
ers and nurses aides. They serve
in all sorts of capacities in all
sorts of places, wherever there
is need. Fathers and mothers do
not like to see their girls leave
home under the conditions of to-
day. Some of them accept 1t
with resignation, some protest.
some put my foot down and
said no."
This is a war that leaves none
of us out, and that includes the
girls. Many of them would pre-
fer their usual way of life, no
doubt. They did not choose
this way-they had it thrust
upon them. Their brothers and
sweethearts are in camp or in
action, and they know that they
must support them behind the
lines if the mems sacrifice Is to
achieve its purpose. It is not
right then to make their leaving
home a matter OF family rows.
When the boys are called
fathers and mothers try valiantly
to send them off without tears or
protests. They hide their feel
ings as we'll as they can. They
speak encouraging words, praise
the boys courage and willingness
to serve. They know they must.
They should know by now that
the girl who leaves home behind
her and goes to a strange place
to type letters, run errands, work
at switchboard, man a canteen,
or whatever else she is required
to do, goes in the same spirit as
the boy goes, and needs the same
cheers and the same godspeed.
The girls who 60 into war
service are not exactly children.
They have been trained in some
field of work and it is fair to
credit them with some degree of
good sense and understanding OF
their position. If they are not
mature enough to take care Of
themselves away from home for
the duration there is good ground
for supposing they never will be,
and there Is no use in worrying
about that.
Away from home, in the ranks
OF the war workers, a girl is pro-
vided with everything she needs
In the way of recreation, health
care, and spiritual refreshment.
She needs the support of the
home people in words of encour-
agement, in letters, in little re-
minders of affection. She does
not need, and she should not
have, tears, laments, and dire
prophesies OF failure. She, too,
Is a soldier, and it is our duty to
stand by her and cheer her on.
Send the girls of cheerfully and
II you must cry, cry alone. There
Is really nothing that we have
the right to cry about involved
here. Our youth is leaving us
behind In our old world and 60
ing out bravely to create their
own. Our part In the scheme
is to be their background, their
source OF material and spiritual
supply. That calls for no tears.

Each Skin Needs
Face POuder of
Different Type
By Patricia Lindsay

A beauty editor is too apt to
feel that her readers know
enough about powder to buy the
right shade and texture. 1t is
very obvious, however, that many
women buy the wrong shade Of
powder and their beauty is much
impaired
The quality and weight and
shades of face powder are things
every woman should know about.
The finer the quality and the
lighter the weight the more nat
urally it will blend with the nor
NAL skin tone and texture and
other makeup. Powder is used
mainly for two purposes-to
erase a shine from the skin and
to enhance its coloring Powder
should never be used to change
lllC CO1Ol VI lllC Sh1ll.
If a too heavy powder is used
on a thin skin the skin loses its
translucence and the powder
cakes, making it appear as If the
skin were finely wrinkled
The simplest method to deter
mine which weight of powder
your skin requires is to take one
of medium texture, apply it, and
closely scrutinize it. If 1t is too
heavy add lighter powder. If 1t
is not heavy enough to cling to
the skin add a little heavier
mixture.
Each woman can find a blend
of face powder which is perfect
for her current skin tone Most
face powders are clearly marked
as to shade and bit of the pow
der usually shows through a
transparent covering. But these
can be deceiving. If it is posi-
BILE to test the shade at the
beauty counter, by all means do
so. Otherwise, buy the smallest
quantity you can Of shade
which you think is perfect, test
it, and if it is right, or approx
mately so, carry it to the cosmetic
salesgirl and ask her to match
it in a larger quantity.
AS your skin tone changes
change your powder shade by.
mixing in darker powder for SUM-
tanning, or lighter powder if your
skin is gradually bleaching. Dur
ing a year a woman's skin tone
lcan change in shade four times
so do learn the art of blending
shades.
Now word about the quality.
Most powders mixed by prom
inent cosmetic firms are def
nitely harmless. They contain
good material. But If your skin
is even slightly allergic to one or
another of common powder in
gradients you must find your
shade among those blended for
very sensitive or allergic skins
which are free of orris root and
other irritating elements.

Cost Plus
Blamed for

Leaders Opposed TO
Freezing Workers

TISCZiIl9 VOiNSis
The trouble with employment
policies in the war industry is not
so much ''pirating" of workers as
the cost-plus contracts granted by
the government. Chester M. Gull
yer. manager of the Detroit En-
ployers Association, said today.
Discussing the proposal to
freeze war workers in their
present jobs. Culver continued:
ait has not amounted TO raid
Ing by companies here. Shifts
In employment have been con-
fined TO quality rather than
quantity. Only the highly skilled
men have been 'pirated,' So
called.
CAN BOOST RATES
ssS0nne companies have been
able to boost scales TO unheard-
of heights and thus obtain
skilled employees because their
contracts are cost-plus. Under
this system, the employer doesn't
need 70 care how much ne pays
his men, Just a. long a. they do
the Job efficiently"
Culver said his organization Is
prepared ito go along with any
control suggested by the govern
ment, but added that he could
readily understand unionN labors

ton"
They have just grounds for
complaint" he said, because
they fear any policy set down
now may he carried on after the
war. The union Il a. much
against pirating as any one else"
OPPOSES JOB PLAN
His second criticism was voiced
against the proposal Of handling
all future employment through a
federal service.
"Any bureaucratic plan does
not generally result In placing
the most capable men where
they can best be used" he ex-
planned.
In Muskegon, meantime. August
Scholle, head of the state CIO
council, protested the order.
Rather than regiment the
worker like that" Scholle said,
"they should stabilize wages In

ducement to move from low-pay
