Wants Services Of Colored Helpers
In War Work Remembered.
Tn the Rditor of Ths 9tar.

To the Editor Of The Star:
We wonder how many Washington
citizens, newcomers and old timers, give
credit to the efficient and willing work
Of colored teachers. pupils and volunteer
citizens who served in the three draft
periods and rationing for sugar and
gasoline.
The writer is aware of the tremendous
responsibility and the meritorious work
done by the administrative heads of all
OF these programs. They would be the
last not to give unstinted praise to their
assistants, praise to those assistants who
worked with them Yet I do believe
the public should know more about the
work of the colored teachers and officers
in system where Is yet the policy used
to select chairmen OF committees denies
them this opportunity to serve. AL
though their names are seldom singled
out, these colored officers are doing =
grand job. Z. B. HENDERSON.

possibility of enforcing the printed
rationing instructions which require
that public transportation be used
wherever available, because no limits
are set on the length of the trip and no
account is taken of the impossible bur-
den on public transportation that would
ensue II this rule were applied. There
is, furthermore, no clear ruling on
doubling up and in effect a strict ap-
plication Of the present rules heavily

and gasoline. I, for example, have an
allowance Of gas-because I was honest

over my share of the driving to work.
Hoarding has been heavy and hoard.
ing Of gasoline is infinitely more danger
Gus than boarding of sugar. know at
least one man whose hoard, built up in
the past 10 days. exceeds l20 gallons.
Both he and his wife have B-3 cards,
but only one drives to work OF course.

Filling station attendants assure their
favorite customers that they will supply
any necessary amount to them "off the

This story needs no comment. It
leads to two predictions: A failure of

The native land of the hevea tree was
Northern South America
Many have asked why Brazilian rub
ber cannot be resurrected. The answer
is that up to the present the trees cam
not be grown in plantations in South
America. 1t was due to no dark and deep
British and Dutch plot that the world
center of rubber culture was shifted to
the East Indies.
When planted close together in South
America the hevea trees contract q
deadly disease. The Department of Ag-
riculture has been introducing disease
resistant strains. 1t Is claimed that the
disease has been overcome on expert
mental plantations of the Ford Motor
Co. in Brazil.
Hevea trees grow wild only three or
them and gathering the latex is exces-
sive. About seven years are required
for a hevea tree to come into economic
production.
Assuming that the disease has been
overcome. there is little question but
that Northern South America could sup
ply the entire American demand in time
If it is worth the investment in the
face of the synthetic rubber situation.
Even If enormous plantations were
made today. the supply would start
pouring in only long after the war. This
would be an outstanding advantage ii
the Axis wins the war and Japan keeps
the rubber countries. Otherwise 1t prob
ably would be contribution to hemi-
sphere solidarity and a bar against an
other East Indian monopoly. It offers
little for the present emergency.

Lace Trims Many
Pastel Sweaters

For entertainment and for enlight-
eminent as to the newer style trends,
you will find stroll about in the
knitted-wear departments and shops
well worth while. All signs point
to an outstanding season of individu-
al-looking sweaters.
They are doing some clever stunts
with sweaters, even going so far as
to trim them with lace You'll find
black lace edging or applique on
the pastel sweater very effective.
Then there are the jeWel-bespattered
sweaters you will see at evening
functions this winter. You will be
intrigued with the sweater that dis
plays gorgeous butterfly alight on
the shoulder of a black or pastel
knitted background.
Rich in promise is this new de-
parture in sweater technique. One
of the new effects widely employed
is the use of brilliant jeweled but
tons. Plastic buttons in colorful flow
er themes are also much in evil
dence on dressier sweaters.

Sugar-saving apple recipes do de-

way to shop. Pick out what the best
way is from the facilities available,
but be sure to investigate those ia
cilities before you fall into one pat
tern.
Shopping Carefully.
Concentrations an important note
in these times. And it's mighty i'm
portant in this fascinating business
of stocking up the pantry. If you
plan meals for, say three days, or
better still, week in advance, you
will not be trotting up to the store
twice every day, or calling up your
grocer whose time is at a premium
and whose delivery facilities have
been cut in the midst of cake bak-
ing to tell him you simply must
have vanilla. Make out lists, and
then shop for everything you
need at one time.
When the snap of autumn gets into
the air, use pumpkin, squash and
Concord grapes. When the drifts of
snow pile lightly against your door
or the weather gets at least uncom-
fortably cold, use root vegetables
and those canned goods in the can
ming cupboard. In spring, straw
berries, asparagus, and broilers
should grace your menu. What I

Crowns of the new fall hats 60
soaring to dizzy skyscraper heights.
The crown and brim of the hat at
the top in the above illustration is
of green stitched chenille cloth which
is contrasted with the black felt
brim edging and crown band. The
bag is of the same green chenille
cloth with a top fold Of black felt.
There is a decided favor ex-
pressed for mushroom brims which
are in direct contrast to the new
towering crowned, wide and dash
ing, nonchalant brims. The hat be-
low is one of the newer mushrooms
of stitched wool frise in a light
shade of gold. The crown is braided
chenille in gold, rust and black with

ing upward in dramatic manner.

veteen. It's a lovable gown to wear
to "dates" and really as practical
to wear to class. This handsome
check-printed velveteen does honor
to the cotton textile theme, for that's
what it is, one of those stunning
cotton materials which are a per-
suasive argument in favor of adopt
ing smart cottons for winter and fall
as well as spring and summer wear.
This classic shirtWaist model
achieves new look with its pegtop
skirt that brings discreet and flat
tering fullness to the fore. Unusual
blouse fastenings clip on and off
like the buttons on military uni
form. You can vision this dress in
rich autumn green or brown or the
new fuchsia tone, but there's no end
to the colors available.
Shown to the right in the above
picture is a sWank and practical
"date" costume made of spruce
green velveteen, with the new hip
bone jacket length. The scallop
treatment is most beguiling. Be it
said also of this costume, as well
as it's two companion fashions, that
they have been made to conform to
the government fabric-saving pro-
gram in every detail as issued
direct from the Office of War In
formation. For downright practical
ity and the utmost chic and charm,
here is costume that will measure
up perfectly to every requirement.
Another velveteen charmer is CEN
tered in the above illustration. 1t
is just the sort that carries college
girl appeal with it's dirndl-front skirt,
pockets and studded belt that is so
smartly colorful. Speaking of school
girl fashions, there is nothing smart
er or more practical than vel
veteen jumper dress with which you
can. wear a different blouse every
day if you so choose. Bright red
velveteen is a first selection, or the
new purple.

that it is not affected by the priority

Cheese Bargains.
Right in line with buying what is
most economical at present are the
bargains you can find in cheese.
Cheese is much more than some
thing you put between slices of
bread or the golden orange wedge
you serve with pie or crackers. 1t
is the most economical source of
protein and as such can be used
as an excellent meat substitute.
Easily digestible and easily blend
ing with almost every kind of food,
it makes even the simplest dish
distinctive one because of the flavor
it imparts to- it. And. remember,
you'll get not only protein when you
use it, but those other essential diet
necessities like phosphorus, calcium,
iron, and vitanins B, D and C.
:; AS American as apple pie, are the
American cheese stocks which we
now have on hand. You'll be kind
to your budget if you make use of
some of these IDEAS:
*Cheese and Baked Beans.

the summer bargains IN foods be-
come fewer and you have to do
more juggling with figures to give
your family the right food, at the
best possible prices.
If you are Mrs. Average America,
you will be more nutrition conscious
this year than last, too. This will
be not only because nutrition news
has sprinted into the limelight, but
because the demands of wartime liv-
ing upon energy have become so
great that you will have to have
right foods to do your most and your
best.
But, how can budgeting help you
to serve fright" meals, you ask.
That's simple. Buy the right foods
with your dollars and you can't help
serving meals that are correctly bal
anced.
First, divide the food dollar into
fifths. One-fifth, or 20 cents, should
60 for vegetables and fruits. Use
the next fifth for milk and cheese.
The third of the fifths goes for the
basis of your important meals
meats, eggs and fish.
Another fifth will be set aside for
breads and cereals, while the very
last 20 cents is allowed for access
sorry items such as butter, fats, sug-
ar, tea, coffee and Spices. q,
