ordinating and guiding the
activities Of 32j Jewish cen
tiers and lMHA'S affiliated
with us throughout the coun-
try. Immediately following
the declaration Of war, we
went on record with a pledge
to the President of the United
States To the effect that the
complete facilities. buildings
and personnel of our orSani-
ZatiouS were available for
whatever war service they
could best be- used. Shortly
thereafter We formed a new
department of war effort
services. charged with the
job Of launching a war mo-
biliZation program in the
Jewish center field. This pro-
gram covers war relief, eco
nOmic aid 10 the nations war
effort. civilian protective ac-
tivities and military morale
work. The program will be
conducted jointly with our
regular army and navy sery-
ice program.
Jewish centers have always
been a force in preserving
and developing the demo-
cratic way of life, and they
have a great deal to offer the
total war effort. which in

but also, civilian protection,

stresses cooperation wit h

civilian defense and war eff
forts field. Our first task,
therefore, is to relate our
selves to whatever govern
ment and community ma
chinery exists to that there
will be no overlap of func-
tons or waste of energy.
On the civilian protective
front, many of our centers
already have become head
quarters for air raid wardens,
as well as serving as enlist
ment information centers,
where enlistments among
members of the center are
stimulated and encouraged
and personal problems irOned
out. In addition, these organ

With regard to civilian
morale work, our program is
based on the conviction that
il is now more important than
ever to continue and expand
our regular cultural, educa-
tiOnal and recreatiOnal activi-
ties, which have meant so
much in promoting sound
citizenship. Also in this con-
nection, we are offering our
facilities and personnel to the
volunteer office of civilian
defense for the enrolment,
training and placement Of
group leaders, kindergarten
and nursery school helpers.
We are. i'm addition, intensi-

ODT Rating Exceeded
Bv MANY Livestock Trucks

AS a rubber saving measure more
than half the livestock trucks
checked in a recent study at the
Chicago Union Stock Yards hauled
loads that equaned or exceeded ODT
rated tire load capacities both to
and from market, according to R. c.
Ashby, chief in livestock marketing,
University of Illinois college Of az
riculture, who made the study.
OF the 226 trucks, lis, or almost
81 per cent Of them, hauled loads
both ways that equalled or exceeded
the ODT rating, he reported.
One hundred Of the trucks, about
20 per cent of them, hauled 100 per
cent or more Of capacity on one
trip but less than rs per cent Of
capacity on the other. There were
only 81 trucks, or about % per cent,
that hauled less than 100 per cent
of capacity both ways. On inbound
trips l52 of the trucks, or Ct per
cent, hauled loads exceeding 100 per
cent Of rated tire capacity.
Truckmen estimated they could
continue hauling for nine months
with their present rubber. This
was the average for all 226 trucks,
based upon mileage expectancy for
their poorest tires.
Results Of similar surveys for the
National Stock Yards, Peoria, H.,
and the Springfield, ILL.,, markets viii
be available soon.

Clothing Specialist Gives
Suggestions on Hose Care

Sheer hose that look like silk or
nylon nowadays probably are made
Of rayon and they need different
care than the hose with which
women have been familiar in the
past, according to Edna M. Gala
han, clothing specialist, Ohio State
university.
Miss Callahan advises women to
learn the best methods Of caring for
rayon hose because they will be the
ones most suitable for dress occa-
sions in the near future. The sup
ply Of silk for hose is practically
gone and nylon is being used to
supplement the fast diminishing
stocks. Present cotton fbers do not
produce the sheer hose women want
for best.
The new rayon hose differ from
rayon hose sold in the past In being
less glossy, none are full fashioned
although seamless hose are being
sold, and the price is higher. The
new rayon hose differ from cotton by
being smoother, more attractive,
more sheer, higher priced, and less
serviceable.
Considerable care is necessary in
laundering rayon hose to avoid DAM
aging them. The hose can be
snagged easily by rough finger nails
or by rings which are no. removed
while the hose are being washed.
Miss Callahan advises the use Of
lukewarm water and just enough
mild soap to make a lasting suds.
Use the soap to clean, and then rinse
until water remains clear after the
rinsing.

Sterilizing by Sun

Diaper-washing can be made cas-
Ter and more agreeable by putting
the soiled diapers into a prepared
covered pail until the daily washing
period. Using tablespoon Of borax
to each two quarts Of cold water,
fill the pail half full Of this solu-
ton. Drop wet diapers into it, and
add soiled diapers after flushing
them with cold water. A stable
pail is needed for the baby's daily
quota. Wash the diapers in the
morning so that the strong sun can
sterilize and bleach them. Transfer
them from the borax solution into
a tub Of warm soapy water, rub
until clean, and rinse three times.
Fold smooth but do not iron. Twice
a week the diapers should be boiled
in a soap solution, rinsed thoroughly,
and sun-dried.

Current Lettuce Crop
Near Twice Last Years

The current lettuce crop is est.
mated at 5000, 900 crates, or one and
one-hah million crates more than at
the corresponding time in 1871. The
heaviest supplies are expected to be
on the consumer market through
and after May Is.
Nutritionists think so well Of leafy
green vegetables, the family to
which lettuce belongs, that they rec
ommend a serving Of at least one
green vegetable each day. Green
lettuce is a good source of carotene,
which the body can change into vita
min A. It contains also some vita
min B-l. ribofavin, and vitamin c,
and is a good source of iron and
calcium In general. the thinner
and greener the leaf, the better
source of iron and carotene lettuce
is. Bleached lettuce contributes
most Of these same food values. but
it rates considerably lower than
does green lettuce as a source Of
the vitamins and minerals men,

Ladies': We take this beauty
lesson from four women who are
not beautiful. Neither are they
young nor glamorOus. Yet they are
among the most widely admired
women in the world If you, too,
are not beautiful in the conventional
sense, you might take heart from
the fact that their success took
place in the theatre, in competition
with the most exquisite perfection
of form and feature.
Our object lessons are Ethel
Barrymore, Lynn FOntanne, Helen
Hayes and Katharine Cornell. About
equal in public popularity and
critical esteem, all have been called
at various times, The First Lady
of the American Theatre" Their
ages range from just under forty
to just over sixty. An artists
analysis of their features might
find them not at all extraordinary
according to beauty standards. Yet
all over America audiences bow to
them!
The charm of an actress is en-
HANGED, quite frankly, by all the
tricks and articles in makeup
science. Her cosmetics are not ap-
piled in any careless, slap-dash
manner. Features are studied, and
the smart use of lipstick, rouge,
face-powder, and eye-shadow is an
important sideline to her theatrical
talent. Both Katharine Cornell and
Lynn FOntanne are noted for their
coal-black tresses and the hair Of
Helen Hayes and Ethel Barrymore
has never been allowed to change
in color, throughout the years.
Next, the fascination of these
women is accomplished by tricks of
voice meditation, expressive eyes,
a sensitive face, and a development
of personal mannerisms particularly
attractive to each. One is noted
for the vivid way in which she uses
her hands to describe a mood. An
