} GLORIFY
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Stan Writer

Madame Chang Kai-shek, the
illustrious Oriental, mas a lot to
teach us Occidentals about charm.
She stepped gracefully, smilingly,
into a press conference the other
day, and In few minutes every
body who had come to see an i'm
portant person of world politics was
admiring the woman she is, too.
She has lot of natural physi-
cal charm-useS cosmetics and
clothes as flares to illuminate It,
Her Chinese dress, simple as slip
with sleeves, and fine as brocaded
black silk can be, fit her sinuouS
figure exactly, and emphasized her
black eyes and ivory skin. Jet out
lined the skirts e6ge and side Sits;
at her throat were rosy cornelian
buttons and gold threads. The warm
rose color was repeated In her lip
stick and lacquered nails.
While she was still in the hos
pital, Madame availed herself of the
service Of Fifth Avenue salon; her
long black hair was softly waved in
her unusual classical style, with a
knot low on her neck. Besides
nurses, her "amah" accompanies her
and attends to her meticulous groom
ing. No false patriotism here, apollo
iZing for looking her best!
But Madame had q message Of
goodwill to put across. and her
force, were marked Wit was
weapon: she parted a question by
remarking that japanese women
don't conflde In her. More than
wit, however, she displayed mod
esty: she constantly disclaimed ex-
pertness upon questions asked, then
answered them to the best Of her
ability, which was quite some.
She has a soft mixed southern
and New England accent, acquired
when she went to school in Geor-
gia and Massachusetts,; her voice Is
warm, her ideas completely thought
out before, she utters them. Re-
peatedly. she thought moment be-
fore responding to a question--an
expression Of poise and also a means
Of increasing poise. When Madame
Chang had to stop and think, she
simply did so. And that's typical
Of what seems to be her great per-
sonality plus-just being naturally
warm and wise.

ton to the war effort should not be
taken lightly.
Here is one junior hostess pro-
test:
IAN the girls who go to the
USO dances, or at least nine
tenths OF them, work all day long
and don't even have time to go
home and freshen up before the
long ordeal. It really Is an Or
deal. Sure, we get some pleasure
out Of 1t, or we wouldn't go back
for more.
"But you feel obligated to
dance with every soldier who
asks you. Sometimes he is so tall
that you can't see over his Shout
der, and then again you get q
clear view Of the whole room
over his head.
1T assure you that very few Of
the boys are Fred Astaires. But
they are all willing TO walk
around the dance floor, landing on
your tired, aching feet much too
often.
SHE'S A COMMANDO"
-T-----~
sometimes I've wondered II
my poor feet would get me home.
"You talked about the men
outnumbering the women as
though that were all to the good.
/ assure you that since I've be-
come a junior hostess, could go
through q Commando raid with
the greatest Of case.
"I've been bumped into, pushed
around, and literally thrown from
one boys arms to the next, and
take 1t from me, the soldiers,
sailors and marines are really be-
ing we'll fed. They're healthy
pecimens-hard as rocks, One
girl ] know got q broken toe as o
reward for an evenings dancing
at a USO party.
"And then after all this fun,
how do we girls get home? In
limousines? Nope. We go home
on the bumpy buses and street
cars, and many of us then have
several dark, lonely blocks to
walk alone. Does all this sound
like such a picnic?"
Well, no 1t doesn't. Maybe the
girls who spend their evenings
dancing with service men are
heroines after all. Nope, its
probably not a picnic. Not near
as much fun as the picnics our
boys had at Guadalcanal and
New Guinea.

Their engineers nrt studied . vate,
! injector device about . year aso
The engineers, however, were g
convinced, that the company on It's
own initiative produced 1000 In
jectors In advance of orders.
The water vaporizes to steam as
1t enters the engine cylinders. Three
main advantages follow. First, the
water vapor cools the cylinder more
than otherwise possible. Second,
detonation is reduced. Detonation
Is too-rapid explosion. familiar as sn
engine knock, which loses power be-
cause the explosion goes faster than
the piston can take Up the rush.
Third, the water vapor produces
more power because 1t permits the
use OF leaner mixture Of gasoline
from the carburetor.
On July 8 Pratt dk Whitney en-
gneer started for England With two
injector installations for Republic
P-47 Thunderbolts. Parts for water
uses also went to Ford at Dearborn
for installation in Pratt 6s Whitney
engines being built there.
The use of water fuel has spread

cred with Pratt g. Whitney 1000

u. 5. Military Planes
Now Employing Wafer
To Accelerate Speed
BY HOWARD w. BLAKEsLEE

| Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-One of the
latest American military secrets
how for some months water has been
used by Army and Navy fighter
planes to drive their engines faster,
was explained today with Army and
Navy approval.
The water Is forced directly into
the engine cylinders along with the
gasoline. This gives added, instan-
taneous bursts of power. The extra
speed Is considerable, but the figure
remains a secret.
The pilot, when he wants to lump
his top speed, turns on the water
by throwing dashboard switch. The
acceleration is enough to enable
pilot to grab position against an
adversary, or to take successful
evasive action, which means lodging
either the fire of other planes or Of
antiaircraft guns. The effectiveness
has been proven in combat.
The explanation Of water as en-
gine fuel was made public in a
statement by the Pratt & Whitney
aircraft division Of the United Air
craft Corp, East Hartford, Conn.

National Restaurant
 Week To End Sunday
Mothers Day Marks Close of National Observance;
 SO,OOO From Coast to Coast Participating

"There is no telling where our country will have to stop. It all depends on farm production throughout the country in 1943 and future war years.
 Tn Great Britain, the variety and quality of the foods served in restaurants are often not as great as that obtainable in the home. There are severe restrictions on the number of courses and the amount Of each dish, particularly meats, fish or eggs.
 wheat products also are curtailed because of great shortage of grain, and potatoes and potato flour are substituted. Eating establish ments are asked to feature this vegetable for breakfast every morn. ing
 Meat portions for an individual serving are lees than ounces. or about three bites. Allowances on a weekly basis per person include: Sugar, 8 ounces; bacon. ounces; meat, approximately IA ounces; cooking fats, ounces; butter. 2 ounces; other fats, 4 ounces; tea, 2 ounces; sweet spreads, 4 ounces. Most consumers use powdered milk to supplement the basic ration of two pints per week"

Take her out to dinner on Mothers Day.
 So urge local cafe and restaurant men, who this week arc observing National Restaurant Week. With more than 5O,000 restaurateurs from coast to coast participating, the an nual campaign has been timed to end on Mothers Day, which public eating places will emphasize with special prepared menus.
 Diners out nay well consider the county of the fare now available in American eating places" said Yer nan Stouffer, president of the Ma ;ional Restaurant association, spon- ior of the week.
 What the future may bring in the way of government rationing is Still problematical but it is expected hat there will be more and more :urtailing, rather than less. How sver, 1t is not likely that American civilians will ever be limited to the evels that prevail in Great Britain, where many more food items are 'ationed than in this country to late,

 Dear MT. DerWin:
 I am glad to find that the City Amateur Baseball League is going to func- tion this year.

@lotber's Dap, l943

ONLY lucky few of the men in uniform V will be home for Mothers Day this year, but most men will want to be home, and they will jam the long distance lines with their telephone calls from every part of the country.
 Extra operators will be on duty, manning every switchboard and working at top speed throughout the day. Every available circuit will be in use. Even SO, there are bound to be some delays and disappointments. Doesn't it seem little enough to give our soldiers and sailors first chance at available long distanc~ lines for their calls home to Mother?
