Thrifty Young Citizens
War Savings Stamps Can Teach Child Value of Money;
Here's How He May Earn WhereMithal to Buy Them

Teaching children the value of
money always has been a knotty
parental problem. Just as a little boy
is perfectly willing to swap his tri-
cycle for a handful of bright mar
bles because the marbles are what
he wants at the moment, so teen
ayers will spend 81, if they have it,
as readily as 40 cents, whether or
not the purchase is worth tha-
amount of money.
No seedlings or depriving them
of their allowances seems to make
any appreciate difference. On the
other hand, constant talk about
not spending money makes many
youngsters so unsure that they
never become confident of their own
judgment in the years when it is
necessary that they make purchases
and get good value.
Right now, when every family
Is thinking and talking about value
not only in terms of money, but in
terms of point rationing, there is
a wonderful opportunity to make
the children aware of their own
part in the large scheme of things.
Watching the family budget. count
ing the family ration points and
buying the family quota of War
savings stamps may be turned into
game that will teach the children
invaluable lessons in saving.
With the second War loan now
under way, youngsters can make
start on nest egg, learn money
values at an early age and find
themselves an important asset to
their country at the same time.
Many parents make a game of
1t by presenting their youngsters
with savings stamp album with
one stamp affixed as a starter. Then
they explain how that stamp will
grow for 10 years, just as the child
himself will grow, until it is much
bigger in money value than it is
today. Reward for filling the first
book of stamps is a new book with
five stamps already in it.
There are various ways that a

wearing of a uniform, which she
believes brings spirit of teamwork
into the plant, eliminates envy and
competition, besides being practical.
In addition to uniforms for every
conceivable job, Miss Horgan

such jobs as welding, riveting, in

from such top-fight millinery de-
signers as Dache and John Fred
cries, to the optical companies who
make the goggles and eye pro-
tectors.
The whole matter of safety has
been brought to the fore-not only
on the assembly line in industrial
plants, but also on the street, par
ticulaIiy where dimout regulations
require that lights at night be dras-
tically lessened.
At luncheon at the Plaza,
BonWit-Teller climaXed the pres
entation of high-style spring and
summer fashions with dimout styles
for after dark. The cloth which is
being used to make them is the
same as that used by the Govern
ment on boats travelling in black
outs. They need the glowing fabric
to mark their companionWays, lad
ders, switches, etc. AS such, it is
available in limited quantities to the
public, but is being used as belts
on coats, to edge hoods on rain
coats. fol bags, hats, flowers, shoe
buckles and even dog collars and
leashes. The new fabric is a white
acetate 1ayon, coated with luminous
pigments that have a calcium base
and are then lacquered and water
proofed. The pigments absorb light,
either electric or daylight, and cast
this light off in darkness. The
fabric may be seen at a distance Of

Jeudi Club Dimes
Delicious Shrimp Dish Piece de Resistance
OF Recent Meeting at Joe Kendall's
As Reborfed by Arthur II. Deufe.

The fine art of the dinner party
at home was not "such-a-much"
when one simply called up the
butcher boy and said: "Aloysius,
strip sirloin big enough for eight
and at the back door promptly at
4. I leave it to you"
Anybody who had the necessary
wampum could throw a dinner
party under such conditions and go
down in neighborhood history as
a friend Of the gourmets.
But it is quite something else
to be able to assemble the needed
ingredients in this present day and
age and dole it out to eight hungry
souls-even if one does it only once
every four weeks, as becomes
member of the Club de Jeudi. But
the male amateur chef is ever in
ventive and adventurous-and each
rises to new heights, as witness the
dinner for four couples served
last Thursday by Joe Kendall
and again served in the tradition
of the South, thank you, sub!
Here was the menu:
Savannah Canape OF Tomato
Shrimp Perlo1D
Cole SlaW With
Southern Cooked Dressing
Pecan Pie
Coffee
Yes, GWendolyn, we heard your
remark: How can one do such a
dinner these days?" The answer is
easy: One looks about, one finds
something here, another item there
and gradually accumulates the in
gradients for the grand dinner
party. 1t is true we do not give
dinner parties with quite the casual
attitude we once did, which makes
them all the more important and
delightful when the festive evening
rolls around.
Making Savannah tomato canape
means first a slice of toast, cut
round, brushed with a lit of melted
butter. A slice of rather under
ripe tomato, covered with a tea
spoonful of grated cheese and plenty
Of pepper and paprika goes on
top-then right under the hot
broiler while the cheese melts.

NEW YORK.-With the present
army of four million women in in
dustry expected to swell to double
that size by the end of this war.
their many problems were given full
consideration at the convention of
the Greater New York Safety Coun-
Gil in New York recently.
One of the most interesting dis
cussions centered around the adap-
tation of women to war industries.
Differences in temperament, phys
lcal abilities. attitude toward their
work were among the complex ques-
tions discussed by Mr.. D. I. Robin
son, employment supervisor of the
Sperry Gyroscope Co.. a firm that
admittedly expects to reach an all
time high of 80 per cent feminine
employment. Because they work
with small articles that require
patience and manual dexterity,
women are particularly well adaptd
to industry today.
Mr.. Robinson smashed many
usual notions about the employ
ment of women in factories. The
bogey of experience is highly over
rated" he stated Women must be
adaptable to industrial discipline.
His company prefers at least high
school education, but would as soon
have a girl or woman without pre-
vious training. Office workers are
sometimes given factory jobs, but
former training is not considered
necessarily valuable.
Girls too young are frequently not
seriouS-minded enough about their
jobs, and women too mature may be
slow to absorb training, Mr.. Robin
son pointed out. Between these two
extremes is vast reservoir of wom-
an power to draw upon. AS to indi-
vidual aptitiudes, they are deter
mined by personal interviews COM
bined with aptitude tests, which
have been carefully worked out to
show manual deXterity and other
requirements.
Next to ability, the attitude of the
individual to the job is of great
Importance, Mr.. Robinson stressed
Some women want the publicity
or social esteem that comes with
holding a defense position. Others
are inspired by patriotic motives.
1t is important to determine the
motive behind the jobseeker and
her ability to get along with people
before time and money are spent
on her training.
Compared to men. Mr.. Robinson
evaluates the physical efficiency of
women in the following manner:
They have 80 per cent of the
stature, 80 per cent of the weight
and SIS per cent of the strength. On
the majority of jobs. these deficien-
cies are more than compensated by
patience, dexterity, the ability to
follow instructions and training, as
well as real desire to do good job
On the "frothy" side, the meeting
considered work clothes. A fashion
review of those actually worn in war
production plants was presented by
Miss Mary E. Horgan of the Ameri-
can Mutual Liability Insurance Co
According to her findings. so per
cent of women workers choose COW
erals. The other half is divided
between slacks and overalls.
She finds that women want to
dress attractively even on the dirti-
est jobs, and that often the pres
ence Of women makes the men
