GLORIFY
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA StaR Writer

In many towns you often have to
make beauty shop appointments
several days In advance during these
times, and there are at least two
good reasons for that. One Is, al
though Uncle Sam Is seeing to 1t
that there are enough Of the basic
beauty aids to go around, equipment
for the shops Is not so plentiful as
before the war, and expert opera
tors are fewer. Two, professional
beauty care Is one of the very first
that women buy when they can af-
ford 1t and business is booming.
Your beauty cue from all that
should be clear; this is time to
get professional attentionand learn
from 1t. The def fingers Of the ex-
pert who gives you q facial massage,
or even shampoo, contribute both
to yourl ooks and to your vigor. If
you doubt 1t, just get good and tired,
then turn yourself over to an oper-
ator for q skillful going over. and
notice how her treatment Of the
back of your neck and shoulders re-
lakes and refreshes you.
However, notice also how she
works, and do a little efficient self
service between your visits to the
beauty shop. For instance, for ia
tigue, you can easily massage your
neck and shoulders.
Sit comfortably in a straight chair
with eyes closed, then drop your
head forward as far as possible.
Now place hands on shoulders, right
hand on right shoulder. and grip
the muscles above your shoulder
blades. Take a good grip. squeeze
the tissue, and work from the outer
edges In, then up your neck 10
your ears. Relax and roll your head
slowly over your left shoulder, back,
and around 10 the right and for
ward Repeat the massage and the
head roll several times. You will
find this invigorating. Such little
quick tricks are much more import
ant nowadays than they seemed u
be a few years ago; they pay In
beauty and energy.

When fresh vegetables are avail
able and you can afford the extra
time needed to prepare them, don't
spend points on canned vegetables,
Save those points for foods not
available In the fresh form. That
should be one of the basic princi-
pies of your ration arithmetic.
Here are some delicious recipes
from the booklet just issued by
the National Headquarters Of the
American Women's Voluntary Serv-
ice, called Garden For Victory
They will help you save points APP
petizingly.

many empty words" she warns.
According to her. fighting for
women's right is a symptom OF all
wars. Woman's role changes during
wartime. She is forcibly dragged
from hearth and home to contribute
to the war effort. In the present
conflict, far greater number Of
women than ever before have been
called upon, and postwar problems
will be all the more dinicult to
tackle.
Equal compensation in the medi.
cal services Is a reform for which
Edith Summerskill Is largely respon-
Sible and she has put up tremen-
dous fight to win equal compenSa-
ton for war workers.
Her work as a doctor (she's q
specialist in gynecology, women's
and children's ailments) has given
her an insight into all the postwar
reforms needed to attack the evil
effects Of unemployment, bad hous-
ing and disease.
Ever since 1895 she has chani-
pioned q State Medical Service
which would be preventive. cura-
tive, free and open to all, eliminat.
ing the archaic voluntary hospitals
system. She also Is insistent upon q
new charter for nurses, declaring
that the lack Of nursing recruits Is
merely a matter OF living wage.
It has been a refreshing expert
ence, says DR.. Summerskili. for
women to find their services indis-
pensable In the labor market as
well as in the military services. Yet
they still haven't achieved equal pay
for equal work and, she thinks, 1t Is

SO, It Is q mistake for a leader
In any kind OF volunteer work to
take the attitude that since the

doing 1t don't require gentle hand

II you are leader, be as tact
full In your criticisms and as gentle
