Notes on Scarcities of Work Shirts,
Onions. Cranberries And Mems Socks
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff Correspondent


Washington, Dec. 15-Shirts for
Americas millions working in war
factories will be the first step in
the forthcoming program for pro-
duction of low-cost textile goods.
In a few days an order will be
out on production of the sturdy
fabrics which 60 into work shirts.
It is probable that manufacturers
will be given quotas to keep up
their production of these fabrics to
their former percentages at least.
Specifications on stitching. cut,
and amount of cloth which are al
ready in effect on work clothes will
be tied up with new ceiling prices.
1t should not be too many months
before you see these new utility
shirts at reasonable prices.

Our armed forces are marching
on huge quantities of onions, among
other things. The large demand

sible for the preser, shortage OF
onions. according to tire L. S. De-
permanent of Agriculture. The arm
ed forces use lots of onions, es-
pecially dehydrated ones. Usually
in an onion shortage, the cook could
shift to garlic for seasor'ng, but

inexpensive low-point protein
foods such as dry beans, peas and
lentils are becoming more popular
in meal planning because Of the ris-
ing point values placed on many
meats. And because Of the variety
of ways they may be prepared, they
may be included in menus often
without monotony.
Black, kidney and pinto beans
make a delicious soup when COM
bined as a chowder. The milk which
is added to the soup makes it more
nutritious and more palatable. A
combination of beans and white
sauce to which green pepper, pi-
mento and a little onion has been
added, makes an appetizing main
dish suitable for lunch or dinner.
Whatever the food may be, re-
member-waste none of it-combine
it with other foods to make appetiz-
ing meals. And while dairy products
are not on the list of abundant foods
there will be the usual amount for
everyone if we use them wisely and
take good care of what we have.
Milk is our most nearly perfect food
and contributes valuable vitamins
and minerals to the days dietary.

, MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM e. MCKINNEY

met Edgar Bergen and Charlie
Mccarthy after their recent broad
cast from New York, and discovered
that Bergen is an enthusiastic
bridge player, and Charlie of course
is the ideal dummy. We were dis
cussing a hand that Bergen had
played, and it was amazing how
Bergen worked Charlie into the
argument.
Bergen (East) trumped the
opening lead, took two rounds Of
trumps, finessed the diamond, then
cashed the ace of diamonds. North
showed out. Bergen now had pref
ty good count on South hand. He
knew that South had held five dia-
mondS and two clubs, and had bid
hearts. Therefore, he could have
only one or two spades. If South
held the queen and one spade and
Bergen took the finesse, he would
lose the contracts as South would
cash a diamond. So he made the
safety play Of cashing the king Of
spades and then going over to the
spade ace. Even though the queen
did not drop. Bergen could safely
play a small spade now, knowing
that North would have to go in
with the queen. Thus the jack was

MEN FACED SAME PROBLEM ,
When America first got into
this war, thousands of men said
somewhat the same thing to their
women. They asked their women
to understand why they felt they
must get into the fight, without
waiting to be called.
And for the most part, the
women understood. If women put
the matter Of enlisting in the
same way, they should be able to
count on the same understanding.
Naturally, men personally would
rather their women be at home.
But so would every woman who
loves a man prefer to have him
safe at home, rather than facing
the dangers and i1ardships of war.
Yet, men listen to their con-
sciences. And so should women,

Beauties Hints
Stay Slim With
This Simple
Pre-Yule Diet
BY ALICIA HART
NEA STAFF Writer

In years gone by, have you found
that over the holidays you have
gained anywhere from three to five
pounds? And then 1t takes you al
most until spring to lose this extra
weight?
It's an unhappy climax to a
week of festivity and fun, but few
Of us save the willpower to forego
that extra helping Of turkey and
plum pudding.
So why not anticipate this, and
for a week or 10 days before Christ
mas eliminate starches and sweets
from your diet. Not only will you
lose enough weight to offset what
you most certainly will gain between
Christmas and the New Year, but
you'll relish the holiday fare ever
so much more.

New York - One Of the biggest
fashion stories for spring is sashes.
They're featured in every import
ant new York collection of tailored,
afternoon and short dinner dresses.
And their never-ending variety Of
widths, lengths, loops, bows and
streamer ends give fresh interest to
the familiar streamlined wartime
silhouette.
A sure-fire success will be the
sophisticated, buttoned- down-th
back black crepe tubular after
noon frock, tied with a little girl
sash Of purple and fuchsia satin,
its bow as big and its streamers as
long as the one on your first party

this sash may be substituted for
one Of less obvious proportions or
0 narrow black belt.
Dramatic and spirit-lifting Is
the sashed tangerine and sulphur
crepe which stole the show at q re-
cent early spring style show. The
AV' neckline Of the tangerine blouse
pllznges almost to the point where
the draped sulphur skirt is joined to
1t. An eight-inch-wide sash Of tan
gexine appliqued with sulphur coin
dots, casually looped over at the
center front, gives it undeniable dis
function.
The cummerbund Is another belt
style which sashayed past the fash
lon press time and again through
out the new collections. In lustrous
Black cire satin, 1t gives q soft dress
maker look to trinity tailored suit
Of black and white checked wool,
