We see a lot of the British

have made in the past they have
paid for. They are simply tops;
my admiration knows no bounds.
So to all who will listen, please
say that were it. not for the
British, you'd probably be Won

would visit you. They are fine
soldiers. ....
One of the British units en-
tertained our Field Hospital at
dinner and it was grand. The
Commanding Officer told me
the morale had gone up 100 per
cent among his officers!
am going to a French dinner
tonight. Three of us are being
dined by some French general
and staff. Neither the French
nor the English have women
anywhere near the front; SO
they think we nurses who travel
with the American soldiers are
simply wonderful! And how alb

not allowed to go! 49,.
We go 81 miles to take a bath

French General. Quite some
thing to remember. He reminded
me of my father-a shorter man
but his facial appearance surely
would be comparable. He had
more vitality ana seemed young
for so high a rank. He spoke
no English so we had an inter-
prefer and got along very well.

asked me for one of my insignia
to wear as a good luck charm.
In return, he gave me his rib

the highest award France can
give-and very few have it. An
English-speaking French officer
told me it is really valuable, so

I will undoubtedly pull my blan-

SAFETY FACTS Latest fig
ures Of the U. S. Labor depart
ment make us wonder again if
it isn't safer to be on a battle
front than on the industrial
front at home. The 20 months
prior to the first of this year,
43 500 workers were reported
killed in industry, while 258, 900
lost an eye, finger hand, arm or
leg. Injuries laid up $500, 900
workers an average of three
weeks each. When we consider
that the record of accidents in
the home is even worse, it's diff
ficult to decide just where the
individual is likely to be safest.
Probing the subject, a promin-
ent psychologist recently con-
Guided that the safest place to
be in normal times is ION an
ocean liner or in a Pullman car,
and Pullman figures seem to
bear him out. In the 1930-1940
decade, Safety Director Harry
Guilbert reports, Pullman car
ried approximately 1913 million
passengers nearly 90 billion
passenger miles with an average
of only IT. fatalities per year. In
five of the years, there were no
fatalities at all. Total Pullman
fatalities for the entire decade
was less than the number of
persons who met death every
five hours by motor vehicle in
1941.
KEEPING CUSTOMERS - War
production has done strange
things to populations, and in
some cases has taken markets
away from individual businesses.
Often the solution has been for
business to move with the pOpu-
lation to the war production
centers. But electric utility CON-
panies can't do that. Two Pacific
Northwest companies, the Wash
ington Water Power Co. and the
Idaho Power Co., saw the pop
ulations dwindling in their
areas, with resultant closings of
machine shops, stores, restaur-
ants and food processing plants.
They found an answer, however.
They set up a program to en-
courage small factories to
change over to war production.
They acted as lialson between
small business men and prime
contractors, and in turn with
government agencies. They adj
vised on current procurements
and wartime priorities and pro-
cedures, helped fill out govern
ment questionnaires, interpreted
drawings and specifications,
helped prepare bids, and helped
arrange financing. Officials OF
Washington Water Power Co. re-
viewed results and found they
had helped their own customers
to get more than a million dol
lars in war contracts, which en-
abled them to continue buying
electricity and employing work
ers, who thus did not move out
of the territory.

Walking On Hips Keeps Them Slim, FlattenS Stomach
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

When all other exercises fail to slim you down to the proportions you want to be- says Metropolitan Opera soprano Annamary Dickey, "try walking on your hips"
 One of regular routine of ex- ercises which the singer does each day to keep in trim, walking on her hips is really not as much of contortion as it sounds.
 Here is the way to do it:
 Begin by sitting on the floor, legs together and stretched out straight in front of you. Place your hands lightly on your knees. Now walk on your hips, taking as long a stride" with each hip as possible. Do this 25 times forward and the same number of times backward.
 Not only is it an excellent eX- ercise to reduce hips" Miss Dickey has discovered, but it also strengthens muscles of the stom- ach and abdomen"
 And of course, this means that with slim hips and fiat stomach, clothes will look twice as well on you. For, being well dressed de- bends as ouch on how you wear clothes as it does on good style sense.

 Knoxville, Tenn.-Victory garden CTS planning to preserve by drying some of their fruits and vegetables will be interested in the newest model of home dehydrator develop ed by the agricultural research staff of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the University of Tennessee. Easily made by home handyman or local carpenter, it embodies seV- eral new features, including double utility as a cabinet for sulphuring fruits.
 This new kitchen model, develop ed to aid the wartime food program by enabling owners of small gardens to preserve their products, has a ca pacity of from 10 to 25 pounds of fruits or vegetables. Five 200-Watt electric lamps, in an assembly that is removable, supply the heat, while an ordinary household fan circulates air among the trays, which are of gas. A pedestal fan can now be used and it can be lifted out of the cabinet whenever desired.
 By removing the fan and the frame holding the light bulbs, the cabinet may be used for sulphuring fruits. Incidentally, sulphuring is for fruits only, before dehydration, to maintain quality and color. A sulphur candle or loose sulphur may be burned in container beneath the trays of the dehydrator. Sul-

phuring time for apples is 30 min utes, for pears 25 minutes and for peaches 35 minutes, with 30 minutes the average for most fruits.
 Critical materials will be released with WIPE blessing, for the con- mercial manufacture of about 10O,- 900 home dehydrators, at a cost of from $20 to $50 and rationing sys- tenn is being worked out to insure equitable distribution.
 In addition the Department of Agriculture will soon publish in- structions for building inexpensive top -the-oven, bird-cage and oven drying racks for home dehydrating operations. The bird-cage type is suspended above the kitchen stove; the oven racks are placed in the top grooves of the oven and are particularly suitable for city dwell CTS with small kitchens.
 However, according to Tennessee University expert G. A. Shuey, racks and dryers which utilize the heat of stoves have the disadvantage of requiring rather close supervision to avoid overheating and injury to the foods, which also may spoil if heat is not applied continuously Dryers of this type depend on nat ural draft to induce air flow through the product, he says, and the VOL ume and speed of the air may be adequate for rapid and uniform drying.

 Washington, June 12,-OPA has given up trying to endorce price ceilings on restaurant and drug store foods you buy and take home. Too much trouble. Until OPA de- vises some efficient price ceiling system, the sky'll be the limit on the prices a druggist or restaura- teur may charge.

cold" is not due to rose pollen. which because of it's size and weight is not air-borne, but is due to the pollens of ,.rasses. The autumnal type of hay-fever, which lasts till front, is due to the pollens of the rag-WeedS.
 Such are the common causes of seasonal hay-fever. Occasionally other pollens are responsible for discomfort, hut because of the fact that they are not widely diffused, exposure must be more direct, as in smelling the actual plants, r in the environs of a florists shop. SYMPTOM VARY
 The manifestations of hay-fever may vary considerably. They may be restricted to a swollen nasal mucous membrane, with frequent sneezing, and an irritating mucous discharge. Often the eyes are con- gested, watery, itchy, and even swollen. The more severe cases may develop asthma after the hay-fever has become established.
 In conjunction with these local evidences, there is usually a gen. eral lassitude and malaise which makes any effort at activity ex- tremely difficult. The symptoms may cause a sufficient loss of sleep to exhaust the victim. Frequent ly, mild hay-fever may be mis- taken for "cold," but the regu- lar onset at about the same time each year, coinciding with the pol lination of the offending plant, readily clarifies the picture.
 As result of the injury to the membranes of the nose and sinuseS, and particularly because of the ob- struction of the normal airway from swelling, secondary infection of the nasal sinuSes is common and may cause at least part of the symptoms to continue longer than the period of pollination.
 There is no satisfactory way to be happy after the hay-fever sea- son starts. Those who have sought region relatively free from pollen are not going to find that course so easy this year. Those who have satisfactory room -ventilator or air-cleaner can be comfortable part of the inc at least.
 MASKS, FILTERS USELESS
 Masks and nasal filters are of lit- te or no practical valae. The most important drugs are those capable of constructing blood-vessel5. Ephe- drine-hydrociiloride or sulphate, U.

 Plan Versatile Menus For OverlappingMeals
By GAYNOR MADDOX (NEA Staff Writer

Overlapping meals in families can disrupt family morale. The follow ing passage, quoted from the new book Eat Well for Less Money gives helpful advice on the subject:
 When member of the family works at night, the meal problem becomes particularly complicated for the menu planner. The chil- dren's meal routine usually does not change, but the workers meals must be served at unusual times. This is a problem that can be solved by careful planning and a knowledge of food values.
 One answer is the overlapping meal, that is, one which serves two purposes. It may seem a bit incon- gruous at first, but actually the same foods can be served for the chil- dren's breakfast and the workers

WARTIME HEALTH COLUMN-- Preseason Im1nunization Shots Best Treatment For Hay Fever

S. P. F percent aqueous or isotomic solution, is a typical example. Two or three drops in each nasal cavity several times a day will give partial and temporary relief. An inhaler containing amphetamine is conven- tent and gives much relief to per sons who are not sensitive to the drug.
 The important treatment of sea- sonal hay-fever is immunization, which in a very high percentage of cases (80 percent to 90 percent) gives complete or at least very sat- isfactory relief. This procedure must be undertaken by physician and the prophylactic injections must be started about ten weeks in advance of the season.

 Vertatile Foods
 Fruits, either steWed, canned or fresh, hot enriched breads, waffles, griddle cakes or French toast are suitable for both meals. Whats more, waffle or griddle cake batter can be kept in the refrigerator, for later cooking, without deteriorating.
