False Fingernails
Boon to War Women
By ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

Now it's artificial flngernails TO
go with your artificial eyelashes.
A Park Avenue beauty salon has
them and they look like natural
for that extra special occasion that
calls for your peek-a-boo cocktail
or dinner dress.
The expert who puts them on
says that ladies who drive canteen
trucks, typewrite, and do manual
labor are mighty excited about the
custoln-made composition tips .
using them to cover broken or In
jured nails, and also to stop nall
biting. They're pliable, heatproof,
waterproof. They go on with special
adhesive, and every time a set Is
made, the dummy goes into the ex-
pert's mail index" Thereafter, the
lady can replenislh her supply at
once. Many women can apply their
own.
You've heard OF artificial lashes,
but these new ones may be purple,

Bury the Hatchet

In the midst of war, and to the detri- ment of the public, the battle to destroy electric utility holding companies con- tinues unabated. Weaknesses in public regulation which resulted in nismanage- ment of few such companies years ago, have been and are being corrected, but this has nothing to do with attempts to liquidate the comapnies in entirety.
 The perennial argument against the holding companies has been that they unjustifiably absorb the profits of the operating companies by excessive charges for various services of dubious value. Yet, according to Elisha M Friedman, well known economist, a survey of 636 utility companies furnishing more than 95 per cent of the total service of private utili- ties in the United States shows that the subsidiary companies in holding con- pany systems supplied consistently bet ter service at lower rates than independ- ent companies. Moreover, in the words of Mr. Friedman: By 1929, over 80 per cent of the electricity generated and 98 1-2 per cent of the electricity sent across state lines was controlled by hold ing companies. Without holding con- panies, our electricity supply would have been confined to areas of dense popula- tion, as in England. From 1912 to l942, our total kiloWatt-hour output increased 123 times, but the total revenue only 8.4 times. The average rate per kiloWatt- hour in residential use decreased from 87 cents to 3.7 cents, a decrease of 58 per cent. But the cost of living increased 68 per cent.
 "Not only in peace, but in war, are the holding companies performing efficient service. They have been persecuted since 1885. Yet they anticipated power re- quirements. They averted power short ages by interconnection between holding companies.' They reduced rates since 1889, when all other selling prices rose. We have rationed many necessities from suger to shoes, but electricity is unra- toned"
 Representative Lyle H. Boren has in- troduced bill to suspend the "death sen- tence" clause of the Public Utilities Act. This clause has been swung like an ax at the heads of utility arrangements for several years. Its blows have cut deep into the operating efficiency of more than one holding company. The morale of all private industry would receive an invaluable lift if Congress would bury this ax in the legislative wastebasket.

A Safe Bet

Secretary of the Navy Knox has pre- dicted crude oil shortage within year, and exhaustion in IA to 20 years of pres ent known supplies. Almost these same words were used during the last World War, and then the oil industry evolved new drilling methods, found new fields, greatly increased the products taken from crude oil, and gave our nation the greatest supply of oil products on rec ord.
 There was incentive to do the job. If our lawmakers and regulators will but give the oil industry half chance and allow fair return for the risk involved, it is safe bet that this country won't be out of oil in one year, or twenty years
 Cut the red tape before an artificial shortage is created, and give American enterprise a chance to meet any emer- gency. Any other policy will be fatal to nation that uses gasoline and oil pro- ducts almost as freely as water.

aIlQ planned CO LuSOn
 build, the city council of Quebec has dclared the site in residential or business or otherwise restricted dis trict, and has denied the building permit. More recently, the Quebec Jews have acquired another site, to avoid the objections to their earlier locations. And now the city fathers have brought forth the objection that this new site is intended for future development as a city park.
 Eventually this case will reach the supreme court of the province, but here is practical problem of racial relations the like of which will be confronting local communities all over the world, no matter how broad the principles of any political doc trines that may be laid down at Quebec or later conferences.
 ANOTHER LOCAL HAPPENING coincident with the holding of the Quebec Conference-and which also points up the strangle-hold with which intolerance still grips the prejudices of mankind as a real ob- stacle to unity-was apparent in the editorial reaction toward this confer ence.
 Printed in a Quebec Frenc -lan- guage newspaper, L'Action Catho- lique, the editorial began like this |. "Stalin, will not come to Quebec. We rejoice.
 His presence would have spoiled the pleasure we have and tarniShed the pride we show in welcoming the political and military leaders of the United Nations"
 This editorial, appearing just at a time when everyone else was be- moaning the fact that the Soviet would not be represented at the Quebec Conference, fell like con- tinental blockbuster that was felt all over the Dominion.
 THE EDITORIAL WAS DE- NOUNCED by the English language press in Canada as gross piece of bad taste and calculated effort to create and intensity distrust among the Allies and there 1t seems to die. But deep-seated prejudices like the two examples cited above can be found all over the world. and they are important to recognize at this time because they illustrate how diff ficult the problems of the peace con- ference are going to be.
 People living south of the U s. Canadian border and unfamiliar with Canadian affairs may think of the Dominion as one vast expanse of territory with people united behind the British war effort. save maybe for the defections in Quebec.

King save on one occasion, when by mistake he entered a room expect ing to meet his superior officer and met his sovereign instead. The King was probably less than hundred feet away fgrom his messenger every day during these years, yet the messenger never saw him but once.
 This is parable of our spiritual lives. God is very near to all of us, ad yet we seldom have close and friend ycontact with Him. The incl dent related above is particularly a parable for ministers and religious workers. So often they carry the di- vine message to others, and yet themselves seldom see the King. Once in a while in some moment of prayer or exaltation, they have the thrilling experience of walking into His presence. Bt most of the time they carry message, which they know to be from the Kings own hand, yet seldom do they see the hand or hear the voice.

Lord Mountbatten for Burma Blow

We have General Dwight D. Eisenhower ir, North Africa, and General Douglas MacArthur in the Southwest Pacific And now we have Lord Louis Mountbatten for the newest military command in South east. Lord Mountbatten, cousin of King George VI, leader of England's spectacular CommandoS, iS the first EngliShman ap- pointed for the supreme Allied command Under him will be the strong and threat sning forces comprised of American Chinese, Canadian and vast Indian armies, primed for the coming Burma 3low.
 Once again the Burma Road comes in- ,o the limelight as a way into China, and ,he Southeast has the attention and con- cern of all who are following the day by day program in all theaters of the war.
 Said the announcement: "It has been decided to set up a separate Southeast Asia command for the conduct of oper- ations based on India and Ceylon aginst Japan. . . The King ha sbeen pleased to approve the appointment of acting Vice-Admiral, the Lord Louis Mountbatten, to be supreme Allied con- mander, Southeast Asia"
 From all accounts the selection of Mountbatten is happy choice since he has the stamina, sometimes called guts, to take over, and in his Commando oper- ations has learned some cagey points in that type of approach, attack and fol- low-up Doubtless he is logical leader for the job, and as the popular saying goes, has what it takes for the Burma business at hand He has advanced pretty steadily, from midshipman to Vice. Admiral in the British Navy. Now all eyes will be on him for the new job-Allied command in Southeast Asia
