WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-When
shoe rationing's bombshell f r t
burst about our ears, it spanked
a tremendous boom in shoe re-
pairs. Folks had new soles and
heels put on worn shoes that, in
normal times, they would have dis
carded. To give you an idea of
the boom, 100000 pairs of half
soles were consumed in 1910, but
the estimate for the first six
months of 1913 ups this to 49,
300, 1000 pairs. The shortages in
shoe repair leather this caused
are part of the why of the new
"one-pair- in-six-months" shoe ra-
ton probability. If "airplane"
stamp No. / in War Ration Book
3 really has to last from Nov. l
until next May, there may be an
other mass attack on the shoe
repair shops. But steps have been
taken to provide a reserve-leather
cushion against the shock. WPB
has ordered Is large leather cut
tiers to divert from military and
lend-lease supplies substantial por-
tons of the current months sole
leather output and mark it For
Shoe Repair Only"
BIGGER BOTTLES
Small-sized bottles of naraschi-
no cherries and olives will be rele-

Other bottles are coming under
more strict regulation for weight
and amount of glass.

A recent letter from reader
asks, ''What can be done for a
skin that gets oily within four or
five hours after putting ON my
make-up-and what can be done
for blackheads that pop up from
nowhere?"
She washes her face with soap
and water, she says. and also
uses a cleansing cream. For I'M
usually oily skins, however, these
two steps should be reversed.
First, the makeup and surface
dirt must be removed with a
deep-cleansing cream, and then
the skin should be bathed in
warm water and a pure CASTLE
soap.
incidentally, Georgia Carroll
probably one of the worlds most
beautiful and famous models of
all time, now featured vocalist
with Kay Kyser's orchestra-al-
ways uses soft complexion
brush in a circular motion when
washing her face. It not only does
better job of cleaning her pores,
Georgia advises, but stimulates
her skin and gives it a healthy
glow.
Just remember that blackheads
will never pop up from nowhere"
if pores are kept clean. Once
cleaned, a final touch of astring-
ent will help keep them closed to
air-borne dust.

back to it refreshed and eager in
the fall, and so she went to a
large city and got herself a joe
in business, with the understand
ing, of course, that she could only
work for three months.
She says it was one of the most
enjoyable vacations she ever
spent-in spite of the fact that
she worked full time. She had
the stimulation of living in large
city, meeting new people, getting
business woman's rather than
a teachers slant on things. And
she got kick out of the fact that
she could handle an entirely diff
ferent kind Of job.
There are a great many house
wives who have no children or
whose children are of college age
who would find that getting a
war job or an essential civilian
job would be just that kind OF
vacation"
STIMULATING VENTURE
1t would be hard work, OF
course. But the newness of it, the
resulting friendships, the sense of
power that comes from finding
you can do something besides the
job you've done most Of your life
would be as stimulating to a
woman as a vacation.
And it probably wouldn't be
much more exhausting than days
filled with bridge games, club
meetings, golf-and all the other
things leisure class women do to
kid themselves into thinking their
lives are full.

ALLIED NATIONS 4; AXIS |

The recent statements of WPB
Chairman, Donald M. Nelson, be-
fore the Canadian Club at Toron-
to serve to confirm the public's
faith in the ability of industry to
meet any emergency. Mr.. Mel.
son told the Canadians that Allied
arms output in 1914 may be al
most four times as great as that
of the Axis; that the Allies out
produced the enemy two to one
in 1912, and may reliably be
expected to out-produce the Axis
3 to l in 1913.
By the end of this year. Mr..
Nelson said, the United States
and Canada will be completing a
plane every four and two-thirds
minutes around the clock and
that the two countries have now
produced enough small arms am
munition to permit Allied soldiers
to fire more than 800 bullets at
every soldier in the Axis armies.

The Colorado Springs person
apparently doesn't know her own
country. especially her immediate
environment, which is 80 rich in
the lore of the Indian. DESPITE
the printed record of Indian sold
iers. she indicates that she is ig-
norant of the fact that they are
helping to bear the orunt of bat
tie. Very likely, she is unaware
of the fact that no group in ci-
william life are doing more t o.
wards the var effort.
To mention Hitler and the IT,
dian in same the breath. as she
does, is certainly out of place.
Again, why waste time giving
Hitler new names. We all know
W no he is and where he's going.
Why associate him with the
reptile. The Iowly reptile is a
creature born out of cruel en-.
vironment. 1t is not disgrace
to its own species as Hitler is to
his. 1t is living its own way of
life and as one ponders Mother
Natures morality in behalf of
her varied humble families W e
must appreciate the fact that if
horses and lions inherited t h e

and lion gods.

now being produced at the rate
of more than $780, 900, 100000 a

While these production figures
should bring small comfort to the

The war has not been won.
