lapel pins are disappearing from
the cases almost as fast as they
are put there. Victorian, South
American, Chinese, Californian
and assorted other influences are
popping up in jewelry assort-
ments everywhere and their pop
ularity is attested to not only by
the numbers seen in the stores,
but also by the quantity being
worn. Whimsical, sophisticated
or significant jewelry is available
according to your desires. 1t may
be nonsensical and inexpensive or
really striking and costly. And
you'll wear your jewelry this year
as an important part of your cos
tune, high lighting it in your en-
semble and not merely adding it
as an after-thought.
A recent report from New
York, by the way. tells of the last
word in sentimental jewelry-a

Beeswax, Formerly in Cosmetics,
Playing Important Role in War
By Rebecca U0Oduard,

Before the war the cosmetic in
dustry took most of our domestic
crop" of beeswax and in addi-
ton imported thousands of
pounds each year from Europe
and South America. 1t was used
as the stiffening base in making
better grades of cream rouge. lip
stick, eyebrow pencils and face
creams. But the war has diverted
beesWaX into channels far re-
moved from the Identification of
mllady's face and manufacturers
must now look elsewhere for their
cosmetic wax.
BeesWaX has an important war
time job. Less affected by heat
than are the mineral wakes and
paraffin. it is being used in mu-
nltlons factories to seal bullets
into shell castings. 1t is must"

and pulleys. and for weather.

and Navy both need large sup
plies of beeswax.
In the bee world keep EN- fly
ing is the order of the day. The
Government has called on bee
keepers to produce to the limit of
their equipment and capacity.
Although strained honey is not
rated as essential to the war ef-
fort, every ounce used as a sub
stltute for table sugar, releases
Just that much more sugar to go
into the production of alcohol
which, in turn, goes into the
manufacture of gun powder. But
it is beesWaX. the by-product of

tune pieces now on hand in the
stores, one Of the biggest de-
mands is for earrings. Whether
they are gold and diamonds or
ceramics, earrings are being
bought by women of all types and
ages. Not only those whose up
swept hairdos demand them, but
also those who like the finished"
look that earrings give to a Co.'S
tune are purchasing them by the
dozen. This same idea applies to
clips, which are being worn in
f1ocks instead of pairs, and to
bracelets which appear in COM

the usual one or two. Rings have
never been more "gaudy" or, for
that matter, more effective, and
there is great emphasis on the
novelty ring known as a CONVEX

a mammoth stone, such as a to-
paz, amethyst or sapphire. or it
may be friendship ring with

Rings on Her Fingers
Jevey This Season Assuming Greater IMPORTANCE Than Eyer

The rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes, figuratively
speaking, will be just as much a
part of milady's attire as ever
this year. However, the jewelry
she selects will reflect a war
time feeling in design as we'll as
in a variation of materials.
So far, the average woman has
noticed little difference in the
costume jewelry presented for
her approval. She has heard
that shortages of materials as
well as manpower have restricted
the quantity as well as assort-
ment of adornments. In many
cases, women who have been un-
able to find just what they want
in costume pieces have turned to
real jewelry to such an extent
that this is, we are told, the best
year the retail jeweler has ever
seen. And even in good jew
elry there have been substitu-
tions such as palladium, lighter
and less expensive stand-in for
platinum. A shortage of copper
as an alloy for gold and silver
has been a problem, but some
manufacturers have been allowed
enough copper to continue max
ing some gold jewelry.
All OF which means that fine
ornaments are still being made,
despite the fact that many or
carnations which forme erly
turned out nothing but luxuries
have been converted to war work.
The mon essential" jewelry in

We say, there still are good look

to supply the demand which is
246 per cent above last year, &C
cording to accredited accounts.
Wedding rings and engage

increased sale of jeWelry, of
course, but less symbolic pieces
also have their places. Military

Children must have special
place to play this year. With most
OF us vacationing in our own
back yard 1t will be necessary for
parents to make the effort to pro-
vide equipment to keep the chill
dren occupied and content. With
the community spirit that has
grown apace since neighbors be-
gan to know each other, it is a
good idea for parents to get to-
gether and provide a suitable
type OF equipment for the various
ages on adjoining property.
The household with small chill
dren, knowing full we'll that
youngsters play best and are hap
pier in groups, might go in for
the usual kindergarten equip
ment. This may all be purchased
IN the shops. but can very easily
be fabricated at home. A sand
pile need be nothing more than
four boards nailed at the corners,
and three-cornered seats nailed
across the ends make a place to
sit and also keep the boards from
pulling out. Children from 3 to 6
love sandpile, and with a vii
lage or a fort or a mudpie sug-
gestion from. mother, few
clothespins, tin cover or two
and an old spoon as utensils they
will be diligently happy for sew
eral hours.
Asseesaw may be constructed
from a sturdy, carefully sand
papered board laid over a section
of log. 1t should not be more
than 18 inches from the ground
to make it safe for little tots. If
there is tree, put up an old
fashioned swing. Two of these
are better than one. A collection
OF small barrels and wooden boxes
can be made into wonderful
houses, castles or what have you.
Little children never tire of the
miraculous things they can con-
struct with few boxes. a board
Or two and their own imagina-
ton.
First requisite of all Of these
things is that they be finished
carefully enough so that there is
a minimum of splinters and a
dearth Of sharp nails or frayed
metal bands which might cause
severe scratches. OF course, they
are much more attractive and
last much better with coat or
two Of bright paint, but this is
not necessary to the children's
enjoyment or inspiration. All of
this takes but a small area and
six small tots in the nelghbor-
hood may revel to their hearts
content.
The neighbor with fat lawn
area and possibly a cement drive
way might cater to the teen
ayers who love hopscotch and
croquet or any of the other
lawn games. Wonderful pinball
alleys may be marked off with
colored chalk on the cement, and
the score kept in the same way.
Croquet is just as popular today

THE RAF

Britain's Royal Air Force recently celebrated its twenty-fift anniversary, mostly in ways the Nazis do not like The flying services of course, have more than a quarter of century behind them. Brtain's was born in April, 1912, and soon turned out to be twins-the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. The planes were rickety things, with speeds ranging from 65 to about l25 miles an hour. Yet the elements of air campaign ing were all visible early in the first World War. By September 1914 British planes were taking pho tographs sending wireless telegraph reports and drop ping bombs or grenades, which the pilots at first carried attached to their persons They began firing at hostile planes almost at first with revolyers and rifles, then with machine guns. The first Ger man plane brought down on August 25, 1914 On April l. 1918, the army and naval air forces were combined as the RAF. At the wars end the com bined forces had personnel that had grown prodi- giously from the total of 1914.
 This look back helps to explain why the Nazi flers did not encounter amateur pilots poor ma chimes when they came Britain in l940 The British pitifully few in number, but they were great in quality In preparation for invasion the Nazis tried knock out the British ports: they lost so many planes that they had to quit daytime raids They next turned the British landing fields: the British planes were elsewhere They attempted to paralyze the factories ant-arcraft and night fight

Concentration vs. Dispersal

Uncle Sam is busy a handed Dutch boy trying to plug leaks in hundred dikes It's true we making planes at the rate of $500 month.
 But we have to supply, in addition to all our Allies, IA major concentrations of our air power
 The Fourteenth Army Air Force has just been created in China commanded by Brigadier General Chennault. The Eighth is in England the Ninth in Egypt, the Tenth in India Thirteenth in the South Pacific, and so around the globe
 Right now we must concentrate our planes in North Africa. But must also send planes to our other fronts. We can't leave Australia undefended or Hawaii or Alaska, or Dakar or Liberia
 It is against that background we must consider the official and semiofficial heat being put on to increase the proportion of strength being sent to the Pacific.
 From General MacArthur's headquarters in Aus tralia comes statement by Admiral Conrad Helfrich, commander of Dutch naval forces in the East Indies, of oil, rubber and tin.
 It may be impossible to defeat Japan, he says, if the United Nations follow the announced plan of defeating Germany first and give the Japanese time enough to become more firmly entrenched in their million square miles of conquered territory.
 At the beginning of the year Admiral William F. Hasey Jr, said could defeat the Axis, includ- ing Japan, this year. The implication that Japan could be beaten this year if we diverted enough strength to the Pacific f

After the war there will, be no leisure class and it will be the cus- tom for girls as we'll as boys to prepare for life vacations. In the future, marriage is to be an eco homie partnership which need not interfere with homemaking. New labor saving inventions will be marvellous in their effect upon household tasks, astrologers fore cast, and cooking will be science every woman studies.
