that Italian Workmen were refus-

the nations.
This does not mean that Italy
will even then have resumed her
rightful place. 1t does mean that
the opportunity is open to the
Italian nation to win back the
place which they lost not only be-
cause of the weakness of the King
and the crimes of the Fascists, but
because for so long they them
selves were weak ana infatuated.
The redemption of Italy cannot be
achieved by surrendering to US and
by the abdication of the King.
The redemption of Italy will come
from fighting the Germans, and
making honorable amends to those
who have been the victims of Ital-
ian Fascism. By fighting the Ger
mans the Italians can win back
their self-respect. By making
amends they can win forgiveness.
We may be confident that in
the highest quarters the real is

clearly appraised. Let us keep them
clear in the public mind as well.
Let us take to heart the Injunction

to whitewash his record and to
take him to our bosoms.
1t cannot be made to clear at
this time, our Russian friends not
Withstanding, that the battle for
Italy is the battle for the heart of
Europe. Italy is no mere outpost,
and the Mediterranean is not the
sea frontier of the Continent but
the inland sea of the European
world and the main highway OF
communication between tire East
and the West. 1t is NJ acciden.
that Rome was for centuries the
capital of the ancient world, nor
was it an accident that from the
seventh to the eleventh centuries,
when Islam had closed the Medi-
terranean to the Europeans, al
commerce and intercourse Gecayed
in the cities and civiliza ion of
western Europe during the time
which our schoolbooks call the
Dark Ages.
We know nov how unerring was
the historical and stratcgical III
sight of Winston Churchill when
in TIE last war he designed. though
ullaappily, ne was no, permitted
to carry through successfully, the
campaign to open the Dardanel;es
ana TO reach Russia by sea. Had
he prevailed and succeeded then.
the world might well have been
spared the frightful slaughter on
the western front and all that fol-
lowed from the bleeding white of
the manhood of France and of
Britain.
The battle for Italy IS truly. as
General Eisenhower has said, a
main action for the decision and
not a skirmish on the perimeter.
The number of troops involved is
no true measure of its Importance.
For our object is not, as the vulgar
saying goes, to kill Germans. but
to crush the military power of
Germany.
With Italy and the Mediterra-
mean in our hands, with southern
France, the Balkan peninsula and
the Danubian plain outt.anked
and uncovered, and with the Black
Sea routes to Russia opened. the
war may not be over. But the
German position will be hopeless,
and the end will be clearly in
sight.

as- Usual. Mrs. Carlton sees her de- lection as an unavoidable result of our pre-Pearl Harhor life.
 "These women," she says, Twill be ready to make sacrifice when they are asked to, but they're just not good enough to go out and do something on their own. The war hasn't yet crne close enough to shock them out of their peace time attitude. They're not disciplined for war, any more than Britain was be- fore Dunkerque. Rather, they are conditioned to peace and a high standard of living"
 Now that Mrs. Carlton and her co-workers have an idea of why Mrs. Leisure-as-U Usual doesn't vol- linteer, they're thinking of remedies. Any volunteer work program is be- set by intangible difnculties, but Mrs. Carlton has a psychological trick which she thinks might help. It con- sists of simply shifting the em- phasis from the kind of a job a woman does to the number of hours she contributes.
 "Women are too fussy about what they want to do," says Mrs. Carlton. "Ask @ working girl to do volun- teer job, and her usual response is 'Okay, what's the addresS?' Ask a woman of leisure the same thing, and She1l say, What Is it-where do I go-with whom do I w0rk?'
 with this new plan, one woman, doing clerical work ill the police sta ton, wouldn't be jealous of another who Is running c canteen. It wouldn't be Q question of 'glamor- ouS' jobs. One woman could say I'm giving 17 hours 6 week. and the other, I'm giving 20.' And they'd both know they were doing Q needed | job." $ ''''nN'
 Another proposed solution, which could be worked out in any com llunity, Is the "block organization, in which one women would be the overall civilian defense leader foI a specific number of families in her neighborhood. Her job would be to keep them informed on all aspects of volunteer war work.
 But the greatest need, Mrs. Carl ton thinks, is for professional execu. tives and Secretarise at the head of civilian defense groups. and Q budget to work on. This, she thinks, would remove many of the inefn- ciencies, jealousies, hurt feelings and society women" stigmas attached to any volunteer organization.

 The war, at least, has cured us of adopting every dressing table tip that crosses our path. The habit of running out to try every new kind of cream that you heard performed a new kind Of won1er, went into limbo along with the habit of slath- ering on and then wiping oil great blobs of seemingly inexhaustible cosmetics,
 z Yet this is O. time for more ir- stead of less experimenting-in Q practical manner. Here are a few which are worth trying:
 Keep your face powder box closed tightly, but when the grains be- come tightly packed, stir 1t up to get 1t fluffy. It win go on more lightly, effectively. Use your nail file or @ match stick, and simply stir the powder. Caked powder is an invitation to press a surplus on to your pun and your complexion. Dip your puff lightly in the fluffed powder, apply little at time, ale low 1t to set, and then spread and blend.
 For quick, inexpensive pickup, just apply very hot and then quite cold water to your face. You can use your facecloth or your hands This simple trick applies the same principle as some pretty expensive preparations: 1t stimulates the com plexion by bringing blood to the surface and then quickly closing the pores.
 If you habitually waste lipstick by re-doing your mouth several times, check your technique. Lips should be thoroughly dry. Some beauties actually powder their lips before applying the rouge, in order to get 8 good purchase for 1t.
 This won't hurt, but a simpler procedure is to blot your lips, well with tissue. And, more important, when you have applied the lpstick and allowed it to set for a moment blot 1t on by carefully putting bit of tissue between the lips and clos- ing mouth firmly.
