the wives of war workers are buy
ing the best in clothes-many of
them for the first II in their
lives
The toWner of a speciality shop in
Seattle, Wash told a New York
Telegram reporter that her
store recently sold twenty-five $125
suits in two days.
One woman, who said she lived in
trailer, walked into the shop and
bought suit that cost $98, an alli-
gator bag TO go with it for $65, an
S18 pair of shoes and $25 hat.
Stories like that burn up a lot
of people But usually the people
who throw up their hands in horror
at such tales are people who have
always had money to spend; pee
pie who have always been able to
afford the best.
They think it is terrible Of war
workers to be throwing thei. money

Well, it isn't very patriotic-or
very smart. Lu5 the war workers
wife who spent more than 5000
on one spring outfit isn't entirely
to blame.
Those expensive items were for
sale Was it any worse for her to
buy them than for a person used to
having money to walk in, select
them and ask to have tEem charg-
ed?
If anything, the war workers
wife probably got bigger kick uuC

who had always worn G." StCes
WHY MAKE EN-?
If it's wrong for a war workers
wife to buy a $98 suit-then we
shouldn't be manufacturing 1913
suits, or SOS alligator bags.
AS long as they are for sale it
is no worse lor one woman to buy
them than for Gr3ther.
And it is asking a little too much
of human nature tf tempt women
who for the first time have lots
of money to spend-to leave the
best things in the shops and Con-
scientiously stick their money into
war bonds, while they go on wearing
inexpensive clothes as always.
If they shouldn't be bought
they shouldn't be offered for sale

DIDN'T SHOW UP
, Operators did not show up for a

A union spokesman asserted the
operators absence signalled the
collapse of the Appalachian joint
wage conference.
Ickes announcement of the 81
day fine raised a storm of protest
from union officials here as well as
in the coal fields. Lewis called the
action unwarranted and illegal and
said it was brutal application of
economic sanctions against free
citizens"
