The Office of Price Administra-

The OPA decides on the basis
of letters of complaint which
come in to Congressman, the
President, Mrs. Roosevelt, the Sec

desperation of the letters indicates
need for adjustment, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics makes sur

HAVE you considered the number
LII of delightful gifts that you can
make right in your own kitchen?
This year, especially, something
good to eat will be more than well
come. And you could not make bet
ter choice than these little Coffee
Fig Puddings. They are particu-
larly tasty because of the delightful
flavor impaired by the coffee which
is used in the recipe. There is
enough coffee now, you know, so
that we all can enjoy it as flavor
ing, as well as beverage.
This delicious Coffee Fig Pudding
makes an ideal gift . . it is both
good to eat and good to look at, tied
up in bit of gay paper. But make
enough so that your own family can
enjoy it at Christmas dinner or any
other time. Served with freshly
made, full-strength coffee it makes
a grand dessert. Also, it's just the

feminine postwar world are 60
ing to play havoc with women. If
the job of homework becomes
sirnplified, Mrs. America is 60
ing to have plenty of time on her
hands unless she has young child
rem to care for.
And if she is going to be push
ed back into the home, what is
she going to do with herself and
her leisure time?
OPPOSITE IDEAS
She is going to become prob
lem mother - and she isn't going
to be able to make happy home,
because she is going to be so rest
less and bored and sick of it all
that she is no good at the part
time job she is supposed to make
full-time.
That is bound to be what will
happen if the world of tomor-
row" enthusiasts and the back
to the home advocates both see
their dreams come true.
If there is no place for the mar
ried woman in business, industry,
and the professions in the post
war world - then her home tasks
had better not be simplified.
If they are, society must find
an outlet for Mrs. Americas EN-.
pition and energy. Shut a woman
up in a house with not enough to
do to keep her busy all day and
