Humidity Causes
Wood to Warp

When the front door swels, the
bureau drawers stick, the dining
table warps and the ironing board
bulges, blame the weather, say wood
experts Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Wood,
especially unfinished wood, absorbs
moisture from the air in warm,
humid weather and swells. While
the wood Is swollen not much can
be done except to ease tight places
by rubbing with wax. But later
when furnace heat has dried out
the house and brought the wood
back to normal size, coat the under
side OF tables and other unfinished
wood surfaces with yarnish or wax
to prevent the wood from taking In
SO much moisture again.
The bulged board that adds to
home ironing difficulties Is q prob
lem to many homemakers. Ironing
boards are usually unfinished and
kept In damp laundries or kitchens.
In Ironing, steam from damp
clothes Is driven down into the
wood. Wood experts advise buying
. thoroughly seasoned board ct
, least an inch and half thick, be-
cause thick wood warps less than
thin, and giving 1t several all-oyer
coats Of good spar varnish. Cleats
OF hard wood nailed to the under
dde Of the board help hold 1t nat.
Keep the board In = dry place.

are getting old enough and worn
enough to be ripe" for picking up
nails and tacks. You can mend
small damaged spots ON tires and
tubes with self -vulcanizinE putty
which comes in jars and is mod
erately priced. It is surprisingly
easy to repair these spots If the
directions on the jars are followed
carefully. Here's brief outline
use sandpaper around the worn
place, clear OF any dust and apply
coat of cement. The putty is then
pressed on thoroughly and left over
night to cure.

Lotions Benefit
Both Oily and
Dry Skins
By Patricia Lindsay

It is true that the cosmetic In
dustry has women somewhat con-
fused with the names they have
given their products. For instance
many women wonder what Skin
lotion" Is and whether it should
be used on oily or dry compilations
There are several kinds Of skin
lotions. For the oily skin there are
two-an astringent lotion and a
refreshing lotion, slightly less
astringent. For the dry face only
one-a refreshing lotion.
These lotions are usually clear
and are used after . cleansing
cream or lubricating cream has
been removed from the skin.
II your skin is oily the chances
are an astringent lotion, chilled
with Ice, will keep your skin
smoother and less moist. 1t is
supposed to help firm flabby muscles
and help exercise lazy skin pores
through which too much oil exudes.
After you remove cleansing cream,
or after you wash your face with
soap and water, you may apply the
chilled lotion to your face with a
piece of fresh cotton. Then slap
your face gently until 1t is dry.
II you removed tired makeup,
let us say at the office, your skin
benefits If you refresh 1t with a
lotion. This lotion may be less
astringent than the one described
above, and 1t actually takes the
place of a soap and water washing.
It tends to strip the pores Of ex-
cess oil and leaves the skin clean
for fresh makeup.
The dry skin complexion may be
sensitive to. the local water, which
might be hard or which might con-
tain something irritating. Or the
skin may be very sensitive to soap
and water II such is the case a
skin lotion" is very helpful aid.
It may be used on the face instead
Of water, or it may be used to cleanse
the skin of any excess face cream.
II 1t Is chilled 1t is doubly salts
factory.
Skin lotion for dry skin is nat
urally only mildly astringent. In
fact three or four which are on the
market are expertly blended with
lovely oils which aim to keep the
skin soft and soothed. Any dry
skin lady may use skin lotion
after she uses her cleansing cream
or she may use the lotion in the
morning to remove any night cream
which might remain on her face
If used with fresh cotton 1t can
efhciently wash" the skin after a
cleansing cream has removed most
Of the CRIME.

eshirt" are favorites with some OF
the college crowd. We also saw very
attractive dormitory slippers bright
wool sox with felt sole attached with
contrasting crochet platform.
They'd not only be wonderful toe
toasters, but would save wear and
tear on the good rationed beauties.
Prepare, too, for those wartime
activities such as nursery school and
share re-the-work programs. At many
colleges, you know, you make your
own beds, do your own dusting. A
fine clothes-saver would be . blue
cotton wraparound that covers you
and the occasion-efdciently.

womanly prerogative! We said be-
fore that college fads are out for

It's the fad Of seeing how smart you

you'd better skip these.
In choosing dresses. be on the
lookout for good clean lines such
as in the dress photographed on
this page. You'll want at least
one such classic-in gabardine, soft
wool or flannel. Zone smart flannel
we liked has saddle-stiching and
covered buttons from top to bottomo
For q second dress, one Of the
smartest choices would be one of
the new tworpiece wool jersey Jump
er dresses because the jumper
blouse gives you good extra blouse
to wear with your skirts and your
suit. You may also want q softer.
more feminine wool to wear for
weekends and for town. To these,
add one good little black dress and
you're set. Not just any black
dress, but one that's outrageously
becoming so that you can count
on it to do its stuff for you when
That Man comes home on furlough.
All me-these are competitive times
when it comes to men!
Pin your faith on pinafores, too
at least one. The pinafore is the
kind of quickie fashion that gets you
to breakfast with fireman speed.
This year there are as many types
of pinafores as there are types OF
girls-and to them you'll hithc your
sweaters and blouses. Some button
down the front, others at the side.
Bright felt appliques or edges Of
rickrack or fringe sometimes add .
bright touch. You may like one In
corduroy, while your friend will 60
for gabardine. We liked the flannel
one with the waistcoat front,
pinched-in waiSt-also the gray
flannel suit with the skirt that be-
comes pinafore with flip Of the
wrist and a pair Of removable
checked suspender straps. One day
you wear it as q pinafore, the next
you wear it solo with sweaters. An
other double-play ptnafore Is OF
black velvet which scores for day
with tailored shirt and for eve
ming with a fiattering rufdy blouse.
The shoes you'll want are your
old loves-saddle shoes. moccasins
and the like. You'll thank your
stars for their comfort II your war
work requires you to stand on your
feet. When it comes to shoes, we
don't have to tell you to buy no
