BALTIMORE. March Q.-Price
Administrator PrentisS M. Brown
had ruled today that the Maryland
Office of Price Administration was
acting entirely within legal and
proper limits in investigating excess
canned goods stocks in Baltimore
homes.
In a letter to Reuben Open
heimer, chief OPA attorney for
Maryland. M. Brown said he did
not conStmue the action Of the Bal
tlmore Office as infringing the rights
of any individual.
The letter was in reply to tele-
gram sent March 5 by Mr.. Open
heimer branding as distortions of
the facts a reported statement by
an "OPA spokesman" in Washington
criticizing the Baltimore Offices in
vesugation procedure.
Explains Investigations.
OPA investigators were said to
have visited personally three Balti-
more homes to check supplies. OPA
officials later explained the iuVeSti-
gators made the visits on requests
Of the home owners. Other inveSti-
cations we're made by telephone.
OPA said
Nfr Brown said:
I believe, Of course. that all Citi-
zenS have the right to be inyiolate
in their homes and I do not think
private homes should be searched
against the will Of the householder
except in most fragrant cases, such
as where a house is being used to
conceal black market operations
and where the full legal procedure
OF obtaining a search warrant is
obtained
Il 90 not conStrue the action Of
the Baltimore office, however. as in
fringing the rights of any individual
and I think the office was acting
entirely within legal and proper
limits in conducting the investiga-
ton in the manner it did"

investigation Of extreme cases" for
canned food boards in private homes
by OPA inspectors was left open by
Walter Gellhorn, regional OPA at
torney.
Assumes Responsibility.
Mr.. Gellhorn issued a statement
assuming responsibility for ordering
the inquiry.
Mr Gellhorn, whose region in
cludes New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, MARYLAND and the Dis
trict. said:
I'VE sent out from regional offices
in New York further instructions to
make it clear that OPA investigators
are not to enter homes to check
canned food boards without the con-
sent Of owners, and that they are
not to resort to the use of search
warrants except in extreme cases"
Mr.. Oppenheimer said the inves-
tigation was virtually completed"
last week and that his instruction
not to enter homes under any cir
cunstances' still stands in Mary
land.

New York.-You may be harboring
q criminal in your house. Ridicu-
lousp Maybe. Maybe not. But waste
Is an arch criminal today when war
conpels US to make the most Of
everything we have.
Are you wasting space In your
house? How about that second floor?
II your house Is organized Tor UNI
organized) like most, your first floor
will be overworked, because most
daily living activities 60 on there,
and your second floor will have a
"stepchild" room that Is used either
as O catch-all for storage or as q
spare" room, which Is seldom oc-
cupied.
These are days when, because OF
transportation dif1cultieS, guests
often come for one extended visit,
instead Of several week.ends during
the year. Also, due to housing short
ages, many families are doubling up.
So every householder should con-
slider making every bit Of space in
the house pay Its way In service.
With ingenuity, little trouble and
expense, you can send this criminal"
To reform school, making 1t o useful
member Of society by Transforming
1t into a guest room (for q paying
guest, perhaps, q sewing room for
the family seaItlstreSs, o coy up

can relax when there Is too much
noise downstairs, an Isolation

an "o61ce" for whoever does the
household accounts. Once started,
you can probably think up other
uses, according TO your own needs.
To make this cluttered up "step.

need, Of course, Q bed. A daybed Is

1t Is low and comfortable to sit on.
A lucky householder who boasts Of
two, can make q very attractive
unat by hitting them into a corner,
with o corner table between them.
Another bedroom necessity Is q
chest Of drawers. In almost. every
attic there Il at least one homely
old bureau or chiffonier, which can
be made presentable by cutting of
the legs, changing the g1HncracE
hardware on the drawers to simple
wooden knobs and removing the
mirror. ~''-,--.
Paint literally covers q multitude
Of sins" with these pieces. II the
bureaus general lines aren't too
good, let them discreetly fade into
the general background by painting
the bureau the color Of the walls.
A dressing table Is q great con-
venience, but It must have two uses.
In the implanted furniture Of most
stores, wou will find a piece which
will serve as both O desk and dress
Ing table.
Two pedestals Of drawers give
plenty Of space for cosmetics, toilet
articles, pencils, ink and the family
account books. The fiat top Of this
dressing table-desk Lifts up. The
underside Of the nap has q makeup
mirror, and the space below can be
used for powder ana lipsticks. A
simple stool, Of the right height,
serves both as dressing table bench
and desk" chair.
II your revamped spare room must
also serve as q sewing machine, you
can turn the sewing machine into
o dressing table by having the local
carpenter, or family handiman cut O
top for you slightly larger all around
than the top Of the machine. Cover
the top and sides Of this board with
fabric, which Is tackled underneath.
Then hang from the edges skirt
long enough to reach the floor. The
skirt must be slit at the side Of
the front, and may be sfirred or
pleated, according to the nature OF
the material. Then set the Skirted
board on the machine, and you have
achieved something like o big tea
coy which completely camoufiages
the machine.
Most Of the drawer space will, Of
course, be Allied with sewing mate.
rails, but one Of the lower ones can
be used for cosmetics. Hang q mirror
on the wall above the sewing
machine dressing table.
When the "step- child" room Il not
converted into o bedroom, the neces-
sary furniture, aside from the desk,
might consist Of q large table, the
right height for serving refresh-
inents, bridge playing or laying out
the sewing. Ample seating capacity
can be had from two comfortable
easy chairs, one straight chair, the
dressing table stool and the daybed.

War Industry Holds Hint
For Husbands Who Cant
Understand" Their Wives
WE, THE WOMEN

to teach them what women are like
But unfortunately that Is seldom
true. In their personal relations
with women, men usually assume
they know all about them. The hus-
band who doesn't understand his
wife doesn't try to find out why
she acts as she does. He Just says
to himself, "Well, that's woman
for you" and lets 1t 60 at that.
BUT THEY WON'T
Industry Is interested, Of course,
because It wants to get as much
work and cooperation out Of It's
women workers as 1t Is possible
to get.
Husbands might also seek ways
Of getting more cooperation and
understanding from the "little
woman"
But chances are that even the
war plant boss who Is doing his
best to understand the women work
ing In his factory goes home at
night and says, III that amt Just
like q woman" when his wife does
something he can't UNDERSTANDING

tude toward women's makeup into

We are stretching meat out like
elastic these days; and when we
don't have meat to stretch, we cook
up something else. We are almost
coming to the conclusion that we
are having more flavoursome food,

we used to have in the old days Of
easy, lazy cookery.
Once again, we are learning the
fun Of flavouring with q mischiev-
