The Barbara Worth Country club
is doing its part in the job of lick
ing the Axis.
Although it's not quite as easy
to see how the club is helping win
the war as the soldiers in the front
lines are doing, nevertheless, the
job is being done.
It's part is a little more subtle
than shooting a gun at a Nazi or a
Jap. What the club is doing is max
ing things run along a little more
smoothly at home so that the folks
here can unite behind the men be-
hind the guns.
A comparison with pouring oil
onto an intricate machine might
ne made. For by keeping its course
open and carrying on as best pos
sible, the club is helping do away
with the squeakS and groanS OF
a war-weary people who are push
ing with all their might to get this
period in the nations history over
with as soon as possible.
The government officials have
words for it. They call it bolster
ing civilian morale Once a week
or SO, club members band together
to share a small part of their small
allotmentS of gasoline specifically
marked for pleasure driving and go
out to the club. There they forget
their troubles for a little while as
they concentrate on getting an ex-
ira ten yards out of a drive or
making a nice approach shot to try
for birdie.

Postwar Planners Look

Back to the Stone Age is the
aim of some scientists planning the
postwar world in London. Their
purpose is not only to, make good
the bomb damage. but to provide
jobs and happy homes for every one
They are turning back the clock to
what happened on this earth more
than 100000 years ago. hoping to
find vital facts that will help to
replan the new world
They think that man has been
growing up the wrong way for
something like million years. They
do not suggest that he should walk
on all fours. but they believe that
the Mammal Age. in which we
live. has still a lot to teach man
in the better way of living, eating,

You know full well that one thing
she probably doesn't have these days
is plenty Of heat-and SO she'd well
come pretty pair Of toe toasters.
II her boiling point Is especially
high, she'd thank you for a satin
cover for her hot bottle. No longer
a sign Of age, many a hot bottle has
come out Of hiding this winter.
If she's a Saturday child who
works for a living, she probably is
secretly hankering for a breakfast
tray SO she can be a pampered darl-
ing one day in the week-even II
she has to pamper herself by cook
ing her own breakfast and popping
back into bed. If you don't want to
spend too much on this, you can
fake a big price tag by buying q
plain tray and trimming 1t with
pretty floral decals.

should have lasted much longer

Round About the House

Dear Miss NOVEL;: 1 have two
bedrooms in my house which
must be freshened up. I am not
well enough to paint them my
self and wondered If you know
Of any way that I may make
them look new without too much
expense or effort. One wall over
the radiator is badly soiled.
Whenever I touch it with a cloth
to try to clean it 1t seems to
look worse. These walls were
painted with good semigloss
enamel just two years ago. Are
there any tricks to washing
painted walls which make for
success?" MRS. D. B. C.
Answer fear If you do not
feel well enough to paint that
you would not feel that you could
scrub the walls, because 1t is not
easy. But if you can get some
help on this, here is the recipe:
First of all, be sure that you use
plenty OF warm, soapy water and
change 1t often. Use in this good
household soap powder. Get a
jar of one of the good brands of
paint cleaners. It is about the
consistency of vanishing cream,
easy on the hands and the paint
and really does the job. Use
large, "cushiony" cloths (torn-
up bath towels are fine). Dip it
