WASHINGTON, d. G.. - (SNS)
The uniforms of the WAACS,
look pretty enticing as they flash
about the streets. Even the overalls
of WOW (woman o-dliance work
err holds considerable allure. But
there's another important feminine
uniform in Uncle Sans army i.
the one consisting of a housedress
or coverall apron, dressed up some
times with pair of work gloves
or dust cap.
Right now all you wearers of
that last uniform are being asked
to perform special service for
your country Ill.,. one for which no
medals will be awarded, no public
recognition given -. but which
nevertheless is virtually important
to winning the war.
To win the war, we must have
not only the right men in the field,
but also the right workers in the
right war jobs. There is a shortage
of skilled workers in at least two
dozen war occupations. To fill these
empty places, new workers must be
obtained, but ONLY from indus
tries not now engaged in war pro-
duction.
The service which Uncle Sam is
asking the housedress army tc per-
form is to become, in effect, a re-
cruiting officer and help get the
right workers into these occupa-
tons.
This doesn't mean going after
such jobs yourself; time is short
and it takes long experience to at
tain the skill required for efficient
production in these jobs. But If you
know any one who can qualify
for one of these skilled occupations
in which shortages exist, and who
is not now in essential war pro-
duction, you can try to persuade
that worker to change to essential
war industry.
| One of the family (even a hus-
banO, a relative, a neighbor, fell
low church member -. they're
all prospects for your persuasion
Probably it won't be easy to talk
to them on such subject as
changing job which they like and
where they've been for long
time. But it wasn't easy for those
Army nurses who were left on Cor
regidor, either. And it isn't easy
for the men who are saving the
Solomons.

BIemishes Of
Skin Can Be

Syndicate, Inc.)

In the old days when beautifying
was considered sinful, a woman
had to bear with her beauty griefs.
What a lot of unnecessary un-
happiness there must have beenl
II Nature had seen fit to give
Mary Jane a mustache, that was
that. Nothing should be done
about it. No doubt Mary Jane de-
veloped neuroSis and made her.
self terrible nuisance to her
family.
1t is not so many years ago that
physicians Scorned to give atten-
ton to facial defects, explaining
that they were dealing with life
and death, couldn't be bothered
with trifles. Now the plumpie can
go to her family doc, get a diet
list, slenderize her shape. Dermo-
tologists of high standing in the
medical profession treat diseases
of the scalp, blemishes of the skin.
We have learned a lot and so
have they. Everybody knows that
small worries and sorrows can
have a devastating effect upon
the health and nervous system.
FEELS BETTER
A woman feels better when she
looks well, even when she's sick. If
you know what we mean.
Plastic surgery has become re-
spectacle. If woman had a face
lift years ago she was considered
silly or crazy.
Among blemiShes that are not
minor defects are the red points
OF acne, birthmarks, moles, scars,
warts. Vaccines and rays are used
in treatment of acne. It has been
found in many cases that a diet
deficiency has something to do
with the trouble. Seventy per
cent Of the victims of this un.
slightly disease are victims of con-
stipation. When pimples appear
on the faces of young boys and
girls, medical treatment should be
had. To fuss with pustules, to
press out the contents. is to
spread the infection. And that's
what children do.
Some birthmarks can be treated
with success, especially in child
hood. Preparations can be bought
that will cover them.
ZINC OXIDE HELP
Light scars, if of recent origin.
VIII sometimes disappear if ONT

Williams of Chicago. She attended
Summed High School IN st. Louis
and later the University of Illinois
for two years. Only 20, and the
mother of baby boy, she operates
the intricate reproduction machin-
cry at the sub depot here. She and
her co-worker are specialists in the
handling of the Autograph, multi

that furnish circular, bulletins and
other reading matter to thousands

her co-worker, halls from San An

Miss Porter received training at

From the Quaker City comes
charming Miss Helen f. Allie to

ness of laboratory technician at
the base hospital. She finished the
Noun: Sinai Laboratory school
and earned the nurses certificate
at Mercy hospital in Philadelphia.
She is a resident nurse in Tuskegee
and rides 20 miles each day to fill
her job as a technician.
Probably the first Negro woman
aircraft dispatcher is lovely and
petite Miss Cecilia Dixon of Co.
lurnbia, S. G. A former West Vir-
GINA State coed and dancing star,
she clans the AKA as her sorori-
ty. Miss Dixon shelved her social
duties for war duties, and now

plump, housewife is a former Still

Last but not least Of the versatile
group of skilled ground crew per-

Reid of Atlanta. Miss Reid, al

BITUMINOUS COAL
 BUYERS PROTECTED
Emergency Ceiling Prices Fixed By OPA on All
 Grades of Soft Coal

'"ro protect those householders who may have to turn to the use of bituminous coal in the event of a shortage of anthracite" Chester Bowles, State OPA Director, today moved to fix emergency ceiling prices on all grades of soft coal available in Connecticut.
 ] Though maximum prices for bi- luminous coal are established under the permanent price regulations Bowles explained, selling margins oi the majority of dealers are based on large quantity sales for commercial use.
 Obviously, these ceilings, il maintained in cases of one or two ton sales to householders, would not enable dealers to supply small coal users," the OPA chief said.
 Describing the new maximum price of bituminous coal sold tc householders as "an emergency measure" Bowles said 1t provides the dealer with simple method oi computing a ceiling which will re- turn him 8 fair profit and insure that soft coal will be available for people who convert their oil burn.

postponed pending further investi- gation of heating conditions and study of what business leaders and various building owners of the city win do.
 Finklestein Opposes
 A motion made by Attorney Nath- aniel R. Bronson for closing all law ofices on one day was opposed first by Attorney Alfred L. Flnklestein, who stated many lawyers offices are in buildings that will be heated anyway and that closing would not involve a practical reason. Tt would be a futile and foolish gesture for lawyers to close down." he stated, calling attention to their duties to the public.
 MT. Finklestein stated that in one building several doctors will hold of- flee hours on Monday, despite the closing down plans, and that since the building will have to be heated for them there is no reason why the lawyers in the same building should not continue their usual Monday schedule. Attorney Ralph Coppeto was among those expressing similar views.
 Attorney Walter W. oager, snil- ingly deplored the view, stating that Ills office is in a building which may remain heated on Mondays but he felt the conservation effort will fail if there is not universal syrn- pathy for 1t. He stated 1t would not be just for some lawyers to re- main open just because they were fortunate enough to have heated building and to continue to serve their clients, while other lawyers had to face shut-down.
 Good Idea!
 When one opponent to the pro- posal for statewide closing of bus iress activities on Monday stated his office was in building housing apartments and he saw no need for closing his off1ce, an associate face- tiously and with little bitterness shouted, "Let's all move into his offlce."
 Calling attention to selfish motives of members of the bar, Attorney Marcus H. Weisman stated that the purpose of the closing down plan was an effort to promote the welfare of the community as a whole, and Individuals should be willing to make personal sacrifices, stating that 8 one-day shutdown, if universal, would create the desired results.
 The meeting was called by Attor- rley Finton J. Phelan, president of the her association, after several lawyers expressed the belief that the association should show its sup port C the governors conservation views.
