idea of keeping their bodies in

a minute or so. Return TO the
squatting pose. then stand, and

Women War Workers
Must Wear Caps

A warning which applies TO
thousands of women war workers
in the whirling machine shops and
industrial plants of this area came
today from the director of the
womens bureau, United States De-
partment of Labor.
The warning. to tuck in those
curls and wear safety caps when
the job requires it, is included in
recent bulletin, the ninth in
series of pamphlets on standards
for employment of women in war
industries. The bulletin may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Women's
Bureau, U. S. Department of
Labor, and giving the reasons
for its need, or may be purchased
for five cents from the .Supt. of
Documents, Washington. D. c.
Among suggestions offered are:
Hair should be fully covered by
the safety cap to prevent scalping
and other injuries.
Electric and acetylene welders
should wear fire proof hair cover
ing to prevent serious burns.
Women exposed to dust or fumes
need covering to protect the hair
and to prevent its carrying toxic
material. For this purpose. when
there is no machine danger, a
closely woven washable turban is
good
Workers exposed to oil or grease
also need to protect the hair and
thereby aid in preventing skin
infections.

Addressing
In-LaWs
Bad Taste TO Call Wife's
Parents BY First Names
BY EMILY POST

That the epidemic of first-name-
calling which swept through GER
tain very fashionable circles
number of years ago. is stin con-
tinuing, is made evident in this
letter: Our new son-in-law has
taken to calling US Dorothy and
David because his mother and
father are living here in this town
and he told my daughter that he
can't bring himself to calling any
others, mother and father. We
are younger than his own parents
and perhaps ne may think ne is
complimenting us on our compare
tive youth. But we don't like
being called by first names by
him. We think 1T sounds disre-
spectful and can't get used to it.
What is your opinion of our point
of view. and your advice TO him ?"
AS l have already indicated, ]
agree with you. l think, more
over, that the fact that you don't
like 1t. probably means that your
friends will not like it either and
will even be prejudiced against
him. This may give you firmer
ground to support your protest
than your personel objection. In
any case you can tell him that you
understand why he does not want
to call any other people father and
mother, but at the same time your
own feelings are just as strongly
against being called Dorothy and
David by one whom you consider
son. And to this you can perhaps
add that you don't want him mis-
Judged by your own friends who
feel as you do. Mother Jones'
and Father Jones" are the old
fashioned standbys. Other posi-
bilities are mater and Pater" or
Aunt Dorothy and Uncle David"
or m. A." (Em.ay) and Governor"
or any names that he likes and
you approve - that are NOT your
own first names.
Colored Inks and COlored Innings
of Envelopes
Dear Mrs. Post: Was red ink
improper to use in signing my
Christmas cards? And was il
wrong to use red ink to address the
envelopes of them? There was
red in their design and they were
lined in red. Someone said some
thing today that leads me to be
lieve it is IN bad taste despite the
fact that ! know many Other
people do 1T.
Answer: On Christmas cards oil
any other greeting cards of gay
informal variety on which the
lettering is IN color, matching ini
even RED. is permissible; posi-
bly, even preferable, because fit
ting in with the picture or tbs
printing of the card. Gay coloreC
Innings are also typical of Christ
mas card envelopes. This of cours'
does not apply to other items o
stationery, which now as always
should be conservative.

Dehydrated Foods May Be
Used In Postwar Kitchen

Dehydrated food, which is some
thing of a civilian curiosity at

over. Tests are now being carried
out on an invention which may

letting you dehydrate your gar

Reports are that the machine
will be relatively simple To oper-

the average pocketbook.
