Do You Qualify?
By Margaret No,ceH.

Women have answered the call to
roll bandages. to Join the women's
branch OF the various services, to
work in canteens, airplane factories
and munitions plants. Now, we
wonder If there are any Of them left
to join their fellow women In trying
to hold the homes Of the Nation
together?
When things begin to go awry in
the ordinary house there are re-
sounding reverberations all the way
down the line. The laundry cannot
take the f1atwork, the maid does
not show up, the house gets out of
hand, there is no one to stay with
the children, meals are late, and
within "A hours all the machinery
OF living is completely rolled by an
effective monkey wrench.
There are any number of women
who must work to support their
families. Formerly they had a COM
petent maid, and, once assured of
everything being right at home.
could go to their days work with
a quiet mind. At the present time
these women are doing q Job and
the housework as well, and must
solve the problems OF care for the
children, cooking, laundry work, as
best they can in the time that they
do not have to spend at their office
desk. Any healthy woman can do
this for q certain length of time, just
as she would work double shift
In the ofIice or the factory for
limited period. But she cannot carry
double load, with the addition of
anxiety over children and things
half done at home, for very long.
Other women with less to do must
help her.
There must be any number of
good housekeepers in this COM
munity of ours who are competent
to turn OF their own housekeeping
in three hours several days a week.
Why don't they offer their services
for certain number of hours each
day to a neighbor who needs help?
1t would be the most useful type
OF war effort. 1t needs no outlay
for equipment and the working con-
ditions are ideal.

Temperature in
Relation to Pulse

In acute illnesses, for every degree
OF temperature the pulse rate goes
up 10 beats so that in a person with
normal heart rate of 70, two de-
grees of temperature would send it
to 90. If temperature is degrees,
heart rate would be 1l2.
However, If temperature comes
down to normal-98l2 degrees-but
the pulse rate stays we'll above the
70 beats per minute, the patient
should remain in bed till pulse rate
is again down to 72. Remaining
above 70 means that the heart has
not fully recovered its strength
caused by the illness.

Shaping Up for Fall

Planning now to buy new fall
dress7 Well. a good idea should be
to look before you leap. We mean
look at yourself. Take good look
at yourself. Is your waistline smooth
and young and firm so you'll have
that nice spare-rib look in the new
clothes?, How will your hips and
oerriere look in the new pencil slim
skirts? The new clothes are Just
as frank as the mirror. They're
f1attering, but they won't fool your
public
In the interest of the Every Girl
q Goddess" club, we visited a few of
the better silhouette salons around
town and found out what we all can
DO about pouring last years figures
into this years fashions.
Actually for most of you, there's
nothing much wrong that a good
posture and few we'll directed
exercises won't correct. All agree
that good posture is Step No. l to-
ward a good figure. Actually, good
posture is an exercise in itself-a
stretching eXerciSe-stretching up
tall. 1t not only makes you look
better, but good posture makes you
feel better tAll right, skeptics,
sitting right where you are, tuck
in your tummy, line your backbone
up with the back of your chair
doesn't that feel better?) We found
out that good posture can actually
take inches off your waiStline, can
add considerably to your height.
Start right now working on your
posture. Stand up tall, act as if
some one were pulling you up by
your back hair, tuck in your tummy
and your derriere. Look in the
mirror. See what we mean?
If you can't work it out yourself,
there are posture classes which
teach you the rights and wrongs of
posture.
Step No. on the list is exercise.
Almost any form of exercise is good
for you in one way or another. Walk
ing is good exercise if you walk with
good posture; as you walk, you might
pretend you are Making an En-
trance and that will make you hold
yourself tall, stretch up out of your
waistband. Why don't you walk part
way to work in the morning-you1
really get a good healthy start on
the day. Swimming is another good
exercise, and a great figure -fiXer.

swimmers have pretty figures?

there's the exercise of the 1928 va
riety :. hands on your hips, touch
the floor, back to position-1-2-3-
the kind of exercise we all HAD to
do in school and so didn't do as we'll
as we might have. Sorry, girls, but
they're still good for you. In fact,
this planned exercise is the kind
most of us need because each exer-
else is usually designed to tone up
particular set of muscles.
You might take a course Of exer-
else at one of the salons where
you'd be taught to do the particular
exercises that would do your figure
the most good. Or you could do
your exercises at home-perhaps to
music. You might buy a set of
records that directs your exercises to
music which makes it all fun. Prob
ably the best thing to do is to call
up one of the salons for a figure
analysis. Those we visited assured
us that they would be delighted to
give free consultations without obli-
CATION. Then, if you can, at least

take one course of exercises under
their direction. 1t will give you a
better start, and you can finish the
good work at home. At the salons,
you'll also have exercising machines
to help you-such as the "Exer-
cycle" which gives you a cross be-
tween horseback riding and bicycling
and MAKES you sit up straight.

Danes Vote Today for First Time
Since Invasion by Nuzi Forces

The principal question was the
number of votes that could be gar
nered by Fritz Clausens' Danish
Nazi Party, which polled only 81
600 in the last election in 1889 and
held three seats.
No interference with the ballot
ing was expected inside Denmark,
but observers foresaw pressure may
be brought to bear on 10000 Danish
workers in Germany, while more
than 10000 Germans of Danish ma
tionality living in Southern Jutland
were expected to cast votes for
Clausens' candidates.
Opinion here was that the Ger
mans and their sympathizers would
command a total of 100000 votes,
enough to claim success.
Dispatches from Stockholm said
the election would indicate the ex-
tent to which there was opposition
throughout the country to Scavenius'
policy of understanding with the
Nazis.
Returns indicating the election
trend were not expected before late
tonight, Stockholm advices said.

Jops Building Air Field
On Kisko Strofed in Attack
'By EUGENE BURNS.

AN ADVANCED ALASKAN BASE,
March l8 DelayedD tP).-Flfty cal
iber machine guns and 20 mlllimeter
aerial cannon today poured Wlther-
ing fire into Japnaese workers build
ing a landing strip for fighter planes
on Kiska Island.
This straf1ng by two groups OF
Lightning pilots highlighted day in
which six heavy Liberator bombers
and six medium Mitchell bombers
dropped hundreds of heavy bombs on
the enemy occupied island.
The II bombers drew little anti
aircraft fire, but the Lightnings at.
tacki1.e the nearly completed run
way had everything in the book
thrown up at them, including coastal
defense gunfre. There was no at
tempt at air interception by Jap
anese float planes known to be based
on kiska.
Two Lightnines were damaged.
The landing gear on one of the
planes was smashed and the pilot
made a forced belly landing at 100
miles an hour.
The fighter strip on which the
Japanese were working-even during
the attack-has been built through
persistent day and night effort. The
vorkmen painstakingly remove filler
from the mountains and transport
It by handboat along narrow gauge
rails.
The 1lth Air Force Command has
pointed out that the fighter strip
means the enemy is prepared to de-
fend its captured foothold in the
butter Aleutians come what may: and
that even offensive action against
the American mainland, may be
contemplated.
