Objects to Misuse
OF Telephone Facilities.

To the Editor OF The Star
Are you a persistent overmodulator?
Do you yell into your telephone as
though you were talking to deaf mute?
Do you speak so loudly over the tele-
phone that you disturb every other per-
son in your Office and make the dia-
phram at the other end of the line
rattle like 1923 Ford hitting on two
cylinders? Are you one of those
thoughtless Office workers who insists
on overmodulating every time you lift
the telephone handset, interrupting all
work in your vicinity and blasting the
ear drum of your listener at the far end
of the line?
Are you one of those big executives
who find 1t necessary to talk loud and
long on the telephone just to impress
your fellow workers with your impor-
tance? With just little more volume
you could penetrate the thin partitions
and command the attention of the peo-
pie in the adjoining Office. g. w.

Says Domestic Help Is Not Included
In 1912 Revenue Act.
To !, rr -

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your special features on the income
tax are helpful and timely, but the jan
uary 5 article on the Victory tax omits
to state that compensation paid a do
mestic in a private home, ETC., does not
constitute wages under the 1912 revenue
act The act is specific on this point
Gas well as on the question OF farm
labor. Thus If domestic in private
home, club, ETC., received SIS week or
any amount above the $12 exemption
there Is nothing in the act which permits
the employer to withhold any of that
amount. ALBERT w. FOX.

, MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

When is the war going to end?
That Is logical question, but
just as hard to answer as the
bridge player who asks the expert
how to bid hand containing a
nine-card suit. Today's hand came
up during last years national mixed
pair championship, which will be
held this year during the national
tournament at the Hotel Astor,
New York, the week of November
80.
AS rule, women like to bid, and
most of the women who held the
East hand kept on bidding until
they forced North South into
slam. When the dummy went down,
declarer could see little hope Of
making the contract, but those
who did not give up made 1t in one
of two ways.
The opening club lead was ruffed
and the king of spades played.
When the singleton jack dropped,
another round of spades was taken,
then the diamond jack was led. The
diamond suit now had to break.
Declarer had to be careful to ruff
out the other club before cashing
the diamonds. If West ruffed dia-
mond, all he had to lead was a
heart. If he did not ruff a diamond,
South discarded the four and three
of hearts on the two long diamonds
then led a spade, throwing West in
with the queen and forcing him to
cad heart into the ace-queen.

HOME FRONT FORECAST
Curb On mstalment Buying
Will Remain For Duration
HOME FRONT FORECAST
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Dec. 2Charge ac-
count and installment buying limi-
tations are likely to stay for the
duration, although national bank
ing association is clamoring for
their relaxation.
The Federal Reserve Board which
issued the original order says there
are no plans to give up restrictions
A spokesman for the Office of Eco
nomic Sterilization, which would
countersign any such move, said he
saw no reason why restrictions
should be eased or removed now.
Retailers are happy with these
rules which, help tighten up charge
accounts. Consumers who need
special credit extensions can ar
range under the order to buy on a
'lay-away" plan. The life Of a
charge account can be extended past
two months by a written agreement
to pay in six months. Or the pur-
chaser can file a Statement of Nee
essity with the creditor and agree
to pay in twelve months.

When selecting Christmas gifts
for the ladies this year, you won't
go wrong if you choose something
to wear.
Whether it be practical gift of
a housecoa,tl lingerie, hose, slippers

Accessory counters are collecting

stems to give new CLEAN to an old
hat, glittering butterflies caught on
combs and wide braided bands for
your new hairdos, and rhinestone
buckles or beaded pom-poms to
dress up daytime pumps.

Citrus Fruit
Makes Delicious
Marmalade
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

Tangerines, oranges and grape
fruit are unrationed color treats
for the holidays. A jar of orange
marmalade makes q welcome gift
and noWs the time. Oranges are
coming to market and they are
reasonable. Try this economical
recipe.
Select an orange, a grapefruit
and lemon-each smooth, thick
skinned, and free from blemishes.
Remove the peel, slice it very thin,
add quart of cold water and par
boil for five minutes. Drain off
water, add quart of fresh water,
parboil again and drain. Add wa
ter a third time and parboil.
Cut the fruit pulp into thin Sic
eS and remove seeds and rag. Com
bine the sliced pulp with the
drained parboiled peel. To each
pressed measure of this mixture of
pulp and peel, add twice that
quantity of water and boil rapidly
about 40 minutes. Then weigh or
measure this mixture and add an
equal weight or measure OF sugar.
Add an eighth of a teaspoon of salt
to bring out flavor.
Boil fruit mixture and sugar ra-
pidly for Is minutes, or until it
thickens and becomes amber COL
ored. Stir as 1t cooks down, to pre-
vent scorching. Let the MARINA
lade stand in the kettle until
slightly cooled so that shreds of
peel will distribute themselves well
through the jellied juice. Stir and
pour into hot sterile jars and
seal, or pour into hot sterilized glas
SeS and cover with paraffin.
Festive Fruits
Grapefruit makes a festive first
course for the Christmas dinner
when garnished with spoonfuls of
cooked cranberries around the edge
to simulate holly berries.
Or you might like this Florida
suggestion: Fill center of grape
fruit halves with diced avocado.
Top with spoonful of mayonnaise,
sprinkle with paprika and chill.
Even though not as plentiful as
last year, tangerines should APP
pear in your Christmas scheme.
Arrange them in a basket as a
centerpiece, and be sure to hang
a few on your old-fashioned Christ
mas tree.

Beauties Hints
Scalp And Skin
Need Exercising
With Oil, Cream
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

"At this time Of the year SO many
girls in our plant come to me TO
ask what they can do for dry skin
and hair" says research chemist
Rita Wilson, who works In cos
metic laboratory.
II have found from experience
that exercising the hair muscles
each hair, you know. does have
Its own muscles-is most helpful,
for 1t increases the action Of the
glands which send the natural oils
down the length Of the hair. In
addition, though, 1t Is well to mas
sage your scalp with a washable
on before the shampoo
AS for dry skin, Miss Wilson
says, don't smear on an emollient
cream and let 1t stand, hoping 1t
will be absorbed. It won't. But do
massage 1t into the skin gently, as
siduously, so that the skin benefits
not only from the added nourish-
ment, but also the accompanying
stimulation.

with everything essential to their
own health and that of their un-
born children.
AS a nation we pride ourselves on
the fact that our servicemen are the
best clothed and best fed soldiers
in the world. We hear over and
over again how well they eat, how
carefully their health is guarded,
how expertly they are treated when
i'll or wounded.
We shouldn't stop with that. It
is important to Americas present
that servicemen be safeguarded, but
it Is also important to Americas fu-
ture that their children being born
today and tomorrow get a health
full start in life.
FACE PROBLEM NOW
In the last few years, parents have
become educated on proper prenatal
and infant care.
That has been a wonderful step
forward for the country. But 1t
doesn't do young, prospective
mother any good to know what her
diet should be if she can't afford to
buy the milk, fresh fruits, etc., that
she needs to protect her own health
and to produce strong, healthy
child.
That Is a post war problem we had
better face right now.
