Whatever few precious beauty
tools you may have now must last
you indefinitely, adm here are a
few rules which Lucille Ball, star
Of the new musical Aim "DuBarry
Was q Lady," follows to keep hers
In good order:
Put your implements away sepa-
rately In q special case or cotton
lined box. Don't throw them into
q drawer or box with a lot Of other
odds and ends, which may bend
or dull them.
When your scissors or nippers
need sharpening, give them to an
expert grinder.
Put a drop OF oil on scissors and
nipperS at the friction point after
every few times you use them, and
clean them regularly with an oily
cloth to keep them dust and rust
free.
Above all, remember that deli
cate cuticle scissors are designed
for cutting cuticles only, not toe

made It simpler to wave this
wand Of conversion over old
stockings than to make new nylon.
The reconversion process requires
simple equipment, while setting up
the more elaborate equipment for
fabrication Of new nylon would take
quantities Of strategic materials.
NYLoN DISSOLVED
with heat, and a hydrolizing
or breaking-down agent, nylon
goes back to It's original elements.
It isn't reduced to piece Of coal,
a Whit Of air, and some water
which Is what nylon starts with -
but to q black powder and red
dish brown liquid which Is a COM
position Of these. Someone has
corjectured that you may see the
day when nylon stockings are sent

tically no loss in the process. 1t u
estimated that 1870 pairs Of stockings
will make q parachute, because one
pound Of nylon makes 36 stockings,
and 10 pounds makes a chute.
The success Of the stocking col
lection campaign depended on the
cooperative efforts Of widely DIFF
ferent groups. First the hosiery
manufacturers spread the word tc
their customers about setting up
the program. Storekeepers estab-
lished depots and stood the ex-
pense Of packing the stockings into
100-pound bundles. Community
groups and clubs helped gather
them up.
