HOME IRON sIiI3s!S5l Here's a Jarring Note On The Canning Situation

One feature of the point system of rationing (the British system which yOu'l be using come Feb- ruary) is that the point value of various foods may be altered with the fIuctuation in supply and de- mand.
 For example, if there is a large demand for a limited quantity of peas. the point value may be raised in order to prevent the supply's ex- hausti0n.
 Now you might think that, with such 8 scarce item as canned ap- pies, the point value would be high in order to insure equal dis tribution. But it won't work that way. For uncanned apples will also be unrationed, SO you wouldn't want to spend your precious cou- pons for something YOU could cook in your own kitchen. Therefore, for the foolish or kitchenless few, can- ned apples won't take an extrava- gant number of points.
 Everything clear now?

 West opened the queen of clubs and continued with 8 club, which East won. East cashed another club, and West had to make a discard. No use discarding 8 small heart = East would shift to dia- rlonds, the suit bid by West. If West wanted a diamond led. he could discard the queen but he wants a club continued. So the defender deliberately threw away the ace of diamonds, establishing the king in dummy and leaving 1t to his partner to reason as fol- lows: He certainly does not want a diamond led.

 There is nothing in the world wrong with women wearing slacks to their pobs in airplane and mu- nitions factories. They are doing mems work and if mems clothes are safer and more suitable and com- fortable for the job - then mems clothes are what they ought to wear.
 And there is nothing wrong with a housewife's wearing slacks around home when she is doing her work, especially in these days when she is likely to be firing the furnace herself and even doing her own yard work.
 But slacks for women are work clothes - just as overalls are work clothes for men. APPROPRIATE CLOTHES

 Women seem to be born con- formists, and some carry it to ex- tremes where their looks are co1- cerned. If you're one of the latter, and are young and flexible enough of disposition, now's the time to take yourself in hand.
 A young girl writes to ask, for instance, what shall she dc about her hair? She has two "streaks, 1" one at each temple, which are lighter in color than the rest of her hair. People always notice, she says, and many say it's interesting. The hair never has caused her any hurt or trouble-she has no reason to think it comes of a health-hazard condition. But it's so odd" and conspicuous"
 The answer is-wonderful Why can't she consider it SO? Why can't any woman with an unusual fea- ture, which is not definitely un- slightly, make the most of 1t? think more of us should. It certainly would add to the variety of the landscape, and to the security or self-con1dence of many an in- dividual.
 There is one exception. It is truly beyond some women, who're set in their ways, to be comfortable if they are different-looking. If the girl with the "streaked" hair is of that type, she should dye her hair. It can be done. With American beauty techniques, you can do almost-magi- cal transformations, and harmlessly, successfully.
 But the bond of the times is against 1t. Natural beauty is what's wanted, offered, stylish. Enhance

 Among the foods that may be "jarred" in unlimited amounts are corn, asparagus, beets, peas, tona- toes, dehydrated vegetables, vege. table juices, peaches. pears, fruit cocktails, piclsled fish, matted milk and honey. That means that pack CTS can apply for all the rubber and tin plate for closures necessary to pack these foods.
 This still doesn't mean that the above products will be available in abundance. Shortage of canned foods is caused not only by lack of canning facilities to care for mill itary and civilian needs, but by a shortage of the foods themselves. Military requirements enter into the glass -container picture only indi- rectIy, since, because of shipping difficulties, only tinned foods are sent to the armed forces.
 However it works out, here are the WIPES figures for the 194S output. Canning - or "jarring," if you preferrof spinach and other ietfy vegetables will he tripled, and that of blackberries. cherries and prunes will be doubled. Baby foods, which have always been put up in glass jars, will be allowed 25 per cent increase.
 Beans in tin cans are completely out. and "jarring' is limited to quarter of the 1942 output-which :sn't many beans.
