New York BartenderS Fizz Up
With ChivaIry- Something

little Inclined to mix drinks in the
same way they cook-which Is by
instinct" he commented. They
waste liquor in making cocktails,
and they're a bit heavy-h handed
with such things as simple syrup
and grenadine.
EDIE WAS A LADY
II believe some women could
get along all right with the bar
customers, but most would be too
feminine or too forward: anyway,
they would not strike quite the
inpersonsl note Of a perfect BAR
tender. remember a girl named
Edith--not one Of my, pupils-who
got a job in a roadhouse bar.
Edith decided that her-ah-sex
should be inconspicuotls, so she cut
her hair short and wore Inannish
shirt and didn't talk much. Many
of the customers didn't notice her
particularly, and sometimes they got
to talking the way men will at bars.

Rationed Food In Unless
Cans Is Outlook For '43
BY ANNE FRANCE WILSON

BY ANNE FRANCE WALSON
NEA Service STAFF Correspondent
Washington, Jan. lin case any
body has any mistaken notions,
there will be. canned goods available
for civilians in 1913. The cans won't
look quite the same, and there won't
be quite so many Of them. But you
won't be buying all your packed
fruits and vegetables under glass.
Before long you'll be seeing two
new types Of can on your grocer's
shelves. One viii have no tin coat
ing. Instead Of the chemically
treated steel can will have o coat
Of baked enamel or lacquer, in colors
ranging from gunmetal to brown or
bronze.
This finish is said to give full pro-
lection against color changes In
pigmented fruits or discoloratin
from food constituents naturally
present. At the same time, it will
help prevent rust.
The second type Of can will have
less than half the amount Of tin
coating found on pre-war cans.
Civilian Outlook
While the armed forces are taking
over the entire 1913 output Of some
canned foods, civilian consumers will
get between 20 and go per cent Of
those available to them.
And a memo to those housewives
who started such q rum ON baby
foods that grOcers have been limit
ing purchases to three cans to the
customer:

along with the news that Boston al
ready has 'em, Is causing a storm OF
anguished misgivings in Manhattan.
IT'S A SHOCK TO JOCK,
Especially startled is Mr.. Jock
Townsend, head Of the Bartenders
Union of New York, who only
few weeks ago perceived the fem
mime handwriting on the back-bar
mirror and sponsored proposal for
statewide prohibition of drink-mix-
ing and beertapping by women.
At the mere mention Of grogshop
glamorists. Mr.. Townsend fizzed up
like a warm and rudely shaken bot
tie Of beer, his protests sounding
like a combination Of gallant chiv-
airy and misanthropic unionisnn. He
said women would get unsightly
muscles from shaking cocktails, and
ugly hands and nails from contact
with malt beverages. Then he added:
"And we'd get the wrong kind Of
women trying for the job"
Another local union official, John
F. Kelly, who swung spigots and
tipped bottles for 20 years, insisted
that bartending not only is mans
work but that enough trained men
will be available for 1t. OF $50 men,
bers of his local, only A were in
the armed services.
This implied no lack Of patriotism
among the men who have to listen
to so much war talk while shaking
up "time bombs" and "ack-ack"
cocktails "Plenty were called but
few were chosen" Kelly explained.
"Bartenders have flat fleet, float
ing kidneys and other terrible all
mentS. Women should be protected
from such things
Over at the headquarters of the
United Retail Confectionery, Lunch
eonette and Soft Drink Employees
Union, a man was scornful of the
talk about occupational hazards.
I'VE got thousands Of danes tend
ing soda fountains" he said, land
they amt got flat feet, unsightly
muscles. floating kidneys or ugly
hands.
"Also, all our danes are ladies,
and they are often beautiful to a
great degree. You think guys don't
make passes at good looking soda
jerkers, or maybe try to tell them
their troubles? Well, they do. But
our danes are very lady.like and
know how to handle such matters.
Then would do all right behind
liquor bars, too, but don't put my
name in your paper because we
don't want any trouble with the
bartenders, and anyway our danes
are not going after the bartenders'
jobs"

New York, Jan. 11-New York'S
most influential fashion designer
of the moment is-hang on to your
snoods, girls-Police Commissioner
Lewis J. Valentine.
The commissioner may not be too
handy with the needle and scissors,
but he has moved in on the famous
Fifth Avenue stylists' exclusive ter
ritory to take credit for the latest
mode. It's "dimout white" and it's
probably the most sensible style sug-
gestion since the departure OF the
hobble skirt.
Alarmed by the throwing number
of dimout accidents in Manhattan,
Commissioner Valentine has urged
all women to wear something white
at night. Their enthusiastic re-
Spouse to the suggestion Is already
being felt by stores here.
WHITE is RIGHT
Most in demand are raincoats,
hats and umbrellas-all white, Of
course white wool evening: Jackets,
white scarves, kerchiefs, gloves and
arrnbands; hats with phosphores-
cent gardenias and sparkling pail
lettes; jewelry doo-dads that glitter
instead Of Jingle, jangle, Jingle;
handbags that shine like q good
deed In this naughty world.
1t is predicted that male pedes-
TRANS, cropping their homeward way
at night, will continue to wear the
evening paper prominently displayed
in the right hand.

part Of his leisure time with men.
No reason, that Is, If his wife doesn't
make him feel as though he is
deserving her every time he goes out
to play poker with the boys.
The Armys appeal to some is the
freedom from too much domesticity.
A lot of women slip into the habit
of treating the men they marry as
nothing more than husbands. for
getting that they are more than
just part Of a domestic picture.
THEY LIKE EXCITEMENT
Other men like the change and
excitement Of Army life. AS rule
the "buy a home and settle down
to being leading citizens type of
existence appeals more to women
than to men, consequently a lot of
women force their husbands into
pattern Of living they find pretty
boring.
Women could learn a thing or
two about keeping their husbands
happy, if they would take the trouble
to find out what kind of life really
appeals to them.
