Waiting
Mono+onous
: But Necessary
Elsie Robinson

SICK OF the war, aren't your
Sick OF the deadly monotony---
the constant reminder. Doesn't
matter whether you are
welder, a WAVE or a housewife,
the thing gets you down.
You try TO push ahead bravery
you think enviously of those
who are in the midst of action
overseas. Yes, they're facing
danger but sometimes you think
thai danger, even death, would
be better than this dreary
routine. If only you could chuck
all and take the fastest planes
TO the nearest rumpus-what
relief IL would be.
But II wouldn't. This war
isn't being fought in great
swoops or dramatic dashes. 1t
is being fought in q monotony
more dreadful than anything
you or / know.
Just Waiting
Men waiting days, weeks,
months for something to happen.
Men graphing their tedious way
up mountain sides, foot by foot
Men inching their way, belly
down. over sand dunes. Men
wading hip high in nameless
ports, dragging machinery so
heavy that their veins seem 10
burst with the heft OF IL.
Waiting. That's the deadly
part of war whether il be at the
front or at home. Patriotism
Any man with blood in his veins
can pump that up when the
flags are flying and the trump
cts calling and the planes roar
ing overhead. Action no matter
how bloody, that's relatively
easy. too, provided you're mad
enough inside. But waiting

Wacky Hats
Good for

BY HELEN FOLLETT

SAY WHAT you Will about
whacky millinery, it strikes a
cheerful note in a saddened
world. No two hats are alike
these days. Maybe some Of the
designers did their modelling
with their eyes closed. not
knowing themselves what the
results would be.
After years Of simple. con
sentative modes. millinery has
achieved a magnificent come

feathers and flowers. Sweet

One should have n knack for

others over one ear.
There can be no rules con-
corning hat shapes and facial

taste are necessary 10 select the
right model. Without taste a

Beauties Hints
Clogged Pores
Are Purged By
Meal Cleanser
BY ALICIA HART

Dreaming, even double-cream-
ing, may fail to cleanse your skin
completely of makeup and the
days dust. When this happens,
you'll begin to discover little clus-
tiers of blackheads forming around
your nostrils and in your chin.
At this stage ordinary soap-and-
water and cream care isn't SUI
flcient. A more penetrating purge
is needed to release the obstruc-
ton in the pores, and one of the
best methods is the use of a
cleansing meal.
THE light touch is the impor-
tant thing in using such an abra-
sive on the skim says blond, tai
ented Dolores Moran.
II find that teaspoon of
cleansing meal mixed with half
that amount of astringent or tap
water makes smooth paste of
just the right consistency, she ex-
plains, then, with a gentle circu-
lar motion l work it into the pores
until the moisture disappears.
With lukeWarm water, the &C
tress removes all traces of the
granules, and finishes with a cold
water pack. Not only have clogged
pores disappeared, but so has the
dead top skin.

OPA Writes New
Laundry Ticket
BY ANN STEVICK

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. - You
should have your traditional Or
ange in the Christmas stocking
this year, for there is big citrus
crop. You will probably enjoy it
more than ever because o t h r
fruits will be scarce.
Apples are % per cent fewer
than last year, and the armed
services are using more. Peaches
are down So per cent, so civilians
can expect to see very little Of
them. Prunes and raisins will be
the civilian dish in dried fruits,
other dried fruits being taken for
the fighters.
The outlook for vegetable crops
for processing is not encouraging.
Pea production is not so high as
last year, but very much above
average Lima beans are more
than a third above average, but
below the 1912 crop. Tomatoes
are almost third below the 1912
production. There is 10 per cent
less cabbage for kraut, and a q
per cent decrease in pimentoes.

Hand-rolled, rippled collars and

replaced the severe revers of other
years. Fly-front closings are still
to be found, but not as often as
those set off by big buttons of
brilliant-colored felt, bugle beads
and novelty plastic designs.
Pockets, too, have more indivi-

the conclusion of this meeting, at
which time the President and
Prime Minister will hold a press
conference to give out such of the
decisions as can be made public.
There is speculation, too, in con-
nection with Mr.. Roosevelt's sched-
uled visit to the Canadian capital
at Ottawa next week, that the Ca
madam Parliament might hold a
special meeting to hear him speak.
That would offer the Chief Execu-
tive an extraordinary opportunity to
review, in so far as publicly possible,
the accomplishments of the latest
staff discussions.
Speculation over the part which
the Russian offensive is playing in
these discussions is concerned with
the timing of Allied operations
against Germany's western flank.
Military men agree that the time to
hit this side of Germany is when the
Nazi military machine is of balance
in the East.
Would Hamper Germans.
Such timing, it is noted, would
not only limit the reserves of men
and munitions which the Germans
could throw into counterattacks,
but would also weaken the resistance
to the Russian advances and prove
a powerful factor in keeping the
Red armies rolling.
This latter purpose apparently is
the motivation behind the latest
hue and cry in Moscow for a sec
ond front" The line taken by the
army newspaper Red Star is that
the struggle for Sicily had failed to
divert "a. single German division
from the Soviet front"
How far this reflected Premier
Stains views, OF course, was not
known, but it was interpreted as
suggesting plea for help, an argu-
ment that If the Allies want the
present tide to continue against
Germany they must act, and act
soon. Whatever plans for invasion
are in progress were made months
ago, but 1t would be the function of
the combined chiefs OF staff and the
final decision of the President and
Prime Minister here to determine
the extent to which these plans
could be speeded up in order to take
full advantage of the present situa-
ton.
Eden May Go to Stain.
When their directives are shaped
they will. as has been customary
in the past, be communicated with
all possible speed to Stain.
There is considerable belief that
the highly important task of courier
has been delegated to British For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden, who
arrived yesterday.
Mr.. Eden's presence also gave
rise to speculation that the confer
ence may undertake the solution of
some OF the multiplying political
problems arising out of the swift
movements of events in Europe
The possibility that Secretary of
State Cordell Hull may come here
from Washington served to empha-
size the potential political aspects
