In Army Wants To Forget Her

Ime. Please let me hear from you
Samuel.
Iii other words, you are hem
pecked man. It was only last
year that you thought her the
apple of your eye. Now, you
want TO leave her and go home.
At least, before you go, yous
could assert your maniiness, if
YOU have any, and let her Know
that she is spending your hard
earned money. III you have ask
ed her to go out with you and
she will not go, go alone or with
some boy friend. As soon as
she finds that you do not intend
to rust at home, she will find a
way to go out with you.
Don't give up so easily. You,
perhaps, think you hate her be-
cause she does not treat you
right and you take it. As long
as you do, you will live under
the same circumstances. Every
one does not express love in
the same manner. She, no doubt
loves you in her own way and
You don't understand her. If
she did not, / do not believe she
would have married you, hav-
ing had the experience of mar
riage before.
Tell her kindly that her treat
ment and accusations are
making you fall out of love with
her and ask her frankly If she
still loves you. Then, if you still
find that you can't make a go
of it, l would suggest that you
go home and get divorce when
you leave.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

One Of the most significant ques-
lions asked her by the group was:
What can be done about small re-
tailers who do not belong to trade
associations or other organized
bodies and who lack information
about their duties under price con-
troll and rationing?"
This questioner was referred to
the local board and to the regional
office of OPA. who supply informa-
ton to retail dealers.
Other significant questions and
the answers given included:
Are the storekeepers supposed to
remcve the stamps from the ration
books?"
The answer was mo. Shoppers
should consult the table of point
values posted in the stores, count
the number of points required to
purchase each article, know the
proper amount of stamps to be CIV
en- the storekeeper, and remove this
amount from the book in the pres
ence of the storekeeper."
@. Can a stamp not used in one
period be carried over to the next
period and used?"
A. When the ration period has
expired the stamps to be used dur
ing that period generally become in
valid. Except in isolated instances
there have been no provisions made
Tor carrying over ration stamps
rom one period to another Coffee
coupon 26 is good until April Is,

FiddIers Are
Disturbing To
Many People
BY HELEN JAMESON
Distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

HANDS
1t is surprising how many wom-
en- are constantly fiddling with
their fingers. They rub their hands
together. They scratch their palms.
They dig at the cuticle around their
nails. Hands are ever on the move
To the soul who loves tranquility,
jittery hands are an irritation.
Constant movement of the hands
is nervous habit, of which one
is usually unconscious. At the finger
tips are nerves that are sensitive
and delicate. They have to do with
the sense of touch, were put there
for purpose. They communicate
directly with the brain, as the
nerves Of the palms of the hands
are linked with the digestive sys-
tenn.
DISTURBING HABIT
Restless fingers a e common
among individuals who are easily
stimulated, who move quickly. The
habit is disturbing to others. 1t in
terferes with poise. 1t does not
make for interesting, sustained con-
versatlon because the other fellows
mind is more or less disturbed by
the exhibition of nervousness.
1t is just as well that all of lis
should keep & weather eye on our
hands, note what they are about,
whether they move beautifully, fall
into pleasing poses. Hands speak a
language Of their own.
Finger tips seem to have eyes.
Note how cleverly they arrange the
curls at the back of your head,
place them in groups, just the way
you want them.
Restless fingers are particularly
attracted to hangnails. They like
to worry them as a dog worries a
rag. They can't keep away from a
broken nail. And that is precisely
why the finger twiddler should have
a weekly manicure. Not only that,
but give the nails daily attention.
SHOULD BE SMOOTH
Eaves should be smooth, cut5cleS
without the slightest break. If you
stand among the subjects who ere
under the beauty microscope today,
don't fail to apply cuticle cream
at bedtime 1t is when the flesh
clings to the nail, creeps upward,
that it breaks and shags appear.
In the morning, after washing
your sands, run the orangewood
stick under the cuticle. The cream,
applied the night before, will make
this simple, speedy job. If hang
nails appear, work UP the flesh with
the stick, snip them away with the
curved, needlepoint scissors, hold
ing the ends toward the nail base.
Besides finger juggling, there are
other mannerisms we might men
tion-pulling at the ear lobe, twist
ing a curl, fussing with a button or
ornament, all demonstrations of
nervousness Or lack of poise.

Saws Prices Can Be
Kept Down By Wives
Mrs. Warrick
Explains OPA
To Southeast

WASHINGTON, D. G. - (SNS)-
1t is largely up to consumers them
selves to enforce price and ration
ing regulations, Mrs. Sunie Steele
Warrick, member of the Group
Services staff of the Office of Price
Administration, told housewives and
consumer groups with whom she
met in Lynchburg, Va; Greensboro
nd Fayetteville, N. c.. Atlanta
Ga; Montgomery and Birmingham,
Ala, and Nashville, Tenn, during
the last two weeks.
But consumers can get help from
local War Price and RatiOning
boards among whose functions are
hose of disseminating information
about price control and rationing.
These boards also receive complaints
of suspected violations.
LEARN CEILINGS
Mrs Warrick suggested that con-
sumerS should learn price ceilings
from newspapers, the radio and 10
cal War Price and Rationing boards,
and refuse to shop at stores where
these ceilings are violated. They
should also report violations to To-
cal boards and, in justified cases,
sue for triple damages under the
Price Control Act.
1T is to our own benefit to do.
these things" Mrs Warrick stated,
IF We do not wish to see our dol
lars tremendously reduceG in val
ue."
In answer to questions on how to
more participation in the
volunteer work of local War Price
and Rationing boards, Mrs. Warrick
stated that until some more defin-
lite policy on participation is set
by the OPA, local groups can or
ganize around a program of con-
sumner education to help reach those
persons who do not get information
the press and the radio.
These groups can call on local
boards for service in supplying ma.
terials and in training volunteer
speakers.
