A newcomer to Washington was
talking to group of friends the
other day about the weather. Does
it rain much in Washington in the
spring." she asked, and suddenly
found herself caught in quick
shower of laughter. When it had
subsidized one of her friends an
swered. you see, the answer is-it
rains much-and the season has
nothing to do with it."
AS you may have found out ere
this, no matter what the month
you can expect rain any day in
Washington. There's only one con-
sistent factor. The downpour usually
starts just as everybody is ready to
go home for the day.
However rain clothes are espe-
cially important in the spring, be-
cause If you're not protected you
may be drenched to the skin at any
time without warning. And aside
from the health angle drenching
never did clothes any good-a not
to be overlooked factor in these
days Of clothes conservation.
Even those of you who have always
turned up your pretty noses at the
idea of wearing a raincoat would
change your minds If you looked at
some Of the new ones. They're far
cry from the bulky big-making gar
ments Of yesteryear. The new ones
are much more than Just rain
coats. Actually they're day in, day
out smart spring coats that have
been given a good waterproofing.
Some ape the lines of officers
coats, with their broad shoulders,
back vents. roony pockets and waist
cinching belts. These are COM
plete, even to the shoulder flaps for
those who like to mimic their men.
One Of the smartest comes In a
brace Of beautiful colors-including
the very smart gold, kelly and deep
purple. The brighter the better we
say when it comes to rainwear, for
we're the kind of gloom chaser who
likes to wear her brightest clothes
on the dullest day. Anyway this
smart all-weather topcoat has an
easy-fitting raglan sleeve that en-
ables you to slide it over a suit
without coaxing.
II your sartorial standards don't
shrink in the rain you'll fall for
a stunning fy-front affair with but
tons in snappy, double breasted ar
ray-and easy-fitting raglan sleeves
that end, surprisingly. in cuffs. This
little number comes in a gray, pin
striped worsted-looking Aralac-and
it's a coat you'd buy for its looks
alone, as we'll as it's duck qualities.

BOTTLENECK TROUBLE.

Thanks to Mr.. E. K, Washington. }
Re Mrs. L. w. G.'s bottleneck
trouble as stated in a recent column,
have few suggestions which may
prove helpful. have never tried
these out in similar situation, but
from a theoretical viewpoint the
suggestions seem altogether justi-
fed.
l. Turn vase upside down, with
mouth against piece of wood which
Is padded on the surface touching
mouth. Strike hammer blows up
ward against the wood as sharply
as you dare In view of the fragility
Of the vase. The point in turning
the vase upside down is to get the
forces Of gravity to help. If this
does not help, then try:
2. Stand vase in the coolest part
Of your refrigerator, and leave it
there, preferably upside down, for
a day or so. Then seal the mouth
so that it will be air tight. Rubber
cement and a sheet of thin rubber
will accomplish this. Then gradu-
ally warm vase, always holding it
upside down. When you feel the
contained air is thoroughly warmed,
as evidenced by the bulging air
tight rubber seal, pierce the seal,
still holding vase upside down.
would be pleased to hear
whether or not Mrs. L. w. G. finds
these methods satisfactory.

Increase for Truck Drivers Allowed by
 War Labor Board

The decision of the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board in the Union contract case provided for adjustments for truck drivers. The Union requested that truck drivers receiving $1 an hour be raised to $1.O5 per hour. The Shipbuilding decision allows the raise to $1.O4 per hour.
 The Union also sought to have the truckdrivers receiving 91c per hour raised to 95c per hour. The Shipbuilding Commission ordered that this group be raised to 96c per hour.
 Although they cut down the i1- crease for first class truck drivers by 1c per hour, they raised the increase for second class truck drivers by an extra cent.
 Under this decision there is as much as $1O0 in back pay involved for many of the truck drivers.

Avait WPB Ouertime Reply On
 Ouertime For May 9 and May 70

The matter of overtime for Tues day, May. g, and Wednesday, May 10, as a result of Saturday and Sunday work the previous week end, still remains unsolved. The problem arose because of the change in commencement of work week to Mondays from Thurs days.
 From now on, Saturdays and Sundays will be the sixth and seventh consecutive work days within a work week, and will be the overtime days. Previously, when the work week began on Thursdays, Tuesday and Wednes- days were overtime days. In the change-over, the work week which began on Thursday, May 4 ended on Sunday, May '; and the work CTS had no opportunity to work the sixth .and seventh shifts in that abbreviated week.
 It is known that after the De- partment of Labor refused to take jurisdiction of the matter, it was referred to the Shipbuilding Stabi- 1ization Committee of the War Production Board, which has gen. eral authority to make interpreta- tions for shipyards on the question of overtime. The Shipbuilding Stabilization Committee contains representatives from labor, in- dustry, the Navy and Maritime Commission, and the War Produc- tion Board.
 It is reliably reported that when the question was first submitted, the Navy representatives informed the War Production Board repre- sentatives that overtime could be paid in accordance with the union demand, and that this was to be confirmed by telegraph to the company. The telegram never ar- rived and upon injury 1t was re- vealed that this decision had been

Drillers' Increases Sanctioned

The drillers' craft at the Elec- tric Boat Company, has now be- come a standard mechanic classi- fication by agreement of the Union and the Company and ratification of the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board As re- suit of this action, first class drill CTS are raised from $1.14 per hour to $1.20 per hour; second-class drillerS are raised from $105 per hour to $1.11 per hour, and third class drillers are raised from $1.00 to $1.05.
 It is estimated that some 45 men will get as much as $125 In back pay under this decision.

Start to Plan Vacations

The Union and the Management have commenced consideration of vacations for this summer. Both the Union and the Company are in agreement upon the definite policy that every employee who desires a vacation with time off of one week may have it. If the em- ployee has not had at least one years service, then he or she will get no pay for time taken off as a vacation.
 All employees who have had one years service will get week off with pay. Those who have had five years service may take two weeks off with pay,

Burners Achieve Standard Rating

The decision of the Shipbuildin3 Commission of the War Labor Board, as announced last week. places the burners craft into the standard mechanics' classification for shipyards. This means that first class burners will get $1.2O per hour, the same as mechanics and other trades: second class burners will get $1.1l per hour, and third class burners will get $1O5 per hour.
 Until the decision is placed i'm operation. first class burners rates are SLY, second plass burners rates are $108, and third class burners rates are $1.OO per hour.
 These adjustments are also re- troactive to July 23. 1043, and will mean a considerable sum of back pay for about 100 burners,

Union Files Appeal to LIB

The Union has taken an appeal to the National War Labor Board from the decision of the Ship building Commission in the con- tract case in reference to the date increases which were denied. The appal involves the erectors, gen. orator operators (Acetylene) , foundry chippers, furnace strik- CTS, brakemen, stage builders, and firemen.
 The Union also will appeal the adverse decision which will come down in the dispute case on the subject of extra compensation for "chromang" welding and working leaders.
 Attorney Charles Suisman has also secured authority from the executive committee of the Union and has indicated that he will do everything possible to consolidate the appeals into one single case. If successful on the consolidation, there will be only one formal ap- peal before the National War La Dor Board. Final results on the appeal probably will not be avail able until late in the summer.

buk in New London. Ludwig Borsch spoke to the workers of the Electric Boat Company during @ lunch-time program on May 18. Responding to a request, he pre- sents this special message to Elec- tric Boat Company workers.
 'I would like to say few sim- pie words to you, such as one friend might address to another, or the words shipmates on the same perilous voyage might ex- change. You who are working night and day, in and out, on the same monotonous job can easily come to think that your task is thankless one, and appreciation for it Is lacking.

Victory for Trial Crew Won by Union

The issue of the trial crew dis pute has been settled between the Union and the Company and has been withdrawn from the Dispute Case before the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board.
 The Company finally saw the light of day and capitulated to the Union demands.
 Under the terms of the settle ment the trial crew is being abol- ished and all it's members are be- ing placed in the test crew. In other words, these two separate departments have been merged in- to one.
 At the same time, 26 or 27 mem- bers of the trial crew are being reclassified upward and getting increases of 1Oc per hour and more. Most of the increases will bring former members of the trial crew up to $1.31 per hour from $1.21. Others will be increased from $1.31 to $1.38 and from $1.38 to $50 which is the top rate in the test crew.
