Restaurants Take
Steps 10 Garry Out
New 0PA Regulations
Coffee Can Be Bought
At Five Cents q Cup
Again on Monday

The first step toward compliance
with new national OPA regula tions
will be taken Monday when WASH
lngton restaurants which charged S
cents for cup of coffee before cof-
fee rationing started go back on the
nickel standard.
Other steps toward compliance
were outlined at the first meeting of
the District Restaurant Advisory
Committee yesterday when restau-
rateurs worked out two lists of the
most popular foods served in res
taurants.
1t was explained that the District
OPA will make up a list of 40 items
from these lists and the final list
must be posted in all District eating
places by August 16.
Regulations Explained.
Sherwood Dodge, District price
executive, told the meeting the new
regulations make it a violation for
any restaurant to sell any food after
August 10 unless the item and its
price is listed with the OPA on a
regular menu.
Mr.. Dodge explained that under
the new regulations a restaurateur
taking over a new business must
also take over his predecessors CELL
ing prices, but he can apply for an
adjustment if he finds he's losing
money. If restaurateur closes up
one eating place and buys another,
Mr.. Dodge added, he must retain
the ceiling prices of the closed es-
tablishment.
Restaurants serving new foods can
establish the proper prices by max
ing them in line with similar prod
ucts or with the prices for the same
foods charged by competitors, he ex-
planned.
Others Tell of Work.
Mrs. Charles Putnam, price panel
coordinator for the District OPA,
explained how her office will ad-
minister the regulation requiring
posting of the most popular items
and Robert K. Thompson explained
the work to be done by the new
committee.
Selected for the committee were
Grady Putnam of the S. g. w.
Cafeteria, chairman; L. Gardner
Moore, Shoreham Hotel, co-chair-
man, and Floyd Rush, Washington
Hotel; Henry B. Williams, Dodge
Hotel; j. w. Marriott, Hot Shoppes;

ansmitter-receiver units.
AS the train left Camden Street
Station, the conductor in the ca
boose received orders from the dis
patcher via radio to proceed to a
point 3 miles south to pick up IL
freight cars loaded with essential
war materials and prefabricated
steel ship sections for the Bethle-
hem Fairfield shipyard.
The conductor, meanwhile, was in
touch with his engineer up ahead
through another unit mounted on
the locomotive. In this way, he was
able to communicate any changes
in orders instantly and without
holding up the train.
Following delivery Of the freight
cars, orders again were received by
radio to return to the station, then
6 miles away as the crow flies.
Overcome Noise.
Bill Murphy. superintendent of
the Baltimore terminal. explained
that under existing operations all
orders are transmitted by the dis
patchers telephone to a block Office.
Here an operator must put out a
red flag by day or a red light at
night, indicating that orders
await the train. When the train
comes to a halt, orders must be
delivered to both engineer and con-
ductor.
To overcome loud noises inevitable
when trains move at high speed,
both engine and caboose radio units
are equipped with loudspeakers
which can be used in place of the
French-type telephone.
Among officials watching the
demonstration were w. N. Krebs,
chief of the safety and special
services division, and Glenn West,

How do the girls on your Blind
Date show dress to 60 out with
their men?" In case you don't
know, this is the radio spot in
which three glamour girls
(chosen from show girls and
photographers models) talk to
six servicemen selected from the
audience on stage telephones
separated by partitions so the
girls have nothing to go by ex-
cept the mans voice and his
Zine" Then, each girl chooses
blind" which one of her two
telephone connections she'd like
for that evenings blind date, at
which point she and her choice
go tripping off to the Stork Club.
Don't worry about the losers;
we did until we heard that they
were given tickets to the best
shows in New York, including
"Oklahoma!o
Anyway, to get back to the
gals, they are the cream of the
glamour crop, which was why
we were interested in what they
wore The amiable Arlene told
us that although they never sug-
gest to the girls what to wear, at
least three out of five of them
wear black with something
that makes a pretty feminine
top"-perhaps a flower or two, a
little lace or just little bare.
We said a little" because these
girls know that little nudity
goes a long way.
AS for herself, Miss Frances
says she needs lots of changes
for her shows and has found that
the most practical basis for her
wardrobe is good-looking black
silk skirt which she varies with
different blouses, broad belts and
jeWelry. The skirt is one that
she cut down from an old eve
ming skirt-an idea that's good
for anybody's wardrobe and
which shows that the glamour
contingent is cutting corners
these days, even as you and I, so
that they, too, can invest more
of their dollars in War Bonds.

Even as You and I
By EveIyn Hayes

We've often wondered how we
would manage if we had to be on
parade all the time; if, for some
reason, people expected us to be
beautiful whenever we made an
appearance. And SO, the other
day when Arlene Frances came
to town to help with the Stage
Door Canteen benefit show we
rushed over to meet her. New
York's current sensation, she is
one of the stars of THE Dough-
girls" also the star of NBC's
amusing show for servicemen,
Blind Date" and, to triple her
threat, she somehow or other
finds time in between to help sell
War Bonds.
We saw the sprightly Miss
Frances shortly after she had got
off the sleeper from New York.
A slim, vivacious brunette with
large eyes and dark curly hair,
she looked very chic that morning
in a simple long-sleeved black
silk dress of the type usually de-
scribed as "shirtwaist." When
she dressed" to make her ap-
pearance at the Canteen, she SIM
ply added a huge gold clip at the
neckline, matching bracelet
and topped her curls with a flirta-
tious black lace "petticoat" hat.
1t turned out that she had worn
the same dress on the train with
a more casual chapeau. All in all,
she was the loveliest walking
proof of our oft-expressed theory
that the soundest clothes invest
ment is a good black dress which
pays such dividends in versatility.
Discussing the problem of
stretching a wardrobe to cover
all occasions, she said that she
has more suits than anything
else because a good suit can go
smartly to any daytime oc-
casion. She suggested that in
the long run, a girl would be wise
to put her money on good suits
and stint, if necessary, on other
items. You can usually fool
your public with an inexpensive
dress camouf1aged with smart
accessories, but you can't fool
anybody with poor suit. OF
course, we don't suspect that

For marriage is not the flower

1t to be. On the contrary, 1t is a
rocky road to travel, full of
thorns and thumps and bumps

tains of disappointment that
have to be scaled and sloughs of
despair that have to be waded
through, and nothing but COM

IF I didn't have anything more to

Mr.. Ickes continued, 'life would be
very easy"
Mr.. Ickes said negotiations for
construction of the 1,250-Mile pipe
line from the Persian Gulf oil fields
to the Mediterranean are being
pushed despite the petroleum in
dustry's opposition. He added that
the honest difference of opinion"
with the Petroleum Industry War
Council over the project was the
only controversial point between
him and the industry group.
Estimating that the line will take
two years to build, the Secretary
said 1t would be beneficial both
during the war and postwar period.
He declared that the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff in indorsing the project con-
sidered its value in case of a future
war. ~
In his statement urging abandon
ment OF the pipeline project the
War Council also said the Petroleum
Reserves Corp, which will finance
construction of the pipeline for the
Government, should be abolished.
If the pipeline is to be built, it
should be done with private capital,
the council declared.
Il take issue with the statement
that this is getting into the oil
business" Mr.. Ickes said when
asked to comment on charges that
the Government is competing with
private industry in the Arabian
venture. This is merely q facility.
I compare it with the Panama.
Canal. That didn't put the Govern
ment into the transportation busi-
ness. We do not want to go into the
oil business"
The pipe line has been approved
by President Roosevelt, who told a
recent news conference the Middle
East oil was necessary not only for
use in the war, but to supplement
the Nations domestic reserves,
which, he said, would last only for
Is to Is years at the, present rate
OF consumption.
AS outlined by Mr.. Ickes, the
pipeline would tap the huge re-
serves of oil in Saudi Arabia
and Kuwait, the latter a British
protectorate, and make approxi-
mately billion barrels available
for Army and Navy use. The pools
are owned by three American oil
companies.
