WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

Back III the good old days of Sun
day afternoon drives in the family
automobile, Mama could get back at
Papa for telling her how to vote,
asking other women to please let
her have their recipes, etc, by doing
little back seat driving. 1t was
wonderful outlet for pent-up in
dignation over being treated like
nit-wit in so many circumstances.
But women haven't been able to
do much back seat driving since
gas rationing.
1t might interest all those frus-
trated by the loss of their feminine
prerogative to know that a Mon
neapolis woman has found an even
better way of putting Papa in his
place than back seat driving in
car.
She has a job as conductor on
a street car and under her present
schedule her husband is motorman
on her car several hours each week
That means she gets to tell him
when to 60 ahead and when to stop.
If street car companies in other
cities need more women conduc-
tors than they can recruit it might
be a good idea for them to canvass
the wives of motormen, pointing out
the back seat driving advantages
of the job.
Sure there's a catch. The street
car companies might lose their mo-
tormen almost as fast as they took
on their wives as conductors.
Still, with all the propensity of
wives for back-seat driving, men
still clung to the wheels of their
cars instead of saying, Here, if
| you can do il SO much better, you'd
better drive" So maybe they would
even put up with wives as street
car conductors.

RETAIL WRAPPING SUPPLIES
FALL FAR BELOW DEMANDS
BY ANNE STEVICK
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Tall talk
about short paper has SO far failed
to come true, but War Production
Board paper boys predict that the
normal fall shopping spree, plus
Christmas shopping, will bring it
home to you.
Retail wrapping supplies are run
ming so per cent under 1912. Your
department. and grocery stores are
ing portable without paper will be
wrapped. Some stores plan a stamp
system to mark unWrapped pack
ages and foil shoplifters. Brown
paper bags will be SO precious that
it is planned to mark them Handle
with care. You can use it again"
Boxes for ice-cream are already
so short some dealers ask you to
bring your own containers. Heavy
shopping bags will be few and far
between. You're advised to be ready
for fall shopping with a homemade
shopping bag made out of a rem
nant from a chintz drape, ticking,
or discarded tweed skirt.
No formal order is planned to
regulate retail Wrappings, but WPB
has given suggestions to retail stores
on cutting Gown wrapping and use
OF paper and paperboard in dis
plays. With 3,500,000 fewer cords
OF pulpwood cut this year, and 33
per cent more paper needed than
in l943, strict conservation plus
more salvage is the only answer
about 100000 pounds more is the
estimate. Fall will bring intensive
campaigns to gather up waste paper
through Boy Scout and American
Legion groups. Paper Troopers from
the local school will be at your

rank chevrons, for your weekly pa

part of the manicure putting on
polish SO that it doesn't look like
a homegrown job - calls for tricks.
From a clever girl who has just
these up her sleeve radios sing
ing star, Lucille Manners you
can learn how.
First, she says, use a base coat to
keep the colored jacket that's TO
come out of the grooves. Next
steps, according 10 Lucille, are to
brace your wobbly wrist by hold
ing your hand firmly against q
table; to take out a sparing brush
full of polish; to outline narrow
band of color around sides and base
of one nail. Then-here is the rest
of her procedure-With up and down
strokes, fill in color, beginning at
the moon and pulling down to the
nail tip, where surplus can be
thumbed off.
Clean up all polish s'rays on one
finished nail before going on to the
next. Waiting for smears to hard

tougher to remove.

OPA Announces
Point Changes

OPA Chief Chester Bowles said
point values for the choice cuts of
pork loins and hams we're restored
because of a seasonal decline in
supply and HI Wy buying by the
armed services and civilians.
The new pork values range frcm
four to eight points Pr pound for
loins and two to nine points for
hams. Whole hams average five
points per pound. The values are
about two points higher cn the av-
erage than the level that prevailed
before pork was removed from ra-
tioning.
The new point-free status for
utility beef was announced last
week. Bowles said that though there
was no overall increase in the beef
supply there was a seasonal in
crease in the lower grades due to
reduction of herds on the range and
shipment of the poorer animals to
market.
Point values for Commercial" +"
good" and choice" beefsteaks and
roaSts will continue at their pres
ent high level, OPA said, because
many areas az in short supply" "
Other beef cuts, such as short ribs,
plates, briskets and shanks, con-
tinue point-free in all grades.
Bowles said utility grades of
lamb were made point free because
it was feared that such cuts would
not sell with similar beef grades off
the ration list.
The OPA also announced that
another l0-point red stamp-D5-
would be validated next Sunday
and would be good indefinitely.
