SAFETY FIRSTS FOR FURS

cedure to use to guard your fur against heat and moths. Pick the coolest closet in the house for stor- ing. Obviously it won't be in the attic, near the furnace, or hot pipes. It should be one which doesn't have to be opened often. In it, make a place for your furs. Before storing, pack in old-fashior1- ed moth balls, or use whatever method of annihilation you've found to be effective for woolen clothes-and wrap in tar paper and use gummed tape to seal air tight.
 AS an extra precaution, haul your furs cue every three or four weeks during the summer months for a check-up. Take out of the closet to air and examine for moth larvae or grubs. In case they have, at tached themselves to your furs, beat them off, fortify again with your moth killers and restore.

Point Values Zero On Meats

Point Values Zero On Meats
 With point values on most meats set at zero, we can now return to the commonsense method of buying meat on the basis of its food value and its money value. The Nutrition Committee feels that since the ad- vent of food rationing the shopper has lost his perspective of money values and has turned his attention to point values only. Now We are faced with situation comparable to that which existed before ration ing was necessary. The committee has always emphasized the pur- chase of food in relation to food value received rationing or no rationing. Now that more meat Is available we must not overlook all the other essential foods in the diet and go on meat buying spree.
 All meat, regardless of cut or kind, supplies a high quality pro- tein, iron and B vitamins. Pork is the highest in thiamine value of all meat products and is of reasonable cost. The glandular organs, liver, kidney and heart, add variety and food value to the menu. Although the demand is generally for calves liver supply comparable food values for less money. Therefore, it is pos- sible to get the food value supplied

When it comes to real 1nealtime enjoyment, ice cream is at the top of the list. Whether served plain or in combination with cake, fruit, nuts, or sauces 1t can't be beat for taste-appeal.
 Civilians are sharing their ice cream with the armed forces. And government authorities know of ice creams nutritive and morale values. While there is no restriction on the amount of ice cream available to the armed forces, civilians are lim- tied to 65 per cent of the former supply.
 The next time you have ice cream and are looking for 8 new menu idea that is simple to make and Oh! so good!-try serving ice cream or sherbet topped with Marshmallow- mint sauce.

or fight under
 intolerable conditions, Some are in concentration camps completely cut off from loved ones. These women have shown Spartan cour- age. Shall 8 single American wo- man do less?
 KEEP YOURSELF OCCUPIED
 This is no time for nervous breakdowns, despair or self pity. There is important work to be done. There are homes to be kept intact until the family can be reunited. There are children to be fed and clothed, kept off the street and giv- en the security that is their right.
 There are all kinds of opportun- ities in the business or industial field for women to take the places of men who are serving their country There is no better cure for worry and grief than purposeful occupation. And evey able-bodied woman, regardless of age or experi- ence, should find something useful to do for the good of her own mo- rale and that of the community in which she lives.
 I am sure that the men who are doing the front-line fighting would agree with me that although the care of the home may seem less glamorous than working in a war industry, 1t is no less important or patriotic. If you have not enough to do to keep you busy in your own home, yo can help some other woman take care of her family, and possibly assist the teachers and so- cial workers in combating juvenile delinquency.

 GONE TOO FAR
 Then hotels in crowded cities came along with the suggestion that men need not take of their hats in elevators because their hats took up less room on their heads. Wo- men riding on trains were asked to let service men have first chance at getting seats. When riding on cross- country busses women were asked to stand aside until all the service men were on.
 Well. it looks as though maybe women have gone too far in re- lieying men of the necessity for be- ing chiyalrous.
 Tn Chicago the other day a young woman was knocked down and badly injured when four men attempted to get on the street car ahead of her.
 Maybe We women had better quit being gentlemen and go back to being ladies - before 1t is too late. Though maybe 1t is too late already.

Beduties' Hints Give Figure
 A Lift With Built-in Bra
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

A girl can back up today's back less fashions-that goes for every thing from play togs to evening clothes-only if she knows what to do about the foundation gar- ment that goes underneath.
 "Since the bustline is rarely at its best without support" says Lynn Bari, screen lovely next to be seen in 'Tampico," you have to do one of two things with back less clothes which are not self equipped with foundation: have a bra made into the garment, or take a ready-made and build 1t in."
 Lynn prefers to have a bra of simple cotton jersey made up and put into her clothes. She says you can do likewise with the aid of @ custom -order corsetiere, a dress maker or your own clever hand.
 If, however, you prefer a ready made bra, look first for low-cut backless affair, which usually is the kind designed for evening wear. It could qualify for any kind of backless outfit. Not finding one of those, you can, with little adjust ment, make a daytime bra do. Some times all you need do is to lengthen straps.
 Could be, though, that to make a ready-made i'll the bill, you will need to extend with ribbons the two tabs that ride high so that they will be long enough to cross low in the back and bring forward to snap around your waist in front.

will more than double the list of things the farmer can get by spec ial certificate. Tire pumps, which showed up as number one hard-to- get necessity on a recent farm survey, are expected to be added to the list along with wrenches.
 MORE TIRES FOR FARMERS
 Plans are under way to get metal storage tanks on the market again since the wooden substitutes are becoming scarcer than hens teeth It will take time, however. More f1ashlight batteries and galvanized pails are on their way to farmers. Dairy farmers are promised less trouble in buying water heaters. Metal tools such as pliers, drill bits, wrenches, and cold chisels should be more plentiful as basic metals are easier to get. Wooden handles, however, for hammers, shovels, pitchforks and the like, are an in- creasing headache.
 Farmers rated harness fourth on their list of troublesome lacks, but they'll have to be patient. The husky leather for new harness just isn't to be had in any great amount, Ingenuity and cussedness will have to be used in place of new hay rope, too. Manila rope for hoisting hay is not coming from the Philip pines. It is a moot question as yet in WIPE whether mere jute rope will have to be made for farmers.
 Larger rationing quotas of tires for farm implements have been given for May. Fencing has been given some encouragement. Farmers won't get much help about com-
