 Frozen Assets As BritOnS Shed Elm
By ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Staff Correspondent

London - Britons are wearing the very minimum of underclothes these days, and some have com pletely dispensed with them. It isn't that the English winter has sud- denly turned tropical. but English men, according to an official report, would rather spend their few pre- cious yearly clothing coupons on outer wear.
 Of course, a small percentage mainly men - never did wear shorts and shirts and such. by choice. But now they have been joined by a great many others, especially women. who have dis covered that by discarding super fiuouS lingerie, or mending what they have until 1t falls apart, they can have an extra pairs of shoes or jacket.

-HoME FRONT FORECAsT-
Plastic Pipes For Post War
By ANN STEvICK NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan.-New ways of installing plumbing, electrical wir- ing, and heating pipes for economy and conservation of materials have been worked out in the cast war housing program which is on its last lap. Many of them may turn out to be applicable for postwar use in low-coSt housing. A plastic water-pipe-called an alternate for metal, now that substitute is an ugly word in government semantics is a boon for future hard winters because it expands in freeze in- stead of bursting.
 The National Housing Agency re- ports the completion of 3,400, 800 housing units accommodating T. 50O,O00 people. Only 145,000 more are planned for 1914, so MIA is encouraging communities to step up their preparations for big post war housing program in 1914.
 HOME-FRONT HOYLE
 What every earnest home-front pledger should know about coupon exchanges among friends is told in answers to questions coming in to the Ofice of Price Administration. You now can give away rationed food as @ gift, but gifts of ration stamps are still taboo. You can ex- change shoe ration stamps among members of your family, or give new shoes as gift. However, to prevent black market stamp trans actions, you are not supposed to detach a shoe stamp nor lend your ration book for gift shoes. In order to be strictly within regulations, you must go along when the shoes are bought and give your ration stamp when you pay for the shoes. ODDS AND ENDS
