BayeuX.
Traffic was quite heavy for the first half of the
way but then gradually thnned out as it always
does when you get near the front.
The countryside here is rather flat and as we
neared the town, we could tank tracks in broad
wheat fields.
The wrecks of burnt tanks and scattered
around off the road and IN the fields and noW eUen
above the NOISE of jeeP, could hear our
artillery booming heads.

BRIDES FIND GROOMS
MORE PLENTIFUL THAN
ITEMS FOR HOPE CHEST

Assortments of crystalware and
table glass have been cut down.
Again most manufacturers are
turning out only the most popular
patterns, but in general substan-
tial supply is being made.
Filling your linen closet will
take a bit Of shopping because
textiles are getting short. Manu-
facturers are being urged to turn
out standard practical sheet,
with "a threads going each way,
instead of the fine smooth luxury
types brides used to think suitable
for their hope-chests. There Is
lots of flax and there is an inkling
that more of it is going into profit
able luxury tablecloths, less into
dress goods. All-wool blankets are
much more plentiful but bindings
are held to narrow limits
The bride will still have to make
do with a paper, or more rarely q
wooden dust-pan, unless she can
come by metal one that has been
in the family for years.

something new and other women try
to tear her apart. Let her get
little power and other women never
rest content until they have dis
credited her.
80 men rule the world because
they act together. In business and
in the professions their motto is
Scratch my back and I'll scratch
yours" But the guiding principle
of women is Let's scratch her eyes
out before she has chance to
scratch ours"
He's right, of course. Women
have so little power they are talk
ing wistfully of maybe having a
woman at the peace table, when
they should, of course, be equally
represented with men.
NO CREDIT
They have managed to get into
the professions that once wouldn't
have them-but for the msot part
they take the Flooding work men
don't want. They now have a
chance to wear their country's
uniform-but the women who are
wearing uniforms get little credit
from other women for the job they
are doing. What credit they
get comes from generals.

AS an example, let me present
Evelynne johnson, girl armament
worker who, although she matches
skill with men, holds the title Of
Queen of Sweethearts" of the
Douglas Aircraft Companys Santa
Monica plant. Whether Evelynne,
seen only in her workaday clothes,
could have won the beauty crown
is a matter of conjecture, but the
fact remains that she turns Gin
derella after hours and shines.
She takes time, she says, to whip
up the fluff in hair that's been
pressed down; to coax back curls
that have been flattened out by a
snood. With one eye on the clock,
she strips off old and re-applies
new make Upland this time adds
the fancy touches: eye-shadow,
mascara, bluish-red lipstick that
holds its enticing color under arti-
fetal light.
Evelynne has pretty dresses in
her wardrobe to wear these sum-
mer nights. Thinks such clothes
are psycho1ogically important to

be well-ventilated and kept at a
temperature of 65 to 10 degrees.
The childs bed should be made
with care-the lower sheet drawn
tightly and kept free of wrinkles
the pillow and sheets clean and
fresh. The type and amount OF
bedding used should be regulated
according to the temperature OF
the room. Avoid keeping the child
so warmly covered and dressed that
he becomes restless and fretful.
PROTECT FROM DRAFTS
Ordinary pajamas or night
clothes are all that he needs in
bed. When he sits up in bed he
should have on sweater or jacket
to protect his shoulders.
A convenient shoulder wrap
may be made from bath towel
if necessary. Place the towel, length
wise, around the shoulders. Fold
one edge back about three inches
to form a collar, and pin the towel
in front at the neck and over the
chest with safety pins. Draw each
end of the towel together around
the arms, pinning it with a safety
pin at wrist and elbow.
The child could not be allowed
to walk to the bathroom unless the
doctors says he may. The exposure
to drafts, and the exertion of get
ting in and out of bed, may only
prolong his illness.
Firmness may be necessary in
dealing with sick child, but 1t

and enormous ones. Makes drama

Plastics crash the bag field in
