WOMEN

Now is the time for the war bride al
home to start thinking how her soldier
husband will like her when he comes
home from the Var IT has been proven
by the Social Hygiene Society, experts
in untangling martial difficulties, that
the experience of war make husbands
changed men. This is due to the tough
ening they get through their basic
training, the danger and discomforts
of battle and the breadth of viewpoint
which comes from travel. These hus-
bands are more likely TO expect more
lectually.
The society pointed out that the di-
vOrce rate is at its highest peak since
1918 and offers some recommendations
to help women meet their spouses on
common ground.
1t suggests that the war bride get a
job, buy bonds and bank as much as
possible Learn to be IA good home
maker, because soldiers have been
taught a new respect for neatness and
cleanliness. Keep informed on social
and political trends and spend leisure
time constructively in home-frOnt vol
unteer work.
The society also warns parents of
war brides to refuse to be crutch to
their daughters by insisting they as
sllme their own responsibilities, make
their own decisions and live on their
own income.
Equal chance at jobs with equal pay
i'm the postwar period is the aim OF
ten million women represented by
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs and National Women's Trade
Union League of America.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers found that two-thirds of
women workers want postwar work.
The women in lower pay brackets are
the ones most likely to return to their
homes while the higher paid ones plan
to remain on their jobs.
The equality resolution supported by
these powerful women's organizations
will be presented at both National
Political Conventions. Women definite
ly want to know where they are going.
The girls score another inning over
the boys having been found to be better
farm workers. Cornell University's
rural sociology department reported.

If you've had difficulty with leg
makeup smea ring and getting on your
clothes and furniture, take heart for
there are new and improved varieties
on the market this year.
There's a wonderful mitt which you
mOisten and smooth over your legs to
turn them a lovely copper color An
other brand comes in tube like
vanishing cream and when sm0Othed
over wet leg looks like nylOns.
But the most satisfactory bare leg
makeup of all is sun oil that tans
the legs with few sunbaths. Then
just little hand cream rubbed over
the natural tan gives clean, sleek
appearance
A new cuticle remover kit on the
market contains bottle of oil lubri-
cant and IA plastic dispenser that looks
like Il fountain pen. The dispenser
holds enough oil for eight manicures
or pedicures. You unscrew the top, fill
the reservoir with oil and it is ready
for use. Place the stick in the center
of the nail, press once and out comes
enough oil to remove cuticle from one
nail. With tiattened tip of stick you
work oil around nail and remove cuti-
Gle with tissue. No waste, no mess and
it's safe to use.
Fatigue is one of the most usual
causes of womens quitting their war
time jobs points out Mary Anderson,
Women's Bureau, L. s. Department Of
Labor 1T is well known that good
posture helps prevent fatigue, and
mature and old women have grown to
rely on their supporting garments to
retain their posture and prevent
fatigue"
Because flexible garments are and
will be needed by women war workers
it is imperative that every precaution
be taken to make girdles containing
rubber last as long as possible.
The present need far exceeds the
supplies until more rubber is made
available to the corset industry. Syn
thetic rubber is supplying less than 10
per cent of the needs of the industry.

Five years after the war is over the
word plastics will be as much of a
commercial and household term as the
word automobile is today. Plastics as
a material will be used generally In
manufacturing and fabrication.
Such important industries as auto
mobile, aviation, marine construction
building, household appliances, furni-
ture and machinery. will be radically
affected by the use of plastics.
The plastics of yesterday will be
outmoded by the plastics of tomorrow
Because of their great possibilities and
unlimited demands their uses now are
beyond the widest dreams of their
discOverers.
If tOmorrow's world should suddenly
be deprived of many of its metals,
glass or wood, plastics would replace
them so rapidly that their loss would
scarcely be felt.
There will be thousands of new
items of merchandise that were just
fanciful dreams before the war, due to
the new uses of plastics.
After nearly a century of expert
chemical method of dupli-
eating quinine, identical in every re-
spect to the antimalarial drug extract
ed from the bark of the cinchOna trees
has been developed. However, it is not
certain that it can be manufactured
on large scale for use during the
present war.

Army Uses Million
Yurds Cotton Twill
Per Working Doy

ATLANTA, Ca, Especially - Cotton
from the fields of Dixie will be as much
in demand this year as last to meet the
needs of the Army Quartermaster, it
was indicated today at Headquarters,
Fourth Service Command, in announcing
that the need for one item alone
herringbone twill-will run about 1,ooo,-
900 yards per working day.
That figure, covering anticipated 1914
requirements for that cloth. is about the
amt as for 1943, but a substantial jump
is to be seen in the procurement OF
sateen, that tough fabric which is made
into combat garments for infantry, para
troopers, mountain troops and men Of
the armored force. This, however, is
to be offset to some extent by a sharp
reduction in the purchase of combed
uniform twills for barracks and dress
wear.
The cotton duck program indicates
demands for substantial yardage of
heavier goods, necessitating the pro-
curements during the first six months
of 1914 at about the same level as the
last six months of 1943. The same stu
alton exists with regard to shelter tent
duck but requirements for other light
weight duck are expected to be small.
1t is forseen that an increase will
occur in the purchase Of osnaburg.
which is widely used in 'baling and
packing material for overseas ship
ments. Webbing requirements will see
a decrease, but the need for p~aulins
will increase.
1t is expected that the need for wool
ems will drop about &C per cent due,
among other things, to the greatly less
ened requirements for overcoating ma
terial and a change to the field jacket,
which eliminates the use of wool lining

Milton Parrish Of Minneapolis came
to New York for a visit the other day
and in taking q tour of the city, he was
carried back to his boyhood days. He
found that the same lecturer who de-
scribed the sights of the city to him
way back in 1904 was on hand to do it
again this time. Parrish talked to the
veteran sightseeing spieler about it and
they proved that this was true. The
lecturer is Pop Murreli, who's been in
this unusual business for forty years
but he says this was the oldest CO.
incidence he has ever had-a passenger
remembering him after thirty-nine vars.
Pop is an interesting fellow besides. He
claims to have the most complete library
of New York City that ever existed
right in his head. He says the school
children stump him most. They ask him
questions as what does the Empire
State Building weigh? How many bricks
are there in it? How much steel? How
many windows? 2" Pop says he knows the
answer to these things toe. He claims
that the older New Workers. think they
know it all but he soon proves to them
that they don't. "Do you know" he
asked, "that one out of every seventeen
Americans is a New Yorker living in
100000 of the country's area?" No, !
didn't know it, but it is interesting.

Sailor Jumps
Or Falls From

The condition of Thomas Walker,
81 years old, Louisville, KY, Naval
base band member, who allegedly
fell six stories from a loop hotel
early Sunday morning, is good. He
is confined to the Wold-C Chamber
lain sick bay.
According to reports, Walker
was found in the hotel room with
a 17-year-old girl by hotel detec-
tives.
When Walker was found in the
room, the officers locked the door,
left the room to summon the Navy
Shore Patrol. Walker disappeared
and was later found injured six
floors below on an adjoining roof.
Walker told questioners that he
hung from the window by his hands,
finally letting go because of the
cold. First reports that Walker
had suffered a broken back were
found to be false.
The girl, a probationer from
st. Paul, was questioned by the
police. She had rented the room at
2 am. Sunday.
Walkers mother, Mrs. Beulah
Walker and his sister, Mrs. Flor
ence Tilford, came here to be at
the injured sailors bedside. They
returned home Wednesday when his
injuries were found to be much less
serious than previously thought.
