Less Butfern1iIk,
More Cream
FDA Rules Also
Likely to Cut
Chocolate Milk

More cream and less buttermilk
and chocolate milk are in store for
Washington consumers as the re.
suit OF recently issued amendment
to the October order, which limited
milk sales to IS per cent OF June
quotas, District dairymen said today.
Under the amendment issued by
Roy F. Hendrickson, director of the
Food Distribution Administration.
and made retroactive to January 1.
George Irvine, FDA marketing ad.
ministrator for the Washington
area, has been authorized to permit
dairymen to shift to milk production
solids now used in production of by
products, or to shift solids now used
IN producing milk into production
oi cream, provided the additional
cream sales made possible do not
exceed 100 per cent OF June cream
sales.
Buttermilk, chocolate milk and
cottage cheese are the three chief
by-products. Since Washington
dairymen already have discontinued
manufacture Of cottage cheese in
order to release to milk and cream
the solids 1t required, further in
creases IN cream production will be
at the expense Of present buttermilk
and chocolate milk quotas.
Order Called "Good News"
"The order is good news to cream
consumers, for 1t means they will be
able to get 100 per cent of what they
used in June" Clark Diamond of the
Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy
and a member of the Washington
Marketing Administrators Commit.
tee, said today.
A. L. Thompson of Thompsons
Dairy, another member of the ad.
vlsory committee, said the amend.
ment represented a definite relax.
alton OF the October order.
Otto Phillips of the Wakefield
Dairy, also a member of the ad-
visory committee, said that under
the amendment his dairy would in
crease its cream sales IS per cent.
he pointed out that the order which
limited cream sales to rs per cent
OF the sales in June, low cream
consumption month, actually had
had the effect of reducing cream
sales during the high-consumption
winter period by approximately so
per cent.
Rules Flexibility Lauded.
M. H. Burchell of the Alexandria
Dairy Products Co., said his dairy
was still working on plans for re-
ALLEGATION of its solids under the
amendment, but asserted that "it
Is not going to do us much good"
The dairymen expressed approval
OF the flexibility permitted under
the amendment whereby, when
cream demand drops of and the de-
mand for by-products increases
with the return of hot weather. they
VIII be able to shift their solids back
to the manufacture of products
most in demand.

Service Girls
Prefer Beauty
Kits AS Gifts
BY ANN STEVICK

WASHINGTON, Aug. is You
will have only about a month of
shopping days before Christmas
mailing period for overseas gifts,
which begins September Is. This
year you're likely to be sending a
gift to an overseas service wo-
man, too, so polls are being taken
by Army Service Group and red
Cross to find out what service wo-
men want that can be put into the
regulation boxes IL 3-4 inches,
4 inches deep-which War Produc-
ton Board says will soon be on
the market in bigger quantities.
So far the bright house-coat is a
favorite, with short, easy-to-wash
brunch-coats getting most demand.
Warm, attractive pajamas will
please girls in cold climates. Per-
fumed soap looks good for any eli
mate.
The incidentals you wouldn't
think of for homefolks' gifts are
being asked for by the service
girls-bobby pins, buttons, hairnets,
blouses, regulation neckties. Gift t
senders report that the size of the
box is not too discouraging. A num-
Der of garments, such as blouses
and underclothes can be packed in,
and small packages of nail polish,
soap. saihet, bobby pins, or indies
tructible candy wedged in the soft
cloth.

Old Maids May
Have Opinions
Worth Hearing
BY RUTH MILLETT

Maybe it is a mistake for mar
ried women to drop the Mrs. before
their names or use their maiden
names when they write, go into
politics, or become active in any
kind of public affairs.
Because more persons than you
would believe still think that they
can dismiss the opinions and at
titudes of a woman simply by
calling her an old maid.
1 know about this because hap
pen to write under my maiden
name, and whenever 1 write cob
uYnn that turns out to be contro-
versial enough to make some folks
hopping mad, I always get letters
that harp on the "if you were a
wife and mother theme.
1t seems that a great many
people are still old-fashioned
enough in their thinking to assume
that no-one but married woman,
sitting at home bringing up fam
lily, has right to any opinions on
women in business, on marriage,
or on children. So anything per-
son they assume to be single says
about such matters can be quickly
and contemptuously dismissed with
eff you were married., or IF
you were mother yourelf.'
''W And M
A strange thing about that kind
of an attitude is that it isn't typi-
cally masculine or feminine. Let
tiers of that sort come as often
from one sex as from the other.
1t is just handy, easy way Of
discounting anything woman says
if you don't happen to agree with
it, and think she may be Miss,
rather than a Mrs.
Maybe instead of just using their
married names when they speak
out in public married women who
are also mothers should adopt the
honorary title of wv and M" to
stand for wife and Mother To
the people who still believe that
no woman who isn't wife and
mother can possibly know what she
is talking about, that title should
be impressive. Maybe after this
