SWING SHIFT SCHEDULE.
(From Mrs. w. L. M, Alexandria,
This is my first contribution to

sistent reader since its inception. A
recent issue carried a letter from a
lady whose husband Is on the
Swing" shift and she is having
trouble adjusting herself. MY hus-
band has had. that shift for some
months now, and speaking as one
who knows, I can say it isn't easy to
adjust to it. I do all my own work,
take care Of a 2-year-old son and
manage to get in some Red Cross
work, thanks to my husband being
wiling to mind the baby on occa-
sional mornings.
First, one should make up ones
mind that it is topsy-turvy life,
and then make the necessary changes
in schedule and never mind what
friends and neighbors think. (Once

Wartime Hospitality

Because ration!ng and shortages
make generous mealtime hospi-
tality q bit Of problem some-
times, it's becoming more and
more usual to invite friends for
coffee and dessert.
At this time of year, strawberry
shortcake is a gala dessert that
ranks tops with most people and
makes minimum demands on the
sugar bank.
You can serve the shortcake with
a sauce of crushed, lightly sweet
ened berries or you can achieve a
whipped cream for the topping by
using a very simple recipe that
calls for thin cream, milk and gran
ulated gelatin.

CLEANING AN ALUMINIUM PAN.
(From Mrs. A. F. r., Anacostia.)
To Mrs. ]. L. T., Bethesda: Quite
by accident found a wonderful
solution to cleaning an aluminium
pan that has gotten dark inside from
boiling water. Just cook some dried
apricots in it. Be sure to cover the
apricots with water as high up as
the dark mark goes and let them
cook long and slow. The pan be-
comes clean and shiny INSIDE and
imagine dried peaches or pears
would work as well, if you can't get
apricots.

''kI5MET" LEAVES CAPITOL THEATRE
 AFTER 3-DAY RUN

Apparently Hollywood now goes to greater lengths than ever to insure authenticity in it's big productions.
 When Director William Dieterle and Producer Everett Riskin started preparations for "Kismet," the Ron aid Colman- -Marlene Dietrich Tech nicolor film showing for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theatre, they were determined to capture the flavor of ancient Bagdad and the spirit of the time in the settings and costumes.
 Months were consumed in study of books, photographs and letters by Metro Goldwyn- Mayors research, art and wardrobe departments. Even outsiders contributed suggestions.
 A member of the U. S. Army sta- tioned in England helped with the costumes. The soldier, Sgt. J. F. Herwood, secured photographs of Bedouin dancing girls from the Brit ish museum and sent them to his sister, Marian Herwood, assistant to Irene, M-G-M executive designer. Harem costumes were developed from the photographs to take full advantage of Technicolor.

Leathernetks, Lady Variety,
 Right on Jobs
By BONNIE WILEY

PEARL HARBOR - Lady leather necks are rugged. After three months overseas, the Marine Corps Women's Reserve has the situation well in hand out here in the Pacific and does everything from greasing jeeps to patrolling it's own camp.
 In fact, if you want to start an argument in this spic and span fe- male camp, make some statment such as:
 T understand it takes quite a force of men to maintain this camp for you girls"
 To show you bow wrong you are, the lady Marines, cool-looking in their pert green and white seer sucker uniforms, will walk you all over the lot, pointing out that the Women Marines are more than 95 per cent self maintaining" The other five percent are two brawny male Marines, one a guard who stands at the front gate (and don't try to get into this camp with out proper credentials), and the other a lad who heaves the heavier galley equipment around. ~ The women Marines have their own MPs, who wear the regula- tion armbands and carry billy clubs i flashlights and whistles. Twenty of them constitute the interior guard company, working in pairs of four hour watches and walking four to five miles per watch.
 On this particular tour Private Helen I. Vernon (749 Gum street North Vernon, Ind) was receiving orders for her four-hour watch from the sergeant of the guard, Platoon Sergeant Helen M. DeRego Q723 Central Avenue, Alameda, Calif0 Comely Pfc Elvera A. Haggebloom (964 Lowry avenue, N.
