PARIS-Business is booming al
the U. S. Army department store
in Paris, an impressive marble
walled building which the Ger
mans used as propaganda head
quarters.
The Quartermaster Sales Store
now is doing a daily gross bust,
ness of between $4,000 and $50, 600
all prices set at cost-and the
manager, called the sales officer
bv the Army, estimates 100000
customers have been served since
the opening day, September %.
There, force of rs enlisted men
and 100 French civilian employees
serve clientele confined to Off
GERS, male and female, Red Cross
personnel members of other Allied
forces attached to the U. S. Army
and British civilians.
It's NOT just a matter of going
in. selecting an article and buying
it, however. All customers must
be equipped with a Uniform
Clothing and Accessory Ration
Card" But, there is available any
thing along uniform lines from
caps to shoes, plus such necessary
equipment as sheets and towels.
The store is set up and operated
as nearly as possible like an
American department store. But
unlike it's American prototype NO
effort is made to stimulate sales
and goods are NOT alluringly dis
played.
Capt. Calvin L. Dickerson of
Fort Worth, Texas, is sales officer
of the establishment. He was fin
gerprint expert on the Fort Worth
police force before entering the
Army. Capt. Irene Jennings of
Royal Oak, Mich, is in charge of
the women's department.
All of the enlisted men serving
as clerks were drawn from sales
company composed of men with
previous experience in n1erchan-
dising.
French tailors, supervised by
American filters and consultants
who were brought to France espe-
cially for the job, turn out men
and women in snappy, well-fitted
uniforms.
1--WE serve about 1000 women a
month";" Captain Jennings says.

Housewives Find Il Hard
ToGet Variety In Meals

| housewife is one "restaurateur'
who has to live with her dissatis'
fled customers, who come home
dreaming Of beef steak, only tc
find spaghetti and cheese for the
main course and to be told they arc
lucky to have the cheese.
JUST TRY AND Do TT
But there is one thing the
housewife can do if any member
of her family protests at the lack
Of variety in the meals or brings
up the fact that the family is hav-
ing hot dogs for the third time in
week.
She can turn the family's red
points over to the complaining
member and say, "Okay, you do
the meat marketing for month
and see if you can get any va
riety into the meals.
Even though she can't go out
of business, that is one comeback
the housewife has that is denied
the owner of restaurant.

Yanks Shop In Paris
AT Uncle Sam S Store

"They come in from all over the
continent. We can fit most of the
girls, but if there's any difficulty
about that, it's easy enough to
send them to the tailor for hurry
up job-and most of our jobs are
hurry-up ones"
Each department in the store is
plainly marked: Shirts, )" Goats, -
"Underwear. One of the busiest
places in the busting store is a
counter marked Insignia Off
GERS line up to purchase service
ribbons and insignia. A first Lieu
tenant with silver bars which had
seen long service on his field
jacket buys two sets of captain s
bars-his promotion has come
through. A lieutenant colonel buys
two chevrons which show service
in World War /.
In a corner of the room a boy
in helmet tries on an overcoat-
an operation somewhat co.nplica-
ted by the fact his arm is in a
cast.
In another part of the store a
second lieutenant stands before a
mirror adjusting garrison cap
at various jaunty angles.
French girls, most of them with
the enormously high coiffeurs cur
rently affected by women here,
work beside enlisted men, write
sales slips and ring up sales-all
sales are cash, Of course - on
American cash registers.
Our job is to see that every
thing an officer needs..is available
and available fast" Captain Dick
erson says. "Our aim is to see
that they get what they need and
get back on their job-or back to
seeing the sights of Paris if they'r re
on leave"

Rv RUTH MILLETT

At a meeting in New York Of
the Society of Restaurateurs,, Its
president, Paul Henkel, pointed OUT
that many restaurants might have
to close, despite the heaviest pa
tronage in years, simply because
Of the difficulty in getting meat.
ut is almost impossible to make
up menus of any variety except to
use fish and eggs, which not every
one can eat" said Mr.. Henkel.
He isn't letting housewives, strug.
Cling with too few red points and
practically empty meat cases, In
on any secret.
In fact the average housewife
is likely to be bit envious OF
the restaurants that CAN 60 out OF
business. She can't.
She is stuck with the job OF
feeding her family no matter
how serious the food shortage be-
comes. And more than that, the
