NEW YORK, June 20.-U.H-The
Queen Mary, largest and most
famous of luxury liners, steamed
into her American berth publicly
today for the first time since the
war began, but it had been an
other voyage for fighting men on
ly.
None of her 1885 passengers,
liberated American war prisoners,
troops headed for the Pacific
Navy officers and Army Nurse
Corps personnel knew much about
the ship when it left Glasgow, Scot
land, last Friday.
But First 1t. John G.. Winant.
Jr., %, son of the United States
ambassador to Great Britain,
among the ex-war prisoners, show
ed the boys and girls around.
1--WE been on her twice before,
in peacetime," Winant shouted in
an interview from ship to shore.
A Flying Fortress pilot, Winant
was shot down over Muenster 20
months ago He was imprisoned
at Sagan, 80 miles north of Bres-
lau. Then, last January %, he was
removed with other prisoners,
who marched through the snow rs
miles and then were loaded into
box cars and sent to Mooseburg
camp north of Munich.
AS the l,004 foot ship, one of
the three largest ever built, stem
med past the Statue of Liberty,
the servicemen and women who
formed ribbons of humanity around
the huge decks and made human
polkadots out of every portfolio,
wept and cheered.
A WAC band on a small ship
played Roll Out the Barrel for
the homecoming song.
The music died and was picked
up again by an all Negro Army
band at the end of pier 80, the
Queen Mary's dock By p. m. she
had locked. But the men were left
on board, cheering and shauting.
Hey, let us out of here" They
piled into Winant's cabin, just
above the gangplank.
Passengers included the first
general hospital detachment and
the first military police battalions
to come back from Europe.

Hand ManeuverS
By BETTY CLARKE
p NeWsfeatures Beauty Editor

Women's hands are busy in Of
fees, war plants, canteens and
in the home but it becomes some
thing of a problem to keep hands
as well groomed and lovely as
they were in leisure days.
Adele Girard, attractive swing
harpist, works with her hands
long hours each day practicing and
performing, and manages to keep
her hands lovely despite the fact
that the taut harp strings are
hard on the fingers.
Until she worked out a regular
routine for the care of her hands,
Miss Girard says she feared she
was going to have to consider
them a casualty to her career.
Now the care of her hands is
part of her bedtime beauty rou-
tine.
She begins by first washing and
scrubbing her hands with nail
brush and almond meal soap.
While they are still soapy, she
goes over the palms of her hands
and her finger tips with small
pumice stone to remove any hard
or dry skin. After she has dried
them carefully, she goes over the
cuticle of her nails with an
orange stick dipped in oil. Hand
cream is applied sparingly and is
used to massage hands and fin
gers. For the palms and back she
uses the tips of he fingers in a
rotary motion, for the fingers a
pulling one from the base to the
tips.
She does her finger exercises in
bed when she is completely re-
Taxed. For upplen ess, she
stretches he- h nds, fingers
spread, to their full length until
she feels distinct pull and then
curls them into a fist Then she
lets her hands hang completely
relaxed and slowly rotatoes them
from the wrists Sometimes she
exercises to strengthen he fin
gers by running scales on the
imaginary keyboard.
Just before turning off the light,
she applies hand lotion again and
in blustery weather slips on a

We're on the road to victory-no doubt of it. But it's long, hard road still to be travelled a path to peace built on the sacrifices of our fighting men and the single-hearted devotion of all of us at home.
 Our soldiers, sailors and marines will do their part, but tbink of it-every bullet, every drop of gasoline, all the vast equipment of war must be transported over thousands of miles to fill their needs.
 More of everything will be needed. More B-29's, more tanks, halftracks, jeeps and trucks, more rockets, mortars, airborne radar. A whole new air force is in creation-huge new bombers dwarfng the superfortress new jet-propelled combat planes, the P-s0 or Shoot ing Star," coming off the lines by thousands. It's up to as to help pay for those things our
