BETTER WAY

"It is better TO apply new
coal this way than to put
IL in through the firing
door, because the very ac-
tiOn of the stOker worm
would dislodge any coke
formation which might he
left in the retOrt from the
last fire, and such leftover
coke formations could
cause trouble with the new
fire.
Put some wadded paper
on top Of the retort; weight
il down with a couple of
sticks of kindling; ignite
the paper; then turn on the
stoker.

THE WOMEN--- Women Hold World Records For Doing Multiple Jobs
WE, THE WOMEN.

tions, is the daily life of thousands of war wives:
 Officially, Mrs. War Wife is a housewife, but
 During her husbands absence she is doubling as father and mother to her kids.
 She has taken on all her hus- bands responsibilities around the house, and all the family business transactions he once handled. A LONG DAY
 She has taken over the work of the laundress who used to come on Mondays.
 She is pinch hitting for the clean ing woman who used to come on Friday.
 She is delivery man" for the butcher, the grocer, the department store.
 She has taken on the job of can- ming.
 Her day starts at 6 o'clock in the morning when the baby gets her first bottle, and ends at eight o'clock at night when the last child is tucked in for the night-except for the mending and other odd jobs that she doesn't find time for the day time, odd jobs usually keep her busy until ten.
 After that? Why, then she is free to sit down and write a cheerful letter to her husband. Copyright 1945, NEA Service, Inc0

200 Cots In
 Boston Show
BY ESTELLE BOND

Boston, Jan. 23-(UP)-To the horror of family of mice who had set up housekeeping behind the wainscoting of horticultural hall, some 200 cats moved in today for the 40th annual Boston cat show.
 There were fat cats and thin cats, brown cats and black cats and cats of not much of any colol at all. There were PersianS and ManXes and Siamese and ju' plain old tab bies including a reddish color male named Boyer Bury Figaro who came from Minnesota and looked like an excellent mouser.
 Several rarhc' grim appearing women in Queen Mary hats busily brushed some of the cats, meanwhile eyeing the blue ribbons that fes- tooned the judges bench with sort of I'll get one or know the reason why" looE.
 It app ~ l that the members Of the meovSAg medley had defied the rigors of wartime transportation to come here virtually from the four corners of the earth to vie for prizes in the two-day event.
 A bit harried by the duties at tendant upon getting the show un- derWay, Mrs. Marguerite Saxby- Mabie of Sharon, president of the club, took a brief respite to discuss cat" in general and champions in particular.

Reiuvenate Old Gloves
By EPSIE KINARD NEA Stan Writer

New York There's new life for those old gloves which, because they're outmoded, seams are split or they are soiled. lie languishing in disuSe in bureau drawers. If any of the unused are suede, doeskin antelope or other leather which is hard or expensive to come by in new gloves, there is all the more reason to employ the following rejuvenat- ing tricks rounded up from the ex- perts.
 Re-styling2 Almost an outmoded gauntlet, arm-climbing or elaborate ly becuffed glove can be chopped down to make a simple shortie-the wrlst-b bone length which is one of 1945s best style leaders.
 Repairing2 Use the Topped of top, suggests Mary Brooks Pickens, author of "Mending Made Easy" to make circles, diamonds or other decorative patches for holes. Such repairs can be made attractive by applying with a simple button-hole stitch.
 Split seams? Mrs. Picken's easy solution to that one IS to match the original thread with which the hand sewn glove is stitched. Then, slip ping a finger inside to use as a alarming egg, initiate the original stitch overcast, blanket, saddle or backstitch. Secure new thread to the old before you stitch, and push your needle through the original holes.
 To re-stitch machine-made seams, thread top and bobbin of machine. but before you sew test length of stitch (which you want to match as nearly as possible to the glove's) on scrap.
 Simple reviving tricks which will bring old gloves into new favor are uncurling and cleaning. To uncurl, one expert tel1s you to first fiatten out with your hands. Then blow out the fingers and keep the gloves under heavy pressure - use either books or blocks of wood - until the wrinkles disappear.
 You can usually clean nonwash- able leather gloves by brushing briskly with a nail brush and by giving the Soiled spots a good going over with dry-cleaning fluid. Hand-sewen washable gloves should

As shown center, this Adele Simpson designed dress has a set-in black satin belt to define the waist in between a croSSed-surplice bodice and the hip fold of a spiral ling-drape skirt.
 The midriff comes in for a lot of to o-do in spring dress styles, but the whole purpose of exposing 1t, sheathing it in cummerbund bands or bandaging 1t tight in contrasting wrapings is to give the silhouette above and below it fuller flow. You'll see the midriff spotlighted in play clothes that expose it; in fancy togs for evening that swathe it with flamboyant Wrap-arounds which posed against dark dresses shout their claim to the spotlight. Sometimes the print pattern is further lime-lighted by sequin em- broidery, as is the Jo Copeland-de- signed dinner dress at the left, of navy blue crepe The midriff wind ing sash is navy and white print

always require special care, but done systematically they need not be the burden that some inexperi- enced mothers make of them.
 When a wet diaper is removed 1t should be put in a pail of cold water immediately. A soiled diaper should be rinnsed off In cold water and then put in separate pail of cold water. Every morning the dia- pers should be rinsed out of the cold water, washed Ill hot suds made with soap flakes or mild white soap, and boiled for ten minutes. After they are boiled they should be rinSed four or five times, changing the water each time. If all traces of soap are not rinsed out there is danger that the baby's skin may be irritated by it. The diapers should be dried i'll the sun and open air if possible.
 KEEP OUT OF SIGHT
 If the diapers are folded for use as they are taken from the line, or as they are ironed, it will save time when the baby is changed.
 Never hang diapers or other wet clothing in the baby's room to dry. And If you value the harmony of your home don't drape diapers and baby clothes over the radiators and furniture in the living room. Have a clothesline in the basement or some unused room, if possible, for drying baby clothes.
 If you are living in @ trailer or one-room apartment and have nc alternative but to dry clothes in the living room, try to have them dry and out of the way before the fam fly returns at night. A diaper draped house is hot very restful.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Color Clash Between Red- Trimmed Clothes, !, Lipstick Defeats Chic

Somewhere in your costume have red-it's spirt-lifting-and echo its vibrant color note in the lipstick shade that you use.
 Backed up by glamorites, that idea stamps lot of alfred or crim- son. trimmed clothes this spring as style leaders. Ingenue actress Ger aldine Stroock, for instance, picked her new beige wool suit for the con- getti dots of bright red wool which embroider it and which could be duplicated on her mouth in a lip stick shade, called beau bait" 'The .ashier the red" says Geraldine, "the brighter your skin tones surround ing the lipstick look"
 But a word of warning. Be sure the reds match. A red with an or- ange undertone worn with another which has a tingue of purple will start color fight that will defeat the effect.

New York.-Like tive pianists swinging Chopin or Brahms. dress designers play their variations on the wartime's classically simple sil- hcuette with bustles, swag drapes, tango tunics, midriff wrappings. These and plenty of other creative devices make the silhouette mutable and prove that designers are any thing but stymied by L-85 restric- tionS.
 BustleS, which didn't flip more pert appeal in the lavish sos, rout the straight-skirted look all down the line from beach togs to dance frocks, and make as saucy an exit on afternoon dresses.
 SWag drapeS-curtain- like folds that fall from the waist and tack under the hem of skirt and tango tunics - three little stair step tiers that make one skirt - are as strongly backed by New York designers sbustles. So are cross surplice bodice drapery and wrap around skirts. This treatment ap- pears in many sofetned up 1945 dresses. It makes news in one con- versation print, which when shown in one recent collection stopped all
