Women Are Necessarily
Extravagant These DAYS
By RUTH MILLETT

At last the government is doing
something about the clothing situ-
alton besides jumping on women
for spending a record-breaking
amount of money on wearing ap-
parel.
Up until now there has been no.
thing much done other than pub
fishing figures showing that Mrs.
America has spent shocking
amount on clothes for herself and
her family.
OF course, part of that "shock-
ing amount has been spent on
luxury goods-on $40 handbags
and $125 simple little suits"
Though, even here, why Mrs. Am
erica should take full blame for
buying such items when they are
offered for sale is a little hard
to understand.
But the fundamental reason WIZ
Mrs. America has spent so much
money on clothing for herself and
family is now being recognized
with a practical plan of action.
Mrs. America has paid more for
her clothes and her children S
clothes, simply because there has
been scarcity of loW-priced
clothing in the stores. And not only
that, when she could find loW-pric-
ed clothing, it was usually so poor
ly made that it was no bargain.
WPB RULING WILL HELP
But now WPB has specified a
wide range of inexpensive essen
tial cotton garments for increased
production and is about to do the
same thing with wool and rayon
When these garments reach the
retail market, Mrs. America will
have a chance to prove that much
of her "extravagant spending"
hasn't been willful waste but O.
necessity.
After all, if there are no mex
pensive clothes t. be had, and no
material from which to make
them, the housewife buys more
expensive clothing if she has
the money.
1t is much fairer to offer women
inexpensive clothes than to jump
on them for buying expensive
ones, when they are the only ones
available.

Nays Best Planes Sent
Against Targets At Tokyo

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-W.D-
Carriers of Vice Admiral Marc A.
Mitscher's Tokyo busting task
force send aloft the four top planes
of the American Navy-with an ag.
gregate bomb load of 5000 pounds.
Two are fast, maneuverable
fighters - the Grammar Hellcat
and the Vought Sikorsky Corsair.
The bombers, big and fast, are
the Curtiss Helldiver and the
Grammar Avenger.
Developed and refined in years
of meeting and besting the Japs,
the four are considered the best
of any carrier-based craft in the
world and a match for most land
based planes.
The Hellcat and Corsair were
primarily intended to knock Jap
planes out of the skies but they
also can carry 1000 pounds OF
bombs. Both are heavily armed
with rockets and machine guns.
The Helldiver and Avenger each
carry 1000 pounds of bombs, plus
rockets and ammunition for their
heavy machine guns. The Helldiv-
er has replaced the Douglas Daunt
less as the Nays best dive and
glide bomber. The Avenger was
originally designed as a torpedo
bomber but more frequently car.

presenting fewer floating targets.

Converse AbOlishes
Spring Vacation

sPARTANEURG, S. c., Feb. 16
- The Converse college student
body unanimously voted to endorse
the faculty recommendation that
spring vacation be dispensed with
this year. This was done after
President E. M. Gwathmey had
presented the urgent need for re-
stricted travel in support of the
war effort, and to comply with the
recent request of the Office of De-
tense Transportation that student
travel be limited to a minimum
and that all colleges omit spring
holidays.
Miss Grace Williams, senior
class president and head of the
Converse Presidents Board, rec.
commended that Easter be closed
weekend, and that no students
take trips at that time; that Good
Friday be given as a holiday for
religious observance, and that for
the rest of the college year stu
dents restrict themselves to two
week-ends away from the campus.
It was further recommended that
no more than so students who must
travel by rail or bus be allowed to
leave on any one weekend. This
plan was approved by the entire
student body.
Because of the voluntary sacri-
flee of spring holidays, Converse
will close on May 81, one week
earlier than the catalogue sched-
ule.
