Women Buy
EXP Clothes
As Last Resort
BY RUTH MILLETT

At last the government is doing
something about Cne clothing situa-
tion besides jumping on women for
spending the record breaking
amount of money on wearing ap-
parel.
Up until now there has been moth
ing done other than publishing
figures showing that Mrs. America
has spent a shocking amount on
clothes for herself and her family
OF course, a part of that shock
ing amount" has been spent on
lSxliry goods on $40 handbags and
$125 simple little suits" Though,
even here, why Mrs. America should
take full blame for buying such items
when they are offered for sale is a
little hard to understand.
But the fundamental reason why
Mrs. America has spent SO much
money on clothing for herself and
family is now being recognized with
a practical pan o. action.
Mrs. America has paid more for
her clothes and her children'S CLOTH
e., simply because there has been a
scarcity of low-priced clothing in
the stores. And not only that, when
she could find low-priced clothing,
it was usually SO poorly 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 chance to prove that much
of her "extravagant spending" hasn't
been willful waste but of necessity
After all, if there are no inexpens-
i've clothes to be had, and nc
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 avail
able.

SOLDIER BILLETED WITH
PEN PAL IN BELGIUM

LONDON, Feb. 10. UP)-When
Lance Corporal Leo Miller of Plym-
outh, England, was a schoolboy, his
"pen pal" correspondence with a
French schoolgirl convinced him
that it is a small world.
When he met the same girl in
Belgium recently, he realized that
the war has made it an even small
er world.
Miller was billeted with French
family in Belgium and was going
through the usual ordeal of in
specting the family album when he
found a snapshot of himself. On
the reverse side was his signature.
The daughter in the family turned
out to be mis- ''pen pal' of so many
years ago, who had moved to Bel
gium from Toulouse.

note, she says shouting, not screech-

If you have to train more quietly
she says to take few words-then
sentences-at time, and work daily
to control pitch until your voice
gets deeper and richer.
while you're working on sound,
practice loosening up lips, with a

for pin-up portraits, where the beautiful girls who shared foxholes and went to sea in fighting ships can be immortaliZed?
 Or should we have an artist pre- serve the pin-up portrait and the part it played in World War II for generations to come in one beau- tiful, seductive painting called sim ply "Pine-Up Girl of the Forties?"
 The part that women have played in past wars has real place in his tory. So what about the pin-up girl of World War II? She deserves a better fate than to be discarded and forgotten when the men come marching home.
 PLEASE HELP
 If she has done so much for the morale of fighting men-as we've Eeen told-the pin-up girl deserves her place i'll history. But if she isn't to be relegated to the furnace and the waste basket the public will have to preserve her for future students of the second World War.
 Because no matter how many pin up portraits the men sentimentally bring home with them, there isn't going to be any place for them in their own homes, not even piled away in an old trunk.
 The little woman will see to that. And unless something is done to preserve the pin-up girl she will become the first casualty of the peacetime world.

STRAND

The fact that the Nazis have placed a price on his head does not in the least deter John Wengraf from portraying such despicable characters as Gestapo agents on the screen.
 His current role as one of the Nazi official in Colunbia's "U-Boat Pris- orer," now playing at the Strand theater, is no exception.
 Wengraf'S unpopularity with the Third Reich stems from a series of radio programs he presented for the British Broadcasting Company in 1889.
 Since Wengraf had been a we'll known actor in Europe for many years. his voice was recognized by the Nazis, with the result that he hac a standing invitation to back up against the handiest wall with firing squad as his escort of honor
 This dubious distinction does not trouble Wengraf in the slightest, as he hsa another and more pleasant thought to contemplate, that of be- coming an American citizen within a short time.
 The companion feature is One Mysterious Night, starring Chester Morris as Boston Blackie."
