That Soap Controversy
By VioIef Faulkner

Women, by the way, are not the
only ones who clamor for soap. In
these days, you'll probably find a
goodly number of men among your
friends who have set up their own
establishments, cook, and I wouldn't
be at all surprised, II now and then
they washed out a sock or two.
What about them-aren't they en-
titled to get in on the supply as
well2
We're not bold enough to even
dream OF offering any solution to
the problem. Wiser heads than ours
are struggling with it-but the share
and share alike plan seems the
fairest for all.

What's YOUR Hobby?
Bv Betty Miles

with her child inspired a war Ma
donna she is now working on. Some
times her imagination furnishes her
model.
AS well as figures and busts, she
also works on ash trays and at
tractive famingo door stops. She
makes plaques, featuring heads
worked in bas relief. This medium,
incidentally, she mastered by the
trial and error method.
Interested in young people who
are interested in sculpture, Mrs. La
Motto is. on the Board Of Educa-
tional Foundation at Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School. Recently
she put on a show in sculpturing
for students there.
The La Notes are another FAM
lily that is hobby minded. The old
est son is photography fan. When
he's not busy swapping and de-
veloping pictures, he's busy flying.
The other children are ardent horse
men.
| Although sculpturing Is her OH
| cial hobby, Mrs. La Motto seems
to have made a hobby Of the busi-
ness of living-and as far as we
can see, she's succeeding admirably
at it.!

When Mrs. L. Howell La Motto, jr.,
is acting in an "omcial" capacity,
she is looking after her attractive
home in. Potomac, Md, working at
being mother Of four children,
keeping an eagle eye on four hunters
and supervising her farm, complete
with turkeys, chickens, goats and
pigs. In her spare time she Is a
sculptor.
Actually, it would appear from the
above that Mrs. La Motto has about
five minutes left of every week to
devote to her hobby. But this ap-
parently is not the case, as the
pieces she has created-some still on
the ledge around her workshop,
others in her home-testify.
Mrs. La Motto began sculptring
In boarding school days. Training
at the Art Students League in New
York and with Solon Borglum
(brother of Gutzon Borglum, who
worked on Stone Mountain), work
with Joan Hartley in New York and
tl1s Corcoran Gallery OF Art here ii
town, gave her her background in
sculpturtng. One Of her pieces
shared a prize at Corcoran few
years ago.
Some Of Mrs. La Notes work Is
done in ceramics. some she has cast
in bronze and some in plaster of
paris. Her inspiration comes from
various sources. She uses live mod
els-her children and her friends

There seems to be quite con-
troversy going the rounds as to who
should get priority on the meager
supply of soap fakes on the market.
In a New York paper the other day
the consensus favored the housewife
as being first on the list. While
we're in complete sympathy with
the housewife we can't agree whole
heartedly with that theory.
What of the hundreds OF of1ice
workers, Government employees, store
personnel ct cetera who also need
an occasional box Of soap flakes or
a bar Of soap to do bit OF laundry
now and then? They like to keep
clean, too They are not in a posi-
ton to save fats; many live in ROOM
ing houses and eat their meals "out, "
many more do a light housekeeping
job but the small amount Of meat
they are able to purchase doesn't
contribute much to the fat cam
paign. The little they do collect
is used up in seasonings and cook
ing other foods.

HOURS FOR SHOPPING.
from Mrs. II. S., Washington.)
This is further suggestion about
schedule, directed to Mrs. E. p. OF
Arlington, whose Deviled Crabs
sound fine, but I'd like to add this
remark to her housewives daily
schedule.
Housewives those home all day
and not working outside the home)
who shop from four in the afternoon
on are a most inconsiderate clan in
my estimation. What can be said
to plead with them to finish their
shopping before the working people
get of work and ease the chore OF
shopping for them? Must be heav-
emily to have lunch, rest, take bath
and clean up and saunter down to
the food store and shop without the
pressure Of time close at ones heels.
Wish you would pass this sugges-
ton of mine on to the non -out-of-
home -working-housewives who read
