food Planners
Want Workers
Factory-Fed
By ANN STEVICK
WASHINGTON Aug. 30.-Among
. stepS that may be taken to
ll'our production army well-fed
the food situation gets more
^plicated is to increase in-plant
feeding of war workers.
• About 20 per cent of our work
out are reached by the in
'[L'feeding program and the
Department of Agriculture hopes
P0‘’double that in the _ next six
onths through a campaign beam
i at employers.
Food supplies distribution, and
old Black Market, come un
T,; more efficient control with
[Prge-unit feeding. It benefits not
the worker but the congested
Srnunity in which he lives.
S rationing
The slight increase in coal pro
dS which solid Fuels Ad
Sisfrator Harold L. Ickes just
Announced is hardly enough to
L the question of coal-ration
t down out of the air, where it
left some weeks ago in the
snpech bv Chester Bowies, general
P!' cer' of the Office of Price
Administration. Whether the
k.reat of coal-rationing will re
“ in just that, no one can say,
but discussions are under way.
SWEATER-GIRL reprieve
The Office of Civilian Require
e,lt; which naturally has civilian
welfare close to its heart, is cha
grined at the general interpreta
tion of the recent sweater order.
It does not mean, they say, that
the sweater girl must go. It mere
ly eliminates fancily trimmed
x.veaters. always a rare novelty,
and confines production to th e
classic sweaters always favored
by sweater girls.
ODDS AND ENDS
The Home Front pledge will
soon be after you. You will be
iasked to avoid the Black Market
line the plague it is. and to re
frain from apparently harmless
acts such as using loose' jation
stamps, and b e i ng haphazard
about ceiling prices . . Restric
tions on tannic acid have been
lifted because medical opinion is
increasingly against it for treat
ment of burns. It is apt to leave
scars, and was found otherwise
impractical in treating bad war
time burns. Simple old petrola
tum. or vaseline, is now consid
ered superior.

Miss Milleii Has Her Say
About Wartime Transients
By RUTH MILLETT
“I felt so sorry for the young
soldier,” a housewife with an
apartment to rent said.
‘‘He wanted my apartment so
ihat he could bring his wife on
lere. He says
ihe is living all
tlone in a room
n another city,
md she is ,ex
acting a baby
n a few months.”
But the land
ady who “felt
;o sorry” turned
he young soldier
way. She decid
?d it would be
ess trouble to
■ent the apart
nent to a couple
if men. They
Huth .viniett
vould be away from home all
lay, and wouldn't be ‘‘any trou
>le.”
There are lots of people who
ee: just about tnat sorry for the
tuples whom the war has sep
arated. They feel sorry enough to
talk about how touched they are—
but not sorry enough to inconven
ence themselves in the slightest
o help young folks out.
They aren’t all landlords, eith
■r. They are the travelers who
vill let a young wife with a baby
tand or sit in an aisle instead of
Jiving her a comfortable seat.
?hey ease their consciences by
aying, "Women haven't any right
o travel with Dabies in times like
hese.” They wouldn’t be traveling
n normal times. They wouldn’t
lave to be traveling clear across
he country in order to be with
heir men, if there weren’t a war
joing on.
And there are the people in
owns “over-run" by the Army or
favy who take a superior attitude
oward the families of service
nen. The people who look on
trmy or Navy people as tran
ients—not worth bothering about.
There are many people who feel
orry for those who are being hard
lit by the war. But so many of
hem are satisfied to do nothing
iut feel noble because they feel
orry.

Beauties’ Hints
Sleep Exercises
Chase Fatigue
And Exhaustion
ILKA CHASE: Relaxes.
By AUCIA HART
“Never go to bed completely
exhausted,” cautions stage, screen
and radio actress Ilka Chase, “for
none of us can afford that over
tiredness which chases sleep.”
Whenever you find that your
weariness has brought on insom
nia, try these exhaustion-chasing
sleep exercises, which Ilka says
puts her in a mood for slumber.
Kneel on the bed. with body up
right and arms stretched ceiling
ward. Let your head drop back
ward and stretch, stretch, stretch.
Then, bend forward, plunk your
hands down on the bed, drop your
head between them and your trunk
folded back on your heels—now
RELAX.
Do these two exercises five
times, which should be enough to
relieve knotted nerves and an
aching back—too much of a good
thing might keep you awake foe
the rest of the night.
And, within a few minutes after
slipping between the covers and
turning off the light, Ilka is will
ing to bet you’ll be in dreamland.
