Return Of Spike Heels And Two-Way
Stretch Are Predictions For 1945
BY EFMB KINARD
NBA Staff Writer
Nn York. — Top end toe as
pects of the fashion future are going
to be literally rosy with a rash of
ptnk hats predicted and red shoes
promised — one of serveral colors
primed to step out from under war
time color restrictions. But what
may loom brighter on the IMS hori
aon for many women will be the re
turn of thrce-lnch heels, one Inch
platform soles on shoes, two-way
stretch girdles, lastex swim suits
and a new “miracle" rayon which
gives a pre-taste of post-war wond
ers.
This “wunderklnd” fabric—finer
than the finest silk shirting —
which backs up a Yankee Doodle
boast that we can concoct a better
silk Job than the worm, Is a one
• denier spun rayon yarn made up
into fabric for yar uses. Govern
ment surpluses turned into wo
men’s surpluses turned Into wo
men's and children’s ready-to-wear
fashions met every test before they
were launched with flying colors—
both plain and printed. In dry
cleanable and washable finishes,
the tubbable fabric washes like a
handkerchief, takes the hottest Iron,
sheds wear-wringles and Is really
something to shout about.
Pre-war, two-day stretch girdles
are expected to trickle Into stores
and because of steadily Increasing
quantities of synthetic rubber for
elastic yarn and lastex swim suit
, Is hoped around May to become a
part of regular lines. Shifts of war
may knock both expectations, how
ever, Into a cocked hat.
Expected on shoe counters are
platform - soled builder - uppers,
new patterns, more colors and three
inch heels, If manufacturers can
prove that no additional labor or
material Is needed to Indulge you
In your little footwear whimsies.
Because leather Is limited ar.d fabric
1_...nA an/isaccfullir hofnrP
u ft color medium, expect to see
more bright gabardines, linens,
cotton*, woolens, etc., than calfskin,
auedc and reptiles.
Hats? It's no military secret
• thath they will dip Into every shade
of pink from spun sugar palloi
to pure raspberry soda In styles
wheih will stick to two general
type* oh-so-femtnine and the hab
erdaaber. In size there will be a
general dwarftlng down from last
year’s superstructure, which as fai
as Mrs. Average American was con
cerned was no-go.
From the crystal gazers, here's
the rest of the round-up. Furs
will go dark again, lengths; will
continue to he perkily short, anc
newest styles will be the wrap
around-and-clutch. Jewelry wll
be small-scaled, more precious
looking, and lucky stones will be
favored. There will be fewei
■heer hose — the 50 denier yarr
needed to make cobwebby sheaths
Is seeded worse to make tires
bomb chutes, parachute cords—so
we’ll have to get used to and likt
the 75 and 100 denier stockings
whMt are what stores call “servlet
sheers”. For handbags, expect tc
see almost more of dvery materia
than leather In sizes that will how

Environment Affects
Outlok of Patient
BY LONA L. TROTT
Assistant Director,
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service
It Is not essential lor every
housekeeper to be a good home
nurse, but It is
that every home
housekeeper.
It Is a well
known fact that
the outlook of
a n Individual,
whether sick or
well, is affected
by his environ
ment. An un
tidy, disorderly
room, has a de
pressing effect
on a sick per
son. There is
no escape from
It and nothing Lona L. Trott
he can do about
it. It Is tiresome and discourag
ing to be compelled to lie and look
at confusion and disorder all day.
I recall a patient I took care
of during my public experience.
She lived In an overcrowded lit
tle house, Inadequately furnished
and unattractive. She was not
seriously 111, but mentally and
physically exhausted, and had no
incentive to get well.
AROUSED INTEREST
The family, eager to be oblig
ing, responded well to my sug
gestions for cleaning up the
mother’s room and putting the
house in order. Some discarded
wooden boxes in the alley were
made into an Improvised cup
board. with a curtain made from
an old gingham dress skirt. Tills
provided a place to put things out
of sight and gave the appearance
of orderliness to the bedroom.
Additional hooks were put up to
hang clothes on, and some inex
pensive curtains were provided
lor the windows.
The patient watched these im
provements with pleasure, and de
veloped a new interest in getting
well as we discussed daily the pos
sibilities for improving the
whole house. Her prompt recov
ery was not due to good nursing
care as much as to the encourage
ment that an orderly house gave
her, a new sense of appreciation
that even with her limited faclli
house cheerful and attractive. Her
ties it was passible to make a
struggle against poverty and hard
ship had exhausted her, but rest
and a new outlook on life gave
her the courage to take up the
fight again.
POLI’S
“Thirty Seconds Over Toxyo,”
now playing at the Loew Poll theater
remains without question the most
thrilling story of individual heroism
World War II has produced. But
in addition to its breath-taking air
spectacle, and the raw courage and
bravery in the face of death with
which the Tokyo mission was so dar
ingly planned and executed. It la
also the simple, heart-warming,
true-to-life love story of Major Law
son and his wife, Ellen.
Spencer Tracy gives one of the
most stirring performances of his
career as lieutenant colonel (now
lieutenant general) James H. Doo
little, a relatively small role, big in
power and of major importance to
the picture.
For Van Johnson, who shone so
brightly with Tracy and Irene
Dunne in “A Guy Named Joe” the
part of Lieutenant (now Major)
Lawson Is his finest, well-earned
reward for his excellent work in
such films as “Two Girls and a
Sailor." “The White Clifts of
Dover” and “Madame Curie”.
Ellen is a star-making role for
Miss Thaxter in her first motion
picture appearance. A protege of
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne she
received her big chance in “Claudia"
playing the role for two years in
New York. Chicago and on the road.
Bob Walker was the perfect
choice to play 19 year old Corporal
David Thatcher, engineer and ma
chine gunner of the B-25 bomber,
the Ruptured Duck.
Of course on this thrilling pro
gram there will be the latest news
of the day and selected shorts.

Select And Clean Fish Carefully
Stuff fish, wrap and bake In the new aluminum eooktng folL
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer
With supplies of fish In cold stor
age or.e-third higher than last year,
and fresh fish coming In normally,
American homes can enjoy fine fish
dishes without ration points and
without budget strain, It Is being
shipped all over the country and
any housewife anywhere can get It
any time.
Here are valuable hints for mak
ing fish taste good, gathered from
noted American hotels chefs and
food advisers.
Avoid waste by selecting fresh
fish; gills should be red, scales
adhere closely to the body, eyes
bright and bulging, flesh should be
elastic and firm to touch.
Fresh fish sinks in fresh water;
If it floats do not use it.
Warp fresh fish in waxed, parch
ment paper, or aluminum foil and
keep in tightly covered container in
refrigerator until time to use.
Overcooking toughens fish, Cook
long en ough to flake easily with a
fork.
It is easy to crumb scallops or
other fish. Pust put the bread or
cracker crumbs in a bag. and bits
of fish, which have been dipped in
beaten egg. a few at a time and
shake vigorously.
Frozen fresh fish should be al
lowed to de-frost naturally. If it is
necessary to hurry it up, allow it
to soak in cold water (never use hoi
water) just until defrosted. Over
soaking spoils flavor an dtexture.

cipe for sole.

BacauM there's complaint from
some masculine Quarters that
thicker stockings don't conceal
superfluous hair perhaps a review
of de-fundng methods would be a
help and a reminder.
The cream depilatory treatment
gives an efficient cleanup if you’ll
follow label directions on the prod*
uet and will make adequte time al
lowance for hair removal.
Wax depilatories both hot and
cold require more time patience and
skill but because hair is uprooted
you get a nice long reprieve from
having to tackle regrowth
Safety-razor shaving is the least
bother perhaps but if you use this
method give your skin a friction
treatment afterward to slough off
blade-scuffed skin. A trick used by
leg-lovely Joan Wlnfleld "Hollywood
Canteen ’ starlet—and one to con
sider both as a sop to your vanity
and to the longevity of precious
socks—is to cream legs massage
thoroughly, and remove surplus
cream with a coarse-textured towel.

STRAND
An autobiography so colorful that
it forma a fascinating book destined
eventually for the screen, is being
prepared by Tito Guitar, now star
ring in Republic’s musical picture,
“Brazil”, which close san engage
ment at the Strand theater tomor
row.
His primary purpose in writing it,
he said, is to disclose to his coun
trymen the remarkable opportunity
that is offer dethem when they
come to the United States.
Bom in Ouadalajera, he was ed
ucated for a career in medicine, but
abandoned it for music. He first be
came aware that his voice was good
when he serenaded the pretty girls
of Ouadalajera. An uncle was con
vinced that the boy was extraordin
arily gifted- Accordingly, he sent
Tito to Milan, Italy, to study under
Pasquale Amato.
Returning to Mexico, Tito first
appeared in 1929 in a Spanish ver
sion of “Naughty Marietta.".
He arrived in New York unable
to speak a word of English. Soon he
was singing in the mid-Manhattan
speakeasies. Then he went to the
fashionable Stork club and there
met Nenette Noriega, the girl he
married.
The companion feature Is “My
Buddy" featuring Donald Barry and
Ruth Terry.
