DO YOU KNOW? ....
If you've got "war nerves" you
might get relief by cleaning out the
attic or cellar and get rid of those old
magazines and papers. They are a
fire hazard as are cleaning fluids, half
empty paint cans and other chemicals.
They should be stored outside if kept.
Bundle your papers and old rags and
call a relief organization to take them.
They are worth real money now and
will be reprocessed into war needs.
It's not too soon to lay in a supply
of oil lamps, candles and heavy black
cloth to cover windows for the black
outs that are to come.
Glamor
A beauty consultant on fingernails
tells us that polish correctly applied
and coated with sealer prevents nail
breakage, splitting and other uncom
fortable accidents to nails. She adds
the following points on nail care: ap
ply one coat of an adherent, two coats
of polish and a sealing fluid two or
three times a week for the home mani
cure. Don't file nail corners and don't
file nails to a point use a nail cream
on cuticle and leave a narrow margin
at the base of nail when applying
polish so the cream can penetrate. Be
sure to use a non-acid remover to
prevent excessive dryness.
Distinguished by unusual draping
and inspired by the beauty and ro
mance of South America are the re
sort clothes being shown now for
southern wear. Some skirts have
gaucho drapes and sleeveless caballero
jackets and are worn in contrasting
color to the bodices cut like peon
shawls.
Colors are rich and smoldering and
one hears such names as Aztec yellow,
surf green, jungle flame and Andes
white, an off-shade of white suggested
by snow on the mountains. Many
dresses in wool, crepe or pique are
shown in this Andes white, embroi
dered with brilliant jungle colors.
For the tailored suit of the type
worn by the women of the Argentine
such colors as smoke glass gray and
pampas grass were favorites.
Play and leisure clothes give prom
inence to the tunic.
New idea introduced in beauty par
lors to keep all hands busy while sit
ting under dryers is to knit for soldiers.
Partly-made sweaters and socks and
plenty of yarn is kept on hand and
each patron can add several rows while
drying! If you don't know how to knit
there will be someone there to teach
you. Hours of otherwise wasted time
can be put to good purpose in this
fashion and the idea should spread
rapidly to many other establishments.

as much time discussing clothes as
they do talking about men. This should
burn up the men! Of course men came
second in discussion with just plain
gossip third, including discussions of
club, school and church activities.
Following those, women next dis
cussed beauty aids, with conversations
about operations and travel tieing for
fifth place. Politics were next in order,
while the remaining 18 per cent of the
conversations ran from philosophy and
physiology to books and bow legs.
Women in Industry
And today, how the nation does need
the services of its women!
Everywhere women have gone into
action, doing important jobs.
Some of the jobs are inconspicuous
perhaps like that of a young girl
friend who left for the Hawaiian
Islands in a War Department job.
When she left the mainland it was
with expectations of a happy time in
tropical islands. But then came the
blasting bombs. Her risk now is as
great as that of the soldiers.
Then there are women by the hun
dreds doing Red Cross work, giving
free as much as half of their time.
Their work is really hard work, much
of it unpleasant—but they'll stick.
Women are taking over the office
work of civil defense offices every
where, working just as hard—prob
ably harder—than many who have
paying jobs in private industry.
Women soon will be called into fac
tories, for regular work, much of it
the same work men do.
Women in industry! I should say
so. Also, women in war!
Pantry Palaver
Chef's Hints: A delicious and easy
dessert may be made with a cup of
canned mincemeat, one package of pre
pared gingerbread mixture and 1 cup
of whipping cream. Simply oil a ring
mold and place mincemeat in the bot
tom. Pour the cake or gingerbread
mixture, after preparing according to
dii-ections on box, over the mincemeat
and bake about 45 minutes in a mod
erate oven. Cool five minutes and
turn out on chop plate, filling the cen
ter of the ring with whipped cream.
Serve warm. About 8 to 10 servings.
If you haven't been having luck with
your candy-making, or if you don't
know how to go about it, there is a
new book, "Our Candy Recipes" by
May B. Arsdale and Ruth Parrish
Casa Emellos, which can set you on
the right track at once. It is published
by M. Barrows & Company, sells for
$2.00 and is just the answer for the
person who wants to make candy and
doesn't know how. And the boys in
camp just love to get candy.
Cookies, made at home and put into
those attractive cookie jars, make ap
preciated gifts to soldiei-s, friends,
shut-ins and the children away at
school.
Heavenly banana bran muffins may
be made by sifting together 1 cup
flour, teaspoon soda, Vz teaspoon
salt and
xk
cup sugar and 1 cup of
bran. Beat 1 egg, 2 teaspoons sour
milk, 2 teaspoons melted shortening
and add to flour mixture. Add two
cups thinly sliced bananas. Turn into
well-greased muffin tins and bake 35
minutes in moderate oven.
If the children won't eat oatmeal,
give it to them this way: make it as
a cereal, as usual, adding a quarter
cup of brown sugar, teaspoon va
nilla or maple flavoring and pack into
a square mold. When cold, slice, roll
in dry oats and brown in fat. Serve
with syrup, maple rings, bacon or
sausages.

SOCIALIST GROUP
PLEDGES SUPPORT
New York City (ILNS).—Pledging
"active and untiring co-operation" in
the nation's war effort, the Social
Democratic Federation, at a member
ship meeting here, declared that "no
needful sacrifice is too great, no useful
service is too humble or too hard
when freedom is at stake," and called
upon all democratic Socialists to give
unstinted support to the government
in the prosecution of the war.
"America's hands are clean," the
meeting declared. "If our government
and our people have a fault to regret,
it is that they were too patient, too
much in love with peace, too slow to
draw the sword. The amazing infamy
of the Japanese attack has united the
American people more solidly than
they have been united in any previous
war."
Speakers included Algernon Lee,
city chairman of the Social Demo
cratic Federation Councilman-elect
Louis P. Goldberg, and August Claes
sens.
The Social Democratic Federation
is composed of Socialists who left the
Socialist party some years ago be
cause of opposition to the policies and
tactics of Norman Thomas and other
leaders of the party.

NOW COVERED BY
WAGE-HOUR LAWS
Washington, D. C. (ILNS). —The
contention of the Wage and Hour Di
vision, U. S. Department of Labor,
that elevator operators, watchmen,
firemen and other employes of a build
ing housing firms producing goods for
commerce are covered by the Fair
Labor Standards Act has been upheld
by a U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
opinion.
The opinion, rendered by the Circuit
Court for the Third Circuit, at Phila
delphia, confirms the decision of Judge
William H. Kirkpatrick, in U. S. Dis
trict Court at Philadelphia, which en
joined the A. B. Kirschbaum Company,
of that city, from further violating the
wage and hour provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
Objections Overruled
The opinion extends the benefits of
the 30-cents-per-hour and time and
one-half for overtime beyond 40 hours
per week provisions of the wage-hour
law to three elevator operators, two
watchmen, three firemen, an engineer,
a carpenter, a carpenter's helper, and
a porter. All are employed by the
Kirschbaum Company in a Philadel
phia building rented by tenants who
are engaged in the production of goods
for commerce.
In announcing the opinion, Baird
Snyder, acting administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, pointed out
that the Circuit Court overruled ob
jections of the defendant that the em
ployer was not himself engaged in
commerce or in the production of
goods for commerce.
"We conclude," the opinion stated
on this point, "that it was the inten
tion of Congress to make the act ap
plicable to all those who are employed
in commerce or in the production of
goods in commerce without regard to
the nature of their employer's business
and that this intention was given apt
expression in Sections 6 (the mini
mum wage provisions) and 7 (over
time provisions) of the act."
Employes' Services Vital
The court's recognition that the em
ployes involved are engaged in proc
esses or occupations necessary to the
production of goods for commerce is
shown, by its finding:
"Thus for the purposes of the act
an employe is to be deemed engaged
in the production of goods for com
merce not only when he has direct
physical contact with the goods, but
also when he is employed in 'any proc
ess or occupation necessary to the pro
duction thereof.' .... In each in
stance the work is so essential to the
production of the tenants' goods that
if the defendant were not to provide
the services the tenants themselves
would have had to provide them. The
vital necessity to production of the
services of elevator operators, engi
neers, and firemen is vividly demon
strated by evidence presented by the
plaintiff as to the effects of a strike
of building maintenance workers in
New York City in 1939."
With special reference to elevator
operators, the opinion held such em
ployes to be "also directly engaged in
commerce, for although their activ
ities take place entirely within the
state they carry out one step in the
actual transportation of the goods to
points outside the state."

Union Square Still Free
New York City (ILNS).—After pro
test by the New York City Civil Lib
erties Union and Dai'win J. Meserole,
New York attorney, New York Com
missioner of Parks Robert Moses has
indicated in a letter to Meserole that
there will be no restrictions upon in
formal meetings in Union Square
Park. This sets at rest previous re
ports that the historic center for argu
ment on contemporary questions was
to be closed to group discussion.
There will be no restrictions, Moses
said, provided groups "do not block
the paths, and that they are at all
times orderly."
How about those fellows who regu
larly get the works, including a shave,
manicure and shoe shine, in the bar
ber's chair? What's their income, and
do their wives spend as much in beauty
parlors.
1.1- rr
INDUSTRY-LABOR
SET UP PROGRAM
FOR WAR OUTPUT
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—After
several days of discussion, the indus
try-labor conference called by Presi
dent Roosevelt agreed on a three
point program designed to insure un
interrupted production during the
war.
The conference, composed of 12 in
dustrialists and 12 labor leaders, was
unable to agree on demand of the in
dustrial leaders that the union shop
should not be an issue of arbitration.
After William H. Davis, moderator of
the conference, and Senator Elbert
Thomas of Utah had reported to the
President that it was deadlocked on
the union shop issue, the President
sent a letter to the conference which
said in part:
"Moderator Davis and Senator
Thomas have reported to me the re
sults of your deliberations. They have
given me each proposition which you
have discussed. I am happy to accept
your general points of agreement as
follows:
"1. There shall be ito strikes or
lockouts.
"2. All disputes shall be settled by
peaceful means.
"3. The President shall set up a
proper War Labor Board to
handle these disputes.
"I accept without reservation your
covenants that there shall be no strikes
or lockouts and all disputes shall be
settled by peaceful means. I shall pro
ceed at once to act on your third point.
"Government must act in general.
The three points agreed upon cover of
necessity all disputes that may arise
between labor and management.
"The particular disputes must be
left to the consideration of those who
can study the particular differences
and who are thereby prepared by
knowledge to pass judgment in the
particular case. I have full faith that
no gi-oup in our national life will take
undue advantage while we are faced
by common enemies."
At a press conference following ad
journment of the industry-labor con
ference, Moderator Davis was asked
why the management group had ac
cepted the three-point formula when
it previously had insisted upon inclu
sion of a fourth point banning deter
mination of the union shop question.
Senator Thomas replied that "the
management group previously had
said that if any proposition was put
up to the President, it would abide by
his decision."
Davis explained tha't the labor pol
icy enunciated by the President fol
lowed the outline presented by Sen
ator Thomas, who Davis said had sum
marized the four days of debate by
management and labor representatives
by selecting the points on which they
were in general accord.
When the agreement was announced,
William Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, said in a
speech for the newsreel cameramen
that labor, which had obligated itself
to maintain uninterrupted production
and to engage in no strikes and no
work stoppages for any cause, was
"happy over the ending to a most sig
nificant conference."
New York Printers

New York City (ILNS). A new
wage agreement covering 5,000 mem
bers of Typographical Union 6, affect

with the New York Employing Print
ers' Association.
The agreement provides for in
creases of $3.50 a week, setting the
minimum scale at $58.50 a week as
comparred with $54.50 under the old
agreement.
Announcing signing of the agree
ment, William Ward, president of the
union, said also that No. 6 had pur
chased $50,000 worth of defense bonds.
