DO YOU KNOW?
Why the Defense Council has asked
you to save waste paper, old "rags,
scrap metal (including old razor
blades, tin tubes—tooth paste, cold
and shaving cream tubes) and old
rubber
Scrap metal makes the steel, brass,
copper, lead and other metals for the
guns, planes, tanks and ships needed
for victory.
Waste paper makes new paperboard
to ship munitions, clothing and food
for America's fighting men at home
and overseas.
Old rubber makes new rubber for
our motorized forces—for planes,
tanks and battleships and for essen
tial civilian needs.
Old rags make needed materials for
emergency buildings, wiping rags for
war industries and reworked textiles.

Because of conservation of mate
rials ordered by OPM, eventually
men's suits will have flapless pockets,
cuffless trousers, single-breasted coats,
and vestless suits. Nearly two-thirds
of the nation's wool in 1942 will be
used to provide uniforms, blankets
and other needs for five million
soldiers.
Plans are also in the making for
skimping on women's clothes. Designs
will be fewer and more standardized.

A man who has made a profession
of teaching people to talk over the
telephone says the commonest faults
are long-windedness, and slovenly
speech. His advice is: be concise, quick
to the point make your voice res

heed, girls!

If you can embroider at all, sit down
and work your monogram or one single
initial on your best shirtmaker frocks.
Make them huge and scrolly. Gives
them that individual look. Many of
the girls are embroidering the Victory
symbol V... on their pockets or
sleeves.
One manufacturer has put on the
market a lovely rayon dress crepe in
soft pastels printed with the "V ..
theme in contrasting colors. Very new
and timely.
The most remaikable discovery of
modern dermatology which removes,
without pain, unwanted hair from
face, limbs or body is now being dem
onstrated in some of our foremost
beauty salons. Because the root is re
moved with the hair, relief may be
had for several months and re-growths
are noticeably weaker and thinner
with each application. It has the ap
proval of the medical profession and
the strictest chemical laboratories. A
single application renders skin ala
baster smooth for weeks.
Do you clean your jewelry regularly
to make it glisten and sparkle? You
can buy jewelers' cleaning kits or
make your own. Lay pieces to be
cleaned in ammonia for a few minutes.
Rinse in clear water and dry by roll
ing in fine sawdust.

The Department of Agriculture's
Bureau of Home Economics got its
mind and attention off pigs and cows
and clover seed long enough to make
an inspection of American women and
comes out with the sad and disturbing
allegation that the average is in pretty
bad shape, and does not conform with
the presumed ideal. So maybe this is
why the priorities division became
lenient and made certain allotments
of rubber and steel for moulding de
vices that try to keep the all too-too
solid flesh from getting beyond control.
Women in Industry
Since the middle of January the
New York State Labor Board has re
faxed its ruling which prevents women
from working in factories after 10
p. m. and before 6 a. m., so that now
the girls replacing men in industry
can work into shifts running around
the clock.
Pan American Airways have re
cently hired girls to replace men in
the repair and maintenance depart
ment in the hangars at LaGuardia
Field, so the men could be released
for war duty. The girls do repair and
overhaul on such details as life-saving
equipment. They look after the up
holstery and panelling on the sea
planes meaning everything from
making and counter-sinking carpets
to patching plastics.
They do dope and fabric work on
the wings and control surfaces. They
even look after miscellaneous repairs,
such as helping men overhaul engines
They are classed as mechanics' help
ers and get the same pay as the men
they have replaced—55 cents an hour.
A great many of the girls are at
tending company classes during off
hours to improve themselves in their
job and learn the job ahead—which is
to be regular licensed grease monkeys
The reports are that the girls prove
to be as good as or better than un
trained male apprentice mechanics
It's tough on nail polish and coarsens
hands, but most of the girls enjoy it

For Better Homemaking
During these days of conserving and
saving everything there is a move on
in some communities to save all fats
and grease and sell it back to the
butcher who will in turn send it to be
reprocessed for war materials. But if
no such move is on in your community
why not make soap for your own use
at home. Here is a cold water soap
which needs no cooking: 1 can con
centrated lye, 5 lbs. fat, 1 qt. water,
Mi cup gasoline, Vfc cup household am
monia, 2 tablespoons borax.
Heat water, dissolve lye in it, add
fat, gasoline, ammonia and boi'ax.
Place in agate vessel and stir with
wooden paddle until thoroughly mixed.
Set aside to get completely cold cut
in bars ready to use.

Pantry Palaver
Chef's Hints: A half cup of spicy
mincemeat added to a standard muffin
batter produces wonderful results.
Did you ever substitute fruit juice
for the liquid called for in muffin? It
makes them delightfully different.
If Johnny won't eat his carrots, boil
carrots and potatoes together in equal
amounts using as little water as pos
sible. When cooked, mash together,
using the water in which they boiled
added to a little milk, seasoning and
butter.
Pour applesauce mixed with brown
sugar and cinnamon and cloves over
a pork roast when nearly done. It's
wonderful.
How long since you've made a plain
one-egg cake in two layers, splitting
the layers and placing between a va
nilla cream filling made by using pre
pared packaged pudding? Use either
whipped cream or powdered sugar for
top and sides.
A nationally-known advertiser gives
us this one and it's good: Mix IV2 cups
peas, corn, 1 cup canned tomatoes
drained, 1 tablespoon onion, IV2 cups
soft bread crumbs, 3 beaten eggs,

of water 45 minutes in a medium oven.
Melt Vz package soft cheese in double
boiler, adding Vs cup milk. Stir and
pour over the unmolded vegetable and

for the family.
Have you ever cooked a head of cab
!age whole? Place root end down in
cooking utensil in one inch of water.
Season with sugar and salt, cover
tightly and cook until tender. Good
with cream or cheese sauce.
Don't be conservative! Whip up
some new food combinations: Mix a
can of corn into creamed dried beef
and serve over hot biscuits.
Lima beans and mushrooms in but

of creamed mushrooms to which a can

Then you might try mixing cooked
