They are light and comfortable, but
not as flexible as leather, nor as stiff
as wooden soles. DuPont already has
a plastic heel on the market which is
said to be scuffless and practically in

heels usually disfigure the look of a

Take your faded or odd stockings
on hand that have been accumulating
as a result of runs and tears and
transform them into wearable pairs
by dipping in a stocking dye bath at
home. A color remover may also be
had for minimizing strong colors,
making them easier to dye.
But save all of the silk and nylon
stockings that are damaged beyond
repair for the use in manufacturing
gunpowder bags. The War Produc

Women
For the first time in history, it is
believed, a woman has received a dip
lomatic rank in the British Govern
ment. She is Miss Oaig McGeachy,
public relations officer for the British
War Ministry of Economic Warfare's
Office in Washington, attached to the
Embassy. She holds the l'ank of sec
retary. She is a Canadian citizen and
was sent to the United States in De
cember, 1940, for this post.
She was formerly a member of the
League of Nations Secretariat.
Are you making your home a Vic
tory Home On the entire home front
of America, women are meeting the
challenge to their resourcefulness. It
is not an easy job it means self-disci
pline of the sternest sort.
When supplies of raw materials are
not big enough to fill war needs plus
civilian needs, then the materials used
in making civilian goods must be cut
down. War makes saving necessary
all the way down the line. Each new
habit we practice and make a part of
our every-day living in the conserva
tion of materials adds to the effi
ciency and production of the industrial
plants now devoted to the war effort.
Every homemaker has an equally
important job to do. Do not confuse
conservation with salvage. Only when
things are worn out do they become
items for salvage. If they can be
made usable by alteration, mending,
repair, or renovation, they can be con
served for our own or some other
family.
So, you homemakers, enlist on the
home front not only with good inten
tions, but with action. Follow the ad
vice of the Consumer Division of the
OPA:
Spend less and save more.
Make things and have more.
Cut waste and make things last.
Buy carefully and stretch pen
nies.
Budget your hours and make
each count.
Safeguard your family and
help guard your country.
Make every home a Victory Home
through conservation!

"Thrifty-Cooking for Wartime," by
Alice B. Winn-Smith, authority on the
home and its problems, begins with
a salute to "American Housewives,
Generals at Home in Defense." Reci
pes which are really not new, but the
best and thriftiest of the old tried
and true ones are included in this
handy little volume which merely at
tempts to give basic workable direc
tions in various fields of cooking. The
woman who has once started using
this "basic recipe" principle of plan
ning and preparing her cooking will
find that it continually suggests new
ideas, a thing quite out of ordinary
in a cookbook.
With rationing, conservation and
certain limited sources of supply to
loom in many different food markets,
this is a handy little volume to own
right now.

Statement of United Sta
The United States Navy is the
largest single employer of labor in
this country, if not in the world.
The Navy is an integral part of the
United States Government. It is
the Navy of the farmer, the busi
ness man, the banker, and it is the
Navy of labor of all types and cate
gories in short, it is the Navy of
nil of the people of the United
States.
We expect all representatives of
Navy management to meet at all
times representatives of labor on
an all out basis of openmindedness,
friendship, tolerance, and mutual
Kood will. We believe such a work
ing policy carried on by all con
cerned will further enhance the
morale of our Naval Establishments
and we call upon all in authority,
in all levels of management, and
upon labor spokesmen, and labor
itself, to adapt its thinking, its ac
tions, and its sentiments, to the
end that the utmost cooperation
may exist in all of the relationships
within the Navy family all of
whom should be engaged now in
helping to make the Navy the most
effective and powerful weapon pos
sible for the service of our country
in this, the most difficult hour of
its history.
In furtherance of this program,
the Secretary of the Navy, Frank
Knox, and the Commander in Chief
United States Fleet, Admiral Ern

tives of labor from each of the
Navy Yards, and other industrial
Shore Establishments, to meet with
them and other ranking officers of
the Navy in Washington for a con
ference on October 22,1942, at which
ways and means of further imple
menting this program of coopera
tion will be discussed. It is ex
pected that approximately 250 such
representatives, to be selected by
labor as hereafter to be determined,
will be invited to attend this meet
ing. It is also planned to hold such
a meeting at approximately four
month intervals throughout the
period of the war.
There is no propaganda idea
about this program and no bun
combe of any nature. The Navy
family must be welded together as
never before in order to meet this
terrific war menace the extent of
which our people now must realize
and prepare to meet with all the
strength, courage and sacrifice we
possess if we are to win out.
This program does not mean
higher wages, shorter hours of
work, or less discipline it means
closer cooperation, more under
standing of each other's problems,
more friendliness in our relation
ships, and undoubtedly greater sac
rifice on th*e part of all of us. This
is a sincere attempt to bring to
gether in a harmonious unit all
men and women of the Navy family
for the sole purpose of winning this
war and achieving victory for our
country and our common cause.

MATTHEW WOLL
NAMED ADVISER TO
WAR PLANTS UNIT
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Matthew
Woll of the American Federation of
Labor and Philip J. Clowes of the CIO
have been designated as advisers to
the Smaller War Plants Division of
War Production Board, Deputy Chair
man Lou E. Holland announced here.
"I felt I should like to have some
one in each of the two national organ
izations," Holland said, "with whom I
could consult on labor matters, arising
in connection with our work, so I
asked Mr. Murray and Mr. Green each
to designate a member of his organ
ization.
'Both responded at once, and al
though I feel quite certain that we
shall encounter no serious labor prob
lem, I am sure that the counsel of
these distinguished labor men will be
of the greatest value in our efforts to
utilize fully the facilities of smaller
manufacturing plants and the skill
and ingenuity of their workers."
Woll is a vice-president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor Clowes, for
merly of the United Steel Workers of
America, has been for the past two
months associate director (CIO) of
WPB's Labor Production Division.
STRIKES ARE MINOR
CAUSE
OF
Toronto (ILNS).—Help is given our
enemies either by strikes or by ex
aggerating them, L. Metcalfe Walling,
head of the Wage and Hour and Pub
lic Contracts Division of the U. S. De
partment of Labor, told the sixty
second annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor here.
"Anyone who strikes on war pro
duction is helping Hitler and so are
those who exaggerate strikes," Wall
ing said. He pointed out that much
more time is lost through shortage of
materials, lack of machine tools, and
occupational deaths and injuries.
Addressing the Emph'e Club of To
ronto, President William Gi'een of the
A. F. of L. rejected the philosophy
that management and labor are nat
ural enemies and declared that on
their teamwork depended very largely
the success of the war effort.
Green told of a series of meetings
being conducted quietly in Washing
ton by business and labor leaders. The
United States Chamber of Commerce,
the National Association of Manufac
turers, the CIO and the A. F. of
have been represented.
One of the basic purposes, he said,
was "to explore ways and means by
which management and labor could
reach areas of agreement on funda
mental and basic problems and arrive
at a basis for joint action for the so
lution of these problems with a mini
mum of government intervention."

USE OF SERVICE RAG
(RANTED MERCHANT
SEAMEN'S FAMILIES
Washington, D. C. (ILNS). The
service flag, which is customarily
flown to indicate members of a house
hold serving in the armed forces, may
also be used by families of merchant
seamen, Admiral Emory S. Land, War
Shipping administrator, announces.
Admiral Land said that it was both
fitting and proper that members of
the merchant marine, as well as the
men of the Army and Navy, should
be honored by representation on serv
ice flags.
Land pointed out that the merchant
seaman's duties expose him to almost
constant danger. Engaged in trans
porting supplies and equipment to the
far corners of the world and also in
transporting man-power of our coun
try to the fighting fronts, the mer
chant seaman is subject to extraordi
nary peril, he emphasized.
"The American seaman," Admiral
Land said, "is constantly and un
selfishly struggling to preserve a free
nation, and is as much a defender of
liberty as any member of the armed
forces of the United States. An ap
propriate method of paying tribute
would be to use the service flag to
signify service in the merchant ma
rine by members of any household or
establishment."
VOTES OF SOLDIERS
WITHOUT POLL TAX
VALID IN VIRGINIA
Richmond, Va. (ILNS). Virginia
will not contest the new federal law
permitting men in the armed forces
to vote for federal officers regardless
of whether they have registered or
paid their poll taxes.
Attorney-General A. P. Staples has
held that election judges should "count
as valid votes or ballots cast in accord
ance with the provisions" of the new
act.
Staples' opinion was directed to Wil
mer L. O'Flaherty, secretary of the
Richmond Electoral Board, who raised
the point that election officials might
be held to violate their oath should
they count the ballots of those who
had not complied with the state elec
tion laws.
The attorney-general pointed out
that the Constitution of the United
States confers certain war powers
upon Congress and held that this act
comes within the war powers granted
to Congress.
"The act you referred to," Staples
said, "undertakes to protect those in
the armed forces from loss of their
right to vote for these federal repre
sentatives by reason of failure to com
ply with registration and poll tax pay
ment requirements while absent in the
service."
Private shipping companies, acting
as agents for the War Shipping Ad
ministration, operate them as directed
by the WSA. The agents are paid a
stated fee and any excess profits are
turned back to the government.
