Tn—day, June I§, 1942 For a Day At the Park, Wear Cotton By JOAN DEAN wm BACK again to the good old days when a merry-go round waa a horseback ride for the boras d>y « . . not a refer ence to the hlther-edther life we led pre-war. With our horse lees carriage just about on the shelf, ye ©Me merry-go-round is booming. Of course, the same goes for the whip, ferns wheel, loop-the loop, airplanes, roller coaster and all the rest of the fancy vehicles at amusement parks, if your equilibrium won’t stand that vigorous • riding, you can concentrate on the shooting gal leries and such. • • • BOTH OF Detroit’s large amusement spots can be reached via the local buslines, thus con serving the family limousine. You can even do your swimming there, in a pool at Eastwood or the lake at Jefferson Beach . . . to eliminate long treks to inland lakes. Incidentally. Jefferson Beach has an attraction for Father, who la apt to think these fun spots merely child’s play. The United States Nsvy has a vast recruiting station out there on the lakeside, in the form of a destroyer (fake, of course). Inside this wooden struc ture, a navy exhibit of war equipment is going on day in. day out It’s all downright in teresting to the mechanically - minded folks and educational to the rest of us. • • • WE’RE LEAS concerned about how you spend your time in thi park than how you look while you’re doing it Our main ad vice in the fashion line is that you wear fresh cool cottons, as fitting to the roller skating rink as to the dance floor and vice versa. As a suggestion, we chose the rasrle-daxzler. pictured today... white eyelet inset in a button hack spun Jacket and used en tirely lor the flared skirt. It's a beau-catcher if ever there was one.

Her dress Elsie Robinson How Free People Face The Threat of Death HERE S SOMETHING, I think, the rest of the country should know. It's something that all frightened American? should know —and who of us isn't? It's about a city that sits and smiles. I'm meaning my own city, San Francisco. Have you ever seen her? She’s more than a city. She’s romance and beauty and allure m . she's a gypsy and a 'vitrh and a proud senorita in he trailing lace of her fogs . . . n the spreading glory of her hills. There on the hills she is wait ing today with a smile on her lips hut a dreadful wisdom in her eyes. For she knows full well that above all other cities she means America to the little yellow men. A Happy City Hill after hill—crowned with stars, circled by the singing tide the very air perfumed with love liness —roses and acacia, violets and magnolias spilling their fragrance to meet the salt savor of the sea. And up and down her alleys and glittering high ways a happy people went. Now they still go—as proud in their bearing, as Arm in their tread, as ever before. But where once they faced life and drank it deep to its purple dregs they now fare the menace that is arising over the loom o’ the lights. Each wave brings it nearer, each night draws it closer. When and if it will come no one ran know, hut this all America should know. Walt and Laugh Still she sits on her lovely hills, fragrant and jeweled, beautiful above all cities. But now her hay bristles with guns. Along her far-flung beaches more guns are camouflaged. Still she is the great senorita. hut there is a knife in her garter and when the time comes she will know how to use it. This is San Francisco. This is America. No other nation not even Britain, ran understand this strange thing—that a people ]f]ewd for Iff] ode tn lA/omen TAKING A WHIRL ON THE MERRY-GO-ROUND For ihopping information, tolophono Joan Doan, CHorry 8800, lino 347 may w'ait and laugh. A free people. A people who might escape to the mountains and the hidden valleys, yet view such escape with contempt. Frae People A city under the shadow . Yet women plant their victory gar dens beneath that shadow. And boys and girls dance and fall in love and marry. And beneath my w-indow. which I must tape today, a humming bird has its nest. This is San Francisco. This is America. This is how' free people face the threat of death. ago some one who had also faced death summed it all up in these words with the same smile—"O death, where is thy sting; O grave, where is thy victory!” Death ran never conquer a nation that waits and smiles, and fringes its smile with guns.

The WAACs Put Ceiling On Weight By IDA JEAN BAIN WHAT DO you think Uncle Sam’s first move was when Con gress got around to deciding in favor of a feminine army? Why, he promptly put a ceiling on avoirdupois! If you tip the beam at higher than the standard weight chart allowance for your height—and age—you can’t get into this new Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps. But Uncle Sam is pretty broadminded. As you get into the 21 plus stages you are al lowed to weigh more. At the age of 21 you are sup posed to weigh around 106 pounds for a height of 6 feet; from 21 to 25 you can weigh 114 pounds for the same height; from 26 to 30, you can go on up to 117 pounds; from 31 to 35. you are allowed to reach 120 pounds; from 36 to 40 a weight of 123 pounds, and from 41 to 45 you can hit 123 to 126 pounds top. The scale goes up to a maxi mum of about 171 pounds for women f feet tall. Normal Weight But regardless of age, the best women soldiers will be the ones who hold their normal weight. Whatever you are entitled to weight at 30 is your best weight from then on. You can see that weight has nothing to do with age. Your bones do not weigh more as you grow older. Neither do your organs. Any increase In weight is simply In fatty tissue and so much extra burden. Your normal weight really depends on your structure. With a stocky frame you can weigh more than with a slight frame. Therefore, a woman of 5 feet 5 inches can weigh up to 135 poumls and be normal weight. With a very large frame she could weigh as much as 146 pounds for normal. The varia tion in structure changes the weight figure. Depends on Freme Start your figuring on the basis of a height of 5 feet and give yourself 100 pounds, 106 pounds, 110 pounds and 120 pounds for a alight, medium, stocky or a very large frame. Then, if you have an excep tionally large frame you can get away with a bit extra. For each inch over 5 feet you are entitled to five extra pounds of weight. And that is all there is to this weight business. Your structure is the deciding factor. Check Weight It’s nice to know that the WAAC’s will be kept in good shape with girdles. When we get around to rationing these garments they will be given preference. That is at it should be. You may not be able to volun teer but you would do well to get into good condition. Check up on your weight. If you are overweight, you are not as efficient as you should be. The women who are left be hind are going to have to do more work and they can carry on better with weight at normal.
