And the industry is busy develop- ing ideas to make them spend still more, Many companies are redesign- ing containers, improving store counter displays, introducing new products and offering consumers price concessions. Cosmetics sales skyrocketed dur- ing the war. By 1946 they had reach. ed a record high of between $699,- 600,000 and $853,000,000. Then they slumped a bit from the peak, but in- dustry leaders say a mew upward sales trend is in the making. Beauty Fashion Magazine, a trade publication, predicts that "higher sales figures than those reported in 1947 soon will become the rule and not an exception, as they are now. During the war the accent was on luxury goods. High priced perfumes; expensive cosmetic kits and other gift items were popular, Fancy toi- letries for men boomed. Last Christmas the picture chang- ed. Other types of gifts were plenti- ful and consumers were pretty well stocked with fancy toilet goods. Cosmetic departments suffered. Total sales of cosmetics and tol- letries were off somewhat during 1947. Estimates of the decline range from three to 15 per cent. They con. tinued to lag this spring, "The industry has been through a period of readjustment," said Charles Pennock, president of the Toilet Goods Association. "Indica- tions now are that sales this year may move to a new high." Consumer buying has readjusted, too. Women have turned from lux- ury goods to lower-priced creams and lotions. They have spent more for home skin and hair care, and have cut down their visits to the beauty parlor. Home permanent wave sets have sold in increasing numbers. One big producer said sales should exceed 30,000,000 units this year. There has been an increased demand for shampoo. "It looks as though products for hair care will become a major part of the cosmetic industry, ranking with skin treatment," said Drug and Cosmetic Industry, a trade publica- tion, Reflecting that trend, several ma- jor companies have introduced new shampoos, Others have entered the home permanent field. Lever Brothers, soap manufactur- ers, during the year added cosme- tics, a home permanent and sham- poo to its other products. In line with presentation of cos- metics as utility items rather than luxuries, a new comer to the field, Allied Home Products Corporation of Beloit, Wis., is selling them in grocery stores. Nathan C. Levine, president, said the company's winsome cosmetics division will sell its line of 10 beauty items through groceries exclusively because they have daily. consumer traffic whicta surpasses that of other type of retail outlet. Spunky Little Cockney Woman _ Tells Whitehall What's What By JAMES McCOOK London,--(CP)--Mrs. Edith Rich- ardson, 54, Cockney and "not frightened of the . big "uns," has gone to Whitehall to tell the gov- ernment what housewiyes want. She'll be listened to. She goes as a member of the Clothing Advisory Committee appointed by Harold Wilson, president of the Board of Trade, to advise him. She will tell those in authority what 1,000,000 other British women want to tell them, that "I've never had such dif- ficulty holding a few threads to- gether." Mrs. Richardson thinks it may all have started with soap. She is a cleaner of offices and she remem- bers a woman "who had something official about her", who asked ques- tions about soap. "I spoke my mind about that soap and we got from soap to clo- thes-washing and from washing to coupons." said Mrs. Richardson, Then came an official letter ask- ing her to serve on the committee. This Cockney veteran of auster- ity, wartime blitzes and the trials of 32 years of marriage, stoutly built and strong, has no tine for theories or fancy language. Her husband, who delivers coal, gets 70 shillings ($14) a week. She has two sons, one in ill-health and with two children of his own. She helps the latter by going out morn- ing and evening to clean offices. She went down to the govern- ment offices to tell them: "Do away with these flipping clothes ration coupons--they only breed crime.

European women are united in their objective of better living con- ditions, according to - Elizabeth Long, CBC superintendent of wom- en's interests, recently returned from an eight-week trip abroad. She found greater strength in wo- men's organizations in the seven principal cities she visited, and feels that they are making an im- portant contribution to general world betterment. In every country, she says, she found one or two women of good- will and outstanding ability who had made a contribution to public life, both on the national and in- ternational level. Small, pert Miss Long was in Switzerland for an executive con- ference of the International Coun- cil of Women, in which she is the convener of the standing commit- tee on radio. She is the only Cana- dian to head a standing committee of the council, which serves as one of the advisory bodies of the United Nations. Miss Long also attended a meeting of the non- governmental international organ- izations having consultative status with UN. Enthusiasm of the women in the various countries she visited varied At tha International Women's Alliance conference in Rome, dele- gates were concerned with wom- en's. earning power in and out of the home. In France, the women were interested in consumer in- formation, and expressed particular enthusiasm for the Canadian Asso- ciation of Consumers as explained in an address by Miss Long. IT Belgium, where social services are under the direction of the various political parties, the women of the country were worked . up about conditions in the Belgian Congo. Help to the women of Africa is a common bond between France and Belgium, Miss Long found. 'Women in Holland had promised to improve the quality of imported films. - They were also organizing a women's fair for August in con- nection with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Qeen Wilhelmina.
