The soap and the sample of textile had been "smuggled out of Germany and they were 'displayed to demon- strate what happens when fabrics of poor quality are washed with ersatz soap. It was a small<y cake of the best quality toilet soap, green and gritty in the hands. Even under soap ration- ing, the British are estimated to use fifteen pounds a year per eapita - against the current Ger- man ration of six pounds, and British soap is sixty per cent fatty content, whereas in the Reich it is between fifteen and twenty per cent, the rest being "loaded with clay." 'German pre-war plans for the manufacture of soap out of syn- thetic fats derived from coal have collapsed because of other more important demands on coal for use in making synthetic gasoline, rubber and other products, A Ministry of Economic War- fare expert on soap said he be: lieved the German product was a real hardship and even a danger to the peoplle.

The publicity attendant on that homely garment, a woman's girdle, is reaching heroic proportions. For a while it seemed that all was lost and the feminine world must "bulge for Britiin", Lately leading corset firms have been approached by defence industries for men's as well as wonlen's sup- ports. Medical heads find that girdles are a necessary contribu- tion to the conservation of encrgy for national defence and workers 'need slieh support. So women will probably continue to breathe freety without showing it. And don't forget that garments such - as girdles, worn iiext to the skin, are particularly exposed to pers- piration, and need frequent dip- ping in rich, pure suds, With garments containing rubber, re- member it 'is very important to dry them away from heat. BY "Be Thrifty But Don't Be Dowdy" No one wants women to look dowdy, not even members of the national committee who are call- ing on Canadians to put every- thing they can into war savings. So "Be thrifty but don't be dowdy" should be the feminine maxim _for 1942, A fresh collar, a new hat, a bit of bright "color in scarf or jewelry--all these things can make an old dress look attractive ° again as any woman with an eye for style knows. In the interest of war cconomy no girl should spend all her money on clothes, but she should try to look as smart as she can on as" little as: possible, for attractively dressed women have a good effect' on national morale, The cjothing industry is doing a fine job in trying to turn out attractive' clothes in spite of shortages in material and labor.

"It even sounds crazy to me when 1 say it but . . . that's the way "it is" Jonesy looked up from her desk.

You're getting the Old Duchess . . , and for free.

You can't lock people up in this fire trap. This theatre's been condemned for fifteen years," Tommy was dazed. He hégan to plead. "Look Mr, Moriarty you - can't do this, you can't stop the show. Fifty little kids. that never. saw the sunlight..." ; But Moriarty couldn't be wmov- ed. "I know all &bout the kids," he shouted, fighting against his own better nature, "and 1 got a mother too but if that audience ain't out of this theatre in fifteen minutes I'll have to call the Eighth Precinct." : Tommy knew then there was no hope at all. Quietly, he went to the footlights, explained things to the audience and told them they could get their money back at the bo¥ office. : Within the allotted time, they 'had filed out and Tommy sat in his dressing room with Penny, eat- ing his heart out. "Well," he said bitterly, "we all did our best and where did it get us? Right out in left field. Sure, never mind yourself, Just help people, be Santa Claus, make sacrifices and if you keep on like that every day of your life you * oughta be a big success when you're about a hundred and sixty -. years old."

WG Reed crumpled®his hat in fury. "Now she's 'trying to sell me a ticket," "Oh no Mr. Reed.". She was shoving "him out front and to a seat, at the same time making frantic signals to Tommy. "Dear.

The quart of milk allowed for each child need not all be fresh milk; evap- orated milk will do for many things in cooking. Cereals are of the least expensive foods, They furnish a large supply of encrgy for the amount of money invest- ed.. Whole grain cereals are also a source of minerals, vitamins and bulk, and arc necessary when the 'amount of fresh fruits and vegetables has to be decreased. From the standpoint' of food value, fruits and vegetables are very similar, Vegetables may be made. to serve double duty. Raw cabbage is a good source of Vita- min.C. Oranges, onions, turnips, attractive - parsuips and carrots are all ex- cellent sources of food value and minerals. Dried fruits, peas and beans are just as nourising as-fresh ones and are usually cheaper. Also they. cost less in bulk than in fancy packaged varieties.

There are probably no passenger automobiles being made in Canada 'today. Very. near the same situation exists in the Unit: "ed States. This creates an 'econ- omic problem for automobile deals ors and salesmen and for the ser- vice stations. .Their only conso- lation is that there will be more repair work on cars while the war is on, and that after the war. there will be an unprecedented boom in the auto business.
