Man's World - For Smokers In England

Women Affected by

Rationing Machinery

By ROSETTE "HARGROVE Times Special Writer :

LONDON, July 14.—British women have been most affected by the faulty working of the wartime ra~ tioning machinery. For example, although there are

plenty of most brands of cigarets| :

The Curls

to go around, in the suburbs and the] |

provinces retailers have practically reserved for men only the prerogative of smoking. Some shops have even gone to the lengths of putting up a notice, “No cigarets sold to women.” : And that, in the opinion of British women, is just going a bit too far. Considering that women are doing men’s jobs and can be said to be in the thick of the fight, why shouldn’t they smoke as much as men if they want to? The duties of a fire-watcher, airraid warden or ambulance driver call for long, weary hours of waiting, and a cigaret helps soothe the nerves, they argue. Bootlegged cigarets made their appearance as the tobacco shortage grew. Many are strange brands, with strange names and even strange flavors. You hear “Sh-h-h, just off the boat,” in London the way you used to hear it in New York during prohibition days.

Run on Silk Stockings

Then there is the problem of silk stockings. Not so long ago, “Darn for Victory” was still another slogan added to all the others suggested to British women. The output of silk stockings was further to be reduced, owing to the telescoping of factories and the absorption of the superfluous ones in the war machine, and sheer hose was completely to disappear from the market for * the duration. “Service weight” was to be the only quality available, in only a few shades. Now the omniscient Board of Trade comes out with an announcement that thousands of pairs of silk stockings are shortly to be released. But when or at what price still remains a great mystery. Women who scrambled, fought and went to all sorts of devices to

buy up all the silk stockings they |2

could lay their hands on, and at any price, in the belief that they would soon be unable to obtain any at all, are feeling a little peeved. The reason given by the authorities is that stockings, like oranges, don’t keep indefinitely. Rather than see stockings deteriorate, it was deemed preferable to place them within reach of liome consumers. Even so, according to Government officials, “There won’t be enough to go around and prices will be fixed.”

Housewives’ Fight for Fruit

Then there is the fight for fruit. English-grown peaches are sold almost like jewelry, and as for oranges _—which arc imported, of course— well! You may consider yourself lucky when your greengrocer whispers, “I may have some oranges for you this week-end”—and three days later presents you with four small oranges, for all the world as if they were diamonds. Even the lowly cod, skate and whiting have become practically aristocratic. Prices soared to as much as 85 cents a pound for what used to be considered the coarsest fish obtainable. Mackerel and herrings cost more, while soles, turbot or plaice could be found only on the millionaire’s table or in Mayfair's expensive restaurants. Fish prices are shortly to be controlled, and housewives think it is about time, but fear the same thing will happen as did to oranges, jam, canned goods and generally all controlled foods—the holders simply refused to release them, and that was that,

Profiteering in Poultry

There's a lot of wrangling going on in the chicken department. Maximum wholesale and retail prices were fixed some time ago, but to try and find a bird at the controlled price is almost as difficult as finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. The trouble here is that prices do nct apply to live birds, purchased, for breeding or laying. * And that is where the racketeer comes in. Large firms send agents into the counfry to buy up live birds-—paying as much as five dollars a piece. According to the Daily Mail, these chickens, for “breeding purposes,” ultimately appear on Mr. War Profiteer’s table, despite the fact that the buyer signed a declaration that they would be used for other purposes. . So even if Mrs. Middle-class would like, once in a while, to give her family chicken for dinner as a special treat, and at the same time eke out her meat ration, she is just out of luck. Chicken is as far beyond her budget as caviar.

Relief for Light Burns

If you burn yourself in the kitchen or laundry, you can get quick relief by rubbing the spot very gently with a moistened cake of soap. Let the lather dry, and do ‘not remove for an hour or so.

We, the Women— Enjoy Children While They Are Young

By RUTH MILLETT

SOME COUPLES have children for the same reason they take out endowment, policies—to provide security for their old age. These are the couples who, in later years, become disillusioned, and think their children are ingrates. All any couple should expect to gain from having children is the pleasure of family life, the stimulation: of watching the growth , of children, the pride that comes from watching them become self-re-liant human beings, the youthfulness of mind th at children ‘encourage in adults, . The pleasure of children should come Ruth Millett when they are And that isn’t too short a time. Most children don’t leaves their homes for good until they are 20 years old or more. That is 20 years for parents to enjoy and get the most out of them and that is all they should ask for. If, after that time, the children go away from home, become too absorbed in their own lives and their own families to have a great deal of time for their parents—the parents shouldn’t feel hurt, cheated, and wonder why they ever had children. " » ” ”

IT SHOULD BE enough then to know that their children are getting along all right, are able to take care of themselves, and that they have a deep affection—if not much time—for their parents. If, on top of all that, parents are lucky enough to have their children near—that is so much velvet. It shouldn’t be counted on, though, and children shouldn't be nagged into being dutiful. 1 When children marry and have children of their own—they are no longer children, but parents. And their own parents should be able to see it that way. ;
