Consumer Division of OPM| Advises on Buying Bed Springs,

BUYING GUIDES to be used in the purchase of bed springs made of steel, an essential war material, have been issued by Miss Harriet Elliott, associate administrator of the Office of Price Administration and head of the Consumer Division. She urged consumers to take great care to suit their purchases to their needs in order that this strategic material may not be wasted. Miss Elliott made the following recommendations. based on information developed by members of her staff: 1. A good spring should not sag or) sway easily and it should hold the . mattress level, It should have suf-| Tailored ficient “give” to it and the capacity | to come back to its original shape! when the pressure is taken off. | 2. For both wear and comfort | make sure, if you are buying open/ coil bed springs, that their coneshaped coils are set into a steel frame. Such springs, if well constructed, are highly satisfactory. 3. Avoid loosely coiled springs of thin wire. Make sure that in a full) sized spring from 80 to 89 coils are used. If the coils are well-designed, | #0 usually are enough.

The use of “double deck” springs is advantageous for heavier persons—those weighing 178 pounds’ or more.

Answer—The thing that you and your husband do not realize is that marriage is a partnership in which close co-operation is necessary. You are pretty selfish young people, each underestimating the task of the other and wishing to contribute nothing to the other's comfort.

Your husband works 60 hours a week in five 12-hour stretches, It

who has only two rooms to care for can put in 60 hours a week doing it, or work a 12-hour stretch at any one time. With any sort of efficiency you are bound to have hours and hours more leisure time than your husband has. One would think that it would be your pleasure to relieve him of as many home tasks as posible.

Use Dress Buttons For Earrings

When Ruth Warrick of the films buys a dress with fancy buttons on it, she orders an extra pair of these fastenings. Then she buys a pair of earrings at the dime store, breaks

the dress buttons on in their place, and presto! she has ear ornaments that are close kin to the costume itself.
