Lubrication. Answer for
Dry Skins
By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer WINTER is a real bane of dry skins, Dry heat indoors does as] much damage as cold blasts outdoors. So what's to do? First, wash your face and neck with soap and water at night only. Use cream for mornings and cleansings during the day. Next, apply night cream regularly. A really dry skin needs this even in summer, and when winter comes it’s imperative. And that's the long and short of specific remedies. But there are other measures which will show equally important results. The girl or woman whose health habits are perfect isn't likely to have a severe skin problem, short of a sudden silment which requires a doctor's attention. So if your skin is very dry, look to your eating, sleeping and exercise.

No more fashion frills for the duration say Lois Spier (left) and Frances Howell of Park College, who designed the burlap jackets that they are wearing, made from common gunny-sacks that cost 5 cents each. The simple jackets are fastened with brightly painted safety pins that match the saddle stitching around the edges. With so many materials on the priority list the girls believe the jackets may be one of the answers to low-cost clothing for young ladies in a nation at war.

MORE THAN THAT, she needs to be a creature of imagination. Any girl with eighth-grade intelligence could make a fairly good home, given a nice house or apartment filled with new furniture and dishes. But, today's young wife is more likely to find herself in a furnished room or apartment in a strange city than settled down snugly in a bungalow in the town in which she was born. And so she has to know how to make a home out of any lodgings she and her husband can find and afford. She has to have complete faith in her man, too. For she may be separated from him for no one knows how long—and during that time she has to believe in him and in his love for her. A lot harder job than a girl used to have, when she could keep her eye on her man. So it takes a finer, more intelligent, more capable girl to make a young man a suitable wife than it used to. Young men know that | —and the girls who don't measure | up are going to find it hard to get! husbands—at least for the duration.

When measuring, take into consideration the placing of the design in the material. Q—Is “capeskin,” from which gloves are made, real leather? A—Capeskin is a fine washable leather made from the skin of South African Cape goats. Q—Recently I cooked parsnips for the first time and my family seems to like them. Are there ways to serve them besides boiling whole and seasoning with butter, salt and pepper? A—They are delicious boiled until practically done and then browned with roast meat or fowl. Or they can be served with a cream sauce or sauteed. To saute, boil them until done, slice lengthwise after they have been drained, and brown on ‘all sides in butter or bacon fat.
Civilian Defense Head Praises Voters’ League Service Plan
Assistance of the Indiana League of Women Voters through its wartime service program was welcomed today by Clarence A. Jackson, State Defense Council director. The program is designed to spread understanding of the problems | facing the Government during the war emergency. The plan is an | effort to reach an increasing number of persons with brief, factual information on pressing governmental problems. Commenting on the league's program as a direct contribution to civilian defense effort, Mr. Jackson said: “One great fact stands out clearly in the conflict that has engulfed the nation. “The war can be won only by the pooling of the strength of all the individuals whose sum total makes the United States of America. Civilian defense, therefore, has a tremendous role to play in the war effort and large numbers of civilians are eager to sacrifice, to work, to be effective. “But part of their equipment must be an understanding of wartime government to reach this goal. “The wartime service of the League of Women Voters is designed to meet this need. “Its purpose is a necessary and

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 14 and a freshman in high school. I have a brother 19 years old and a sister’ eight. My father has been in the insane hospital for three years. My brother quit school when he was 16 and went to work. My mother works, too. My brother will not let me have dates. He brings boys to the house and if they speak to me he gets mad at me. He will not take me any place and I do not have any money to go. I love to roller skate and have my own high speeds. Mother and my 8-year-old sister go to bed at dark and my brother goes away every night. I cannot read because it runs up the light bill. There is nothing to do but go to bed. Should I go ahead and have dates without my brother's knowledge?

You will have to stand up for yourself and reason with your brother. Don’t let him bluff you. You have a right to invite your friends to the house. If he runs out every evening he cannot’ expect you to stay home alone and not even burn a light. You have your lessons to get and should be able to read for pastime. Speak up and let him know you're alive. Point out the dismal place you occupy in the home. Your brother cannot drive boys away from you without having you meet them secretly. Get your mother to help you. Tired and overworked as she may be, she is bound to know that companionship with others is not only a pleasure but a necessity in a young girl's life. JANE JORDAN.
