defense work. So busy, in fact, that she no :longer has the hours to spend in beauty shops. The film is designed to show her just how she can still keep up appearances by a little effort at home,

There will be a showing for career women at 5:45 p. m. Monday. Other presentations will be at 2:30 p. m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and at 11 a. m. Friday. A fashion show will follow each of the showings. Block's is the first store in the country to which the movie has been released.

The film shows how various types of skin are analyzed and the treatments recommended. Included are a series of exercises which can be done in the home. It looks simple enough to copy the activity that goes on in the salon’s exercise room, where pounds. are rolled off the wrong places and put on the right ones. There is a peek too into the salon’s lunch bar with a running commentary on what and what not to eat.

Shows Application of Makeup

A step by step application of makeup is illustrated by a model with suggestions on how to disguise one’s “not-so-good” points. And since beauty and fashion is closely allied the cosmetic firm has included advice on clothes buying —what type hats enhance various types of faces and which fabrics and styles are best for the short and the not-so-slender woman.

In connection with the movie, Block's is displaying a $25,000 dresser set made of jade. The order for the 14 pieces was placed three years ago by the Dorothy Gray Salon to create what its executives say is the “most luxurious toilet set in the world.”

Broadcasts Scheduled

Jade was selected as it is a substance difficult to fracture and the Gray company felt it best symbolized “everlasting” beauty. A piece or so at a time, the set has been coming over the now famous Burma road. As it arrived in America, it was sent to American jewelers to be mounted in 18-carat gold. It took three years for Chinese craftsmen to carve the fourteen pieces, including vanities, perfume bottles, tray, lipstick holders, cream jars and a mirror, The set was created under the guidance of A. Livingston Gump of San Francisco, famous authority on jade. Miss Eleanor Kutchens, a representative of Dorothy Gray, will be available for consultation throughout next week in the store’s cosmetic department. She will speak at 4 p. m. tomorrow over WISH and at 10 a. m. Saturday over WIRE.

whith will be on display in connection with the showing of the movie: The film is based on the theme that women, though busy in all kinds of defense activities, can take time to keep up appearances like this busy woman (right) in the uniform.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—What are the girls going to. do during the war? My boy friend has been in service for months but I still love him as I did when he left. I would have married him but I was too young. I spend a lot of my time

doing defense work but long for a good time, dances, and so forth. All the boys know I am crazy about Jim and don’t take me out. There are millions like me. What can we do for entertainment? LONESOME

Answer: There also are millions like your boy friend who have had their lives completely disrupted, who have left their homes and friends to fight for our country. What are they going to do for entertainment? For the most part they do without. The boys are making the big contribution. At least they have the drama, danger and excitement of the war to sustain them. The girls, it is true, have the boring part to do. They have to sit at home and wait, miles away from the action. I have been told that the English found the war easier to put up with while London was being bombed. Horrible as it was it was still drama which kept them keyed to’ concert pitch. When the bombing ceased it was harder simply to wait and make dull sacrifices, doing without clothing, food and other comforts of life. So far in this country we have given up few of our comforts, but there are heavier sacrifices to come. Of course you and millions like you long for a good time in the old carefree manner, but you can’t have it. You are confronting an emergency the like of which you've never known before, and you have to learn how to live with it. I do not mean that you have to live in complete gloom. The young people who are left will band together for companionship and do the best they can to find diversion. The movies are left. Summer sports are here again. Nothing quite makes up for the absence of the boys, but there still are things left to do. ; There are service clubs in town, organized for the entertainment of the soldiers who are with us. You might offer your services to one of them and do what you can for the diversion of the service men. After all they have the big load to carry, and you can forget your own privations in helping to alleviate theirs. Every woman has fo find the courage within herself to meet her own situation and so will you. * JANE JORDAN.

HERE'S HOW TO SAVE

THOSE 1MPORTANT VITAMINS”

Follow these simple rules and

1. Many vitamins are water-soluble. Therefore,

"excessive water and

hard boiling dissolves the

nutritive goodness of vegetables. Bring the small amount of salted water to a boil first. Then add the vegetables to the water and turn the gas flame to a low simmer and cook gently until ten-

der. Serve immediately!

2. Keep the pot covered. This produces a “steam action” which helps cook the vegetables tender in

shorter time.

Save the vitamin-rich liquid and

use as a cocktail or as a sauce.

3. Cook potatoes and other root vegetables in

their skins.

But if you do prefer to pare them,

pare as thinly as possible because the vitamins and minerals -are most abundant near the skin. Never let peeled vegetables stand in cold water. Cook them immediately.

Proper cooking preserves vital elements in foods!

Vegetables are excellent sources of many of the health-giving vitamins and minerals. That’s why the balanced diet recommended by your Government includes three or more vegetables every day,

But when vegetables are carelessly cooked, vitamins and minerals are lost. The trick is to cook foods carefully and. properly. Pon’t worry about the need for special - equipment. Your present gas range and any ordinary utensils or saucepans (except copper which destroys Vitamin C) will do.

Thus, in line with this thinking, your gas company—serving thousands of Indianapolis homes—considers it a patriotic privilege to support the National Nutrition Program by suggesting ways to cook your foods in order to get the maximum nutritive value from them. :

you serve more VITAMINS!

4. Don’t add soda to vegetables for “color.” Soda destroys Vitamins Bl and C. Don’t stir vegetables. Stirring permits oxygen to enter and. oxygen destroys some of the Vitamin C.

5. * Overcooking meats destroys the vitamin content. The only exception to this rule is fresh pork which must be thoroughly cooked. Cook meats slowly at moderate temperatures. When you roast, have faith in your gas oven, The heat control makes “peeking” unnecessary.

6. Rroil foods whenever possible instead of frying them. Many vitamins in meats are fat-soluble and frying destroys these nutritive elements. Broiling glso helps retain the delicious and healthful juices.
