Liquid 'Gloves'

cal market, for the benefit of women war workers, is a liquid “work glove.” It comes in a bottle, and, worked into the hands and nail edges, it protects the skin against the grease: and grime, oils and acids of the job. After work, mild soap and water removes glove and grime. The product also incorporates an antiseptic quality which = safeguards against industrial dermatoses. ”n »

Waves for Workers

THE WAR WORKER'S busy schedule is taken into consideration, too, with the introduction of a new “do it yourself at home” permanent wave set. Sometimes working at odd hours, the war worker has difficulty in making appointments at a beauty shop. The new permanent wave set. comes in a neat kit including curlers and retailing at $2. It employs the cool method of. curl-making that .results in a soft natural looking and long-lasting permanent. It’s equally convenient for the busy housewife who can give herself a permanent while she does the family chores. » ” 8

Three stages in achieving the professional touch in home-sliced bread:

1. A meeting of bread knife and -emery wheel. . .

2. A touch of the whetstone, . . .

3. And a firm hand on the loaf, oo 8 } ¥

By LOUISE FLETCHER AN ORDERLY RETREAT under a barrage of bread crumbs was. reported today in a communique from the front ‘lines where the battle of the bread knives has been raging for the past week. ‘Housewives, the communique

jective—a neatly home-sliced loaf —but have fallen back only to consolidate their forces for » new attack. Their first advance upon the unsliced loaf came last week when food distribution ‘order 1, signed by Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, became effective. The order was designed to save labor costs, electric current, the expense of knife sharpening and

said, are hot abandoning their ob~

the cost of replacing slicing machine parts. Also, the non-sliced loaf, it was pointed out, could be wrapped in fewer thicknesses of lighter weight paper. : All of these factors were to combine in keeping the price of bread at current levels despite higher flour prices. gs 2 = CONFRONTED by the order, housewives. from coast to coast

retrieved their old bread knives, many of which, during the readysliced era, had been used for digging dandelions out of - the backyard. ; In early skirmishes, the housewives sustained minor injuries. The chief casualties were among electrical toasters in which lopsided slices became jammed ‘and were incinerated before they could be rescued.

' Many housewives claimed their families’ consumption of bread was soaring; papa still ate three pieces of toast for breakfast even though the slices were thicker— much thicker—than the trim, sliced-at-the-bakery model. In some sectors there was & sharp rise in late afternoon telephone calls requesting father “to ° stop at the store on his way home ard get an extra loaf of bread.” (No protests were registered by the bird population whose daily quota of crumbs, chief by-product of home slicing, Was suddenly

upped.) » 8

RETURNING to battle, the housewives divisions have indicated they will follow advice received from certain armchair strategists. The mode of attack is expected to result in clean, even, tempting slices “just like the baker used to make.” The steps: 1. Start with a sharp: knife. (See a professional knife sharpener for the most cutting effect.) 2. Give the knife a swish or two down a whetstone before beginning’ operations. . 3. Turn the loaf on its side and

start slicing at the bottom edge.

4 Don’t bear down on the knife; use a gentle, sawing motion. 5. Train the eye on the exact Hot through which the knife is descending. 6. Hold the knife flat against the loaf while cutting it. 7. For crusty pumpernickel, add a hacksaw to the kitchen armory.

Tips on the Care Of Electric Irons

Your electric iron is one of your

’| most valued servants. If you expect

“duration” use of it, you must know how to use and .care for it. Keep the sole of the iron clean hy wiping it off with a damp cloth, soapsuds or mild scouring powder. : Never do this while iron is connected or even still hot. Avoid pressing over buttons or other sharp articles; never drop the iron; never put it away before it is perfectly cold. © Also, when the cord becomes worn, replace it with a new one.
