A NEW YORK designer with a lively imagination uses several colors in one dress, dividing the frock. into blocks of color, For example, 8 frock with greige body has one

This does Tot give the harlequin look, as one might imagine, but instead a| distinctly new and fresh appearance. Another dress, in beige celanese jersey, half navy and half rust with a , two-color belt. 2 » - » 3 Perhaps one of the most attractive styles to be seen in mid-season is made of looped mohair wool in a fresh periwinkle blue shade. The silhouette is distinguished by a dropped shoulder line cropped at the top of the arm making it sleeveless without being bare. Closings are of bold brass hooks.

Woman's $ Viewpoint— Voters Should Stay on Job After Election
“By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON . Times Special Writer SOMETIMES VOTERS seem just a little too “human.” For example, in a certain city, a majority of the I'people elected several men to office on a “reform platform.” Then, as usual, most of them went on about their regular business. ‘The officials hopefully took the first steps to eliminate the vice spots — and the fat was in the fire. For that sort of thing is never as easy as it seunds. The forces that fatten upon the profits of evil do not retire gracefully because® the voters have spoken. Instead they resort to every legal device and every legal trick. Bribes can “be cleverly dispensed. The propaganda brigade starts drumming. Issues are deliberately muddled in the public mind. And the reserve troops who lie low during
‘la truce are called in from all quar-
ters. The battle is on. Where then do we find the good citizens? Some of them are in church or attending prayer meeting, or serving in club committee rooms. They are engaged ip worthy enterprises, and far too -busy to bother with a matter which they thought was settled at the polls.
2 2 os UNFORTUNATELY too much of our reforming is tongue work. After election the officals are expected to “pass their miracles” with no aid save that given by God. The voters crawl back into their snug and pious retreats. They honestly believe that with good men in office “g]l’s right with the world!” Most efforts to improve municipal conditions fail simply because we have not the vision to sée we must back up our officers after election as well as before. They must feel behind them the power and authority of the groups which stand for better governments and cleaner cities, and which are willing to act as shock troops in the advance and as reserves when a retreat threatens. For our civic battles must be carried on much as military ones are: When you have ammunition and the soldiers, it's plain crazy to withdraw at the moment real fighting should begin.

each of many factors dependent on and interacting on the others, that it’s impossible to point to any one cause—except, of course, the war. And in each scarce product, there are special causative factors that are different from . those of other foods. -Take butter, for example. Begin with the manpower shortage. Cows must be milked twice a day, and fewer hands can’t milk more cows. Add to this the high prices of beef. The farmer found, for the first time, that it was profitable to kill his milch cows. » t s FEWER HANDS, fewer cows mean less butter. On the other side: Many families who previously couldn't afford butter are now able to buy it, America’s troops must get the best. America’s allies must be well fed.

Health— | Urges Checking On Smallpox Protection
By JANE STAFFORD
Science Service Writer
IF YOU HAVE been reading
‘ Inewspaper reports of the outbreak
of smallpox in a farming community in Pennsylvania, I hope it reminded you, no matter how far from Pennsylvania you live, to check up on your own smallpox protection and that of your family. This protection consists in having yourself vaccinated against the disease.. Even if you have been vaccinated some time in the past, ask your doctor or your local health officer about being revaccinated. A single vaccination in infancy does not guarantee full protection against smallpox for life. But you can get fresh protection by revaccination. It is particularly important for you to check up on this vaccination if you have moved to another city or a war job, or if your home town. is the site, of a war industry or, near an army camp which has prought thousands from all over the country into your community. ” ” 8
AMONG THESE many new people with whom you are in daily
been vaccinated, and who might, therefore, get smallpox, just as the Pennsylvania farmers did, and pass it along to you. Vaccination Is done by pressing into the skin with a needle a small amount of the living virus of gowpox, which is a permanently weakened smallpox virus. The procedure causes no bleeding, is safe, practically painless. No dressing should be applied. It is a cause of sore arms. If some moisture is produced on the vaccinated spot after a few ‘days, a piece of sterile gauze may be pinned to the inside of the sleeve but nothing, *he U. S. public health service cautions, should be attached to the arm. With modern methods of vaccination, the scar consists of a single small pit.

prices, he has, in some cases, stopped carrying a few unprofitable. lines. More than that, it is becoming * increasingly hard for many grocers to pre-guess demand. Gasoline rationing is changing many a housewife’s marketing habits, keeping her closer to home, swamping her local grocers. . And don’t leave out the consumer. With greater incomes and fewer consumer goods to spend it on, consumers are eating more and better than ever before. Unfortunately, too, every whisper of a possible food shortage sends greedy buyers stampeding — so that the possibility becomes a ‘reality, when perhaps it needn't have.
- WELL, WHY est the government do something? The food trade ‘feels that the administration was in fact short-sighted in failing to foresee the shortages. There were undoubtedly governmental blunders—a “victory food special” on cheese, for example, just before the shortage of dairy products. ‘The trade also was shocked at the failure of the administration to appoint a food administrator sooner than last month. It isn’t overly pleased at the choice of Secretary Wickard for the job, either. Food merchants feel that a business expert, familiar with distribution problems, could have handled the job better than a farmer’s man, whose chief concern is with production—the only phase of the food situation which does not need untangling. ‘Defenders of the administra-
Beauty
By .ALICIA HART Times Special Writer HOW TO WEAR slacks unselfconsciously is getting to be quite a problem, as the number of women in men’s jobs increases. There are several solutions. Don’t wear slacks when you'll be with people (especially men) who don’t like them, when the. necessity for wearing them is not obvious. For example, don’t wear slacks when you go walking the dog on a Sunday morning in a neighborhood where most people are dressed for church. Second, choose the slacks carefully. New cuts, not too long in the crotch, are becoming to women with average figures. Slacks that hug you tight around the hips and below the hips will not look pretty. The garment should fit smoothly but not too snugly, and it should hang from your waistline just as truly as your skirt does. That waistline-hang is perhaps the most important item. 8 8 8 AND, LASTLY, if you have a derriere. that calls for slimming—sit with legs outstretched, feet together, hands on floor in back of you, and raise the torso high off the floor and drop to the floor. Do this exercise vigorously, dropping first on one side, then on the other. Don’t get so enthusiastic,
sue. Now sit straight, tummy in, legs straight forward. Lift the legs from the hips and push forward without bending the knees. These routines, sistently, will slim you down.

query: How could the government foresee shortages when production set world’s. records, dnd when no one knew from day to day what new military -and lease-lend Tequirsments would be? y
IT 1S NATIONAL policy to feed the peoples of the occupied countries liberated by allied arms. Reports from Africa, whose larder had been stripped bare by the collaborationist Vichy French, indicate that the food the Americans brought with them played ‘a large role in the winning of the natives’ support. Yet who in the government could tell, an -hour before the action was planned, what kinds of food, and how much, would be needed? In the overall picture, estimates indicate that 25 per cent of next year’s crops will go to military and lease-lend needs. But until the scenes of action are chosen, who can plan million - pound menus when those needed for Arctic service must necessarily be entirely different from ones for the tropics? Admitting, then, that no one factor is responsible for short ages, why not ration immediately a ‘scarcity appears? This will be done, increasingly, in the future.
