Woman's Viewpoint— Mrs. Ferguson Defends Landlords

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer IN THE CURRENT Ladies Home Journal Mrs. Roosevelt takes a sock at ‘our landlords. | With price ceilings in effect, they often refuse to make the usual and necessary ree pairs, she says, and they bluff their tenants, and

parents,’ know how long it takes public opinion to get steamed up for action. Nor can we wholly exonerate the parents. When we feel shame that

ments and houses whose doors are closed to little children, we dare not put all the burden for this social crime upon the landlords’ shoulders. They have had unpleasant, costly experiences with people who permit their boys and girls to destroy property without compunction. And many a shiftless adult would rather let things go t@ ruin than keep them in repair. Now; whea ®0

ing their youngsters with incompetent help or alone, property damage is increasing. J ® 2 » CHILDREN aren't born with a sense of property value. Unless trained to acquire if, they may go through life wrecking everything they touch. Besides, are they not growing up in a world dedicated to destruction? Both life and property are being sacrificed upon the altar of war. The conversation of their elders, the movies they. see, the “funnies” they read, all detail devastation. ‘So the parent now has a double duty—to rear his child to respect those things which are not respected by its own social group. This is not a jolly job. Perhaps the cold-hearted-landlord attitude will finally make us aware of our responsibilities, and the rising generation may teach its young that the destruction of another’s property is a social crime as well as a legal misdemeanor,

A Neat Appearance Is a Triumph

For British Men

As Rationing Gets in Its Licks

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK Copyright, 1843, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. LONDON, Feb. 4—The neat, appearance of British men and the smartness of British women might lead the innocent visitor to believe that all the ordinary amenities of life were plentiful here. after his original supplies became exhausted, he would begin to wonder

how they do it.

A man would primarily be interested in shaving equipment. Pre-

suming that he has his own razor, he will find shaving soap short, but obtainable from his own druggist. Like every other item that is short, druggists supply their own steady customers first and seldom have any left over for casuals. But razor blades are doled out like gold. They are being manufactured on the basis of one every three weeks. |: Hence everyone has some method of resharpening his old blades. : Women’s cosmetics are more difficult to obtain every week. The pres-

ent small assortment of i Red Cross or the Y. W. C. A.

and powder puffs are the last be had here until the end of the war, while the manufacture of powder has been again cut. One lipstick yearly is now being provided. Mirrors, tweezers and manicure sets have entirely. disappeared while nail files are few and bad. Old jewelry can still be bought. for high prices, but no new has been made for some time, Costume -jewelry has practically vanished and only very narrow plain gold wedding rings are sold.

Sock Situation

On the practical side of life, paper face tissues disappeared two years ago and women began substituting face cloths for removing the decreased supply of cold cream. No face cloths have been made or have been discoverable Tor more than a year. Now old towels are replacing wornout face cloths,, In parts of England where the atmosphere matches Pittsburgh's, the lack of cold cream presents a problem, where additionally, the water is extremely hard. It is estimated that by the middle of this year women will have one medium-sized jars of cold cream every six months.

The stocking situation here 1is|

worse than in the United States. Silk is rarely obtainable anywhere, while there never have been nylons. Rayons are slightly less good than in America and worse fitsin< ing. A pair of silk stockings costs three coupons (the total supply is 60 coupons for 14 months) and rayon two coupons. Many women. are wearing slacks and socks in order to save stockings, but there are fewer +| stockingless among the fair sex than ‘might be expected. | There are other men’s items going or gone. The manufacture of neckties has been Stopped. ‘No hair oil, cream or lotion is to be had
