Buy "Toe Room'— DO NOT DICTATE your shoe size to the salesman. Sizes vary from store to store, from season to season, depending on the style, the maker and the material. Also, your foot size varies. Have the salesman measure your foot carefully. Give ‘your foot toe room in the shoe. It should extend a full

Heel Heights— HEEL FIT IS most important. Be. sure it fits snugly, not just at the top but at the bottom as well.
'|A much-walked-in shoe should
have heels from three-quarters of an inch to an inch and a half in height. High heels throw the weight. of the body forward, intensifying foot ills and upsetting the body’s natural balance. There's a beneficial wartime trend to lower heels, but if you're a high-heeler, don’t switch too abruptly. Get a medium heel that permits a gradual transition and allows calf muscles to adjust. Never buy shoes that need altera#Stretching” can’t make a

Times Special ST. LOUIS, March 25.—Two part-time mothers equal one fulltime ‘mother PLUS two full-time war factory workers for: Uncle
That's the tricky mathematical formula worked out by Mrs. Roger Pahmeyer and Mrs. George Borgeson.t6 enable them to go into war work—and still give their three children all the advantages of a normal home life after their husbands went into military service. Their solution of the problem may help other homemakers answer the call for women workers to ease the manpower shortage. . First, the two mothers moved ‘their families into one house. Then they got jobs, in different shifts, at the U. S. Cartridge Co., which operates the St. Louis Ordnance Plant, the nation’s largest machine gun and rifle ammunition producer. 7 On their “home front,” the women work in monthly shifts.
Mrs. George Borgeson is plotured (above) ‘on Her night shift job as “part-time” mother for her children and the daughter of Mrs. Roger Pahmeyer, fellow war worker. She’s reading to Mary Pahmeyer and Donnie and Joan Borgeson. In the daytime, Mrs. Borgeson goes ¢ off to the factory, Reoving Men Pabineyss on he hose rast Drak : fast shift.” At right, Mrs. Pahmeyer Saerying « out the first order of the day—“Wash behind your ears, children.”
One month, Mrs. Pahmeyer has the “breakfast shift,” while Mrs. Borgeson takes the “supper shift.” The next month, ey Teverse the procedure. The month that Mrs. Palmer is at home mornings, she gets the breakfasts, dresses the three youngsters, aged 4, 7 and 7, sends them off to kindergarten and to school and spends the day taking care ‘of the house. At the car-
tridge factory, she works the 4 _
p. m. to midnight shift and, as it takes an hour to reach the plant, she leaves the children with a helper at 3 ‘o'clock, affer ‘they return from school. The factory time clock is the mothers’ meeting place, where they frequently exchange Hurried
instructions about the children.
Mrs. Borgeson, who works the 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. shift, is usually checking out as her friend is checking in. ‘She reaches home at 5 o'clock, just in time for supper. After feeding the youngsters, she puis them to bed and has the rest of the evening to herself.

out their “at home” schedule for six months in advance. “Our plan works out fine,” they say. “The children like the arrangement, we think that living with other children teaches them how to get along with others. and to respect the wishes of those with whom they are in daily contact. In addition to saving money by doubling up our homes we also cut our housework in half, We think many women who are ‘tied down’ by children, can use our scheme to free themselves for a man’s size job in war production.”

The inauguration of a three-year program for A. B. degree candidates at Vassar college was explained this week by Henry: Noble MacCracken, Indianapdlis students. The plan will enable members of the three lower classes now at the college, as well as freshmen entering next September, to complete the course in the shorter time.

Appel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick G. Appel, 4019 N. Illinois st., and Miss Margaret Stevenson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Stevenson, 5701 N. Pennsylvania st., both sophomores, also will be able to graduate sooner. The college year, ineliiding Christmas and spring vacations, will run from Sept. 1 to July 1.

LELAND STOWE, the war correspondent, is now on an inter-urban jaunt beating his breast before lecture ‘audiences -about the willpower shortage in America. He doesn’t exactly spare the men, but when he compares his owr. SouniTywome. with those of Russia he suffers mental anguish: | because the ladies ® of the U. S.

The men have spoilec us until we are. no good at winning a global war. Piffle and bosh!: Mr. Stowe should leave the mink-coat set anc get off the pavements for a change.

Everyone craned necks to see Mr. Gibson.
