Sees Danger In the Food Situation

By MRS, WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer THE PRESENT FOOD situation is not only dangerous to the war effort but to peace plans. We've been told already that the success of our campaign in’ North Atrios depends largely upon giving food to the natives. Also, as several pegple have pointed out recently, Europe, on Armistice dgy, probably will not consist of nations, but will be a con--tinent overrun with millions of hungry desperate people. There will be only ‘one way to deal with such misery: Feed the starving. Before anything else is done dn the matter of building a permanent peace structure, it will be necessary to send tremendous amounts of goods to the hordes of the suffering, who will be thinking not of pQlitics but of bread. ® = = WORSE STILL, food shortages at home will not increase our desire to give such aid. I don’t expect Americans to sprout wings. Solong as we had plenty we have always been ready to share with others, but how would our citizens react to appeals if they, themselves, faced want? Not many weeks ago, in response fo a statement in this column about food rationing, there was a loud outcry. Men and women publicly declared their eagerness to share their rationed food with pet dogs. The time may come when they can act upon those noble words, and I'm sure most of them are confident of their strength to do so. Our intentions are good, but in the matter of hunger we have never been put to the test. A poll of county agents shows that decreases in production are to be expected, even if -the season is normal, Unless Washington grasps the size and urgency of this problem, and

plans soon to do something more

effective about it, the peace may be lost—and if that happens, the war

effort becomes only futility.

" Only the “sweet and young” can gracefully wear the “Junior Miss” type of dress shown above. It’s navy and white checked taffeta, with built-in ruffles from . shoulder to waist. 8 ” ” ; By MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Special Writer NEW YORK, March 16.—A new fashion type—Ilet’s call it “Junior Madam”—is emerging on the fashion scene, and it behoaqves every little woman to whip out her tape measure and style sense and see if she’s it. “Junior Miss” has long meant

girlish, Other times’ they are

quite suitable for the ‘mature

both “called “Junior Miss One

BUT THE OTHER, a slim belge : suit with navy braid and white

dickey, is an ageless costume that

~~ would grace a woman of junior

proportions, even if she were the sophisticated type. This suit is a ‘eue for the new Junior Madam who doesn’t want to look as if she were trying to seem younger, but

- who does’ want simplicity at a

price. * You'll be hearing more of such - clothes this spring. The world of fashion is sitting up and taking - notice, for their popularity . is booming. But before you go' planning a wardrobe of these clothes, youd better get the size angle straight. Naturally they are not the same -sizes as the so-called misses’ and women’s models, The outstand-. ing difference is that Junior Miss clothes are shorter-waisted, are designed for short figures and run from size 9 to 17, instead of from 10 to 18. Not every Junior Miss dress will have exactly the same dimensions. You might compare your measurements with the size chart of a

. leading maker ‘of Junior Miss

clothes. Here, size 9 is made for a girl or woman of 5 feet 4 inches tall; with a 33%-inch bust, 24%-inch waist, and 35-inch hips, measured 9 inches below the waist. The length from front of neck to waist is 12 inches; from back of neck to waist, 16 inches. : At the other end of the size range is the 17—made for Miss or Mrs. Five-Feet-Six-Inches. She

‘Equal Rights’ Amendment

Opposed

Times Special WASHINGTON, March 16.—The National League of Women Voters this week prepared to ask “a lot of questions” on the proposed “equal rights” amendment to the federal constitution. ; At the same time the league reaffirmed its opposition to the amendment on the grounds that it would be the ‘greatest single step toward centralization of government control ever. taken,” and that it. would cause great confusion and further burden already overburdened courts. The league also pointed out that “everything the amendment attempts to do can be done by state action.” Long opposed to this “blanket” approach to removing legal discriminations against women, the league has issued a broadside, “Look Twice at the ‘Equal Rights’ Amendment.” “The real discrimination against

sults from custom and prejudice, not from laws. A constitutional amendment won't change these attitudes. It could aggravate them.”
