The grind, suitable for any type coffee-maker, is of the same fineness as “regular.” It is not intended for use as a beverage in itself. When brewed alone it is almost entirely lacking in aroma and flavor, although it has plenty of body and color. Added to coffee, it picks up in the process of brewing the natural flavor from the ground coffee beans. Two recipes on the package provide for extending coffee 50 to

Even Foundry Jobs Are Done By Women

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK

right, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times Copy ie The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

LONDON, March 18—In 1940, British industry was called upon to make an all-out effort. New factories were built and old ones extended. One young foundryman was taken from the army and asked to convert an old brass foundry into a modern steel foundry. He has done it with the aid of the workers, 70 per cent of whom are women. Most foundrymen would tell you the work is too heavy for women. Visiting this foundry on my recent tour of British cities, I found it one of the most interesting experiments I had seen. It claims to be the only foundry in the world where the core shop (where cores of castings ‘are molded) is entirely manned by women. Unlike most British foundries which mold, this one has traveling belts from which sand is dropped onto molding tables so the girls don’t have to shovel sand or lose time going back and forth to get material.

Women Welders

From the core shop, belts take trays of cores to electric revolving ovens from which the girls fit them into position in forms. A roller conveyor slides them along for the molten steel to be poured. An 18-year-old girl maneuvered a high overhead crane skilfully from the blast furnace, with a huge ladle, to the conveyor belt where*the few men . employed poured the -molten steel. Further along, girls were dumping and knocking out hot castings, while at the end of the line, girl welders were cutting castings away from waste metal. Grinding and oxyacetylene welding is all done by women. Many of these jobs are unique in the women’s field but the girl crane driver’s is probably as unusual as any.

Paid Men’s Wages

The lives of all the workers in that area of the foundry depend on her skill, One inch too far and molten steel would fall on the workers. A steel burn is the nastiest thing there is and usually causes death. Steel is poured at a tempera-' ture of 1700 degrees. These girls work five days one week and six the next, a minimum of 57 hours, but there is usually overtime. Their basic pay: without overtime is about $14 a week, the same as that of men. The foundry is noisy, dirty and hard work. But the women there seemed to get the same satisfaction

Beauty— Lipstick Refill Thrift Item

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer IF YOU REALLY are in earnest about keeping up your appearance with wartime efficiency and economy, don’t overlook the continued : story of lipstick.

And when those little squares of paper are swapped for the cobbler’s handiwork, it will be a good idea to cherish the purchase as a rich uncle would be cherished. There are three planks in the “long life for shoes” platform. 1. Shine ‘em up.. 2. Put ’em on frees.... 3. Give ‘em a rest....

: Et 4 » s : IF SHOES ARE to be kept good looking, they must be kept clean, and that means frequent and regular application of polish. Now that a lot of shoe shine boys ~aren’t around anymore, the wearer probably will have to wield his own polishing cléth Get a shoe polishing kit, or a small wooden box to hold the cleaning equipment, and keep it in a handy spot. There are three kinds of polish for smooth leathers: Self-shining liguid wax, which dries to a sheen but not -a shine; cream polish (white or neutral in color), which is considered an excellent presert ative, and the paste type which contains a higher percentage of wax for a high gloss. For smooth, colored leathers, such as calf, a good bet is saddle soap. Use a small sponge or rag, dampened but not sopping wet. Work up a lather, scrub the shoe thoroughly, rinse the sponge or cloth and remove the saddle soap and dirt fromthe shoe. Follow with wax polish if desired. For a professional-looking shine, use an old wool sock. u EJ 2 FOR SUEDES, a firm but flexible brush used in a circular motion is considered the best method of treatment. The use of a wire brush is not advised. And the cleaner, of course, should be one designed especially for the suede finish, Reversed calf or other roughtextured white shoes should be brushed, thepgtreated with whiting. : Patent leather shoes should not be polished because that cracks and dulls them. They may be cleaned with a slightly dampened rag and mild soap. Don’t forget the heels and sole edges, either, Small bottles of sole-edge dressing with felt pad applicators may be bought for a dime. Remove stubborn grease or dirt spots with the same dry cleaner used for dresses. One method suggested for removing grease spots from light-colored smooth leathers is to dampen the edges

When buying tie shoes, get an extra pair of laces. Youll need them if you're going to wear Sour shoes twice as long. Heavy-duty shoes for outdoor work, factory wear or victory gardening need lots of greasing to make them proof against moisture and mud. Spread warmed grease on with a soft cloth, then rub «in thoroughly with the palm - of the hand. Good. greases for this are neat’s-foot oil, castor oil, cod oil, tallow, wool grease or mixtures of these. Be sure to buy shoes that fit correctly. If they don’t fit, they can provide you with'a prize assortment of corns, calluses and bunions—and the shoes themselves will wear out rapidly.

ing. Wet shoes should be removed as soon as possible and the dampness and dirt wiped off. They should stand from 12 to 24 hours at room temperature— never near a radiator or artificial heat. If the leather is sturdy, oil it while it is still slightly damp. Castor oil will do and it doesn’t interfere with polishing. Shoes should be kept in‘a dry closet because leather is susceptible to mold which makes it fragile as well as produces unsightly spots. .Because it is a skin, leather is

oils for flexibility. Water washes out the oil and excessive heat dries it up. Those are the reasons for using oil, oil polishes and saddle soap which, unlike ordinary soaps, does not remove the natural oil from the leather. : = 8 ”

SHOES SHOULD HAVE two days of rest after each day of wear. The two-day vacation gives them time to resume their shape, prevents too much wear on their linings and gives them a chance to recover from perspiration damage. If rationing caught you without a trio of daytime shoes, there is a new idea in footwear which makes one pair of shoes do the work of six. Removable insoles stamped with different days of the week, from Monday through Saturday, may be inserted in the shoes, giv-

ing a fresh and sanitary effect. On Sundays, the shoes are worn with their own insoles. But almost every closet will yield a pair or two of shoes that, with ‘a good cleaning or a re-

DEAR JANE JORDAN - — 1 obtained a divorce after a three-year marriage this winter. I was separated from my husband almost a year before I sued for divorce. I was hurt and disillusioned over it all and was pretty bitter toward life in general. I got a job in a defense factory and there found someone I could love. I tried to fight it at first, but I found myself very happy. It was so good to have someone to love and someone who cared for me. A week: ago the man confessed to me that he was living in the same house with his wife, but that they were complete strangers to each other. He owns property and has a child. His wife said that if he sued for a divorce she would take both. He doesn’t feel that she has earned any part of the property and therefore refuses to-give it up. He tells me he loves me and wants me to stick until something happens. What should I do? Stick and hope that things will break our way, or take a chance on another heart, break? He is 30 and I am 23. WORRIED.

Answer—What you should ‘do pends on the man’s attitude. his hate for his wife is than his love for you, you're in a miserable time and would well lo withdraw from the sit tion. H 1 is ue that the man's caught in an impossible situation’

but still she is the mother of his child and as such has some nes If he really wants to be free he must be willing to pay for his freedom in the terms dictated by an impartial court. 3 cA If he does not do this wi we only can conclude that he lives with his wife’ to deprive her of her share in the worldly goods with which he erndowed her at the time of his marriage. In this case it rather indicates that his association with another woman is part of his program of revenge. Such an attitude does not give you much to count on. JANE JORDAN;
