OPA Regulations on Rayon Hose Become Effective April 15
GOOD NEWS FOR Won is the new OPA regulation, to take ~ effect April 15, setting dollars-and-cents prices on rayon hosiery and quality, because for the durattion rayons are going to be
standardizing stocking standbys.
‘Women complained about the first “replacement” rayon stockings put on the market last year when nylon went into war production. Some
rayons tore at a touch. Others were shiny. Most of them.stretched and wrinkled. Then the, hosiery industry began to point the way toward improvements. It is possible. now to buy rayon hosiery which offers a measure of serviceability and attrgctiveness of appearance unavailable
in 1041, ”
Minimum Standards—
AS THE NEXT step, taken to make the greatest use of supplies of rayon, OPA established minimum ‘standards in its new price regula.tion. These standards mean that there will be fewer low quality stockings—a fact of major interest to women. ~The OPA regulation will result in the appearance on the counters of longer-wearing stockings with ceiling prices for each quality grade. The new price ceilings will range from a maximum of $1.43 to a low of 71 cents for continuous-filament, full-fashioned rayon in grade A, and from a maximum of 57 cents for grade A first quality seamless to a lew of 28 cents for this type. on » ”
Salt for Cleansing—
TO CLEAN a rubber nursing bottle nipple, fill with salt and let water trickle into it. As the water washes over the nipple, rub the outside with fingers; outside and inside will be cleaned. Rinse. Salt cuts the mucin deposit; cleanses

Radiator metallic paints are scarce, but white and light-tinted finishes actually transmit more heat than do bronze and aluminum, even when the light paint is applied over the metallic one. Using white, maroon gloss or terra cotta enamel, you can have a warmer and bright-er-looking room.
‘Bring Your Own’ Hair pins and bobby pins are especially scarce in defense areas. Some hair dressers insist that customers bring their own.

DEAR JANE JORDAN--I have been married seven years and am
month. Our married life has run smoothly, but there always has been something missing, and that is affection. My husband told me that he just didn’t like it, which seemed unusual to me, as he liked it at first. He has admitted that many times he wanted to love me, but said something seemed to be missing, but he doesn’t know what it is.
Now he has a job that takes him out of town every other day. He has met a young woman whose husband
is out of town a lot. My husband told me that he didn’t know how it all happened, but he became attracted to her and had been giving her his love. He said it all had piled up inside of him and he felt as if she was the one. Should I consent to a divorce if he thinks his happiness is with her? He said he would stay and support me until two months after my baby is born. I know that my son will miss him very much but I am afraid my life will be miserable’ if I try to force him to live with me. Your comments will be appreciated. WONDERING. # ” » Answer—Of course you can’t force the man to live with you but you can insist upon support for yourself and the children. This is only fair to you, to the children and to the man himself who cannot be benefitted by failing in his responsibilities. In the meantime 1 wouldn't have too much faith in his professed love for a married woman. Some men are so afraid of women that they cannot love them wholeheartedly for fear of giving any one woman too much power over them. Your husband admits that he had the impulse to love you but held back because something was missing. My guess is that what was missing was inside himself. He couldn't let go or give himself up to his feeling. You may think this a poor guess because he has fallen in love at last with a married woman, but may I point out that he is adequately protected from giving himself up completely because of his marriage to you, his coming child, and the woman’s tie to her husband. * With these barriers to insure his safety from terrifying possession, he can express his affection. He has an ‘excuse to back out at any time that panic overtakes him. That is why I advise you not to take it too seriously. He may not be able to go through with it after all, The man needs help. Stand by him for a while. You aren’t ready to. face life alone for the present, and he needs time,
JANE JORDAN.

NEW YORK, March 20.—Here
home, a comfortable apartment, at pupils, Mrs. Milton J. Bach, Mrs. Ernest Tiefenthal, Mrs. Samuel Liebmann and Mrs. Jesse. Hirschman, were being initiated. into the mysteries of concocting Bechamel Roularde, veal stew and cheese cake today. The tantalizing fragrance of the baking cake filled the apartment. “I am amazed when I see the success of this work,” Mrs. Schlesinger admitted as she whisked the cake” out of the oven under her pupils’ watchful eyes. “I didn’t plan anything. It just happened.” She ran a knife. between the cake and the pan. “I “suppose it dates back to the first world war in Vienna when we had to make something out of nothing.” Then she and her husband and daughter lived in a big house. Her family owned hosiery mills, Mr. Schlesinger was the head of a lumber company. There was plenty of money but little food. Women were selling their jewels for butter, eggs; meat and fresh vegetables. The farmers all owned ‘diamonds.
“WE BOUGHT A farm outside Vienna,” Mrs. Schlesinger went on after showing her pupils how to sear meat. “That was when I learned to value food. There was no transportation. My husband and I walked to and from that farm with what vegetables we could grow. All our servants had gone to war. All that is, except my old cook.” She smiled. “I went. into the kitchen myself. We cooked food not only for ourselves but to give to our friends. When Hitler came the same thing happened again. Only this time my friends were ashamed to say they didn’t know how to cook.” It was then she developed the method of teaching she uses today. “First I would ask my friends to help my cook and myself make the dishes,” she explained. “Then I would go over the recipe with them. In that way they got the practice first and the theory after.”
THE YEAR AFTER Hitler's men marched into Austria Mrs. Schlesinger and her husband escaped with little else but the clothes on their backs. Their daughter was already in America. “The one thing I brought with me to America were these,” said Mrs. Schlesinger, lifting a pile of

He does the marketing—1I hold my salon in my kitchen, I feel as if I were living in a second incarnation. It isn't a bad one.”

Take a hint from pioneer days and prepare such old favorites as baked beans, scalloped potatoes and chowders than can be kept continuously hot in the oven or on top|. of the range. Choose desserts, too, that will keep well without refrigeration, as simple gingerbreads, cakes and pies. Then use what refrigeration facilities you have for chilling a raw vegetable salad or coleslaw,

Careless washing of silver, glasses and cups is the easiest way in the world to spread colds and the occasional mouth infection that turns up in any group. Use plenty of hot, soapy water. Rinse "with scalding water and then drain in a clean place to remove the need for towels.

Among rest center workers, the London county council has solved the problem of keeping up continual training without engendering boredom by forming the “London Rest Center Players.”
. Use Mobile Stage
The rest centers are organized to deal immediately with victims of a blitz. People rendered homeless go to the centers for a bed, advice, clothing, or: perhaps just & cup of tea. The “Players” recently put on- a series of five-minute playlets to illustrate this work. The workers have found that this is the best method for teaching the staffs what, exactly, has to be prepared for. Besides this, the playlets have the additional advantage of serving as refresher courses. Using a mobile stage built at the London rest center, the shows tour other rest centers regularly, playing to small audiences of civil defense workers. A question period follows. Scripts are written by the workers themselves from their own experiences, with little stage direction, and the props are the actual equipment used after blitzes. Ernest Brown, minister of health, present at a special introduction of the playlets recently, commented: “There are now 250,000 volunteers available to staff 22,000 rest centers standing ready and equipped to provide shelter, food, clothing and advice for some 2,500,000 ‘homeless people.”
