New Household Uses Are Discovered
“For Mother's
Bottle of Nail Polish
THE SERVICE MEN who discovered that colorless nail polish was
ideal for preserving the shine of their metal buttons and insignia) i:
apparently have made a major contribution toward the conservation
program
* Now their mothers are using nail polish to cover silver candlesticks,
metal ash trays and other household objets d'art to prevent tarnish. |: mother—and sister— i already knew the value of the: polish as a quick run-stopper for 1 hosiery, but now they are using it:
THIS COLUMN IS meant as friendly counsel for foreign parents who have found refuge in this
_ country for themselves and children, ~ Most Americans are sympathetic
toward their problems of adjustment to the customs of a new country, their difficulties with a new language, their struggles for economic security. Many foreign parents who are succeeding with these major problems of uprooting, are
failing with an equally important ‘problem, namely, their relationship
with their adolescent children. From various letters which I have ‘on hand, I gather that foreign children find it harder to get along with their parents in America than in the homeland. 3 “These children tell me that in the old country the parent occupied a place of complete supremacy over the children. Here, young people are allowed more freedom. As one young girl put it, “There, the parent is everything and the children are nothing. Here, it is different.” These parents feel free to collect and use the entire earnings of children over 18 instead of simply deducting nominal board as an American parent would do. Foreign children who accepted the confiscation of their wages in countries where it was a custom, deeply resent it in America where the majority of children are not subjected
® 8 #
THE CHILDREN tell me that the money is the least part of their trouble with parents. They are not allowed to make friends with American children without a similar background of home training. These American children with their ideas about freedom are regarded as subversive, a dangerous influence in the lives of the: newcomers. Foreign children can’t keep late hours or go about unchaperoned. In other words, they can’t do what the group does and hence are miserable because they -are deprived of young companionship. Complete passive submission is expected of them. These parents are unconscious of any wrong done “their children. They are convinced that they are right and have no desire to change their attitude. Many of the fathers have occupied positions of importance in the homeland. They were business and professional men, reduced to inconsequential jobs at low pay in their new home. The only position of power left to them consists of their jurisdiction over children, and as they see
"even that slipping away, they are
yiolent in their determination to
maintain their rule.
In tomorrow's column I will try to show how these parents are unwittingly hindering their children
- from progressing in their jobs, and
make a plea that they try to adjust to new world ideas about children
~with which they are confronted for the first time.

Stockings Join The Colors
Stockings have joined the colors. Every woman is delighted to contribute the family’s worn silk, nyjon and rayon hosiery to the government for gun powder bags and
other war supplies. But there’s one
thing more she can do for the sake of all those co-operating in the
salvage program.
Though the stockings may be torn and shabby, they should be so clean
- when she turns them in that no one will hesitate to handle them. Wash-
ing in luke warm soapsuds, followed by rinsing and drying, is a good way to practice the golden rule as well as to do a patriotic deed.
Of course,
cn metal compacts, clips, metal fasteners on bags, costume jewelry and ear-rings—where it not only
metal from marking the skin. Other new uses reported include the painting of switch plates, door knobs and knockers to protect them from finger m ing of desk edg keep splinters from catching stockings. One polish manutacturer, inof uses for his product, began a roundup of those uses in addition to the function of adding to nail beauty.

For Shoes, Too =
HE FOUND THAT thes polish was being used to protect first-aid bandages — as on fingers — from grime and raveling. And that it was being painted over automobile stamps before washing the car window. It can also be used to cover the dark part of bi-colored shoes before cleansing the white part—to keep whitener from getting into the grain of the leather. It even pops up in the medicine cabinet where it is painted over bottle labels so that spills won't cause ink to run. It lengthens the life of rubber typewriter keys, the strings of tennis rackets and fishing tackle. . Still. another ingenious use has been discovered by sewing experts. They paint their fingertips with several coats of polish as a protection from needle pricks. 8 8 =
Salvage Note —
IF YOU HAPPEN to have around the house any of those vacuumpacked jars with metal tops used for: all decaffeinated coffee and some other brands, you have a treasure that should be guarded with care. To meet war needs, a cardboard cap has been ‘invented to take the place of the familiar metal one on these vacuum-pack jars; and, although the cardboard is nearly perfect for unopened vacuum-pack products, it doesn’t compare with metal as a reclosure. But if. you save the metal caps you have on hand, you can use them on the wartime vacuum-packed jars which will have only paper caps. And, py your forethought, you can make sure of keeping both decaffeinated and other coffee fresher much longer. Lars : 8 r

Drive to Enroll
Home Nurses Is Under Way
As its part of the national movement to release trained nurses for service with the armed forces, the Indianapolis chapter of the American Red Cross this month is conducting a campaign to increase enrollments in home nursing classes. Miss Eva MacDougall, director of the home nursing service for the chapter, explains that the “classes not only teach the student how to keep herseif and her family well, so there will be no need to-call a doctor, but how to deal with sickness when it does strike, The student learns when to call a doctor and how best -to help him after he arrives. . 24 to 30-Hour Course Classes are taught by a Red Cross trained nurse instructor and the course lasts from 24 to 30- hours, with classes meeting generally once each week, Women completing the work receive a certificate in home nursing. In issuing the call for enrollees, Miss MacDougall cited the experiences of students who have taken the course. One of the instructors reported that two of her students dropped out of class soon after the lesson on -symptoms of disease. They both had gone for medical examinations as a result of the lesson and both later had operations for cancerous growths.
Campaign Goal
One of the students completing the course said, “It is a definite opportunity now in wartime to take advantage of these classes that hold so much of value for peacetime too. . . . We all know certain things about home nursing, but this course shows you how to do them all better, in the most approved medical and scientific way.” Another student, according to Miss MacDougall, expressed particular appreciation of lessons on prevention municable diseases, now t the city faces a shortage of d rs and nurses, in the event of a serious epidemic. The goal of the enlistment campaign is one home nurse for every family, Miss MacDougall points out. Women wishing to organize classes may obtain information by calling her at Red Cross headquarters.
