WPB Standardization Order Wrings Out Mop Problem

By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 4 —You will need a physician's preseription, WPG announces, to purchase one of the few new baby scales which will be manufactured in limited numbers. New baby scales haven't been on the market for the past six months, after production was curtailed by the government. From Sheets to Raincoats The government may take over a few larger sheet and pillowcase factories for a short time, although civilians are assured there's no sheet shortage. The army needs more raincoats and the sheet factories can turn out rubberized material for this need. As soon as the shortage has been remedied, the factories will go back to sheets and pillowcases.

Shoe Situation

What shoe manufacturers are looking for now is an ersatz ersatz. They figured they could beat the sole leather problem by using a prepared heavy cotton cordage and linseed oil sole. Now these two products are as scarce and valuable as leather and plans to manufacture ersatz soles are hitting priority snags. gS 4

Mopping Up on Mops

The amazing discovery that there are about 1000 different types of mops on the market has led WPB to simplify this household standby. with co-operation from the mop manufacturers. The war model mop will have a shorter handle, less yarn, possibly a plastic frame. Colored mops may be out for the duration.

Although asbestos is now in the war effort in safety clothing for factories and battlefields, the housewife is assured of plentiful supply of asbestos table and stove-top mats. These are made from a shorter asbestos fiber imported in quantities from Canada. Potholders made from asbestos-treated textiles may he scarcer as the war goes on,

PROGRAM SCOPE

WMC to Have Most Features of National Service Act This Week-End.

WASHINGTON, May 4 (U. P).— The war manpower commission will have all features of a national servjce act, except for drafting of labor, in operation by this week-end.

Through regional employment stabilization agreements it will be restricting all transfers within essential activities, regardless of the wage question involved. The scope of the regional agreements, now covering all but a handful of states which will be brought under controls in the next few days, was revealed by War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt at his press conference late yesterday.

Plan Was Dropped

Previously he had been preparing a nation-wide employment stabilization order which would have accomplished the same goal as the regional plans, effective reduction of labor turnover. But this plan was dropped, according to authoritative sources, when it became apparent that the projected program would be extralegal by attempting to control through administrative order all transfers in essential activities

Hand Lotion Provides Ivy-Poison Immunity |

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS

Victory gardens and skin irritations such as poison ivy walk hand in hand this spring and summer. Poison ivy is the chief offender, but is only one among a number of plants such as celery, tomato, sunflower, orange, chrysanthemums, primrose—and countless others, too numerous to list. There are, indeed, few skins that are not sensitive to some such substance, or are at least capable of becoming sensitized upon prolonged or repreated contact with” it. Poison ivy is Heras tne most widely preva- a ™ lent and readily | recognized of the Ict. ] The skin eruption caused | by poison ivy usually appears at the site of | contact with § the plant, and is often identi- | fiable as such. a3 The essential Dr. Masters oleoresin secreted by the ivy may also contaminate clothing and. other objects. which may serve as secondary sources of infection or points of contact. The first manifestation in the skin is one of redness and then swelling. Small blisters promtly develop on the red base, and these are accompanied by sensations of itching and burning. After several days, the small blisters break, and the fluid that exudes dries and forms a crust. Usually, the attack lasts from one to three weeks. Occasionally, naw areas appear and prolong the course. When the there may be

recognize the three-ragged-leaf character of the plant in order that if exposure does take place, the irritating material may be quickly and carefully washed off the skin before it has time to start trouble. A thorough washing with soap and water can accomplish a good deal in the way of prevention, but real protection may be achieved in advance of exposure by applying to the exposed skin an application of 10 per cent sodium perborate in a base of vanishing cream. After such an application, the leaves of the poison ivy may be handled with impunity, and farmers, gardeners and others who must come in contact with the plant should find this procedure very helpful. After the eruption has once developed there is no really miraculous cure available. The best results are obtained by wise selection of agents capable of drying the irritated skin—one of the best | of these being potassium per- | manganate. Once the blisters have disappeared, a grease may be used to soften the skin, but the chemical irritant of poison ivy is soluble in oil, and the premature use of ointments may spread the eruption, Opinion still varies as to the efficacy of taking the extracts of poison ivy by injection or by

whether the worker was to get the same, or lower wages. The only legislated authority for controlling transfers comes from the stabilization act of Oct. 2, 1942, which permits the executive branch of the government to peg wages. Under this authority, President Roosevelt directed McNutt to restrict workers from getting higher wages through transfers unless the change would aid prosecution of the war,

Mrs. Mae Spaulding, a worker at the U. S. Rubber Co, since 1928, was back on the job today and working harder than ever. She said she was feeling “grand” since her trip to New York city over the week-end when she received the WPB award of merit for outstanding war work. The mother of Cpl.

The Women Are Making Planes

WASHINGTON, May 4 (U. P)). —Women are taking over the production of aircraft. War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt said yesterday that aircraft industry figures show that about one-third of the aircraft workers are women and 70 to 80 per cent of the new workers now being hired by many plants are women. He expects that at least 50 per cent of the aircraft workers will be women by the end of the year. Conversion from manpower to womanpower is more predominant on the West coast where the proportion of women work=rs is about 45 per cent. The Middle Western plants employ about 33 per cent women, while the Eastern sea board plants have about 26 per cent.
