i © By BETTY MacDONALD
WASHINGTON, June 2~The new WPB women’s and children’s clothing order revision does not attempt to dictate styles to designers, but is rather a conservation measure which is aimed to produce more clothes out of a limited yardage on hand. Changes are not so radical that style of existing wardrobes will be affected
plicity is always modish, WPB experts believe. Watch for more and more ‘streamlined furniture, once WPB and manufacturers decide on conservation details. Now on the fire are simplification of juvenile furniture, case goods, office desks and

You Can't Pool Gas Coupons For Vacation Trip, OPA Rules
Vacation motorists who want to pool their gasoline coupons so they can ‘travel together in one auto cannot do so under present OPA regulations, local officials advised today. Motorists making vacation plans brought up the question of saving their ‘A coupons and .pooling them with friends, but it is illegal to transfer coupons issued for one auto to a different car. OPA regional heads in Cleveland,
however, have announced they will be glad to recommend to Washing-

ton any feasible plan for vacation driving which would not increase the total consumption of gasoline and which would be fair for all motorists. If restrictions are relaxed to allow A book holders to save coupons beyond the expiration date, this would be unfair to B and C holders, who ‘are allowed only 90 miles a month for non-essential driving. A book holders can use their 240 miles a month for any kind of driving, and so would get more gasoline

There is an enormous amount of work connected with the mailing, and it’s done with a minimum of confusion. Here is the process: 1. Applications are sorted in the mailing room, set up like a small postoffice by postal officials. There isa pigson=hole for each city in the state. 2. applications next are inspected at long tables to see whether they have been filled out correctly. 3. Next the ration books are folded, and placed in numerical sequence in work-boxes holding 100. Then they are put into the “book-bank,” rows of shelves where work-boxes* are stacked and each book accounted for. 4. From here they are taken to the writing room, where production crews of 18 volunteers and one supervisor place the names on them. 5. Then the hooks are rechecked against the applications, and are mailed. In a filing room, an index is kept of each person receiving the book, and the number of the book assigned to him.

'Ringing' in Ear May Call For Attention of Doctor
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
Ringing noises in the ear are
associated with or following numerous disturbances.
common and annoying symptoms Any irritation in
or about the ear or the nerves connecting the ear and the brain may
produce the ringing sound.
Some causes of it.are serious, difficult to explain, and require professional care. For example, ringing may be involved with chronic deafness.
A characteristic of one cause of the latter is an increased density _of the bone Suftounding 4 the ear. The pulsation 19 of the blood in
the arteries
passing through this bone sets i up a sound wave capable of being con- 7% ducted through the thickened = bone and being heard as a throbbing .or hissing noise. Frequently, however, the explanation of the sound is obvious. The presence of wax in the outside canal pressing on the eardrum produces a creaking noise. Water lodged in the canal following s ing or a shampoo may produce a similar obscure fluttering sound. Sudden changes in atmospheric pressure, such as landing in an airplane or coming down too
Dr. Masters
. quickly in an elevator, alter the
pressure * within the middle ear, and this action also is interpreted as sound. Most of us are familiar with these experiences. This ringing of the ears is caused by the fact that the eustachian tube which connects the throat with the middle ear may serve as a passage for infection to reagh the ear, or may become swollen and prevent the passage of air into the ear—thus prducing abnormal air pressure. If the trouble comes from un-
| equal air pressure, several simple
measures often give relief: yawning, or stretching the mouth wide open, vigorously chewing gum, or swallowing while holding the nose will tend to open the eustachian tube and permit equalization of the pressure within the ear. Because the symptom of ringing in the ears may be “due to high blood presure or serious organic disease, if it continues unduly or is not relieved by these elementary means, a doctor should be consulted.

and dreamlike. The attendants told me afterward that my eyes were bulging and with the arrival of each baby, my only word was ‘Gosh’ with ascending inflection.” Gray-haired and sturdy, Dr. Dafoe remained a quiet, unassuming man through all the homage that was showered on him. Dr. Dafoe turned down every opportunity to profit’ commercially from his association with the quintuplets, including positions in famous clinics all over the world. In December, 1934, he was persuaded to leave for the first time in 26 years the isolated community to whose medical needs he ministered, and he made a trip to the United States during which he delivered a lecture at New York's Carnegie hall, describing the first six months of the quints’ lives.
Of Dutch Ancestry
After receiving many honors while in the United States, Dr. Dafoe returned home and was seldom in .the public eye until his resignation as the Dionne children’s physician, which was announced by Premier Mitchell Hepburn in February, 1942, Hepburn said“ Dafoe’s position “has been made almost impossible by reason of the fact that the children are not allowed to speak English.” Dr. Dafoe traced his family history back to his Dutch DeVos ancestors -who arrived in the new world as immigrants in 16568. His father also was a doctor. Born on May 29, 1883, Dr. Dafoe was educated at the Madoc public schools and Toronto uhiversity. As soon as the ink was dry on his medical diplomg he headed for the lumber camps in northern Ontario. He remained in these camps for a short time, then one day he happened to hike to Callender. He decided to establish his practice there and on Jan, 2, 1909, he began serving the small community. His wife died in 1926 during an epidemic. Dr. Dafoe was decorated with the Order of the British Empire by the late King George V on June 4, 1935.

Victory Gardening—
CONSTANT GARE IS NEGESSARY
Hard . Early Season Work Makes Later Part
once a week to Keep down weeds.
(This is the first in a series of three articles on garden care prepared by experts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is suggested that you clip each installment and save it for future use.)
When your victory garden has become well established, the important problem is how to take care of it properly. None wants to share his garden with greedy weeds. Providing the good care needed by a successful garden is an allseason job, if you're faithful during the first part of the season, the work of the latter part will be much lighter. During the early stages, the crops probably will need working aboui
The plant food you have added in the form of fertilizer should go to nourish the food crops, not the weeds. So should the moisture. Weeds draw heavily on both, and also shade out the vegetables. Your plants cannot produce good crops if they have to fight a constant battle with weeds for food, water and sunlight. The best remedy for weeds is a hoe in the hands of a gardener who wants his plants to have good care and a fair chance to produce food. Here are some pointers on how to use your hoe:
How to Use Hoe
As soon as the garden is dry enough after a rain, break the crust to prevent baking as well as to destroy weeds. Don’t do this while the ground is wet or the soil will be lumpy ahd harder than ever. When you start to work with the hoe, remember that a weed, no matter where it may be in your garden plot, is using plant food and moisture your vegetables shouid have for vigorous growth. If you dig too deeply when .you cultivate, there is danger of damaging vegetable roots near the surface. You can turn out small weeds with a hoe very easily and still do only shallow digging. If there are weeds so close to the plants you can’t reach them safelyfwith tools, pull them out by hand.
Weeds May Take Root
Experienced gardeners seldom leave pulled weeds, even small ones, lying where they fall because they've learned the weeds may take root and ‘start all over again. Careful gardeners gather them up to throw on the compost pile. Many successful gardeners recommend mulching with dry lawn clippings or straw to help keep down weeds. Mulching has other advantages. It helps to hold moisture in the ground. It helps keep tomatoes and cucumbers clean and protects them from damage by soil-borne rots.
Don’t Be Careless
The gardener who is careful to keep weeds away .from his vegetables will not have as much trouble with insects and disease as the careless gardener. Weeds give these destructive agents a home and nourishment, This outside support greatly increases their chances to become established for their work of destroying your own food plants. Do not work among your plants when they are wet from dew or rain, If disease should be present, spraying the water around may also help to spread the disease.

WASHINGTON, June 2 (U. P.).— The government today began rationing canned milk in an effort. to conserve supplies for babies, sick persons and workers unable to obtain fresh milk. The new restrictions apply to both evaporated milk, to which sugar has not been added, and condensed milk, which contains sugar. The office of price administration acted upon recommendation of War Food Administrator Chester Davis
when it became apparent that the

1943 production of canned mile would be 25 per cent below the 1943 output of 70,000,000 cases. Diversion of milk to other uses and heavy military demands were blamed for the slump. OPA officials were confident tha the basic needs of the nation could be met. The order fixed the ration value of evaporated and condensed millg at one point per pound, with cone sumers using red stamps from rae tion book: No. 2 to make the pure chase. .
WASHINGTON, June 2 (U. P.),.— If your tailor offers to put a cuff on the next pair of pants you buy, don’t get the idea that he is evading the law. ' The war production board says that, effective today, it’s all right for him to put a “simulated” cuff on the pants if you're a man of average height. That means the tailor has three inches to turn up —enough to fake a cuff. ¢ If youre a man of less than average height, there’ll be more
