her home fort against the invading enemy until she drops in her tracks.

For this much is true—the other woman doesn’t want her man half as much as she wants her position as his wife. He is merely the means of acquiring something dear to most of us—the status ‘of the married woman, - It is her place as mistress of a home that the neglected wife must defend. If the marriage has gone

on long enough, she is a real part-

From a strictly business angle a wife should not give up her position or her possessions merely because her husband thinks he’s in love with another woman. Given a little time he usually changes his mind about that, too.

Rug saving tips: Upper left—Put a rug cushion under the rug to

save it from worn spots due to

foot pressure on an uneven floor. .

Upper right—Small areas of rug, crushed by furniture or feet, can be brought back by hot iron and damp cloth. Center—Some areas of

rug, like corner between two busy

doors (a) get undue wear. To help

wear evenly all round, occasionally reverse rug, hiding worn spot

(a) with furniture.

Lower left—Cut stair carpet longer than needed, so it can be shifted down when parts on treads begin to show wear. '

Lower right—Never shake small rugs by snapping them like this—it

A RUG, THE JUNE BRIDE who is furnishing her home for .the first time will find, is a big investment. But, as wives: who have celebrated their silver weddings can confirm, no matter how good a rug may be to begin with, if proper precautions aren't taken to lay it properly, clean it well and insure it against too much wear in. one spot, its life will be cut considerably. Here are a few things everyone ought to know about rugs: When laying a rug, especially if floors are rough or uneven, put a pad underneath to prevent friction

and shock. . ” ” 8

Keep Them Clean

NEVER ALLOW dust and grit to become imbedded in the pile, for it will eventually cut the fibers. And, besides, the grease and tar content’ of these particles cause; discoloration. It is important to vacuum rugs which receive a lot of use every day, and others twice a week at least. ns ; A rug receives much rhore wear at the entrance of a room and in front of a favorite chair. So, each time furniture is switched around the room, reverse the rug too. And if carpeting already shows wear and tear in certain spots, use scatter rugs to protect them from further usage. 8 ” 8

Don't Shake Them

WHERE SMALL areas have been crushed by furniture, pile can be brought back to normal by applying a hot iron on a damp cloth. Brush the pile briskly, then repeat if the crushing is excessive. Never, never shake small rugs by

gripping them at one end and snapping the other, for this may break the yarns in the back and cause the pile to loosen and come out. In cleaning a rug with a broom, always sweep with the lay of the nap, not against it.” Absorbent powders are recommended by experts for cleaning rugs at home. Soap solutions, they say, are to be avoided because of slow drying, which may cause mildew,.and the deposit of residual fats which tend to collect dust rapidly. Ammonia solutions shouldn't be used at all, as they may change the colors.

Woman Doctor Guards Health Of WAAC:

By ROSETTE HARGROVE Times Special Writer LONDON, June 18.—The health

' |and general well-being of American

WAACS in England is the No. 1 job of Dr. Marion C. Loiseaux, the first, and so far, the only woman physi-

1cian serving with the U. S. armed

forces abroad. She is busy now preparing the groundwork for general medical service for the women soldiers. : “Our WAACs will have to get accustomed to a great many differences in their general scheme of living and working, but there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be able to take them all in their strifle,” she says confidently. + As a “contract surgeon” attached to the office .of Chief Surgeon Col. Elliot C. Cutler, Dr. Loiseaux has been able to acquire a very good idea of conditions in. England, as she has been here since June, 1941.

" ‘Lend-Lease’ Doctor

She was one of 12 women doctors who volunteered to come over on a lend-lease arrangement to relieve overtaxed medical personnel here. Having worked in both London and the provinces, she believes her experienced will be of tremendous

Since her appointment last December, Dr. Loiseaux has been visiting establishments connected with England’s three women’s services, the WAAFs, the WRENS and the ATS, inspecting working, living and recreational conditions in all kinds of posts with a special eye on medical facilities and problems. WAACs will find, she says, that in British hospitals, “patients don’t get as much, but, on the other hand, they don’t expect as much” as the average American does.

Cornell Graduate

So far .as our WAACs are concerned, she feels that provision for [adequate quarters will have to be made, not implying anything luxurious, as the girls themselves would not expect it. :

But, as they will have to/make

‘| England their home for perhaps

many months, they'll need billets that will supply a modicum of the American woman’s idea of comfort if they are to be kept healthy and happy. Outside of getting them acclimated to British weather vagaries, Dr. Loiseaux has no qualms about maintaining a good standard of health among the WAACSs, especially if they are fed as well as are the boys of the AEF. Dr. Loiseaux is a graduate of Cornell’s School of Medicine and a former assistant physician at Wellesley. She was also on Col. Cutler's staff when he was surgeon-in-chief at the Peter Bent Brigham ‘hospital in Boston.

Or, wear one of the new knitted figure-molding models.

Cinch Club Session

Mrs. Lucy Dailey will be hostess Thursday for a 1 p. m. meeting of Ye Olde Tyme Cinch club at Ft. Friendly.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am the unhappiest teen age girl in the world. The cause of my unhappiness is the trouble between my mother and father. They just don't get along at all. It is nearly all my father’s fault for he is a heavy drinker and mistreats us more than ever when he is drunk. My parents have thought of divorce but that is impossible for where would we live, and how would we make enough money to live on?

I also have -other problems but not nearly so great as the first. We live two miles out of the city limits and I have no way of going to the show or other places like young people want to’ do, unless my father takes me and brings me home. He .doesn’t like to do this at all. I have had only three dates in my entire 16 years. If I only had a boy friend I would be so much happier. There is only one way to meet young people and that is by going to places where they go, school dances for example, but my father disapproves. I've gone to only one school dance and not one boy asked me to dance. I just don't have the influence to be popular although I am not bad looking. I have a nice personality when I'm happy, but I'm dull most of the time because of my unhappiness. I also make poor grades in school because I'm always worried. Is there anything in this world that I can do to find just a little happiness? UNHAPPY. ” ” o Answer—You are 16 years old and you can get a job in town this summer. If you can't get back and forth to the country, try to find a place in town as a mother’s helper where you can live in the house with the family. You could make

some arrangement to spend your

time ‘off at home in the country. In this way you would be earning some money which you could save for the future. You may feel that you are dee serting your mother by so doing, but in the long run you would be helping her by earning money and saving it. You can't solve her problems for her for she is grown up and more able to cope with it than you are. When you're home try to keep out of your father’s way and do not stir him up if you can avoid it. Some time spent away from home in useful employment will make you more able to handle home conditions when you are there. ’ There are several organizations in town which will help you find a place. If you will send me your address I will tell you where to go. A job is the only answer to your problem at present. That would give you something interesting to do and throw you into contact with other young people. You must try to put your parent's problem out of your mind since there is nothing you can do

about ‘it, and concentrate on estab-

lishing a life of your own. JANE JORDAN.

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan who will answer your questions in this column daily.

Still other Phillips Jionesting processes, alkylation, HF alkylation, and cycloversion itted the production of 100-plus octane aviation gasoline, a significant contribution to extra airplane horsepower.

Phillips was one of the first, and remains one of the largest manufacturers of high octane aviation fuels: Thus we see how the peacetime study and work of Phillips scientists is of grea value in our all-out war on the is. Similarly, when victory comes; today’s accelerated Phillips wartime research program should bring to the American motorist new and greater gasolines for his post-war car.
