MORE THINGS ARE BEING MADE out of trees today than ever “hung on the traditional Christmas evergreen. Wood is not only playing a vital role in the war effort but is also serving as a substitute for innumerable consumer products formerly made out of scarce metals or other priority materials. All of which reflects the fact that timber is a growing crop covering

DEAR JANE JORDAN.—I am the proud mother of six children. I y soon will be married for 19 years and nearly every day has been miserable. As you might know my husband drinks and when he drinks he curses, even threatens my life. I ' do not smoke or swear, do not go to dances ‘or taverns. I hate drunks.

‘X am a great lover of home. I love

my children and my husband when he is sober. 3 If my husband gets in a full week he makes $45 and gives me $30 to pay rent, groceries, coal and all of our expenses. He drinks up and wastes the other $15. I do from six to eight laundries a week and keep two children in the evening for parents who work. I have put up with this all these years to keep the children together. My girls are nervous wrecks. When their dad speaks to them after he has been drinking they act like gcared rats. They worry over the way he talks to me. I am 37 years old and he is 40. He is nice looking and would pass for 30. When he is broke and sober there is no one better. If you can help me in any way please let me know. HEARTBROKEN MOTHER. ” » ” Answer—There is nothing you can do for a drinker until he himself gets tired of drinking and wants to quit. Even then a habit of such long standing cannot be broken by a simple act of the will but requires a prolonged effort on the part of the drinker, often with aid from an expert. . You have not indicated that your husband is dissatisfied with the situation. On the contrary he - seems to derive a great deal of satisfaction from drinking and is _Anot moved by the misery it causes "to others. ‘ If you leave, he may go from bad to worse and you will be minus the $30 he pays toward the support of . the home. Therefore the only thing 4 have to suggest is that you simply accept the situation and learn how to get along with the man when he is drinking. It is like an illness over which he has no control and it is folly for you to expect rational behavior from him when drink has made him irrational. You must have learned by now what upsets him most when he is full, Try to let him alone and keep “the children out of his path as much as possibile. This is an unhappy way of life for you and the children but I do not know of any way to cure the man against his will, or any way in which you can live without his financial help until the children are old enough to get jobs. JANE JORDAN.

Paper Drapes . . .

AN EXAMPLE IN this latter category are the new paper drapes and curtains now on the market. These cost less than a dollar a pair and are obtainable in a wide range of colors. . They hang beautifully — any wrinkles ‘vanishing without even the chore of ironing—-and the colors are sunfast and waterfast. From an economy standpoint, they are most practical as they give many months of service and prove an effective substitute for easily soiled curtains of cotton or wool or silk during dusty summer months when windows are open. # o

And Blankets . . .

ANOTHER SIMILAR product utilizing the cellulose fibers which make up a major portion of a tree is the new paper blanket. It consists of a fluffy cellulose fibre filler] between two sheets of soft but tough and noiseless paper, all bound with cotton cloth. These sell for a little more than three dollars a pair and each blanket measures about seventy by eighty inches. At such a reasonable figure, it’s almost better to throw away your paper blankets each summer than have them cleaned and stored.

“Substitutes” is a familiar word to this year’s wartime bride. She’s showered with confetti instead of rice and old shoes; her ring is of palladium rather than platinum, which has been frozen; rayon substitutes for pure silk satin and bouquets of local blooms replace those of now-scarce orange blossoms. So in the spirit of 1943 this bride chooses a simple shower bouquet and headdress of pale yellow and white sweetpeas, which carry out the two-toned effect of her ' gold and palladium wedding and engagement rings. The gown of warm white rayon satin has a yoke of triple sheer net joined to the satin

wounded men returned from the fighting fronts, and an increasing number of overseas assignments, are depleting the number of nurses in the reserve pool, according to reports of the American Red Cross, the official recruiting agency for the army nurse corps. The nursing profession has estimated that one out of every four nurses in the nation will be needed by some branch of the armed forces by the end of this year. With the growth of the army nurse corps to keep pace with that of the army, additional courses in military orientation and physical conditioning are being established throughout the nine service commands for nurse corps units. The courses generally require four weeks of class room application and drill ground calisthenics at the time the nurses enter the induction centers for enrollment in the corps. Various adaptions of this plan are used in the smaller centers or very busy stations. For overseas units, actual bivouac experience is sometimes set up to accustom the nurse to working under the tent conditions
