War-Time Living Wartime Soaps Lacking Imported Perfumed Oils
By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 2.—Because the manpower shortage has hit the laundry and dry cleaning businesses throughout the country, causing many small cleaning establishments to shut down, some industry members have now started an unofficial rationing system
among their customers, As a conservation measure certain non-essential items have been dropped from laundry lists for the duration.
Soap Oils Scarce
Only a connoisseur of old, prewar soaps will be able to tell that manufacturers are now no longer using imported perfumed oils in their products. Instead, American in-

genuity has turned to synthetic oils with chemical bases. Meanwhile, industry men are reporting a growing scarcity in the essential animal and vegetable oils used in soap manufacture, aside from perfumed oils which are also necessary.
War has hit the traveling peddler, with issuance of the latest office of defense transportation ruling allowing a peddler to take his truck out only once daily to one sales location of his selection, and transact his busines from that spot only. . . . petizers and desserts, railroad meals are now being served at dol-lars-and-cents maximum prices, with breakfasts at a top ceiling of 85 cents, luncheons at $1, dinners at $1.10,
COUNTY SEEKING OFFICE BUILDING
Former Fidelity Trust Co. Quarters Sought for Juvenile Court.
Preliminary negotiations toward the proposed purchase of an eightIstory office building at 148 E. Market st. to house juvenile court and welfare agencies have been started by county commissioners, it was learned today. The building was formerly occupied and operated by the Fidelity Trust Co. which recently moved to larger quarters across the street. County commissioners have indicated that the building could be converted to county use without much additional expense. According to preliminary plans, the first floor offices would be leased to a private firm, the second and third floors used to house the county welfare department, the fourth floor would be used for juvenile court and the sixth, seventh and eighth floors could be used for the juvenile detention ward. It was reported that the Fidelity Trust Co. is asking $225,000 for the structure. Commissioners said that, by leasing the first floor for $1000 a month, that the building would pay for itself in 12 years, counting the

In a move to settle the dust on city streets as well as the nerves

Your Health Knowing First
accidents have a way of happening
is lacking, and how to improvise on material at hand until medical care is available, is valuable information which too few persons bother to acquire. Certain groups like the Boy Scouts and the Red Cross have, since {7 a8 - the outbreak of war, given some j invaluable training in meeting accident emergencies. But there are still § many people not § § yet conscious of
the need to know first aid. After the ma- "
jor premise of Dr. Masters keeping the victim warm is taken care of, the think to do next is to distinguish between a compound and a simple fracture as clearly as possible, and to apply a splint to any fracture of a major extremity, simple or compound, before attempting to move the victim, Quiet Necessary
The victim should be kept quiet and motionless during the hunt for a suitable splint. A fence rail, signpost, branch of a tree, broom, rake, rifle or golf club are all usable and ingenious solutions to the problem. If the weather conditions are bad, it may save time to forego a splint and bind
TWO WHITE RIVER BEACHES MAY OPEN
White river swimming enthusijasts may get a break over the holi(days if plans to reopen two municipal beaches materialize. Park Superintendent Lloyd Pottenger said today that resumption of swimming by July 4 at 26th st. and Belmont beaches was awaiting results of health department contamination tests. Raw sewage that previously had been diverted into White river by a Broad Ripplz sewer break has been blocked off by recent repairs, he added. Both beaches were closed last month after pollution of the stream was deemed a health menace,

Aid Vital
Since in places least suited to quick and
one leg to the other or the arm to the body. Ideally, the splint should be
light and strong, and long enough to extend beyond the joints both above and below the site of the fracture. If the arm is broken, the splint should reach from the shoulder to the fingertips, if the leg, from the hip to the heel. The splint had better be too long than too short. A coat can be used to bandage. A folded hat can be used as parlding to ease the pressure when the splint is tightened. Neckties can be utilized to strap and ankle or wrist to the splint. Garters and suspenders may give additional support. Only after the splint is secure, should the patient be moved. The splint should be lifted—never the injured limb —and when the victim is seated in a car, the foot, for example, should hang free, supported by the splint.
Spinal Injury
Spinal injuries are especially difficult to deal with. The spinal cord must be protected, and it is essential to avoid bending the trunk. Simplicity of treatment and the minimum of handling are the rule here. A flat, broad support on which to lay the victim is necessary before he is to be moved.
A board, a shutter, a door, or some other flat object of nearly body length or longer should be found. Keeping the body's position flat is easiest when the body is slid rather than lifted onto the support, and treated as one piece, with all the members in line. If no rigid support is available, the victim may have a blanket roll unrolled gradually beneath him, while his head, trunk and extremities remain in line, Once on the blanket, he must be supported at the level of shoulders and the middle of the thighs. In the event of a neck fracture, the head also must be supported. If no blanket can be found, two coats may be tied together by two sleeves, or by running two poles through opposite sleeves, the coats placed tail to tail, and buttoned down the middle, thus forming a feasible stretcher.

THE MAN'S STORE . . . IS SENDING OUT SCADS OF SPORTS SHIRTS
It is getting to be quite well established—that Sports or Leisure wear made with a clothing mind—and from a Man's Store approach—has something special—something plus— in the way of comfort, in the way of fit—in the way of general, deep down satisfaction.
On Sports Shirts for instance—you'll note it in the set of the sleeves—and in the fit of the collar—in the clean workmanship —in the finish—in the details—and there is no premium to pay—for these better shirts.
Note Especially—The Sports Shirts of
¥ COTTON GABARDINES at 2.50 ¥ The TECA BLENDS (Rayon) at $3 and $4 “ The AMERICAN GROSGRAINS (Rayon) 3.50 “ The RAYON CHAMBRAYS, marvelously cool at $4 ¥ And the CONGO CLOTHS rayon and cotton $4 » (Others up to 7.50)
These are a brief hint—there is a very large company—and it's nice to have plenty of them around.
