English Firm Makes Children's 'ldeal Sock'
LONDON, Aug. 26-—After three years’ research a famous English firm of knitwear manufacturers has evolved the “ideal sock” for children. It is a three-quarter hose made in wool and cotton, with high spliced heel and full fashfoned. Heel, toe and the whole of the sole are nylon spliced, but the toe is speclally rounded to give complete freedom to toes. The new product has been tested and approved by panels of foot-health experts, housewives and others in various parts of Britain.

Urges Funds to Set Up More USO Centers Abroad
By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT HYDE PARK, Aug. 26—It is difficult for us, who
are not accustomed to thinking of our men as being scattered overseas in peace time, to realize the need that now exists for the United Defense Fund to establish new
USO services in overseas communities. The Army and Navy always carry on recreational services on their posts for: men g in their services, but In World War II it became necessary for
other services to be provided in various com-
munities where our men went on leave. It is much easier not to get ginto trouble if you know there is a place to go where you are welcome and where you will find a friendly atmosphere and recreation provided for you. With young men now stationed in various areas, it has become evident that something was particularly needed to help
bring about closer and friendlier relationships between Amerfcan servicemen and the resi-
dents of the communities near which they are situated. n tJ »
A NEW PHASE of the USO service is just being set up in Europe and North Africa. John Pixley, formerly deputy director of youth and community activities on the staff of the

The program will be organized in at least five key centers in addition to the places where units are already functioning, such as Athens, Istanbul, Heidelberg, Nice and Rome. Emphasis will be placed on bringing American GIs in contact with the best moral and social forces of the community in which they are stationed. Wherever possible, native residents will be asked to serve on the USO committee with American residents and people representing USO agencies overseas. The first objective will be to provide a varied, off-post recreation program, using local facilities and developing the co-operation of local communities. The committee will be invaluable in recommending the
type of activity that should be |
undertaken.
» » AN EFFORT will be made to recruit volunteers in each area to help out in information centers, to organize sight-seeing tours and to take charge of snack bars, If this can be done, it may be one way of promoting understanding and friendship between the people of our country and the people of different countries where our boys are stationed. These GIs, sons and husbands and brothers of ours, are ambassadors to people all over the world. In themselves they stand for democracy, and what they are and what they do comes to exemplify what the U. 8. stands for in the minds of the people whom they meet throughout the world. » " » THEY MAY well be doing one of the best jobs that can be done for peace by meeting and coming to understand the people of other nations. We, in the U. 8. have almost forgotten the USO might be used in peace as well as in wartime. We will have to remember this organization is dependent on voluntary contributions. It is a member of the United Defense Fund and this fund in many communities is supported by the Community Chest or by some other community campaign. When it is being talked
about in our community, we must remember that its support is vital to our men in foreign lands.

Legion Auxiliary Set To Install Grandma As New President
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 26—A certain grandmother with a fresh hairdo and more orchids than she can count could be considered the envy of all candidates for office this
election year. Mrs. Eve Ashton has no opposition for office of national
president of the American Legion Auxiliary. She'll be installed officially Thursday with the unanimous approval of one million women. She has a campaign manager, but not a single campaign promise. You might say she's paying off favors, but in a way no investigating committee. could criticize. Friends who drop by her hotel suité here leave with a tiny jar of honey and a ceramic dinosaur. “The girls in the auxiliary at home made the dinosaurs — a thousand of them,” Mrs. Ashton said proudly. Home is Vernal,
Utah, where Mrs. Ashton’s hus-
band, who died a year ago, owned a department store now run by the new auxiliary president and her two sons.
" = »
MRS. ASHTON was wearing two golden orchids on the shoulder of her black crepe dress when she was interviewed. An orchid lei from the Hawaijan Auxiliary Department and two white orchids from Utah's governor and his wife were stored in the hotel refrigerator.
A little questioning, however, revealed that getting to be the unopposed president of one million women was not all flowers and honey. “I started with auxiliary work in 1924,” Mrs. Ashton recalled. “I was head of all the committees of my unit, then state and finally national vice president in 19486.”
THAT WAS the year the Utah Department of the American Legion started indorsing Mrs. Ashton as presidential material. Two years ago she had a strong hint that she would be approved as president for 195253. An old friend, Mrs. H. C. McShane of Salt Lake City, became her official campaign manager. Mrs. Ashton freely admits her career-is an example of that much-cartooned character—the American club woman. “Have I been teased by my family because I'm a club woman?” she asked, and called her two sons, Stewart and Ralph, both World War II veterans, into the room. “How about it, boys?” she said with a smile.
" ® "
“WE HAVEN'T seen enough of her in the last few years to
Mrs. Eve Ashton Ralph sald and
tease her,” grinned. “We've been trying to make an appointmgnt with her ever since we got to New York,” added Stewart. “I stayed with my boys when they were little,” Mrs. Ashton said, taking her sons’ kidding good naturedly. “Now they're grown, so it doesn’t matter, This year they really won't see me much . .. I'm going to Alaska, Hawaii, Panama, Puerto Rico and all of the 48 states.”
Powder Adds Nylon Beauty
For 50 per cént more beauty visibility through misty-sheer stockings, powder—yes, powder—your legs. And for more come-hither, dust on a rich, rosy shade of powder, as the movie stars do. In order to make powder cling, use a hand lotion on legs which have, of course, been made smooth by safety razor or depilatory. The foundation of hand lotion must be rubbed on until it's almost dry before applying powder. After powdering, buff the surplus with one of your extra velours puffs. To make dust fly, put your hand through the tab that a puff provides for that. purpose and Yeally b-u-f-f.
