Mrs. America Meets
The War
With the familiar tag, "100 percent
wool," getting scarcer, have you
been wondering how you would
know just what you were getting
when buying new garments? The
answer is that all woolen goods of
fered for sale must be labeled as to
the amount and kind of wool and
other fiber used. A recent WPB
order limiting civilian use of new
wool for all woolen articles, tends
to stretch our decreased wartime
supplies by increasing the amount
available for blending with other
fibers. However, in blending, the
least amount of wool permitted is
20 percent and the maximum is .65
percent. Technical experts of the
OPA Consumer division say that the
20 percent minimum assures us that
blended fabrics will be warm en
ough. .
If you see a new dress with a set
of copper or copper-plated buttons,
don't think there has been a viola
tion of the WPB order. Of course,
copper has been banned for the man
ufacture of costume jewelry since
May. However, some costume jew
elry accessories and buttons already
made up were frozen in hands of
dress manufacturers. Since these
stocks aren't particularly suitable for
any other purpose, the materials al
ready fabricated have been released
and they can be used as ornaments
for dresses. ,
Apartment dwellers without an
overabundance of space often cot
around the guest room problem by
letting Aunt Minnie sleep on the
studio couch in the living room
However, after November 1, studio
couches and sofa beds containing
iron and steel cannot be made. The
same WPB order which dealt this
death blow also prohibits the pro
duction of mattresses using iron or
steel in innerspring construction af
ter September 1.
With factories turning out fewer
rugs and carpets, the care of those
in Mrs. America' home is a wartime
must. Consider that in one 9 x 12
rug there is enough jute to make

You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your
life."

32 sand baks for use in trench war
fare, and, of course, there aren't
many shipments of jute from India
these days. A 9 x 12 rug also con
tains enough wool to make seven
pairs of army trousers, and the wool,
you know, that goes into floor cov
erings comes from Australia, China
and South America. To help pro
long the life of a rug, never beat or
shake it, and it is a good idea to
place carefully arranged newspaper,
mats or padding under it.
And on the topic of giving extra
care to some of the household ar
ticles made carce by the war, don't
delay in having necessary repairs
made to your vacuum cleaner. Con
sult a reliable repair man. And here
are some pointers offered by the
OPA Consumer division for the care
of this household valuable: Clean
and oil the motor regularly, if the
manufacturer's directions say so.
Don't put off emptying the dust bag.
It's better to vdo so after using the
vacuum, and occasionally do a more
thorough job by turning the bag it
self inside out and cleaning with a
brush. And here's one of the best
lessons in conservation. Don't leave
the motor running when you aren't
actually using the vacuum. Remem
ber to turn it off when you answer
the doorbell or the telephone be
cause you may be kept longer than
you expect.
If you've been wondering about
the availability of replacement parts
in the event that anything were to
go wrong with your furnace this
winter, relax. Although the WPB has
prohibited the use of iron or steel
in excess of certain specified quotas
for furnaces, there are no restric
tions placed on the manufacture of
replacement parts.
Even the wooden clothespin has
found its way into a price regula
tion. Darning eggs also were brought
under a price ceiling in the regula
tion which covers many wood pro
ducts made by turning or shaping
lumber to a pattern on a cutting
machine.
Waste fats are needed because
grease makes glycerine and glycer-
me makes gun powder.

Vegetable. Storage
Tips Given by Prof
A least 15 vegetables commonly
grown in Oregon are suitable for
storage in the fresh state, thereby
prolonging the supply of fresh pro
duce through the fall and winter
months, points out A. G. B. Bouquet,
vegetable crops specialist at Oregon
State college.
In one of the series of food-for-victory
leaflets issued by the exten
sion service Professor Bouquet de
scribes methods of storing beets,
carrots, parsnips, salsify, turnips,
rutabagas, cabbage, celery, onions,
peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, squash,
tomatoes, and dried beans and peas.
With probably more produce pro
duced in victory gardens this year
than has been grown by the ordin
ary farmer or city dweller in dec
ades, a considerable surplus of some
of these vegetables is sure to re
main at tne end ot the growing
season in many gardens. Here on
the west coast especially, market
gardening has been seriously dis
rupted by the removal of Jap gar-,
deners, hence the family that stores
its own vegetables will be far more
certain of having a fresh supply
through the winter than those who
depend on the market.
One of the first essentials in suc
cessful storage is to choose only
sound vegetables that are free
from serious blemishes or injuries
and then to handle them carefully
while they are being placed in stor
age, says Professor Bouquet. The
leaflet, which may be had free at
any extension office, describes both
bin and pit storage and gives many
hints on avoiding spoilage.
