Mrs. America Meets the War More than 150,000 powder bags for Uncle Sam's heavy caliiber guns were provided by Mrs. America's contribution of used silk and nyuon stockings in the second month's salvage collection. And besides, thy 232,158 pounds of discarded stock ings provided materials for para chutes and other vital war products. So far during the two months' col lection of worn silk and nylon hose, American , women have contributed about 7,5000,000 pairs of stockings which they can no long.tr use. Meantime, the drive is continuiing, and contributions of discarded silk and nylon hose, all washed, may be left at collection centers at the re tail stocking counters. And the rayon stockings which now Jplaee silk and sylon should be regarded with great care for they are made of vital materials, too. Beginning on March 1, less rayon yarn will be available to manufac turers of hosiery and other civilian products. War plants will be al lotted more rayon yarn for use in tires, as "flarachues" and cargo parachutes. A new WPB order re sulted in a cut to 85 percent of the amount of rayon yarn which for merly was made available for ci vilian purposes. Incidentally, it is expbcted that hosiery construction will be simplified, and there may be a further restriction on the use of colors. he point system of rationing as it will be operated in the United States will give Mrs. America a wide range of choice in shoppiing. For example, she may use her points at any store sKL wishes just as she has always purchaed family food. But her British sister must do all her shopping at one store where she is registered. This method is used in England bLcause so much food in that country is imported and is owned by the state. Thus, it is apportioned to each store according to the number of customers. Keep a weather eye out for the care of hose irreplaceable metal gutters, rainspouts, window case ments and other metal trim on your house. The conservation divisioin of the WPB advises homemakers that a good quality mLtal primer, fol lowed by a finish coat, should pre vent rust and corrosiion to those valuable house accessories. Mrs. America War Worker will wear her hat high, stiff and of a generous head size whononthejob not so much for style as for safety. These three features charactrrize a safety cap which should be worn when thL job requires it, according to the United States Women's bu reau. The height of the cap acts as a warning to the worker if her head gets dangerously close to ma chinery, and if the material is stiff it will not catch. If the headsize is generous t will be thrown off if it strkes a machne part No quiniine is available at your corner drug store those days ex cept for treatment of malaria. The reason is there is a desperate short age of quinine due to the lack of cinchona bark, th esource, which conies from he East Incs. The shortage is so acute that your drug gist is being asked to contribute all surplus quinine or opened pack ages to a national quiniine pool. This material will be used by the army and navy for tho protectiion of armed forces in the tropical areas where there is great need for quinine to fight malaria. Variety may be the spice of ilL, buit simplificatiion is the vogue during wartime, even for King Cot ton. And looms which turn out cot ton for war use are not weaving unlimited quantities of civilian goods. This means less vaifLty of dress fabdics, but cotton serves both civilian and oldiiers. Besides clothing, it is being used for para chute, harnesses, rubber boats, tar paulns, tents, shell tajAJs and as a base for laminated plastic instru ment panels. .And he res assurance of warm lounging robes for every member of your family. The WPB has lift ed its lfestrictioins against the use of any wool in the manufacture of bathrobes, house coats, negligees, lounging robes and pajamas. Junior now has a good argument for the purchase of a bicycle. For the ratiioning provisions allow bi cycles for the usl) of pupils as a means of going to and from school.
