Mrs. America
Meets the War
New regulations of the War Pro
duction Board covering the manu
facture of women's full fashioned
rayon stockings are expected to re
sult in increased quality, even of
sheer stockings. The WPB conser
vation order, which goes into effect
on May 15, restricts each manfac
turer of women's rayon hosiery to
seven basic colors for each six
months period, and no more than
five of the basic colors can be used
in any one style. However, WPB
pointed out that most hosiery man
ufacturers already had been vol
untarily limiting their range of
colors to this number or less. Inci
dentally, ths dollars and cents price
ceiling on i ayon hosiery wil not go
into effect until May 15.
" And speaking of hose the WPB
conservation program also extends
to men's and children's socks. Fan
cy patterns are restricted for men's
socks with seven basic colors al
lowed. Likewise, there is a limit to
fancy or novelty patterns for chil
dren's socks. The color range for
boys and girls socks used to total
about 30, but now they will be lim
ited to seven basic colors for each
manufacturer. But there's no re
striction to the use of colored yarns
in decorative stripes, designs and
figures. No anklets can be made
with cuffs turned down or folded
more than once.
With thoughts of home canning
beginning to predominate in "things
to do in the future" calendars of
American women, the WPB re
minded housewives of a new clos
ure for canning jars on the market
in quantity in America for the first
time this year. It's "a steel-saving
glass-top which will fit any stand
ard home canning jar, and also all
commercial pack screw top jars
with the same mouth size. It is a
simple three-part unit a tough
heat-resistant glass lid, rubber jar
ring, and steel screw band that
looks like a screw cover with its
center top cut out.
Those protective transparent
wrappings which cover lamp shades
will be out. A WPB order prolubits
the use of transparent wrappings
glassine, greaseproof and vegetable
parchments for non-ossehtial uses
and lump shades and playing cards
are included in this classification.
It's expected that the order will
save at least 10,000 tons of these
papers each year.
Mileage rationing and overcrowd
ed trains mean that Mrs. Amriea's
family will probably be seeing more
of their own backyard during this
wartime vacation season than be
fore. And they may see slightly dif
ferent yard and porch furniture for
iron, steel and rattan are neeied
in war production. So noncritical
domestic woods and wood-pulp pro
cessed to basket texture are re
placements. For example, gliders
will be avalable but minus steel
frames with wood substituting for
both frames and springs. Porch
chair cushions are said to be quite
comfortable even if they are no
longer filled with steel coils.
From Maine to California, Mrs.
America is stepping into a large
variety of occupations in the inter
city bus industry and helping to
meet critical manpower shortages,
the Office of Defense Transporta
tion reported. Women are assisting
in keeping busses rolling by work
ing as ticket sellers, information
clerks, car washers, shop helpers,
gasoline pump operators. Two com
panies one in Maine and the other
in California have reported a to
tal of 223 women bus drivers. Of
this number 220 are employed as
long distance drivers. And Mrs.
America is working on the railroad
to keep the wheels of transporta
tion revolving. In January, 63,187
women were engaged in 74 types
of jobs on class one railroads. These
included women working as gang
laborers, section hands and even as
road passenger brakemen and flag
men. .
Getting down to the meat of the
bone question, Mrs. America will be
charged one point per pound for
