PAGE 2 - THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1942

Young and old, rich and poor, are dropping their dimes into handy quart milk bottles these days as the nationwide Mile 'O Dimes drive gets under way. This pretty little contributor to the President's Birthday Fund for infantile paralysis victims was pictured cheerfully giving her dime as the drive began in New York City. Several thousand streamlined milk bottles for collecting dimes in all parts of the country were contributed by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. Bottles bore the greeting "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."

Pretty Margaret Landry, co-ed and official "Sweater Girl" of 1942, chooses to wear hats wherever she goes-has as many hats as she has sweaters. Her favorite costume is a beige tissue-knit sweater, beige skirt and easy-to-wear red felt beret stitched in blue Dobbs hat.

Newest in waste baskets is the decoware "kitchen catch-all," pictured above, which holds 26 quarts. It's an asset to the housewife for everyday use or in emergencies. The young housewife is pictured throwing away empty glass containers along with other rubbish.

STRAIGHT FROM NEW YORK | PEG-TOP PRINT

STRAIGHT FROM NEW YORK PEG-TOP PRINT To look smart and pretty at all times is a big contribution to morale and it can be done at below-budget prices if you choose wisely. Witness this printed jersey New York creation with newest style accent-the peg-top skirt, achieved through pleated pockets. The yoke is distinguished by fine accordion pleats.

In the Women's World

Touch of white with an all-black ensemble is the way Madaline ("Miss Blue") Lee of Columbia network's "Amos 'n' Andy" series perks up her winter wardrobe. Making her own hats is the actress' hobby, and this big black felt with a velvet cuff was designed and blocked by her.

Hat and gloves to match is one of the fashion features for Spring, 1942. CBS actress Esther Ralston of the "Woman of Courage" series wears an ensemble of lime yellow and bright green jersey to brighten up her late winter wardrobe. The hat is a combination bonnet turban and stocking cap. Notice how the gloves-one of lime and one of matching green-tie up with the hat. (John Frederics Ensemble.)

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN The social problem gives one a distressing prescience in time of war-and especially so, since it concerns our men in uniform. War always inspires a greater exercise in prostitution, and thus makes for a greater increase in venereal diseases. On this disparaging situation, Dr. Thomas Parran, U. S. Surgeon General, recently said: "The Federal Security Administrator authorizes me to say that complete agreement has been reached between him and the Secretary of the Navy regarding an accentuation of measures which are to be taken to deal with vice conditions." Notwithstanding this statement, the social problem has much more meaning to us, the mothers of men in the service; it goes much further than the curbing of vice conditions. The real menace is the lack of right contacts and the lack of suitable entertainments in the camps. For when men are given the recreations they require, they are less likely to become the prey of these vice conditions-whether such conditions exist or not. To prove this, let me give you a few lines of a letter which a drafted mother received from her son. "At our post," he writes, "where there are about 15,000 men and the nearby town has less than 7,000 in population, it is difficult to get the right contacts and recreation. As a result, a soldier, because he gets fed up, resorts to the 'honkytonk' dance halls for amusement. Here, at least, he can dance and try to get away from the routine of military life. But the girls are not what we would choose for companions. Yet we crave girl companions so much that I guess we get to the place where we think anything is better than nothing." Drafted mothers of our nation, here is the answer to our vice conditions in time of war, and it is an issue to which you, as the mothers of men in uniform, should give grave consideration. Up to the present, there has been too much talk, too much indecision, and too little action on this, as well as on other vital matters. The time has come for you to take this situation in your own hands. After all, your sons are concerned and are subjected to the vice hazard. This column, therefore, urges you, all of you, the drafted mothers of our nation, to get together to correct that situation-not so much by the controlling of vice, which, in truth, is more in the province of others, but by seeing to it that suitable entertainments and recreations are given your boys in camps. As it is today, the USO is not sufficient in numbers, nor are the larger communities which provide such recreations. Recreational centers should be stationed near every military post in our country, and each center should be equipped to take care of every soldier in his particular post. Drafted mothers of our nation, the vice problem, with its attendant increase in venereal diseases, then, would hold little harm for your sons. Soldiers who must seek any social contact available and thereby be the prey to venereal diseases, are not well fitted to cope with the expectancies of battle. And that situation is as detrimental to their morale as is the lack in production of military equipment. Drafted mothers, you, who have your sons' interest at heart more than any other group, should direct your efforts toward arighting this wartime problem-and before this social hazard brings harm to your boys in the service.

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELEN RUBINSTEIN (In this week's column, the noted beauty authority discusses the whys and wherefores of eye beauty.) NEW YORK-You're as young as your eyes and as lovely as your eyes. A recent survey revealed that the first feature a man looks at in a woman's face is her eyes, yet few women pay sufficient attention to the health and beauty of this all - important feature. Beautiful eyes are, first of all, healthy eyes, and the primary principle of eye beauty is to give your eyes the proper rest and care. Wear glasses if you need them. There are many attractive and fashionable eye-glass frames on the market to-day which are really flattering and which can be worn as a smart accessory. In addition, women who do a great deal of knitting or sewing or whose defense jobs require close eye work, there are special eye-glasses so designed that the bottom half of the lens can be used for close work and the top of the lens for resting the eyes when you lift them from your work; this eliminates the need for continually removing your glasses or raising them to your forehead. Since the eyes accumulate a great deal of dust during the course of an ordinary day, it is important to use a good eye wash regularly. Rest, plus cleansing, plus lubrication really gives you your formula for beautiful, healthy eyes. The tissues around the eyes are extremely delicate and sensitive, and must be treated with special care. They need lubrication, but no rubbing or pulling. This is the way to do it: Spread a fine film of cream on your fingertips and gently, with the cushions of your fingers, fingerprint around your eyelids. Leave the cream on overnight. For a quick treatment, wear refreshing pads on your eyes and see how fresh and sparkling your eyes look afterwards. Here are a few make-up tricks which will aid you in keeping your eyes beautiful: If your eyes are deeply ringed, place a touch of make-up film on the darkened area and powder lightly over. For under eye puffiness, add a tiny touch of rouge to the underlid. If your eyes are too far apart, keep your eye shadow close to your nose. If your eyes are too close set, start your eyeshadow in the middle of the eyelid and bring it out to the temples. For eyes that bulge, the shadow should be applied just on the edge of the upper lid. To give your eyes a young, dewy sheen, smooth on a few drops of eyelid oil after your make-up. It will make your lids glisten and protect them at the same time. Defense Next: Beauty and National

Button Hole Club Sews' Soldiers' Socks

Camp Blanding, Fla.-No longer do men stationed at Camp Blanding have to struggle with such feminine details as sewing on buttons or mending socks, for the Button Hole Club of Starke has taken over these duties for them. The organization formed by Miss Margaret Erskine, a director of Starke USO Club, has solicited the aid of local women to perform the bachelor services for soldiers. All a man has to do is bring his mending to the USO headquarters on Wednesdays and Saturdays. But Miss Erskine plans to have regular sewing day at the Camp's three service clubs and men who care to learn the fundamentals of sewing will also be taught how to sew on a button and mend a sock by these volunteer workers.
