Need a mental lift? Try having a new hair-do suggests Ethel Owen on the CBS "We Love and Learn" series. She practices what she preaches, and shows here a new coiffure for spring which Leonce created for her. It is a soft sophisticated style especially suitable to women past forty. The sides are loosely rolled up to meet the front pompadour wave, while the back hair is swirled upward and neatly tucked under the rolls.

To keep a check on your weight, step on the scales each morning before breakfast, recommends petite Sammie Hill, who is heard on Columbia network's "Jones and I" series. Allow yourself a three-pound leeway, but when you add a fourth, better skip that second piece of toast in the morning and butterscotch cream pie for dessert. Remember, bathing suit time is approaching, and you'll want to be rid of those ugly bulges before the summer.

In the Women's World

Defense duties demand so much standing and walking that smart young ladies are giving their feet a great deal more care these days. CBS actress Sammie ("Jones and I") Hill gives herself a pedicure once a week. After massaging insteps, arches and ankles well with cream, she removes it and pats on astringent, dusts with powder and applies the same shade of polish as she uses on her fingernails.

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN Editor's Note: Mrs. Turin is a Coral Gables resident and mother of a draftee. She is an accomplished author and playwright, and recently conducted a radio program for the mothers of boys in the service. Drafted mothers of our nation, the following excerpt, from the "Morning News" of Dallas, Texas, stresses a condition which should stir your mother emotions to the point where you will act at once in behalf of your soldier sons. It reads: "Factories which can turn out 1,000 instruments of war a week are only turning out 500. Why? Because there is a law which says men should work only 40 hours a week. Is there a law which says our sons must fight only 40 hours a week or die only 40 hours a week?" Since you are the mothers of the men who must right, even unto death, regardless of the numbers of days, hours, or pay their duty imposes on them, the time has come for you to bring your influence to bear on correcting this unjust situation. All men should have part in our fight for victory—whether on the fronts of battle or on the fronts of production; all men should consider solely the good of their country if they hope to enjoy the privileges that country offers. This "40-hour Week" has come to be one of our gravest problems; it disallows too many able hands from exercising their full capacity. "The victory of success," as Sarah A. Bolton put it, "is half won when one gains the habit of work," but unfortunately too many individuals refuse to apply themselves unreservedly—or to let others do so—to any task which will bring our production to a tantamount level with that of our enemies. Right here let me give you Gen. MacArthur's recent statement: "I have every confidence," he says, "in the ultimate success of our joint cause, but success in modern war requires something more than courage and willingness to die. It requires careful preparation. No general can make something from nothing. My success or failure will depend primarily upon the resources which our respective governments place at my disposal. My faith in them is complete. In any event, I shall do my best. I shall keep the soldier's faith." When you consider, drafted mothers, what Gen. MacArthur, your sons and my son must sacrifice for us all, can we disregard that "soldier's faith" because of the "40-Hour Week," which deters the output of equipment they so urgently need? A similar law, as the one just put into effect for post office employees should be enforced for those engaged in war industries. It is a law which states that employees may work forty-eight hours a week when the postmaster general deems it necessary, and which pays overtime at the regular rate, rather than the time-and-a-half. Every law enforced at some earlier period should be altered in accordance with the present demand of emergency. The "40-Hour Week," which was enforced under the NRA, was much needed, because it gave more people work during the depression. But conditions have changed; we are at war. All of us ultimately may be required to work unlimited hours with overtime at the regular rate of pay. Why wait for catastrophe to urge us to do that which, if effected now, can save our democratic way of life? Under our present form of government, labor should have no year of losing what has been gained when the war is ended—so long as we win the war. Not to win it, because of the lack in production the "40-Hour Week" can cause, alone will rob those in the group of labor of their just rights to bargain. Drafted mothers of our nation, since you come from both the management and labor groups, you should be able to "crack down" on this "40-Hour Week." A law which, if not altered to conform to our present emergency, will put the fighting of your soldier sons to such disadvantage that they can lose the war. In that case, our people will have no rights at all. (Copyright, 1942)

Has the past winter roughened your skin? A few weeks of persistent care can make it smooth and satiny once more. Here is Sammie Hill, CBS star of the "Jones and I" series, who takes an extra ten minutes in the morning to rub in a cream cologne that not only removes all traces of dryness but leaves an aura of scent that lasts the day through. Incidentally, Sammie gives an extra bit of attention to elbows, heels and knees.

Victory gardeners take note. Adelaide Gerwig, of Columbia network's "Aunt Jenny's Stories," wears a garden outfit that is both attractive and comfortable. The natural linen skirt has ample fullness, and is trimmed with red wool to match the crocheted basque sweater she wears over a red and white peasant blouse. (From Lanz of Salzburg.)

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBINSTEIN (In this week's column, presented as a special feature to the women readers of this paper, the noted beauty expert prescribes a home treatment for the hair.) NEW YORK—There is something so fascinating about healthy, well-groomed hair that any woman who neglects her crowning glory is making a grave beauty mistake. A very good friend of mine called up the other day to beg off from a party to which I had invited her. When asked what had caused her change in plans, she nearly burst into tears. "My hair is a sight!" she exclaimed; "I shampoo it faithfully, Madame Rubinstein, yet very often it becomes so dowdy and untidy that I'm ashamed to go out in public!" I told my friend she was mistaken in thinking that simply washing her hair was a cure-all for her problem and explained to her that the shampoo should be a complete beauty treatment for the hair; that her shampoo, preferably one compounded of herbs, should be mild and easy to lather, and that it does no harm to wash the hair once every ten days, or even once a week if it is dirty. I told her to follow this routine: 1—Divide hair in small sections. Hold up one section at right angle to scalp. Draw a stiff-bristled brush through it three times from scalp to end of hair. Continue in this manner until you have brushed all hair in this manner. Do not be afraid to pull hair. 2—Dip a piece of cotton in hair tonic and rub it on the scalp by parting the hair. Continue parting until scalp is thoroughly covered with tonic. If dandruff condition exists, substitute an antiseptic dandruff lotion. 3—Place the wrists firmly on either side of the head and bury the fingertips firmly in the scalp. Now place the fingers at the nape of the neck and move them with the same rotating movement up to the crown of the head. As you do this, lower and raise your head to left, then to right. This is an excellent head exercise to stimulate your scalp and strengthen your hair. 4—To wash the hair, never use a bar of soap directly on it. Make a lather by dissolving soap in warm water, unless a liquid shampoo is used. If the hair is excessively oily, or if there exists a bad case of dandruff, a medicated shampoo should be used. Pour the selected shampoo on the scalp and rub it thoroughly with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly. Apply the shampoo a second time and again rinse well. If the hair is long, wash it between your hands as if it were a piece of silk. It is most important to rinse the hair until every particle of soap has been removed. 5—Dip a hand brush or nail brush into your shampoo and scrub around your hairline, back and front. 6—If your hair is growing darker or looks dull and lifeless, a lemon or camomile rinse will brighten it. Peroxide dries the hair, as do most of the prepared rinses. A vinegar rinse after a permanent wave to prevent the comb breaking and splitting the hair is advisable. 7—Rub hair and scalp with a clean, dry towel until the hair is dry. If possible, dry out of doors. Fresh air seems to give hair lustre, but avoid bright sunlight because it bleaches. 8—If you have a permanent wave, or wish to train your hair with combs, set it the way you wish it to fall before the hair is completely dry. A wave-setting lotion might help, but use it sparingly. 9—After you have dressed the hair, you may apply a fragrant scented brilliantine. If the ends are dry and brittle, rub them between the palms of your hands on which you have previously put a few drops of brilliantine. It adds lustre.
