CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN Editor's Note: Mrs. Turin is a Coral Gables resident and mother of a draftee. She is an author, related poetry and playwright, and recently conducted a radio program for the mothers of boys In the service. Each individual makes his own world by the way in which he accepts the experience given him. And the manner in which he meets that experiepce either causes him to be confined to narrow limits - which I term "little worlds" - or to be sufficiently tractable to cover an area of mind big enough to cope with a total war. Obviously the "little worlds" are small in scope; they make of little things the major issues. Even in time of war, "little worlds" too often are obdurate in holding to their narrow scope. It is by them that dissensions are promoted, instead of unity of purpose; by them that creev-enness is inspired, instead of fortitude; by them selfishness is nurtured, instead of genuine patriotism. An our enemy hopes to conquer us, by the "little worlds" we foster over here. But when the sphere of thought is big, non-essentials are discounted, and the more essential issues which win a war are embraced. From that larger sphere comes the effort to work together toward our common goal of victory, to feel the courage needed in this type of conflict, to develop genuine patriotism under all adversities. Furthermore, the "will," on the part of our people, to put such effort to full practice is the attribute which will bring the war to a successful conclusion. The attribute which every loyal civilian to give spiritual and material support to our men on the battle line. Drafted mothers of our nation, your soldier sons must have that spiritual and material support-and especially in a total war. This war is different from those of other times. It is total. As Mr. Shirer describes it from the Nazi point of view, a total war is one which annihilates the vanquished nations and deletes them altogether from the map of the earth. Manifestly, it takes a big sphere of thought to understand the full import of this situation. It is vital that everyone must do his part to support your sons, drafted mothers, if we hope to win such a total conflict. The truth is your sons expect that support-and justly so. Recently General Drum made this point very clear. According to an Associated Press report, he said and I quote here in part: "... Secure unity in spirit and effort to finish the difficult job ahead, and you will meet the common demand of the American soldier of to-day. He expects all of us to share with him the concentrate on finishing the war job first...." But, unfortunately, the "little worlds" still discount that "the war job" must be effected first. Often domestic and other personal difficulties, financial problems, physical ailments, and even social activities keep the scope of mind limited to these issues; such a state of mind tends to disregard the vital issue of winning the war by making those "little worlds" of major importance. As to the financial problems at this time of crisis, there are two "little worlds" which become so inflated by their own interests that the entire thought is centered there: the world of capital, which stresses the likely loss of its power and money; the world of labor, which stresses the likely gain of its power and money. And both overlook the essential problem: that of winning the war first. Drafted mothers of our nation, because your sphere of thought is so tractable as to expand, if necessary, to the far ends of the globe to give support to your sons, you should bring your good influence to bear on expanding these "little worlds" - "little worlds" which neglect to make those sons their first consideration. You, who are held together by the common bond of the most precious gift on earth, your sons, should get together to correct this grave condition. For if it is not corrected in time, our democratic way of life can be destroyed by an enemy who is counting on those "little worlds" to be his chief weapon in that destruction. (Copyright, 1942)

In the Women's World

There'll come a day, when we'll be far away, when we'll be wearing cotton stockings for the most part. Manufacturers are perfecting flattering weaves, such as the Gotham non-run mesh hose, for town, worn here with black calf shoes saddle stitched in white. They come in cyclamen, gold, cobalt blue, beige. Service men all say, "We want our girls to look feminine," and certainly there could be no more alluringly feminine frock than the one Songstress Joan Edwards wears. Of pale green and yellow mousseline de soie, the top tier of the skirt is cut in petals and embroidered with silk braid. The embroidery is repeated on the epaulets and under the tight-fitting bosom. Lightweight beige wool suit with dressmaker detail is worn by lovely Ann Eden for tea in town or theatre dates. Notice how the same cut of the jacket is repeated at the hem of the skirt and the almost summery effect of the beige embroidered white pique collar. Her forward tilted beige felt hat by Sally Victor is trimmed generously with maline. Sporty and thrifty are these cool cotton walking hose. They are one of the interesting weaves perfected by Gotham for girls who want to save their sheer hose for special occasions. This ribbed pattern is especially suitable for walking or golf. feminine. Mr. Michel of my New York salon has designed a new "flower-petal" cut, an excellent coiffure for women war workers, since it requires no hairpins (which, incidentally, are on the priorities list) and since it can easily be kept in place. Rows of soft "petal" curls are cut into the hair after it is set, each curl being a different length, so that when a comb or brush is run from back to front, the curls fall naturally into a soft, smooth coiffure. Skin cleansing is extremely important and women in industrial plants should cleanse thoroughly at least four times a day to guard the complexion against the formation of blackheads and blemishes from imbedded dirt or powder substances. After cleansing, a rich, all-purpose face cream should be used with a good set of cleansing massage movements. Nails will be cut shorter, and hands will require daily care to be kept soft and smooth. In addition to nail oil and hand lotion, I suggest a series of special hand exercises to help relax stiff, tired fingers. In order to insure lithe, slender figures, a woman working in a war factory needs exercises that will relieve the tension produced by working all day and that help correct posture. Let the woman in a war factory follow a good beauty routine and she will be as beautifully turned out as any lady of leisure. The eyes of the country are focused on her now-and it is up to her to look, as well as act, the part of a natural heroine. (Madame Rubinstein will be happy to lend the readers of this column a series of beneficial Figure Exercises ideal for the woman engaged in war work. To receive them write to Helena Rubinstein, care of this paper.) Here is a hat that is the ultimate in chic. Pert Dolores Gillen wears it with a smart up hair-do. Designed by Erik of black slipper satin, it is trimmed with bright emerald green coque feathers and a chin veil of matching green with black beauty marks appliqued on either side. women who will change the beauty pattern of America. For them new beauty modes will be created to permit them to do their jobs efficiently and still allow them to keep their looks. Their hair will be shorter, but still feminine. Their faces will be gay, young, boldly colored, even while they are occupied with the grave tasks of war. Their nails will be shorter, more naturally colored, but still well groomed, and their hands will be soft and lovely in the evening though busy at grimy jobs during the day. And never will American women give up their lithe, slender, graceful bodies. All this will require restyling and changes in beauty care and so many women have asked me for advice that I have planned a beauty program to meet these needs. The first thing a woman will restyle when she takes a job in a war factory is her hairdo, for shorter hair is necessary for both efficiency and safety. Yet, the woman worker should not go to mannish extremes when she cuts her hair, for this war's version of the short haircut will be much softer, more

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBINSTEIN (In this week's article, presented as a special feature to the women readers of this paper, the noted beauty authority describes the present trend toward activ courageous women.) NEW YORK-American women are on the advance. Not content with rolling bandages, attending air raid meetings and such defensive measures, they are now poining their men in taking the offensive for victory. A few women have told me that they are becoming artillery range finders and weather forecasters ... others are training to become expert mechanics and to handle trucks, ambulances-in fact, anything and everything on wheels ... some are learning to map itineraries ... and-most important-many of them are taking jobs in factories, learning how to use drill presses and lathes and riveting vibrators to turn out tanks, guns, planes and bullets in America's greatest job of all time. According to War Production Board reports, 2,000,000 American women-most of them housewives, will be working in war factories by 1934. This is the new race of women that America's war is producing-a fighting, working, determined race of women. It is these

Mrs. Johnston Calls for Volunteers

Mrs. Roy Johnston, co-chairman of the Coral Gables unit, Auxiliary Medical Corps Emergency Surgical Service, has called a meeting for 8 o'clock Monday night at the Coral Gables Elementary School (permanent Red Cross station). The purpose of the meeting is to acquaint both men and women volunteers with the duties of the emergency station. "Coral Gables is gravely lacking in personnel for the station," says Mrs. Johnston," and unless the men and women in this community wake up to that fact, we will be as bad off as London was in her first air raids," she said. All types of volunteers are needed; nurses' aides, ambulance drivers, stretcher bearers, messengers, etc.
