Just a few each evening, as I understand it, and those the regulars who serve more or less in a supervisory capacity. But there they'll be, all done up like feminine M. in militant-looking suits To Roster; Plans Luncheon Events By ANNE WEISS The names of more than 100 new members have been added to the roster of the Woman's Club of Mt.

Hickock and Mrs. W. F. Heidenreich or nonzon blue with wide leather belts. If there's one point on which service men have made themselves clear, it's that they dont want to go on leave or furlough and have to look at women In uniform.

They get plenty of khaki, navy blue, nllve drab and military insignia in service. More than plenty. They get led up to the ears, they say. On those rare and happy occasions when they get away from the grind, they have a strong yen to feast their eyes on pretty girls who look like pretty girls, not like sisterly versions of themselves. Word Tiey Fight For This is no wild and wicked yen.

They just want to be reminded that there is a world where uniforms needn't be worn, and that there's the world they're fighting to keep and come back to. They want for a little while to dance nd dream, to laugh and talk of foolish things. The whole idea of the Canteen Is to help give them that chance. Why. then, put hostesses in uniform? Even a few seems too many.

The girls can't help but look military. Much as the boys respect the work being done by WAACs and WAVES and girl Marines, they're likely to think ihat other girls in uniform on Dry Skin Is Caused By Water Ann Savage Finds Trouble, Too, At Times By ALICA HART Many of the women who have recently traveled from one section of the country to another tt take defense jobs or visit their husbands at Army camps, are finding that for the first time in their lives they are haying complexion trouble. "In most cases it may be due to ANN SAVAGE: Tests water. nothing more than a change in water," says film player Ann Savage, who is soon to be seen in "Two Senoritas From Chicago." "The solution is simple," she insists. "Whenever I go on location to make a picture, and find that my skin is beginning to feel tight and a bit rough, I have a test made of the water.

"If it contains minerals which will deprive my skin of its normal supply of oil, I either use a softened. distilled water to bath in, or if that isn't available, I switch to an extra rich soap." Business Clubs Elect Executives Miss Nance Pugh was re-elected president of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Business Professional Women's Clubs at the annual meeting which closed Sunday afternoon after a two-day conference. Mrs. Katherine S. Carpenter of Jersey Shore, Pa was elected first vice president; Mrs.

Dorothy Urick of MeadviHe, second vice president: Miss Irene A. Atwater of McKees-port, recording secretary; and Miss Alice L. Bolton of Allentown was re-elected treasurer. The next annual meeting will take place In Wilkes Barre, Pa. Iv By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED One cannot Ignore the enormous influence any group of playmates has upon child's bad habits.

Oh, do you suck your thumb?" from a playmate would be more devastating to the morale of a thumb-sucker than any bitter medicine, any thumb-guard or the full assortment of the parents most humiliating comments. One mother who admits she has always ignored the thumb-sucking of her infant now wonders what to do about her bigr girl who is still thumb-sucking. "She has sucked her thumb until she has a bump on her lower lip and a callous on her thumb. We are trying to break her of the habit and she does try but what disturbs me as an ex-teacher is that she will be ridiculed when she goes to school." The probability Is that she will discover long before she is old enough for school that this is a baby habit upon which children comment sarcastically. Because this will be a rather universal attitude she will make an even greater ef fort to quell her desire for her thumb in order to live up to their expectations that, she -won't suck her thumb.

The child who drops this habit after the second year, as most of them do, outgrows the temporary physical results of it. One boy whose upper lip stuck out as if bee-stung because of his sucking habit, shows no trace of it now. What this child needs is more companionship to inspire more ac tive play so that the indulgence in such a passive habit as thumb- sucking will be reduced to the mini mum. Traces of this may persist for years. We know many an adult who thrusts a finger in a mouth when in a deeply thoughtful or pen sive mood.

Keep in mind that as children grow they desire to become individuals, not rubber-stamp images of their parents. There are many things they cannot do, without our disapproval, that we don't want to make thumb-sucking attractive merely because it offers them an opportunity to be different, despite our entreaties. Your former attitude was the most discouraging to the habit. wouldn't drop it now when you can count upon new interests and the companionship of other children to help her to pull that thumb out of her mouth so it may keep com pany with her busy fingers. Your part is to feed her well, prevent fatigue or unhappiness of boredom, so that there is no longer any excuse for sitting in a corner and making a companion of her thumb.

Our leaflet, "Thumb-Sucking" may be had by sending a 3-cent stamped, self -addressed envelope with your request to Myrtle Meyer Eldred in care of this newspaper.

I i iff J- the dance floor at what amounts to a private club for service men will be superfluous. If it's identification that's needed, or some way of Indicating a girl's rank as a hostess, surely a more quiet way could be found. A badge, a ribbon, an armband would serve. Girls Don't Likz It Surely the girls themselves aren't particularly anxious to hop into uniform for this particular pleasant chore. They know what the boys think.

They've learned that when uniforms are necessary, the idea is to wear them on duty and then look as feminine as possible the rest of the time. There are so many things that have to be done because of the war. Fighting, rationing, separation from friends and family, putting personal plans into abeyance for the duration all sorts of. things. One thing that is not necessary is to give a militaristic feminine air to dances, purely social activities and oases in the desert to men who've been living in a camp or on a ship or at the front.

If the thing spreads, dance floors are likely to turn into drab seas of uniformed automatons, who might as well be drilling on the field for all the laughter and gaiety they get out of it. Massage Removes Fat From Inside Of Knee By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN Many women are killing- the fatted calf in the privacy of their homes even when there is no prodigal son to return. The large, bulky calf gives the leg the same shapeless appearance a thick ankle does. This is a most prevalent figure problem and is more difficult to overcome than large hips or abdomen. Of course, if you are generally overweight a loss in poundage will show the calf.

However, special ized figure problems sometimes present us with a. large waistline and thin legs or a slim waist and bulging thighs. The glands are at the bottom of this mischief and we have to fight them with all the tricks we know! Massage may be of some help in the case of the large calf but how much I cannot guarantee. Specialized exercise is the best remedy. Here is one: Stand tall, arms at sides, or if you prefer, one hand against the wall for support.

Raise the toes of both feet upward off of the floor as far as you can. Hold for a few seconds. Return to floor. Continue, rising, holding and low ering. Another problem of the leg is the on the inside of the knee.

This a stubborn one, too. We cannot stretch this fat with exercise so we have only massage meth left. However, I have seen some happy results when these were employed vigorously. Here are two: dl Squeeze and the fat between, your fingers and thumb. Do this until the inside the knee is red.

(2) Lie on the floor, bend the knees and put the feet on the floor. Slap the knees together smartly. Keep separating and slapping. With great persistence this will bring you results. It takes time so don't give up.

If you have leg troubles and want help, send a 3-cent stamped, self-addressed envelope to Josephine Lowman in care of P. O. Box 476, Pittsburgh, Pa. Pitcairn Girl Is May Bride-Elect At a tea in their home Mr. and Mrs.

H. POLLOCK Home Forecast- Dehydrated Fish and Sea Foods Are Given Tests By BETTY MacDONALD WASHINGTON, May 15 De hydrated sea food, including shark cod, mullet, skate, whiting and carp, dessicated to the consistency of breakfast crunchies, is being tested by Department of Agriculture scientists. The fish concentrates have from 65 to 85 per cent protein, 1 to 24 per cent fat, 5 to 15 per cent mineral content. Another tidbit in this line is the dehydrated saltwater mus sel, long a European delicacy, now finding its way into American chowders, stews and casseroles. Spoof Sofvoce Last year typewriter ribbon spool production was curtailed 50 per cent, and manufacturers tried such sub stitutes as wood, plastic, fiber and paper board.

None proved as satisfactory as metal, so salvage is still one of the best solutions left. So, stenographers, save those steel spools if you are not now turning them in to your office supply house with each new order. OD Q-l Preriewed'by towel manufacturers and WPB recently was a new G-I towel for service men, a sturdy, serviceable olive drab number which may soon be in mass production.

They tentatively agreed also, to produce face cloths In foot-wide squares as a conservation measure.
