GLORIFY YOURSELF Housekeeping War Job, Too You don't need to fell apologetic, Mrs. America, because you aren't at work in a war plant, if you are doing your own house work and taking care of your children. You are probably doing more in "man hours" to help win the war than if you went out tomorrow and got yourself a job in a munitions factory. Full-Time Job The British have found that when children are put into day nurseries it takes one full-time employe to take care of only four or five children. By staying at home a woman can not only look after her family, but do the which she would have and do housework, the cooking and the washing.

When mothers of families go into war factories to work, nurseries, restaurants and laundries have to hire more help. Lady Kathleen Simon, active in day nursery work in London, is advising American mothers of young children not to consider taking full-time jobs outside the home. It has already been proved in Great Brtiain, she says, that "work of the housewife is the most economical form of labor invented." Long Hours at Home Mrs. America, don't let yourfeel your job is small potatoes when you see pictures of women in overalls doing war work. Chances the girl overalls works an eight-hour day, with time and a half for overtime.

Keep track of your own time and you will probably find that you are working a 12-hour day, seven days a week. It is true you haven't the satisfying title of war worker and you can't claim you are doing a man's job. But in "man hours" you are doing all right. So stick to your job. You can give a last year's turning out extra bits loveliness cotton.

They deserve every bit of it, but what about other strangers? "Many persons from 20 years up have left their homes to help win the war in local defense plants.

They, too, are strangers in the city. They want social activities, but hesitate to make friends with just any one they happen to meet.
