A lot of big brave men are Quail ing today in anticipation of a razor blade shortage or the sake of pri orities they fear their tender skins must become scarred and raw But they need not be porcupines for the duration if they follow these razor sharp rules: 1 Take care of your whiskers 2 Take care of your razor 3 Take care of your blades Charles DeZcmler who ope rates five luxurious barber shops in mld1 town Manhattan and the blade manufacturers agree that proper lathering is more than 50 per cent of the shaving problem It is not Buy War Stamps with your change!

They won't hire day labor for workers can be of much greater use in war indus tries or on farms Even the garden owners themselves may be engaged in home defense activities all the more reason for getting an early start by beginning active gardening operations as soon as the ground is dry enough to work This is the time to get woody ma terial transplanted Look over your rose bushes and replace the plants which have died or are weakened Re)Mrts indicate that tills Winter caused quite a heavy lass of roses Although the Winter was not se vere there were two or three cold snaps when the plants were not hardened thoroughly You can get roses from a nursery nearby at reasonable prices and the earlier you plant them the better You can sow seeds of all hardy annuals and perennials directly in the open ground now and this should be done as soon as possible for best results plant warm weather annuals such as zinnias and single dahlias until later un less you sow them In a cold frame In handling perennial seeds it is a good thing to put some covering over them until they have germ inated We used to use old bags but burlaps Is scarce now You can use salt hay or straw free from weed seeds however This covering keeps the moisture at the surface of the ground until the seed has germ inated but remember to look under the covering regularly and remove it when the seeds have started to germinate Otherwise the plants become yellow and will be killed when exposed to the sun Victory Kits of Goodies! $325 Jap Bombers Give Yanks ish Dinner Corrcgidor ortress (P) (De Col Joseph Kohn of

soften any beard Now for your razor: a safety razor is a precision tool according to the men who manufacture them "If you drop your razor only a few inches onto the basin and cer tainly if it falls to a tile floor vou may throw the tines out of one warns size of the open ing between the tines and the blade determines what kind of a shave the razor gives DeZcmler advises the hottestwater you can

smooth glass says DeZcmler the blade single or double edge lengthwise inside the tumbler You can wet the glass or use it dry it doesn't matter Place the forefinger on the blade lengthwise and move it brisk ly in a semicircle inside the glass back and forth dozen strokes is enough This will straighten the feather edge so you can get as many as six or seven shaves from one blade de pending on the toughness of the beard a chamois or a piece of flannel in the bathroom and after each shave wipe razor and blade carefully Be sure it Is dry before you put it As for new blades production appears to be headed for a io to 15 per cent cut But our manufac turer reports the tremendous in crease in blade production in 1941 was caused by competitive advertising by the manufacturers who stocked the shelves with millions of blades so there is this backlog of reserve blades to fill in shortened Wrapped Hard Candies 69c box Pure sugar flavored with real Each piece wrapped in War Department

quarters regarded it a not improbable that there had been a formal surrender on Bataan By STEPHEN M'DONOUGH An Eastern Seaboard Arsenal (Wide World) Several thousand nimble fingered girls are helping win the war by turning out the fine parts of anti aircraft shells cartridges and machine gun bullets for the Ordnance Department of the Army Their motto is a Kiss for and they mean the shell or cartridge Many of them say frankly that they like their jobs In the next breath they add T'but the boys in Bataan ana Australia like theirs either give them the stuff as fast as they can use And they arc doing it Girls who need jobs are pitching in not for the money involved but because of some stronger urge Mothers are leaving their babies to be cared for by a neighbor or putting them in day nurseries None of them like to sit from 3 until 11 or from 11 until 7 in the morn ing feeding cartridge cases primers and high explosive powder into automatic machines to make a finished shell At times they have to be told to slow down because they are out running the machines The opera tions are so precise they measure the clearances on the fit of a bullet into the cartridge case to one ten thousandth of an inch which is much slimmer than a whis kers that the inspectors must warn the girls to ease up for fear they may ruin a thousand cartridges Still they think the machines are too slow although they are turning out hundreds of thousands of Real Precision Jobs Every clrl knows that must be timed to within two one hundredths of a second when it is thrown thousands of feet into the air against an enemy airplane So they make mistakes What's the work like? Take a paper match find the smallest bit of cigarette ash and try to place it on the exact center of the match head precision in the way they do it at this arsenal But that to the laboratory work ers who check the gauges used in the manufacture of machines and tools is crude manipulation They check to millionths of an inch and could go farther if the Army would give them time To date there has not been a report of a single failure of an anti aircraft fuse or a single round of rille machine gun or anti tank shell That is the type of pre cision preparedness we are getting today Tire general who commands this ordnance arsenal is obviously proud that in his group of women tech nicians he has 70 girls with bachelor of science degrees and two doctors of philosophy These experts work in the gauge testing laboratories and in the optical shops Their standards are so high that for the prisms and lenses of fire control By ESCAR THOMPSON Wide World eatures Spencer Tenn An invitation to attend an old contest or to eat a box supper means to residents of this Cumberland Plateau town what an official demand to your might elsewhere Tills innovation in raising munic ipal revenue got its startiin Octo ber 1940 when eight civic minded women got themselves elected to all the offices of the town government abolished faxes and started sjxin soring for municipal purposes Making Money!
