Skirted Sailors Enough officers and bluejackets to man a major task force including a battleship, two large aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers and fifteen destroyers have been released to naval battle stations by women appointed for voluntary emergency service. So successful was the first year’s experiment of Utilizing women at naval shore posts that the navy intends to raise their number from 27,000 to 91,000 by the end of 1944. The success of their invasion into a service which was once strictly all male has greatly changed the navy’s original plans regarding the women’s reserve. Originally their activities were largely to be confined to office work but today they are manning control towers at airfields, serving at nerve centers of naval communications, restoring health to the wounded at naval hospitals, packing parachutes, teach ing blind flying, doing research work of all types and other vital work. They learn to work together with military snap and effi ciency. To those who are ambitious there is always the opportunity for further edu cation and more responsibility via offi cers’ training schools. On the first birth day of the WAVES they were told by Ad miral Ernest J. King, commander in chief U. S. fleet and chief of naval operations, that “the expectations of the navy in you have been justified by your hard work and sincere devotion to duty. You who are members of the women’s reserve have won the respect of the naval service by your acceptance of mili tary requirements, readi ness for responsibility, an already valuable con tribution to the work of winning the war.” ip Aeronautics I ,;,.

NEW EFFECTIVE HAY FEVER RELIEF Hay fever, which annually causes more sneezes, more inflamed noses and more red, streaming eyes than any other scourge, may have its final big fling this September, all because a Pennsylvania electrical engineer was served a dish of corn meal mush which was entirely too salty. The engineer, sneezing, and with all other hay fever manifestations, stopped at a hotel where he was served a dish of mush which he considered sending back as it was much too salty. Finally he ate it, however; the hay fever attack les sened, ultimately ceased. Next day he had three meals, all oversalted, and experienced his most comfort able time in years in the “hay fever season.” His analytical mind quickly grasped the possibility that the saline substance in his food was responsible for his relief. About this time, Dr. E. E. Sel leck, a graduate of Columbia Uni versity, met the engineer, made notes, and when he returned to his home, began experiments. Today Dr. Selleck declares he has*found a certain means of relief for hay fever and is supported in his con tention by other medical experts, and a nationally known chemical manufacturing concern, the Hol lings-Smith Company, at Orange burg, New York, has taken over making the remedy, which is called Nakamo Bell. Describing the experiments, Dr. Selleck said, “After I was sure I had found a means of quickly re lieving hay fever through the chlor ide group, I tested it in the most practical way I knew. I held a three day clinic, to which many hay fever sufferers responded, from ages ranging from 10 to 60 years. Each person was given two tablets with a little water. Some relief came to all within ten min utes. Reports on these cases dur ing the ensuing weeks showed practically a complete cessation of symptoms.”—Adv. How to Line Casement Curtains; May Be Drawn as Shades at Night TURN RIGHT SIDE OUT STITCH A TOP TWICE fi THEN SEWL RINGS Z" ^ APART• \ LEAVE BOT TOM OPEN CUT LINING * 1“ SMALLER • THAN CHINTZ ' I • HEM BOTH* •/PLACE RIGHT "/SIDES TOGETHER d AND STITCH M SIDES AND TOP AS SH0WN QUAINT chintz curtains are al ways appropriate for case ment windows and their colors give the best effect by day if they are lined to keep the light from shining through. At night they may be drawn together to serve instead of shades if the lining is of fairly heavy material. The secret of making curtains of this type hang well is in not joining the two layers of material at the bottom. If your windows are narrow, a half width of chintz and of lining may be wide enough for each of the curtains. The Lining should be cut one inch nairower and shorter than the chintz. Hem each piece, then place right sides together and stitch side seams, as shown at the right of this sketch. Crease sides with seams on the lining, then stitch across top. The lower sketch shows how the top is finished. • • • NOTE—Complete directions lor making chair seat covers like those In today's Prisoners of War Of the some 6,500,000 prisoners of war now interned in 40-odd countries, about 5,000,000 are held by the Axis powers and only 1,500, 000 by the Allied Nations, ap proximately 65 per cent of the lat ter number being Germans cap tured in Russia. sketch may be found on page 8 of Book 1 of the series which Mrs. Spears has pre pared for our readers.
