A oABYm By Lillian B. Stormt The pre-cooked special baby cer ials have added vitamins and min rals and are very nutritious. They ire attractive to insects, much the ame as whole wheat flour is more ubject to insect infestation than s plain white flour. Placed on a •antry shelf with other cereals, mu may find that insects will eave the less nutritious foods in •reference for these more nutri ious ones. They should be stored n a dry place, not too warm. Espe :ially after the package has been ipened, it may be best to keep it n the refrigerator. The canned baby foods, also anned evaporated milk, are steril zed and will keep almost indefi litely before opening. All canned mods should be stored in a cool, Iry place. Food in glass jars ihould be stored in the dark be muse light destroys one of the ritamins, riboflavin, very rapidly, rhis also applies to milk in glass iiottles. When baby first begins to eat :anned strained vegetables and fruits, only part of the car. may ie used at a meal. As with can ted milk, the can or jar has been sterilized when the food was pack id and is a perfectly safe con miner. The top of the can should washed before opening, then ‘.he unused portion may be left in :he container (either a tin or glass iar), carefully covered and re frigerated. If there is no refrigerator, do tot attempt to keep canned milk >r baby foods after the can has >een opened. Use for some other nember of the family, as in a reamed soup. Canned foods are ooked foods and need the same are and treatment as other cook d foods. WATKINS Territory' Available. Earnings, $30 to $35 a Week. See Lee H.

BIEMILLER NO STRETCH On dress-up evenings in most towns there is considerable bed room muttering from the distaff side about the quality of harness that goes underneath the feminine finery seen by the outside world Has been ever since the War Pro duction Board decided rubber, cot ton and steel strips could be put t» somewhat more rugged combat ust than they would get in foundation garments- So naturally there was matronly hope that Army releases of large amounts of cotton and rub ber would enable manufacturers to correct matters- Feminine anticip;-* tion was further whetted by a wide ly publicized WPB statement to ths effect that twoway stretch girdles would be back by November. PRICE REGULATIONS The trouble with OPA pricing in this reconversion period is literally the same fault founid in wartime corhetry—no stretch. In practically every field, apparel automobiles, foods, gadgets, building \ materials, that fact shows again and again- All production costs are up, especially labor costs, and the OPA partially recognizes this. Yet man ufacturers are not being permitted to make those price adjustments j necessary to profitable business and the sort of volume production w-hich makes jogs. ELASTICITY NEEDED Until the government forces OPA to adc! the sort of elasticity that is needed obth in feminine fashions and the national economy, reconversion is likely to be slow There is not much logis in deny ing people things they did without while victory was in the making. Why stave off the prosperity that comes when there is a demand for goods, a willingness to make them, money to buy them, and a great need for the jobs those factors ere' ate’ Then came disappointment. The Corset and Brassiere Ass. of Am erica openly declared that no such supplies wuold be available in any thing like volume qcantities. Dis-1 appointment could be traced back to that perennial disappointment, the OPA- Foundation makers said, “While manufacturers are now freed from regulations which formerly re stricted the buying of materials, they are not freed from price regulations which determine the types of garm ents they may produce-” Service with A Smile— * We Carry A Full Line of High Grade GROCERIES 8c MEATS ALL KINDS of FRESH VEGETABLES & FRUIT Andersen’s Hilltop Grocery 1517 NORTH 30th ST.

Hatch. (D„ N. Mexico) and Joseph H. Ball (R., Minn.,) by Leslie Perry of the NAACP Washington Bureau last week. Senator Harold H. Burton, (R. Ohio) the other co-sponsor was recently given a geat on the bench of theAUnited States Supreme court The bill propoxes to gcrap the National Relations Board to handle controversies between labor mil management. The NAACP listed the following objections to the bill: (1) The right to strike would bo more seriously limited in peacetime under this bill than it \vas in time of war. (2) The salutary estrictiong of the Norris-La Guarilia Act against labor ipjunctions by federal courts would be relaxed an 1 largely set a gide. (2) The bill is „ i drawn as to exclude from federal regulation great numbers of industries and enterprises over which the Nation al Labor Board now exercises jur isdiction with the 8anctlon of the Supreme Court. (4) Union "influence" upon and "interference" with the detection of a bargaining representative is pro hibited, thus opening the way for undue restriction of proper union activity of labor organizeis (5) Although the bill contains i a desirable prohibition of a closed shop where Negroes are excluded from union meirbership, it appar ently would permit a closed shop: with Jim Crow and "Auxiliary” Ne gro localg. Moreoveri a labor or ganization which excludes Negroes altogether may become the "exclus ive bargaining agent” for these ex cluded Negroes inder the bill. Negro railroad men_ among others, know the consequences of such an arrangement. The NAACP indicated that it would testify in opposition to the bill when hearings are held on it by the Senate Education an
