For Bathing Suits Women's bathing suits will né longer contain' any rubber, nor will shoes, it was announced re- sently after a series of meetings of the elastics and narrow fabrics division of the Wartime Prices and de board, of which P, H. Boi- win, Mayor of Granby, is the head, A number jof other restrictions have also 'been decided upon, all designed to conserve available supplies. of rubber, As '» result of a questionnaire sent to 1,600 textile "and other manufacturers who ase.rabber in _théir products, it.was learned that "70 per cent 'of wonien's bathing suits at present contain lastex, and . that more than 60 per cent or « women's shoes have rubber in the linings. It has been agreed that this use of rubber is non-essen- tial. It was further agreed that the rubber content of corsets will be reduced at least 50 per cent, with rubber being used in future only in panel strips, bi Men's suspenders are another article affected. These will be made with only a small piece of rubber at the back. The rest of the suspenders must be of some rigid material. The manufactur ers have also agreed to reduce the rubber. content of women's ynder- wear and other garments contain- ing rubber at least 60 per cent. In no case will wearing apparel be manufactured * containing. more than 50 per cent of the rubber formerly used. All available stocks of rubber have been allocated to the differ- ent manufacturers, based on their requirements and on' the type. or goods manufactured, Massage The Face While Washing It Done correctly, even the sim plest beauty routine is beneficial to the skin in more ways than one, .

The salvage effort, which al- ready is under way, has the full support of the Steel Controller. Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, says: "l can think of no large class which -has more consistently ans- wered all appeals for help in -the- war effort. . They can now do a further very real service to their eoun.ry by turning in milk and eream cans now in their posses- gion but not in actual use for the collection and delivery of milk." H. A. Derby, secretary 3f the Dairy Products Board, estimates roughly that about 10,000 milk and cream cans weighing from 12 to 20 pounds each are being used for some purpose other than that for which they were intend- ed. He said that in one small Ontario locality 100 cans were collected in one day by represen. Matives of the creameries.* About 160,000 pounds of much-needed steel can be saved if all the cans are recovered, Medieval Armor For Melting Pot Armor worn by English knights Crecy, swords ed at Balaclava; "and native ined for by tourists . ijerranan sto Song to the mational melting steel for tanks, bombs.

But Nick's clientele only numbers four and the boys are let out. The last night though they meet the famous Jonesy, as. sistant to the great theatrical pro- ducer, Thornton Reed. In the Pitt-Astor drug store the next day, Tommy is- talking to pretty Penny Morris, who has just lost a stage part. Just then, Jonesy sends' for 'Tommy and his: pals and offers: them an audition for Thornton Reed's new musical. But the boys spread the news around and when they arrive at the theatre the place is a mad. house. Furious about it and loath- ing actors any way, Reed refuses to give the boys a hearing. For the first time Tommy is thorough. ly discouraged. hope in himself. CHAPTER THREE Angrily, Tommy paced the floor of their room that afternoon while the boys looked on miserably, "He yanked at his hair." "Maybe 1.don't belong in show business , .

There's nothing magic to it. All you need is courage and taste and money." "Yeah," Hammy said "and we're loaded taste." somes Tommy didn't hear this. -He- didn't-want to, "We've got plenty of talent. Let's sign ourself up. A lot of months ago we came to this town and devoted our lives to the theatre. We got the brush from every producer in New York, We've got.a satchel full of talent and no place to display it. So we build. our own showcase," Hammy sat up. "Have you for- gotten about money?" Ray nodded. "Or are you plan- ning to win a raffle?" Tommy heard that. Slowly, his shoulders sagged. He nodded and turned away. "Yeah, you're right, It's no good." I'm just blowing bubbles again.

It was Barbara Jo who took piano lessons from Penny's father, Tom- my had met her. the other day. He patted her shoulder. "Well what's your claim?" For answer, she bawled louder, "Aw come on, it can't be that bad." : Heartbrokenly Barbara Jo said, what hap-- pened." "Well," Tommy pointed out reasonably, "Something awful just happened to me too but am 1 crying?" "You're- a bho-oy!" : Then she sort of pulled herself together, "It's not me 80 much," she wail- ed, "I've seen it, .But some of the other kids . . . they never even been there and those old trus- tees , . } "The who?" "The Board of Trustees." She was highly indignant now. "They promised we were going to the country for two whole weeks . . ." She dissolved again, "and now they come around and say they can't give us the money." Tommy sighed sadly for her. "Aw _ well, what do you care? You're still young.

"And we were gonna-see cows and brooks . «and milk 'em , . and every- thing." "You mean they backed out?" Tonmmy looked deliriously happy now.. "Why I've never heard of such a thing." . He jumped to his fect. © "How dare they do that! Come on. We'll see about this." They were just going inside when - they bumped into Penny. She asked, "See about what?" * * ° By this time, Tommy was sav- ing all of humanity. "Why these poor little kids that never get any sunlight; or see 'a blade of grass, or a babbling brook or a blue- bird flit from tree tc tree." His" arms were spread wide. "What's: happened to the milk of human kindness? Where is he?" ; Penny. and . Barbara. Jo were both watching him in awe, "Who?"
