Better Care Of School
Clothing By Children
Helps Nation Win War
While providing the wardrobe
is a mother’s job, keeping it in
good condition should be a task
shared by the little wearer, es
pecially now. Much of the damage
done to clothes, and much of the
soiling, is due to childish careless
ness and thoughtlessness.
However, by the time a child
reaches school age he can be
taught that he, too, has a respon
sibility to the war effort, and that
making his clothes last as long
as possible is one way he has of
fighting the enemy. There are few
children whose patriotism will not
respond to this appeal.
One mother, who knows the
average length of wear that her
little son’s socks and suits will
give under ordinary circumstances
has offered her boy a “bonus”
for every extra week of wear he
gets out of his clothes. The bonus
is a war savings stamp, which em
phasizes the fact that he is mak
ing a real contribution toward vic
tory.

MILITARY INFLUENCE
Many of the Jacket Tunics that
will be worn by school girls this
fall are derived from the jackets
worn by military heroes. Done in
bright red over a plaid skirt, the
owner can take pride in the fash
ion origin and carry it through to
regimental stripes for decorations.

Many a bike owned by a school
age boy or girl is looked at with
longing now by dad or mother who
must sacrifice some of their free
use of the family car because of
priority rated automobile trans
portation.
It may have to be shared with
dad and mother. At least, the
school age boy and girl can use
it not alone for their own conven
ience, but to run errands for moth
er and dad this fall. That will
save them many a weary step.
Meanwhile, the fortunate owner
of a bike will make safety first
his rule. Out for the duration are
curb jumping, riding over instead
of around obstacles, and many
ether dubious stunts that are hard
on rubber.
Bicycle tires, too, must be saved.
For top perfomance the bike
should be kept clean and oiled.
Tire pressure should be checked
frequently because over-inflation or
under-inflation can do as much
damage to bicycle tires as to auto
mobile tires.
From official sources comes the
advice that new lightweight tires
require about 60 pounds of pres
sure while the old balloon casings
take only 22 pounds.
Brakes, too, should be tested and
occasionally the bike should be
taken to the bicycle repair shop
for inspection.

Plan Better Lighting
For Childrens Sake
To aid you in checking and main
taining proper standards of lighting
in your home, many of the electric
companies and other local agencies,
have advisors who can help you to
provide economical and attractive
lighting arrangements in your home.
The problem of maintaining good
lighting conditions in the home has
not been affected too much by the
war time priorities situation. This
problem—not always one oS mate
rials—is often satisfactorily solved
by proper arrangements and utili
zation of available equipment.
Plastics And Fabrics
Replace Shoe Leather
Fabric treated to withstand per
spiration and moisture and plas
tic counters will take the place of
leather for linings and structural
parts of some children’s shoes.
These materials may be consid
ered alternate rather than substi
tutes. for great strides have been
made in the development of new
materials. Manufacturers of chil
dren’s shoes have the facilities to
meet the needs of children every
where.

First and most important ob
jective at which wise parents will
aim during the selection of the
young man’s back to school ward
robe for this year,—whether that
young man is going to grade
school, high school or college—is
wearability, which means quality.
With wool, the basic ingredient
of men’s and boys’ clothing, now
on a limited allotment basis, the
same conservation restrictions that
have been applied to clothes dad
wears have been made equally
applicable to the clothes father’s
sons are going to wear.
These conservation restrictions,
however, are anything but oner
ous.' They have, of course elimi
nated old favorites like patch pock
ets, pleats, and the universal cuffs
in favor of plain bottom trousers
on the woolen clothes the younger
man will wear.
But these changes have served
to introduce a brand new war-time
styling for men’s clothes, which
patriotic youngsters should hail in
their customarily enthusiastic
fashion as affording them an op
portunity to play#a part in the
drive toward Victory.
Many New Fabrics
Efforts to conserve the nation’s
supply of woolens to provide for
the needs of our armed forces,
and to guard against possible fu
ture shortages, have brought about
a development of new fabrics for
suitings and coats.
These new fabrics are a blending
of other fibers, principally syn
thetics, with natural wools, which
result in handsome and durable
clothes for young men of textures
that are sometimes new to the
touch.
Though the average consumer
may not at first contact recognize
these fabrics as new, modern lab
eling will quickly make that clear,
for modern labeling is designed to
bring the consumer specific infor
tation with respect to what he is
buying.
And alert storekeepers are in a
position not only to explain the
merits of the new fabrics, but also
ere equipped with authoritative in
formation for parents on how to
take care of what they buy, and
how to make it last longer.
Therefore, despite the changes
that have come into the field of
men’s wear, no parent need be
unaware of exactly what is being
purchased, or how to make the
back to school” budget produce
its full money’s worth.
Supply Is Generous
Indications are quite clear right
now, that buying of wardrobes for
boys going back to school will be
very heavy, spurred on by the
feeling that this may be the last
chance for a long time to acquire
the all woolens” which parents
by long experience of the hard
wear that youngsters give their
clothes feel their school boys must
have.
Back to school clothing contain
ing generous amounts of wool are
still available in the stores of re
tailers who wisely stocked their
racks with coats and suits and
trousers of long wearing quality,
in deep realization of the fact
that proper planning of the school
youth’s war time school season
wc- an important contribution that
they would have to make to the
maintenance on the home front.
The importance of careful and
complete selection of the back to
school boy’s wardrobe for this year
must encompass careful considera
tion for warmth and health, as
well as for durability, and this
too has been provided for in the
styling changes that will be wel
comed by the back to school boys
of 1942.
Fashions for back to school boys
as always follow the good old
principle of “like father, like son”
whether it is the very young or
the older boys of whom you are
thinking. '

Buy For Home Without
Sabotaging War Needs
“Buy what you need” is the rule
of the day, and what you need to
make your home comfortable and
inviting is what you should buy so
long as it does not interfere with
the prior requirements of our armed
forces.
“Take care of what you have—
and make it last longer” is the
other rule of the day. Waste noth
ing. A comfortable inviting home is
one that will inspire school children
to help mother make things last
longer.
Home is what we are fighting for.

WAR WITH APS
Home Atlasses Help To
Clarify World Situation
For School Pupils
An important part of the home
equipment of the modern school
child is either a world globe or
world war map, over which they
may pore at leisure to better un
derstand what they learn in their
classes about the momentous events
now occurring in the world, the
tremendous problems that perhaps
they will have to help solve later.
Maps and globes and atlasses are
available in a vast variety of sizes
and prices. The maps and globes are
decorative as w'ell as informative,
and the psychological effect of
having them at home, as well as at
school, is conducive to learning.
Among atlasses being published
today and especially useful for
school children is an inexpensive
but highly detailed and informative
edition by Hammond, accompanied
by a certificate which, when filled
out and mailed will bring the owner
a supplement after the peace treaty
has been signed, showing the new
boundaries as of the end of the
war. Most book stores will have it.
