Hand soap bins in both bll and llttle grocery stores are gaping like wide open mouths with sloth- in: in them. The well-known brands have vanished almost com- pletely. and even those that have never been seen before are being snapped up. “Haven't you any hand soap even?" the manager of one store was asked. . “Hand soap?" he said. And tllat was the end to that conversation. Another one said, "Oh. sul-e don't come at the right time.” A wicked twinkle came into his eye when he was asked when the right time was.

Housewives for some time have been complaining about the lack of soup flakes and laundry soap, but a new quirk has been develop- ing the last week or so. Not only are there no soap flakes. soap pow- ders. scalp chips and soap for ivash- ing out the family lines, but now ordinary soap for washing hands Housewives are reportedly com- pletely stymied now. Some of ‘thcm caught onto the knack of cutting shavings from bar soap for wash- ing out their silks and rayons. It was a lot of work but it did ill-lp. If there's no blr soap either, they're wondering if they're lrehnc to have to save their own fats and ashes and make some of their own. There is also the problem of the nerks and ears of their young oft- spring. It looks to them as ;f the atom age is going to produce a dirty-faced generation, MODERATION aasr While admitting the comforting effect of smoking on adults ac- customed to it. health authorities condemn excessive smoking. This, they point out. can cause a tiresome chronic cough and catarrh, and will have a detrimental effect on endurance by making the heart irritable, with consequent onset of fatigue. Moderation is advised in smoking as in all activities. The love charm of the Maori 'peopie of New Zeal-and, known as “hel tiki," usually is carved of nephyrite. HASTENS RECOVERY An adequate protein diet will cut down the time necessary. for convalescence after illness. When you are serving potato chips. pour them from the bag into a pan and place in the oven for about five minutes. The chi-gs will then be extra crisp and delicious. The same applies to ready-to-eat cereals. iii JELLYING TFST The pectin test for determining time to add sugar to juice may be made with either alcohol or epsom salts.

That was the pat- ter of raindrops against the pane "I wonder" he asked himself "when the moon shifts".
