Patterns

Tucks and cuts newly added to the pattern of U.S. life:

> To glamour girls OPA addressed a communique: "Such long-established practices as sending up clouds of powder during camouflage operations, scooping up huge handfuls of cold cream, spraying a cloud of perfume to walk through must go." There won't be enough cosmetics to go around unless make-up is applied with a sparing hand.

> To replace drafted guards, Hudson Motor Car Co. began hiring big girls(5 ft. 10 and over), training them in pistol shooting and jujitsu, swore them in as auxiliary military police.

> Workingmen's clothes will have fewer frills, pockets, buttons and buckles under a new WPB order. Estimated annual saving: 21 million yards of cloth, 125 million yards of thread, 150 million buttons, 12 million buckles.

> Athens (Ala.) College students now can win a year's scholarship by collecting 1,000 pairs of old silk or nylon stockings. The stockings provide reweaving material for local hosiery mills, where more than a third of the students work their way through school.
