Her Homes are America's Secret \(/eapon

Just as men who work in war industries are needed to back up those in uniform, women who keep homes comfortable and attractive are needed to back up the workers. The responsibilities of home making have been greatly increased by the war, according to a Norttrern and Southern California Homes Foundation statement.

"Women are using unaccustomed tools for the odd jobs which they used to turn over to the man of the house," say Bernard B. Barber and Orrie W. Hamilton, chairmen of the Foundation. "They are learning to patch plaster as well as they patch clothes; they are finding, as many other \ilomen who have gone into production plants have found, that there is a lot of satisfaction in the successful handling of tools, and that they can be just as deft with hammer and saw as they have been with broom and duster.

"The principle of repair or alternation as a first necessity of conservation is natural to women, and they are usually the first to see the ways in which their homes can be made more livable with little cost, and with little use of prohibitive materials.

"Many retail lumber and building material dealers are taking a direct and cooperative interest in the remodeling and repairing jobs undertaken by the homemakers in their communities. They have designs and patterns for cabinet work and furniture building; and are making a specialty of the cut lengths and specially turned pieces needed.

"Any clever woman may don overalls and do all the work required to make a bright, modern kitchen like the one shown here, and in doing so know that she is helping build the morale of her family of war workers-that her home is one of the millions of bright, cheerful, happy homes which are America's secret weapon, the chief incentive lor winning the war."

ONE PET PEEYE of many housewives . . . rightfully is I lack of centrally-located cupboards for cooking utensils and staple foods. There is one sure cure for this condition the installation of modern, compact kitchen cabinets.

There are almost unlimited shapes, sizes, and styles of modern titcben cabinem that can be built by or for you . or purchased ready-to-install. Since the kitchen is one of the most used rooms in a house it should be planned for maximum efficiency and comfort.

Materials required to build a set of new kitchen cabinets arc plentiful. There is no shortage of wood and the few nails, screwg and small hardware itcms used shouldn't drain our supply of "critical" materials. The Government recommends home improvements during thc War as long as the work is done with a minimum use of metal.
