Kathleen Norris writes of Ann in Boston a wife trapped by a rich family and jealous wifehood. The answer urges Ann to leave the stifling home, seek work among working women in wartime industries, and reclaim self respect through independent effort.
Ann, trapped between a rich family and war, seeks independence through work or military service. Miss Norris argues she should study seriously to improve herself so she can reclaim a place beside her husband upon his return.
A reflection on Ann, wife of Herbert, as a childless, temporarily husbandless young woman within elite circles. The piece contrasts possible assistance from in‑laws with her lack of fit, urges self‑education in manners and literature, and imagines a return to stability through thoughtful conduct and occasional family contact after the war.
An industrial study shows the accident rate in one aircraft plant for 11 months of 1943 at 5.52 per 1,000 for both men and women. Increases in female accidents often reflect more inexperienced workers, poor machine guarding, or lack of safety training, while production speed-ups also raise accident frequencies.
reader digest style items recount social jests from wartime service and politics. A bus boy tale, induction missteps, tax debates on racing versus nightlife, plus notes on poets, novelists, and theater figures. Strong names include Reader's Digest, Jimmy Walker, LaGuardia, Mead, Ausland er, and Crowell.
Erving Cummings advocates actor oriented directing citing stage and screen work on What a Woman and My Gal Sal. He details directing Jean Arthur and Lee Bowman in The Inpatient Years, guiding first days, easing stage fright, and aiming for steady progression to climax for authentic tempo. He notes Alec Templeton in Cabbages and Kings and Barbara Stanwyck rivalry gossip amid film industry chatter.
The piece notes how draft rules will trim hitting and elevate pitching, predicting 30 win pitchers and .400 hitters may recur. Mort Cooper and Spud Chandler are highlighted as top contenders though facing weaker opposition. Whit Wyatt, when healthy, could join elite pitchers alongside Cooper and Chandler, with 1942 and last season ERAs cited.
Since 1912 two pitchers lead earned run averages by a wide margin. Grover Cleveland Alexander tops the list with 1015 earned runs given up across seasons 1.22 in 1916 and 1.55 in 1919 among others, while Walter Johnson closely trails with stellar seasons including 1.14 in 1913 and 1.28 in 1918. Both were masters of control, shutting out many games and earning high praise from peers.
The article argues that top players like Grover Cleveland Alexander and others return strong after military service and drafts. It cites Alexander’s 1919 season with a 1.72 ERA at age 32 and 363 innings, and notes stars such as Feller, DiMaggio, Williams, Snead, and Hogan will still have big years ahead. It suggests baseball may endure alongside other sports amid training difficulties and wartime disruption.
The article offers household hacks such as painting tobacco tins to store knitting yarn, a DIY right angle brush from a broken handle, using a trouser hanger to aid cookbook pages, prolonging rubber wear by avoiding light heat grease and solvent, and repurposing an old wax applicator with a fabric sock for renewed use. The tone reflects practical, step by step advice typical of mid century home manuals.
A family learns of twins as Little Johnny’s mother reveals the arrival. Father encourages a day off if he tells his teacher. Johnny returns home proud claiming a holiday but confesses only a baby sister story, saving the second twin for next week.
