When YOU make your first essay at
| dressmaking, it is wisdom to cling closely
70 the pattern and its directions for cut
ting and making; but, when use has
brought greater familiarity, there is no
reason why you may not introduce some
original features, suggested perhaps by
the design OF your material, adapting the
pattern TO the fabric. For instance. ii
the material is striped, you may cut the
front panel OF princess gown or skirt
with the stripes running across instead
OF up and down.

Although its owner has. been
long time dead, Eli Whitney is
name which will last as long as the
world treasures the memories of its
great inventors. Today Is the Hath
anniversary of the birth of the Gre

Mass, was his birthplace. He grad

the expenses of his education partly
by school teaching and partly by me-
chanical labor.
Upon leaving college he determin-

Finding a generous patron in the
widow of Gen Greene. of Revolution

intention of teaching, and resided on

The latent inventive genius of
Whitney soon found an object for its
attention He observed that cotton
culture at this period was limited by
the slow and difficult work Of sep
aratng the cotton from the seed by
hand. Laboring under great disad-
vantages Whitney set about to rem
edy this condition. After much pa
tent toll and racking of the brain,
he discovered the principles of the
cotton gin. Reports of his success
were bruited abroad. and prompted

Whitney formed a partnership with
a man named Miller and went to Con-
necticut in 1893 to engage in the
manufacture of cotton gins. Imme-

by the unscrupulous wretches who

and the legal defense of his rights
carried off all the profits and some
| $50. 900 voted him by the state of
! South Carolina.
In 1898 Whitney obtained "a govern
ment contract for the manufacture Of
firearms and was the first to affect

part was made separately by skilled

They rushed to the building to find it
