When the engine is dead or run

rent from the battery. When the
engine is speeded up the lights usu-
ally take current direct from the

stated 10 appears that your battery
is not sufficiently strong to afford
bright lights. Perhaps IL will not
hold the charge. Would suggest
that YOU have the battery inspected
and tested at the regular service

remove the cover occasionally

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
Every woman knows how much she
can. save by making her own clothes.
bNt % many of US in Washington are
working that we think we cannot make
our ciothes have discovered q
scheme by which l can make my
dresses with very little trouble and
without the use of a sewing machine
The openings of dress are always
hardest to make, so have done away
with openings In both skirts and waists
By sewing together waist and skirt
with casing and running elastic
through the casing. The entire dress
can then be slipped on over the head,
and there 10 not an opening to put
hooks and eyes on or make buttonhoios
In I just last week made over a wool
drs0 and made II entirely by hand.
ustnS silk and wool yarn for trimming
could not have made the dreas ty
hand had I not used elastic to avoid
plAckets, 20 I saved several doliTSs on
the making Of the dress. For silk
dresses. this Ia also the best method
to use. and also one 10 never worried
about whether the openipgss may b
gaping open. AL kinds Of waists may
ALSO be made in this manner, and the
making Of them by hand Is not much
more than doing fancy work.
