Suggestions.
If, when you make your aprons
for the kitchen, nursery, or sewing
room, you choose a pattern which
makes the skirt of the apron the
same width at the top and bottom
cat the belt and hem), you will have
two aprons from the same material.
The upper part wears thin much
sooner than the lower part. When this
occurs, rip the hem out and reverse
the apron, putting the hemmed part
into the belt and hemming the part
that was in the belt. Think of this
when you cut your next aprons
Did you get a lot of pretty coIored
handk erchiefS for Christmas? One
girl, thinking such gifts too pretty for
ordinary use, is wearing a few of them
as vests, with her suit and sweaters.
Maybe you have dainty colors that
match the colors of the "hankys." Try
the combination.

DANGER IN WORKING
NEAR POWER LINES

1t Is sometimes feared that the
erection of an aerial for a wireless
receiving set Is a dangerous opera
ton. This is true only when the
aerial is erected in the vicinity of
power or high tension lines. In
such a case great care must be
taken to keep clear of the power
lines.
In Cleveland recently a father
and son were both killed when the
aerial which they were erecting
short circuited the power lines of
lighting company because the
men were so. careless as to throw
the aerial across the lines and
grasp the ends from the other side
Where there is any possibility
of coming in contact with power
lines a rope should be attached to
the ends of the aerial and nothing
but this rope handled until the
aerial wire is clear.
The best practice is to avoid
crossing or having an aerial wire
near high tension lines. Such lines
affect the clear reception of radio
signals and are a constant danger.
