THE INVENTORS PATIENCE

In his address honoring Thomas
A. Edison, for the 5Oth anniversary
of the perfection of the incandescent
lamp, President Hoover spoke. of
what protracted and patient industry
is necessary in producing new in
ventions. The structure of knowl-
edge is built up, he said, not stone
by stone, but particle by particle.
Most people who have done great
work in life have had to exercise
the same illimitable patience that
was displayed by Mr.. Edison as he
toiled over the electric light prob
lem. They have had to try and try.
After innumerable experiments, they
would begin to see how they could
make the forces Of nature help them.
People who succeed in business
have this same endless patience. The
most of us get discouraged and quit
after we have failed once or twice.
But the man who has real power
never abandons a line of effort I'M
less he has absolutely proved it is
hopeless.

The time required tc roast meat of
any kind depends largely on the tenn

Health worth more

TIME baby to be envied is the one

And who's lucky enough to have a
mother who knows how to build
up this fortune.
Perhaps I'm old-fashioned," she'll

her child physically 10o% at a baby
show, but this health certificate
means more to me than all the stock

ing to leave it to him to make
career and fortune for himself.
Already I'm teaching him the value
ofregular habits. Regular sleep, reg
uIar meals, regular functions. He's
never once been off schedule, not
even when he was cutting teeth or
travelling to the country. I make
sure of that by giving him Nujol

Nujol works so easily and naturally
that it won't upset a baby under
any conditions. It keeps everything
functioning properly. 1t not only

inevitable, which accounts for the gor-

the black duvetyne long-coat suit in
the picture. This blouse should prove
an inspiration to a seeker of the

ceedingly fine black, red and white
heads, achieving irregular, stripes.
Perhaps the blouse which occurs
most frequently with the modish black
suit is the one made of eggshell satin.
Styling interest focuses to a great ex-
tent to the hemline which shows odd
ly draped and shirred effects, also soft
bow ties. The swathed hipline is also
observed in many blouse modes.
With the black velvet jacket and
skirt, smart afternoon vogue features
a sleeveless blouse of supple metal
cloth, either plain or brocaded. This
fashion is one of the most highlighted
themes Of the present season. Often
color CLEANS through the gold or sill
yer weave, as for instance in blue
and silver brocade or a green and gold
plaided design.
While many of the metal blouses are
sleeveless the majority of the satin
crepe and printed velvet types have
long, rather tight-fitting sleeves. Clev-
er side fastenings, gilets and jabots
detail most of the new models.
Two novelties in the autumn blouse

lace type, the latter as filmy and eX-
Quisitely delicate as one can conceive.

sleeve without any seam on the Shout
der. Therefore, before the under-arm
seams are sewn up the top can be laid
fiat on table and the trimming piece
fitted to it, basted, and stitched in
place.
The skirt Of green poplin, matching
the trimming. is on thin white under
waist so that it hangs from the Shout
ders. Mother put an inch-wide tuck
in this waist, so that the skirt can be
let down as the little girl grows. The
tuck is stitched twice, half an inch
apart, with long loose stitch. When
the first row of stitching is taken out
the skirt drops an inch, and 1t will
be possible to lengthen it as much
more at another time. An equal growth
allowance should be made in the hem
of the blouse, either by means of a
broad hem, or generous piece turned
inside the hem.
Large round buttons, fastened by
crocheted or cord loops form the front
closing. They can be easily found and
managed by the little girl herself. Pro-
vision for self-help is always an inn
portant feature of garments designed

bureau has no patterns to distribute,
but any mother could easily adapt
kimono type pattern to fit her child.
Any preferred combination of cotton
materials might be used, for example,
plain broadcloth for the skirt and trim
mings, and printed zephyr for the
blouse. Boomers or panties matching
the darker material should be made.
