Wheat Conference
Session

LONDON. May p. up - The
world wheat conference was forced
TO postpone today's plenary session
until tomorrow due TO the inability
Of its subcommittee TO complete
work on the proposals for solution
OF the international grain crisis.
While no official word was per-
mitted 10 leak from the committee
rooms. the general impression
among observers was that the COM
mittee was deadlocked on the di-
vergent plans suggested by Rus
STA and the United States.
The postponement emphasized
the diversity of opinion regarding
export quotas and how they shall
be calculated.

IN OUR

WE REFUSE TO become either
hot or bothered over press an
nouncements Of the threatened alb
andonment Of Fort Brown.
First: These border posts are
necessary. not because Of any pos
sible friction between the United
States n Mexico. but because the
border always has attracted a GER
tain portion of the lawless element
Of both countries, and until both
sides OF the river are more thickly
settled than az present. the border
will continue 10 attract that law
less element.
Second: Hon. r. B. Creager, high
in the councils Of the Republican
party, makes his home In the VAL
ley. and will certainly WELD his
influence on the side Of historic
Fort Brown.
Third: Hon. John Nance Garner
represents the 18th Congressional
District in the national house. and

Of abandoning an army post in the

Easy to Learn Machine Embroidery


| new art is called trim stitch. and re-
Quires no other equipment that suit
able trim stitch cotton, very coarse
| machine needle, the machine itself, and
electric or foot power.
The thread used is firmly twisted
and heavy in comparison with the
thread in general use. You can get 1t
in bright colors, such as you would
expect to find in embroidery silks and
cottons. You will require machine
needle capable of carrying 20 to 80
six-cord thread. Secure boilfast col
ors, so that they will go through the
laundry without injury. For outlin-
ing, monogramming initiating, or
stitching, use the trim stitch thread
on top and in the bobbin. For the
most effective work, the stitches
should run from eight to ten to the
inch. Two contrasting colors, such as
blue or green on top and yellow or
orange in the bobbin are effective.
Smoking is beautiful for dress
yokes, for sleeves, for holding skirt
fullness, for smocks, and for fine
dresses of sheer fabric. For this
work, adjust the stitch to seven or
eight to the inch, and have an ordi-
nary tension. Use size "a white, six
cord thread in the bobbin. AS these
bobbin threads are the ones you will
have to pull when it comes to the
shirring, they will need to be strong.
Group your trim stitch colors as you
would for hand shocking, and stitch
the rows true, so that when shirred
up they will be perfectly even. When
all the rows are in, stitch across one
end to hold them securely. Then,
from the opposite end shir the stitch
ing up, pulling the bobbin threads
only, drawing them up at the same
time.
For tablecloths and napkins, this
machine embroidery way is an easy
method Of initiating or monogramming.
In initiating bath towels use large in
itials and stitch twice around each
line. For table linen, use white trim
stitch, with from two to six rows Of
stitching close together. Whenever q
tailored stitching line is desirable, as
on the edges of the collars shown In
the SKETCH several even rows Of one
color or of contrasting colors are eff
fective.

Child's Rain Hat of ShoWer-P Proof
Fabric.
Is designed for a 2O-inch head size
but may be made smaller by taking in
the seams.
A beret is always a satisfactory
head covering for child of three or
more, in fact, for school child of
almost any age. A boys beret is made
slightly smaller than a girls, but
otherwise from the same design. Cot
ton suede was used for making the
beret illustrated, but any soft wooden
fabric which will allow fullness to be
smoothly gathered in will do. For
spring wear, the beret should be light
weight. If new material is used, half
yard of wooden fabric and quarter
of yard Of lining are sufficient.
Berets, however, are very successfully
made from parts Of adults clothing
that is no longer useful.
The beret consists of four crown
sections, bias band, and a lining.
The curved outer edge of each of
the four crown sections is gathered
until it measures five inches Zone
fourth of the head size required, which
In this case is 20 inches), and then
stitched to the bias fold that fits
around the head. ALI fullness along

Children's Hats Can Be Made at Home

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)-wNUs Service.
Here are two attractive hats for
children which can be made at home
very easily from a small amount Of
material. An old coat or dress might
be used for the beret, and parts OF an
old raincoat or any garment made Of
water.resistant cloth, for the rainy day
hat. The bureau Of home economics
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture, which designed these
hats, will be glad to furnish measure
ments and sketches for making both
of them.
The rain hat is not only becoming to
small boys and girls, but it is con-
structed so as to shed rain, and is
made of water-repellent cloth. The
brim can be rolled back or left down
In front, while the long back covers
the back of the neck and protects 1t
from rain. Many children of three
to six years of age wear rain-proof
play suits made of the same sort of
material, and with this hat may play
out of doors in any weather. The
crown Is made with six sections. The
brim is double and Is slightly stiffened
with several rows of stitches about
quarter of an inch apart. The lining
is cut from the same pattern as the
crown and is slip-stitched in. The
hat requires half a yard Of material
and a quarter Of a yard of lining. 1t

Immediately under the refrigerant. A
place for milk should also be reserved
in this section.
If you are afraid something might
be spilled from the upper shelves on
the meat, lay loose sheet of waxed
or parchment paper on top Of it.
Meat kept in a closed container or
wrapped up completely in paper has
a more advanced rate of spoilage than
meat on an uncovered dish with air
circulating about it.
Cooked meat needs almost as cold
a temperature as uncooked meat. 1t

per to prevent it from drying out too
rapidly. If there is any doubt about
keeping a piece of meat for day or
more in the home refrigerator, it is
safest to cook 1t at once and use it
