Be sure that you have your material
cut inches square, as each of the quilt
blocks are exact size. Select any tone
material you like for the background of
the blocks. AS some of the flowers are
embroidered in white, the designer sug-
gests the use of an ivory tinted material.
Merely clip each pattern from the
paper, trace it on the material you select
through carbon paper, then embroider
according to the instructions that win be
printed beneath each block each week.

The end of the 18th amendment
by sunrise tomorrow appeared like
ly today when voters of six states
passed on ratification of the 21st
(repeaD amendment.
Thirty-three states already have
repudiated the legislation that 13
years ago launched America on an
! unprecedented crusade to end the
evil of drink. Only the reputation
of three of the six states voting to-
day was needed to signal the de-
parture of prohibition.
The states voting today were Ken
lucky, North and South Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah. The
results of Utah, North Carolina and
South Carolina were expected to be
close.
If the repealists are victorious,
their objective cannot become an
actuality until Dec. S or 6. Today's
elections are to name delegates TO
state conventions which either will
ratify or refuse to ratify the re-
peal amendment. The last of these
conventions will be held Dec. and
6.
If today's balloting brings repeal,
