HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK

At Clothing Clinics" that were
recently conducted in Sussex coun-
ty. as part of the Home Demon
stration Agents Economy" pro-
gram for 1888 a total of 53 garments
were carried home by their owners,
destined to take their place in the
spring and summer wardrobe with II
new face" rather than the same old
forlorn looking garment thai
thought it had served "its day" By
tearing apart; cutting off corners:
turning upside down, changing
sleeves, neck lines, collars, belts;
the addition of a bit of color and
buttons; redying and making many
other possible changes that were
suggested by Mrs. Helen Mckinley.
State Home Demonstration Leader,
these garments will not be recog-
nized, when spring comes, as the
same ones that have already been
used for several seasons.
Women who had no particular
make over" problem just at this
time attended these clinics and OBJ
served for the purpose of having
certain information relative to re-
nOvating and remodeling old gar
ments when they might have a need
for it.
At this particular time it is quite
the stylish" thing to economize on
all four corners of the homes fl
naneiaI budget. Clothing is one of
these corners and should be given
much more consideration than it is
at the present time.
1t is true that there is a very
small percentage of the bulk Of
clothing worn. that is made at home.
During the past ~ or Is years, wo-
men have learned to use their time
for other things largely and spend
very little of it on the bulk of
home sewing, with the result that
most garments are bought ready
made" In many instances, where
there have not been sufficient funds
in the clothing budget to pay the
price of good quality material and
well made garments. cheaper ones
have been bought in their places.
The same thing is true now. People
are still depending on the manufac-
turing world for the bulk of their
garments. One so often hears such
a remark as 1T is not worth the
time and effort on the part of the
house wife TO make garments when
they can be bought, ready made, so
This statement is not true,
il is a mental attitude.
1t is true that cheap garments
can be bought, but they are just
what their price indicates-"eheap."
They do not wear well as compared
10 home made garment that has
been made of good, color fast ma
Lerial and put together with good
workmanship, for the same price as
he Cheap" ready made one. DOu-
BILE money can be spent by just this
.ype of unwise buying. The time rs
here when women must realize that
home sewing" and remOdeling will
mean real economy and that if they
have not yet learned to sew, it is
not too late. The State Extension
has special trained"
service to help with these clothing
problems ii il is desired. The local

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
WHISTLE

Little Tootsie, the newest rabbit
child that had come to live with
Uncle Wiggily in his hollow stump
bungalow, was hopping around in
the yard looking for her daddy.
Some of Uncle Wiggily's little bum
ny children were always looking for
him to play with them or make
them some toy or do something.
Uncle Wiggily never knew just
how many rabbits ne had. He could
not keep count of them, there were
so many. Often, when he would go
adventuring, he would come home
and sit down on the sofa. And Of
ten new little rabbit would hop
out from under it and say:
Hello, Daddy!"
"Hello!" Uncle Wiggily would an

went away this morning. What's
your name?"
And the new little rabbit that
had come to live with the bunny
gentleman might say:
II am Tootsie, or Rootsie, or
Bootsie, or Cootsie," whichever 1t
might be.
That's fine!' Uncle Wiggliy
would say and then he would twin

ROCK WRITING
AIDS EXPERTS

BEND, Ore, Aug. 8. UP)-Assist-
ance in tracing the wanderings Of
aborigineS over western America
may be gained by recent discover
les of ancient rock writings on the
shores of a prehistoric lake in
southern Oregon.
The unusual rock writings, found
in an isolated sector Of Lake Coun-
ty, were described by DR.. L. S
Gresham, Oregon university ethnol-
ogist. as the oldest ever discovered
in the state. They are of the
style known to students of the sub
ject of petroglyphs.
Originally deeply chiseled on the
rock cliffs overlooking an ancient
lake bed, the writings have
been obliterated in places by CEN
turtles and centuries of weathering
The petroglyphs were found carved
along miles of cliffs and on shell
tered slopes.
In one place it was discovered
that the rock writings had been
traced with paint.
So significant does DR.. Gresham
consider the find that he hopes 1t
may be possible to have the region
studied further by a field party.

HARTFORD, Conn. Aug. 8.U.P-
Universal fingerprinting is in Off

for such steps, Squires said.
"Of course, there will be opposi-

fear fingerprinting," said Squires.

of mixed identities. Victims OF
amnesia readily would be identified
when found in strange cities, and

Holy Year Will
Honor St. Peter

VATICAN CITY, Aug. 8. W.P)-
Holy Year will be commemorated
in a special way in the basilica OF
st. Peters by the completion OF a
mosaic inscription recalling the
life and sayings of st. Peter, which
was begun in 1867, but never I'm
iShed.
The inscription consisting OF
Greek and Latin texts from the
gospels relative to ST. Peter, runs
around the inside of st. Peter S
Cathedral under the cornice.
In 1867, on the occasion of the
centenary of st. Peter, the in
scription was placed under the
cornice OF the apse and in part
of the cr1Ss-shaped aisles.
The band OF mosaic carrying the
Inscriptions is nearly seven feet
wide, and runs around the church
for 2,40O feet. There are some
1000 square feet still to cover, and
about l6 tons of enamel will be
used.
The work will be carried out by
the Vatican School of Mosaic Work
by the end of Holy Year.

en- the edge of which grew a slip
perry elm tree. Uncle Wiggily cut
off branch about as large around
as your thumb. He whitfield the
end thin in the shape of whistle
so it would fit easily in Tootsie' S
mouth.
Then the rabbit gentleman cIt

Next he pounded the bark with the
handle of his knife, to loosen it,
I mean to loosen the bark. And
when the piece of bark came off
after while, hollow like a bean
blower, Mr. Longears shaved off
some of the white wood beneath
the bark to make a place for the
sound to gather itself, and he
shaved a bit off the mouth end vi
the stick SO Tootsie could blow her
breath in and at last the elm whis-
tie was nicely finished even ii it
wasn't Spring"
Let me hear you blow said
Uncle Wigg:ly.
"Tootl Tootl Toot!" blew Tootsic
/ on her whistle.
"Finel" said Uncle Wiggily, laugh
ing.
Tootsie was so pleased with her
whistle that, when it came time
for her to go to bed she took 1t
with her.
What do you want with whis-
tie at night?" asked Nurse Jane
as che put Tootsie 10 bed
"Oh. Tn JUS going TO put it on
the little table at the head of niy
bed, where you leave my drink of
water for the night" said Tootsle.
Then I can get my whistle the
first thing in the morning"

In the middle Of the night when
it was ali dark and quiet in the
hollow stump bungalow, and when
everybody was asleep, Little Tootsie
awakened. She reached out in the
dark to get a drink of water, but,
instead, she picked up her whistle.
And, before she knew it., half asleep
as she was, she had blown loudly
on it: "Tootl Tootl Toot!"
ooh, my goodness" squeaked
Nurse Jane. The bungalow must
be on firel I hear the fire en-
gines whistlingl" But it was only
Tootsie, and when Uncle Wiggily
found this out he went in and took
Tootsie's whistle away from her
for the night. He gave her a drunk
and she weat hack to sleep again
! and everything was fine and dandy.
And if the camel will take off his

I grow up I am going to be a traf-

Please make me one"
"All right, I'll try" said Uncle
Wiggily. ut is rather late in The
year to make a whistle. Whistles
are best made in the spring, for
then the bark on the tree stick
from which must make a whistle

off. Willow sticks make the bes.

ARTHUR p. DAVIS

JUST month ago Imperial Valley was
y pleased by receipt of report that
Arthur Powell Davis had been named
as consulting engineer on the Boulder
dam project.
Today comes the news that the emf
nent engineer died yesterday at Oakland,
after brief illness.
AT the time of his appointment as con-
sulting engineer on Boulder dam, The
Press commented as follows:
Residents of Imperial Valley recall
the part Davis played a decade or more
ago when the fight for construction of
the dam was getting under way.
''As head of the United States Reclaim
alton Service, Davis, was vitality inter-
ested in the Colorado river development
project and from the start advocated
construction of high dam at Boulder
canyon or vicinity.
I'm 1922 he wrote report favoring
a high dam and advocating the develop
ment of power by the government. Many
of the suggestions embodied in this re-
port were incorporated by Senator john
son and Representative Swing in their
bill for construction of the dam, and it
was introduced into congress with the
eventual result known to all valley resi-
dents.
Davis incurred the wrath of the Hard
ing administration and to get rid of him,
Hubert Work, at that time secretary of
the interior, abolished the office of di-
rector of reclamation, which Davis had
held since 1914. His dismissal was con-
sidered severe blow to the hopes of I'M
perial Valley, but not even this setback
ia 70 M, n,..1of #
Boulder dam.
while it is probably stretching
things bit too far to call Davis the
father of the dam, none can dispute
the statement that he was one of the
first men who could visualize the inn
portance of the dam and its accompany
ing features
The engineers final month on earth
must have been made happy, despite his
poor health, by the honor which the ma
tional government accorded him in max
ing him consultant on the dam. 1t was
vindication for the injustice dealt him 10
years ago.
Imperial Valley has lost a staunch
friend, who was friend when friend
ship was badly needed.
The marines have been withdrawn from
Haiti, thereby removing another subject

State Will Tab
Habits OF Trout

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 8. (U.D
The Connecticut department of
fisheries and game now is under
taking to check up on its plan to
determine something of the migra-
tory habits of trout.
Last spring, before the trout
season opened, agents placed small,
numbered celluloid discs under the
scales of 10000 trout The fish
were then planted in various
trout streams of the state, with
accurate data kept on where each
was released. Fishermen then were
asked TO watch for the tagged fish,
and report to the department on
each caught, stating where it was
taken. In order TO stimulate inter-
est, prizes were offered.
When the trout season closed
July IA, the department had receiv-
ed more than $500 reports. A su-
perficial study indicates trout move
unsupported distances. Some were
taken at points SO miles from where
