HOPKINS DISCUSSES AID
AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS
q. 8. Now Providing Assistance
From Constitutionally Used
Federal Funds.

Direct educational aid Is being pro-
vided needy young people by con-
used Federal funds for
the first time, Harry L. Hopkins,
w. p. A. administrator, said today.
Addressing 155 students from Brook
lyn City College Of New York, . con-
tingent sent for the last six years
to observe day-to.day conduct Of Gov
ernment affairs, Hopkins said he
thought those eligible for a college
education should not be deprived Of
it because their families are poor.

of the towns citizens. a pillar of re-
spectibility, and symbol OF success
to be held up to future generations.
Grant himself might. without un-
seemly boastfulness, have forecast the
same agreeable end. Since his early
childhood, son of average. respectable
farm folk, he had piled up record of
successes for himself which any man
might have pointed to with pardonable
pride.
Very early in life he had decided
that, unlike his poor parents, he would
make his way, not by being conserva-
tive, but by trusting largely to his i'm
mediate notion of what was the correct
thing to do, and accepting the conse-
quences in his stride. This philosophy
proved to be his vulnerable spot-one
can indulge a whim once too often.
X
RY THE time Grant was IA he had
mapped out his plan Of life. The
farm was all right, but he believed
that his talents lay In another direc-
ton. For four years he travelled 8
miles every day to attend high school
in town, and in the end was rewarded
by being graduated with honors.
At 18 he knew definitely that farm
life was not for him. With barely
enough money to buy food and lodg-
ings for a week. he left the farm and
rode freight trains to the State col
lege.
The way through college was not
an easy one for young Grant. Start
ing from scratch, he gathered an ag-
gregation Of small jobs which kept
him busy during practically all his free
hours away from classes. He took
chance at anything and everything
which would advance him materially.
He was, by turns, janitor, dishwasher,
tutor, salesman, soda jerker.
When the editor of the college pub
Hcation left via the sheepskm route
Grant talked the president into the
position of managing a paper. The
value of the job was not only in
prestige and partial tuition it Of
fered. but in the contacts he was able
to make.
"A FTER graduation he was more
than ever firmly convinced Of the
advisability Of taking chances When
the father Of one of his college chums
offered him the chance Of becoming
identified with his business as sales
man Grant jumped at the chance.
And, as was consistent with his for
mer record, inside OF few years
Grant had saved enough money out
of his commissions to start in busi-
ness for himself.
Going back to his home town, he
set up In business as a commission
agent for the farmers OF the vicin-
ity, handling the marketing Of their
crops and stock to city buyers. There
was one point in his favor. He knew
the farmers and their problems, and

to ask me to come this afternoon,
Mrs. Black, and I am so happy to

There may be a minute or two

You may have observed no
ticeable lack OF attention from the
One and Only during the past few
weeks. But if the dinner is sue
cess and the pie comes to the table
fresh baked and warm, you can
depend on a reverse in policy.
Such q recipe is perfect for huS-
band bait and it works not only in
holding a husband but as well in
getting one.
For a good pie a perfect crust is
essential. Use pastry flour instead
of bread flour. If you are baking
the crust before adding the cooked
filling, fit it loosely inside the pan
and press in place with a second
pie pan.
In making fruit pies there are
several ways Of preventing the fill
ing from soaking into the lower
crust. One is to brush the shell
with a slightly beaten egg white.
Another is to dust lightly with
flour before adding the fruit
blended with sugar and thicken-
ing.
These recipes have been tested
out and are guaranteed to please.
The amount Of sugar will vary &C.
cording to the type Of the fruit.
PIE PASTRY
1h cups Of flour
" cup Of shortening
u teaspoon Of salt
Ice water
Sift together the flour and salt.
Measure shortening by filling cup
half full with ice water. Add the
shortening until water reaches
the one-cup mark. Pour off the
water. Cut the shortening into
the flour until the size of grains
of rice. Then add the ice water.
This will be about 4 or table
spoons. Blend and roll. This
makes one pie shell with strips for
q lattice across the top. Chill be-
fore baking. The secret Of max
ing the pastry Is to have all in
gradients chilled and be sure not
to use too much water.

When making dart, always be
gin to haste at the bottom and
bring your markings together with
short basting stitches. Stitch care
fully and bring to sharp point so
that there is no pouching Of the
m a terial. Bring the threads
through to the wrong side and tie
them, so that the dart will not rip
out, and then slash your dart open
on the wrong side the entire
length, press it open, trim and over
cast the edges. Your dart will
then lie flat as 1t should.
DARTS IN THE SKIRT
Frequently a prominent abdo-
men requires q dart at the hip line,
extending forward from the side
seam. This dart may be made
plain, but q bit Of fullness gathered
in will lift the side seam and keep
the grain Of the fabric in an even
line around the figure, helping to
keep The hem line straight too. II
there Is a good deal Of material to
be gathered into a dart, 1t is usually
better to pleat it. Darts are use
full things to know about in dress
making. They will give fullness
over the shoulders and prevent
armhole seams from splitting, at
the same time that they give a
smooth well-fitting collar line.
Through the judicious use Of darts,
paper patterns in standard sizes
may be made to fit, regardless OF
the vagaries of the individual fig
ure.
TUCKS ARE DECORATIVE
Tucks fill both a practical and
decorative purpose. If you are
making your tuckS by hand, be
sure to make yourself a cardboard
gauge to measure by. The card
board should have two deep
notches cut in it-one marking
the depth the tucks are to be; the
other the space between the
creased edge Of one tuck and the
sewing line Of the next one.
Be sure to fasten your stitches
well on the wrong side, or out
they will ravel. If you are stitch
ing by machine, pull your thread
ends through and tie them; If you
itch by hand, take several small
,ut sturdy over-and-over stitches.
you are tucking a circular skirt
VI any flared or curved portion,
aste both along the crease line
nd sewing line, fulling the under
Material in bit as you go.
CORDED TUCKS SMART
If you want to use tucks decora-
lively, there are several types.
Corded tucks may be made IN one
of two ways. If you have a cord
