you'll wear all the day long. from
the time you drive your husband to
the station until you dress for din
ner. A diagram design-it's easy to
make.
That classic favorite for busy
day of housework appears in 1529-B.
In fact, you'll like the looks Of this
dress so we'll, when you make 1t up
in workaday cottons, that you'll re-
peat it also in fiat crepe or sports
silk for street wear. The bodies
blouses just a bit above the SLIM
hipped skirt, and is gathered onto a
smooth shoulder yoke. The narrow
roll collar gives tailored finish.
If you take woman's size, this is a
particularly good dress for you!
Large women will find 1615-B
exactly what they want in a prac-
tical, becoming house dress. Just
see how slenderizing those long,
straight, unbroken lines are! The
v-neckline is so becoming to full
faces. The sleeves, wide enough to
make your arms look simmer. are
prettily trimmed with flaring, turn
back cuffs. Half q dozen dresses
like this will make your home life
much easier and happier-and since
this is an easy diagram design, you
can finish it in a few hours. Half a
dozen will take very little time and
trouble. The fitting is all by means
of q few simple darts.

oped the fact that she has num-

Interesting, too, are Miss Hale's
recollection of the firm belief on
the part of many of her associates
when she first came to Washing

Treasury ghost. 1t was supposed to
be that of former Secretary of
Treasury Window, who punctlliously
on the stroke of midnight was sup

note whether the piles of gold were

Diversified Occupations
Henderson High School

The Diversified Occupations pro-
gram of the Henderson nigh school
has developed satisfactory during the
past few weeks. Already the class
has enrolled and working fifteen
students.
This course which is a cooperative
part time vocational training was
establishe dto give the boys and
girls of Henderson high school
training in some occupation so that
when they graduate from high
school, they will have had actual
experience and training in some oc-
cupation.
In practically every community
there are a number Of desirable oc
equations for which workers are
needed each year. The number need
ed in anyone Of these occupations
is so small, however, that the schools
are not usually justified in establish
ing definite training courses for these
occupations The local employers
prefer to employ. and do employ
wherever possible, local boys and
girls, but they feel the need of some
plan of education which will help
these young people to prepare for
the work that is to be done. Since
it is not possible to set up special
training courses for eacn occupation,
it seems that some plan must be de-
vised whereby young people may
be given training in a single group
for a number of different occupa-
TONS
Briefly it may be said that this
plan is a cooperative arrangement in
which the schools assist employers
in training new employees. The STU
dent works one-haf day in school
and the other half on his Job" in
cludes those subjects which are
directly related to the work he is
doing.
This course of Diversified Occua-
tons is in operation in twenty Of the
leading cities of North Carolina,
among which are Rocky Mount,
Greenville, Raleigh, Durham, Wilson,
Washington, and several others in
this section of the state. The only
town smalled than Henderson which
is participating in this program is
Albermarle.
Students are already placed in
the following occupations: automO-
bile mechanics, meat cutting and
grocery store operation, cleaning and
dyeing, printing, plumbing, floristry
variety store management laundry
management and operation electrical
maintenance and repair, retail de-
partment store selling
So far Henderson has shown
splendid response to this program,
and many Of the business men are
vitality interested in the plan since
