NEW FOODS PUT
 IN BYRD HARDER
Several New Concentrates Prepared for Variety in
 the Diet

Washington, Dec. 8-(UP)-A Ad- miral Richard E. Byrd carried with him to the Antarctic several new food concentrates prepared by Ag- riculture Department food experts to add variety to the diet of his ex- petition.
 Some of the foods have not been placed on the market as yet. In a year or two they probably will be a staple grocery in commonplace use, food experts predicted.
 Most of the foods were developed In the federal bureau of dairy in- dustry laboratories and repre -ent the efforts of dairy scientists to de- wise new ways to utilize skim milk and whey as human food.
 The list includes a new kind of dried pea soup, made with whey powder; new kind of wafer which is a mixture of potatoes, skim milk and salt; and new kinds of candies which contain whey solids.
 Skim milk and whey are waste products of dairies. Millions of pounds of the two milk by-products now are thrown away or fed to hogs. Use of them in foods would open up vast new market for the dairy industry.
 The dried soup is 0 pre-cooked dry powder which makes a complete soup when one can of the powder is mixed with four cans of water and boiled. It contains 65 per cent split pea solids, 25 per cent whey solids and 10 per cent fats.
 The skim milk potato waters are similar to potato chips, but con- tain no fat and therefore do not become rancid. The waters are made by drying or toasting a mixture of boiled potatoes, skim milk and salt.
 Two kinds of candy caramels and fudge--were made by formulas that include 25 per cent whey sol- ids. The whey candy is superior in food value to ordinary candies, be- cause the whey solids displace some of the cane sugar and corn syrup. It is slightly less sweet than ordi. nary candy.

 SMART KHAKI
Expert Dyeing Assures Unvarying Shade of
 Uniforms

London. Dec. s.-(UP)-The wool textile trade is proud of the khaki now be4ng turned out for British troops.
 Not only Is e better grade of wool going into 1t than went into khaki duinlg ths World War, but the problem of uniformity ot shade which gave the industry plenty of headaches from 19i4-i8 now has been mastered.
 The word Khaki" is e Persian term and means like the earth. The first ever worn by British troops was @ cotton uniform, for use in the tropics, dyed with almost anything which would give 1t a light brown shade, including diluted coffee.
 odd Shades Once Prevailed
 During the early part of the World War, khaki was @ blend of seven colors - brown, olive, white and indigo with touches of red, green and yellow to give the cloth tone. This resulted in Q yellow ish-sreen fabric of eccentric shad- ing. It was rare for two soldiers of different companies to have uni- forms of identical hues, judged by scientific color standards.
 Toward the close of the war, 6 committee of experts appointed by the War Office reduced the num- Der of colorS used to three-olive brown, indigo and white, used in percentages of 30, and IS per cent. This was a great improve ment.
 Today, 1t is said British khaki is still further improved. It con. sists of three shades, brown. olive and white, but the proportions are now 36, 35 and 30. This means that 35 "slivers" of wool---the term used for the long loose continuous rope" of combed wool fibers which eventually are spun into yarn - are dyed brown, another S5 "silvers" are dyed olive and 30 "slivers" are of Q shade of white
 The "slivers" then are passed through 8 machine which blends them into another continuous "sliver" with the colors mixed in the exact proportions Of the for- mula. When the silver" emerges as a yarn, 1t not only has 6 unique shade which no dyeing in cloth could produce exactly but the uniformity of the shade through. out the entire production is as- sured.
 The dyers who dye the "slivers' have to work to exact shades as indicated on the color chart of the British Color Council and they must submit their work to gov- ernment experts who pass 1t only If satisfied.

HOLY DAY BEING
 OBSERVED HERE
Feast of Immaculate Con. ceptiOn Unusual Inter.
 est Attached to Feast

Catholics today are observing the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, holy day of obligation, here as elsewhere. This feast day is of uri- usual import here in the United States since the Blessed Virgin Mary Is the patroness of the United States under the title Immaculate, the one she used in her appearance at Lourdes.
 The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was defined by Pope Plus TX on the 8th of December, 1854, hence the feast day has been observed in the Roman Catholic church today. Increasing devo- tion to this feast has been ob- served with the passage of years and even outside the Catholic church some recognition of 1t is given.
 Waterbury's mother church takes its name from the feast day and doctrine of the Immaculate Concep- tion. Originally called St. Peters church, construction of the old Im- maculate Conception church on East Main street followed shortly after Pope Plus definition of doctrine and creation of the new holy day.
 The late Bishop T. F. Hendricken decided to dedicate the parish to the Immaculate Conception and the name was agreed to by diocesan au- thorities and accepted with dedica. tion of the old church back in 1857. It was said to be the first Catholic church in this country placed under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception.
 Masses were celebrated in all Catholic churches of the city this morning. A special rovena in honor of the Immaculate Conception ends tonight at the Immaculate Concep- tion church. It has been conducted by the Rev. Harold Boyd, o. P.

Fied farther, in high Republican clr- s,cles, and there is talk of holding the ~convention late in July or August.
 This will be one of the subjects ~discussed when the party's execu- < tive committee meets here Dec. z. sFAVOR LATE DATE
 ITO AVOID LETDOWN
 Those favoring late date argue .sthat there is always a letdown after z a presidential convention. The dele ngates go back home full of enthu5l- z, asm and energy, then have to wait Y a couple of moths before they can g really get to work.
 One suggestion being advanced is ss that it might be smart to make the presidential campaign swing into shigh immediately after the conven- rs tion, have the formal Notification of q the nominee as soon as possible, and start the candidate out on ais speech -making tour right after that, z. z, This would keep tempo high all

Designer Visions
Coming Fashions

Quoting Edith Head, top designer
of clothes for Hollywood notables:
"The reign of the popular simple
frock or suit is over. Everything
indicates that the fall and winter
styles will be lavish in fabric and
extremely romantic and fattering.
Clothes will doubtless cause social
functions to increase in formality
and it will be, all and all, a dressy
season."
81 am sure" predicted Miss
Head, ''that there will be no GER
tain or definite skirt, sleeve, or coat
lengths in the coming trend. Wom-
en- will dress strictly to their own
individuality, getting away from the
sheep fads and crazes which made
all of us look alike for the past sew
eral years. At least feminine
fashions will assume something
else than all poured of the same
mold
"The high note of the new trend"
said the designer, will be magnif-
icence of material. Silks, brocades,
velvets, and embroidered fabrics
will be abundant and tailored, all
purpose models will hear definite
death knell."

bar hosiery-in all shades and sizes.
(Altho' we liked the pagan" and
crosse Nude" shades best for summer
wear.) The stockings are amazingly
reasonable-priced from 29c to soc!
Estelle also has variety of mems soX
priced at 25c. Then you will like the
rayon striped panties that are being
featured at only 25c. So in the near
future do drop in at the Uptown Shop
with the Downtown Prices"-located
at 977BTremont Street, right next
door to Nine. Enslow's Beauty Shop,
and across the street from SHADES.
The charming manager is Mrs. Es-
telleSullavan and Miss Cynthia Gaines
is always in the shop ready to help you
with your selection. Remember their
slogan: "You Can Buy With Conf
dence When You Buy With Us"
Before you see Estelle, however, I'd
like to give you a few hosiery hints.
Whether you pay 29c pair for
your stockings or 69c and even more
you can't expect to get your moneys
worth out of them unless you give
them good care. First, you must wash
your stockings after each wearing in a
mild soap suds (such as Ivory or Lux
Flakes) for you know perspiration
shortens the life of silk threads; there
fore you must never leave soiled host
cry overnight-wash them as soon as
you take them off! A mild soap is i'm
portant; you'll see why when l tell you
that friend of mine once asked me
how | got my stockings to last so long.
She said she bought a new pair every
week. The reason was that she washed
her stockings every night, yes, but in
Rlnso! Rinse is a grand soap for
washing dishes and clothes but it's
much too strong for silk stockings.
Never rub soap on your stockings but
just press the soapsuds through and be
sure to rinse them at least twice in
clear lukewarm water. Don't wiring,
but squeeze the excess water from
your stockings, shake them and be
sure to hang them with the stocking
seams straight. Never let them drv
IN the hot sun or near radiator. If
you follow these rules and always wash
your stockings in lukewarm water,
they shouldn't spring runs so quickly.
A good economy rule is to buy three
tN>AhS VI oOONNiIlSo III LuS SAME SndQe
so you always keep matching them up.
You should also select your stockings
for the occasion. The sheerest stock
ings are one-thread and are recon-
mended only for a gala evening affairs
as they are guaranteed to last one
evening only. A two-thread is also
very sheer and is best for afternoon
and evening functions. The ideal
thread for those of you who must wear
sheer stockings at all times like yours
truly is a three-thread; this looks
as sheer as two-thread but wears
like four-thread. The four-thread
incidentally, is for spectator sports,
street and business wear. Wear five
thread for active sports and 7-thread
will hold up under a hike in the woods
and other stocking damaging events.
Always put your stockings on in a
sitting position. First, roll down the
entire stocking and then slip your foot
through the roll into the toe seam.
Straighten the toe and heel seams, un-
roll the stocking up the leg, keeping
the seams straight.

ever, that once done, together with
the acquiring of exactly the right
size crochet hook, not forgetting to
ask for a pamphlet of instructions
as how to make, which is always
available where you buy yarns.
There's good news for crocheters
this year in that the idea of styling
is being played up for all it is
worth. For the first time crochet
has been treated like fabric. The
result is a collection of crocheted
dresses unmatched for smartness,
variability, fit and individuality.
Most important is the way in
which the newer crocheted frocks
fit and mold the figure. Dressmak-
er touches are also stressed. Pad
ded shoulders are emphasized, zip
per closings are used, skirts swing
gracefully, with view to achieving
the young look so much exploited
this season.
Typical of the new crochet fash
ions is the casual, neat-as-a-pin
dress as shown to the left in the pic
ture. A decorative upper down the
front, closing at the throat with two
pompoms, high-placed pockets and
wide contrasting belt give it the
dressmaker touches. Even the belt
is crocheted. Worked in lustrous
mercerized crochet cotton, the en-
tire outfit is simple to make.
The hand-crocheted dress to the
right has the stylish look It's lines
are fluid and soft with the shoulders
Slightly exaggerated to slenderize
the silhouette, making it graceful
for the more mature figure as well
as for the slim and svelte young
woman. The stitch is open and lacy
delightfully."- cool to wear through
out the summer. Later on you will
find this type gown an ideal starter
for the fall wardrobe.

Deer Friend: l have more a COM
plant to make than a problem which
is, why do girls insist on smearing
their lips with rouge that both reposes
on us fellows and makes an otherwise
beautiful moment messy? Do girls
have to put on so much? In recent
observations throughout an evening
the girls are always busy keeping the
Inns to the right hue. Some know how
to apply it attractively but what can
you do about those who don't. Before
an evening is over our pockets are
bullying with female articles that her
little purse can't hold. After all why
should our sides look two or three
inches fuller than they are. Person.
ally, I'm for a strike or something.
Joking aside, what do you think of
this problem of mine ?-Striking Ed.
Dear Striking Ed: In a recent arti-
Gle the writer's comment on what is
expected of young lady while being
embraced by her friend, was that she
should excite three of mans senses,
namely: she should smell sweet, feel
soft and taste pleasant. l heartily
agree with you that some girls apply
too much lipstick but changing that
habit will come with more beauty
classes and strikes such as you sug-
gest. | should like to hear from the
girls, though, as to their complaints
about their boy friends. Pm wonder
ing, Striking Ed, if you haven't
started bonfire. Well, we shall see.
What do you say, girls?

OH, FOR dress that is cool to
~ wear on hot sultry days, warm
and comfy" to wear on cool days,
a dress that somehow or other pos
sesses the magic of fitting into the
scheme of things, whether it be 60
ing places about town during the ac-
tive hours of the day or doing more
or less of a society stunt at informal
bridge party or tea in the afternoon
at the club.
The answer? Well, here it is right
before your very eyes in the &C.
companying illustration - dresses
that are hand-crocheted of mercer
lied cotton. Yes'm, a dress like
either of the models pictured will
prove a friend in need and indeed
at any time of the year. AS to
solving the mid-season problem
of something to wear that tides over
the gap between fashions old and
fashions new, you'll find hand
crocheted dress gives the perfect
answer Such a gown is correct
and likable to wear this very min
ute and for the girl who will be far
ing to school in the early autumn
days.
The best way of putting to the test
all we have been saying about the
crochet theme is to make such a
dress for yourself. Just few lei
sure moments devoted here and
there, that would otherwise be vast
ed, to the crocheting thereof and in
an unbelievably short time you will
be the exultant possessor of dress
that will prove a treasure in your
wardrobe, the whole year round.
Want to try it? Well, here's how!
go to your nearest fancy work
shop or department. There you will
find coolies of mercerized crochet
cottons in adorable colors. How
