BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

Let's get down to brass tacks about
household insurance. How much
and what type do you carry for the
protection of the things you have
spent the better part of your life
collecting?
1t is time that women thought
about this and that we talked it over
for two reasons Woman today
runs the home. She buys every
thing fer it. And she runs it with
an efficiency never known before.
Men, however, still buy the insur-
ance, and considering the fact that
only about 60 per cent of the annual
fire loss and 20 per cent of the burg
lars yearly bill is covered by in
surance, it becomes clear that a
woman might offer a suggestion or
two in that direction.
It's a Woman's business to be a
shrewd shopper, to get the most and
the best for the money her husband
brings home Aside from the heart
break of having the things she loves
burned or stolen, it is not good
management to purchase merchan-
dize for her house without investing
in protection, any more than 1t is
wise to pay the doctor to prescribe
for an ailing child and then not pur-
chase the cod liver oil he orders.
Neither is it good plan to be fear
full and overzealous, purchasing all
kinds of insurance only to find that
you are paying on two or more poll
cies that give you the same coverage
In other words. that you are paying
twice for the same protection.
Inventory of Coverage.
When you begin to work out a
budget for household insurance, the
first task is to take inventory of the
coverage you now have Get out all
your policies and go over them care
fully with your insurance agent

Outside Liqhts Valuable

Proper exterior lighting of the
house contributes to safety as well
as to comfort and convenience.
Overhead lights on the side of the
house, next to the driveway, and
over garage doors prevent bad
stumbles over carelessly parked
bicycles, scooters, roller skates, and
garden tools which somebody forgot
to put away. A well-lghted driveway
offers an added advantage-it dis

of the Washington Real Estate Board

value of local real estate and as
added proof of the stability of the
real estate market here.

Dewey Campaign Slipping

NOMINATING time is Close and the political pic
ture gradually clears. There seems little question
but what Mr.. Roosevelt can be renominated for a
third term if he wishes He will have close to half Of
the delegates pledged to him when the convention
opens And in every primary he has beaten all other
contenders by tremendous margins.
On the Republican side, the Dewey candidacy has
apparently slipped seriously. Few think he has a
chance. Taft and Vandenberg are the leading lights
now but it looks if they may cancel each other Big
gest COP development is the astonishing rise in gen
eral popularity of Wendell Willke Mr.. Willkie has no
machine, no "inside backing" and no delusions Of
grandeur But, in the view of number of commenta-
tors he is the only possible Republican candidate who
could meet the President footing, and have
real chance to win the day.

Knitting Bees

There's been a bit Of chilly weather since
the soldiers left. as you know perfectly well,
What is not so well known is that the soldiers
in southern camps are none too warmly clad.
Correspondents, writing to their papers, tell
of shivering boys doing their best to learn the
intricacies of the drill and the duties of kitchen
police with teeth chattering. Winter uniforms
have not been issued and tents are cold things
at best.
OF course, all this will be corrected in time.
The war department will get around to the
creature comforts Of its soldiers before bitter
ly cold weather arrives. But in the mean time
there is pressing need for warmer clothes for
the boys in camp.
It will be remembered that the Rev. Edwin
Keever, in a letter published in these columns
recently, urged women's organizations to unite
in knitting socks and sweaters and wristbands
for the soldiers. This cold snap comes to en-
phasize the wisdom of Mr.. Keever's sugges-
ton.
Knitting bees are in order. .

Time For Hobbies

Pressure Of the weller of war news, national
emergency developments and a host of other
matters that are equally disconcerting have
LED to increasing repetition of advice to the
American people to give more attention to
hobbies so that they may retain a better
mental balance. "
IN Delaware, where the great dupont mum.
lions plants employ SO many of the people
and other war industries are working extra
SHIFTS, the advice is being followed, as is in.
dlcated by the sponsorship, by school authori-
ties, with private groups cooperating, of com.
munity hobby and talent exhibits. Many OF
these exhibits in recent months, we learn,
have brought to light talent of high order in
various forms of art and hand craft.
In the undertakings that have been shown
there are represented many hours in which
the creators a been able to forget outside
affairs. This example, could be followed in
North Carolina with advantage and, perhaps,
with equal benefit In the discovery Of talent.
Through adequate encouragement, 1t is quite
