Footwear, Millinery
Designers to Visit
In Washington
BY HELEN VOGT.

American creations in the fashion
world grow more important daily,
and with their gain in prominence,
the originators assume a new in
terest for the style-conscious women
of the country. This, of course, is
partly the reason there has been so
much attention given to the in
tended visit of two designers to
Washington.
Arriving on Monday is Mr.. Del
man, famous creator of beautiful
footwear who will spend two days
telling local lovelies about the new
est trends and silhouettes. Promi-
nent among the things for which he
is famous is his participation in the
group known as Color Affliates, "
that far-sighted group of fashion
designers who adopt definite colors
each season and stick to them
enabling us to match clothes and
accessories with comparative ease
At any rate, Mr.. Delman should
have some interesting news of the
fall and winter shoe styles and we
wouldn't be surprised if he's will
ing to tell it.
Equally we'll known, although it's
in the millinery field this time, is
another visitor to town. Mr.. Harry
sons the name, and he brings with
him collection of hats which de-
pict various phases Of American
history, continuing the feeling for
fashions done in the spirit of this
country. This designers creations
have long been famous for their
dash and charm and this seasons
introduction of an Americana
theme promises to make them even
more deserving of applause. Mr..
Harryson, too, will have story to
tell when he makes a one-day ap-
pearance Monday in Washington,
for there is actually romance be-
hind the inspiration for new mil
linery fashions this season.

The very first thing you'll need
for the new season is really good
frock, in silk or soft wool, for aft
ernoon and general wear Here's
one smartly basic in feeling, with
the supple, long-from- bust-to-hir
line that fall smartness demands. Its
flgure-flattering lines are achieved
in such simple fashion, with long
darts at the waistline and shoulder

A few vines growing in an
open bowl of water are par
ticularly good in any room, be-
cause as the water evaporates
the dryness disappears from the
air.
To open fruit jars easily set
them upside down in hot water
for about five minutes. Don't
have water too hot or the tops
will crack.
Add figs, chopped dates,
raisins or nuts to cereal mix
lures for variety.
The railing of bannisters may
be cleaned by washing off all
the dirt with soap and water.
When dry, rub with two parts
of linseed oil and one part
turpentine. A good rubbing will
bring up the polish as if the
rails had been repolished.

MRS. E. r. G.
Answer:
I Judge that you have some Of
the wallpaper. since you have tried
patching, and there is a trick to
using it. Smooth off paper around
the place where it is bumped.
Select a piece of wall paper about
8 inches square and put your paste
on the back. One pound of wall
paper paste is good investment
for this. Next. tear your paper so
as to leave feather edge, not one
cut with scissors or torn with a
ruler, for the latter method is the
reason your first patch was notice
able. To get this feather edge,
place your paper face down on the
table with the paste side toward
you, cover the surface with paste
and then lift one corner and tear
toward you. Being moist with paste,
1t will tear quite evenly. Place
your patch on the wall, matching
the design carefully, and pat into
place with clean soft cloth. I
think you will find the patch hard
to locate when the paste has dried.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:

Last winter we suffered with
drafts from the windows on the
north side of the house. They seem
to At fairly tight, but We could feel
the cold just the same. Is there any
type of weather stripping that would
correct this condition?
MRS. S. c.
Answer-Weather stripping would
help if there are cracks around the
window. but I think you probably
get most of the draft from the cold
air given off by the glass surface
Storm sash placed outside the win
dow would make dead air space
which acts as such excellent insula-
ton against the cold, and which will
really pay its way in efficiency.

MISS NOVEL;:

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
The screens in my house seem to
be covered with lint and dust close
to the sill and it is almost impossible
to remove it. What is the best way
to tackle this job, and what can I do
to prevent it?
F. HID.
Answer-The best remedy is one
of the small attachments on your
vacuum cleaner, which will take
care Of it nicely. I think wiping the
screens with a little linseed oil helps.
Anyway. they look cleaner, and the
vacuum method will keep them
clean without removing them from
now on.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have three old rugs that are all
too worn to do much with. but I
feel that cannot afford to throw
them away, as the effort of getting
a new one is going to strain the
pocketbook badly. Do you have any
helpful ideas about recruiting rugs?
Can they be redyed? Would it be
practical to sew together the good
parts OF figured one and a plain
one and then have it redyed?
MRS. j. o. P.
Answer-You might combine them
the latter way with good results,

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have just completed our house
except for the screens. and feel that
we might let those go with spring
If it would mean we might afford
better materials Will you give
us some informa ton about materials
and design? We have easement
windows.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-09-13

AnsWer-Screens have developed
almost as fast as windows and you
may now get almost any type. They
may be hung on the inside or out
side of the window, they may swing
out and up with hinges at the top
or roll in metal track. AS for
materials. there are several with
both good and bad points. Iron and
steel are reasonable in price but
will rust unless we'll painted. Copper
does not rust, but will develop a
green coating that stains a white
sill or painted brick house unless it
is carefully cleaned and lacquered.
aluminium and bronze have none of
these drawbacks and are highly rec
commended if you can afford the
first cost. They will pay in the end,
as they do not deteriorate. Shop
around and see all types as long as
you plan to wait until spring, and
get one that suits your needs and
your budget.

U. S. STILL LEADS WORLD In TELEPHONES

Statistics show that although there are 10 times
as people outside the United States as within
it, this country still has nearly one-half of the
worlds total of 347 telephones. Outside the
United States, on the average, only every Tooth per-
there is about telephone for every six people
15.4 telephones for every 100 of the population.
There is more telephone wire in the United States
than In all the rest of the world put together In
this country there is nearly 1000 feet Of for
age Of only slightly 200 feet of telephone
per capita in the rest Of the world.
In the nited States, the average per capita use
elsewhere in the world the average yearly per capita
use is only about Is calls. At the present time,
more than 1000 telephone calls are completed in
this country per second, than 81, 900 200
calls per day.
Washington, D. c., With 239, e6s telephones and
San Francisco, California with 29 ooe continue to
lead all large cities of the world telephone de-
veloment, according to recent statistics
by the American Telephone Telegraph Company. The
figures show that Washington had 4o.1A telephones
per 100 population and San Francisco 1888.
Such number of telephones in rel alton to popl-
1ation is particularly striking when compar tn
the situation in large European capitals. Paris,
for example, had 1879 telephones, or 1915 per
100 Inhabitants; Berlin had 599, 91l, 1888 per
100 Inhabitants and central London had tele-
phones, corresponding to 17.e per 100 population.
Greater London actually contains 900 peo
pie and telephones, which is equivalent to
R.46 telephones per 100 people, only about one
half the telephone density of New York City.

In regard to the transit company's cost figures,
the fact was brought out that People's Plan No.

June Butter Output
Is Reported Largest
In History
Six Months Volume
Also Sets Record
For That Period
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Agriculture
Marketing Service estimates today
showed that Americas creameries
turned out 203,800,000 pounds of
butter during June, the heaviest
output for any month in the history
of the butter industry, according to
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
This brought production for the
six months of 1910 to 928,120,000
pounds, the largest for any corre-
spending period on record. Last
months churning was 81 per cent
larger than June, 1899, and exceeded
the previous all-time monthly rec
ord of June, 1888, by 1,272,00O
pounds.
The Mercantile Exchange said
that high milk production favored
by cold weather and excellent pas
turage was reflected in the record
butter output.
During the first half of July but
ter production continued to show a
tendency to rise still farther above
output of the same period last year,
The recent heat wave is tending to
affect butter production adversely,
the exchange said.
However, mercantile traders said
while this months output is ex-
pected to be well above the aver
age, no new July record is looked for.
