bluebirds love them and will choose
them in preference to smart, up-to-

the birds always bring in their own
furniture, and they do not destroy

COurdS

Of course, you see that gourds
are closely related to squashes, Gu
cumbers, melons and pumpkins
They have hard shells when they
become dry. Some of the gourds
are eaten when they are young and
tender, and are prepared in the
same way as we do garden varieties
of summer or soft-shelled squashes.
What is perhaps one Of the most
interesting things about gourds is
that they have been cultivated for

with the dead. In those days the
gourdS were used extensively as
water bottles or TASKS. This type is
also known as the powder horn,
spoon, sugar trough, siphon and
African pipe.
More and more we find these odd
shaped plants in gardens. They are
tender ANIMALS, and if planted in
good soil, amply repay you for your
expenSe-which is mere trifle-
and the trouble of pulling up the
weeds and keeping the plant wa
tered until it takes hold. Insects and
diseases do not seriously impede the
growth or production of gourds.
Weeds are the foes to keep down in
the early stages of the gourds' life.

Besides being very colorful and
interesting, gourds are climbers and
have pretty flowers. Their fruits are
just what we need for decorative
purposes in the winter and they
make excellent bird houses.
The one to plant for bird houses is
known as the dipper gourd. 1t has a
long neck with a "dipper" bowl,
which is from to inches in
diameter.

Protect Hands With Gloves
When Washing or Dusting
BY DONNA GRACE

This takes time, we know, but
il pays dividends in beauty.
Don't permit hands to become
stiff for want of exercise. Young
hands are always active. Notice
how the baby uses her little
hands and fingers. She makes
tight little fists, then stretches
the fingers apart and keeps
every muscle and tendon In con-
slant motion. Nothing is more
graceful than these pretty
movements.
Lubricafe
All hands need fabrication, so
don't neglect your nightly appli-
cation of cream.
Fat chubby hands can be
trained to more slender lines by
massage and stroking TO the
fingertips.
Do not permit horny cuticle
10 form about the nails. Use
the emeryboard, tweezers and
little scissors for smoothness.
Daily scrubbing with soap and
warm water will remove rough
edges. Always rinse well after
using soap. Keep an orangewood
stick handy for pushing back
the cuticle and cleansing tn e
sides and under the free edge.

Consume Your Own Smoke.
Don't Let II Poison Others

IT'S QUEER what a few
words will do 10 your life. Take
frinstance, that old phrase,
Consume your own smoke"
Chances are, you're too young
TO remember when this phrase
started TO remember when
science discovered that great
factories could make away with
their own residue. Truth is, 1
didn't understand much about
il myself.
We Robinsons were just kids
when it all started. We lived on
bay, across the CarquineZ
Strait from Port Costa. A bay
that held some mysterious men
ace.
Later I was TO know that the
menace came from a smelter
near Port Costa a smelter
whose poisonous fumes brought
destruction and death 10 so
many loved and familiar things.
SmeIfers Raise Havoc
All the gold ore from the
fabulous Mother Lode" was
brought to that smelter TO be
freed of its treasure. 1t was
wonderful to lie on the warm
sand of the beach and think of
that treasure but il was
goshawful TO smell it.
Shelters and smells are no
treat. They eat holes in your
chicken wire fences and other
metallic gadgets.
They also do things to Juniors
breathing apparatus. They give
him snivelS raise Cain
generally. So Ii was great
day when science discovered
that the smelters could consume
their own smoke. Maybe the
smelter owners weren't so hot
about il -. but i never heard
my Dad cuss so enthusiastically.
/ was very little girl when
the smelter began consuming
its own smoke. l did not realize
that scientific miracle was
happening. l only knew that
the air was suddenly and beau
tifully clean. The acid rasp
that has gnawed our threats
was gone. Instead there was
sweetness we had never known
before.

Rule Today

Lovely hands are the rule in
these modern days and every
young man likes them but in
stead of writing Sonnets, he ex-
presses his admiration in less
1owery ways.
We will give you a few re-
minders for keeping hands
lovely. First, you must keep
well, that is, the circulation
must never be restricted by
tight girdles. gloves, shoes, or
any tight clothing. Any such
restriction will cause redness or
even swelling and give the
hands a coarse, neglected look.
Protect your h a n d. with
gloves when doing rough work
or busting.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-11-05

WE DON'T hear so many
poems and sonnets extolling the
beauty of lily white hands as
were written in other days but
we believe it is just that ex-
tolling is out of style. Hands are
lovely as ever but not much is
said about them.
Fine ladies were the only ones
who were expected to have
beautiful hands, they were the
aristocrats who never soiled
their hands with work. They
sewed fine seams and embroid-
cred things knowing well that
such m a denly occupations
showed off their hands TO the
best advantage.

EXTRAORDINARY GROUP

This extraordinary group Is
headed by an extraordinary young
woman, Jewell Williams, senior
woman supervisor in the special
apparatus assembly division. Her
mind and her fingers function with
lightning speed.
She herself worked out and then
taught her co-workers to do more
quickly by hand a number of tech
nical jobs which men-because
their hands are so much larger
can do only at best with the aid
of tools.
In one of the instruments vital
TO defense which now comes under
her supervision, short screw must
be set deep in the mechanism. Men
formerly did this with pliers.
But Miss Williams has elimi-
mated that time-consuming opera
ton by the simple discovery that
small feminine hands and slim fin
gers can set the screw in place
with a simple twist of the wrist
and without pliers.
This young woman. who COM
bines executive ability with tech
nical ingenuity, has taught her as
sistants to use their hands instead
of tools wherever possible. The
company has discovered such
technique is valuable time-saver.
