Smart Handwork
On Ensembles

THE FEMININE world seems
to be getting too, too domestic.
Handwork of all kinds is very
popular this Spring. You can
paint your own print (like the
heart print for Ginger Rogers,
you can quilt your own coat,
you can crochet a few gadgets
for your new-or even for your
old-hat, or embroider peasant
flowers all over your favorite
sweater (Wendy Barrie did this).
Another idea for hand-mades
is the casual ensemble created
for Maureen OHara. Frock is
plain white crepe with pleated
bodice and skirt. With it
Maureen wears a pepper green
flannel bolero which is elabo-
rately embroidered with yarn
flowers in all colorS.
So get out your needles. girls.
Far better to have pricked fin
gers than to be behind the style.

IT IS most interesting and
fascinating to grow dahlias from
seeds, and the thrill of creating
new varieties of ones own has
a special appeal to many garden
ers. Here are a few suggestions
that will make it easy for the
amateur.
First, there is a common be-
lief that dahlias are not particu
lar about soil or the location.
This is not true. They have sew
eral requirements that must be
taken into consideration by the
gardener; however, these re-
Quirements are simple and can
be furnished by the amateur
gardener with very little trouble.
DahIia Care
Since the dahlia is a native of
Mexico. their first and most i'm
portant requirement is a well
drained soil. Therefore. when
the dahlia seeds are sown, see
that the location prepared for
them is a place where water will
not settle.
The dahlia comes from the hot,
high, dry country, so be sure the
location selected is one that re-
ceives the benefit of the full sun
throughout the day. Prepare the
seed bed as you would for any
other seed working up the soil
as fine as possible. Do not apply
fertilizer until the seeds are well
above the surface of the ground
and avoid the danger of burning
the tender plants.
Dahlia seeds, if sown early. or
just as soon as the ground has
warmed up. will bear flowers the
same season. Select the varie-
ties that are to be saved from
the most vigorous growers, and
the ones that produce the best
flowers. You may get some odd
colors, shapes and sizes.
Hand PolIinafion
If you desire to continue
growing dahlias from seed and
want some still different varie-
ties you can procure these by
hand pollination. This is done
by touching the pollen of one
flower with a fine brush or
feather until the ripened pollen
clings to it, and then touching

WHAT THEY'RE wearing in

this fashionable resort they may
find neutrality-suspicious. hotels

Child S EATING
Habits Affect
Growth
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

Il
who have trouble persuading
Johnny or Janet to eat their
vegetables could take a lesson
in practical psychology at the
st. Christopher's Hospital for
Children in Philadelphia.
The main thing" says Dieti-
tian Lillian Hack, lis to get the
cooperation of the child" Miss
Hack talks il over with the child
as if he were a grown-up, and
finds out what his major inter-
est is. Sometimes it's football a
Spindly youngster has his heart
set on-it's a cinch to get a
future quarterback to drink his
milk.
Provide Reason
One little boy al the hos
pital is faithfully eating his
vegetables-which he didn't like
at all-for the sole purpoes of
getting strong enough to whip
the neighborhood bully.
Sflllui Gtl WilO a L uuDDCu
Fatty" or skinny" by their
schoolmates are easily converted
TO the idea of good eating hab-
its.
Having become we'll ac-
quainted with thousands of chill
dren. the hospital staff has
learned quite a lot about par
ents. When the subject of eat
ing vegetables is preached they
are inclined to chime in trium-
phantly with Il keep telling
Johnny they are good for him."
It is Miss Mack's observation
that nobody-child or grownup
likes to do anything because
it is good for him.
Bad Psychology
But It is just as bad psychol-
ogy when the parent takes the
attitude that "Oh, Oracle is go
ing to be fat anyway. Every
one in the family is fat" If the
parent feels that way, the child
is licked from the beginning.
In dealing with so many chill
dren, certain definite trends
have been noted. The over
weight children usually like just
one vegetable potatoes - and
they eat between meals. Also.
with extreme overweight there
is a tendency to foot trouble,
even in childhood.
Underweiehf Child
The underweight children have
finicky appetites, don't ca I
breakfast, and, usually. won't
eat their vegetables.
II is not unusual for the over
weight child TO be poorly nour-
ished. When large quantities of
jams, jellies, desserts, sodas
and pastries are consumed. the
child may easily fail to get the
fruits. vegetables and milk he
really needs.
Overweight children who go
on good diet often exceed
their expected growth while los
ing weight. In every case in
which weight is brought up or
down to normal. and there is a
marked improvement in health.
it is paralleled by just as great
an improvement in schoolwork
and behavior.
l asked the doctor whether fat
children usually have fat par
ents. and he told me that some
times they don't. but that 'in
most instances the fault is that
of food habits" Overweight in
childhood is too lightly dismissed
as a sign of robust health, or as
something that will be out
grown.

Don't Overload

the Gay Nineties costumes such
as large, lacy or feathered black
hats and low cut neckline for
the fluffy haired blonde, they
still give the impression of fancy
costumes and detract from the
personality. The rule is to avoid
too much contrast in hair and
costume for all whose hair
should be the highlight.
Brunettes can play the whole
field of color. They are smart
in vivid tones and pastels, too.
The in-between hair tones will
accent the eyes. Greens, blues
and any of the colors that ap-
peal to them will usually be
correct.
Lovely Ann Sheridan thinks
shocking pink and yellow are
not the colors that make him
propose. Men are sentimental
about blue and white, so have
one Of the off shades of white
in your wardrobe as well as
your suit of navy green or navy
blue. Green, they say, makes US
look serious and reliable.
Pastels. soft pinks, rose and
bright wines give one a femi-
nine look. They are nice to wear
when the lights are soft. They
give you the sense of belonging
to your surroundings.

Personality
Dominates
Costume
BY DONNA GRACE

WHILE WE BELIEVE ones
personality should dominate all
color and costume, there Is no
denying that color does affect
the senses of not only the wesrer
but her associates.
We talked recently with a
woman who is so aware of her
own aura that she believes il
has a tremendous power ove-
everything she does. says. or is.
For instance. she thinks a green
dress would be a definite handi
cap to her in every way. She
says her aura is red and green
depresses her spirits. so she
feels a sense of inferiority. This
red aura, however. calls for
other tones. She finds blue is
the most perfect for her well
being and peace of mind.
Seek Flsifery
We can't tell you how far
this theory may affect the indi-
vidual but those who are sensi-
tive to color should wear the
one or combinations in which
they look the best. We are sure
to have pride and satisfaction in
ourselves if the COR makes us
look pretty.
Brilliant hair such as red or
blond should not be further ac-
cented with bright colors. Those
tones are attractive in them
selves and should be given full
sway by wearing neutral tones.
The same rule must be applied
to makeup.
Brilliant hair means subdued
makeup. Contrasts should be
done with discretion, too. Blends
and redheads will not sally
forth with conspicuous reds.

ton.

BALTIMORE, July 5.-Lee Elgin,
motor vehicle commissioner, today
launched a campaign to remove
from the highways all cars and
trucks being operated in poor me-
chanical condition"
The commissioner, asserting he
had the power to remove unfit ma
chimes from the highways of the
State, said:
If the police throughout the
State will forward to me the license
numbers of any vehicles they con-
slider in unfit condition, their
owners will be summoned immedi-
ately to appear with their cars and
trucks for rigid safety inspection"
Mr. Elgin explained owners will
be given time to make necessary
repairs to prepare their vehicles for
a recheck.
I'm the event the owners fail to
comply with the summons" he de-
clared, their license plates will be
removed, making it necessary that
the automobiles be taken from the
highways"
Mr. Elgin asserted that because
I'VE do not have properly supervised
motor vehicle inspections, cars and
trucks registered as unsafe" in New
Jersey and the District of Columbia
"are being sent to dealers in Mary
land for disposal"
Describing IAN alarming increase
in highway accidents in Maryland" :"
the commissioner said many cars are
being bought solely for transporta-
ton to and from defense industries. 4"
"A good percentage of these auto
mobiles are not mechanically fit
for the highways and many are the
vintage of the early thirties."
