PATTERN S19 A BUTTON-FRONT CHTRTWATSTER

This blithe good sport" of a frock is becoming to most any age or figure-it's so slim and trim and well-designed. A Claire Tilden crea- tion, Pattern 319 is in that button front style so popular with all wom- en for its good looks, flattering lines and dressing and ironing convent ence. Use bright-colored buttons down the front to match the buckle of your belt. There's gay novelty at both front and back, with the yokes and long panels cut .in-one. The col lar is notched, but in softly curv- ed, very feminine shape that's most attractive. Darts below the yokes keep the easy lines of the side be- dice under control. Use short or long sleeves for this indispensable style, and try 1t in a smart tie-silk, a printed rayon, or a shantung. Or, if you like, have the front and back side-sections in spirited contrast. Even though you've never tried your hand at sewing before, the ex- pert, complete Sewing Guide in- cluded with the style will marvel ously simplify its making. Do send for your pattern without delay = you'll find this frock useful and smart for sports, for work, for busy days aheadl

THE PERTLs or VACATION

1kNE GEkGAAO OE NkAAA4ASAN
 Overexertion is perhaps the most common and the most serious haz- ard of the annual vacation. Every summer many thousands of seden- tary occupation leave their accus- toned brain work" and without even an attempt at training enter upon a strenuous fortnight of swim ming, canoeing, hiking, golf, base- ball, riding and the like. When the strain is over 1t takes them weeks to recover-if they ever do recover. That depends on how much damage the heart muscle has suffered.
 An excellent rule for any one in the white collar class on vacation is this: When in doubt about the wis., dom of any unaccuStomed activity, duck it. You can always decide that you feel inclined to laze or read or do some writing or take a nap this afternoon.
 Young adults who get little or no exercise the year round should train for vacation by daily schedule of walking, from a mile twice daily at first gradually increased to a daily walk of six miles after 8 month or so. If 1t is impossible to do this, then at least they should carry out daily scheduled of setting-up ex- erciSes.
 Second vacation hazard, in fre- quency and importance, is sunburn Probably the most painful and ser- ious sunburns occur from the eager ness of the young person to acquire a coat of tan in week. One who is more concerned about that than about the health-value of exposure

to sunlight would do well to pur- chase & bottle of artificial "sun-tan" at the drugstore and apply it freely before indulging in the unaccus- toned exposure.
 Probably the best way to avoid painful sunburn is by timing the ex- posures carefully in the first two or three weeks-say not to exceed five minutes, forenoon and again in the afternoon the first day; ten min- utes forenoon and five minutes af- ternoon second day; ten minutes forenoon, ten minutes afternoon the third day; fifteen minutes forenoon, ten minutes afternoon the fourth day; fifteen minutes forenoon, fif- teen minutes afternoon the fifth day. And so on. This schedule may be a little too much for very white or susceptible skins; or it may not be as much as 8 dark or less sensi- tive skin will endure without burn ing. It is suggested merely as an example.
 Any one not accustomed to ex- posture to the midsummer midday sun is wise to- get in from under the moment he or she notices or feels that the white skin is becoming at all flushed or reddened. To continue the exposure even a few minutes longer is to invite painful burn.

mouth County Championship" :"

mOuI0 COuuCy N44dulk1OAAoIAp.
 This local event put a greater strain on the staying powers of the contestants than any of the na- tional championships. The Mon mouth County trophy is awarded to the player who, in the daily duplicate games, held c0ncurrently with the championship events, makes the best average in i've se- lected scores. Thus the winner must play in at least five sessions, and as 8 rule he cannot win without trying his fortune in at least seven.
 Today's hand is taken from the Monmouth contest of last year. It well Illustrates the difference be- tween rubber bridge and duplicate play. At rubber bridge the correct play to make four spades $ % cross-ruff. North trumps two of south,s diamonds, ruffing the sec ond with the king. South's runs North's third heart. Six trump tricks and four top tricks in the red suits maSe the contract, Geclarer losing all three cluhs ct the end.

There's . woman with the right idea. Most of the women in the country haven't the slightest idea of how they can it into national de- fense. They're willing, even eager, to help, but they don't yet know what their country would like to have them trained to do.
 They're sitting around waiting for a business-like plan that will utilize the diversified abilities of American women, both working women and housewives.
 WHAT DIFFERENCE
 DO CLOTHES MAKE?
 And while they are waiting, their enthusiasm dulling just 8 little, as 1t is bound to do, the women lead- CTS of the country are worrying about what the women, once or ganized, will wear.
 What difference does 1t make what they wear? Whether they wear house dresses, tailored suits slacks, or a Girl Scout uniform?
 We aren't getting ready for l kldtlOkld4 1COVAtaA All WAAANAA NOc- tunes are all important. The idea is for us to get ready to do the jobs that will have to be done in case of a national emergency.
 Nobody is going to care what the woman who reports an unex- ploded bomb to the proper per- son is wearing and no patient ly- ing in an ambulance is going to notice what the driver has on
 What we women had better be spending our time and thought on is finding out where we are need- ed and then getting the proper training to fill the jobs. If we're efficient at what we have to do, what we wear won't matter. After all. we're prepar. ing for the possibility of war = not a fashion show.

Miss Pearse said there was a need
for a central information service
for parents seeking nursery and
housing facilities for their chill
dren.
Nursery Schools Crowded.
Mrs. Adelia B. Heiney, chairman
of the Advisory Council on Pre-
School Education, reported that
survey of 26 nursery schools in the
Washington area conducted by the
group recently revealed they were
loaded to capacity and were turn
ing down parents regularly.
"One director of nursery in
formed us she had received as many
as 100 calls in week." Mrs. Heiney
said.
approximately 525 children are
being cared for in the 26 nurseries,
she said, pointing out that 13 Of
these schools were operating within
the District.
Mrs. Heiney also expressed the
need of a clearing house to serve
parents.

Child Welfare Division of the Board
of Public Welfare, reported that

Arbitrary Ceiling
For Rents Opposed by
Cleveland Park Unit
Association Also Goes
On Record Against 2-Cent
Cos Tax Increase

Opposition to the establishment
of an arbitrary rent ceiling in the
District and disapproval of the pro-
posed 2-cent tax increase on gaso-
line were expressed at a meeting of
the Cathedral Heights Cleveland
Park Citizens Association last night.
An original motion of opposition
to rent control was so hotly con-
tested that the association finally
drafted a resolution stating, "If rent
control is necessary 80 this asso-
citation favors the setting up of a
commission similar to that estab-
lished in 1919" An amendment
suggested a three-man board to
handle the problem. Means of ap-
pealing unfair applications of the
measure were suggested.
Capt. M. G. Cook, second vice
president of the association, offered
the motion opposing any rise in the
gas tax, explaining that one of his
reasons is that money in the past
has not been used strictly for traffic
system improvements. Culver B.
Chamberlain, president, brought to
Evening star., 1941-10-29

the attention Of the members that
money for extensive highway prof.
ects would have to be raised some
way" and opposition might bring a
sales tax or higher realty levy.
The association voted to notify the
Traffic Department Of traffic haz-
ard created by construction work at
Wisconsin avenue and Edmunds
street NV. and asked that slow
sign be placed there. Mrs. Margaret
Streeter and Mrs. S. M. Moore, jr.,
were appointed to pursue the pro-
posal.
Street lighting facilities in the
associations area and conditions in
restricted zone areas were consid-
cred. A membership drive was de-
cided on.
1t. Comdr. Alexander Macomb
was elected a delegate to the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations.
