To the Editor of Tn. Star:
have read with much interest your
editorial on Juvenile Vandalism" Your
statement, however, that the Central
Northwestern part is the hotbed is out
of order, since the depredations of these
boys extend over all parts of the city
and suburbs. I have heard amazing as
counts of the destruction caused by such
children. Living in the city of Wash
ington in the Northwest section, I suf-
fered personally from such vandalism,
and was forced to appeal to the police
for protection Appealing to the parents
was useless. They informed me their
children, mostly boys, could 60 where
they pleased. Finally, We moved out of
the city.
At this time, however, in this peaceful
suburb where we have lived quietly and
safely for 10 years, we are being in
undated by that same style of boy that
we fed from the city to avoid. 1t would
seem that the mischief of these young
vandals is infinitely greater than that
from which We fed In the city. So, you

MAKE TWO VERSIONS OF CLEVER APRON

Just what you need to brighten up that kitchen-a gay new Claire Tilden apronl You can take your choice Of several versions in Pattern 420. Apron B has rounded neck line accented by a daintily scalloped yoke. The pockets are rounded too, and look charming edged with ruf- fling together with the yoke. The ruffling is continued on the back bodice, which is cut all in one piece to keep from slipping of your shoulders; the apron ties at the waist. Version A is gay too - the center panel is cut with a V neck and rounded dip at the hem. It's made of contrast for a strikingly slim effectl Use the square-shaped pockets on this apron and make them, too, of contrast. Pointed ric- rae to outline the center panel is optional so is the button trim on either apron. You'll find the Sewing Guide shows you how to stitch these up in a jiffy. If your kitchen is decorated in two colors, why not make an apron to match, using the same two shades for con- traSt? Or make an apron as a gift and have 1t match your friends kitchen.
 Pattern APO is cut in sizes small (32-3D, medium (36-38) and large (40-42). Small size, view A, requires 1 3-4 yards 35 inch fabric and 1-4 yards contrast; view B, 3-4 yards 35 inch fabric.
