You can't have too many blouses
and skirts for this immediate sea-
son and to wear all through the
summer. You'll want them for street
and general wear, and also for active
sports. Here's a practical pattern
that you can use for both. The SLIM
hipped skirt, with smart inverted
pleats that make it look graceful
and insure walking comfort, can
be cut off short as playsuit, or low
cred to street length. Tweed, fan
mel, Jersey and wool crepe are good
choices for street wear. Garbardlne,
linen, gingham for sports. .
The smooth-s -shouldered blouse is
at once tailored enough and casual
enough to adapt itself to both pur-
poses, too. 1t has convertible neck
line, envelope pockets, and the pat
tern provides for both long and short
sleeves. In satin, fiat crepe, linen
and batiste it will be smart with
your suits as we'll as your street
skirts. And, of course, if you make
blouse and skirt of matching fabric
you'll have a complete two-piece
frock! So you see the possibilities
of this pattern are practically limit
less-and you'll find it very easy
to make.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

ny lhOHNION w. bUhOESS.
1t certainly is queer what a diff
ference there is between being in
side and outside. Sometimes hap
piness is inside and sometimes it is
outside. Sometimes the one who is
inside wishes with all his might
that he was outside and sometimes
the one who is outside would give
anything in the world to be inside.
Just take the case of Reddy Fox.
You remember that he had stolen
inside Of Farmer Browns henyard,
leaving the gate halfway open. He
had set himself to work to open the
little sliding door through which in
the daytime the hens passed in
and out of the henhouse. AS he
worked he had been filled with great
contentment and joy. You see, he
knew that Bowser the Hound had
disappeared. He felt sure that there
was nothing to fear and he fully
expected to dine that night on
chicken. Then along had come a
mischievous little Night Breeze and
swung that gate shut.
At the click of the latch Reddy
turned his head and in a flash he
saw what had happened. All in an
instant everything had changed for
Reddy Fox. Fear and despair took
the place of contentment and happy
anticipations. He was q prisoner in
side that henyard.
Frantically Reddy rushed over to
the gate. There wasrt even a crack
through which he could thrust his
sharp little nose. Then, beside
himself with fear, he raced around
that henyard seeking a hole through
which he might escape There
wasn't any hole. That fence had
been built to keep out such people
as Reddy Fox and, of course fence
that would keep Reddy out would
also keep him in If he happened to
be caught inside, as he now was.
He couldn't dig down under it be-
cause you know the ground was
frozen hard and covered with snow
and an icy crust. He couldn't climb
the wire. He was caught, and that
was all there was to it.
Suddenly Reddy became aware of
some one just outside the wire fence
looking in and grinning wickedly.
1t was Old Man Coyote. Between
them was nothing but that wire, yet,
oh, what difference Reddy was
inside and a prisoner. Old Man
Coyote was outside and free.
Good evening, Reddy," said Old
Man Coyote. Il hope you'll enjoy
your chicken dinner. When you are
eating 1t just think over this bit
of advice: Never take a risk when
you can get some one else to take
it for you. 1 would like chicken
dinner myself, but as it is I think I
will enjoy mouse or two better.
Pay my respects to Farmer Browns
Boy when he comes in the morn
ing"
With this Old Man Coyote once
more grinned that wicked grin of
his and trotted away toward the
Green Forest. Reddy watched him
disappear and would have given
anything in the world to have been
outside in his place instead of in
side where he then was.

THE FIRST PLASTIC AUTOMOBILE

Henry Ford's first plastic automobile
has been exhibited to the public, represent
ing the result of twelve years research by
a group of young scientists, ordered to find
out about using agricultural products in
industry.
Mounted on a tubular-welded steel
frame the car has superstructure made of
plastic, said to be superior to steel in every
thing but tensile strength. The plastic
body, costing more than one of metal,
weighs nearly 1000 pounds while steel
unit of comparable size weighs about 5000
pounds.
Mr.. Ford is confident that plastic
bodies can be produced by practical and
economical means, with some savings as a
result of fewer fabrieating finishing opera
tions.
The pliability of the plastic panel was
tested by the auto maker who hit it with an
axe. The plastic panel was unchanged
after blow but similar experiment with
a steel panel cut through the metal
+. Robert Boyer, young research chemist
who started the research which led to the
plastic car said that million automobiles
with plastic bodies, would consume 100000
bales of cotton, 100000 bushels of wheat,
100000 bushels of soybeans and 100000
bushels of corn.

ductiOn of this first plastic car" and the

AND THEN WHAT

Comptroller j. NJ. Lee, when he
whacked four mills off Monroe county's
tentative budget this week, put the local
beard of commissioners in spot from
which they will have difficulty extricating
themselves.
First thing to go under the eomptrol.
lers axe was relief and health money here,
and the residents OF the Marathon key sec
ton came in for a backhanded slap inlme-
diately after that when Lee ordered elm
sination of the mill which was to have pro-
yidea them with an airport site.
IN all, the comptroller's action in cut
ting the budget from IL to seven mills
leaves the commissioners with what they
consider a near-impossible job of govern
ment for the next year. Although the
average taxpayer probably viii appreciate
the reduced millage, the commissioners
have good reason for thinking Lee was dis
tinctly on the arbitrary side when he blue
pencilIed" the budget without giving them
time to explain any of the local problems
How it worked out makes rather in
teresting example of past sins catching up.
When the legislature this year made it
mandatory for counties to assess their prop
erty at 100 per cent, it was an obvious next
step to make it mandatory that millage
come down. In other words, if citizens
property was to be valued at 81 900 in
stead of the old 25 per cent rate of 81 900.
if would be negotiable to increase his taxes
four times, too, by staying at the old
millage of 81.
In that respect, Lees action is per-
fectly just, since he ordered the commission
to set its millage at reduced rate exactly
proportionate to the sos increase in Mon
roe valuations
The commissioners, however, are off
base at two points, and in one, at least, the
responsibility is not their own First, the
commission last year did not run the county
on the 81 mills set up in the budget, since
the board spent $4,000 more than had
been planned. If they had set the millage
high enough to cover that figure last year,
the reduction would not have been so stiff
now.
Second, the county has grown in pop
ulation since the millage was set last year,
and the proportion of tax money to be col
lected now is in lower ratio to population
than it was then.
What it all adds up to is this:
Lee has ordered the commission to OPP
crate the county on a figure less than what
it spent last year, while population has in
creased and demands for federal sponsor
ship have multiplied and are multiplying.
Plus that, county defense spending is
going up, and the state has thoughtfully ar
ranged for that to be financed by with
drawals from any of the other funds-leav-
ing the commissioners the alternative of
starving county defense or starting mutiny
among county employees by taking their
salary money for the defense items.
