F HONS For
Men
BY BARCLAY SWAIN

THE cleaning and storing OF
your winter wardrobe this year
is a more important business than
it ever was. 1t may be the last all
wool clothing you will see in a
long time. If you want really TO be
extra careful of good oVercoats
and suits, the safest thing to do
with them is to send them TO a
reputable cleaners establishment
and have them dry cleaned. This
process will surely remove all spots
on which moths might feed, and
will destroy any eggs that might
have been laid in the garments.
II the garments are especially
valuable to you and you haven't
a place to store them, many clean
erS can do so for you at a small
charge. Be sure you have tight
paper bags, and plenty Of moth
preventatives to put in them II
you hang up your clothes at home.
Both will be getting scarce, so IN
vestigate the situation.
Help the Cleaners
The Nat iona Association OF
Cleaners and Dyers points out that
you should cooperate with your
local cleaner because Of war short
ages. Don't expect those metal
wire hangers with your suits. They
used 1900 tons Of metal for them
last year. which won't be available
any more. If you have clothes TO
be called for, do be home and
ready for the man calling for
them. for tires are short and gas
is rationed.
II you are going TO put away
your own clothes, be exceedingly
careful this year. Brush them
thoroughly, remove all spots and
hang them in the sun for a long
time. When 1t comes to putting
them away. get a moth proof
paper bag which you are sure is
air-tight. Use plenty of paradi-
chlorbenzine or camphor flakes or
balls. A handy place to distribute
them is in the pockets. Hang the
clothes in the bags on hangers. Do
so carefully so that the shape is
preserved.
Beware Of Moths
Be sure the closet you put them
in is free Of moths. 1t is better TO
have your clothes cleaned before
you put them away, than TO wait
till the fall, for this is a better
protection against moths.
Have your tailor mend Innings
and make repairs now to clothes
that you store. 1t will not only
improve their wear and ut, but
will make them serve you longer.
An odd note We have come
across states that officers uniforms.

Still Gilbert isn't learning, and
mother is beginning to believe that
he doesn't want TO, which OF course
is ridiculous. To begin with, Gilbert
always regrets his mistake at once.
He doesn't like trouble. Sometimes
his own footsteps on the clean kit

and he will go back TO wipe his
shoes or remove his rubbers. But by
then the damage already has been
done. and from mothers stand
point there is no difference, as
there's still the stained linoleum to
be cleaned.
To be sure, Gilbert is torgetful,
but the underlying difficulty seems
to be just a lack OF appreciation OF
a clean floor. Unless one has swept
or scrubbed a floor himself, the
value of keeping one clean can have
no real meaning for him. Assign a
youngster to the chore Of hopping
up the Kitchen floor some saturday

mother doubts his ability to do a
good job, she should get ready for
him the necessary cleansing mate
rials and supervise him step by step.

~ACk IN the Spring OF l77I
when Betsy Ross got out hei
- sewing basket and sat dowr
TO put the first American flag
together, she never dreamed that
a day would come when Old
Glory would be turned out by the
thousands.
But If that patriot of the turb-
ulent Revolutionary days could
return to earth today and see
what a huge business the max
ing of our flag has become
especially since the japanese at
tack on Pearl Harbor-she'd
hardly believe it.
Modern-day flag making, with
its steadily whirring production
line, has gone a long way since
the day when 25-year-old Betsy,
after laboriously fashioning and
timidly submitting our first flag
to the Continental Congress for
its approval, received that coveted
honor on June Ia, 1777.
Today scores of factories turn
out the Star and Stripes on day
and night shifts by the thousands.
In addition to the American
standards needed by our armed
forces, hundreds of thousands of
others are being made to keep
pace with the steadily increasing
demands of our civilians.
Betsy Ross. who set up bust
ness as a Philadelphia flagmaker
after Congress gave her the or
ders for all government flags,
used to take several days to
fashion a replica Of the red and
white stripes and the 13 stars.
Today, during the same length
of time, several thousand flags
can be and are produced.
Making the modern flag today,
just as in the days of Betsy Ross.
still is a labor of love. And de-
spite the machine production,
flaoworkers tenderly handle the
Stars and Stripes, and strictly
adhere to the rules for it's care.
1t was Betsy Ross who first
suggested the use Of the five
point star on the flag. Carefully
ruling off these points, she used
to cut them out with scissors,
one by one. Today giant presses
punch out hundreds of stars with
but one stroke.
These snowy stars are then
sewed on to the blue field with
electric machines. and the stripes
of red and white are similarity
attached. Flags. except in the
case of extremely large ones, are
not made individually, but in
long lengths which are rolled into
bolts much like tailors' suiting.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-04-19

These bolts used TO be stored
and the individual flags cut off
as needed. But now the demand
is so great that there is no
storing of the bunting, and every
flag is rushed out of the factory.
When Betsy first launched the
American flag. she also started
an industry for women-and,
true to that tradition. most of
our flagworkers today are young
girls.
