THE covering of many chintz
l chairs today is hand sewn to
the chair padding. Such covers
have trim lines and may be ripped
off easily for cleaning or washing.
The sketch at the lower left shows
how covered cord welting is bast-
ed and stitched to outside pieces
of the cover which have been cut
on the chair with an accurate
seam allowance. When the seam
edges have been pressed back the
piece is pinned on and sewn with
matching heavy duty thread, as at
the lower right.

the report states, that a national
committee of the securities industry
should be established for co-ordina
ton and direction of efforts to aid
the treasury in financing the war
The new national committee
promptly was set in motion on the
request by the treasury for assist
ance, and a nationwide coverage uf
corporations hastily was impro-
vised. Results are said to have been
most gratifying both to the treasury
and to the committee, despite the
brief time allowed for the task.

Empty spaces in her heart; no
use making hot cakes on this frosty
morning; she can't eat them and
they aren't permitted on Dads diet.
No use picking up a small paddock
and chain, a dolls hat, a box of
crayons in the store; nobody at
home is small enough to Shrek with
excitement when they are presented.
If those early days called for
strength of mind and body, these
later ones make even heavier de-
mands on her soul.
Her Duty Is to Be Happy.
Resign yourself to being to your
children only the loved memory of
their happy youth. Never question
them as to how often they write you
or come to see you. Their lives are
parted irrevocably from yours now;
such services as you can do them
or the grandchildren are just so
much pure gold, pressed down and
running over the richness of life.
Nothing is your fright" your
"due," to be claimed with COM
plants and reproaches.
Your duty is to be happy, busy,
preoccupied, without any reference
to them. The mother of whom sons
and daughters boast is the mother
whose life is independently, indi-
vidually occupied, so that to keep be-
loved grandchildren over a week
end, or go to sons house for an
interval of housekeeping or nursing
during the younger wife's absence,
is to grant a favor.
So much for duty, a mothers last
duty to the children. But those chill
dren have a duty, too, and now
when the year brings around Moth
er's day it is duty so mixed with
love, pleasure, memory, and honor
that its warmth and beauty fill the
land. Flower shops, candy makers,
telegraph boys, telephone operators,
mail men, are all kept busy while
American sons and daughters turn
back for just one happy day, to think
of Mother.
Needs Message.
And believe me, speaking for all
mothers today, no matter how busy
that wonderful mother of yours may
be, no matter how sensibly and
bravely she has accepted the facts
of your marriage, your absorption
in things outside her reach, she's
going to remember that it's Moth
er's day; she's going to keep one
ear free for the telephone, the other
for the doorbell; her heart and her
prayers are going to follow you
wherever you are-in camp, in the
air, far off on the dangerous blue
seas.
A Canadian woman showed me a
letter she received last Mothers
day. No money on earth could buy
the penciled half-sheet a young fiier
sent home to his mother that day.
It said, Loving you, having glo-
rious time, praying every night for
Nom. Davy."
This year she won't have any let
ter. But she's got that one safe.
These are dark days for mothers;
your mother needs a message from
you this Mothers day as she never
did before.
Because she went down to the
very gate of death for you, so many
years ago; because you were the
joy of her life in those long years
when everyone else thought of you
as merely shat croupy Baker baby,
the one with his front teeth out
the one who never gets anything bet
ter than c plus-that wild Indian
who's broken his arm again-that
everlasting pest with his bicycle and
skates" remember her today.

Rv KATHLEEN NORRIS
MOOD mothers are the mos

ValuaDle tnlng In the
~ world. All the love, APP
probation, respect, honor that
good mothers get isn't one-tenth
enough for them. No nation has
ever been just in recognizing
what good mothers do; mothers
are never publicly rewarded;
they get no decorations, no high
places. But the fact remains
that they are the most valuable
persons in the world.
Mothers lives have two phases.
The first is giving; the second is
receiving. They like the giving
years best; they love the time when
the children are small, when love
and service keep them busy every
moment of the day, when they drop
into bed exhausted every night. 1t
is one of the Divine DEGREES that
good mother shall love her job.
To the skeptical, sophisticated out
sider's eye that job looks dull
enough. It means the early sum-
mons of an alarm clock, cold dark
kitchen turned into a place of
warmth and light; it means bub-
bling oatmeal and the opening of
milk-bottles; it means crib blankets
to air, school lunches, rubbers, good
bye kisses, telephone, grocer, pick
ing up small pajamas, making small
beds, planning of meals, baking of
potatoes, help with homework,
dishes to wash, scratches and bumps
to soothe, cough medicine, scolding,
guiding, judging, consoling, advis-
ing.
An Endless List.
This list of the normal cares and
duties of good mother could go
on for several columns before we
come to the emergencies and great
occasions that make special de-
mands on her; events like Christ
mas, parties, illnesses, accidents,
moves to new neighborhoods, fnan-
cial crises. All these Mother has to
meet, and it is upon Mothers atti-
tude toward them that the whole
family's position depends.
For Mother is the family weather
vane. If she is cheerful, if home is
pleasant place to which to return,
if she likes her job, then everyone
is happy, and the benefit derived
by her husband and children from
her strength and fineness is beyond
all calculating. It will 60 with those
children through every day of their
lives. A happy, unburdened, un-
afraid childhood actually means
happy, unafraid life. No money can
buy that particular security, but
Mother-and only Mother-can give
it.
Outwardly drudgery, her busy,
self-sacrifcing, firing days. But in
wardly they are filed with that glo-
ry that comes to human beings who
are living their destined lives to
the full.
The second phase of a mothers
life is the hard one. All through her
girlhood and young woman-hood and
proud maturity she has been hear
ing that there is agony ahead; the
agony of having the children grow
up, become independent, select their
own mates and go into the world to
live their own lives. But that is a
pain that must be experienced to
be appreciated.
The children simply don't need
her any more. She can't quite be-
ieve it! The tumbled beds and tum-
bled heads, the torn frocks and cut
fingers, the Christmas surprises and
vacation trips, the young, sweet
faces pressed against hers, the lam
guild small hand of the little con-
valescent reaching for her own-all
gone! Empty rooms in her house.

Army ReIaxes Ban
On Office Seeking

WASHINGTON, April 2. (UP)-
The war department ruled today
that members of the National guard,
reserve officers and selectees- may
enter political races and hold pub
lie office under certain circum-
stances.
The ruling on political activity OF
military personnel does not apply to
the regular army, whose members
are barred in all cases from partic-
ipation in political activities. The
ruling on guardsmen, reserves and
selectees stemmed from a policy
formulated last Sept. 26 by the ad-
jutant general.
At that time, prior to U. S. entry
into war, the adjutant general not
ed that certain members OF the
reserve components, now on extend
ed active duty, are in leave status
from public offices held by them
prior to entering upon active duty
and that some may wish to seek
election or reelection during tnelr
period of active duty
The adjutant general held that II
the affected person cfould accom-
plish his campaign on his ordinary
leave and if the election and occu-
pancy of civil office would not in
terfere with military duties the war
department would consider exempt
ing him from army regulations
against politica, activities.

adding that there is evidence of
additional Axis losses which are
being Withheld until complete re-
ports are received and until it is
certain that publication of the in
formation will not be of value to
the evening. Last nights report
showed thai Ii of the submarines
were sunk in the Atlantic and seven
in the Pacific. In addition, a Japa-
nese midget submarine was captured
during the attack ON Pearl harbor.
The navy's share of the total was
"a: army airmen were credited with
four. Earlier yesterday the navy
announced the destruction OF three
of the raiders, two by naval fliers
and one by the army. One of the
naval pilots was Donald Francis
Mason, 28-year-old enlisted man
from Rochester, Mimi, who got his
second submarine, his second decor
