It's Thrifty, Smart
to RenOvate Clothes

IT'S NO TRICK to make over
old dresses into smart new ones,
if you use ingenuity in re-styling
garments with decorative Jokes,
inset sleeves, draped peplums
and flaring tunics. The correct
fit of q re-made garment, of
course, is quite as important as
that of a brand new one. A dress
form, if you are working on
clothes for yourself, will do
much to facilitate this important
part of the job. If you do not
have a satisfactory dress form,
investigate the new moulded
forms at your local sewing CEN
ter.
Be sure when you start your
make-over plans to rip old
clothes carefully so that you do
not lose valuable material by
cutting it away. Before you start
to recut the fabric have it clean
ed and pressed flat, so that you
have an unwrinkley surface on
which to lay the patteri. You'll
find it easier to make all pattern
alterations on the dress form be-
fore it is placed on the material.

Vacuum Cleaners
Deserve Cherishing

NOW THAT the supply of new
vacuum cleaners is limited, your
old cleaner, il working, takes on
added value. So cherish 1t. Peri
odical checks and adjustments
by a reliable service man will
help to lengthen its life and give
you most efficient use. Intelli-
ent care on your own part Is
important, too.
So don't neglect emptying the
dust bag after each using-brush
out all the clinging dust; don't
expect it to pick up everything
sharp, hard particles may dam
age it; don't wind the electric
cord around sharp surfaces that
will cut or fray the covering,
step on cord, drag along floor, or
disconnect by pulling on cord
instead of grasping plug. Do
store your cleaner in a proper
place-where 1t will be protect
ed from dust, as we'll as knocks.

L. s. Forces Poised
to Strike Again

CRY International NeWs Scr, lcel
Washington. Aug l9-lNS-Ja-
pan today Is beginning to pay the
price OF over extended supply and
communication lines as American
forces remain poised TO strike again
from bases seized in the initial
phase of the Solomon Islands bat
tie in the southwest Pacific.
This was the consensus in OF.
fetal Washington as further re-
ports were awaited on recent de-
velopments in the Guadalcanal-
Tulagi area. in which [. s. Ma
rines have been developing and
probably extending their positions
following the first successful coun-
ter blow against the Japs
While naval experts conceded
that Japan still is a formidable foe
and asserted that the enemy may
attempt TO retake lost positions.
they added that Nippon nndoubtad-
ly is feeling the pinch Of warship
transport and plane losses suffered
in eight months of war
The Nays latest communique
dealt merely with the early, victor
ious phase of the Solomns battle,
up TO and including Aug. 3. Since
then, 1t was believed that supplies
and some reinforcements have
reached the Marine vanguard
Presumably land lighting still is
continuing in the Solomons be-
tween remaining Nipponese forces
and the lighting Marines.
War analysts admitted that the
Japs still may be able TO muster a
powerful invasion armada either
for a blow against the Marines in
the Solomons or against some other
United Nations base in an attempt
to force dispersal OF American sea
and air strength.
II was explained, however. that
Nippon probably would deploy its
remaining sea forces wisely TO
avert a repetition Of the Midway
Island rout in which so enemy war
ships and auxiliary vessels were
forced 10 retreat after more than
one-fourth of them were sunk or
damaged
Obviously any further depletion
Of Japans sea power might leave
japanese garrisons stranded on
invasion points through
out the southwest Pacific.
