From the crown of a mans
felt hat, cut a scalloped cap (top
sketch), fold the top over and
tack it down (bottom sketch) i,
add a bright, tall quill and you
have the smart calot seen in

Want a new and really "eX-
elusive hat? It's a cinch if you
have a pair of scissors, one of
dads discarded felt hats and, de-
sirable, but not essential, some
feathers, ribbon or flowers for
trimming. And, of course, a little
ingenuity. The illustrations shown
here will give you start and
some practice. After you have
made these you can 60 on and
develop your own ideas, making as
many bonnets as you have old
hats. And incidentally, smart
little calot like one of these makes
an original Christmas gift for a

Brief Stae And World News During The Past Week
CONGRESSMAN INQUIRE
IN NEWSPRINT SLASH

Washington - A group of con-

motives in curtailing the use OF
paper by newspapers, magazines
and other publications.
Rep. Bradley (R., Mich.) said
he would introduce Monday a
resolution directing the house

the Investigation and as certain
whether any agency contemplates
: program aimed at "the curtail-
ment in any manner whatsoever
OF the dissemination of news" or
seeks "to change our domestic
economy"
Representatives Halleck (R.,

wrote the resolution after a meet
ing attended by officials of the

WPB Cuts Out Frills And
FurbelOws On All Shoes

Washington - The government
has put a ceiling on the height of
heels for women's shoes, ruled
out leather-covered platform eff
fects, and restricted shoe colors
to four-black, white, army rus
set and town brown
In the same order the War Pro-
duction board prohibited entirely
the manufacture of mems patent
leather shoes, women's formal
evening slippers, and metal-spik-
ed golf shoes for either sex.
Leather frills, bows and orna-
mental tongues also were banned,
in a general overhauling of shoe
restrictions to conserve leather
for army use and to spread the
! available supplies for the ration
ed civilian population.
This years output Of civilian
footwear will be about one-fourth
less than the 1941 production,
1886, 100000 as against AL 100000,
! WPB estimated. Despite the re-
strictions, the agency promised
that there would be enough pat
terms to provide "ample style
variety" along with staple foot
wear.
Consumers will not feel the eff
feet of the shoe-streamlining Or
der to any extent until next fall,
it was said, because the spring
lines already are being manufac-
tured or ne on their way to deal
ers.
The restrictions on color, elm
mating blue and turf tan, were
adopted to reduce the number OF
styles carried by retailers and
thereby increase the number OF
shoes and sizes which dealers can
offer in a given style.
A limitation of So inches was
put on the height of the heels on
women's shoes, using size 4-B as
the standard; in other words
larger footsizes would have
slightly higher heels. Platform
soles and platform effects were
forbidden for all footwear hav-
ing a heel height of more than
| 5-8 inches, while leather-cov-
ened platforms or leather plat
form effects were forbidden on
any footwear.
Among the furbelows ruled out
were kiltie tongues, if made Of
leather.
