Jumper Dress Favored
AS YearaRound Garb

The jumper dress has become a
year-round favorite. Worn in sum-
mer with sheer white blouses, and
in winter with heavier colored
blouses, the jumper makes it pos
sible to get along with fewer clothes.
Even greater variety can be OBJ
tanned by different types of blouses.
The tailored blouse, with plain turn
over collar, is appropriate for all
occasions, and the blouse with a
ripping frill down the front, or a
wide ruff1e for a collar, is more
dreSSy.
Choose blouses that are washable.
That doesn't mean they must be
white. Most colored rayons as well
as colored cottons take to water like
a duck. Wash them as soon as the
neckline, which soils quickest, shows
signs of dirt, even if the rest of the
blouse looks fairly clean. One of the
reasons for this is conservation. The
less rubbing you have to do on any
part of the blouse, the longer the
blouse will last.
White cotton blouses are perkier
if starched lightly. Some girls pre-
fer to keep the tuck-in part of the
blouse unstarched, so it will lie fiat
ter under the jumper. This can be
arranged by dipping only the top
part into the starch.

WHITE PorAro oRop PROMISES
TO SET RECORD

Consumers may expect the largest
supply of white potatoes this winter
that they have ever had, if weather
conditions remain favorable. Crop
reports, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
dictate that farmers will turn out an
all-time record of 469 million bush
els Of potatoes million bushels
more than last year.
This large crop presents storage
prob. EN-. Space must be found for
SO million bushels Facilities that
normally might have been available
are being used for storing supplies
for our armed forces
The War Food Administration
urges housekeepers who have suit
able storage place to buy and store
peck or more at o time. Potatoes are
an excellent energy food, containing
Vitamin G, Vitamin B1, iron and
o.her important minerals. Storing
them now will insure families
against possible higher prices and
diminishing supplies later
Potatoes should be kept in dark,
dry place, where the temperature
does not rise above 60 degrees or fall
below 40 degrees.
Potatoes should be caerfully in
spected for decay before storing, and
ell the bad ones removed Bruised
or cracked potatoes should be used
first since they do not keep well. II
potatoes are kept at temperatures
below 40 degrees for any length of
time, some of the starchs in them
will turn to sugar, giving them
sweet taste. This may be eliminated
by putting them in a warmer place
for about week, during which time
the sugar turns back to starch and
The material flavor is restored.
Information on how to store po-
tatoes in barre.s or pits IA the back
yard may be obtained from the De-
lIartment of Agriculture, Washing

Higher fuel cost, lower returns,
and flower diseases that attack the
vegetable crops are the major prob
lens of vegetable production under
glass that florist is apt to encoun-
ter. On the other hand, the vegeta-
bles require less labor than the flow
ers.
Important greenhouse crops are
tomatoes, leaf lettuce, cucumbers,
radishs, together with beet greens
and punching onions. Cucumbers
and radishes, however, because Of
their low vitarnin and food value,
are now classed as unessential
vegetables and their production is
not recommended.
Lettuce, beet, onion, and radish
seed is usually sown in September
to February or April for winter and
spring crops. Tomatoes, the most
important greenhouse vegetable, are
best sown in November or Deem
Der for a spring crop. The lettuce,
beets and onions are the most salts
factory winter greenhouse crops.

/. WITH WAR BONDS
Foot Care


Standing at an ironing board all
morning, or behind a counter or at
war work all day, may sometimes
result in hot, tired feet. When feet
ache and burn, the whole body
seems out of kilter.
One of the simplest ways is to soak
the feet alternately in warm soapy
water and in cool clear water. Sit
down comfortably while the feet
are soaking so the whole body can
relax. End with the cool water,
then dry the feet gently with soft
clean towel. Sprinkle with talcum
or foot powder.
Put on clean stockings or socks,
and wear a different pair of shoes.
Doctors warn against wearing loose
bedroom slippers or 'down-at-the-
heel shoes while doing q job that
calls for long standing. Take tip
from our men and women in uniform
and wear well-fitting low-heeled OK
fords if you have to be on your feet
a lot. At least one of the shoe ration
coupons should be used for footwear
that gives firm support and helps
prevent fatigue.

Shinyard Dollars

Shipyard dollars are finding their
way into the economic current of
every state in the Union. Shipbuild-
ing is currently on the greatest scale
the world has ever witnessed. Our
privately operated shipyards employ
well over million workers. Their
weekly earnings substantially top the
durable goods industry and general
manufacturing rates. In 1913, our
payrolls will be very close to three
billion dollars as compared with an
estimated ~ billion for 1912.
Shipbuilding for deep sea service
is no longer confined to coastal
areas. Substantial tonnages of ma
val, coast guard and commercial
vessels are being built in our Great
Lakes and river shipyards. This
means that shipbuilding wage dol
lars are being earned, spent and
saved in over two dozen states. Ship
building generates the employment
of another million workers in the
allied marine field, thus being re-
sponsib1e for additional payrolls of
about two billion dollars.

Snakes Dislike Sunlight
Save for Brief Exposure

Contrary to popular belief, snakes
''dislike sunlight except for the brief
est exposure" says Charles M. Bo-
CERT of New York city, curator OF
recent amphibians and reptiles in
the American Museum of Natural
History.
"Most snakes are nocturnal" Mr..
Bogert says. They prefer to do
their hunting at night. Many snakes
are secretive; they remain hidden
much of the time, and even when
they are abroad their colors so COM
pletely harmonic with their sur
roundings that it is difficult to see
them. / have seen 40 people walk
within a yard of three-foot rattle
snake and fail to see it,"
"Venomeus serpents are equipped
with fangs primarily for the pur-
pose of killing their prey" says Mr..
Bogert, who has investigated the
habits of American, African, Austria
liam and Asiatic reptiles. "Ordinari-
ly snakes venture forth from their
seclusion only to mate or to feed.
They do not wander about aimlessly
as was formerly thought.
eff a snake has fangs it is ven
omous," he continues. ''No other
single character provides a reliable
means of distinguishing harmless
snakes from venomous snakes. All
rattlesnakes are venomous, Of
course, but many snakes related to
the cobras look specifically like
harmless serpents''

OvER-CEILING RENTS

Lucien E. D. Gaudreau, State Rent
Executive, states that complaints are
coming to the Area Rent Office that
many rooming houses are charging
over-ceiling rents to War Workers
and Service men. Investigations have
been made and this is found to be
true.
Under Federal Regulations for
Rooming Houses the rates for all
rooms showing daily, weekly and
monthly rates, and the number of
persons for each room, are required
to be posted in each room. Investiga-
ton reveals that in most instances
this is not being done. Tenants are
entitled to ask to see copy of the
landlords registration form showing
the rates approved by the OPA, and
check the same against the room
posting. Tenants should request and
receive a receipt for all payments
made for rooms.
Many operators of rooming houses
are conforming in every way with
the Rent Control requirements. 9th
ers are violating the regulations and
are deliberately trading on the war
effort and charging rates, sometimes
greatly in excess of the ceiling
prices. The Area Rent Office is doing
everything possible to prevent this
form of imitation, and asks the CO.
operation of all landlords in comply
ing with the regulations, and of ten
ants to demand to see the approved
registration form, the postings in the
rooms, and obtain receipts for rents
paid Teants may report to the Area
Office apparent violations of the Rent
Control requirements. Landlords who
are in doubt as to the requirements
of the regulations should consult
the Area Rent Office.

FARM CROPS IN INDUSTRY

The industrial use of farm pro-
ducts, which was started on its way
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and which received the
hearty approval of Henry Ford and
other nationally known manufactur-
ers, has no doubt played an import
ant part in the strain placed upon
the farmers of the country to keep
both food and industrial crops at
the maximum of need for the dura-
ton of the war. Once the war is over,
it is expected that the industrial uses
of farm crops will be much extended.
Alcohol from corn to make certain
types of synthetic rubber; the soy
bean Ito make plastics-these are
but two of the well-known uses OF
farm products for industrial pur-
poses.
One nationally known commenta-
tor recently expressed the view that
synthetics might result in a detri-
ment to our country. He also feels
that autos have robbed the farm
of it's manure and the Punishment
of horses from the farm has made
it unnecessary to grow hay and oats;
hence, these crops, once used to
cover the soil, are no longer avail
able.
AS to the loss of manure because
of the use of tractors instead of
horses, commercial fertilizers will
fill that gap. There was time, some
years ago, when farmers were charg-
ed with neglecting their farms in
order to go joy-riding in their cars.
But those days have passed, and in
stead of synthetics hurting the farm
er, they are giving him an ever big
ger market for his crops.
In July, word came that the U. s.
Department of Agriculture had CIV
en- its approval to an idea tested and
proved by an Ohio farmer, Edward
H. Faulkner, who, in his newly pub
lished report, "Plowman's Folly"
University of Oklahoma Press, tells
of his success in disk-harrowing the
soil instead of blowing it. Slowly
perhaps, but none the less surely,
science and practical experience are
combining to bring about new and
better methods to make for greater
production and higher standard of
living for the laborer, as we'll as for
the employer.

Oueer Names

The Gloucestermen knew the sea
and how to secure from it great
catches of fish for the hungry col
'onists.
They started out using a vessel
known as Chebacco boat, then a
small craft. The size of their YES
sells steadily increased and the de-
sign changed, too, as the demand
for their fish expanded with the pass
ing Of time.
In. progression, they used types of
ships bearing the following local
names: dogbodies, pinkies, heeltap-
pers, sharpshooters and file bottoms.
At long last came the schooner,
sailing craft ideally constructed for
their special needs.

THE FIGHT OVER oLEO

Fever since 1893 when the New
York State legislature passed bill
taxing the new substitute butter"
made from cottonseed oil, the butter
producers of the North and the cot
ton growers of the South have been
going it hammer and tongs. The fight
still RACES, despite a butter shortage
that will get a lot worse before it
gets better.
Five months ago, Iowa State Col
lege issued a pamphlet titled, "Put-
ting Dairying on a Wartime Foot
ing" which said, boldly, that oleo-
margarine sis as nutritious as but
ter" The states Farm Bureau bark
ed first. By mid-July Iowa States
campus was black with butter lobby
lists and milk producers, all drooling
for the scalp of DR.. Theodore w.
Schultz, the Harvard graduate who
headed up the colleges Department
of Agricultural Economics.
Eventually, the college backed
down on the statement. On October
DR.. Schultz resigned, moved 400
miles east to the University of Chi
cago. Latest report is that the Amer
lean Association of University Pro-
lessons will investigate.
Through it all, oleo production
kept booming. The output for the ifs
cal year ending June 80 totalled
54S,467,888 lbs, compared to $685.
S04,719 for the previous twelve
months.

A cross-section of the membership
of Christ Methodist Church, New
York City, approves ''some kind of
world organization" after the war,
believes that "the terms of peace af-
ter this war to be of deep Christian
concern" and thinks "our Church
should participate in building sup
port for a peace based upon Christ
ian principles" A QUESTIONABLE, sub
mittedl by the church's Postwar
Committee, revealed that 143 per-
sons favor a monthly forum for a
study of postwar plans and SO ap-
prove weekly study group meetings
for six-week period for more
thorough study. Some opposition was
registered to questions concerning
economic and political justice for
all peoples, and the proposal for per-
sonal sacrifices "for winning the
peace similar to those required for
winning the war"
