q weapon for combating the grow
ing cost Of living.
Mrs. II. M. Odfken, weIl-an0wn
Canadian advertising executive, who
heads the clothing conservation
drive, points out: ut Is surprising
what you can do In the way Of re-
making old clothes, an art which
women have always practiCed, but
have not needed 50 much in Can
ada IN recent years.
I'VE waste entirely too much
clothing. Too much Of It is LETT TO
hang forever I'm closets. People don't
seem to realize that children's skirts,
dresses and blouses can be made
from the dresses and blOuses Of big
sister, that snOw-ufts can be made
from old blankets, infants ClOtking
from old flannel suits and shirts.
This is the idea We want 10 put
over"
The leading patteTumakgTs OR the
United States and Canada, aided BY
textile manufacturer, have for the
first time Joined hands to develop
patterns for this rgInodeling cam
paign. They have developed q xIif-
ferent garments which can be made
from old clothes and al patterns
conform to Canadian Style-fre6zlug
regulations. The first showing Of
Fem0deled clothes made from these
wartime style patterns was at the
'Remake Revue" held at Toronto
last month.
Following the well-attendeta DEM
constructions of what can be glgne I'm
remaking old clothes, instruction
centers are being set up IN the aaEg-
er cities TO act as sn0llels Uf local
instruction Centers, operated by VOL
unteers from WUIuenss organization
In every community.
An illustrated booklet giving prac-
teal working patterns and fun in
structicns is being given TO Can
adam women, SO they can put into
practice the examples SEEN at public
shOWings. They VIII also get talks
and demonstrations On how to care
for and repair simple TROUBLES ON
their sewing machines.

news in war kitchens. A new g.
page booklet on how to grow vege-
tables, how to cook them and how
to can them deserves attention.

prepared by American Womens

rection Of Mrs. Addison s. Pratt.
Costs little and does q lot. Let's look
at green's recipes.
Greens
Beet tops, chard, danedlion
greens, leekS. spinach and similar
greens may be used in any Of the
recipes for greens.
Examine all greens and wash
them carefully, discarding any wilt
ed or yellow leaves. Leave the roots
on for the first washing as this
makes the green's easier to handle.
then cut them OF to allow q more
thorough cleansing. Wash in at
least three waters, lifting the greens
out Of the pan before emptying the
water so that the sand and other
impurities will be left In the bot
tom Of the pan. Use little or no
water in cooking them-cook only
until tender-l0 to Is minutes.
Hot Greens on Toast
One pint cooked greens, table
spoon onion Juice. 2 tablespoons
horseradish, la cup sour cream,
crisp bacon, cucumber pickle.
Chop the greens and heat them.

We Are All Americans

We hold all wars to be

is drawn into war, however,

to do all in their power to

its present war.

PUBLIC WARNED
ON BAD CHECKS
Social Security Cards Not
Adequate For Full
Identification

Banks, stores and other bust
ness concerns who have occasion
to cash checks for the public
should not accept social security
cards as personal Identification, :"
N. R. Avera, head of the Whining
ton Social Security board, said
Friday.
1T has been learned" he con-
tinued, that in various large cities,
throughout the country, blank
checks which were stolen from
business houses have been filled
out and cashed, on the strength
of a social security card which
the payee presented as identifica-
ton. One thief was brought to
justice after he had forged and
cashed six different checks, US
ing social security cards in each
instance as Identification.
Another report says that
group of five boys use, this pre-
carious method of securing money.
They obtained checks, in various
ways and used their own social
security cards as Identification.
The fact that the boys landed in
Jail was of little solace to the
banks and the merchants who
cashed their forged checks, for it
was the payer in each case who
was left to bear the loss"
