By MARGARET NOVEL;

The mending basket probably has
seen more action this last year than
1t has since Grandma used to tat.
With another year of buying only
what we need, and making every
thing we have do" there are any
number of sewing tricks that will
help save our pride.
None of us cares for old worn,
grubby looking clothes or house fur
nishings. Neither are we especially
thrilled by patches and darns. But
a bit of gay camouflage often
changes the makeshift into a smart
creation and we all wonder why we
never thought of it before. So salve
your pride by being the cleverest
wartime patcher you ever knew.
Since good Irish linen became
scarce, many of us used our tea and
luncheon cloths sparingly, with the
idea that we would make them last.
A friend of ours had an accident to
one of her best table covers which
she turned into an asset. She had
placed cork mat with a painted
decoration underneath the cloth
in the center of her table. The
water ran over from the flower
holder and transferred the coloring
on the mat to the cloth. No amount
of cleaning, bleaching or washing
would remove the colors. Taking a
large service plate. she drew a circle
which she cut out. putting a patch
made of matching napkin in the
center of her cloth.
Around the edge where the patch
was applied she embroidered bees
and butterflies in colors to go with
her china. They are bright little
conversation pieces every time her
friends gather. AS the winter goes
on, she will embroider the same
motif on the napkins.
Bed sheets, on which the hem
stitched hens are ripping, may have
charming flower -sprigged percale
ones in their place. Instead of
sewing on a new hem in a straight
line. applique it down onto the sheet
IN scallops, or points. and feather
stitch In color to cover the machine
stitching.
Now that new upholstery and
cleaning services are at a premium,
most OF us would like to preserve
our upholstered sofas and chairs
from soil. Antimacassar being out,
we are settling for trim little pima
fores to fit exactly over the arms
and backs of chairs. Don't for a
moment let these look like what
they are supposed to be. Make
them look like partial slip covers,
with exactly the same attention to
detail and fit as the professional
ones.
Bring them down on the back
half way and fit them over the arms
to extend neatly inches below the
top. If you use fabric which re-
! peats your color scheme in plaids or
stripes it will all look as If you had
planned it that way.
When the turkish towels get
fragile along the selvage long be-
fore the centers show any wear
they may be reinforced with white
tape stitched along the edge. When
the center is worn, they may be cut
up and given crocheted edge
They make the incest, softest wash
cloths, far more generous in size
than the "boughten" variety.
| You won't be throwing out the old
lamp shades this year because they
are soiled. You will be covering the
wire frames again to make them dc
another year or so. Handmade
lamp shades are a joy to own. The
right size and the right shape for a
lamp is most important. Nowadays
1t is difficult to get unusual shapes

Pitfalls Of Love
By Adele Garrison

or ceased to care for the winsome
girl who had won his first love
The later tragedy of his crazed
lwife'S attempted revenge on
Katharine, and the inexplicable
neglect of Katharine by her hus-
band, had served only 10 fan the
flame OF his love into a consum-
ing passion.
Always. after Lucia MeredithS

! knowledge that if Jacks neglect
and absence became too great 2

lay his wealth. fame and undyine
love AT her feet.
Then until the riddle Of Jack S

But since I told her about Ruth

WINGED that Katharine's heart was
wholly in her husbands keeping,
and that love, not pity or duty,
Spurred her determination TO find

sides to roll back living costs in his testimony
before Senate committee when he told the
assembled statesmen: "The issue is simple;
price control or no price control, sterilization
or imitation"
The roback has to be paid for. The war
workers and the rest of the people who work for
a living cannot pay for it, since that would not be
a rollback. The farmers and the professors and
the distributors cannot be expected to pay for 1t.
The CLIO doesn't want the rollback to come out of
their hides, because that wouldn't help the war.
Vet lot Of people, in Congress and outside
It, are fighting the subsidy plan tooth and nail.
They say it will cost too much, that it's not
needed that it's "un-American," and some of
them even bold enough to say that prices
should be allowed to keep on going up and up,
and to hell with the war.
The last argument is argument OF defeatism.
Any more increases in living costs, and failure
to roll them back, would be a disaster equivalent
to a major military defeat.
The argument that 1t costs too much Is fall
lacious. The roback Is q war necessity.
President Roosevelt has said It would cost about
90 billion. That's two per cent Of this years
total war budget-and We aren't counting the
money cost of winning this war.
AS for subsidies being ''un-Amercan'-sin
when have imitation and profiteering and lowered
living standards been anything but un-American?
The subsidy plan is war necessity. There's
nothing under the sun more American than winning
this war against Axis slavery.

Veto Called For

The whole future of the labor movement is at
stake in the decision which President Roosevelt
must make on the Smith Connally Bill. 1t rests on
his desk as this is written, awaiting either his
signature to become law or his veto
More that that, the future success of our victory
production drive is also at stake.
The anti-labor, anti-democratc and anti-victory
character of this vicious measure is fully described
In other columns.
The SmthConnay Bill has been sold to Con-
gress and the public "anti-strike' and "anti
Lewis" bill. 1t is neither.
1t was Matched by the administration batting
political cronies of John L. Lewis and he furnished
the pretext for its passage.
1t Is actually designed to provoke strikes,
rather than to stop them.
1t will demOralize production cripple
the War Labor Board, threaten the life Of labor
unions and destroy the workers democratic
rights.
President Roosevelt must either sign or veto
the Smith Connally Bill by June 25 otherwise 1t
will become law without his signature.
He needs the strongest possible assurance of
labor and popular support If he is to veto this bill.
Wire him at once In the White House at WASH
ington, urging him to veto the Smith, onnally Bill
rs dangerous stumbling block our road to VIC
tory and to expose its true character to the whole
country.

Why Subsidies?

For long time, the word subsidy had nasty
sound to American ears. 1t meant that big bust
ness was getting all four feet into the gravy trough
and scoopng out huge profits at the public expense
The shipping industry scandals, the airmail ex-
poses of 10 years ago, score of distinctly un-
pleasant If not noisome instances of graft gave the
word and the idea Of subsidy an unwholesome con-
notation.
Today, Americans are learning that the
subsidy idea, when properly applied, Is a win
the-war measure, and that their own living
standards and their ability to do their war jobs
at top efficiency depend on the proper use of
subsidies to make the rollback of living costs
possible.
The rollback In living costs is a number one
necessity, just as much part Of winning the war
as anything on the offensive front and the home
front in the common task of achieving victory.
