Old clothing lying apout the house
or stored away in closets decreases
in value and is of no use to anyone
but moths. Clothing that isn't COM
pletely worn out can be put back
into use by cleaning renovating and
remodeling. ''.'
Cleanliness counts most in remod-
cling; all wooden and cottons can
be successfully washed with soap
and water, and in many cases rayon
and silk materials may be washed
satisfactorily also. +. Washing with
soap and water sometimes brightens
the fabric and gives it new life,
but it is wise to experiment with
the belt or some other part of the
garment first. Garments that are
not soiled need good airing, brush
ing and pressing. =, =
- That made-over look can be
avoided by doing the simplest things
well, and forgetting about compli-
Gated desigss or decorations that
make a dress look fussy. Trimming
a made-over garment with a bright
new material may also make the
old appear at disadvantage. Cutting
and fitting carefully, sewing neatly
and accurately, and pressing well
after each trip to the sewing ma
chine give dress professional,
finished appearance. -, III
! Light weight wool materials that
are too shabby to be made over can
be used for interlinings of winter
coats and jackets. With more chill
dren and adults walking than in the
past, warmer coats are needed. A
wool interlining helps meet that
need.
, Many materials, turned wrong
side out will look like new. Try
combining knitted garments with
wooden ones. Knitted garments that
have been washed and pressed a
number of times can be cut out ac-
cording to pattern and then ma
chine stitched near the edge once
or twice. to keep the yarn from raw
cling. .s.s... e=.ss:asss@ -
With so many men in the service,
there are lots of suits that will not
be used for a period of time and
possibly be out of style when they re-
turn Moths may ruin the fabric
and since wool is at a premium, it
is suggested that people make these
into suits, coats, dresses for other
members Of the family instead of
buying new material This is help
ing in the war effort in conserving
what you have instead of buying
something that is needed by some
one else. .s -
Other suggestions are included in
Extension Circular 287, "Remodeling
Garments" which can be obtained
from county agent offices. h..

Shoe rationing has focused atten-
ton upon the unused footwear lying
idle in the clothes closets Of homes
throughout the country these days.
1t is estimated that about $4,000, 900
pairs of perfectly good but unused
shoes fill closets or else are worn
only occasionally. If you have shoes
you are not using, get your wear
from them and keep them in good
condition. However, if the shoes
stored in the family closet are out
grown or for some other reason
will not be worn at all, pass them
along to less fortunate persons.
Meantime, use your Ration Stamp
No. II for shoes only as you need
them. No need to worry for there
are plenty of everyone's require
ments for health and comfort. Re
tailers now have about 200,000,000
pairs of shoes in stock.
On the subject of footwear, here
is the latest style note dictated by
the WIPE in an amendment to con-
servation order M-217. Look for
fewer frills and only four colors-
black, white and two shades of
broWn-army russell and town
brown. Easter shoes will not reflect
the new order. As a matter of fact,
these latest changes will not show
until next fall, and even then there
will be sufficient patterns to pro-
vide enough style variety in addi-
ton to staple footwear. Heels on
women's shoes will he limited to
9 SO inches high and leather COW
cred platforms are out. So are gee
gaws such as bows made of leather,
kiltie or other ornamental tongues if

as pintuckings, fancy overlays and

The broom that Mrs. America will

the wartime broom will have less
lacquer on the handle and certainly
less wire coilel around the broom.

vacuum cleaners and carpet sweep

Despite the heavy military needs

for some types of wool is temporarily
less, and this means additiinal sup

production of worsted fabrics for
home use will be increased about go
percent for the first few months of
the year. And once again lounging
robes and blankets may be all wool,
more than half of it new. At the

The price which comes out of the
family pocketbook for a pair OF
spectacles should not be more than
the highest prices prevailing in
March, 1912, in accordance with the
OPA ceiling on service charges
However, charges for eye examina-
tons are not price controlled unless
combined in the cost for spectacles
If the seller had previously made
combined charge for both the eye
examination and spectacles, he
should not make separate charges
now. And the price of the combined
services should not exceed the high
est charge made March, 1912, for
the same combination.

hand, she will have 48 points to
spend from each ration book in the
family. In other words, each War
Ration Book Two has II blue stamps
with the letters A, B, and G, valid
for buying processed foods during
March, the first ration period. So
it means budgeting ration stamps as
we'll as money in buying canned and
frozen fruits, and vegetables, juices,
all canned soups, and dried fruit.
If stamps have been removed for
excess rationed canned goods on
hand, there will be only "a points
available. In either case, plan pur-
chases carefully, extending rationed
goods by using non-rationed foods
and fresh fruits and vegetables as
much as possible.

OUTDOORS
With BILL ACKERMAN.

Hardheads never have been more
plentiful at this time of the year.
Many Washington anglers are flnd-
ing ways and means to get in on
this excellent fishing, too, for boats
are running as usual from Annap-
oils, South River, West River and
Herring Bay
Coast Guard patrol boats occa-
sionally chase parties in. but they
return almost Immediately and will
continue to do SO as long as Mary
land ration boards supply charter
boat shippers with gasoline.
1t isn't right? Maybe not. THESE
boats. however, are aiding in supply
ing meat for the table and a little
relaxation besides. This Will go on
so long as speed boats are permitted
to run and ration boards continue
their varying interpretations OF reg
ulations..
Most amazing is the manner in
which the Eastern Bay school of
striped bass continues to take bats
and lures. Possibly 1t is because so
few boats are fishing the stripers
and that those doing so are using
care-something that hasn't been
the normal custom for more years
than we like to remeber.
When the boats ran IN peacetime
numbers they charged into the
schools and drove them down al
most Immediately. Now they circle
them, or better still, use a chum line
OF shore shrimp-when shrimp is OBJ
tainable-and thereby get just about
all the fight bass has to give. A
big striper on free line is some
thing anyone will remember.
Some commercial fishermen are
drawing down as much as $500 each
week handling these bass, which in
dlcates they are hitting.
Seatrout in most upper Chesa-
peake areas are few and far be-
tween, although they have been
there for several weeks.
