By CAROL herman

NEW YORK, July 25-If you're
one of those war brides singing the
blues about living in a Woebegone
furnished room, why not perk up
/ long enough to try your hand at
some embellishments guaranteed to
dress up your quarters?
You'll find ruching miracle

cents yeard you can buy it ready
made to tack on top and bottom
edges of your lanmpshades. Each
medium size shade requires ABOUT
two and a half yarCs of ruching

PAIL that dark plush Grapes almost

Consulting a house furnishings ex-

To make the grillwork valance

the depth of your cornice. Get
four pieces of wood. about three
inhces thick, in the desired dimen-
sions anc. nail them together SO
they make a bracket-like frame.
L illustrated play pen sidings for
grill work are not available, you
can make your own. Here's how:
Hunt around and find 10 marrow
sticks or pieces of string, little
longer than the depth of your
frans and space them Out inside
the frame. Next, rumma9e through
your sewing box and collect spools
of thread. For purely decorative
purposes, pile two or three spools
OH each stick or piece of string.
Then tack spool strings taut to the
inner edges of the frame. If you
are using sticks, you will have to
drive little holes into the frame

Tubing a corset frequently-and

must" if you want this guardian
of your silhouette to enjoy longer
life span. Nothing knocks out those
narrow panels of rubber in girdle
quicker than perspiration and body
acids
Another life preserver is the use
of the persuasive method of putting
a corset on stepping in, freeing all
hooks or lace5, coaXing it past the
heft, standing up in good posture to
make a liaiSon between girdle and
body, and tipping. When you wrig-
gle out of your corset, ease-dont
pry-it off.
To stretch out the life span. buy
two when you buy a corset. While
one is giving you everything it's got.
the other can recover from th/
strain of going all cut for you. It's
smart to settle for size that's

liam consumers will experience in
creasing difficulty in finding top
grades of beef on retail markets dur
ing the remainder of 1914 despite
the fact that 'unprecet ented num-
bers of cattle are on the ranges
and farms" the American Meat IN
stitute predicted.
Thirty per cent fewer cattle have
gone to feed lots during the first
six months OF the year, the 1nsti-
tute said, and more than one-third
OF the two top grades of beef pro-
cuced under Federal Inspection has
gone to the armed forces.
Because of the lack of feed, the
farmer and the feeder cannot fat
ten cattle as much as they would
like to, SO they send them to the
market little lighter the Insti-
tute said The average dressed
weight of carcasseS curing the past
six months has been four per cent
LIGHTER than for the same period
in 1913.
The industry expects little
change in the situation with re-
spect to the top grades of beef 1t
threatens to get worse. 1t is rea-
sonable to presume since military
needs are not getting smaller, and
since the proportion of better grades
OF cattle coming to the markets in
the months ahead will be smaller,
the percentage for the armey forces
may have TO be increased.

In the Light of her actions of the

Cd Positive security of her wes-

have increased 81 per cent since
the beginning of the war, this in
crease is less than half the rise
that occurred during similar Pc
Rod in World War l. It should not
be forgotten, either, how much
more money is now available to
1loat an inflationary price rise.
Prices Rising
Price increases in such import
ant categories as clothing and rents
are reflected in the indexes for the
last half Of 1914. Further gradual
increases in these and other prices
can be expected. On the debit side
IS the rather firm prospect that
Congress. urged by consumers and
many spokesman for industry, will
insist on control for prices in the
early postwar period when the sit
uation might be most likely to get
out of hand.
Farmers and manufa curing
workers continue to garner a big
ger than normal share of the in
creased national income. Cash
farm income for the year is placed
at $lS.5 billions. The physical vol
ume produced was the second lar
gest of any year and about per
cent above the 1914 yield.
Farmers Savings High
While there has been a recent
increase in the prices of farm
lands, there does appear to be the
over-extension of Indebtedness that
was catastrophe after World War
/. War bond purchases by farmers
are much higher than the national
average and the other forms of
savings show proportinate in
crease.
Shortages of goods for civilian
consumption are likely to persist
although they will vary in kind and
degree. There seems to be no early
end to the cigarette shortage or to
gasoline restrictions. Food supplies
will be ample, with month to month
changes in the availability of but
ter. pork and beef.
Postwar Problems Remain
Although intensive study of post
war problems were swept into
allegiance with the German success
ses in the December offensive the
problems themselves remain.
Promising sixty million jobs in the
1914 campaign, the President took
on more than is really necessary.
Fifty million jobs would sustain our
peacetime economy at prosperity
levels and give us an annual ma
tional income in the neighborhood
of $3.50 billions.
In terms of real income, based
on present prices and present per-
sonal tax levies, a national income
of anything over $110 billions would
give us a better living standard
than any we have enjoyed. In view
of massed savings estimated in ex-
cess of $1o0 billions and deferred
consumer needs of inetimable ex-
tent, an annual income of $40 bill
lion or better seems a conserva-
tive possibility in the early post
war years. After that is another
problem.
