Laundering can be fun and the re
suits most gratifying If some care and
thought has beer given the operation
before 1t Is begun.
First, it is necessary to study tbs
fabric and know what type Of fiber the
garment is made Of; and second, follow
the laundry rules for that fiber. OF
the three types Of fibers, silk and wool
are examples Of animal fibers; cotton
and linen Of vegetable fibers; and rayon
and nylon of man-made fibers.
Each Of these fibers call for cerain
washing conditions-lukewarm water,
Each Of these fibers call for certain
type Of laundry soap. The same wash
ing instructions will fit silks, rayon and
nylon; c%ottons and linens combine viii;
but wooden garments call for a method
all their own.
For silk, nylon and rayon, lukewarm
suds whipped up by the use of a milk
soap is recommended. Rinse several
times In clear water of same tempera-
ture, squeeze gently to dry, never wiring
or twist these fabrics. Roll in a Turk
ish towel and dry away from sun or
extreme heat.
Cottons and linens may be soaked for
some 20 minutes or more in lukewarm
water and speedy washing. Never soak
wool materials. Rinse at least three
times in water Of same temperature
Sharp variations Of temperature cause
wool to shrink. Roll in Turkish
towel to remove excess moisture. Dc
not wiring or twist. Unroll at once. Dry
wooden goods away from extreme heat OF
sudden changes in Temperature. Avoid
exposure to sun. Hang wooden gar
ments with weight evenly distributed
Be thrifty by taking the best care OF
your clothing and household linens.

Blueprint For Breakfast

did you eat a good breakfast this
morning? If you fixed breakfast for
others, was it a good one?'
"0ne thing is certain" say the nutri-
tionists, "going without breakfast is a
bad start for the day. It's been found
that workers who skip breakfast get
less done in the first working hour
than those who truck away a good meal
before work. As the morning goes on,
the hungry ones grow less efficient
After lunch they do better; then they
slow up again.
What happens to these workers hap
pens to homemakers too, and to every
one else. It's especially true for chill
dren. A child who eats a good break
last has a better chance to do well with
studies and games"
If breakfast is a problem mean, don't
give up. Try to solve it, the nutrition
lists advise.
II every minute counts in the morn
ing, devices like these may help:
Squeeze orangs juice the night before
then store it cold and covered. Tina,
way, very little vi,imin G is lost. Ii
bread made be buttered the night be-
fore. Cover the slices and put them in
u refrigerator or other cold place over
night, and they will be ready for tn,
oven.
If a family eats at different times
or a. child must be left to eat alone
figure ways to keep hot things hot and
cold things cold. For example; halve
oranges or prepare other fruit, then
cover with waxed paper and leave in 8
our glasses of milk, or a pitcherful for
cereal, her cover and put in a cold
place until wanted. Keep cereal hot in
a double broiler covered tight, or set
the covered saucepan in a pan Of hot
water.
As guides in choosing and preparing
sood breakfasts, they suggest some pat
.erns "all the way from light to hearty"
ach as: Fruit, cereal or bread, and
leverage. Fruit cereal, meat-such as
.,ge.
For many people, and particularly for
hildren, it's sound planning to have
one-fourth of the days food at break
fast, say the nutritionists. But there's
o hard and fast rule. The total of the
food you eat in the entire day, tells
whether or not you are well fed"

ers really "came across. Farmers pro-
duced more food than ever before. So
a loosening of restrictions.
OF Gas, Shoes, Meat. Likely to be
quite a while before there is any chance
to ease up on restrictions. Buy non
rationed shoes.
Even II the Germans Collapse it will
be many months before We can reduce
the size Of our armed forces. China lie
almost lone for as a fighting force so
the British and we will have to make
up their lack. You remember the Con-
federscy was checked to death by the
blockade that kept out all military sup
olies. The Japs spent a half century
getting ready to eat up China. They
have long controlled her coast and
have about cut her in two in the interi-
or. 1t will be a slow, mean job TO whip
the Japs, from present appearance.
Its Good To Know That a Hearing Aid
that has given quite good results for
many Zenith may now be tried and
bought locally. B. S. Bea1l has them, the
we'll advertised price, $4,000. The hard
hearing can nave one fitted and buy
only if convinced. Nice to ave them
handy. Other lads" sell for $4,000 to

litter such as hay, straw, ~cottonseed, or
shavings, SO eggs will not be broken
AZ they are laid.
If the egg eating habit has gone SO
far that some of the birds break the
eggs themselves, it may be necessary
to remove those birds from the flock for
a few days or dispose of them entirely.
Since we are discussing pullets, We
would like to remind o to provide
green feed for newly housed puilets.
Pullets removed from the range to
laying house should continue to receive
green feed. This can be supplied either
by green feed in yards, cut grass, or
green leafy dry alfalfa hay.
Supplying newly hohsed pullets with
green feed helps them to become adapt
ed to their new surroundings. With
out the green feed to pick at, they might
start feather picking or some other
form Of cannibalism.
Remember, a plentiful supply of green
feed cuts down on the cost of feeding
poultry.

Michigan
Pins Hopes
on Two Men

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. %
-R)-When the Michigan VOL
verines engage Ohio State at
Columbus Saturday, much of
their hope for Big Ten title
will be pinned on a halfback and
a tackle who gained high school
football recognition in the Buck
eye State.
The halfback Is Gene Derri-
cote, speedy Negro freshman
who won scholastic as we'll as
athletic honors at Defiance, O.,
before coming TO Michigan.
Winner of letters in track and
basketball and three in football
and valedictorian of his gradu-
ating class, he was awarded the
Northwestern Ohio Leagues
craftsmanship cup.
AS a Wolverine Derricotte op-
crates in the tailback slot and is
best Known for his broken field
running. In recent weeks he has
done some of the passing and
blocks and tackles well. AL
though an injury-kept him on
the sidelines for most of the
Wisconsin game, he is expected
to be ready to go against his
home-Staters.
Glenn Bauman, veteran tackle
who won the Chicago alumni
award in l943 as the outstand-
ing freshman on the squad, has
been a stalwart in the line all
season and coach Fritz CriSler
says he improves with each
game. Bauman began his foot
ball career in Dayton, 0.
Michigan Reserves who came
from the Buckeye State include
center Charlie VAIL who came
here with Derricotte; guard
Henry Mantho of Alliance, O.;
and George Babe, a guard from

Montreal Canadiens did what
was expected of them when they
defeated the Boston Bruins last
night, Al. AS a result they are
tied with Toronto Maple Leafs
for first place in the National
Hockey league.
Playing before 10000 spec
tators at Boston Gardens, the
l943-44 Stanley cup champions
worried rookie goalie Harvey
Bennett throughout the entire
game but it wasn't until the
second period that they were
able TO breach his cage.
Bruins, on the other hand,
were literally handcuffed by the
flying Frenchmen, who kept
control of play most of the time.

was robbed of chance to mark
up the first shutout of the 1914

Figuring Filbert, the statistical

with the prediction that Navy
would beat Army on Dec. in
the game the nation is waiting

teams that the Cadets and Mid
dies played this season, Filbert
produced notes purporting TO
show that point-a-minute Army,
as a whole, met bunch of
buns while the Middies battled
some pretty tough cookies.
Ignoring Army's runaw way
scores on Duke, Notre Dame and
PennSyvania-the three teams
which played both Navy and
Army-Filbert indicated it was
the old one-two punch that paw
ed the way for the Cadets to rat
tie off 81 points on Duke, SO on
Notre Dame and so on Penn.
In other words West Point got
to them as they were crawling
