Ten Rules Listed
For Prolonsins
Life of Shee cts
By EPSIE KINARD
NEA Staff Writer

You can lengthen the life OF your
sheets by months, even years, SIM
ply by keeping sheet chart. On it
jot Gown each time you use a sheet
which end was the head, then re-
verse the ends next time you make
your bed. This procedure evenly
distributes wear from read, should
ers and hips ano. stretches supplies
of fast dWindling bed linen.
For other ways to exc out your
precious store, now that more cotton
has gone to war than to sheets, a
manufacturer gives the following
rules to be clipped out and COM
mitted to memory:
l. To keep sheets safe from snags
check all beds for needed carpen-
try.
2. To prevent abrasive action
of raw, unlocked springs or rough
mattress ticking, cover both springs
and mattress with heavy sheeting
or pad.
3. Never yank a sheet off a bed
Before stripping, loosen edges all
around.
4. Don't over-bleach when you
wash and be sure to rinse we'll tc
remove all traces of soap or pow
Ger. To bleach, use mild solution
rinse out thoroughly, or whiten
naturally in the sunshine. Folding
them evenly when putting them
through the Wringer saves sheets
from strain. Keep them out of a
whipping wind when they're hung
out to dry.
5. To Stave off a Washtub blitz-
krieg, don't allow soiled hair OF
dirty feet to stain sheets. Don't
carry bristling arsenal of meta
curriers' to bed, unless they're tiec
up in turban. If you wear night
cream to bed, use the greaseless
kinc.
6. Vary your system of folding
sheets. tThe Pepperell people say
that creasing sheets the same way
at each ironing is one of the big
causes of casualties.)
7. Rotate the sheets that you
use, by putting freshly laundered
ones at the bottom of the pile.
8. Iron with moderately hot
iron.
8. When sheets begin to wear
thin along center, tear in half
lengthwise, sew the selvedge edges
together, join in flat seam and
hem outside edges.
10. To patch a threaobare spot
before the break, cut out circular
section OF the worn area; make four
Sits at equal distance. Turn edges
under SO the hole is squared; back
with a square patch of similar
material (the side portions of dis
carded sheets are fine). See that
warp and filler threaoS go in the
same direction as those of the sheet
and make double rows of stitching
around patch for strength.

Speaks was in excellent voice and
her pleasing stage presence added
to the effect she created. Mr. Dough-
erty and Mr.. Ruzicka, perhaps the
finest pianists ever to appear here,
illustrated why they are stars In
their own right in addition to the
difficult tasks of blending their
talents with those of Miss Speaks.
Following the singing by the
audience of the Star Spangled
Banner" the three artists opened
the first group of songs with "Vieni,
che poi serene" from "Semiramis"
(Gluck), followed by sheep May
Safely Craze" by Bach.
The closing number OF this group
was the unusual Nehemiah" by
Frederick jacob, which the trio
introduced in New York and is
now a popular number in their
repertoire.
PIANISTS EXCELLENT
The pianists appeared alone for
the next selection, Czernys "Grande
FantaiSie Concertante." which was
well-suited to their exceptional
talents and proved to be one of
the most popular numbers of the
evening. They followed with Brahms
waltz in A Flat Minor"
Miss Speaks returned to join the
duo in the next group, which in
cluded "Coplas de curro dulce"
(Obradors), "Poeme de rAmour de
la Mer" (Chausson) and the live
ly Spanish dance Gel Vito" CNin)
The latter received such enthus-
iastic response, it was repeated.
After the intermission Mr.. Dough-
erty and Mr.. Ruzicka played an
other group, opening with the new
Second Avenue Waltz" (ReitD
Equally well-done we're the anus
ing "Cake-Walk" by Tansman and
Cafe Scene" from Milhauds lie
Boeuf sur Toit."
ENCORES POPULAR
For their first encore they play
ed a Sicilian hunting song by Res
pighi. The second was another of
the highlights of the evening when
they presented their condensed ver-
sion of Tschaiko wsky's Concerto in
B flat Minor. If they had been will
ing, they could have been called
back for encores for hours.
The closing group of selections
by the three artists opened with
Summertime" from George Gersh-
wins "Porgy and BeSs," always a
favorite and we'll done. Perhaps
Miss Speaks finest offering was the
next number, Sylvia" by Obey
Speaks, which gave her voice the
proper setting. 1t proved so popular
she repeated the selection.
A fitting climax to the evening
was the last number on the program,
Johann Strauss BLUE Danube
Waltzes" which was played in the
pianists usual amazing manner
with Miss Speaks doing the vocals.
FULL HOUSE ATTENDS
AS encores they presented SAM
ba" from Milhaud's South Ameri-
ca" arsi tie charming Cradle
Song" by Mary Howe.
The full house attending the con-
cert was gratifying not only to the
stars but to those in charge of the
Imperial Valley Concert Club, which
presented the concert. They in
cluded Malcolm Macurda, president,
Mrs. William Pata, ice-president;
Mrs. George Washburn, secretary
manager; and George Burt, treas
urer.

directors who assisted with ticket
sales and other arrangements were

make it anyway"
It's about a flighty girl who sud-
denly finds all her girl friends in
uniform. When she tries to enlist,
she discovers she is 4-F. So she gets
a war job with an oil company, and
is sent cut on the road. The film
gets censorable when she shares a
room in a motel with soldier she
has never met.
THE title of the picture" Ida
said, should be changed to Pillow
to Post
Although she has been turning in
film dramatic performances in such
flickers as 1.-THE Hard Way" High
Sierra" "They Drive BY Night" and
others, Ida is never satisfied with
herself on the screen.
When people tell her she is good
and she starts to believe them, she
goes home and re-reads a letter
written to her before his death by
Stanley Lupinc, her actor father He
wrote his daughter:
"Never think you are good. AS
long as you think you're good you'll
be worse. Don't let anyone talk you
out cf having an inferiority COM
plex 1t will make you strive twice as
hard"
AS you probably know, Ida started
acting at 7 when papa built her a
theater in the back yard of the Lon
don family home. By the time she
was Ia, she was leading lady ia
an English film company, specialize
ing in street-walkers (without un-
derstanding the term.
IDA NO ALICE
But here's what you may not
know about Ida.
One day she played sweet young
thing for a flash-back sequence IN
one of those street. walking roles 1t
landed her in Hollywood-to play
Alice in Wonderland At her sug-
gestion, studio officials ran off the
rest of her latest picture, and that
was the end CT the Alice idea.
But they kept Ida on, anyway
through flock of pictures in which
she played silly blonde ingenues
and stock bits.
Finally" she said, "I realized my
blondined hair and makeup were
fantastic. I let my hair go dark,
stopped playing fluffy blondes and
going to parties"
Then she played Bessie in "The
Light That Failed" and Hollywood
realized she was fine dramatic
actress. Proving that a blonde
turned brunette can become the
fair-haired gal of Hollywood.

U. S. WILL SEND
ENVOY TO Firms

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-RH
The United States extended a
friendly but cautious hand to
Finland today after turning the
diplomatic cold shoulder for six
months.
Joseph c. Grew, acting Secre-
tary of State, announced that Ran
dolph Higgs, an American diplo-
mat now in Stockholm, is being
dispatched to Helsinki to look
after American interests and that
ne will be joined shortly by Max
well M. Hamilton, a top flight
foreign service officer who will
hold the personal rank of minis
ter.
The announcement stressed that
Hamilton's assignment "does not
constitute a resumption of formal
diplomatic relations"
THE Soviet and British govern
ments have bee4 kept fully in
formed" Grew added significant
ly. The Soviet Union dominates
the Anglo-Russlan control commits
sion set up after Russia mad de-
feated Finland and obtained an
armistice last September.
The assignment of a person with
the rank of minister made 1t evil
dent that the move actually is
preparatory to full diplomatic
recognition if and when Finland S
unhappy relations with Britain
and Russia have been Strengthened
out. It is evident that the United
States does not care to 60 ahead
of its British and Russian allies
in seeking diplomatic contact with
the Helsinki government, although
this country never declared war
on Finland as they did.
It is not known at the State De-
partment whether the Films plan
to try to send an informal repre-
sentative here.
