VETERANS LOANS
 AMPLY PROTECTED
NEA Stafr Correspondent

NEA Otdn SOEECopVAluCht
 Washington, February 9. = Loans guaranteed by the Government un- der the CT Bill of Rights continue to be the subject in which most veterans are interested. These are typical questions:
 Q. To get a loan guaranteed by the Government do have to tell what I'm going to do with the money?
 A. Yes. Funds secured from a loan guaranteed by the Veterans Administration may be used only to purchase, build, repair, alter or improve a home to be occupied by the veteran, a farm or farm equip ment to be operated by the veteran or to purchase business, property or equipment to be used by the veteran for the purpose of earning a livelihood.
 o. How much interest do I have to pay on guaranteed loans and how long do get to pay?
 A. The interest charged an these loans may not be at a rate higher than four per cent a year, and the money must be repaid in a maximum of 20 years, Most of the loans, however, particularly those fol business purposes, will be for a much shorter time than the maxi mum. This is because a guaranty will not be given to extend the use 1ul life of the security.
 o. How much can I borrow?
 A. The Government may guar antee any part of an approved loar up to 50 per cent Of the amount borrowed, but the total guaranty may not be for more than $2,00o This guaranty may be given or several loans made to the veteran so long as the guarantee of al amounts guaranteed does not exceed the 5000 limit.

BEAUTIES HINTS Hobbies Help Pep Up Personalities
By ALICIA. HART NEA Staff Writer

Best antidote to that not uncom- mon feeling that you're growing stale or that your personality is closing in instead of sprouting out, is a new interest-one that takes you into unfamiliar surrounding or plunges you into unusual activities.
 If you feel that way, hie away to some place new on your vaca- tion or next holiday. If you stay at home-a decision Uncle Sam will approve-look for a hobby. There are plenty of books that will guide you in your choice.
 A stay-at-home acquaintance of mine found her hobby in language study, and the fun she's had from mastering new tongue is only half of it. Her interest in the language has blazed a trail into amusing restaurants, foreign lan- guage theaters and homes. It's opened up a new world, made her new friends, given her a flock of new interests and 8 winning per- sonality.

SUGAR STRETCHING CANNING GUIDE-NO.
 Home Gamers Urged to Do More Canning This Summer
BY GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Food and Markets Edit0


 The army of home canners has a bigger job than ever this year In 1924 an estimated 3,409,000, 900 quarts of home canned fruits and vegetables were put up. The 1945 job must be better if American fam- lilies are to be well fed.
 By latest reports, civilians can expect about 19 per cent less com- mercially canned vegetables and 2 per cent less canned fruits, not in- cluding citrus, than last year. Home canners will have less sugar, but can use scientifically tested ways to can with less sweetening, and still get first class flavor, texture and color.
 To can your Victory Garden crop of tomatoes and fruits, the import ant acid foods that do not require steam pressure canners, use an enameled water-bath canner. Half a million new ones will be on the market this year. Many women will make their own out of lard cans, metal pails, kettles. wash boilers and ham boilers.
 Ready or homemade. a water-bath canner must be deep enough for the jars used. A ves- sel must be at least or inches taller than the jars to allow for jar height. plus a rack, plus water to cover jars an inch or two and bubble up in a rolling boil. If a canner is too shallow, the water cannot boil up briskly over the jar tops to sterilize food throughout each jar.
 G1ve a homemade canner a good rack. As a guide to size, meas ure the diameter of the canner. A

Medieval Touch

The almoner's bag, new design ing idea plucked from costumes of the 18th and 18th centuries by Eta, which suspends from belts and shoulders, creates the effect of pan- els or peplums. Symbol of the alm- oner's bag which inspired its design is the gold-pailletted coin dot motif sparkling from the belt-sus- pended pouch on the dress in the center and again decorating the bodice of this model of seraphic blue or fushion wine-two new fashion colors for fall launched in this line.
 Incidentally, two-color and two- fabric contrasts are big themes in almost every collection. Among the newcomer cold-weather fabrics is faille, which for the first time leaps over summer boundaries to make many of the winters snap piest dressy frocks and fancy suits.
