To be with this woman long is to

Old Knitted Garments Can
Be Made Into Other Things

Handled right, old knitwear can be
made into new garments as easily
as woven fabric, without fear of
yarn raveling beyond control when
cut, says Martha Ulrich of the U. of
Wyoming. Almost any wool, cotton
or rayon knit garment has future,
if enough good fabric is left to make
a sweater or mittenS.
First steps are to wash and
steam-press the old garment, and
perhaps to dye or mend it. After
this, it often can be worn again with
out remaking.
Yarn in old knitwear is generally
so matted from wear and washing
that it ravels little, if any, when cut
around a pattern. Loosely knit ma
terial can be saved from raveling by
machine stitching close to the edge
just before or after cutting. With
stretchy fabric, such as rayon jersey,
stitching along edges may aid in
sewing. In lightweight knit mate
rial, a plain seam securely finished
is often adequate.

Photographs of Interesting
Events Earn Sizable Sums

Many amateur and professional
photographs have earned sizable
sums through the sale of prints to
publications over period of
years, says Golfers. The picture
of the shocked passengers on the
deck of the Vestris, taken a few
minutes before they were rescued
from the sinking Atlantic liner in
1928, made at least $4,000; snap
shots of the Lindbergh plane, as
it capsized and threw its occupants
into the Yangtze river in 1881, sold
outright for $4,000.
The famous photograph of "The
Laughing Cat" snapped near St.
Louis in 1923, earned S13, 1000; and
the "bird's-eye view" of San Fran
cisco, made shortly after its great
fire in 1906 with a camera elevat-
ed 600 feet by kites, produced a
profit of $4,000.

as upon proper conditions of stor-

stored, the vegetables must enter
the storage free from bruises, dis

Bear on Title Race

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-This unpre-

bouncing back and forth from the

Right now, only unheralded In
diana is unbeaten in the conference
But the Hoosiers still haven't won a
title, and won't until they get past
Minnesota and Purdue.
Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan and
Minnesota have lost only one game
each in Big Ten competition, but
those four still have a pretty long
row to hoe before they even car
hope to claim a crown.
In fact, the title race still is just
as wide open as it ever has been in
the history of the conference.
Only three league games are
scheduled this week end, but the Big
Ten title may hang on two of then
Northwestern at Ohio State ano
Minnesota at Michigan.
Wisconsin plays at Iowa in a game
having little bearing on the title
while Purdue entertains Pittsburgh
and Great Lakes plays at Illinois
Indiana is idle.
