Representative John B. Dingle,
Democrat, Michigan, would au-
thorize appropriations Of about
$50, 900 to finance a compre-
hensive health program, including
branches for public health, ma
ternal and child care, care of the
needy, national compulsory health
insurance, and grants to states
for medical research and educa-
ton.
One of the features of the bill
will be the provisions that servic-
es and facilities are furnished
under the plan and shall be avail
able to all mothers and children
in the state or ocality who elect
to benefit in the program, and
that there will be no discrimina-
ton because of race. creed, color,
or national origin, and no resi-
dence requirements.
The bill has the full support Of
the administration behind it. And
moreover, the fact that the CO.
sponsor of this bill, Sen. James
e. Murray, is chairman Of the
Education and Labor Committee
to which it was referred, pract-
ically assures an early hearing on
the measure.

making attractive curtains, bed
spreads, towels. chair covers, nap
kins, table cloths and a host of
other articles which if made at
home would save their young hus
bands a tidy sum of money.
Recently I saw the statistics of
a sewing expert who said that
Negro Women spend more than
1892, O0O,O 900 per year for dresses
which if made at home would cost
only $48, 900, 900. This would be an
initial saving of IA, OO0, 900 ann
ually for just one necessary item.
When you think in terms of the
many other items now being pur-
chased ready made which could be
made at home-as well, or better
than-we could probably save
collectively more than 81, 100, 600.
Negro Women have been in not
a few instances the very back
bone of our race; there is an adj
age somewhere which says: mo
family is better than it's mother
and no race is better than it's wo-
men,. Today we Negro Women
must play a very important part
in shaping the future for our peo-
pie. This is especially true when
We consider the employment pro-
blems facing our men. Recently,
the FEPC Bill was filibustered to
death by Bilbo, Rankin and some
others. This fact gives us no as
surance of adequate employment
in the future. Therefore, we must
conserve our funds and resources
by making everything that it is
possible for us to find time to do
at home.
In my column for this paper
each week I want to include help
full hints Or suggestions concern
ing some phases of general home
making. I hope that you find the
suggestions helpful and interest
ing. This Week 1 should like to
make several suggestions concer-
ming the mending of clothes.
Needing Stockings Many things
can be done to lengthen the use
fulness of stockings. If you don't
know how, or don't have the time
to make stockings at home, buy
two pairs at one time in the cor
rect size, in a weight suitable to
their use, and length in accord
ance with the length of leg and
girdle.

ton that Adam Hats was among
