Your Sewing Machine
Well-fnished clothes depend

Well-fnished clothes depend on
proper use of the sewing ma
chine. Here are some minor diff
ficulties which can be corrected
easily.
If your machine skips stitches,
one of the following may be re-
sponsible: needle improperly
set in bar; needle too short or
too long; needle bent or blunt; ;
needle too fine for the thread you
are using.
Fuckers in the material may
be caused by tight tension, a
blunt needle, too long a stitch on
fine material, or a fabric which
is too light to carry over the feed.
In the latter case, use a news
paper or tissue under the fabric
If your bobbin or shuttle thread
tends to break, look to one of
the following for the reason:
incorrect threading of the bob
bin; tight lower tension; bobbin
wound too tightly or unevenly;
bobbin wound too full.

Mems Shirts Convert Nicely
Into Dressy or Work Aprons
BY G,tta Haley

M EMS shirts are scarce these
days, and you may wonder at
the wisdom of making something
out of them" in this case. But, when
shirt is so worn that it can no
longer be used by the man of the
family, it is welcome material for
aprons, which are so useful and es-
sential.
Shirts become worn around the
collar and sleeves, also under the
armholes and cuffs. After these
have been turned and worn again,
there's nothing much that can be
done with them. In this case, you'll
feel well justified and economical
If you sew up an apron from them.
Before getting into the actual cut
ting and sewing, let me point out
that not all shirts will make good
aprons. The materials which you
can and should use for aprons are
percale, broadcloth and poplin.
Those shirts of rayon are much bet
ter if converted into blouses for
small fry.
The aforementioned materials
winch are suitable for aprons pos
sess these qualities-they are easy
to handle, they tear, crease, hem,
gather, stitch and press easily. You
will also want fabric that launders
easily and one that starches nicely.
Do both washing and starching be-
fore you cut the fabric.
If there is goodly amount of
material in the salvaged shirt, an
apron with bib may be made.
This type of apron is especially
practical if you want one for work.
ing around the kitchen or laundry.
Cut Apron on Correct
Grain of Material
Cutting the apron on the correct
grain of the material is very impor-
tant in the appearance of the fin
ished article. If necessary make

that has been rinsed out in cold wa
ter and chill. When firm, unmold
onto greens and serve with mayor
naise.
If fresh pineapple is used. cook
the fruit few minutes. The acid of
fresh pineapple prevents gelatine
from stiffening.
To make this salad as pleasing
as it appears in the photograph,
serve the salad on green's and fill
the center with carrot curls. These
latter are made by cutting the car
rots in paper thin slices (try po-
tato peeler), wrap tightly around
the finger and chill in ice water. If

when hemming Measure the turn
every inch or so, and haste before
sewing.
If you want pockets, finish the
hem on them before attempting to
place them on the apron itself. Aft
er the hem is in turn the sides in,
basting them, and then they will be
easy to place on the apron itself.
All fancy pockets should be turned
and basted carefully, as they attract
attention and will either make or
mar the appearance unless they are
properly finished. Since the pockets
will usually have a lot of wear in
such an article as the apron, it will
be absolutely necessary to double

know of some families who
make salads the main ingredient of
the menus during the really warm
weather. Not enough protein, did
hear you say? Oh, but yes, for
you can put enough meat, fish and
cheese into the salads to give them
that "stick-to-the-ribs" quality.
Keep your salads crisp and fresh
looking. Wash the lettuce as thor
oughly as you can, letting the cold
water trickle on every leaf. Keep
your salads as pretty as picture
plates. Even a tossed salad which
is sort of thrown together can be
lovely, as long as you don't fuss with
it until it looks weary.
Mold them, too, for change, u.s.

Brazilians With Multiple
Names Get Dual Listing

Owing to the few family names
of Portuguese origin, most Brazil
ians use from two to four names,
taking them from both their
mother and father and arranging
them in a new order, says Col
lier's. But it is their uncommon
given name which distinguishes
them from others and by which
they are best known.
Consequently, Brazilians are list
ed by their first as well as their
last name in many telephone direc-
tories and government files.

Lynn Says:

Watch Those Bread Crumbs:
Although rationing is over, we are
still being called upon to con-
serve vital foods. This time it
is the breadbox which is under
strict observation.
Don't throw away those dry
crusts of bread. Let them accu-
mulate in a paper bag until you
have enough to put through a
meat grinder. These will be very
fine and tasty to use for bread
ing.
Leftover bread crumbs, sea-
soned well, may be used as top
ping for casseroles.
Eat rye, whole wheat or bran
bread when white bread is not
available. Don't throw away a
slice.

pimiento on bottom of an oiled fish
or loaf mold. Turn mixture into
mold. Chill until firm. Unmold onto

Two very pretty salads which
might be served as tidings of spring
are these:
Strawberry Cheese Salad.

Most hats are ivened with
punches Of the most natural looking
spring flowers. Yellc" daisies, roses,
peonies, violets and assorted flow
ers are seen.
Cool, summary looking dresses
are important for daytime wear.
They all stress slim, trim lines and
many dresses have high neck,

stitch the pockets at the top and
prevent tearing if they catch. Pull
thread ends through to the wrong
side and tie.
Making the neck strap illustrates
principle of sewing which you will
use often in other types of sewing
such as belts, bands, double ties
and trims. Piece the strap togeth-
er to make it long enough. Fold
the right side in. Bring two raw
edges together and stitch, making
scant one-quarter inch seam.
Close only one end, leaving the 9TH
er open. Clip raw edges every three
or four inches.
Press the seam open its full length
as this will insure an even edge
when the strap is turned Now, place
the end of an orange stick at the
closed end against the stitched end
and with your fingers crowd the
strap down on the stick to turn it
right side out. Clip stitched end off
and press strap with seam to one
edge. The bib hem must be creased
and hemmed before the neck strap
is sewed onto the apron.
Make Dress-Up Aprons
With Ruffle or Shirring
Women who want to look pretty
in the kitchen as well as when
dressed to 60 out will use ruffles
on their aprons. If the sleeve of the
garment is not to be used for pockets
and such, this material can easily
be cut into ruffles.
If two pieces of material are
Joined for the ruffle, try to use sell
wages and stitch a three-eighths
inch seam. Hem the ruffle, using a
very narrow hem.
If you are making a one-piece
apron for dress-up, you will want
hip tucks on each side, or cluster
tucks on each side of the apron.
These tucks help to take up fullness
and fit the apron to the body. Three
cluster tucks will do very nicely for
the average apron, and the thread
of the fabric should be used TO guide
you in stitching straight.

1t. Gen Raymond S. McLain, War
Department haison officer with the
Presidents Advisory Commission on
Universal Military Training, last
night told the Veterans of Foreign
Wars Committee on National Sc
curity that "the United Nations CAN
not supply solution for our inn
mediate security problem" He
stressed the economy in universal
military training.
Even after the United Nations has
had an opportunity to develop sys-
tenn of international law and put
force back Of its rulings, 1--WE shall
have to rely on experience to de-
termine whether such an organiza-
ton can keep the peace" the gen.
eral said.
Gen. McLain addressed a dinner
meeting at the Hotel Statler held
in connection with a two-day ma
tional security conference sponsored
by the VFW. Sessions will continue
at 9 o'clock this morning at the
hotel.
What Might Have Been Saved.
Gen. McLain said the United Ma
tions must not be expected to re-
lieve. us Of our responsibilities even
before it is fully organized.
He asserted that IF we could have
shortened World War II by six
months, we could have saved 20 or
so billion dollars of the cost of con-
Quoting the war, not counting con-
tinuing costs such as veterans bene-
fits, interest on the national debt,
and dislocation OF our economy"
Rear Admiral William s. Parsons,
director of atomic defense for the
Navy. speaking at the opening ses-
sion Of the conference, declared
"push-button warfare has not
even been blueprinted yet" He
added that "Twenty-first century
weapons" might well be part Of
modern warfare within this gener-
ation."
Upholds Baruch Plan.
Admiral Parsons, who was tech
nical director for the Bikini tests,
warned against any watering
down" of the Baruch plan for
atomic control and urged that in
ternational ownership of all atomic
energy producing facilities must be
complete for success of the pro-
posed program.
In question and answer ses-.
sion, Maj. Gen. Leslie r. Groves,
wartime chief of the Manhattan
Project, charged that the Baruch
plan had been deliberately mis-
represented by certain people who
are anxious to earn a living by COM
ing into the public eye"
Guard Officer Speaks
The general, a member of the
special Baruch delegation to U. NJ,
said if nations were courageous
enough to enter the Baruch plan,
'ft has good chance of ending
wars"
In an earlier address, Col. Dill
Ter S. Myers, executive officer of
the National Guard Bureau, urged
that universal military training was
necessary for the Guard to reach
its 681 900 members. Without its
provisions, we would be reduced
to a potential membership of about
366, ,000," he said.

Rites for War Dead Held
In J European Countries

PARIS, May 80 (P.-America's s
soldier dead, sleeping in the foreign
soil they helped to free, received the
Memorial Day tributes of their
brothers and their Allies today.
In SO cemeteries in seven Euro
pean countries services were held to
honor the 135,926 dead and 18,418
missing of World War II. At each
grave there was a small American
flag. At each burying ground a
small banner enumerated the dead.
Although Memorial Day is typi-
cally and primarily an American
custom, representatives of America S
Allies participated in many of the
ceremonies.
Five major services were sched-
uled, with the largest in France, at
Solers, 80 miles south of Paris,
where Jefferson Caffery, American
Ambassador, was to speak.
Only a few wheeling sea gulls and
a strolling peasant couple visited
the little plot where the first Amer
lean soldiers fell after the invasion
and were buried under the loose
sand at Omaha Beach, on the Nor
mandy shore.
The nearest ceremony was sched-
uled at st. Laurent, on a hilltop
overlooking strip of sand ironically
named Easy Red Beach," where
3,797 Americans lie buried. Charles
w. Smith of Rockland, Mass, a de-
n1obilized soldier. is in charge of the
