Hog Disease Hit
By Bug Poison
Researchers Find Cockroach
Dope Effective Against
Round Worms.

WASHINGTON. Evidence of
pigs in Illinois and Minnesota dying
of pitch poisoning-traced to eat
ing clay pigeons used for skeet and
trap shooting targets - has been
found by American Veterinary asso-
citation.
Veterinary science can't do much
to prevent such occurrences except
to warn farmers to keep their pigs
out of fields where clay pigeons
have been shot down.
But veterinarians are making new
progress against some of the major
diseases that have beset swine since
long before the clay pigeon was in
vented.
Stops Round Worms
Researchers of the department of
agriculture's bureau of animal hus-
bandry industry have found that So
dunn f1uoride - the cockroach
poison - can be used as a new
medicine against ''round worms"
in pigs.
Round worms - or intestinal
parasites-are one of the common
est causes of swine illness and
death.
In the small quantities used-1
pound to every SO pounds of feed
the poison is described as entirely
safe.(
Some veterinary reports say that
the substance eliminates 95 per cent
of the parasites.
The bureau of animal husbandry
also has invented a new vaccine
against hog cholera - economically
the most serious of hog diseases.
Called ''crystal violet-glycerol"
vaccine, it has been made avail
able for commercial production.
Penicillin, Too.
1t is made of hog cholera virus in
a mixture of crystal violet Gan anti
septic) and glycerol, a common con-
stitutent of explosives.
Further encouragement for hog
raisers is offered by reports that
penicillin has shown promise
against swine erysipelas.
This is not only a disease of
swine, but also can affect cattle,
sheep, dogs, ducks, pigeons, tur-
keys and man himself.
There's good news, too, for an
other section of the barnyard.
American Veterinary Medical as
sociation says there are indications
that sulfamerazine - one of the
"sulfa" drugs - may afford pro-
lection to baby chicks against the
deadly disease called ''cecal cocci-
diosis." This is an intestinal all
ment that constitutes one of the
worst problems of poultry raising.

Then, too, you have your choice
of a soft trimmed dress that is easy
to cut and put together. The trim
ming on this type of dress may be
something added to the dress which
is easy to put on, or it may show
up in such easy-to-make details
as softness in the shoulders or gath
ers and tucks in the skirt.
Only if you are experienced with
sewing should you choose the So
phisticated, subtle dresses, and then
only if you are the type to wear
them. These dresses usually have
many different pieces and they
must be pinned together when cut
so they don't get mixed. They also
require painstaking work in sewing
as seams must be very carefully
finished. Outside stitching is taboo,
and every corner and curve must
be perfectly nodded to the figure.
Select your pattern first and then
the material, as patterns will guide
you to correct materials for the
particular style which you have
chosen. Always have matching
thread to make the sewing neat.
I'm sure you've all seen dresses
without being aware of the dress to
any great extent, but rather more

Laundering Shirts

Washing and ironing a shirt
is not the contrary job it's reput-
ed to be, even though there are
many older homemakers who
hate the thought of doing the
shirts. There's a trick, or per-
haps several of them, to doing
the job properly.
First of all, make sure the
shirt is clean. Put it through
two washings to make sure it is
immaculate. Use a soft but firm
brush for scrubbing collars and
cuffs, as they soil most easily.
Never rub the two together as
this simply paves the way for
fraying.
Turn the pockets out and make
sure there is no dirt, CRIME or.
tobacco resting at the bottom of
the pocket. If you don't do this,
there's bound to be trouble dur
ing ironing.
If it is a cotton shirt you are
washing, make the first rinse wa
ter warm, the second cool.
Rinse twice. Starch while wet
but consult the man as to how
he likes his shirt starched.
When you hang the shirt to
dry, try to get most of the wrin-
kles out of it by shaking them
out. This makes the ironing cas-
Ter. When dry, dampen slightly
and roll in a towel, but do not
wad the shirt too tightly as this
will create wrinkles that just
need to be ironed.
Start ironing with the wrong
side of the collar, then 60 to the
right side. Yoke and sleeves are
next. Then iron down the front
of the shirt so as to shape the
shirt properly.
If you make an addition to the
ironing board about the size of
a bread board, but quite a bit
lighter and pad this, it ear be
slipped over the regular board
alyi used for shirts.

Woman's World
Semi-FOrmals Need Variety Ii

by GsAa Haley
Woman's World
by G,Aa Haley

a FRIEND Of mine confided to
~ me recently that she lever
seemed to have as smart looking
clothing as her friends, although she
spent as much as they did. After
checking her wardrobe, we found
that she made n error from sea-
son to season.
It's an easy error to fall into, and
n you may be guilty of without
perhaps realizing it. This friend OF
mine had found n basic dress that
she liked and she bought a similar
one every year, ven though in a
slightly different color. Although the
basic design was becoming to her,
it finally became so monotonous
that she felt she was not having any
variety in her wardrobe, as were
her friends.
Every woman should realize that
every season requires something
entirely different in the way of color
and design if she is to be complete
ly happy about her clothes. / GER
tainly don't suggest that you go In
for bizarre experiments in clothing,
hats or accessories, but there are
many attractive colors and styles
from which to choose.
Before you choose your afternoon
or semi-formal dress or your going
out, dress-up dress, whatever name
you give it, make a list of the kind
of interests and dates you're plan
ming to have. Then select a dress
that will fit all these purposes as
well as possible.
Even though black is smart, don't
repeat it every time you buy a
dress. See what navy blue can do
for you or royal blue or a deep
bright red or perhaps the new gray
beige tone with jeweled touches
about the throat or belt. You'll have
a nice surprised
Select Dress to Fit
Your Type
If you are sewing the dress at
home, you can't do justice to either
material or pattern unless you real
ize your limitations with the needle.
Unless you are experienced in work
ing with material, don't choose
draped styles that may be hard to
handle. The soft, simple dress is
designed just for you, and it need
never lack variety.

British Veteran Finds
Dimouf in Lighf.of-Love

MILWAUKEE,. - A British naval
veteran who travelled all the way
from Nottingham, England, to be
married learned that the lady had
changed her mind.
1t all came about because Nor
man Throp, %, a former radio Off
Ger in the British navy, didn't re-
ceive a letter which Viola Wellstein,
%, of Milwaukee, sent him saying
that everything was off.
Throp and Miss Wellstein met at
a dance in New York last October.
She said that she just didn't feel
the same way about it that she did

German Children Learning to
Sing Star Spangied Banner

FRANKFURT, GERMANY. -
German children are learning to
sing 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner"
It's tough going, but they are try
ing.
Air force officers have added a
German version of the U. S. ma
tional anthem to recreation courses
for German youth, sandwiching the
songfests between baseball and foot
ball.
AS a substitute for some of the
songs the German boys and girls
used to sing, the anthem presents
some problems.
Where it fits the music in Eng
lish with 10 short words for the
first line, "Oh, say, a you see by
the dawn's early light" it comes
out in German, "Oh, sag, kannst
du beim LIGHT DIES fruehen morgen-
rots sehen," and what started out
to be what so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last cleaning"
comes out "Was so stolz wir
g~ruessten waehrend des zwielichts
letZtem Schlmmer."
The American flag flies over the
fields as the children sing the an

Choose Accessories
To Enhance Dress

If you've received some particu-
larly attractive jewelry recently and
have nothing which really goes with
it, there's nothing better than an
attractive afternoon dress to set it
off properly. If the jewelry is large
and Cutlery, select something SIM
pie and classic to show it off.
Or, if you have a very attractive
lacy dickey, make a dress that will
truly show it off we'll. On dresses
such as these, use a very good quail
ity material, simply but well made.
Small tucks or pleats in the bodice
or skirt may be used effectively, but
they should be well tailored.

If you select a suit for sportswear,
select one of the nice tweeds now
available. If it is pleated, make
sure the pleats are deep enough to
allow for easy movement.
