Things to M1ke for Christmas.

Things to Moke for Christmas.
If you're one of those lucky peo-
pie with a few hours a day on your
hands with a yen for unusual gifts
for your friends, you'll enjoy whipp-
ing these suggestions, just as much
as their receivers will love them
for Christmas.
School girls, brides, travelling
people, most anyone with a taste
for pretty things would like a quilt
ed monogrammed box for their suit
case or dresses drawer for hankies,
undies, or jewelry. A cigar box, a
cardboard box, or strips of plywood
or be~averboard will make the frame,
cover with cotton batting, and en-
close in a quilted satin or taffeta
covering. Piping stitches on quick
ly to make any style initials on top.
An amateur seamstress has little
trouble with this gift, as the piping
is easy to arrange, and a sewing
machine does the quilting. Use con-
trasting shade inside the box with
it's outer covering for unusual
effect. Another quilted gift is a lin
gerie folder, big enough for slips and
undies, or smaller for hanky folder.
Applique a posy on the cover, or
monogram it, or brighten it with a
bit of embroidery lace. It's a gift
always dear to the feminine heart.
Sift some sachet in the cotton as you
quilt it, to make it as sweet as it is
pretty.
Crocheted covers for cold drink
bottles or tea glasses in varicolor
yarns are another attractive gift.
And pastel crocheted edging on
plain linen makes beautiful guest
towels, that would cost a small for
tune in the shops.
Boys love the bright Argyle plaid

Meat Packers |Worn Against |OPA Controls
Claim Black Market Ready to Return Upon Restoration

Washington, Aug. 13-OP)-The American Meat Institute, repre- senting approximately 500 meat packers, warned today that resto- ration of price controls on meat would invite return of the black market.
 In testimony prepared for deliv- cry before the OPA price control board, the institute said that re- turn of ceiling prices on meat would be deplorable."
 Backing up the warning with charts and statistics, representa- tives for the institute said that new controls on meat would extend a g1lt-edge invitation for the black market to return with all its crookedness and maldistribution.
 Consumer and labor groups were ready to argue that uncontrolled meat prices would soar beyond the average consumers ability to pay. They also had ready statistics, fam fly budgets and an average family diet-before and after meat price controls were removed-to back their cases.
 Today's hearing was devoted ex- clusively to the meat price prob lem. The three-man board yester- day heard more than 20 witnesses on grain price controls. Tomor- row and Thursday, it will listen to price arguments on milk, soy beans and cottonseed
 The boards decision whether to restore price ceilings on meat. livestock, grains, milk, dairy prod uctS, soybeans and cottonseed must be made by Aug. 20. Under the new price act, controls on the ma jor food items will be restored au- tomatically on those commodities Aug. 21 unless the board rules oth- erWise.
 The American Meat Institute said that the industry was making a fast recovery from four years of strict government controls. Return of price controls, it held, would discourage meat production next year when high output is needed for price stabilization.
 Since meat ceiling prices lapsed June 30 with expiration of the old OPA law, the institute said, meat has hit the market in large quan- titles and at prices generally in line with OPA prices, or even lower.

 Shot'Friend'
Fired in Defense After Breaking in On Whe's Tryst

Chicago, Aug. 13- (UP) Mrs. Doris Murray, 36, waited at home alone today, hoping the testimony she gave to acquit her husband of murder charge would bring for giveness for the illicit romance which prompted the staying.
 A jury of eight women and four men last night acquitted Donald Murray, Al, of the murder of his best friend. The verdict was reached after 43 minutes of deliberation.
 The veniremen had been instruct ed that only one of two verdicts was possible-conviction on the states charge of murder or acquittal.
 Vote Unanimous
 They voted unanimously for ac- quittal after Mrs. Murray told of an eight-hour tryst last May 27 in hotel room with Murray's closest friend, Maj. John Fletcher of the Canadian Army.
 Fletcher was supposed to have left town on that day but he arranged the meeting with Mrs. Murray in- stead. Her husband, suspicious, made check of Loop hotels and found Fletcher registered at the Morrison.
 He burst into Fletcher's room. An argument ensued. Murray said he shot in self defense, and his wife corroborated his testimony. She said Fletcher attacked her husband with chair.
 Mrs. Murray heard the news of her husbands acquittal at her down. town office, where she operates a secretarIal service.
 Goes To Suburban Home
 T can't believe it's true" she ex- claimed, Its too good to be true"
 Then she went to her suburban Wheaton, H., home, to await a tel ephone call or visit from her hus- band.
 Murray, heavy-set deputy sheriff and salesman, showed no emotion as the verdict was announced. He shook hands with the jurors and thanked them for setting him free. The spectators who damned the courtroom cheered.
 Murray said he did not plan to leave Chicago.
 I'll stay here and try to face the music" he said.
 Asked whether he would return to his wife, he said:
