A Stitch In Time
Renews Old logs
BY ALICIA HART

Reinforce new clothes at seams,
hens, packets, pockets and neck
lines before they're worn, ano
you can usually saw yourself the
chore of tedious mending later on
and give many garments a much
longer life.
For that reason, clothing spe-
cialists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture suggests sting
raw edges of seams. Or better
still. notwithstanding near the
edges before overcasting. This ad.
vance stitching, the experts point
out, saves seams that have been
cut too close from fraying or com
ing apart.
Tape applied underneath those
points of a garment which come
in for special strain-end of a
placket or top of a pocket. for
EXAMPLES also suggested. An
other reminder is that necklines
and collars not cut on the straight
of the goods a be prevented
from stretching or tearing by
sewing tape on the underside of
the outer edge or by ripping open
the facing to reinforce with tape,
sewed next to the edge, and re-
stitching.
A stitch in time suggested for
carelessly made buttonholes, which
never look the same after they
tear, is a simple reworked blanket
stitch used before the button goes
in.

FAMOUS AVIATRIX ONCE
DROVE A TRUCK

THIS is a note of encouragement
l. for "tom-boys" and particularly
for parents who may not under
stand them. Girls who fall into the
classification of ''tom-boys" usually
simply have a stronger spirit of
competition or a greater streak of
adventure than other little girls.
Their greater activity may be early
expression of a sense of leadership
which may later lead to fame.
Amelia Earhart, queen of avia-
ton, was tom-boy. Born in Atchi-
son. Kaz., =. .S9S. she vas an urs-
usually active little girl. She loved
rough and tumble games, and she
could beat most of the boys her
age in sports and contests. She
graduated from Hyde Park high
school in Chicago and went on to
a girls school in Rydal, Pa. From
school she went to Canada where
she worked as a nurses aide in
Toronto war hospital. Stories of
World war pilots appealed to her
sense of adventure and daring; and
Amelia made her way to California,
determined TO learn to fly.
Here her self-reliance and tom
boy" courage was helpful, for she
had to earn the money for her in
structien. Amelia Earhart worked
for the telephone company and even
drove sand and gravel truck. Lat
er, she attended Columbia univer-
sity. She held % different jobs while
perfecting herself in the art of fly
ing. In 1923, she won the plaudits of
the world by being the first woman
to fly the Atlantic. As result of
this flight she gained recognition as
the foremost woman flyer, became
aviation editor of Cosmopolitan
Magazine, and vice president of two
important commercial airlines.

Council Approves New
Boiler, Stack For Plant
Concluded from page II

Concluded from page u
before the project can be completed.
Boiler In Present Plant
The boards proposal, worked out
with their consulting engineers,
calls for installation of the new
boiler inside the present plant build
ing, and in the space where over
head coal storage now is provided.
This will make it possible to re-
tain for standby use until the new
boiler is installed two outmoded
boilers, which have been condemned.
With these boilers the plant can
continue operation should emergen-
cies shut down the one serviceable
boiler, it was pointed out.
The boiler proposed is a Sterling
type with spreader stoker, and its
capacity of 1880 pounds per hour
will provide also for what normal
expansion of steam generation needs
may represent over the next several
years.
Concrete Stack
A concrete smoke stack is being
considered, instead of brick, because
of lower costs involved in construc-
ton, and also because concrete
better withstands shock from blast
ing, according to engineering re-
concentrations.
The new stack, 225 feet high and
eight feet in diameter, will be twice
as high as the present 110-foot
stack. It's principal advantage will
be in providing for more economical
operation of boilers. 1t will be
located near the present stack.
Board members appearing at the
meeting of the council expressed a
private opinion that cost of the
overall program will be in the neigh
borhood of $150,000, altho present
uncertainties applying to the price
of equipment and labor make it
virtually impossible to determine
the extent of expenditures required.
Of this, it is hoped that the board
will have roughly one-third of the
necessary funds to apply on the
improvement program.
