Free School Lunches

School meals and welfare food
schemes begun in Great Britain
several years ago already are show
ing results. British children are
now heavier and taller than in 1899.
Under the school program, 1885,
600 children in England and Wales
receive midday meals free, or at
very small cost. The improvement
among the children is indicated in
the 8 to 14-year-old group, which is
now about half inch taller and two
pounds heavier than the prewar
average.

whirl and turn and see that every
seam ard line fits you just as it
should.
There are some pointers you'll
want to keep in mind when fitting
dresses, whether they are made or
being altered. A large woman, for
example, appears much smarter
If she observes a lack of too close
fit In her dress. The tighter the
dress, the more the large parts of
the figure tend to stand out. Heavy
parts are not only revealed but also
exaggerated with tightness.
An easy, casual fit for the large
woman gives a certain balance that
she does not actually possess. How
ever, too much looseness will de-
tract from the styling, so study the
figure carefully if this is your prob
lem.
Too thin figures should also avoid
tightness Of dress as this "skin fit"
tends to exaggerate extreme Slim
ness. A bit of casualness hides the
true contours of the figure and mini
mics the fault of being too slender.
Only those with really perfect fig
ures can afford the luxury of snug
ness throughout the garment to
bring out its perfection. And, even
models will tell you that figures like
that are extremely rare. For the
most Of us, truly good fitting con-
sists Of playing up our good points
and minimizing our imperfections.

a unified labor party, 81 million

Woman's World
Avoid That Homemade Look
With Professional Fitting
&y G,Aa Haley

MO MATTER whether you buy or
make your garments, there's
no argument about how much prop
er fitting of the clothing does for
you. There is, however, some con-
troversy about what constitutes
good fit because some women feel
that tightness is essential while 9TH
ers advocate looseness.
It's difficult to settle an argument
like that because so much depends
upon the figure involved as well as
the fashion, but there are certain
definite indications we can con-
slider.
Most experts give the following
description Of perfect fitting and I
think 1t helps clear the air in regard
to how clothes should fall on the
figure. A well fitted garment fits
over the bust snugly hut not tightly.
There should be no pinched look
as though you had "squeezed' into
the dress or blouse.
The waistline, too, should fit snug
ly. The dress should give the ap-
pearance of clinging to the waist
line, but there must be no bulge
above the waist. There should be
ease over the hipline-and those of
you who have worn garment that
was too tight over the hips and had
1t ride and wrinkle when you sat or
made you worry about splitting
seams, will know exactly what kind
of fit mean.
One of the most important things
Is to feel comfortable In the dress
you wear. Every figure varies from
the norm in at least two ways, and
that Is why the small alterations are
important. Not only will letting out
or taking in a quarter or a half an
inch here and there improve the
dress, but it will give you greater
comfort.
View Figure Critically
When Fitting Dress
No one who has had the pleasure
Of working with full length mir
ror when fitting a dress would ever
do without it. In front of it you can

and arms. If too tight, the seam
will split after the first wearing or
two, besides making you uncom-
Portable.
If the skirt falls under the figure,
alter by allowing the side seams to
swing forward, and raise the skirt
at center back until side seams hang
straight.
Make Careful Changes
For Neck, Sleeves
If you want to change the depth
or shape of the neckline on blouse
or dress, never cut this while the
dress is on the figure. It's a good
idea to have chalk with which you
can mark the change, then remove
the garment and cut one side of the
neckline. Try it on, and if you are
satisfied, you may cut the other side.
Collar fitting is important and the
proper fit is this: Let the collar fit
the neck closely with revers, if any,
lying flat on the garment. I know
that it may sound improbable but
there are some necklines and collars
which do not go over the head cas-
lily, and you should notice this when
fitting.
Sleeves should never be stitched
until after basting and fitting. Go
through your normal movements
when trying them on with the gar
ment and observe any tightness or
pulling that can be adjusted before
the final stitches. Proper length Il
as important as proper fit.
Lengthwise and crosswise grain is
important when cutting the sleeve,
so it's the wise seamstress who
follows pattern instruction when do
ing that part Of the work. II neces-
sary, mark grains Of the goods be-
fore placing the pattern on material
preparatory to cutting.

Replacement
The senate war investigating
committee didn't cut too graceful
figure in the recent Howard Hughes
warplane contracts investigation.
There were too many antics, too
many monkey wrenches flying from
all directions to lodge in the ma
chinery.
Possibly as result Of this, Sen.
Homer Ferguson (Rep., Mich.).
chairman of the subcommittee on
the Hughes case, has suggested that
the group be junked, to be replaced
by permanent joint board.
Ferguson opined that such
committee could do better job
than the present outfit. A joint
group, he pointed out shyly,
could maintain a staff of ex-
perts to prepare all cases which
are to be given public hearings.
Could that be wishful thinking?
The war investigating committee
has certainly demonstrated it's need
for corps of experts of some kind
even if only an advisory group to
cope with Johnny Meyers double
talk.

The drama is built around the trials of three EngliShmen and one American whose plane is forced down in the mythical Shangri-La in their efforts to adjust themselves to the timeless living of Shangri- La, Tibetan Lamasery. The foibles. greed and vanity of human nature ultimately prove not only their own undoing but also the un- doing of at least one other LamaS- cry resident.
 This play is a difficult one for even professional adults to pro- duce effectively, and yet it was perfected and presented with ease and feeling by this young group Of ambitious amateurs in only one month of rehearsaIs under Harry W. Nelson's direction.
 The staging was effected in only four days and was one of the larg- est and most elaborately imagina- tive ever produced at the school. The magnificent LamaSery Interior effect was breathtaking, and the in set left stage of the English tea room gave a realistic background for the Prologue and Epilogue which were presented as Vignettes.

! Many neWspapermen seized the
vote in favor of discussing such
issues as Greece and Korea as
proof that the delegates were
Ginning up on the U. S. side" But
the diplomats themselves are more
cautious. Though they voted to
include issues raised by Marshall
on the agenda, some delegates
point out off the record, they are
not committed to backing Mar
shall when the debate on each
item opens.
There was one keynote in most
of the speeches made after Mar
shall leveled charges of disrup-
ton against the USSR and Vishin-
sky retorted with a charge that
U. S. big business is seeking a
new war. That keynote was that
the individual issues themselves
are not impossible to resolve if
the two big powers, the U. S. and
the Soviet Union, are willing to
seek compromise.
THOUGH newspapers are gen.
orally more outspoken than diplo-
mats, in this case a significant
number of papers throughout the
world found it less important to
take sides on individual issues
than to stress this same keynote.
