is to look to the underarm seam.
II the garment is too loose and hangs
in baggy fashion, pin wider seams
in the dress, and baste and stitch
them. But wait, just a moment,
you're not quite finished yet. Seams
should be equal on both sides, or
the garment will feel off balance and
eventually acquire that look.
If you have taken the garment in
a great deal, it's best to trim the
seams down. Do your pinning and
fitting on the right side Of the gar
ment first, then transfer the pins and
turn to the wrong side after you are
certain the garment is fitted prop.
erly.
On the other hand, your dress may
fit too tightly to feel really. comfort
able. Then let out as much material
as possible from the seams to re-
ieve the strain.
If you are adding piece of ma
terial, it must taper off down to the
waist so the garment will hang prop
erly. If you do not need much at the
waist, taper the piece Of material off
to nothing, but do taper it.
Contrasting colored material often
is used to give extra room at the
sides of the garment, and will be
effective if you have to extend it
below the waist to allow more room
at the hips. Be sure bands of con-
trasting material are well balanced
in size.
The hipline is pinned in much the
same fashion as above the waist if
it is too loose. Do not make the
dress too tight, and here again see
that both sides are even.
In meking a garment more roomy
at the hips, let out all seams to give
yourself as much material as pos
sible. If this does not give you
enough room, have trimming band
running on either side.
In some dresses, it is possible to
remake the skirt so as to give you
more room. This can be done when
the skirt is pleated, and you can cut
down the number Of pleats and make
simple straight skirt out of it.

First seckel Pear Tree

John Seckel was the owner of the
first Seckel pear tree known in
America and it is believed it was
imported from Germany. He
planted the tree on a farm near
Philadelphia which Stephen Girard
later purchased. It was bearing
fruit in 1884 and still bearing fruit
in 1880 but in the early part of this
century only stump of the tree
remained.

A good way to tell if sweet pota-
toes are ready for storage is to
break one in half and notice how
quickly the moisture disappears. If
the broken surface dries slowly, it
is an indication that the potato is
not mature. If the moisture dries
quickly, the potato is ready for har-
vest and storage. The appearance
of milk-like drops of moisture on
the broken surface will also tell
you that the potato is not mature.
And still another sign of i'm
maturity is the green coloring the
surface will acquire after being ex-
posed to the air for a few minutes.

The u%niversitys research cen

substances which are eaten by

plants and their paths followed
through the organic systems by
the radiations emitted.
The substances that can be

Professor Hevesy performed his

A tremendous impetus to radio

the production of radioactive ele-

SECRET RADIO
BROUGHT OUT
Instrument Used In World
War By Marshall And
Churchill Revealed

WASHINGTON W.D = The Brit
ish Information Service has re-
vealed the secret behind s e c r e t
radio No. 10.
That was the code name given
to the secret radio, a specially de-
vised portable machine by. which
Field Marshal Sir Bernard L.
Montgomery and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill maintained
contact in World War II.
Montgomery used the radio
from his battlefield headquarters
to keep Churchill informed of
latest developments.
TIE secret radio was perfected
by a group of British government
scientists in four hectic" weeks
Spokesman said it was so effec-
tive that even if German agents
did tap conversations they would
hear ''just a meaningless tumble
of sound.
Hectic Weeks Recalled
One scientist who helped de-
velop the No. 10 was Donald
Cooke of the signals research and
development department Of the
British Ministry of Supply.
81 a well remember the hectic
four weeks during which the small!
team of scientists worked night
and day to perfect the first mod
els, Cooke said. up till then it
had been nothing more than a
brilliant idea. We scientists h a d
undertaken to give a working
demonstration in four weeks, and
we kept our promise, though such
a job might we'll have been ex-
pected to take six months.
"And they say he continued,
that Field Marshal Montgomery
thought so highly of the new in
vention that whenever he pushed
forward and looked for a new site
for his headquarters he chose it,
not so much for its convenience
from the point of view of his staff.
but as the best place to suit the
radio beam.
The No. 10 could carry eight
separate conversations simultane-
ously on a single wave length. By
means of a scrambling device the
conversations were chopped into
70. 900 impulses each second.
These chopped impulses then were
transmitted by wireless, received
and reassembled into the original
eight conversations.
