On summer c0tt0nS
type of garment will need many
tubbings before the season is over
Forget the frills in garments of
this type. If you want any trimming
at all, then take care of the decora-
ton by piping with a contrasting
colored tape, or putting a little row
of feather stitching at the sleeves
in contrasting thread.
Another decorative trick for the
simple out-of-doors garment is the
use of buttons. Since the garment
will be Numbered frequently, it is
best to sew the buttons we'll but not
too tight so they will last with their
original stitching.
Proper Clothing
For Daytime
If you are a working woman, you
will want to choose fabrics that are
comfortable but which hold their
shape well inasmuch as many
clothes seem to wilt before noon
when the weather is excessively
hot. In this case, select a material
that is lightweight but which has
some body and preferably one
which is fairly Wrinkle-free or
crush-resistant.
Use the simplest of details for the
business dress and avoid elaborate
details such as lots of pleats and
ruff1ing, as this makes for a fussi-
ness that can look anything but
cool. You will really appreciate the
simpler type dresses if you do your
own laundering, because they take
less time to wash
Simple, short jackets are very
nice on dresses for business wear
for they give a charming detail to
the dress, and they can easily be
slipped off during the middle of the
day in the privacy of an office when
the weather becomes unendurably
warm.
You will notice that there is little
work to making the new styles be-
cause there are no real sleeve prob
lens and other details that are so
time-consuming. However, remem-
Der that styling is important, and
fit is absolutely essential if you
would look your smartest.
When you select dresses for late
afternoon or evening wear, you
don't want to overlook the possibili-
ties of the transparent fabrics. How
ever, choose the slip with the same
care as you do the outer garment
as it is an integral part of the en-
semble. Make the slip yourself if
you are not certain of finding one
that looks well underneath the gar
ment.
Generally you'll find that the
cooler dresses have very loose
sleeves, or cap sleeves which are
now so popular. Necklines, too, will
help you keep cool if they are loose
rather than high up and tight.
In working with the sheer fabrics,
if you find them difficult for sewing,
use tissue paper underneath while
stitching and then tear this off when
you have finished.
1t is best not to try to make but
tonholes for the buttons on very
lightweight and sheer materials. If
you feel that buttons are essential.
sew the buttons on carefully. and
then place snap fasteners on the
dress for the closings. Do not select
too heavy buttons as they tend %
pull the dress out of place.

Draperies of plain or small pat

figured fabrics go best with a plain
wall.
A vegetable brush really works
better than dish-cloth for wash
ing dishes. It removes sticky spots
and is easier to keep clean and
sweet.

Cities Are Vulnerable
To Attack by A-Bomb
10 Per Cent of Population Lives
In Danger Zone.

WASHINGTON. - More than 81
million Americans - 40 per cent of
the population - live in metropoli-
tan areas so vulnerable to atomic
attack that any one of the areas
could be largely destroyed by a sim
gle A-bomb, DR.. Warren S. Thomp-
son, population expert, reports.
In a report prepared for the cen
u bureau on the growth of metro
politan districts between 1900 and
1910, he said the physical structure
of American cities was, with few ex-
ceptions, ''ideal for destruction by
A-bombs."
He did not say which cities were
exceptions"
Thompson, director of Scripps
Foundation for Population Research
at Miami (Ohio) university, said
there we're 40 metropolitan dis
tricts with 100, 900 or more inhabi-
tants in 1910, ~contrasted with only
"A in 1910.
"Any one of these could be large
ly destroyed by a single A-bomb, as
we now know" he said. "And prob
ably not more than half a dozen
would be able to function at all after
six or eight such bombs as that
dropped at Hiroshima had fallen on
them"
He added that there had been
no evidence of any major trend to-
ward decentralization or dispersal
of American urban populations. In
fact, he said, all indications are that
the big cities and their suburbs will
continue to grow rapidly at least
through the rest of the 1940-50 dec
ade.
Thompson attributed the continu-
ing expansion to the heavy influx
Of workers from rural areas, rather
than to any increase in the birth
rate among city jewellers.

Judge Cites Roman Law;
Ring Must Be Returned

LOS ANGELES, CALF. - Su-
perior Judge Leo Freund
reached back nearly 1000 years
to old Roman law and found it
good in holding that an engage
ment ring is not the woman's
property until marriage.
He ruled that Miss Betty Sim
clair, 40, of North Hollywood,
must return a diamond ring to
her former f%iance, Russell O..
Priebe, 46, real estate man, I'M
less she chooses to pay him $4,000
instead. The judge said Roman
law held that an engagement ring
was merely a symbol of troth-if
the troth was broken, the ring
went back to the donor.
Priebe sued to recover the ring
and a $500 gold brooch and $1,000
cash. Judge Freund ruled that
Miss Sinclair may keep the cash
and brooch.

VETERANS GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

he's also willing and able to work.
 I know about this incident, be- cause Betty wrote me a protesting letter. She wondered why she couldn't get the readjustment al lowance when she knew that several married women, who had no in tention of ever going to work were drawing the 520.
 Why" she demanded.
 Most people are honest Some aren't. Most veterans who sign up for readjustment allowance really are looking for employment. A few don't want job at all. They only want the $20 The married women Betty mentioned in her letter be- long to this latter class.
 Anyway Betty things she's being mistreated, and she's bitter Prob ably plenty of other veterans are, too. But if she had looked into the Jaw carefully she'd have known just where she stood.
 The moral If you're looking for one is this: If you want some vet eranS benefit, find out about it from the right people. Don't just go around signing papers and hop ing for the best.

VETERAN PURCHASING
 OF SURPLUS IS NOW
 SIMpLIF!ED BY WAA

The War Assets Administration regulations pertaining to the pur- chase of surplus personal property by veterans for use in their own small business, professional or agri- cultural enterprise have been re- vised. The new procedure is de- signed to speed up disposals to veterans and to eliminate the pre- sale certification red tape.
 With the exception of industrial equipment, airplanes, laundry equip ment, and farm equipment, it is no longer necessary for a veteran to be certified prior to sale. Under the new procedure the veteran is only required to show copy of his re- lease from the military service at the s.le and to sign an ownership statement.
 A special form has been designed to be used when a veteran desires to purchase by mail. This is not a form for blanket use but will be attached to each copy of future sales lists issued and will apply to the particular sale
 Under the new procedure Ill awards at sales will be made on a First Comc-First Served" basis with those veterans present and veterans with mail orders on hand in the WAA office at the opening hour of the sale considered to be First Come" Awards will no longer be made on the basis of the oldest date of certification.
 This system will provide a one soop service at sales and will thus save the veteran considerable time in purchasing surplus property. Flu ture sales will as in the past be ad- vertised through the newspapers ir order that all veterans might be wei informed of equipment available foi sale.
 No change has been made in "Set Aside sales. When vehicles or of flee eauipment is offered at Set Aside" sale it is only required that l the veteran show a copy of his re- lease from the military service tc eligibility as veteran.

This is the short, short story of Betty Brown. an ex-Leathernectar- inc who lives in the State of New York.
 At one time Betty had an inn portant job in the Marine Corps. She had to see that her big brother marines got their mastering out checks on time. They always did.
 Betty says that after she got out of the WRs one of the things she had to do right away was get to a dentist. Felt as though there were little fox holes in every tooth
 Her dentist asked her why she hadn't had the work done in the Marine Corps. where it would have been for free. She told him she tried but something always inter fered.
 Though he was booked up solid for months in advance. he agreed to sandwich her in between his other patients. That was fine. but she couldn't take 5oo until che dentist had finished haS work She had to spend too raaaeh time in hiS care.
 That's wsly she weNs around b the State gsaal1asua,saa SSzytoS ot- flee in her sewra se &rcly for she GI Bill reaGJszss1saSn5 allowance She signed up. thinking that s2e for .he next couple og weeks vca2s1 slelp keep her in food ard clothing until her teeth were fixed and she could go to work.
 When she went back to the un- employment compensation office the next week to pick up the check she thought would be there) she walked right into his question Have you made an effort to find job since the last time you were in here?"
 "No,' she repied. How could I? I cart go to work till I'm through going to the dentist
 The compensation man produced a paper for her to sign. It stateI that the signer was unable to &C., cept employment
 The USES gur then explained that her name would have to be re- moved from the unemployment compensation files. In addition, he told her, she would be penalized for signing up for readjustment 1l- lowance when she wasn't really '"able to work"-the penalty to be a two months ineligibility for the CT Bill readjustment allowance.
 Betty got sore, not alone from the drill work being done on her teeth but from treatment she didn't think she deserved.
 But what Betty doesn't realize is that the State employment peo pie only did their duty The law is specific It states that no veteran is eligible for the allowance unless

PATENTS GRANTED UNDER H0MESITE
 PERMITS TO TWO

Two homesites on the Tongass National Forest have been made available for patent recently un- der the applicable public land laws, according to information re- ceiyed in the Juneau office of Re- gional Forester B. Frank Heintzle- man. One of these, under homesite permit to Erik G. Larson. is in the Triangle Homesite Group near Aux Bay; the other is at Tenakee, uncer homesite 7 permit to Carl Engstrom.
 The signing of the public land order by the Secretary of the h. terior on August 29, l947, eliminat- ing these areas from the Nation al Forest, is the first step toward patent. Homesite permits were originally issued hy the Forest Service authorizing occupancy of the land, and the above permittees have resided continuously on the permit area for at least three years to the exclusion of a home elsewhere
 This is in line with the Forest Service policy of providing tracts of land for homes for bona fide settlers along Forest highways and in sections adjacent to commun- ities.
 Thousands of dollars have been spent from Forest Service funds in building spur roads to open new groups of homesites so that these may be laid out and made avail able in advance of demand
