Here's What to do
With Old Trousers
If Dad has had all the wear he
expects to get from wooden trous-
ers, and they still have wearable
material in them, make them over
for his namesake. If both boy and
Dad are about the same size, little
alteration is needed. Sometimes it
just requires nipping in at the waist,
new buttons, and a lifting of the
trouser cuffs to make them fit and
wearable, at least for play or Satur-
day morning chores.
If the trousers are in good condi-
ton and there's a big difference in
size between Dad and Junior, rip
the trousers apart carefully and
then cut them down with a pattern.
Faded trousers should be dyed as
described in this column before they
are recut and sewed.
Good tailoring on wooden materi-
al requires that each seam be
pressed open fully Immediately
after the sewing is finished. Do this
by laying a pressing cloth over the
seam which has been folded back,
sponge lightly, and press with a
iron.

U.S.. Seeks Waysto Aid
Europe Before Call
For Special Session

The United States Is seeking to
exhaust every other possible way of
providing dollars to help European
countries buy food and fuel this
winter before considering a new
emergency aid appropriation.
This was made clear by Under
secretary of State Lovett at a news
conference late yesterday, when he
again refused to say whether the
State Department believes a special
session of Congress will be neces-
sary to provide all the funds needed.
He said Government agencies,
prodded by the State Department,
have been trying for weeks to dig up
every dollar properly owing to such
dollar short countries as Italy,
France and England so as to reduce
the amount of direct aid required.
Some Funds Due Italy.
For one thing, he said, this Gov
ernment still owes Italy some money
for the work Of Italian prisoners of
war. This is not expected to exceed
SIS, 100000, but prompt settlement
will be some help to Italy.
Mr.. Lovett said efforts also were
being made to speed up distribution
of the so-called pot Of gold''-gold
seized by the Nazis from other Euro
pean countries and recovered by the
Allies. Some reports value this gold
at around $250,000, 900.
In addition, Mr.. Lovett said, there
are some forms of economic assist
ance which apparently could be met
by private bank loans or Export
Import Bank credits. Possible use
of the Commodity Credit Corp. and
other agencies also is being studied.
Need Still Uncertain.
Mr.. Lovett indicated that he be-
lieved all such efforts would not be
enough to get Europe through the
winter, however. But he said no
estimate is available yet as to how

LEARN HI n
TO L( OK
BETI

Being well-groomod is not a mat
ter of dollars but Of sense" How
many of you women are very happy
over yourselves? Are you perfect
or can you improve yourselves with
few hints?
Every woman should want to look
her best at all times. Remember
that you do not see yourselves as
others see you.
There are many things we could
talk about such as posture or care of
skin, teeth, hair and feet But let us
talk about colors. Too many of us
do not use the right color in our
every day living.
Never in history was color more
important to women than today. 1t
is up to us to h e p brighten our
world, and we can help in the way we
dress.
Here are some hints for using COL
ors: % Use several colors in an out
fit. Try different sets of colors and
see how they look. Get colors which
make the lines of your face softer.
For instance, when you're tired and
worn from a days work, try white,
pink and blue combination. On
cold and dreary day after you've done
your work, wear a black, red and
white combination. (2) Choose col
ors to fit the type you are. If you
are the lively type, use red, bright
green, or rust. If you are the quiet
type, choose medium rose, blue and
green. CD Choose colors for the oc-
casion. Do not wear bright colors
to a funeral such as bright red, yell
low or orange Do not wear dull
colors to a party such as brown, gray
or rust.
No matter where you are-in the
city, on the farm, or in a small town
begin today to improve your dress
habits. Would you like to hear others
say isn't she attractive? Well you
can if you try. What about it?
