Others are still better if they have
belts that buckle, either wide or
narrow, depending upon the effect
you want to create.
Old belts, particularly old leather
belts, can be recovered with decora-
tive fabrics to match your dress.
Or, if you have material from
which the dress was made, consider
making a belt from it by covering
a strip of buckram.
It's also possible to make the
most of your belts by changing
buckles on them. Look over old
buckles first, and then investigate
the possibilities at the stores. Items
such as this are inexpensive but
often mean the difference between
success and failure in your clothes.
Gloves are becoming increasingly
important in the wardrobe, and
there is, much woman can do to
make them outstanding just by
little sewing tricks. All manner and
means of trimmings may be sewed
on the cuffs Of worn gloves of fabric
to make them new and fashionable.
Much is being made of puffs at
the wrists of gloves. If, for ex->
ample, you have taffeta trimming
on your dress, you might buy extra
taffeta and trim the cuffs of your
gloves with it. Small pins and orna-
ments also may be used.

RenOvate Your Old Accessories
HYOu Can't Purchase New Ones
& G,tta Haley

A FRIEND of mine who operates
"A on a very limited clothes
budget tells me that she spends
very little on things such as gloves,
purses and belts. Looking at her,
however, one finds it hard to be-
lieve. What, then, is the secret?
There's no secret to it at ALL"
she goes on to explain. Il simply
make my own or renovate the
things I have, copying the new fash
ions faithfully. You see 1 like to buy
good basic clothes and add new,
fashionable touches to them.
Actually it's very simple matter
to do this, particularly if you are
bit thrifty and fashionwise. And,
what's more, it takes less time to
whip up a belt out of an old piece of
felt or grosgrain or a bag, than it
does to make dress.
One of the things / always re-
member about this particular friend
of mine is that her white bags and
gloves always appear immaculate
even in the warmest, sultriest
weather. Her trick? WELL" she ex-
plains, 81 have one inexpensive
pouch bag for which there are three
or four covers. I make these at
home-they take less than half an
hour to sew together, and then I
always have fresh one to slip over
the bag itself"
This might suggest that you could
make "slipover" covers for some of
your other bags as the material or
leather on them becomes too frayed
to look attractive. Use contrasting
colored woolens, for example and
have both gloves and bag to match.
Bags May be RemOdeled
In Different Ways
In addition to sewing different
kind of covers for the bags, there
are other ways of freshening them.

Stripes Came Before Stars
In Flag of Our Country

The stripes on the American flag
are older than the stars. The
Grand Union flag of 1776, which
George Washington hoisted over
the American camp at Cambridge,
Mass, as the first flag of the
American colonies, had 13 red
and white stripes, but no stars on
its blue field. Instead, there were
the combined crosses of ST. An
drew and St. George taken from
the British flag and symbolizing
the union of Scotland and England.
The crosses were not replaced with
13 white stars until a year and a
half later-on June IA, 1777.

Sales Tax Head
Asks Cooperation
OF The Public

Walter E. Kennedy, well-known
business man Of Baltimore, who was
prevailed upon by James ]. Lacy,
State Comptroller, to become chief
of the retail sales tax division, asks
the public to cooperate in securing
sales tax licenses Immediately and
not waiting until the last minute.
Applications may be secured ct is
West Baltimore Street, Baltimore,
headquarters Of the sales tax divi-
sion, or in any Of the Court Houses
in the % counties. A fee OF 81 must
accompany the application.
In an effort To inform the people
of the State on the workings Of the
sales tax, Mr.. Kennedy and his as
sociates are conducting an extern
sive educational program, not only
in Baltimore, but in various parts
of Maryland. He hopes to visit
every county in the State.
Word from the Comptrollerss Of
fee states that courteous and
competent group Of people are be-
ing assembled to exercise the au-
thority granted the Comptroller
under the terms OF the Act and to
administer the Act fairly and with
as little hardship and inconvenience
to the people affected as possible.
The act, as passed by tine Legis-
lature, says that Whoever en-
cages in retail sales which are sub
ject to tax without license shall be
deemed guilty Of misdemeanor and
upon conviction shall be fined not
less than $25 and not more than
500.
Among the taxable items are
such things as food and lodgings.
Food includes meals or drinks sold
for consumption on the premises Of
any restaurant, hotel, drug store,
tavern, club, resort or other places
where such items are sold to the
public. A tax must be collected for
all lodgings such as in hotels, inns,
tourist cabins or any other place
\
in which rooms, lodgings or accom-
modations are regularly furnished
to the public for consideration.
According to a recent announce
ment from the Information Divi-
sion Of the Comptroller's Office,
subscriptions TO a newspaper are
paid for the news service itself and
not for the paper and. therefore,
are not subject 10 tax. On the other
hand, job printing and other sup
plies are subject to the tax.

Commissioners Approve A
Budget OF $5>6o6>7H.57.

The Montgomery County Conn
missioners on Tuesday approved a
budget of $5,696, 711.57 for the
year beginning July 1, 1947, an
all-time high for the County. This
total does not differ from that pre-
sented at the public hearing held
last week in the Circuit Court
Room, Rockville. There has been a
change and a shift in some of the
items, however.
The budget which is based on
tax rate of $1.88, an increase of
$.3S, was passed by vote of 4 to

(He later explained that he
thought the total too high, and that
some items which should have been
raised were not.)
The budget as approved Tues
day not only failed to restore the
100000 cut from the amount re-
quested by the Board of Education,
but Topped off another $4,000 de-
spite the pressure brought to bear
by organizations represented at the
budget hearing. The amount allot-
ted to education is far in excess of
last years., 1886, 1854 as compared
to the $1,86O,299 appropriated for
the year ending June 80, 1947. Ac-
tually the schools spent only ST.
COS, 1877 of the amount allotted for
1946-47.
The proposed cut of $4,000 in
the Welfare Department was re-
stored. This represents the amount
necessary to supplement by 20 per
cent the salaries of State Welfare
workers. Sheriff Charles Orme was
given a raise of 81 900 making his
salary $4,000 year.

tinued, and appropriated the money

Many interesting comments are

early 1905. Its first meeting was
held on February %, 1872, on the
farm of DIR. Roger Brooke, father
of Miss Sallie P. Brooke and Mrs.
Emily Coulter. This farm is now
owned by Calvin Bready. There
were four Brookes among the orig
inal members, including Walter
and Alban, brothers Of Roger, as
well as Charles T. Brooke. The lat
ter's death in 1910 marked the
passing of the last charter member
of the Club.
Members gave explicit advice in
response to questions asked =
"what will you dowith trespassing
stock?" First, get angry" Second,
Ego to law" Third, "shoot." Like
