 An official naval board of in- euiry is investigating the eireuna- stances of the fire but no official release could be obtained from the Navy on the tragedy.

WAIT Il LITTLE

Youth is always a time of dis
content, of impetaoas desires. The
restraints of school, THE tediam
of studies, the Limitations ON So
eial life, are irksome to most all
adoleseents. The more sensible
ones make THE best of THE sitaa-
tion, get subat fun they can and
prepare for THE fuller life that is
just ahead. Many, boweper, like
Shirley wbo writes tho letter
quoted today cannot tOait. Either
they drudge along, desperately
unhappy or they make break
of some sort and find Wbat real
misery means, comments Miss
Norris.
Shirley is only 16, but she has
bad enough of school. Her studies,
like algebra and French, seem en-
tirely 1Dortbless. Even athletics
are a bore and aUaste of time, she
thinks. If only her parents woald
let her stop school she could get
a job and bare the money for
clothes and trills thai she longs
for. But they ,Oon't, and to make
it worse, they are unable to pro-
ride for her in THE style she thinks
is her due. Her mother, Wbo is
remarked, is rather strict, Shirley
complains, and disabbroves Of her
boy friends. Shirley likes both
Der father and her stebtatber, but
neither can gire her much. She
is a pretty girl, Nth some dra-
matte ability, and is anxious to
get into The mopies in nearby
Hollywood.
Miss Norris counsels her to
continue her schooling until The
end of bigb school at least. There
will be plenty Of time for her to
try for a career" in The movies
or other fields 1Vben she is ma
tire and educated enough to COPE
Nth the problems she assmedly
will face.

with movie folk, thought was way
inside the game. Thousands of girls
are doing that, talking movie patter,
knowing an occasional celebrity.
Lots get in, but an awfully small
percentage stays in. I married, as
lots of discouraged girls do. Mar
riage was all poverty and quarrel
ing, with two little boys to care for.
I love them, of course, and I feel
sorry for Dan. He was only kid,
too. I'd do it all differently now"
Wrecks, along the shores of hap
pier and more balanced lives. And
so many of them start with just
Shirley's mood, rebellion against
study, economy, home duties, home
dullness.
If you will consider these years as
preparation for full and useful
life, Shirley, you presently will dis
cover that the destiny for which you
hunger is moving toward you as in
evitably as are the days and the
years. Latin and algebra never ap-
pealed to me as Indispensable, but
why not try making yourself useful
at home, training yourself to be
good housekeeper, finding amuse-
ments and occupations that are
broadening and educational, watch
ing your speech, reading worth
while books?
These possibilities are all ready
to your hand and, while you are pa
tiently pursuing them, they will
alter your ideals in way that will
give you entirely new vistas of en-
joyment. Develop a well-rounded
character, make of yourself the sort
of woman you in your own heart ad-
mire most, and leave the rest to
fate. You cannot escape success if
you have built personality worthy
of it. Anything snatched now can
end only in bitter disappointment.

Paper Money Counter

A Washington inventor, Thomas
E. Hayes, has built machine that
sorts and counts paper money.
The machine has five compart-
ments, for S., So, SIS, $40 and $40 bills
respectively. At the top of each
compartment is a pair of rollers,
between which the operator feeds
the bills. As the rollers snatch the
bills away they are counted auto
matically on register at the top of
the compartment, and at the same
time their value is transferred to a
totalizer.

Primary Colors

The primary colors are red, yell
low and blue. All others stem from
these. The secondary colors are or
ange, green and violet-formed by
combining two primaries. Thus
yellow and blue give green; blue
and red give violet; and red and
yellow make orange. Complement
tary colors are those opposite each
other in the color wheel, (such as
red and green, yellow and violet
and blue and orange. A pair of
compliments is made up of one
primary and one secondary color.

They destroy crops and stacks Of

vitality important implement. Leo

Woman's World
If You Want Short Length Coat,
Cut Down Last Years Model
BY G,Aa Haley

YOU may be one of the many
women who have decided that
this years new look" is much too
expensive to achieve, inasmuch as
last year you bought new clothing
that you expected would be stylish
this year too.
When skirts are so much longer
and that means in the full length
coats as well as suits and dresses
1t just somehow seems impossible
to make last years coat do the job.
If you are interested at all in look
ing at all styled, then you prob
ably have decided that something
must be done about the coat sit
uation.
Those Of you with old boxy styled
coats will have already thought Of
the obvious answer. These coats
which are too short for the current
full length fashion may be cut down
just enough for the short length
fashion.
The shorter coats are very practi-
cal for casual wear and they even
can be made to do for the more
sedate occasions if the proper trim
ming Is added. Decide first what
you want to do with the coat, and
then carry out the alterations care
fully so that you will have a gar
ment of which to be proud.
There are other features, too,
which will make your clothes ap-
pear newer, and the small expense
which they involve will be more
than repaid in sense of wel-being.
Detachable Hoods Are
New, Practical
Hoods are being seen on as many
coats as dresses and they are some
thing very much in the fashion
news. Some of the hoods are of
same fabric as the coat, while
others are made of fur. Although I
have not seen any yet, I have no

Sewing on Heavy Fabrics
Not Considered Difficult

women who have done sewing, it is
not difficult to sew on heavy coating
fabrics. You simply have to loosen
your machine stitch and the sewing
will run along as neatly as on the
lighter weight dress fabrics.
There is one point to bear in mind
when selecting pattern for the
coat, and that is to avoid the very
casually tailored types. These look
deceptively simple to make, but
pointed lapels and fit require the
precision kind of tailoring that only
professional can do.
Be sure to press every seam that
is finished as soon as it comes off
the machine, as they must be very
fiat in order to proceed with the
work. Use damp cloth and warm
iron; go over the seam several
times until the cloth and wooden ..o-
ric are dry, and then the seam will
stay pressed and neat.
Never iron woolens without the
aid Of a damp cloth; and be sure the
iron is never hot, as wool scorches
very easily.
Select thread that is in keeping
with the weight of the material, for
this, too, will help make the sewing
easier.

doubt that you will be able to buy
them separately to attach to your
coats.
Or, if you are one of those fortu-
nate people who have a fur jacket
or cape no longer in use, with good
fur, you might consider the posi-
bility Of having a hood made from
that.
Smaller pieces of fur from other
garments might be used for collar
and cuff trimming. On many of the
good broadcloth coats which we
have seen recently the fur trim
ming is not very lavish, but it is
used very discriminatory to give a
touch of richness to the fabric.
Hoods on coats are a practical
feature as well as decorative one.

Interlining Coats is
Important for Cold

IN seasons before this one which
might easily be converted for use
now providing you have the re-
quired length. Perhaps you even
have lightweight coat in this
style.
The coat of which I speak is a
princess style held together at the
waist with a single button; or, if
there is large overlap on the coat,
there may be two buttons, side by
side, to hold the coat together.
Now if this is lightweight coat,
I would suggest that you line it
warmly as it probably will give you
lot of wear Immediately. Another
coat which you cannot alter to suit
the trend might be used for inter-
lining, especially if it is of light
weight wool, for this will not make
the coat too bulky.
Another possibility for the lining
it to use one from a discarded re-
versible coat. If you have to buy
extra material for lining, even this
would be worth the cost, because
you will get good wear from the
coat.

still will be a protection against
wind, but their primary use will be
decorative. Naturally, they can be
detachable so your coat does not
need to carry the hood at all times.
A last years coat shortened prop

give the proper style note with very
little other adjustment necessary in
the coat.
If you have casual coats to re-
make for the teen-aged girl, your
