It's genuine pleasure to step
into well pressed, clean clothing
every morning before you step out
to 60 to work or shopping. Even
if you stay at home, you will feel
much more like something human,
no matter what the temperature, if
you dress well.
If you do not have indies that
need no ironing, make an invest
ment in some Immediately. Most
women find it easy to wash things
out nightly, but ironing comes with
little more difficulty. Use rayons
or nylon, and these will not need
the touch of ironing to be ready to
wear.
Several sets of accessories are
also a good investment for groom
ing. Gloves, unless they are light
weight, rarely dry overnight, so it
pays to have several pair on hand
which can have sufficient time to
dry out.
The same is true of shoes. There
should be at least two pair to wear
during the season because they will

er-most of the times professional
one at best-then we will have days
when there is not much to wear.
Think how much better it is to have
at least half the wardrobe that can
be sudsed at home and made ready
within few hours.
Whether you buy or make your
dresses, check the tags on the ma
terial that tell you whether it can be
washed or must be cleaned, and
gauge your purchasing accordingly.
Choose number of dresses which
you can launder easily, and then
you can always be certain of fresh
frock, if you must do it at home.
I do not advocate too many wear
ings for summer garments without
cleaning or laundering because,
whether they actually show soiling
or not, they do show a whiting or
lack of freshness which is unbecom-
ing. Constant cleanliness is neces-
sary if you want that crisp, band
box look at all times.
Another tip that will help you
keep looking neat is to have easily
washable accessories that always
will look neat. Quickly drying
gloves, purse covers, fresh-looking
artificial flowers that can be revived
by steaming, freshly polished white
shoes all will make you look more
attractive, but of course they must
be immaculately cleaned.

Womun,s World
Achieve Real Summary Look
With Warm Weather Clothes
by G,tta Haley

IF YOU want to look fresh and
feel cool this summer, do some
extensive planning on your summer
wardrobe. Summer clothing should
never be just modification of win
ter clothing, but it should have a
style and distinction of its own.
So many women sacrifice style for
comfort in their summer apparel
without ever realizing that both can
be achieved in the same garment,
that 1t seems few tips on how to
make summer clothing look as it
should look would not be lost.
Most designers evidently feel this
way if new clothing is any guide to
what they are thinking. For ex-
ample, a season or two ago, we be-
gan to see more black and navy blue
fashions appear during summer.
This seemed to be a reaction against
some of the frowzy, billowy prints
that some women had been wear
ing.
Then, too, we have seen nice soft
draping replace many of the big
fared skirts that so many women
wore during the summer in an eff
fort to achieve styling as well as
comfort. So, check over your ward
robe now and see if it meets the de-
mand for style as well as comfort.
If you have dresses with fabrics
that rumple and wrinkle easily, or
lose their shape quickly after wear
ing, discard them. Yes, I realize
this seems wasteful, but to me it's
more OF a waste to look and feel
lack of neatness all during the warm
weather.
We all like light things because
they absorb less heat and make us
feel cool, but ightness as well as
neatness can be combined in dresses
II your fabric is well finished. Or,
If it's a dark linen, you might choose
a light jacket or even add lovely,
summary lingerie touches to the
garment to make it look in season.
Choose Summer Clothing
That Launders Easily
One of the mistakes many of US
make in selecting summer clothing
Is lack Of launderability. If every
dress in the summer wardrobe re-
quires the attention Of dry clean

For. Craving Hair

Be careful of the dress colors you
choose, If your hair Is going through
the grazing STAGE
: What. you want to rule out of your
wardrobe are browns, tans and yell
lows. These seem to emphasize the
unwanted tinge in hair.
BY picking powerful opposites In
dress colors, you can play down the
undesirable tone in your hair. Navy
blue and dark-blue greens are usu-
ally good. A very dark gray dress
color can dominate hair tones with

Keep Clothing in
Repair and Order

AASSP HI
Repair and Order
Some women find 1t easier to keep
clothing in condition if mending is
done once a week; others find it bet
ter to mend as soon as it's required.
Both systems have their points to
recommend them, but whichever
one you choose, follow to the letter.
Another factor which is instru-
mental in keeping clothes well con-
ditioned is hanging them properly.
AS soon as they come off, do hang
them up if you want the cloth
ing to keep its shape. Padded hang
ers are excellent for keeping thin,
sheer dresses in good condition.
Clothing should be well aired, too,
and for this reason it's well not to
crowd them in the closet. If space
is limited, fold away all winter
clothing after it has been cleaned
and store in boxes or suitcases if
there is no alternate closet. Full
closets also will keep clothing in q
wrinkled condition.
Shoulder pads on summer dresses
should be removable as they will
get so much cleaning, it's impos-
sible to keep them looking crisp. II
you do not care for the job Of rernov-
ing and attaching them, it might be
wise to invest in one of the light net
vestees that are worn underneath
the dress. These have well designed
pads in them, and in this way will
eliminate the actual padding Of the
dress.

NEW YORK.-The latest picture
of the health battle against tuber-
culosis in the United States shows:
A SO per cent reduction in the
death rate in the last Is years.
Cautious promise that strepto-
mycin to treat the disease and BGG,
a vaccine, may speed the process.
There still is a long way to 60.
Back in 1910, when tuberculosis
had gotten its name the white
plague" it was the leading killer
disease in the United States. It
now ranks seventh.
Just IS years ago the death rate
was SO per 100000 population. Last
year it was SO, says Godias ]. Drolet,
statistician of the New York TIL
berculosis and Health Association.
tuberculosis took 1o5,478 lives in
1922 and 5O,285 last year. At the
1922 rate 1874 1893 persons would have
died last year.

Dakotas, DR.. Levine said. Only a
few Of these experiments have been
well controlled, but many of the
studies indicated that BEG gives
some protection, he reported.
It Is not yet known how much
protection may result, or how long
it may last. But the vaccine is
absolutely safe and there has never
been a death due to the bacilli in
the vaccine, DR.. Levine said.
BCG's use in New York State is
being limited at present to nurses
and other workers in hospitals and
institutions where they are exposed
to tuberculosis, DR.. Hilleboe said.
1t will be two to five years before
its effectiveness can be measured.
Then it might be used later in
schools or congested areas where
there Is a high incidence of tuber-
culosiS.

Summing up results, DR.. H. Nc
Leod higgins, past president Of the
Trudeau Society, said streptomycin
is a "long step in the right direc-
ton" toward the goal Of finding an
effective drug. But he emphasized
that streptomycin is not q cure.
In tuberculosis Of the lungs, the
most common type, streptomycin is
most useful in recent, acute cases,
and less in long-standing cases.
Used in Europe :.
Streptomycin is the first drug ever
to show any effect on tuberculosis
meningitis, which has been nearly
100 per cent fatal. The chemical
appears to halt the disease in about
20 per cent Of the cases, the expert
ence shows.
Streptomycin also heals rather
quickly most tuberculous fistulas, in
which the disease creates holes or
canals from the skin into the lymph
nodes or other portions of the body.
It appears to be real help in most
cases of tuberculosis of the skin and
intestines and it may be an aid in
treating tuberculosis of the bone, DR..
higgins said.
On the preventive side is the vac
cine BOG. BEG means Bacillus
Calmette Guerin, named for two
French scientists who, IS years ago,
developed a nonvirulent strain Of
germs from tuberculosis in cows.
New York State started a limited
program of BEG vaccinations this
year and apparently is the first
State to produce the vaccine in its
own laboratory. said DR.. Herman E.
Hilleboe, State health commissioner.
It's use was decided upon after a
survey by the health department
and the State Medical Society, with
DR.. Milton I. Levine of New York
heading the society's Special Ad-
visory Committee.
About 100000 persons, mostly in
Europe, have been vaccinated so
far and there have been several
studies in this country, involving
about 5000 persons in New York,
Chicago, Tennessee, Alaska and In
dians in Arizona, wyoming and the

Children have gained now from
the antituberculosis movement,
which is supported to great degree
by sale Of Christmas seals. A quar-
ter Of q century ago, tuberculosis
killed 1892 children under IS years
OF age, Mr.. Drolet said, and in ls43
it killed 2,ll9.
Figures on deaths alone do not
tell the full story. Tuberculosis often
hits during the most productive
years. The average American life
expectancy now is better than IS
years. But the median age of tuber-
culosis deaths is 43 years. rob-
berry OF % years Of expected life,
according to a study by Mary
Dempsey, statistician of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association. The
median age at death from heart dis
eases is SO years, that from cancer
81 years.
More than 100000 persons get
tuberculosis annually, and it is esti-
mated that there are 250,000 with
active tuberculosis, Mr.. Drolet said.

to halt the spread of the disease,
and earlier detection through such
methods as the x-ray service of

public health service.
Streptomycin, q chemical OBJ

was difficult to tell just when q
hippopotamus was friendly.
But Mr.. Donaldson's associates in
the post of1ee insist that he is q
friendly soul, who takes to heart
the interests of the 4s5, 900 men in
his department.
Mr.. Donaldson said he would have
nothing to say about his plans in
the new job until after he has con-
suited with Mr.. Hannegan. AS he
spoke he puffed steadily on a Gig
arctic through a long holder. On
his desk were three packages of q
denicotinized variety Of the weed.
A Morale Booster
He said he had known President
Truman more or less casually for
about 80 years, but did not have
anything approaching an intimate
acquaintance with him until after
Mr.. Truman came to Washington
as q Senator.
For many years Mr.. Donaldson
has been the leading spokesman for
the Post Office Department on Cap
itol Hill. He is held in high regard
by Congressman OF both parties.
The appointment is viewed not
only as a morale booster for career
men in public service, but as adding
to the Truman cabinet still another
who achieved prominence through
experience in Government rather
than in business or partisan politics.
Until the Donaldson appointment
possibly the highest recognition
given the service or career men In
Government was the selection of
Daniel w. Bell as Undersecretary
OF the Treasury or Elmer Trey as Co.
ordinator Of all Treasury investiga-
ton agencies.
Among those in the Truman
cabinet who might be regarded as
career men In public service are
Secretary Of State Marshall, Seere-
tary Of the Treasury Snyder, Sec
retary Of National Defense For
restal, Attorney General Clark, Sec
retary of Commerce Hartman and
Secretary Of the Interior Krug.
Mr.. Donaldson was born OF, q
farm near Shelbyville. At II he
was a teacher in rural schools near
there. The school terms were only
five or six months of the year and
the other months he studied at
normal school and helped his father
in the Hanson Post Once.
1t became, in the course OF events
his "sad duty" to abolish the Post
Once at Hanson, where he began
his postal career. That happened

erals ONCE Of the war Department
But after year he was back in the

soon thereafter he became superin-
tendent Of mails at Muskogee, Okla
In 1915 he was appointed post
office inspector at Kansas City
where he remained until 1882. 1t
was during his stay in Kansas City
that he first became acquainted with
President Truman, then county

there, too, he had q part in investi-
CATION Of the st. Louis mail robbery
in the mid-1o2os which sent the late

tanooga division with supervision
over postal inspection in Tennessee
Alabama and Mississippi. A year
later he was called to Washington
as Deputy Assistant Postmaster Cen

Deputy First Assistant. In 1874;
he was named chief inspector, and

Never Active Politically
He has son following his foot
steps in the department, Jesse M

spector in charge at the Chicago
office. A daughter, married to q
Washington lawyer, lives in nearby
Virginia.
Mr.. Donaldson says he has been
too busy to pursue any hobbies.
Asked about his politics, he said
he could answer in four words: 81
am a Democrat" He has never beer

Mr.. Donaldson does not regard
himself as a philatelist, but an ac-

which led to reaching reforms
through new Federal laws. Despite
the enormous influence Of large en-
ployers Of labor, congressional in
vestigations paved the way to the
enactment of laws to uphold the
right of workers to organize for
the protection and advancement of
their interests. Recently, despite
the powerful opposition of widely
organized labor, congressional in
vestigations paved the way to
correcting many of the inequalities
in legal rights and privileges which
had given to labor unions nonop-
olies and coercive powers injurious
to the general welfare.
No Iron Curtain Here
1t is recognized today that the
great worldwide political economic
struggle is being waged between the
advocates of an authoritarian sys-
tenn, with a controlled economy
and enslaved labor, and the up
holders of a free industrial and
political system. AS to the success
of the latter, the United States is
the outstanding example and the
fortress of individual liberty. And
50, above all things, we need today
to have the guiding light Of pub
licity shine upon the leaders and
programs OF communism just as
1t shines all the time upon the
leaders and the workings Of our
democracy.
II We cannot lift the iron curtain
abroad, at least we can insist that
no iron curtain shall be main
tanned in the United States, behind
which the destroyers Of liberty can
operate in a legally protected
secrecy.
The defense against communism
should not be made by projects for
the suppression Of free speech, or
a free press, or the free organiza-
ton of those who wish to espouse
and advance the creeds of COM
munism. The best defense would
be a demand enforced by law that
communists and their followers
come out in the open. identity
themselves, and honestly endeavor
to convince others that they can
give guidance toward a better way
Of life. If we undertook to suppress
all comnaunistic organization and
publicity, we would provide the
Communists with a justification for
secretive, fraudulent activities,
which are now indefensible:
Communists Strategy
OF course, the Communists know
that their program and its meth
ods and its directing personalities
cannot stand the light of day. They
are seeking, not only to promote a
revolution by the force Of a we'll
organized, treacherous minority, but
also to establish tyrannical inter-
nationalism which would destroy
our institutions Of self-government
ana subject our people to foreign
rule. This project is not merely the
aggression by q foreign nation, but
the aggressive action of people at
home and abroad whose thinking
and whose purposes are so alien to
the spirit and promise Of American
life that they cannot, by any peace
full persuasion, convince the Ameri-
can people that they should en-
brace this alien way of living and
deny themselves the individual am
bitions, rewards and liberty that
are the very heart Of what We call
Americanism
It is not necessary to indorse or
approve all the activities OF the
present or preceding House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities.
But, the issue raised by the refusal
Of witnesses to testify truthfully and
