NEW YORK, N. IA prediction
that within o decade virtually all
clothes vii be machine made was
made the other day by Herbert
Sondheim, leading member Of the
New York Dress Institutes Couture
Group.
He blames it on labor.
MIR. Sondheim said, in an exclu-
sive interview, that the dying labor
market is contributing to this.
There are not enough human
hands to get the work out" he an
nounced.
."If human being hasn't known
now what it is to wear a hand
stitched garment, then he will never
know the difference" he continued.
The reasons tor this situation are
many. One, as Mr.. Sondheim point
ed out, is the fact that not enough
young American people are going
into the factories.
IF we are to retain the style lead
ership garnered after years of strug-
gle, we will have to work at it," Mr..
Sondheim went on.
The American designer Is now
recognized the world over. This
started at the beginning Of the war.
It came about, Mr.. Sondheim stated,
due to two important reasons. One,
that the American garment industry
was made to stand on its own feet.
Two, that the same American Fash
ion Press, which in previous years
recognized only the Paris couture
for fashion leadership. accepted the
American created designs. This in
f1uenced the retailer, and, in turn,
the consumer.
In the past there had been too
much over emphasis Of other sources
Of influence. French model clothes,
for example. The Fashion Press
helped make us too much aware
that we had to follow Paris to q
degree. This made for bad Ameri-
can clothes in those two decades" J."
Mr.. Sondheim continued.
Thus, by following those dictates,
Mr.. Sondheim added, "we helped de-
stroy our own identity" This, in
spite Of the fact that 90qo of the
clothes manufactured during those
two decades were American in de-
sign, with perhaps an inspiration
from Paris. The same sort of in
spiration that was culled from mu-
seums, the theater, and the other
inspirational fountains from which

TO MAKE MONEY,


(Fron1 M. K, WdShington.)
To contribute to ideas for M. M,
Silver Spring, to make money, how
about bead stringing? Especially
pearl necklaces. The fashionable,
high-grade imitation pearls that
are widely worn and favored by
co-eds as well as business and career
women have to be restrung fire.
quently enough that guaranteed
job for several years duration is
worth 50, which I paid a reputable
downtown jeweler two years ago.
The necklace was only $6 make
and the addition for permanent
stringing made the cost very little
in initial outlay The thread used
was nylon, which is tough.
A neighborhood drugstore with
bulletin board could advertise the
service and the stringing outfit can
be purchased from such depart
ments as fancy work and art Sec
tions and at those button or en-
broidery shops on Eleventh street
near G. and H streets NV. Per-
haps the dime stores have the
threaders and cords now. There
are many commuters from Silver
Spring to office work in Washing
ton who don't have the time to
shop for these small items and
would greet the chance to turn over
their broken necklace to somebody
In their neighborhood who could do
an expert job, I'll betcha.
Hope this might work and that
your industry and ambition will be
substantially rewarded.

THANK YOU" NOTE,
CAKE QUERY?
NTrT PREAD

From Mrs. A. D. M, Washington.
I have read the RCH for several
years and want to take this op-
portunity to thank the many con-
tributors for many excellent recipes
which I have clipped and tried and
added to my special recipe file to
keep.
Recently have clipped two cake
recipes, both Of which I have tried.
I want to thank Mrs. w. L. B., Alex
andria, for her Devils Food Cake
recipe. 1t is the most delicious
Devils Food I have ever eaten and
my family all have the same opinion
of it. 1t keeps moist and light to
the last crumb and has q perfect
texture. The fudge frosting Is also
delicious, but it is very rich 80 we
have used the boiled white frosting
and like it even better on this cake.
I have also made the Orange
Angel Food" but as copied this
recipe and gave the clipping to a
friend haven't the initials Of the
one who sent it In. I would like
to ask her a question about it. She
did not specify the kind Of -four
should it be ordinary bread flour or
cake -four? I used the cake flour
as would for Angel Food and made
1t as I would regular Angel Food,
but when I removed the cake from
the oven and inverted 1t to cool in
the pan it gradually loosens from
the pan and falls out before it is
cold. My Angel Food never does
this. We are able to eat it though
it Is a little heavy, and think it is

Something new has been added!
An aluminium baby hamper designed
exclusively for the nursery. This
rustproof hamper is especially con-
structed without any crevices and
grooves, to avoid particles of dust.
1t will not bulge, sag, groan, crack
or creak, all important factors in
nursery furniture! It is beautifully
finished in oven-baked white enamel
with lovely hand-painted decora-
tions of bluebirds and flowers and
pink ribbons. The colors were
chosen to keep the hamper adapt
able to any color scheme in the
1ursery. 1t is perforated for attrac-
tiveness as well as ventilation. To
keep it clean just wipe with a damp
cloth.

itants of this town have been ex-

SHOWER CURTAINS;
SILVER FISH.
TOMATO SOUP CAKE.

All shower curtains should be
spread out and allowed to dry after
each use. This is particularly i'm
portant in the damp, summer
months, when untreated shower
curtains have tendency to mildew
There are today wide variety OF
shower curtains, and each requires
slightly different treatment. Be
certain you know exactly what type
of curtain you own before you wash
it. Always follow any washing in
structions furnished by the manu-
facturer.
Procedure: Oil silk and coated
fabric curtains. Place on fiat sur
face. Go over small section of
curtain with soft cloth wrung out
of solution of lukewarm water and
mild soapsuds. Rinse same area
with another cloth. Dry. Repeat
this process over entire curtain
Hang, spread out, until completely
dry. 1t is not recommended to iron
this type of curtain. However, if
it is unduly creased, cover with a
pressing cloth and press lightly with
q warm iron.
Chemically treated fabric cur
tains: Make a solution of lukewarm
water and mild soap suds. Lightly
dip curtains up and down, without
rubbing or squeezing. Rinse in
clear warm water, followed by cool
water rinse. Press while damp with
q warm iron. Hang up; spread out.
Rubber-coated curtains: Place on
fiat surface. Sponge lightly with
1ukewarm soap suds solution. Rinse.
Dry; spread out.
How to control silver fish: Silver
fish have become quite household
menace in many parts of the coun-
try Of recent years. They're found
in the lower floors of private houses
as well as apartment buildings,
often making their way up through
drain pipes. They feed on linens,
rayons, starched cottons and glazed
fabrics, such as wallpaper, book
bindings, etc. They hide in dark
closets and attack very swiftly.
Fortunately, a simple means of
trapping these wingless, silvery gray,
scaley creatures usually Il to u
inch in length) has been found,
which doesn't involve poisonous bait.
Procedure: Since silver fish are
very fond of wheat flour and will
readily fall for the smell of it,
scientists worked out a trap using
flour as the bait. Take any old cold
cream or ointment jars with smooth,
slippery interiors. Cover the out
side with adhesive paste to make a
rough surface, which the insect can
cling to (since they can neither fly
nor climb smooth wallis. Leave the
inner surface smooth, so that the
silver fish will be trapped, once in
At the bottom of each jar, place
a teaspoon of white -four. Place
these jars under beds, couches, in
backs Of closets and bureau drawers
any dark spots.
Silver fish are known to frequent
houses closed for the summer. A
few of these inexpensive traps placed
in strategic spots would eliminate
the danger of an infestation of silver
fish.
