ample, you have looked over your
summer castoffs and decided they
will never be white again, dip them
into the dye bath with the dress,
and you will have pair to match
the dress. You may, of course, add
cuffs to the gloves or sew a bit of
grosgrain ribbon trim to them for
popping up purposes.
Let Material, Style
Harmonic
The mistake often made in re-
modelling is that the style to which
we change dress is not always in
keeping with the material. If you
have a simple rayon or broadcloth,
don't seek the fussy styles because
these fabrics as well as many 9TH
ers require simple pattern.
Change the style, but keep the
good points of the dress and make
the change subtle. Some dresses,
for instance need only a sleeve and
neck change. In this case rip out
the old sleeves, and you probably
will have enough material for a new
style.
I recently saw this carried out in
a dress that had short straight
sleeves. They were removed and
pressed fiat, then a wide bias strip
was cut from each sleeve. Then new
style cap sleeves were cut from the
material and attached.
Always remember that if new
material is added to the dress it
should be used in at least two places
so that it looks as though it be-
longed. If you have to add some of
the new material to the neck, you
also might like an insert in the
hem, or perhaps a bow or hustle
effect, repeating the added mate
rial. There are literally dozens of
ways to do this. and the best way to
decide what should be done is to
pattern your remodeling after the
new styles.
Combine Shirts, Blouses
For Current Styles
Shirts and blouses are among the
easiest of garments to remodel, and
they are extremely practical be-
cause of the number of suits in
which women invest their money.
In many cases it is even possible to
combine the good and wearable
features of two to make one good
blouse.
If you have sequins or other trim
on one blouse, perhaps there is an
other one in the wardrobe which
would benefit by the addition of it,
especially if the first one is too
worn to mend.
Another trick which will add an
other article of wearing apparel to
the wardrobe is that of making a
blouse into dickey. This can be
done very easily. if the blouse has
vest effect, or if it is highly
trimmed with inserts, etc.
Mems shirts that are worn at COL
lars and cuffs are very readily
made into new blouses whose origi-
nal use you would never suspect. If
you feel that the. color should be
changed, they are easily dyed no
matter what the fabric, as long as
you use a good all purpose dye that
will color rayon as well as cotton or
combinations of the two fabrics.
It's very important, when using
shirt fabrics, to select a style suit
able to the fabric. Only the simplest,
plainest patterns are usually good
with regular shirt material, except
when white fabric is dyed into q
good solid color.

made of contrasting colors. You
may want to add additional interest
by way of an attractive belt or but
tons down the front.
Use Leftover Trimming
In Remodeling
Many mending and sewing kits
contain any number of bits of at
tractive laces and trim that could
easily be used in remodeling work.
Let's say that you are dyeing a
graduation or another similar type
of garment. Use a dark green or
brown shade for this fall, or even
black, but tighten it up and make it
dressy by using bit of eyelet trim
ming at the neck and sleeves.
The very simplest type of dress is
used for this style. The dress may

HlNT NEW STAY 0F CLAIM WORK
 WITHIN ALASKA
Inferior Dept. May Exclude Territory in Fighi-
 ing Extension

WASHINGTON, March 7-R- The Interior Department was on record today as opposing any furth- CT suspension of annual assess ment work required on mining claims.
 During the war, regulations re- quiring owners of mpatented claims to do s10o worth of work on the claims each year were held in abeyance
 However a report hy Assistant Secretary of Interior Oscar L. Chapman, to the House Public Lands committee. said the Depart ment feels that continuation of the moratorium would be detrimen- tai to the public interest
 Legislation which would exempt the mine owners from assessment work until July l, l948, came up yesterday before the Public Lands subcommittee on mines and min ing, but was laid ever largely be- cause of the Departments ob- lection
 May OK For Alaska
 1oel Wolfsohn, assistant Director f the Departments Bureau Of land Management, indicated that while the Department objects to further suspension of the assess ment work in the United States, it may approve another morator- inn for Alaskan miners.
 Rep Jackson (D-Wash), and @ole~ate Bartlett D-Alaska), the sponsors Of the new legislation, told Wolfsohn and the subcommit- tee that labor and weather condi- ticr5 make it almost imperative that Territorial miners be granted another breathing spell
 Because of the long northern winters, the miners there would have only a few months this sum mer in which to do the assess men6 work, Jackson said. Furth- crmore, he added, virtually all la- bor in Alaska is now being en- ployed on defense projects and would not be available to mine owners.
 Alaska Situation Unusual
 Said Bartlett
 Tt will te long time before Alaska gold mining is back to normal
 Wolfsohn said he believed the Alaska situation is unusual and that while he could make no premises. he felt the Secretary of of the Interior will be inclined to 90 along with you"
 Jackson and Bartlett were then instructed by Rep. Lemke. tR-ND) chairman of the subcommittee, to confer further with Interior off cials and determine if ther bills should be written to apply to the Territory alone, and net the con- tinsntaI United States.

Local workmen in all crafts were em- ployed.
 One of the most impressive in ovauons employed in the decora- tive. scheme is the use of large wall panels of a heavy damask material. Besides adding greatly to the beauty Of the theatre, this material serves to improve the eound in the picture by absorb ing excess sound and preventing echo.

Sandy Spring Store
Sold 70 Local Men

News Of momentous interest to
The Sandy Spring community is the
sale Of the sandy Spring Store by
Mrs Herbsrt H. Adams to D.
GLAND Hawkins and Robert w.
Kemp. Mr.. Kemp has been associ-
ated with the Sandy Spring Store
for many years. Mr.. Hawkins is
the brother of Francis Hawkins,
owner of the District Grocery Store
at Olney, and is well known to the
community, having been in charge
of the meat department at the d.
G. S. since 1896. The new owners
will take possession Immediately,
and there will be no interruption in
the usual business.
The late Herbert H. Adams
bought the original store from
Samuel B. Wetherald in 1921, and
by his own personal efforts devel-
oped it from a country store into
the modern up-to-date building Of
today. Mr.. Hawkins and Mr.. Kemp
are enthusiastically planning fur
ther improvements.
