DEFEATS BILL
Labor Issue, Only Bill Passed
By Girls In Legislature
On Saturday
~ GIRLS ATTENDED

The Ft. DUPONT Welfare Center
bill was defeated unanimously in
the Girls State Senate Saturday,
after being passed in the House
The mock bill, duplicate of one al
ready officially passed in the real
General Assembly, failed to i'm
press the girls who argued that if
the state were going to spend ST.
100000 on state welfare they
would do better to spend it on the
institutions the state already oper-
ates rather than on a new one. AL
SO defeated was a bill prohibiting
the issuance of an operators Ii
cense under the age of 18 years.
Passed by the Senate with an
amendment, but defeated in the
House, was the act making acci-
dent insurance mandatory after
the first accident. In amending
the bill the girls argued, why
after the first accident? Why not
before? Only bill passed of the
four taken up was the act pro-
tecting individuals in their rights
to join or refrain from joining
labor unions. Sponsored by the
American Legion Auxiliary, De-
partment of Delaware, the Girls
State is held annually by senior
high school girls selected in COM
petition from Delaware schools.
Purpose of the mock legislature is
to train girls to recognize their

sunsuits from them, as the back

to it and the garment cut.
In fact, while you are cutting one
garment, why not cut several and
then sew as you have the time? The
sewing is not too much of a task, as
all the seams are simple. On little
boys suits most seams will be
plain, except those around the legs
which are best if a fiat fell or
French seam is employed.
Little girls sun dresses are very
simple to make, as they are usually
one piece garments that may be
pinked while being cut and then all
plain seams employed when sewing
together.

It's easy to find material for

old blouses, Dads shirts or even
other aprons, and these are amaz-
ingly easy to make. Bits of lace,
ric rae or other trimming may
be found to give both pinafore and
blouse bit of detail interest.
You may find it advisable to cut
several blouses out at one time and
sew them at your convenience. If
trimming, fabric and buttons are
different, the blouses will not look
as though they came from the same
pattern, and you can save time cut
ting several of them at once while
you have your material handy-and
your equipment all laid out for
cutting.
It's wise to stick with cottons or
washable rayons for garments of
this type, as you will want some
thing that washes and irons easily.
Next to being worn, they will be in
the wash tub and under the iron
most of the time.

Adults Old Clothes Will Make
Garments for Growing Children
by G'tta Haley

MOTHERS with several growing
A'A children often become very
discouraged with the clothing prob
lem because the children seem to
spring out of everything so swiftly.
It's true that rapid growth may
take place within a few months, and
sleeves and skirts that were long
enough a short time ago now look
awkward.
The best way to keep the clothing
budget within bounds is to remodel
and use every scrap of material
available. It's perfectly amazing
what ingenuity can do with the old
shirt, the remnant or the old bed
spread or apron.
Before we discuss the making Of
new garments from old, let's see
what can be done with altering gar
ments that the youngsters have out
grown.
Little girls dresses may be al
tered very nicely for a season, at
least, with inserted skirt bands or
waist panels, depending upon which
way the youngster has grown.
For insert panels in the skirt,
either for width or length, or both,
select something which goes with
the material of the dress. Some
times your best choice is a plain
broadcloth material such as is
found in shirt; and at other times
your best choice is a print or even
a plaid, if the material is solid. This
type of remodeling does not require
making over the entire garment,
but the inserts should be fitted in
carefully enough to maintain neat
look.
If the remodeling does not require
an extensive addition of material,
you might use some wide bands of
trimming material that often can
be purchased by the yard.
Make Pinafores from
Old Aprons
Any mother who has little girl
undoubtedly has learned the value
of having several pinafores and
changes of blouses for her. Aprons
frequently can be used for making
the pinafore itself as long as the
material still will give some good,

treasure he dropped the piece he
was carrying, but caught large

can press the garment easily.
Make Underwear, too,
From Other Clothing
If it seems difficult to keep the
children in underwear, it's easy to
keep them outfitted with remodeled
clothes. Mothers slip and even
Dads shirts offer a wealth of ma
terial for little girls and boys un-
dergarments.
Slips and panties for the girl are
easy to make from cast-off cottons
and rayons, and the sewing of them
is very simple. Use French seams
for durability.
Good quality broadcloth or per-
Gale or even muslin from shirts is
ideal for boys or girls panties. Sew
eral of these may be cut at one
time, provided you have a good,
Well-fitting pattern, and in most
cases, there need be no preliminary
ripping apart of the garment at the
seams to get at the wealth of ma
terial.
Adults slack suits that have
shrunk beyond use or wear are very
practical for making coveralls and
play clothing for roughing it. In
most cases you will find this mate
rial easy to cut and sew.
If the old fabric seems faded, as
in the case of many slack suits,
simple dyeing will do the trick.
Either dyeing darker shade or re-
dyeing the same color will give
good results, and in many cases
will give an almost brand new look
ing fabric.
