Curtains May Be Transformed
Into Cay Assets for Windows
by &,Aa Haley

REATHES there a woman who
- doesn't, at one time or another,
take a look at the tired curtains In
room and sigh to herself that she
wishes something could be done
about them?
There's no reason for putting up
with weary windows If your remod-
cling bag is bullying with gay pieces
Of material or while the remnant
counters flaunt their bright pieces Of
fabric at you. A few time-tried
decorators tricks, a brief session at
the sewing machine plus the max
ings for the curtains can give you a
new look for those windows and add
cheer to the whole house.
Throw out the old curtains2 No
indeed, unless they're simply worn
beyond repair! But If they're short
and shrunken from laundering, add
a ruff1e or a false hem made from
a yard or two of contrasting color
pattern. If they're faded, perhaps a
bit Of dye or tint will do the trick,
or perhaps you can remove the old
color entirely with color remover
and then sew sprightly tiebacks and
add bit of color around the edges
for trim.
Then, too, you may have old cur
tains-too large or too smaIl-from
another place in which you lived.
Bring these out, too, and chances
are in your favor that something
can be done to make them useful
again. There are all sorts of ideas
buzzing about that will make cur
tain sewing a pleasure rather than
a chore, and the sewing is easy be-
cause most of it's plain stitching.
Use Sash Type or
Picture Frame for Kitchen
If your cast-off curtains are too
large for the windows you now
have, then the sash or "hourglass"
type is the perfect solution to your

Prismatic Street LIGHT

Use of prismatic glassware in
street lights marks the latest stage
Of development in lighting control.
Because of the many prisms which
comprise the glass globe, light
from the new fixture emanates in
two broad, principal beams up and
down the street or highway in
sufficient width to insure uniform
light distribution. The develop
ment engineers claim the new lamp
will produce 40 more foot-candles
Of light on the pavement, thus
providing greater safety and con-
venience to motorists and pedes-
trains.

Pepper in Reverse

Although Sen. Claude Pepper of
Florida maintains that he has not
done an about-face in his belated
support of the Marshall plan, there
is considerable talk here that criti-
cism of him by Florida newspapers
may have been one reason why the
senator changed his mind.
It will be remembered that last
August Senator Pepper condemned
the entire range of President Tru-
mans foreign. policy, particularly
the Marshall plan, as loaded with
:'insupportable conditions" aligning
western Europe alongside the U. S.
in opposition to Russia. Now he says
he will go along, adding that the
plan has no evidence of political
strings he had feared would be
attached.

Mules Replacing Oxen

Many Mexican farmers who have
been working oxen are rapidly re-
placing such work stock with
mules. Reasons for this are that it
has been necessary to destroy oxen
because of the dreaded foot-and-
mouth disease. Mules are not sus-
ceptible to this malady. Thousands
of oxen have been destroyed
through official assistance. It is
estimated that there will be a need
for about $4,000 mules to take the
place of oxen destroyed because of
the disease. Mules of the cotton
type, about IA to is hands high,
are considered most suitable for the
purpose.

frame around the window. This is
called a picture frame treatment.
The picture frame type can also
be used alone on many types of win
dows and will use only a bit of
fabric. You can probably find
enough Of this at a remnant counter
to cover several windows in one
room, and it can be of the most in
expensive cotton.
Sewing is easy, too, on both of
these types as they need only hem

problem. You can work some SIM
pie salvage magic by cutting them
down to fit your windows. You may
also use large-sized curtains that
have worn or shrunk.
Cut the old curtains to fit the win
dows to cover, and plan to have
them run through rods at the top
and bottom of the window. You can
add color by drawing and gathering
them tight at the middle of the
window and tying with a bow to
match the rest of the kitchen color
scheme.
If you like bit more frin and
fancy work at the window, it will
take only a minimum of fabric to
make ruffled border-of the same
fabric as the bow-to run as a

New Type Textiles

Fine quality worsteds now can be
produced at the speed of ordinary
cotton by a new textile process.
The new process permits mass pro-
duction of the finest worsted fab
RIGS at lower prices. The method
also can be applied to cotton, silk,
rayon, nylon, rabbit hair and all
other fibers. Certain dyes which
previously faded when exposed to
atmospheric gas fumes are given
better fastness by this new chem
ical process. Applied during the
dysing operation, it is claimed that

Schools Beset by Ills
IN WASHINGTON


IN SETTING out the school
i prospectus for the 1947-48
school year the National Edu-
cation association points out
that although the teacher short
age has been somewhat abated,
there still are many ills which
beset our public school system.
''The great need now" says the
associations brochure, els to en-
courage some of our ablest young
people to enter the teaching profess

sion. For if education is vital con-
Germ of a free nation, it must be in
the hands of thoroughly able, well
prepared, well paid, emotionally
balanced teachers"
Salaries in most states have
been raised during the past two
years to a minimum of $4,000
for qualified teachers, but there
still is a distinct shortage Of ele-
mentary teachers in rural areas
and grave shortage of quail
ity teachers"
Another vital question is that Of
rehabilitation Of the school plant,
long neglected during the war
years. It likely will take from six to
eight billion dollars in the next dec
ade to bring repairs and replace
ments up-to-date. People will have
to decide whether to build roads or
schools. NEA points out that roads
can wait but children's minds can't
wait.
A Detroit writer put the blame for
the sorry condition of the school
system directly upon the parents.
This writer said:
"Don't sit around with other
parents discussing the disgrace
full educational results that
we're getting from our schools
unless you have done something
about it. Have you ever met
any of your kids teachers?
When parents give whOop.
education will come into its
own" And there's more truth
than fiction in that.

eminent in peacetime. From radio,

While this peacetime appeal may
lack the patriotic appeal of war

attachment on the sewing machine.
The local sewing center will gladly
give you details on its use.
Tieback Curtains Suitable
For Any of the Rooms
When considering styles for indi-
vidual windows, you'll find tieback
curtains ideal for practically every
room in the house. Old curtain
panels can easily be converted into
something gay and new looking with
contrasting colored ruffles around
the inside edges and across the bot
tom. This technique will also give
you extra length and width, if that
is necessary.
If you've decided that the living
or dining room, or bedroom or
breakfast nook is just a bit too
dark and cherries for the winter
months, then plan to use plenty of
white or gay colored material. In
troduce this by way of ruff1ing or
valances, and try to have a rather
sheer window curtain when possible
so you can catch what bit of SUM-
light there is available.
Afraid of making ruff1es? The ruff
f1er time saving attachment to use
on the sewing machine is now
available and the sewing experts at
the local sewing center will show
you how easily it converts straight
strips of fabric into rows of frilly
trimming.
Swag curtain and valance make
dining room alcove combination and
you can use the same combination
in the kitchen. Salvaged fabric can
be used for the sash curtain. If
extra length is needed decorate it
with false hem made of straight
strip of the contrasting fabric. The
contrasting fabric can be carried
out further for a smart effect by
using it for either a ruffle or swag
type valance.
Using Curtains

Sheer bedroom or living room
curtains may be salvaged if they
are cut down for further service in
the kitchen or the breakfast room.

tains show signs of wear in the GEN.
ter if you use the "hourglass" treat
ment, since the "drawn-to-the-cen-
ter" device hides the worn spots.
If you are not too proud of your
windows, curtains can hide their
defects, too, if they are attractive
enough. Criss-cross them to cover a
double window and then join them
into one. unit with valance that
extends across both windows. The
valance gives extra length since the
curtains can be hung from just I'M
derneath the bottom edge of the.
valance.
The criss-cross treatment will
help give your room more spacious
measurements and enable it to look
more luxurious. If you want to add
length on one wall, for example, use
the valance treatment on double
windows as this will give length to.
the proportions Of the room.
If you want to make a room look
smaller use large, busy looking
prints or large designs for the fab
ric you use as valance or picture
frame. Plaids are good for this pur-
pose, and enable you to add lot of
; color to an otherwise drab room.
You don't have to give up the light,
sheer touch altogether, either, for
plaids, prints and other fabrics may
be easily combined with sheer cur
tain material.
