By G. A. +. Macbeth

Why not be the first one In your
crowd to have the newest thing in
costume jewelry? This jewelry is
50 easy to make, and Is so fragrant
and dainty that once you are wear
ing set, you will be eager to make
others, perhaps 4 set for each Of
your costumes.
You can make these beads very
quickly: get to work on them one
evening and you can wear the
jewelry next day. The materials
needed are: A roll of white crepe
paper Sufficient for several sets, a
short length OF thin wire, two table
spoonfuls of laundry starch, water
color paints. perfume. yard of
ribbon, preferably narrow black
velvet.
First make the laundry starch

handle, cut about three inches from
the whole roll Of paper and shred

shreds to the starch, a little at
time. Mix the starch and paper well
together until you have a firm pulp,
Which you can easily work with
your fingers. The better you mix,
the finer the texture of your finished
beads.
Cut the fine wire into pieces, each
hree-ouarters of an inch long.
Bend these pieces to make loops,
drawing the cut ends close together.
Now add the perfume to the starch
mixture and mix in well.
To make the flowers, take a little
of the pulp and mold it into the
shape of the flower center. Press
this over the open ends of the wire
loop. Shape the petals and press
around the center. Be sure that you
leave the loop clear at the back.
Set aside the flowers, petals up, to
harden. You can make a few leaves
and bud or two in the same way.

Posture Is Important
Prize Contribution
By Borboro Potter, IS
Anoeosfio High School

Have you ever stopped to notice
your friends and classmates? I
don't mean your girl friends cute
clothes or your boy friends blue
eyes and blond wavy hair; 1 mean
their posture. Posture plays one Of
the most. important parts in your
life and every one should strive to
make it good. know I am far from
being a good example, but do try
to attain correct posture.
There are many ways to develop
good posture. One of the best for
school children is carrying books
correctly. This is accomplished by
holding an equal number in each
arm, so as not to allow the shoulders
to cave in. Other important prac-
tees are sitting, standing and walk
ing erect.

cares house, and many others which
figured in the early history and ro-
nance Of Charleston.
Summertime demand for accom-
modations in cabins and tourist
lodges in Virginia's State parks has
for the past several years so far
exceeded facilities that a new meth
cd of allocating reservations has
been devised. This year reserva-
lions will be determined by draw
ings out of hat, and park officials
feel the plan will provide more
equitable distribution of limited
space. 81,
The plan to assign reservations by
lot was announced last week by
Randolph Odell, State parks direc-
tor, along with a higher scale of
rates and a one-week limit on cabin
occupancy. The previous maximum
was two weeks. The increase in
charges, still relatively modest, ex-
ceeds 20 per cent.
Under the rules announced by
Mr.. Odell, Virginia residents will
have first choice of accommodations
and dates. Applications from the
Nations Capital and other States
will not figure in the initial draw
ings, which will decide the cream
of the season reservations. Even
applications from Virginians will
not be accepted until March /.
Those received prior to that time
will be returned, according to Mr..
Odell.
For the first 10 days in March,
Virginia applications will be as
signed. After that, the lists will be
opened for all-comers. If reserVa-
lions follow the pattern of last year,
Washingtonians still will have a
chance for State park vacation.
The early assignment of space to

the period from late June through
August. But early and late dates
in the parks are expected to have
fewer demands. Roughly, a month
on each end of the State park sea-
son-from May II to September 81
will have dates open to non-Virgin-
ians. If these slack dates material
ize land they usually do, the one
week restriction might also be lifted
to provide stays of two or possibly
three weeks.
Examples of the higher rates are:
Cabins and guest lodges, $40 for
two persons for one week. instead of
SIS; three persons. 80 instead OF
$2l; overnight guest of cabin occu-
pants, $3.50 per night instead Of
SIPS.

Measure from the ribbon the
length you need for the necklace.
Starting from the middle, with your
largest flower, sew onto the ribbon
your flowers and leaves alternately,
putting the thread through the wire
loops at the back. Add the buds at
the ends. Sew on fastener.
Use the piece of ribbon you have
left over for a bracelet, following
the same directions as for the neck
lace, but using only three flowers
and two leaves.
Simple flowers, such as wild roses,
orange blossoms, daisies, violets or
gentians give the prettiest results.
If you like, you can mix some Of
these together and have Spring

costumes.

A veteran writes me from
Spokane, Wash, and asks this ques-
ton:
Can you tell me whether the fol-
lowing statement is fact or fiction?
"A veteran may not use his CT
bill loan privilege for remodeling
or improving his old property"
That statement is false. A vet
eran can use his CT loan "for the
purpose of making repairs, altera-
tons or improvements in property
owned by him and occupied as his
home" to quote from the CT bill.
Go to your building and loan as
ISOLATION, or your local bank, or to
any accredited lending agency and
take your honorable discharge.
Then convince the lender that you
are a good risk, and you have a
good chance of getting your loan,

anteed by the Government.
From Mrs. G. E. S., Argos, Ind:
my son is in the Regular Navy and
Is carrying the full $4,000 national
service life insurance. He wants to
convert part of this term insur-
ance to ordinary life insurance. Can
he do it even though he's still IN
the service?"
Yes, by all means. Term" in
surance may be converted to any Of
the permanent forms after it's been
held for one year.
From F. w. E., Lawrence, Mass:
MY Job demands that I have car
of my own. Could I get one with
a loan under the provisions of the
CT bill?"
You certainly are eligible to apply
for business loan for that purpose.
That kind of loan is allowed under
the CT bill, but I can't say for sure
whether you will find lender will
ing to make the loan.
From ]. T., Arlington, Iowa: II
have been discharged for more than
two years. Am I still eligible for
that 500 a month self-employment

Sure up until two years after July

charge given under conditions other
than dishonorable and provided you
are fully self-employed for profit.
You can draw the difference be-
tween your net monthly earnings
