Hostess aprons are nice gifts -.
sell for less than half dollar each
so you see the apron can be made
for little money.
Three handkerchiefs make a good
sized apron. Use a whole one for
the front of the apron. Cut the Sec
ond one in half crosswise, and gather
the two pieces into ruffle across
the bottom. If you want narrower
ruffle than this makes, trim off the
desired amount before gathering.
Now cut the third handkerchief
diagonally across the two triangles
to make side flanges on the apron.
Attach cut edge to the center of
apron, beginning at the bottom cor
ner of ruffle. This bias cut will ex-
tend a little above the top edge of
the apron Lap this extension back;
lay pleat in flange; fold under CEN
ter section and tack in place.
Finish the apron with two-tone
grosgrain ribbon ties. Three yards
of each color will be sufficient to
carry around the waist and back, to
tie in a flowing bow at the side of
the front, with enough left over for
a pert bow to fasten at the top of
the ruffle.
There are just three seams to sew
since the hemming is all done and

the large round buttonholes at the
top so that they can be attached to
hooks. The usual size of the bath
room shower curtain is six feet
square.
Bathroom curtains may be either
regular window size or smaller de-
pending upon the size of the win
dow. It's best to take measurements
on this if you can so that the cur
tains will fit properly.
A beautiful dressing table skirt
also may be made from these plas-
tics, with ruffle at the top as well
as at the bottom. Most of these
skirts are regulation size, and the
skirt usually does not come together
at the back. This is left to be ad-
justed according to size of the table.
Some of the printed plastics also
may be scanned to be used as picnic
or kitchen tablecloths. Some women
use the white ones for placing over
the top of their regular cloth to
save it. No matter to what use you
put the plastic, be it tablecloth,
curtain or dressing table skirt, you
may be certain of its easy clean
ability. A damp cloth wiping makes
it fresh and new.

Women Take Over

LAS VEGAS, NEW Out here in
the West, where men are men,
women are beginning to move in
and take over, despite a three-to-
one preponderance of males in some
places.
Both the city and county clerks
in this county seat are women, as
are the court reporters for the two
municipal judges. Two members
of the fairer sex recently passed
the Nevada bar examination and
have hung out their shingles in Las
Vegas.

at home to protect and advise Get
yourself job.
There are fine shops in your town.
1t is growing fast and there will be
other shops. Go in first as sales
woman. Make yourself the best of
the salesWomen. Long before he
thought l ever would be a sales
woman, which I was for while in
my Goth year, my father gave me
some advice about office jobs. He
said not to try to be the smartest,
but to be the all-around best; al
ways clean and fresh; always on
time; always willing to do little
extra work to help someone; al
ways interested: always scrupulous-
ly polite; always careful to make
notes, write things down, remem-
Der messages.
Acquire Reputation.
Anyone can do these things.
There is no secret about them. They
mean that when the higher-up
comes in to ask for your best wom-
an" you are that woman. 1t means
that when the superintendent looks
over the field to find someone to
take her place, she picks you.
There will be women more
clever, better dressed, younger,
but they'll have their faults
desk disorder, hardness, AFRO
gance, unfriendliness, giggling,
absorption in their own affairs.
The quieter woman, who is new
er conspicuous, never disagree
able. never mountaineering ev-
eryOne by lateness or eagerness
to get away, always wins in the
end.
With Rats pension and your sal
airy, financial affairs will improve
at home. Jean Marie will have
wholesome responsibility. She, in
stead of you, will be blamed for
unanswered telephones or unopened
grocery parcels. Her fathers infu-
ence is bound to be good. 1t will
develop her, and your freedom
from that too-pressing home at
mosphere will do you good.
You don't need a woman. Those
two can manage perfectly well. In
time, your improving salary will
enable you to find nicer quarters
and perhaps to borrow for a visit
to the little son you betrayed. Wom-

Towels Are Always
A Welcome Present

Have you noticed how frequently
you can pick up pieces of gay kitch-
en- toweling at real saving? Pick
some up, put two hens in the yard
long towels either by hand or ma
chine and give them in sets Of two
to six to any homemaker or bride.
Towels are real necessity and peo-
pie always welcome them.
Small pieces of broadcloth and
percale, linen or poplin are nice to
use for hand towels. These may be
trimmed with embroidery after you
have used a transfer pattern as
your guide; they may be initiated or
monogrammed. If you don't have
the time for fancy work, hem them
by hand and box them nicely for
gifts.
Turkish toweling also may be pur-
chased by the yard to make those
large luxurious towels that are a
wonderful gift. You may hem these,
then monogram or applique trim
them as you see fit.
For families who like swimming
and camping, there is nothing nicer
than a set of diversified Turkish
towels that can be used on the
beach or picnics for lounging, for
sunbathing as well as for drying.
Turkish toweling also finds good
use in drawstring beach bags which
are so practical for carrying equip
ment to the beach or picnics. Pick
some gaily striped material for this
purpose.

BY KATHLEEN NORRIS

@ORINE JAMES has made
a wreck of her life. She
- wants to run away, get
out of it all, find a new setup
somewhere and try all over
again.
Well, we all feel that way some
times. We feel that we could solve
any other problems except the ones
that our own selfishness or stupidity
have brought upon us.
Dorine married ten years ago at
%. She has one son, 7 years old.
Here is her story in her own words:
"My boy, Teddy, was always del
icate, and as I had good job I
left him much of the time with
Hugh's mother. She has him now.
In January, 1913, Hugh and I were
divorced on grounds of mental cruel
ty. I think now I was haSty, but
had met Raft, a major in the air
service, and we were deeply in love.
Temporarily, we thought, Hugh's
mother could keep my son.
"Raff, also divorced, has
daughter, now IA. Just before
the war ended he was injured in
a trial flight, SO that he has lost
hand and suffers also from an
eye injury. His professional life
as an orthodonist is, of course,
over. He has a generous pen
sion, but to stretch it for the
needs of three persons means
anxious work and care, and !
am worn down with it.
81 never have been able to have
my own boy, Teddy, with us, be-
cause we live in hot, cheap, five
room cottage and both his father
and grandmother are in position
to give him every advantage, while
1 have nothing to offer. do my
worrying and working for another
woman's child.
Step-Daughter Is Unbearable.
"All this" the letter continues,
II could bear. But it is my step
daughter who provides a complete
ly unbearable difficulty. She is at
bad age-eXacting, critical, scorn-
full. Her father, Raft, is patience
itself, trying hard to help in any
and every way He pities Jean Ma
RE. If she would be civil and CO.
operative, l would pity her too, for
her letters to her mother. asking
to be taken away, remain unan-
swered; and I know her heart and
her pride are deeply cut.
"Those first months of our ro-
nance, when Raft was an air major
and we lived in big quarters and
had car, pleasant associates and
the eternal excitement of war, seem
like dream to me now" the letter
ends, "as l drudge on washing dish
towels, take fat to the butcher, dust
the books and make jelly dessert
for our supper. I know 1 did it my
self, and perhaps I did wrong. But
is it fair that Hugh, my first hus-
band, should be prospecting, hap
PLY married, the father of baby
girls, and l Shaving away in this
apparently hopeless rut? And not
even succeeding at that, for Jean
Marie is discontinued, disobedient
and unhappy, and that upsets the
whole atmosphere of the cottage.
Can you think of a way out?"
My dear Dorine, l say in reply,
you are not the only woman who
has jumped from one obligation
lightheartedly into another, not
realizing that your only hope of
stability, self-respect and peace of
soul lay in sticking to your first
promise. 1t is indeed wretched
situation in which you find your
self, but | think there is way out

enough to be her fathers house

Many Attractive Gift Items
Can Be Produced at Home
By Ertta Haley

FVEN though the holidays have
not arrived, many of us find
that there are gifts of all types that
have to be given throughout the
year. If we had to buy all these
things, it would run our budgets
beyond their limits.
If we sew, and many of these nice
gifts really need little sewing skill,
shower gifts, wedding presents or
dread and butter presents" gifts
for convalescents and many other
membranes can be made with
very little expense.
It's good idea to keep some of
these on hand for just such occa-
sions. Sew on them in your odd mo-
ments, and you always will have
something ready as a present when
the occasion arises.
In some communities, it's nice to
give new neighbors something in the
nature of house warming present
when they move in For such &C.
casions, bathroom shower and cur
tain sets are lovely, and so are such
small household items as pot hold
ers. set of guest or kitchen towels,
or dolies.
For new homcmakers, any one of
the above mentioned items is well
come. but you can add to the list
hostess aprons, small tablecloth sets
or kitchen curtains.
For the convalescent, there are
handkerchiefs, scarfs or household
items. Little girls would enjoy hair
bows or clothes for their dolls.
Make Hostess Apron
From Handkerchiefs
Clever little hostess aprons that
will delight any homemaker can be
made beautifully and economically
from Irish linen handkerchiefs, the
kind that has double and triple rows
of spoking just inside the narrow
hens. These handkerchiefs usually

Hoover Gives Streamlining Plans For Government
Continued from Page One)

He predicted the final recom- mendations, if adopted after being presented to Congress in January, will save "a good many million dollars" when placed in operation for "say five years"
 The commission has reached tentative but unanimous conclu- sions on three of its 24 fields of study, Hoover said. He named them as:
 1. Creation of a service" agen- cy to be a Presidential staff. It would embrace the budget-mak- ing activities, supply procurement, accounting and other functions now performed by various agen- cies which provide services for the rest of the government.
 2. Organize a career service to cut the tremendous turnover" of civil servants. Pay increases for employees above the $5, 5,000-a-year level should be granted. The civil service commission should be stripped of its labor-recruiting function, and this task should be handed back to the various agen- cieS.
 3. Re-organize the postoffice de- partment to cut its deficit by per haps S2OO,OOO,OOO to $3O0,OO0,0OO a year. This would involve setting it up as revolving fund" agency -one which sells a product and usese the money to meet its ex- penses-instead of an agency wholly dependent on appropria- tions 'even for the purchase of bicycles"

New SOS From Modern NOah's Ark

ALAMEDA, Calf. (P)-An sos, strictly from hunger, fetched giant Mars flying boat yesterday to the rescue of a modern Noah's Ark.
 Elephants and tropical birds consigned to American zoos are desperately short of food, radioed the SS Swarthmore Victory 1000 miles off shore.
 A free translation of the anil nal SOS-save our stomachs- hustled the navy out after CD authorization from Washington for a new kind of Operation Wit ties and @ a dozen bales of hay and 2,500 meal worms. The navy got both.
 Early this morning the plane took off with the feed waterproof packed on. floats and parachute rigged for dropping near the zoo ship. But if the sea is calm, the plane may transfer its cargo to one of the ships boats.
 Besides eight baby elephants and the worm-eating exotic birds, the Pacific Far East line ship has monkeys, sun bears, tree ducks, king cobras, pythons and golden cats. Most of the animals came from Siam.
 Cause of the short rations was not explained, but the distress sig nal indicated the elephants and birds were making a ruckus about it.

 Up to 10000 of New York's 25,- 00O-odd members of theAFL inter national longshoremen's associa- ton GLAD were reported to have joined the Walkout which began before dawn Wednesday.
 Custom house figures showed fl ships were affected here immedi- ately, in addition to 16 already lying idle as result of the west coast strike. Wednesdays rain, which normally would curtail dock work, and the Armistice Day holiday yesterday obscured the full impact of the walkout.
 The New York port tieup, which affects several piers on the New Jersey side also, came after locals in Manhattan and Brooklyn re- jected teh tentative settlement with the New York shipping asso- citation.
 The pact - announced early Tuesday-would raise the day shift straight time pay from S1.75 to $1.85 an hour and the night and weekend overtime rate from S2.62R to S2.77 1/2.

Bartlett Will Push Statehood And Fish Trap Bills

Continued from Page One) rules committee, which refused to permit it to go to the House for a vote unless the Senate in erior committee approved the bill grant ing statehood for Hawaii.
 The Senate committee refused to act on Hawaii and the Alaska bill died in the House committee.
 Bar1ett's office said he has hopes for quick action, because the public lands committee ap- proved the measure year ago and if a hearing is held he expects it to be short.
 In addition, supporters of Alas kan statehood say Rep. Somers D.-N. YD, slated to be chairman of the House public lands commit tee, favors the proposal.
 The proposed outlawing of fish traps in Alaskan waters was the subject of a long hearing before a joint Senate-House commi e last year but it never reached a vote in either chamber.
 At the Territory's election in October the voters approved the fish trap legislation 10 to one.
