Wife Destroys Husband

Exactly what the pschyiatriSts
would make of Ned and Regina I
don't know, but l do know that his
worst enemy, or hers, could not
more cftcctually have destroyed
him. When mans table manners,
speech, pronunciation, domestic hab-
its, business life, have been subject
for years to inCessant, gentle, per-
sistent correction, he loses any initi-
ative he ever might have had.
We all know the devastating
effect of those pleasant, dubious
voices that hold us back from any
impulSive plan, dampen our gay
est ardor, shake our self-reliance.
81 wouldn't say that dear. Are
you wearing that hat? II seems
to me l wouldn't call on Mary to-
day. That's a pretty gift, darling,
and a nice idea. But I'd wait a
while before l sent it"
Rcgina's idea of nagging wife is
a noisy shrcw. She isn't that. But
in her gentle, persistent way she
is just as bad as the shrillest Kan
tippe of them all. Fifteen years of
it have reduced Ned TO the point
where he doesn't dare pick out a
necktic or dial radio program with
out reference to Regina, much less
express an opinion or make even
the slightest criticism! She might
have been the wife of a successful
and popular man. Instead she has
for a companion a timid undcrling
and nervously obcdient shadow.

and pleats, but if you find a mate
rial that hides stitching, little errors
of technique will not show.
Fabrics such as faille, broadcloth
and gabardine are easy to sew be-
cause they have a definite texture
and they do not slip while cutting
and sewing. Smooth fabrics with
glossy surfaces, such as satin and
taffeta, slip easily and are hard to
guide while stitching.
Stitching Flaws Are
Lost on Prints
All-over prints which are so wear
able during the warmer weather are
good starting fabric for beginners
because stitching flaws are incon-
spicuous. These prints usually do
not have the down sides so that
you have to use special care in cut
ting and fitting the pieces.
Large prints, stripes and plaids,
and even checks have to be matched
in cutting and should be avoided by
the amateur.
Luxurious fabrics with nap such rs
velvet and some of the fancy woolens
are to be avoided because this type
Of fabric slips and slides during cut
ting and sewing. In cutting fabrics
with pile, you must be certain that
gored skirt is all cut the same way
or it will look as though one part
of the skirt had pile running up it
while another portion may have pile
running down it.

Amateur Can Sew With Ease
Ii She Selects Right Fabrics
By Ertta Haley

A IL Of us cannot be expert seam
stresses without some practice,
and we must all take the first few
steps in sewing carefully. Of course,
there are lots of aids, and even an
amateur can turn to professional,
practically, in just few lessons.
If you have sewed little or none
at all, select only simple, straight
line patterns without too much in
tricate detail. There is no sense in
tacllling a job too hard because it
will only discourage you.
The choice of fabric is another
important point for the beginner to
bear in mind. The type of construc-
ton, rather than the kind of fiber,
determines the easy handling of a
fabric.
Spun rayons and cottons are good
choices for the beginner. However,
she does not have to feel the dresses
will not look professional just be-
cause she is sewing on simply con-
structed fabrics. If the garment is
we'll finished, it will look attractive,
and no one need know it was her
first project.
A fabric that feels firm and has
very little lengthwise stretch will be
easy to cut and sew. Check the
fabric where the yardage was cut
and see how it trays. If it has
raveled much, don't pick it as first
project, because you'll get too tan
gled in thread.
Sheer fabrics are a problem to the
inexperienced because they pull and
slip easily. The stitching, too, must
be well finished so that no raw
edges show through the fabric. Fab
RIGS such as these are best left to

Medium Weight Is Guide
For Amateur SeamStress

Even though sheer and heavy fab
RIGS are out of the question for the
beginner, there is st;ll a wide field
of textiles available. Look for me-
dunn weight fabrics like gabardines,
broadcloths, shantung (rayon), faille,
flat crepe prints, novelty dress
weight rayons, twill, ct cetera. They
are easy to cut and your fingers
seem to work magic with them.
If you worry about the stitching,
choose materials that will show lit
tie of the actual sewing. Of course,
you can avoid such details as tucks
Browning chief., 1948-06-11

An amateur selUer should choose =.
those who have sewed more because
they handle the material deftly and
quickly with nimble fingers.
Heavy fabrics are just a bit too
bulky for the amateur to tackle.
They worry too much about the diff
ficulty of cutting and of sewing, so
these, too, should be left to the more
experienced.
Browning chief., 1948-06-11

Pile fabrics, too, are rather bulky,
and this is another feature which
makes them somewhat difficult for
the amateur to handle.

Pupils Vote ForCounciI

Palmer High School students led their elders to the polls last week, when they marked their ballots for this years student council members. The students followed regular voting proce dure, being required first to reg ister before receiving a ballot. Standard election booths were set up in the basement of the school.
 The student organization again will be led by Lewis Geiwitz, who is starting his second term as council president. Henry Ander- son was named vice-president, while the task of secretary fell to Gayle Eckert. Barbara Hecker will be treasurer.
 Student representatives on the council include:
 Margye Mielke, George Her mon, Helen Mae Stenvall, Jack Elmore, Sarah Smith, Gloria Carroll, Harvey Hiber, David Vigdahl, Betty Harris, Dolores Lentz, Doyle Ross and Wesley Eckert..
 Already the council has held it's first meeting. The group de- voted all of it's time at that meeting to discussion of cleo ton procedure and a review of the methods of conducting stu dent elections held in past years. The student council is expected to operate in Palmer High School in, much the same manner as it has done in past years.

Plans for a room mother pro- gram for Palmer school were an- nounced at the first Parent Teachers Association meeting last week. Appointments are in complete, P-TA president Mrs. Charles Schaefer said, but it is planned to name a room mother for each of the grade rooms in the school.
 Committee heads for the year were announced. MT. and Mrs. Clayton Esslinger will plan the years programs. MT. and Mrs. George Geiwitz are in charge of the membership drive. Mir and Mrs. Ray Gather will be in charge of the devotional program. Mrs. Chek Sandvik will head the hos pitality committee.
 It is the responsibility of each committee head to choose his committee members, Mrs. Schae- fer stated.
 Committee heads and room mothers will function as the P- "A executive committee, togeth- CT with club officers. It is ex- pected that this executive con- mittee will conduct most of the business of the organization, leaving meeting nights free for brief reports and programs.

The unexpected decision of the
Soviet Union to join the United
Nations Trusteeship Council, which
it snubbed until this week, has
Evening star., 1948-04-29

force composed of military contin-
gents from the United States,
Canada, France and possibly Brazil
be sent to take over the policing
of Jerusalem.
Since the United States was to
contribute the largest contingent of
several thousand men. the COM
mand of the international police
force was to be vested in an Amer
ican general.
Russia, by her previous refusal
to sit with the representatives of
the other members of the U. N. in
the Trusteeship Council, was not
to be invited to participate in the
organization of this force.
Not Subject to Veto.
When the Kremlin discovered
that its cherished plans to inject
its own military force into Pales-
tine thus were to be frustrated it
ordered Andrei Gromyko, Russian
chief delegate at the U. NJ, to
assign one of his assistants to take
the empty seat in the Trusteeship
Council.
Now it is feared that the U. S.
s. r. will insist on contributing
a strong Soviet contingent to the
Jerusalem police force. The idea
does not appeal to those members
Of the U. N. who are not under
Soviet control.
Consultations have taken place
in New York in the last 48 hours
on how to deal with this unexpected
Soviet contribution. Since the
proposal for formation of the
American Canadian French Bra
lillian force is not subject to veto

Item 1: The Senate has just con-
CURED with the action of the House
in abolishing the Office of Small
Business in the Department of Com
merce. 1t was done by eliminating
the annual appropriation for the
Office. Secretary Hartman this year
had asked for $452,000. In the name
of economy, he was given nothing
Little businessmen attending the
chambers convention are familiar
with the manifold services rendered
by the Office of Small Business and
probably will not relish this economy
at their expense.
Item 2: The effort is now on to
steamroller through the Senate a
bill to amend the Natural Gas Act
in manner calculated, according to
studies of the Federal Power Com
mission, to increase the annual
profits of II companies by $56 ,OOO,-
600. The increase would be at the
expense of consumers - including
small business concerns.
Sponsored by Oklahomans.
This is the bill sponsored by Rep
resentative Ridley and Senator
Moore, both Republicans, from the
natural-gas State of Oklahoma. 1t
was passed by the House at the last
session. The Senate leaders until
recently had been disposed to hold
it up until after the election, since
presidential veto is anticipated.
1t being the kind of issue that aver
age voters can understand. the veto
might be a good campaign docu-
ment. However, under tremendous
pressure by the gas interests. the
Senate Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee is taking the bill
up this week with the idea of re-
porting it out for vote.
A three-man subcommittee has
held hearings. Two members, Sem
ator Moore, the author, and Senator
Capehart, Republican, of Indiana,
have reported the bill favorably to
the full committee. Senator Stew
art, Democrat, of Tennessee has
filed minority report.
