The thought that is driving us all
mad is, why, in the name of God,
our Father, then, haven't we all
these things!
Oh, yes, Matte and her kind have
plenty to worry about. from the
grease spot on the new carpet to
the latest from Moscow But Amer
lean women today must stop wor-
rying-about everything. True pa
triots, realizing that we are the
strongest nation in this ruined
world, and that all the others look
to us for help, must rise to this call
to arms.
Give Your Best.
We must do our best with the in
evitable shocks, we must feed our
families cheap food if we cannot
afford better, we must invent, origi-
nate, experiment, change We must
enjoy everything we possibly can;
fine music, third-run movies. maya
zines, walks, books, the miracles of
sunrise and moonrise, the JOY of
quiet hours at home.
We must steel ourselves to spare
the children and the tired man who
comes home from nervous, exhaust
ing office days, the misgivings we
cannot help feeling. Just to find
you cheerful, confident, philosophi-
cal, will do more for your husband
than any other thing-than any 9TH
er dozen things-that could be done
for him. The earlier generations of
American women hel.,ed to build
this amazing republic by an atti-
tude of Don't worry dear, we'll get
though this"
We will get through this time
Of high prices, taxes, house
shortages, war fears and war
debts; we will emerge into
peaceful times and wiser times.
We will know years-centuries
when the stupidities of today
will seem like bad dream.
We have grown up too fast, our
amusements and extravagances
and escapes have temporarily up
set our sober reason. But we'll find
reason again. and with it type of
living the world never has known.
Sweep away all your worries this
minute; the unpaid bill, the red
spot behind Buddy's ear, the letter
from Mamma, the office humiliation
that dear old patient John has to
take, the newspaper headlines, the
mosquito that descends humming
over you as soon as you put out the
bedroom light at night-all of them,
all of them are only dreams which
will vanish when the morning of
courage and determination dawns.

High footboards can be cut down,
leaving a five or six inch panel
which may or may not be covered
to match the headboard. It's good
idea to redowel the footboard be-
fore putting the bed together again.
After you have removed fussy
pieces from an old bed, instead of
covering it, you might prefer to
paint it bright warm color like
green, blue, pink or yellow. Use a
simple but attractive spread.
If the room is rather plain with
cream walls and dotted swiss cur
tains, make a wallpaper border of
small floral print around the win
dows to add color to the bedroom
If you have used wallpaper on the
headboard of the remodeled bed,
this should be used as the frame
around the window. too.

New Hospital Color

FORT WORTH. TEX.-Glaringly
white hospital walls in hospital
rooms may be thing of the past
St. Joseph's hospital in Fort
Worth now uses a soft shade of
green for operating rooms. 1t is
one of the first in the state to con-
vert to the new color. The idea is
to cut down on the glare.
The color scheme is carried over
into the drapes, sheets, operating
gowns, caps and masks. Authorities
say it helps to relieve eye fatigue
and strain.

Paint and Paper Will Revamp
Old Furniture Into New Pieces
&y G,tfa Haley

MANY of us have tucked away
w old pieces of furniture into the
attic or relegated odds and ends to
the basement. Now. if the house
needs its face lifted, why not bring
out some of these pieces to see how
they can be made to fit the interior?
Surprising, delightful things can
be applied to restyle odd pieces OF
furniture into something quite
modern. A friend of mine recently
picked up some old cabinets at a
second hand shop She stained the
tops and sides light, while the
drawer fronts were stained dark,
leaving the knobs light. Three old
cabinets were converted into mod
ern looking storage cabinets for the
living room.
Beds, chairs, chests and tables
all can be made over very much
the same way clothes are, changing
lines or adding new color. You may
have practically a gold mine in
your home now simply by checking
attic or basement for castaways.
Make China Cabinet
Into Attractive Bookcase
Dated china cabinets are not
used in many homes today, but the
junk man does not need to claim
them if you make them over into
bookcases or a small closet.
If you want to use as bookcase
either in the living room, den or
bedroom, remove the glass front
off the china cabinet, replace the
side panels with plywood, cut off
the legs, leaving about two inches,
and add decorative molding to the

Bv KATHLEEN NORRIS

A WICHITA man is leaving
~ his wife and going to live
4 with his mother on her
farm. Their only son, II, is 60
ing away to college. Their only
daughter, who is now 20, ran
away and got married three
years ago. The man, Bert Snow,
says he has borne all he can bear
and that his wife is driving him
crazy.
Matte" said his letter, sis
about the worst worrier l know.
Lots of women worry, and bother
their tired husbands at night with
lot of nonsensical complaints that
they ought never to mention, but
Matte beats the lot Everything
she says is worrying. In the morn
ing it's the weather, the paper be-
ing late, the garden being dry, the
house being in such condition, the
oven being slow getting hot, the
coffee not being like the last pound,
the teaspoon that has been missing
for years, the napkins wearing out
so fast.
Every word is worry. Her face
has a brown, dried, wrinkled look
from worry. She's afraid that
Linda's baby is being spoiled, and
afraid that Linda's having another,
and that Derrick never will be
money-maker. She calls up my son
in the middle of school morning
to remind him of his cough pills.
She worries when she telephones
her friends and she worries when
she doesn't.
Has Many Worries
'All this is about nothing. And
with all this, she keeps up a con-
slant undertone of paralyzing anXi-
ETY. about real troubles, so that
sometimes she actually cannot get
a meal or speak for terror. Any
thing alarming that is said on the
radio, about war, or bombs, or
floods, or weather, any suspicion of
epidemics or statement as to the
prevalence of cancer or polio, sta
tistics on highway or bathtub acct
dents, these throw her into a low

and trembles for hours. High prices,
scarcities, unexpected charges by
the dentist, plumber, doctor, every
thing is grist to poor Mattie's mill.
I'm getting as bad as she is I'm
going home to Mamma"
This pathetic, desperate letter
from 50-year-old man describes a
domestic condition that is only too
common nowadays. Not that most
worriers are as bad as Matte
But we are all wOrriers, more
or less, and worry is like mil
dew. or termites, or gangrene.
1t eats away our powers, 1t
weakens our will, it darkens
hundred scenes that ought to
be unclOuded and happy.
The truth is that while worry IS
wasteful, Improbable and uncom-
Portable for all concerned, there is
no saying today that we have noih-
ing to worry about. We have every
thing to worry about.
Thousands of inessential things
are right with our civilizations but
two or three supremacy essential
things have been so badly misman-
aged and have been allowed so to
harden into custom and usage, that
do what we will we cannot balance
or rationalize our problems. Life
could be different, without wars, in
temperance. unemployment, priva-
ton, and, above all-without fear.
We know it could, at one-tenth of
the cost of war. We know all ma
tons want to be friendly; ali men
and women want to sleep securely
and safely in their own households.
We know there is plenty of every
thing desirable in the world: Sun
shine. homes, food. friendship

It's Easy to Convert
Chests and Tables

CneStS ana IaDleS
Have you a small table that once
was used in the kitchen? There are
two good possibilities for using this.
One is to cover the table complete
ly and make a dressing table of it
for the bathroom, bedroom or
dressing room You can cover the
mirror frame with the same type
of material as the skirt of the table
An old piano bench or discarded
box can be padded to make the seat
for the table. This, too. is covered
in the same material used for the
skirt
Another possibility for using the
table is to place it in a hall.
A niche in the hall could be
used for the table, which is refin-
ished as necessary. You can use
figure of some kind on the table,
few books or a lamp if light is
needed. A mirror can be used above
the table, if desired, or an attrac-
tive arrangement of pictures could
be placed there.
Shabby chests take on new bright
ness if they are covered with a
floral print wallpaper. These are
good to use in bedrooms as night
tables, especially if they are the
small, two or three drawer type.
Chests also can be papered, COW
cred or even painted to match or
harmonic with closets. The legs
can be trimmed down completely
or at least cut down to a height
more convenient if they are to be
used in the closet
Long storage chests also can be
brought out of hiding and either
refinished or painted, papered or
covered in some way to make them
harmonic with the room.
A cedar chest. for example, may
fit nicely into den against a row
of windows. When refinished with
the top padded and covered nicely,
these will give two or three extra
seats to the room as well as stor-
age chest for toys, clothing, furs,
pillows, extra blankets or linens.

Brighten Wooden Chairs
By Painting, Padding

What about these old kitchen or
porch chairs you have relegated to
the attic. Couldn't they be used if
you trim off the ornate knobs and
other bric-a-brac?
The chair can be painted a gay
color to match the kitchen, and you
can relieve the solid color paint by
adding some gay trimming with
decals or stencils.
Or if you want to use the chair on
the porch or dinette, pad the back
and seat, and finish off with gay
lowered or solid color fabric.
Chairs also can be stained if you
want to use them in some other
room in the home. Remove the old
paint with varnish remover.

Business Federation
Backs Reasonable
Transit Fare Increase

The Federation of Businessmen s
Associations last night went on rec
ord as approving "a fair and rea-
sonable increase in rates for the
Capital Transit Co., to be deter
mined by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The commission starts hearings
on the transit company's request
for rate boosts next week. Capital
Transit asks S185 weekly pass and
a straight cash cash fare of Is cents.
The pass now costs $1.50 and the
straight fare 10 cents.
While the federation did not ad-
voeate the granting of the transit
firms request for full rate rise,
it said it took into consideration
increased labor and operating costs
of the transit company and diff
fculty in paying a fair dividend.
Delegates from the federation's n
member units were told what
happens to the transit dollar by E.
Cleveland Giddings, Capital Transit
vice president.
Mr.. Giddings said IS cents of the
dollar goes for labor costs, and the
rest. except for cents, for other
operating expenses. The 2 cents
that is left is for payment of
dividends, amounting to 50 on 500
par value, he explain ed.
This is the transit company S
second request for a rate increase
in little over a year. In May,
1947, the PUG allowed the company
to raise the price of weekly passes
from SIPS to $1.50 and discontinue
the sale OF tokens at the rate OF
three for Is cents, substituting the
straight 10-cent cash fare.
Last nights special meeting OF
the federation's Board of Directors
was called under authority granted
at a recent session, when it was
decided to consider the rate in
crease.
