things and feel that doing our

Yesterday I wrote about music
and said that todays popular
tunes are indicators of today's
thinking and popular moods to a
certain extent, and that 1t seems
to me that these songs take the
place of the old folk songs. In fact,
it seems to me they are a kind OF
folk song.
Today I am thinking of the mel
ody, "A-You're Adorable" which
has had such great popularity.
Along with all the other words OF
the lyric about 'you're so beau
tiful' and so forth, come these
lines-"You're exciting-You're a
feather in my arms"
Well, fgure-molding has finally
made the hit parade! Also, charm
and personality as attributes es-
sential to being loved are in the
same song.
never go any place without
hearing women talk about the flg-
ure. I hear it at bridge tables.
at dinner parties. on buses and
In subways. in washrooms and at
board meetings. in fact. any place
where women gather in twos or
in hundreds and have moment
to spare in talk. AS a matter OF
fact, there have been many songs
before which emphasized the i'm
portance of the feminine silhou-
cite. Remember She's Too Fat
for Me-"
Romance has always been con-
nected in the mind Of man with a
slim waistline, with roses in the
cheeks, with a well-turned ankle,
with grace of motion. and this
turns up in poetry and song over
and over again.

AN APPEAL.

(From Mrs. E. S. B., ArlingtonJ
An urgent appeal for used
lightweight clothing for children
and adults has been made by the
Save the Children Federation's
clothing center at 107 East Main
street, Abingdon mot Arlington) {.
Va. The SCI works with and
for disadvantaged and unfor-
tunate children in isolated
mountain areas of the United
States, and also at the present
time with the Navajo Indian
children on their reservations in
the West.
The Abingdon center serves the
fourteen counties Of Southwest
Virginia, and is the nearest CEN
ter to the Washington area. If
a neighborhood group collects as
much as 100 pounds of clothing to
be sent at one time, it may be sent
to the above address freight COL
lect. The SCF will pay shipping
charges on quantity shipments.
Clothing donated is put in good
condition before being offered for
sale. The federation follows the
accepted social work practice.
which is now being tried out by
most of the missions and church
schools also-namely. that 1t is
usually better to sell clothing to
people for a very small amount
than give it outright, except IN
special cases. In times OF dire
distress, that latter = is necessary.
but the average person is able to
pay a small amount for clothing
even though his income does not
warrant the purchase OF new
clothing in stores. Through the
sale of clothing. self-respect may
be maintained and customers are
able to choose the clothing which
they want, which is not true when
1t Is given to them. Clothing sales
are handled through county COM
mittees and the proceeds from
such sales are used for child well
fare work.
The need at the present time
for summer clothing is acute.
Stocks at the Abingdon Office are
almost completely depleted and
many children of that area are
truly without decent clothing Of
any kind. Adults also purchase
clothing at the SCF center. This
is as good a place as any we have
ever heard of to which to send
used clothing.
MEMS SUIT PATTERNS?
From Mrs. M. E. L., WashingtonJ
I think that the RICH is tops,
and since almost no requests go
unanswered I am hoping that
some kind person will give me
the information that ! need.
My husband wears size 38
coat and size 80 trousers. Ready
made suits do not fit and altera-
tions never give a satisfactory fit.
Tailor-made suits cannot possibly
be fitted into our close budget.
I do a great deal of sewing,
making all of my own and the
children's clothes, and would like
to make my husbands suits. but
have secured the town with no
success for mems suit patterns.
Can any one tell me where you
can obtain mems patterns?

OLD HYMN.
From Mrs. E. L. G.. Front RoydlD
Below is the old hymn that
Mrs. A. F. B., Falls Church. re-
quested:
THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT.
She only touched the hem OF His garment
AS to His side she stole.
Amid the crowd that rathered around Him,
And straightway she was whole.
CHORUS.
His saving power this very hour
Shall give new life to thee.
Verse Q
She came in fear and trembling before
She knew her Lord had come;
The mighty deed was done.
He turned with, DAUGHTER. be OF GOOD
Thy faith had made thee whole;
And peace that passeth all understanding
With gladness flled her soul.

 WASHINGTON = One of the worst scandals in the nation today is income tax fraud and the way certain politicos or friends of pol iticos are able to get away with it.
 With the country facing almost certain tax increases next year it remains fact that every man who dodges his taxes sends the tax bill up higher for the other fel- low.
 Recently this column cited var ious tax cases where the little guy got prosecuted, but the big guy able to hire political influence got off. This is far more frequent than the public realizes, and this column herewith begins a series to show how income-tax fraud is put across.
 For instance, in Mobile, Ala, Joe Mitchell and his brother -in-law Sam Ripps, organized the Gull Coast Tobacco Co.,, during the wal and sold millions of dollars worth of jewelry to army post exchanges The boys in the army camps would buy almost anything those days and Ripps and Mitchell made 2 killing.
 Then, couple of years later, al- ert Treasury agents caught them keeping two sets of books, anc after long investigation, recom- mended criminal prosecution.

TRUMAN ON RECORD AS
 |kE'5 FRIEND
By Ernest B. vaccaro

Key West, Fla, Dec. 16-R-Pre- sident Truman today made it a matter of record that he and General Dwight D. Eisenhower are good friends and always have been."
 Apparently concerned about stor- ies out of Key West that he regards the former army chief of staff as a candidate for the Presidency, the Presidential Press Secretary Charles c. Ross told reporters:
 "The President wants it to go on record that he and General Eisen- hover are good friends and always have been."
 Ross himself described the stories as "souped-up' and said he knew of no intimates with whom the President has discussed the possi- bility of Eisenhower becoming a candidate.
 The White House reaction came after Eisenhower, now President of Columbia University, said he was not a candidate, no matter what anyone thinks, and will not be talked into becoming one.
 Does the President regard Gen. eral Eisenhower as a candidate?" A reporter asked Ross.
 The Secretary said T don't know what is in his (The President's) mind. The President is not talking about it along those lines"
 The discussion took place at a news conference.

Spends Four Wintry Nights
 in Cabin, No Food, Heat -ls Christmas Present

LONGVIEW, Wash, Dec. 16--R A plucky Girl Scout who had waited patiently in a wilderness cabin four wintery nights for her rescue was resting today in warm hospital bed.
 A physician said 16-year-old Ruth Aterle of Kelso was respond ing quickly to nourishment and needed only few days of rest be- fore rejoining her family for the holidays.
 Her safety has been almost a Christmas present to this entire southwest Washington area. Ruth said herself last night T never thought I'd be a Christmas pre- sent"
 RESCUED GIRL CHEERED
 The search had been the most ex- tensive for missing person in the history of Cowlitz county. Business men, loggers, stevedores, boys and girls--even housewives-had joined the hunt. Some of them had risked their jobs to remain in the woods. Townspeople at Kelso lined the roads and cheered when the ambu- lance drove out of the mountains toward the hospital here.
 The girl disappeared from a group of teen-agers cutting Christ mas trees Sunday. Since then, while half thousand men comhed the mountain country northeast of here, Ruth had been alone and without food in the snow and rain. But when found yesterday she calmly identified herself and said will you take me home?'
 Later she told rescuer Charles F. Smith T knew I'd get out. wasn't scared. But I hope no one else ever gets lost
 GIRL FIRST SEEN Smith and his son, Phillip, had started over a mountain to join the main search party when they saw the girl in a clearing. She was returning from getting drink at creek near the small l2 by 12 foot square hut where she had curled up to cleep four previous nights.
 The sturdy physical health of the girl kept her on her feet until she reached the ambulance. Smith said the girl walked "all the way to the road--several miles--except when I carried her across the streams"
 Ruth had smiles for her rescuers and was still without tears until her mother. Mrs. William Aberle Sr., took her in her arms at the hospital. I'm all right, mother. I'm all right; I'm happy now" T realized I was lost about an hour after I became separated from the rest of the kids Ruth said. T got on long road and walked for while. Finally found the cabin. It was fairly dry. found an old door that was off it's hinges in enc corner. crawled in behind the door and didn't get too cold" pr. c. H.
