Livestock Solution
To Three Problems

Increased production of live
stock will solve the bug-a-boo of
surplus grain, aid soil conserva-
ton, and create efficiencies which
will make possible the profitable
sale of more meat and animal
products at prices more people
can afford to pay.
Moreover, the need for soil con-
servation is just another argu-
ment in favor of more emphasis
on animal agriculture, according
to H. E. Babcock, one of Amer
ica's top agricultural leaders.
Grass crops hold and build up
the soil, and ANNA. manure adds
valuable humus while acting as
fertilizer: for example, the rich
black soil of Iowa is the result
of centuries of grass and grazing
buffalo.

tive cotton dress in this style be-
cause the lines are simple and cot
ton is so easy to sew.
After you've had success with a
cotton, you may want to enlarge
the wardrobe with a rayon or silk
print in much the same style since
this style will 60 anywhere.
Should you want to save on sew
ing, skip the bolero and make a
scarf or a cape. Fringe, which is
so smart for the new season, may
be purchased by the yard and used
to finish the edge of the scarf.

WOMAN,S WORLD
Fabric, Style Misunderstanding
Those Who Do Sewing at Home
By Ertta Haley

GLORIOUS FABRICS and new,
~ enchanting styles await those
of you who are handy with the
needle and like to whip together
your wardrobe on the sewing ma
chine.
You'll like the feel of the new
fabrics when you sew them, then
again when you wear them. Pat
terms employ all the latest style
tricks, and there's no reason why
you can't come out with clothes
that look as though they had been
purchased from the smartest shops.
If you don't consider yourself
professional enough for a strict
tailoring job, and still want a suit,
why not choose one of the new soft
bolero style suits? These are for
girls as well as for their mothers,
and look equally attractive.
Another new wrinkle in the
fashion picture which has been used
extensively with the bolero type
suit is the print blouse that goes
with the skirt. In some cases these
are attached to the skirt, so that
when you remove the bolero you
have dress.
If you prefer, make basic dress
in one of the new soft wooden
materials, then top this with
bolero. Wear the dress with scat
ter pins or necklace, and you'll
be well dressed for club activities,
shopping, business or calling.

Red Square

Red square in Moscow was long
the place of public executions. It
became the great trade center, a
market or bazaar in the heart of
European Russia, to which came
Russian merchants over the several
roads that converge on Moscow,
and by the river Moskva. The wa
tiers of this stream flow along one
side of the Kremlin and reach the
Volga through the Okla river.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1949-04-22

few of us coincide with pattern
measurements and this means
slight adjusting.
Those of you who have had ex-
perience altering clothes know it's
much easier to take in a dress
that's too large than to enlist
material for use in a dress that's
too small. The same is true of pat
terms.
It's better to buy the next size
larger in a pattern if you have
one or two measurements in excess
OF those given on it. Tucks are easy
to take on those portions in which
you have smaller measurements.
Patterns do not run the same
sizes as ready-made dresses, so it's
best to check measurements be-
fore buying.
How to Achieve
Good Fit
Don't rush the dress to compile
ton without fitting it carefully to
the figure. It's good idea to haste
the oress and press it, then try on
and check fit carefully before do
ing the permanent stitching.
Should the dress be too large to
look attractive or too loose for
comfort, make the tucks at the
waist, under the arms or on the
shoulders large enough to take up
the excess.
When the dress is too snug, let
out some of the tucks and see if
you can't give yourself additional
room by making the side seams
slightly smaller.
All of these fitting tricks are
much easier to do before per-
manent stitching. Try the dress on
again before stitching to make
absolutely certain that the fitting
maneuvers have worked their
magic.
Quilted Coats Are
Simple to Make
Quilted, casual coats may be
added to the wardrobe without up-
setting carefully planned clothes
budgets if you sew at home. Teen
ayers will probably want one of
these to wear at school now and
then later, on breezy summer eve
aingS.
Since piece goods counters are
featuring an abundance of cottons,
the material for the coat may be
purchased for small amount of
money. Then with the aid of
time-saving, quilting attachment
on the sewing machine, the finish
is simple to make.
An attractive coat may be made
of quilting Indian Head steel-gray
with bright red similar material
used for the lining. You can find
out about using the quilting attach
ment at local sewing center if
you don't know how to use it.
Redingote Ensembles
Are Popular
Redingote ensembles are the
favorite fashion among more ma
ture women or among those who
must look well groomed, well
dressed, crisp and business-like.
With the new prints now available
as well as with the luscious, solid
colored, lightweight woolens, these
fashions will be among the most
popular ones made at home.
Smart women select not only one
print for the wooden coat that but
tons down the front, but two so
they will have an easy change of
costume.

Safe Illumination

Where illumination is necessary
in the vicinity of the place where
gas or inflammable liquids where
gas or inflammable liquids are used
or handled, only flashlights in good
repair or electric light extension
cords and lamp guards of approved
type should be used. No lights of
any kind should be lowered into a
tank or container for the purpose
of measuring the contents.

The full skirted dresses are used

Easy to make, these dresses take

2Huqe Obstacles Stand in Way
OfProducing Hydrogen Bomb

Yates or accelerates a chemical
process without being changed it
self.
Step by step the cargon atom
picks up four hydrogen atoms. In
the end there is exactly the same
amount of carbon as at the start
by the four hydrogen atoms have
been combined into one atom Of
helium.
This extremely enert gas has
been described as the "ashes of
the 5tars."
A bomb utilizing the build-up
of hydrogen into helium by using
carbon as a catalyst would be
thousands of times more powerful
than a uranium-plutonium bomb.
Ever since the reaction became
known about Is years ago, ply
sicists all over the world have
considered the possibility of util-
izing it.
They always. however, en-
counter two somewhat formidable
difficulties.
First. the reaction will not
work at a temperature less than
Is, 900, 900 degrees centigrade.
Such a temperature has been
produced on earth only for a
minute fraction Of a second in the
explosion of a uranium bomb.
It is Enthusiastically conceivable
that in some distant future this
| hurdle might be crossed. The
second difficulty is somewhat more
formidable. The reaction requires
a minimum time Of 100000
years.
In view of these facts atomic
physicists are quite skeptical as to
the possibility Of creating a car
bon-cycle hydrogen bomb.
Even the Russians have not, as
yet, gotten around to claiming
any progress in this line.

A. Originally, Mason and Dixon's

line was surveyed In the 1760s by two
English astronomers, Charles Mason
and Jeremiah Dixon, to settle q
boundary dispute lbstween the Ball
timores and the Penns.
Prior to the Civil War, the term
came to mean the dividing line
between the free and slave States.

San Diego: Why Is q person said
to have an impediment in his
speech?-Mrs. De L.
A. This is a queer figure of speech,
for impediment literally means
"that which tangles the feet" It is
from impede, which comes from the
Latin impedire, ito entangle the
feet" But in the broad sense and
in the customary modern meaning,
an impediment is anything that
obstructs. It's hard to believe that,
literally, the man who opens his
mouth and puts his foot IN it has
an impeachment In his speech, but
it's true.
