: Treasury Cuts Term
For New Certificates
To Only q Months
BY Donald B. HadIex

The Treasury has decided to re-
fund more than $40 billion in
bonds and notes with q new type
of 17s per cent certificates of in
debtedness maturing In only 91a
months instead Of the usual one
year term for a certificate.
Announcement of the new issue
late yesterday brought comment
in New York that Secretary Snyder
had left the way open for the
Government to take advantage Of
any decline in interest rates that
may occur in coming months. He
will be in a position to refinance
the $40 billion again next spring
at rates prevailing at that time.
The new issue will mature April
l, 1852.
Interest rates have been advanc-
ing since the Federal Reserve
Board allowed prices of Govern
ment securities to fall below par.
Lower bond prices bring higher
returns to investors. The new
certificates compare with an issue
on January / that paid only 1h
per cent for one year.
The new certificates will be Of
fered in exchange for 81. .626, $780,
$50 of 2A per cent Treasury bonds
of 1951-54 that are called for re-
demption on June Is and $8,445,-
058,000 of 1A per cent Treasury
notes maturing July /. A large
part of the bonds are held by COM
mercial banks, who also have
around $2.3 billion of the notes.
The Treasury and Reserve Banks
have about $1.8 billion of the
notes.

To home sewers q dress form
may be an expensive item to be
considered. The price for one
frequently seems high, yet a form
lis still essential for the woman
who wants to try out her own
|dressmaking ideas.
A Georgetown dressmaker, Juli-
|enne, who also teaches the art,
has designed a low-cost dress form
that can be made by a woman at
home. For years Julienne has
wanted to try ner hand at design
ing a durable. lightweight and
economical form that could pe
made available to women at
under So.
The kit for home use contains
IA pattern for the body foundation,
muslin to make it. a sufficient
quantity Of plastic composition to
give body to the form, a spatula
and a can of rubber base paint to
give O nice finish, plus adhesive
tape that is elasticized to make it
all fit together.
Full directions come with the
kit that show you how to sculpture
your own dress form, which be-
comes definitely you" We were
told that many women who order
dress forms in sewing shops often
disown them when presented with
them to take home. This Is one
dress form no woman will be able
to disown-she will have helped
to make 1t herself! -E. S.

Sunbathing should be a scien-
tific procedure. However, every
summer thousands of very white
skinned persons dash out into the
outdoors with no thought or little
thought. in order to "get a sun
tan" or improve their health.
Actually the result is often far
different. The skin may be per-
manently damaged and in some
instances even death has oc-
Cured. This year take it easy.
Be patient if you wish real bene-
fits in health and q pretty tan.
Sunlight is beneficial to all hui
man beings. It is especially es-
|sential for children because of
their growing, bony structure.
We can manufacture our own
vitamin D II we have the benefit
|of sunshine. The sun also re-
lakes us in a special sort of
way and sensible sunbathing may
prove a great aid in overcoming
insomnia.
People vary greatly in their
susceptibility to sunburn. The
thickness and pigmentation Of the
skin play their part. Also, there
are certain abnormal physical
conditions which make it impor-
tant to avoid heavy doses of sun.

Why Grow Old?
Scientific Sunbuthinu

Thus. it is difficult to give general
rules.
Most people will be safe If they
begin with 10 minutes Of sun
bathing and increase it very
gradually. This Is q good general
rule to follow: Get out Of the
sun as soon as you see the first
reddening. Many people make
the mistake of not doing 80. Even
five or 10 minutes more can make
the difference between healthful
suntanning and q painful skin
and health damage.
OF course, the time you can
remain safely in the sun can be
greatly heightened by using one
Iof the products which screens
out some Of the ultraviolet rays.
These are responsible for tanning
and burning, not the heat OF the
sun.
The sky radiates ultraviolet
rays. Therefore. you get some
ultraviolet whenever you are out
doors or by an open window even
when you are not in the sunlight.
Remember that ultraviolet in
tensity is increased by the re-
Election from water and snow
and also by altitude. Cloudy days
are foolers. You can get sun
burned with the sun behind the
clouds.

Parents are usually very proud
when the teacher says. 1--WE are
going to let Johnny skip a grade.
With a little help he can do it.
we are sure"
A wise parent thinks twice
about that, especially If the class
skipped is in the lower grades.
Such grades are likely to be
crowded and skipping q few
children, the brightest ones. re-
lieveS the overcrowding. What is
more important. however, than
making room in the classroom is
the effect the skipping will have
on the child's future school
career.
The elementary grades are the
most important of a child's school
life. In these grades he learns
the fundamentals of the major
subjects. Here he learns his ia
bles, the processes Of arithmetic,
the art of reading from a printed
page so as to get meaning from
it, the skill of hand that allows
him to write legibly. the mastery
of his language powers that
enable him to talk clearly, in con-
secutive sentences, and to write a
clear simple. declarative sentence.
These are no mean accomplish
ments and not easily acquired.
The child who skips a class
loses part Of his fundamental
training in these important phases
of his education. When he reaches
the upper grades where speed is
