With the popularity of fancy
braidS and trimmings, questions
arise in the minds of many home
sewers. Here are some Of the ques-
tions and their answers:
@. How are braidS and frogs ap-
piled to garments?
A. Flat types may be sewn by
machine fancier or more lumpy
ones should be sewn by hand.
@. Do metallic prints tarnish?
A. Metallic prints on the market
this season are mostly thin layer
of ii carat gold and should not
tarniSh except to the degree that
real gold furnishes when in con-
tact with the human skin, which
of course. varies in its acid con-
tent. Most metallic prints and
trims are not guaranteed by the
seller. But gold prints are likely
to remain untarnished for the life
of the garment.
\ @. Do metallic threads in fabrics
become sticky when they are
pressed?
A. Not if pressed with COOL
iron.

Toy
Ruled Out
By Angelo Potri

"All the children in our neigh
borhood are wearing cowboy suits
and carrying guns, play guns, of
course. You have always said that
gums are not good for children.
What are we parents to do when
our children are the only ones
around who do not have these
play suits and guns?"
I am against play guns, any sort
OF murderous weapons. for chill
dren. A gun is an instrument Of
killing. Children should not be
taught that they are toys and that
killing is just another game. I laid
down my newspaper this morning
sick at heart. A 5-year-old child
had taken a gun, rifle, from a
closet where his brother, not old
enough, in my opinion, to have a
gun, had placed it, and shot his
mother dead. The poor child did
not understand what a gun could
do. He had no understanding Of
what death means. To him shoot
ing gun was just another game.
All his life this child will carry
the burden Of his mothers death
on his soul. The older he gets the
Heavier that burden will become.
Yet he was only a child, almost a
baby, when he, in play, wrecked
family and injured himself ir-
Ireparably.
1t is not the gun itself. of course.
1t is what the gun implies. To
children it implies that shooting
people is part of an exciting game.
The gun is the toy for the game.
Beyond that no 5-year-old can
go. Are We doing right then to give
him this toy? I say no.
The cowboy suit? Why not?
They are gay, the children love
them. But cowboys are not ruff
fans. They do not go about shoot
ing people, or animals. They pro-
tect their animals and they shoot
only when it is their duty to shoot
to protect their charges. They do
not go staggering about pointing
guns at people.
Neither do soldiers. Soldiers
have great respect for guns. Why
let little children think that they
can go about poking play guns
into peoples stomachs and YELL
ing, you're dead? What idea Of
sport will such a practice give chill.
dren in time to come?
The shops are full of toys that
children can use with profit to
themselves and with safety for
others. Why not teach them that
work is fun, too, and adds to the
Joy of the nation? Trucks, hoists,
shovels, constructive toys will
never lead to tragedy. Why not
use them?
And it might be impressed upon
the children that a cowboy uses
Ia rope oftener than a gun in his
business.

Ifemininity? Use one of the follow
ing methods as insurance against
spilling: Give the stopper an ex-
ira twist to be sure it will not
joggle out of place; or buy phar-

into the neck of the bottle; or seal
the stopper securely with paraffin
