TURNING COLLARS:
NARROW SPACES;
TOWEL RACKS.

lFrom Mrs. Z. C. B., ArIin0t0,sI
Mrs. C. F. c.. washington
Turning collars on mems shirts
lis not really q very time -consuIn-
ing job. After you have done one
|or two, you viii find they go quite
quickly. Or you can buy new
collars which can be seWed In,
quite easily and wear longer than
turned collars. "A large rnail-orderI
house sells them. and 4 have
found them to be cheaper than
lin the large department stores
You can buy new cuffs also. but q
find it easier and cheaper I'd bind
frayed cuffs with white bias tape
If it is put on so that the stitch
ing comes about where the old
stitching was. the binding does
not show after, the shirt Isl
starched and ironed. This process
involves no ripping. It takes me
about an hour to bind q pair Of
cuffs, and / am far from being 81
|skillful seamstreSS. This binding
will outlast the rest Of the shirt.
Those narrow spaces between
stove and sink are very trying. A
radiator brush win do q pretty
fair job. Every few weeks ! see.
that no food is exposed in the.
kitchen and blow out all the dust
the radiator brush missed with
the blower on my vacuum cleaner.

the stores have towel racks which
can be put up with adhesive which
lis furnished in q small capsule.
Unlike the rubber suction cups.
the adhesive really sticks. I have
one which has stuck for two years
and gives every indication Of stay
ing up indefinitely. A towel rack
which stands on the floor is an
other good solution In a woodless

like either instructions or a pat
tern number for knitting or cro-
cheting two different type dog
sweaters. One is for a Chihuahua
weighing about 4 pounds and one
for a dachshund. The type ]
prefer would be one with four
legs and Upper all the way down

local pet store but they have been
unable to secure a matching pair

you married him.
After IL days Of adherence to
this satisfying diet, Hubby will be
from Z to IL pounds lighter and
on his way toward the goal he
should seek, goal which should
let you have him longer-since
overweight does shorten life.
You'll find him gay and puppy

GFWC's SD
Anniversary

By Fronces Lide

Ny tOuSGS &I00
A party on Friday celebrating
the SD anniversary Of the Gen.
eral Federation Of Women's Clubs
also will be q homecoming for the
federation president, Mrs. Oscar
A. Ahlgren.
Now winding up q tour Of Ger
many, Mrs. Ahlgren IL due back
in Washington Friday afternoon.
The party is set for s pm. at
CIVIC headquarters at 1884 N
street NV.
1t will commemorate the sign
ing Of the charter granted by
Congress to the organization
which now has q total member
ship Of II million women, about
half Of whom are in clubs outside
of the United States.
Mrs. Ahlgren undoubtedly will
have much to tell of her expert
ences abroad since she left here
November 9 to be the guest Of the
Federal Republic Of Germany,
along with five other prominent
American women.
The invitation, of course, was in
recognition of the role women are
playing today in public affairs.
And 1t was typical Of the recogni-
tion that Is being accorded to the
Rentler sex these davS
Back in 1890, when the fedora
ton was chartered. however. the
situation wasn't quite the same.
In fact, it was a Snub to women
in 1868 that led to the federation's
founding.
1t was in the spring of that year
that a group of women in New
York were refused admission to q
banquet given in honor of Charles
Dickens by the New York Press
Club, an organization with an all
male membership. 1
The women, who included Jennie
June Croly of the old New York
World, were indignant.
Smarting under the rebuff, they
decided to organize a club for
women and called it Sorosis.
Twenty-one years later, when
Sorosis came Of age" it issued al
call to all women's clubs to meet
in New York in celebration of the
occasion.
Sixty-five responded and, while
they were meeting together,
formed the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.
According to the act of Con-
greSS granting its charter, the
federation was created for edu-I
cational. industrial, philanthro-
pic, literary, artistic and scien-
tif1c culture. and to bring into
communication with one an
other the various women's clubs
throughout the world"
The interests of it's members
have always been diversified and
they have rendered service in
many fields.
For example. the American
Library Association credits wom-
ems clubs with establishing 85I
per cent of all libraries in Amer
lea today.
At least 10000 young people
have been given millions of dol
lars in scholarships and loans by
the clubs in the general and
State federations.
ClubWomen also helped to
establish the Children'S Bureau
and the Women's Industry Serv-
ice, now the United States Wom-
ems Bureau of the Department
of Labor.
Mrs. Ahlgren will be the hostess
at Fridays party celebrating the
federation's many accomplish
mentS. Those invited include
heads Of other women's organi-
cations, women Government Off
cials and officers of the fedora
tion.

Providence Seen Sweeping Away
Much of Prejudices; We're Entering
Assimilation Period, Writer Notes
By Henry S. Tatsumi
Associate Professor, u. of Wash.

telligence Services trained thou
sands of young people in the use
of the Japanese language during
and after the war The American
military occupation of Japan after
VI Day no doubt gave thousands
of younger American citizens an
opportunity to see Japan and her
people as they really are.
1t seems now that Providence has
managed to sweep away much of
the blind prejudices that have how
cred over the Japanese people for
half century. The "unassimila-
BILE" Japanese are now accepted
more readily by the government
and the private employment agen-
cies. the teaching and the other pro-
fassions. Intermartiage between
the Caucasian and Japanese young
men and women, which has long
been frowned upon and made illegal
in some states, appears to be taking
place in increasing numbers and
the social attitude towards it has
been greatly modified.
These circumstances, no doubt,
are paving the way to better I'M
Outstanding between the two peo-
pies. We have passed through the
periods of cultural contact and con-
flict and are entering that of ASST
initiation. In the face of these heal
thy signs, however, we must not re-
lax our vigil in doing our part to
foster the harmonious feelings en-
gendered since The end of the war;
because just as eternal vigilance is
the price of freedom, so it is also
the price of healthy and harmoni-

People Born in This Year of TatSu

So Believe the Japanese OWNERS
By Henry S. Tatsumi
Associate Professor, u. of WASH

Every year, the Japanese astrolo-
gical societies publish almanacs
which prophesy the expected fate
of those born under the different
zodiacal signs much as our astro-
logical societies do. MANY people
consult them either out of super
stition or out of curiosity.
The zodiac is represented by
twelve animals which are NE (the
rat, USHI (the cow, fora (the
tiger, U(the hare) ,TATSU (the dra-
gon), MI (the serpent, UNA (the
horse), HITSUJI (the goat-often
called the Sheep, SARU (ape), TO-
RI (the cock), INU (the dog, and
I (the boar. The year 1852 falls
on TATSU, the dragon.

ton in heaven and earth if disturb
ed The palace of the King of the
Dragon is a marvelously rich abode
lying far away, many leagues be-
meath the ocean waves.
According to some japanese divi-
ners, people born in the year of the
dragon are intelligent and kind and
make many fast friends. They usu-
ally become prosperous and live in
comfort. However, they are apt to
have marital problems and marry
several times during their lifetime.
They will have six children and will
be dependent on three of them.
They will live to be seventy-five
years of age.
Others say that people born in
the year of the dragon are endowed
with many good qualities, but are
quick tempered and since they re-
fuse to listen to the advice of their
parents and brothers they are like
ly to lose their support; that they
will live in comfort. but will suffer
a calamity from something that has
to do with water; and that they will
live to a ripe old age if they live
virtuous life and undertake all mat
tiers with careful consideration.
