New Reserve Board
Index Gives Brighter
Business Picture
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

The Federal Reserve Board
today found some reassuring
economic evidence in its revised
monthly index Of industrial pro-
duction. made public last night.
Board offlcialS said the much
improved" new index indicates
that the business downturn
since mid-year Cd has been less
severe than generally supposed,
and (2) is an inventory adjust
ment instead Of some more basic
economic ailment.
This subStantiated the view
privately voiced by one high ad-
miniStration official that busi-
ness will pick up markedly when
manufacturers and dealers have
sold OF excess stocks ksperhaps
as soon as.April.
Covers IT'S Industries.
The revised Reserve Board in
dex is based on production sta
tistics covering about IT'S indus
tries instead Of the 100 formerly
used.
In weighing these to arrive at
q total measurement Of mine
and factory output, the index
now takes account of some ma
jor industrial trends of the past
decade.
Greater weight is given to such
new and rapidly growing indus
tries as plastics, electronics and
synthetic fiberS and fabrics.
Manufacturing now accounts for
80 per cent Of the index and
minerals production 10 per cent /;
the old percentages were 88 and
IL respectively.
The revised index is calcu-
lated with the average produc-
tion Of the three years 1947-49
rs 100. This conforms to the
general trend in Government
sticS-keeping to modernize
yardStickS which formerly were
almost all based on the average
Of 1933-39 as 100.
Change in Index Figures.
October, 1886 production ac-
eordingly is shown as 1872 on the
new index. It was 231 on the

For the
Young Look
In Fashion
BY EIeni

Smart fashions need not cost
lot of money. We're delighted
that Dale Hilton feels the same
way about this, too.
She makes a point of featuring
young styles that appeal to those
with young figures and small
pocketbookS.
Saturday, the fashion show
held at the Raleigh Hotel was
made up of a number of the de-
signs that she has worked out
with several New York manufac-
turers. Down for the show were
a couple of editors of Seventeen
magazine.
AS you know, they're very in
terested in the young outlook on
fashion. From this showing we've
pictured two of the newsmakers.
Not only are both under $13 but
they both go way over the mark
in looking fashionable.
Jersey is a favorite fall fabric.
It's particular delight of wom-
en- who enjoy wearing comfort
able, feminine clothes. Our two
"date time" specials are in this
fabric that possesses such won-
derful draping qualities.
The sheath has all the high
fashion earmarks Of the season.
1t has the covered-up yet bare
look so popular right now. The
draped midriff and shirred
pushup sleeves give it a true
couture appearance.
If drama is what you want at
date time you know that white is
quite a potent factor in achiev-
ing it. Again the covered-up
elegant look is strong and the
two tones make an effective con-
traSt whether you are sitting or
dancing in the dress.

The Chef
Says

New England is, of course,
famous for pies-and if one
delves into the recipes handed
down from one generation to
another treasured in old scrap
books, one finds some rarities to
augment the roster of every
day" pies.
Take, for instance, a boiled
cider pie" This is almost as ira
ditional as the New England
boiled dinner.
Combine / cup of sugar, "a
cup of water, 2 tablespoons of
butter and 7 tablespoons of
thick, boiled cider. plain cider
won't do. Use old-fashioned
boiled cider made in the fall
from sweet cider boiled until it
is thick and sweet and rich) In
any case. your cider pie will be
"runny." Simmer mixture for
10 minutes, cool, add the yolks Of
two eggs, we'll beaten, and then
fold in the egg whites. beaten
stiff.
Line a plate with unbaked
pastry and pour in the filling.
Dust literally with nutmeg and
add a top crust. Bake in a hot
oven for 10 minutes, then reduce
the heat to moderate and bake
for about 30 minutes. Eat hot or
cold.
Then there is vinegar pie. Line
a pie plate with pastry. Com
bine 2 beaten egg yolks, 2 cups
of water, u cup of vinegar and
a tablespoon of melted butt =.
Add tablespoons of flour to V
cups of sugar, and combine vi.
the vinegar mixture. Add u tea
spoon of lemon extract and pour
into the pastry-lined pie plate.
Bake in a hot oven for 10 min
uteS, then reduce heat to mod
crate and bake 80 minutes more.
Cool. This is an unusual pie
which was extremely popular
with New Eng1anders a genera
ton ago.
Maine contributes a molasseS
pie. Beat we'll together 3 cups
of molasses, a cup of sugar, 3
beaten eggs, a tablespoon of
melted butter, the juice Of l
lemon, u teaspoon Of nutmeg
and "a teaspoon of salt. When
we'll blended, turn into an un-
baked pastry shell. Bake in a
hot oven for 10 minutes, then re-
duce heat and bake for 80 min
utes longer, when a knife in
serted should come out clean.

Why Grow Old?
EveryAge
Wears Short
Hair We'll
By Josephine Lowmon

Some interesting ideas to pass
along to you came up recently
during a conversation between
hair stylist John Christie of For
rest Hills, Long Island and
Nancy Coleman, star of screen
and stage and television. Mr..
Christie was giving" with some
of his ideas about the short
hairdo and Nancy was agreeing
enthusiastically.
Mr.. Christie was cutting the
tresses of Nancys twin daugh-
ters, giving them bangs to match
their mothers. Later he cut
Nancy's hair. She wears Italian
coin-cut bangs but the hair IS
left long enough in the back to
be combed and arranged in sew
eral different ways.
Mr.. Christie believes that all
women, young or old, need and
can attractively wear short hair.
He mentioned something which
had not occurred to me: Shorter
hemlineS look much better with
short hair. The short hair gives
you a small head contour which
makes your silhouette much
more in balance if you are going
to wear shorter skirts. You can
easily imagine how awkward we
would look with a chopped OH
skirt and long or bushy hair.
He has a special theory about
cutting hair. He feels that it
should be cut with circular
motion to encourage the natural
wave. That is why he calls it
"the coin cut" SO, it appears
that short hair is to be even
more in vogue if the shorter
hemlineS remain.
Nancy Coleman is a pleasing
example of the modern woman
who successfully combines Ca
reer and a family. She made her
debut with Gertrude Lawrence
in Susan and God" Then came
many movies. She was starred
on Broadway during 1852 and
1853 in 1.-The Male Animal" and
appears often on televiSion. This
besides a husband and the twins
and a house to take care of!
You can see why she would
approve of short hair which is
easily managed and is adaptable
to several arrangements.
And, speaking of the short
skirts, of course, I do not know
how long these will remain. But
I do believe that women have
become so educated to the idea
of wearing what is becoming to
them personally, that the cut
off garments are going to be
harder to sell to the feminine sex
than they were in the early
1920S. hope the men are not
listening but not many women
have legs pretty enough to make
this vogue popular for very long.
Anyway. it is a cinch that the
skirts are shorter and that it is
therefore time to look over your
leg contour. Next week I am
giving over to corrective meas
ures for the most common leg
defects in order to help you out
with the shorter skirt lengths.
Watch for it!

BICYCLE.
ONE-PIECE UNDERWEAR.
BOILING EGGS.


IL. M. w., Arlington)
To the lady who just moved
to the country. By all means,
go ahead and get on the BIZ
cycle and struggle with it
until you learn. That is all
it takes and it is worth the
struggle. I learned in my 30s.
I began on the paths around
the Tidal Basin on a rented
bicycle, and 1 think I fell into
every holly tree along the
path. You see something ahead
of you, you get panicky and
wobble into it. 1t really took
only several hours, in two or
three sessions, before I was
really riding-awkwardly, and
with a spill now and then. Of
course.
If you can find a beaten
path of bare earth. that is the
most comfortable to fall on;
concrete will skin you up more
and grass is uneven and much
more difficult to ride on, even
after you have learned. Loose
sand and gravel are worst Of
all, because slippery and
treacherouS. Take off your
glasses, wear slacks, not shorts
to protect your knees, put on
socks to protect your ankles.
It might be easier when
learning to have the seat low
enough so that you can touch
the ground with your toes
when you feel yourself teeter-
ing. My rented bike is too
high for that.
Re old-fashioned underwear:
My husband too will have
none but the one piece under
wear. He is kept supplied
from the two big mail order
houses, usually getting them
in seasonal sales at reduced
prices. There is an order desk
in all the retail stores. as well
as an order office of one chain
on Thirteenth street.
To boil eggs without hav-
ing them crack open. bring
them out of the regriferator
ahead of time and let them
warm up to room temperature.
If you start with cold eggs.
put salt in the water you boil
them in. After boiling, cool
them quickly in cold water for
easy peeling.
