QUILT PATTERN.
mrs. G. W.. RockuilleJ

Can anyone tell me where
/ might be able to find the
Rose of Sharon" packaged
quilt pattern which was sold
a number of years ago in the
needlework department Of
woodward g. Lothrop? The
quilt had solid red flowers and
green calico leaves and was ap-
pliqued on plain white. This
particular number is no longer
available. but would like to
get a pattern of it. ! would
be very grateful to anyone
who could supply me with a
drawing so I could buy the
material and make one up as
nearly like that one as is pos
Sible.

FERTILIZERS.

tMrS. r. S. T., Alexandria,
Here is a money saver: Have
you ever compared values in
fertilizers? Or do you just
blindly buy by brand? In any
analysis, nitrogen is the i'm
portant plant food. 1t is the
first in the series of percent
ages, such as 5-10-5, 4-8-8, etc.
Any seed store sells a fertilizer
with twice as much nitrogen
l0-6-4 for as little as so
cents more for a hundred
pounds. Think of the saving.

HIGH WINDOWS
Mrs. P. A. s.. Le,pisdalel

MRS. P. A. S., Lei0iSdale)
Here is an answer to Mrs.
D. E. P.'s request about high
windows We have lived for
three years in our house in
which the bedrooms have the
type of windows you describe.
Ours are of aluminium and are
removable, which makes them
easy for washing. They af-
ford ample light and plenty
OF fresh air in the summer.
They are as closely fitted as
the other type windows SO
are just as alright for
winter. They are economical
to fit for storm windows and
can be decorated in so many
attractive ways. I wouldn't
hesitate a bit on this score.

TWO CAKE RECIPES?

MRS. D. S., College Park
1 am searching for two cake

DARK FRUIT CAKE?
PLANT FROM COAI,o

miss N. J. s., Alexandria
About one year ago a recipe
for a dark fruit cake appeared
IN the paper. The amount of
fruits needed in this recipe
were called for by ounces in
stead of cups and it was mel
lowed with sherry.
Also, several years ago there
appeared in The Star the
directions for growing a plant
from coal. ! would great ap-
preciate it if l could have both
these items since I would like
to try them out.

Can some one tell me if there

Since it is fruit cake season,
could some one tell me whether
raisins add some special
moisture or acid to a fruit

raisins. so I wanted to substi-

QUERY?

(MrS. r. J. B., Washington
am very interested in a
solution for soaking pine cones
and logs for burning in the
fireplace which gives pretty
cofors. Does this really justify
one? I have seen pine cones
advertised in magazines to
burn in the fireplace with color
added, and since I have quite
a few pine trees around, 1
would like to try this, espe-
cially for Christmas.

plain TALK
By CAP Harrison

It sometimes takes a note from
others to make us wake UP and
realize what is going on before
our own eyes. The editorial in
the Whiteville News-Reporter con-
corning our own Evelyn Leonards
part in publicizing the Yam Festi-
val was certainly one she deserv-
ed.
Evelyn stayed so busy during
the weeks prior to the Festival
that one would have though she
were twins--doubting that one
person could get so much done.
She was not only responsible for
getting Tabor City in the news
during the Yam Festival-she does
1t quite often since she is the
press correspondent for the daily
papers. Even though she receives
slight compensation for her work
In the daily field it wouldn't be-
gin to pay her for the many hours
OF work she devotes to the project.

It's nice to have someone like
Evelyn around even if il does take
a prodding from the nearby neigh

aware of her presence.
Daddy, come in here for y

called his father into his bedroom
one evening.
Yes, SON. replied the father,

the boy. "1'm six years old-is that
right"
Yes, son-you're six years old"
his father treasured him.
And I'm old enough to 20 TO

queried the young boy in con-
fidential tone.

The sharp increase in CT home
load applications received by the
Veterans Administration during
August was sustained in Septem-
Der, although appraisal requests
for proposed dwelling units show
ed decline over the same period.
VA announced.
VA received 34,OS4 home loan
applications during the month
ending September 25. 1853, which
was nine percent increase over
the previous months total of 81
257 and the highest since April
1851, when 36,5l7 applications
were received.
Thus, the August and Septem-

The September increase in CT

During September. VA received

/ Using the same percentage cal
culations. the (inSert name of your
paper here)'S State Capital Bureau
arrived at totals and per capita
amounts for North Carolina peo-
pie. If the Department of Com
merce figures for the entire natino
are correct-and they are the only
reliable ones availablo-and if the
North Carolina consumer dollar
is divided in the same way as the
United States dollar. the North
Carolina figures would apply. The
reader should bear in mind that
the amounts are prcdicated on
these assumptions.
North CarolinianS anr Ameri-
cans spend 81 cents of their in
come dollar for food. AS indicated
above, it amounts to ST .O9O million
in North Carolina. or S268.34 per
capita. The comparable figure for
the United States as whole is
S422.86 per capita.
the second largest slice of the
income dollar goes for household
operations. approximately IL cents.
or not quite half as much as we
spend for food. This item includes
furniture, the largest single item
under household operations, appli-
anceS, fuel, household utilities. and
domestic servants. The. total for
household operations is S472 mil
lion, or tht equivalent to Sll6.l9
per capita.
Clothing and housing, in that
order. follow closely behind house.
hold operations. North Carolinians
spent S440 million for clothing
or SlO8.32 per capita. This total
comprised II cents of the total
expenditures dollar. HOUSING
which included rent paid or the
rental value i owned. represented
total expenditures of SAIL million
or SlOl.l8 per capita. or 10 cents
out of every dollar.
If North Carolinians art as
thrifty as other Americans. we
saved seven cents out of cvery dis
poSable income dollar we received
For the country as whit, 7l8
per cent of all diSposable income
was saved. Applying this percent
age to North Cardinals disposable
income of Si,0l9 would mean s289
million, or S7l.l4 per capita.
The extent to which we are n
people living on wheels is indicat-
ed by the fact that North CAROLYN
lans spent S4l4 million in 1852 for
transportation. which is equal TO
Slol.92 per capita. or almost the
same as we spent for housing and
clothing. A total Of 1924 million of
this amount was spent for the
purchase and repair of automo-
olles, or S79.84 per capita.
More than 5000 millioe was spent
last year on recreation, or almost
$50 for every man, woman and
child in the State.

Last year. North Carolina people
spent about seven times as much
for alcoholic beverages as they did
for all religious purposes. Ii to-
bacco products are added. Tar
Heels spent more than IL times as
much for those two items as we
did for religion.
Total expenditures for alcoholic
beverages during 1852 amounted
to Sl5l.5 million. which is the
equivalent to S37.4l per capita.
Expenditures for tobacco and to-
bacco products, which includes CT
garetteS and smoking materials,
amounted to $685. million. or S2l.-
&c per capita.
The total for these two items
adds up to S239.7 million. or S59.07
per capita.
BY way of contrast, North Caro-
lima people spent SD million for
all religious purposes. or S5.i2 per
capita.
The total OF Sl5l5 million spent
for alcoholic beverages is quite a
different figure from the total
sales of all State ABC stores last
