AS soon as the curtain dropped
on the act, Cooper left for the
lobby. He was promptly sur

protesting indignantly that Victor
Herbert had stolen the melody of
a local boy who was entitled to
make good. What was he going to
do about it? Cooperis friends were
getting madden by the minute. The
theater manager darted over to
see what the trouble was.
Cooper quickly grasped the sit

Ne,O Fabrics Make
AH-Season Dress
Wise Investment

The woman who Sews has learn
ed that fashion is an investment,
and that it pays the biggest divi-
dents when it is not limited to
any one season.
This year the feather weight
woolens widely available at every
piece-goods counter are winning
top popularity for all-season out
fits. The airy six and seven
ounce woolenS of 1854 are ad-
mirably suited to clothes that will
see a woman through a summer
vacation and go right on through
fall, winter and spring.
With all the sewing aids now
available to home SeamstreSSeS,
practically any woman can turn
out clothes with a custom-made
look. Modern patterns carry ex-
plicit cutting and sewing direc-
tions, and practically every COM
munity offers some kind of sew
ing instruction, either free or at
nominal cost. Here are some tips
from experts, on how to select
and handle fabrics:
Il. If you are not sure just what
fabric you want, don't hesitate
to consult your sales clerk for
detailed information on colors,
textures, weights and care of
fabrics.
2. When combining plaids or
stripes and plain colors, choose
the solid color to accent the most
subtle tone of the plaid or stripe.
Also allow a little extra for match
ing when working with patterned
fabrics.
3. Coordinate rough-textured
tweedy fabrics, with the smoother,
lighter-weight woolenS appropri-
ate for dresses.
4. Always choose your pattern
before you buy your fabric, and
take it along with you when you
shop for the fabric.-AP News

Those boys and girls didn't

II a child so much as sneezed, his

his whole class.
AS a result the pool had a clean
health record and was kept open
the whole school year.
It's too bad we can't build up
that kind of a spirit among the
people who use our public pools.
But you can do your part and
see that neither you nor your
children go into pool with any

could be transmitted in the water

Local Union Is
Host To State
Plumbers Meet

Shoemakers' wives 60 barefoot
and plumbers wives can't get
leaky faucets fixed. At least that's
what the majority of wives who
accompanied their husbands to the
AF of L Plumbers convention say.
The convention, held at the Casa
Marina Hotel, opened with a ban
quet on Saturday night when To-
cal union 764 played host to dele
gates representing plumbers
unions from every major city in
the state.
One of them said that the get
together was one of the most sue
ceSsful conventions ever held be-
cause of the hospitality and friend
ship shown by Key WesterS.
''Key West is just wonderful, "
a wife of one of the plumbers said,
1--WE were expecting the weather
to be unbearable at this time of
summer but actually it is quite
mild"
"Key West is a beautiful place, "
Mrs. John Hamilton, wife of Day.
tona Beach plumber, said.
She was asked if she had any
trouble getting her husband to take
care of the plumbing in her home.
She answered, GIVE learned to fix
my own"
Mrs. H. K. Rule, also from Day
tona Beach, said she has been try
ing to get her husband to fix a
leak for the last five years.
''He says he can't get a washer
to fit the spigot, so I've been using
pots and pans to collect the water
that drips."
An observer said that plumbers
are like good mechanics who don't
always fix their own cars.
The state plumbers union meets
three times yearly. James Hanson,
president of the local union was
master of ceremonies and made
the introductions.

Who doesn't like to cool off on a
hot day with a dip in the pool?
It's refreshing and it's fun.
But pick your pool and the time
you use it.
Pools are great places to pick
up all sorts of infections. Know
how to avoid them.
In the first place, the pool itself
needs to be safe. In and near
cities, the health department u.s.
ually inspects every pool to which
the public is admitted. It's in
spectorS make sure that the flow
of water is adequate, that the pool
is properly cleaned and that the
right amount of chlorine is put
into the water.
It's the people using a pool who
cause the greatest trouble. The
more people, the greater the haz-
ard. One person with a sore
throat, a cold or a skin infection
can put enough germs in the wat
er to give a dozen other people
his illness. It's not feasible tc
put enough chlorine in the water
to prevent the spread of infections
of this kind.
If everyone would be careful not
to 60 into a pool whe he has any
kind of a communicable disease,
our pools would be less of a health
hazard.
A pool out in the bright sun is
safer than one indoors. The sun
kills off germs quickly.

it was possible to make it. If
anyone caught any illness in the
