Women, to the BQrricddes!

drum to warn our Is million
women drivers to squash now
that ominous threat to teach
them about what goes on UNI

Resist, I say. Refuse stub
bornly to learn the difference
between a combustion cham
Der and a crankcase. Turn
your back on promises that
you can surprise your husband
by replacing your cracked
cylinder block or fixing leak
in your hydraulic system.
Whoever thought up this Ma

sored course for females on
what makes a car 60 Is the
worst enemy our sex has en-
countered since the serpent

To modern men, the woman

incompetent in backing and
parking, careless about garage
doors. driving slowly when she
should drive fast. Unless the
going gets really rough it won't
be necessary to point out to
male detractors that every
available per capita statistic
indicates this handy scapegoat
has fewer accidents than they.
and fewer arrests In every
category from speeding to TAX
ing one too many for the road.
Men need to keep their illu-
sions and I say let them.

WINGED that cleaning clogged
fuel lines and celebrating
sparkplugs will never become
a favorite sport of my sex.
Just the same. I wish to
make sure every woman real
ICES that all she needs to know
about an automobile is how to
start it, drive it and stop it.
Oh yes. she should also be
able to read-approximately
the hands on the various
dashboard instruments and
have enough sense when neces-
sary to ask the garageman to
filler. up. check oil, water bat
terry and tires. After that, if
anything untoward should
happen, her place is behind
the wheel or dropping beside
the car, so helpless and appeal
ing that some strong male
passerby will promptly offer
aid.
The proposed course would
bring nearer the day when
women will have to fix their
own flats-and ruin their best
linen dresses and manicureS in
the process. Nobody, includ-
ing the average man, really
wants that to, happen.
Let engines remain a mys-
terry, I say. and let ethyl, as
far as we know, be only a
girls name. If having fun
about women drivers so rein
forces the masculine ego that
it persuades the harder sex
joyfully to change our tires,
I say it's a small price for them
to pay. A motor is just about
the only thing men have left
to be superior about.

The feminine accent of a
bow has appeared frequently
in designer collections this
spring and it is an easy one
for you to adapt to your own
needs.
Bows can be large or small,
crisp or soft, and you may
find they suggest new ways to
use scarfs and so change the
looks Of a basic costume.
Higher Neckline
The very trend toward a
higher neckline means you will
want to fill in some of your
costumes and the softly tied
bow is an excellent solution.
Bringing the same upward
line to a deeply cut jacket
neckline is the crisp bow-tied
scarf with folds high in a
pussycat effect under the chin.
You may wish to give a
sheath dress midriff attention
with fiat pleated scarf and bow
tied low at one side of the
waistline.
Create back interest with
bow at the base of a V-shaped
neckline in narrow silk print
or with bow Topped at the CEN
ter back waist for after-five
drama. Even the long torso
line can be dramatized with
matching chiffon scarf draped
at the joining where skirt full
ness begins.
For the important bow. Sc
lect a fabric that is crisp and
that will hold its shape. Taft
feta shantung is a good
choice as is sari silk and Or
candle. Soft scarfs are of
chiffon, plain and pleated.
some edged with velvet or
flowers.
Polka Dots
Garry through the boldness
OF large bow with its color
and design. This season polka
dots are excellent. You'll like
patterned twill and the anus
ing conversational prints.
Solids in sheer soft shades
may be chosen to harmonic
rather than contrast with a
costume.
Learn the trick of changing
the look of a few basic out
fits so that you give the i'm
preston of having a rather
extensive wardrobe. Make an

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May
23-The setting Of two his
toric events in the birth of a
Nation has come alive in In
dependence Hall with the fur
nishing of the assembly room
much as it appeared from
1776, when the Declaration OF
independence was signed, to
1887. when the Federal con-
vention met in the same cham
Der to draft the Constitution.
The curtain went up on the
restoration yesterday after
noon.
First to see results Of the
intensive historical and archi-
tectural research carried out
by the National Park Service
were members of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
which. is making the project
possible.
The federation has contrib
uted over $4,000 for the fur
nishing of the entire first floor
of Independence Hall.
Scheduled to open its an
nual convention here tonight,
the organization was honored
yesterday in a ceremony held
in independence Hall for the
presentation Of the donors

contributing clubs and indi-
viduals who gave 500 or more.
Surprise Citation
AS a surprise feature. the
federation received a citation
from the national park serv-
ice in Acknowledgement Of the
debt of gratitude owed by
all Americans-for its splen-
did contribution to the pres
ervation and Interpretation Of
this pre-eminent historic
structure.
The citation was presented
by national park service di-
rector Conrad Wirth to Mrs.
Oscar A. Ahlgren. past feder-
alton president, in whose adj
ministration the fund was
raised, and Mrs. Theodore s.
Chapman, the present head of
the CIVIC.
Mrs. Ahlgren also cut the
ribbon leading to the as
sembly room which was
opened following the program.
Two Of the pieces now in the
assembly room are original
furnishings - the speakers
chair which was occupied by
George Washington while he
was presiding over the con-
stitutional convention. and the
silver inkstand in which dele
gates from the IS colonies
dipped their pens before sign
ing the Declaration of indie
pendence.
Several Of the Windsor chairs
are SO closely identified with
the period they could be origi-
mails. Two were made by
Francis Trumble who is
known to have made chairs
for the old Pennsylvania State
House (now called Independ-
ence HalD. Two others re-
Gently were acquired from the
Ziegler family of Lititz, Pa,
which has had them ever since
Conrad Ziegler (according to
family tradition) bought them
at a sale of State House furni-
ture about 1900.
AS it appears now the room
contains Is tables draped in
green baize - the speakers
table on the dais. Is delegates
tables before it and the clerks
table at one side. Grouped
about them are a number of
the Windsor chairs-probably
80 in all.
Adding to the scene are such
authentic items as genuine
18th century writing paper,
contemporary newspapers and
bound volumes of books known
to have been used by the dele
gates, brass candle holders and
a brass handbell similar to
one believed to have been used
to call meetings to order.

Science has made us valuable
gifts in these drugs which fight

who are given antibiotics have ell

even severe shock.
Most of these reactions can be

doctors orders exactly. Instruc-
tons which may sound unimport-

or sodium bicarbonate, drinking
lots of fluid-these are carefully
planned to protect you.
If unexpected symptoms de-

Another important precaution
is to destroy any drugs left over

Hazel Losses
Can Come Out
OF "a Taxes

Taxpayers whose PROPERTY was
wholly or partially destroyed by
hurricanes or other storms dur.
ing 1854 are entitled to deduct
losses on their Federal income
tax returns for 1854, L. A. Cham.
berlin, District Director of Intern.
al Revenue at Baltimore stated
this week.
Director Chamberlin reminded
these taxpayers that unless these
deductions are taken on the re-
turn for 1854, the taxpayer will
lose the benefit of them.
The deduction applies to storm
losses sustained on nonbusiness
property, such as a residence, as
well as on business property.
In the case of nonbusiness
property, the amount of the loss
is not the cost of replacement or
restoration, but is the difference
between the value of the property
Immediately before the storm and
its value Immediately afterwards
not to exceed the cost or other
basis of the property destroyed.
Such losses must be reduced by
the amount of insurance or other
compensation received on account
of the damage. Losses on account
of destruction of nonbusiness
property are deductible only if
the taxpayer itemizes his deduc-
lions. They cannot be deducted
If the taxpayer uses the optional
standard deduction.
Different rules apply in the
case of destruction by storm of
business property. In such cases
where there is a partial destruc-
ton. the loss is the proportion
of the adjusted basis of the en-
tire property. Such loss must
also be reduced by any insurance
or other compensation received
by reason of the damage.

Since that date, we have been
beseiged by calls from women
wanting to know how to become
ideal and men wanting to know
how to recognize the ideal" when
and if they met one.
But the Junior Woman's club
is coy. We received a communi-

Mrs. John C. Haltwanger,
president of the club, presided,
(glad to know that no revolution
deposed the president.)
Mrs. Robert Rapp introduced
the speaker, Mrs. Jewaise Wal

ished her talk, she asked to be
excused from the remainder of
the program and departed in a

it. Anything that came after

all waved to her with applause.
What did she say? Sorry, that
