Protection

A demand has been made
that "hoodlums who prey up
on our citizens" be appre-
hended and punished. It was
made in an open letter sent

full well the men cannot be
everywhere at all times, but
we do ask for more protec-,

of our city," she wrote. =
TT seems existing laws are
not adequate and there Is a
need for more men to meet

Appropriations to create
new agencies and clinics seem
to be of no avail"
Mrs. Gates pointed out that
the federation is an organi-

Mrs. Quarles, whose late
husband was the Deputy Sec

knocked down by an assailant
on a well-lighted corner at

very often adjustable. A
choice of cummerbund or belt
may be offered. The choice
of making a dress with or
without a jacket is often
given.
In fact, the very same pat
tern can sometimes be used
for sewing a cocktail dress
and later a casual summer
cotton. Or the same pieces
that are used for an elegant
pair of Longing pajamas may
be used for a pair of denim
clam diggers. A beach coat
pattern may be used for a
formal evening coat. Just a
bit of Imagination can trans
form any McCall's pattern into
practically anything you want.
Good examples of the
versatility of one pattern are
the two dresses pictured
here. Both are sleeveless and
high WASTED. The solid blue
linen, however, is dramatized
by a wide collar, so very
popular this season. Small
pockets are placed at the
waist seam and three blue
bone buttons close the front
bodice. The collar might
have been made in a puritan
white or a blue and white
polka dot. In either case, the
freshness and YOUTH full feeling
of the dress is maintained.
The same pattern (McCall's
Pattern No. 4981) is used for
the lovely print dress. Here
a sash is stitched to the
dress at the center back, IN
serted through carriers at
the front and gently knotted
under the bustline. The round
neckline is deftly placed at
a not-too-high and not-too-
low point.
The interesting fabric Of
white and two shades OF
lavender has a dot within a
dot and is shantung.
Whether the collar, sash OF
both are used, a wide SEE
lection of fabric is available.
Polished cotton, lightweight
wool, synthetic mixtures,
printed silk, faille or crepe
might be considered.

Tip: Look your pattern over
carefully and pick out the

make it. Put the other pieces

But what may come as :
