Two Hike Across U. S.
In Record 81 Days

NEW YORK, June II (AP).
Two doughty British SER
geants strobe into New York
today after hoofing it across
the United States in 81 days
10 less than a transcontinen-
tai mark set in 1910.
The sergeants, Patrick Molo-
ney, "a, and Mervyn Evans, 80,
emerged from the Lincoln Tun-
mel into Manhattan at 9:58
am, maintaining their cross
country stride of Az miles per
hour.
Their long jaunt carried
them more than 5000 miles
from San Francisco here and
was a feat no one had at
tempted in "a years.
Asked how his feet felt, Sergt.
Moloney replied:
They sure feel fine now"
Both told newsmen that
they were happy" to be in
New York at last.
They didn't break their pace
as they headed for the end of
their journey, the British Trade
Fair in the New York Coliseum.
About 20 persons were wait
ing at the New York end of the
Hudson River tunnel as the
pair marched onto the side
walks of the city.
The last to tackle a trans
continental walk was Abraham
L. Monteverde of Mays Land
ing, N. J. He did it in 70 days
10 hours and 10 minutes 4 in
1926.
However, the record up to
now generally was credited to
Edward Weston. In 1910, at the
age of II, Weston strolled
from Los Angeles to New York
in n days. The distance was
listed then as 3,483.
The previous year, Weston
had walked from New York to
San Francisco in los days. The
mileage was put at 1896 miles.
Another footloose Briton,
vegetarian DR.. Barbara Moore,
had set out from San Francisco
for New York on the same day
as the sergeants. However, she
fell behind. She was hospital

being hit by a car but now is
on her way again.
The sergeants voiced praise
for the wonderful people" they
said they met on their way
across the Nation.
With plenty of time to look
things over, they said they had
seen everything" along the
countryside. They summed up
their impressions:
"A fabulous country"

stitches per inch); avoid out
side stitching, use taffeta for
facingS to avoid the bulk Of
two layers of pile fabric. I
recommend lining the dress
with taffeta.
To press, it is advisable to
use a needle board. Place
right side of fabric against
needles and cover with a
lightweight pressing cloth.
Press gently with steam iron.
If you do not have a needle
board, press on wrong side
with steam iron, using a
pressing cloth.
But never let the weight
of the iron rest on the fabric.

SEAMS
TO Me-.
Pressing Versus Ironing;
Tips on Handling Fabric

Luxury fabrics need special
care both when sewing and
pressing. A delicate velvet or
tulle cannot be treated in the
same manner as a sturdy
cotton. Learn the different
procedures before attempting
to work on a fabric new to
you.
QUESTION What is the
difference between pressing
and ironing? This confuses
me when I read the tags that
come with fabrics.
Mrs. T. T. NJ.
ANSWER-When you iron,
you push the iron along the
material. You would do this
when ironing a mans shirt.
In pressing. you do not
push the iron along the ma
terial, but use steam and
pressure.
You raise the iron. put it
down firmly, then lift it again
and set it down firmly at the
next part Of the garment to
be pressed. Either a steam
iron is used. or a pressing
cloth is used with a dry iron.

QUESTION-Can you tell
me how to use the weights
I've heard about? I'm told
they are put in all or most
good coats and jackets. Is
this true and does it do some
thing for the garment? Where
do I buy them?
Miss ID. F.
ANSWER-It certainly is
true. Using weights at the
hemltne Of a jacket or coat
will keep the front edge open
ing and hem from curling up.
especially when the fabric is
bulky.
You can purchase weights
at any counter that sells
sewing notions for clothes or
draperies. They come in vari-
GUS sizes and the heavier the
fabric the larger the weight.
First. f1atten the weight.
especially at the edges, by
hitting it gently with a ham
mer. You can use it without
doing this, but t1attening it
will eliminate the chance of
its bulging when sewn into
the garment.
Then, cut out q square of
fabric and cover the weight.
Sew 1t to the upper edge of
the hem at seams, as illus
trated.

QUESTION - Is there a
special way to cut and sew
velveteen? How do I press
the seams open? I would
appreciate 1t very much II
you would help me. Mrs.
r. ]. p.
ANSWER-Yes, velveteen
requires special handling,
mainly because of its pile.
When cutting, follow the cut
ting layout in your pattern
for fabric with nap. Place
all pattern pieces in the same
direction. with the pile run
ming up for a richer color.
To prevent marring, use
fine pins or needles when
pinning. Sew with a medium
