Here Are Helpful Answers
To Some Sewing Questions

When combining two pat
terms, it's wise to use those
that were made by the same
company. Also, first be sure
that it is possible to COM
bine the two patterns you
have in mind.

Question: have a shirt
waist dress 1 love, but I'm
not too fond of the sleeves.
Can I use the skirt and bodice
Of the shirtwaist pattern and
combine it with the sleeves of
another I prefer?-Mrs. S. P.
AnSwer-That depends on
what type of bodice the other
pattern has. Here is a rule to
follow if you plan to use a
different sleeve on a bodice.
A shirt-type sleeve cannot be
used on a dart-fitted bodice,
and a sleeve from a dart
fitted bodice cannot be used
on a shirt-type bodice. This
is because the shoulder and
front armhole of a shirt-type
bodice are cut differently
from those on a dart-fitted
bodice. Therefore, use only
a shirt-type sleeve on a shirt
type bodice and a sleeve from
a dart-fitted bodice on q
dart-fitted bodice.

BY PATRICIA SCOTT

Answer-A round eye is
used if the edges meet, and
a straight eye is used when
the edges overlap. To sew on
a straight eye. place the hook
a bit back from the edge,
and the eye exactly opposite
the hook. Sew over and over
through the rings until it is
secure and be sure to fasten
the thread well at the end.
Sew through the rings of the
hook in the same way and
then hold the hook end in
place by making several
stitches under the hook (see
illustration). To sew on a
round eye, extend the eye
slightly beyond the edge and
attach the same as the
straight eye.

opening leaQ. DlamOnQ deuce. |
One way to try for the grand
slam in today's hand is to draw
trumpS and take the diamond
fineSSe. If West has the queen
Of diamonds, you make the
slam; if East has the queen
you 60 down.
Another way is to set up the
dummy. Take the ace of dia-
mondS, cash the ace of spades
and ruff q spade high. Get
back to dummy with the queen
of clubs and ruff another
spade high.
Lead q trump to the nine
and ruff dummy's last spade
with your last high trump. Now
lead your last trump to the ten
and lead out dummy's jack of
trumps to discard q diamond
from your hand.
If the five missing trumps
break 80, you make the grand
slam. If either opponent has
four or five trumps. you go
down.
Which Is Better?
Which plan is more likely to
succeed?
The diamond fineSse gives
you a so per cent chance. The
chance that West has the
queen of diamonds is equal to
the chance that East has it.
The chance for a 80 trump
break is 68 per cent. There
fore the dummy reversal is a
better plan for the grand slam.
A simple pair of rules will
help you remember the basic
principle Of bridge probability. |
The odds favor the most equal
break Of an odd number OF
cards. The odds are against
the most equal break of an
even number Of cards.
A finesse. therefore, is not as
good as 81 break, a 80 break
or a 4-3 break. A finesse is
better than a "a break, a 3-3
break or a A break.

Transplant PerennioIs
Now

Many perennial plants that have
strong dumping tendencies, will
do better next year If they are
divided and transplanted late this
summer or early fall, says Robert
F. Stevens. University of Delaware
extension horticulturist.
Such plants include iris, peonies,
June Towering chrysanthemums,
lilies and hardy spring Towering
bulbs.
| Stevens recommends transplant
ing at this time of year so the
plants can start root development
and produce some growth before
| freezing weather sets in.
After separating the plants. set
them firmly into their new lOca-
ton at the same depth they were
before, making sure the roots are
we'll spread. Then firm, but do
not pack the soil. Take care to
minimize the injury to the roots
and other plant parts during trans
| planting. Stevens cautions.
Water the plants with enough
water to mOisten the soil to a
depth of 6S inches.
Using a light sun shade to pro-
tect the plants from intense sun
light after they have first been
moved may help them recover
from the shock of transplanting.
Stevens advises. A bushel or peck
basket placed over the tops of the
plants makes an excellent sun
shade because it let's air and some
sunlight in. Newspaper can also be
used. Just lay it lightly over the
plants and weight the corners
down with stones. Keep the sun
shade over the plants during the
hottest part of the day. AS the
plans become stronger, it can be
left off for longer periods until
it's finally removed.

The exhibit will give home
makers the answers to these prob
lens and others. Opening with the
story OF Americas heritage of
Westeren livestock production, the
story shifts to the problem of the
modern livestock producer today.
He must raise a quality meat-type
animal for a highly competitive
wholesale market in the face of
rising production costs.
Consumer demand for better cuts
for less cost necessitates mass
production and greater manage
ment efficiency of animals before
slaughter.
Because the American housewife
demands tastier cuts of meat, more
beef animals today are held to
maturity. And since the modern
honemaker asks for more lean
meat and less fat at her super
market, the farmer turns more and
more to meat-type animals capa-

foundation for our own nation but
established a pattern for many
other nations seeking liberty and
justice under law.
"On December 7 OF that same
year, thirty Delawareans-ten from
'ach OF the states three counties
met here In Dover and by una
nous action gave to the little state
of Delaware the honor of being
first to ratify this Federal Con-
stitution. The Importance Of this
action is indicated by the fact that
we still proudly refer to our State
as The First State and Delaware
is always accorded the place of
honor at national celebrations and
gatherings.
Down through the years, this
Constitution has safe-guarded the
principles OF liberty, justice and
opportunity for all Americans and
provided a framework for the
growth and progress of this Great
Nation.
