Practice Pesficide
sofety Always

Few animals have a greater cur
iosity than a puppy dog or a little
toddler. It's a real joy watching the
pair roam the farm, peeking into
this, shifting at that. But what if
their curiosity happens to take
them to some discarded insecticide
cans thrown on the dump, or to
some half-filled bags of pesticides
sitting on a shelf in store room
Then your joy of watching a grow
ing boy and his dog may we'll turn
to grief, says Ed Ralph, As

label it came with. You'd be sur
prised how often tragic mistakes
are made by using the wrong ma
terial.
When the Delaware and o t h e r
extension specialists speak at a
meeting they go into many specific
details. But these boil down to just
one thing: Wear your thinking cap
as long as pesticides are used and
stored around the farm and home,
Ralph said.

DEPARTMENT STORE SHOPPERS

Shoppers this fall will find prices in
items found in department stores mostly
unchanged from the fall of 1861. Stocks
which are being bought and have been
bought for fall indicate, with some certain
ty, the same prices as last year.
There are a few exceptions to the gen.
eral trend, especially in women's coats and
leather goods.o These items will probably be
slightly up. Mems wear, suits, and coats
will be approximately the same price with no
increase. An increase is expected in the
spring.
Last fall, the department stores enjoyed
a high volume of sales, approximately five
per cent over the fall of 1860. This year,
they expect another rise of about two or
three per cent, even though many of the
stores dlave reduced their stock orders by
about ten per cent.
Inventories will then be slightly down
though sales are expected to be slightly
above last year. Many of the same items
which department stores retail are also
retailed by discounters. Discounters are re-
ported purchasing much more aggressively
than are the department stores.
Although this phase of our economy does
not affect other industries directly, it has a
very direct relationship with the general
public. Many timess these sales will reflect
the health of our economy.

MANAGED MARGINS

When the Federal Reserve Board drop
ped the stock market margin requirement
from 70 per cent to so per cent recently, it
was following a practice made possible by
the securities exchange act of 1884 and
employed every few years since then.
At the time of the 1929 market crash,
there was no such thing as a government
set minimum, although stock brokers and
customers negotiated their own margin
rates. The federal requirements have in
cuded such variants as 40 per cent in 1915,
100 in 1916, a9d so per cent, as at present
in 1949.
In general, high margin requirements
meaning the amount of the purchase price
which must be'paid in cash-are intended
to slow down over-enthusiastic speculation
in buying of stocks. Lower margin rates
will, it is hoped, tempt more buyers into
the market. The recent move of the Fed
eraOReserve Board has been interpreted as
an indication that the government not only
wants to strengthen a fiuctuating market
but looks ahead to the. advantages of greater
financial support for companies in need of
capital funds. But it also indicates that
Washington does not expect large-scale
movement of money out of other investments
into thS stock market.
A margin requirement is only one factor
in the complex financial and psychological
makeup of the nations business on Wall
Street. If the newerate change can help to
promote stability and moderate growths in
the market, it will serve its purpose. So far
the reaction seems good.

general history of the United States as well
as Europe, and possibly a few of the earlier

women have been welcomed
to education, but few have
been urged to use it.
Convinced that women are
better wives, better mothers
and far happier people when
they have some engrossing
outside interests, she ac-
cepted the Radcliffe presi-
dency with the hope of fos-
tering this idea.
Not long after she took
over, in November of 1860,
she established the Radcliffe
Institute for Independent
Study to help qualified wom-

The institute, according to
a Radcliffe brochure, seeks
to provide a complement
to orthodox higher educa-

The real distinction be-
tween men and women, on
the level of creative activ-

DR.. Bunting says, is in the
pattern of their lives: 1--WE

Dior Skirts Still Short,
Suits in 1906 Mood

PARIS, Jan. 25 (AP>-'
Extra short skirts and low
waists with blouse-like tops
and sculptured shapes high
lighted the spring and sum-
mer collection presented to-
day by the house Of Dior.
Designer Marc Bohan in
a striking presentation also
showed suits Of heavy tweed
with masculine checks and
pinstripes. with loose blouses
reaching Just below the waist
and straight skirts.
Early-day wear was almost
serious, with black and white
checks and white striped
grays.
The suits recalled the 1930s
in mood. and dresses were
definitely from the 1920s.
Pressed Seams
Suits had straight skirts
that looked like well-folded
oblong paper bags, with ridge
stitching standing out like
pressed seams on mems
trousers.
Afternoon dresses turned

was a white bloused navy
shantung ensemble with q
lew oval neck trimmed with
wide ruffles. Surprises came
in printed tulle fabrics on
harvest themes, also with
ruffles.
Suits were identified by
English sounding names
which fitted their blacks,
whites and grays and their
mannish moods. Yet they
were not unfeminine.
Keynotes were three over
blouses. There was a gray
pinstripe, a gray and white
check, and a black and white
pied de poule. all made Of
wool.
Skirts were almost always
rectangles with edges marked
by the ridge stitching. The
general look: Narrow but
easy.
Low hips were marked by
leather belts which appeared
just below the edge of the
overhlouse. Skirt lengths
were extra short.
Color came in conserva-
lively around lunchtirne with
navy blue. One model called

front by ribbons of the same
fabric.
Coats were bright. with a
striking saffron model look
ing like a lemondrop. It re-
peated the theme of the rec
tangular ridge scanned skirt.
Dress pleats reached from
neck to skirt. There were
crepes of pastel green. orange
and pink with panels of
pleats in the center Of the
dress or on the side. Prints
were often black and white,
like paint strokes, or melted
straw and field flower colors
on tulle.

other collections this week.
Most original was a lattice

Cocktail and evening
dresses were varied In mood
ranging from a poetic "old

model called LAS Vegas"
which looked like a golden
neon signal gold thread,
pearls and TERED ruffles.

. DIR. Mary Bunting, presi-
dent of Radcliffe College and
a great promoter of creative
and scholarly activity for
women, told a joint luncheon
of the Harvard and Radcliffe
Clubs here yesterday she sees
a national surge of interest
in the so-called educated
woman.
She observed this recently
on a coast-to-ceaSt tour,
she said, adding, Essentially
this is not an interest in
women, but an interest in
active, educated, focused in
tellects no matter how pack

Hank Aaron an outside possibility. Mays
