The Investment Bankers AS
ISOLATION, however, objected to
the emption on several
grounds. Mr.. Acheson said he
now agrees with their position
that If insurance statesmen are
going to sell two products-in-
surance and variable annuities
they should be subject TO two
sets of regulations.
Difference in Payments
Variable annuities differ from
other annuities in the amount
paid back by the insurance
company. A fixed sum is paid
back under regular annuities
but the payments under vari-
able annuities are determined
by the earnings the insurance
company gets from its invest
ments.
Mr.. Acheson said the associa-
ton spokesman also argued
that If securities dealers
started selling insurance they
would be regulated by the Dis
trict's insurance commissioner.
He said his greatest concern.
however, was that the controls
over conduct and standards Of
operation, as well as the sane
tons provided in the securities
measure, offer more protection
to the investing public than
present insurance rules cover
ing statesmen dealing in vari-
able annuities.
The prosecutor noted that he
had changed his original posi-
ton on the exemption of vari-
able a nnuity statesmen after
numerous conferences a nd a
detailed study of existing and
proposed laws.
Maintains Position
Mr.. Bryan. however, is stick
ing to the position that vari-
able annuity statesmen should
be exempted from the securi-
ties legislation.
Mr.. Acheson said he has
been told that the District
Commissioners will meet this
week TO determine whether
their position has changed on
variable annuities.
The House District Commit
tee has been waiting for Dis
trict representatives TO settle
their differences in order to get
the widest support for the long
awaited legislation.

The recommendation is one

use is important, TOO, according
TO Miss Reed. Too little de-
tergent won't have enough
cleansing power to remove the
soil, and too much detergent
actually protects the soil from
the full effect of the machines
cleansing action. The amount of
detergent you need depends upon
the volume of water used and
the hardness of it. Research
shows that best results are
found when all-purpose, low
sudsing detergents are used at
the rate of 3/8 to 3/4 cup for
each 10 gallons of soft water.
A little more detergent may be
needed If water is hard. Using
more than the best amount is
like putting too much sugar in a
cake - not only is the result
poor, but the cost increases.

Research shows that Is to 20
minutes are the maximum time
needed TO wash clothes for the
best soil removal, Miss Reed
says. Lightly soiled clothes are
cleaned in less time. You're
defeating your own purpose If
you leave clothes In the same
water any longer, because soil
will re-deposit on them and they
will be more soiled in 80 min
utes than they we're In the
shorter time, says Miss Reed.
For extra-soiled clothes, better
results are obtained by wash
ing them a second time in fresh
water and detergent.
Hot water - about 100 de-
grees - removes more soil
than cooler water, so use hot
water if the fabric permits.

cottons are safe In hot water,

Knits & MOhair
Hand-in-Hand
This Spring

Mohair is fast becoming a
popular fabric for knit garments
and is being used for sweaters
in dozens of different designs
and even for coats. In fact,
this spring you might want to
choose a full-length coat style
sweater In 100 per cent tmohair,
lined with silk, says Miss Janet

ialist at the University of Del
aware.
Sweaters In a wide variety of
styles will feature new ideas in
stitch and design, and fabric
combinations will also vary. A
vailable In popular price ranges
this spring will be combina-
tion of 90 per cent mohair, 80
per cent wool and 10 per cent
nylon.
Mohair knit garments are
manufactured in several ways.
One Italian producer of hand
knit sweaters employs thou
sands of homemakers on part
time basis. Knitters are train
ed to produce sweaters to meet
quality standards, and an intri-
cate design may take eight to
ten hours knitting time or about
three weeks on a part-time
basis. The women knit to sup
plement family income.
American nitwear indus
tries are also producing a wide
assortment of sweaters, ski
outfits and sleepwear for all
ages.
Read the labels for fiber con-
tent and care instructions, Miss
Reed advises, and then buy the
knitwear article that best meets
your needs.

resolutions is to feed your fam
lily better meals In 1868, you

challenge, according to Miss
Janet Coblentz, extension nu-
triton specialist at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
To do the best job of feeding
your family, she suggests that
you take a look at current food
habits and then decide how you
can improve the poor ones.
Gaining weight7 Need more ex-
ercise - or less calories2
Perhaps your family needs to
eat more vegetables - espec-
tally the green and yellow We
getables which contain vitamin
A, a vitamin In short supply
in many American diets. A
small serving of carrots or
spinach is more nutritional than
a large serving of corn or peas.
To help make them appeal to
the family, try varying the ways
you serve vegetables. Raw We
getables should be fresh and
crisp. and cooked vegetables
should never be overlooked,
Miss Coblentz advises.
If breakfast is a neglected
meal at your house, try to find
out why. If your family does
Mt like conventional breakfast
foods, serve something differ
ent. If breakfast time is rush
time, concentrate on quickly
prepared foods. Even some hot
cereals require only a minutes
cooking.
Whatever kind of breakfast
you serve, be sure 1t includes
fruit or fruit juice, a protein
rich food, milk and a bread
stuff. These are foods every
one needs to start the day right.

The 1868 spring pig crop to-
tailed more than so million head

the number of farrowirgs was
slightly less, but the increase in
| pigs saved per litter from 7.O3 in

offset the decrease in farrow-
ingS.
The economist says prices dur

However. the number of cattle
and broilers slaughtered will
certainly have an effect.
