SEAMS TO ME

There are many belt-mak-
ing kits available with just
the right amount Of betting
plus a buckle and instruc-
tons; however, If you prefer
to buy betting by the yard
and separate buckles, here is
a simple way to make a pro-
fessional looking accessory.
/. Cut the betting 5 inches
longer than your waist meas
urement. At one end, make a
point.
2. Out Of your dress fabric,
cut q lengthwise strip the
width Of the betting plus 70
inch, and two seam allow
ances.
8. Turn the seam allow
ances under (not including
the "a inch) on the sides and
fold one end to form a point.
Trim the corners. press and
haste.
4. Pin the fabric belt to
the betting. The folded edges
should go 1/16 inch beyond
both side of the betting and
the pointed end. Basic the
fabric belt to the betting.
5. AS in figure A, machine
stitch " inch from the folded
edge along the sides and
the pointed end, leaving the
straight end free where the
buckle will be attached. Re-
move the basting and press.
8. To attach buckle, cut q
long narrow slot for the
metal tongue of the belt.
Place the tongue through the
slot, fold belt end to wrong

measure your waist. Then,
make o hole in the belt the

of the buckle. Make three or
four more holes on each side
Of the first hole, n inch
apart. To make a neat hole
use a stiletto. If one isn't
available, a nail is a good
substitute.

Before acquiring any area for

Public Authority Proposal

would create a new public park

The legislation, to be sub

David f. Byrd, an architect

He contended the proposals
emphasized the central business

residential areas where severe
parking restrictions" have been
created by the "inconsiderate
attitudes Of planners" in lay

WHEN LINCOLN made his

When the Washington

The
Rambler
Looks for
Lincoln in The Stur
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

When Lincoln finished
reading his first inaugural
address to the great crowd
in front of the Capitol on
March 4, 1851, he gave his
copy with hand-written al
terations to Crosby S. Noyes
of The Evening Star. This is
the speech with the famous
penultimate paragraph:
I'm your hands, my dis
satisfied fellow country
men, and not in mine, is
the momentous issue of
civil war. The Government
will not assail you. You can
have no conflict without be-
ing yourselves the aggres-
sors. You have no oath regis
tered in Heaven to destroy
this Government, while I
shall have the most solemn
one to preserve, protect and
defend it."
1t was not the practice
then to give advance copies
to the press. At the con-
clusion of the MONDAY cere-
mony, young Noyes had to
make the mile to The Star
Building at Eleventh and the
avenue as fast as he could.
The compositorS, setting
type by hand, turned out a
remarkably fast and &C
curate job, and the first pub
lication of the since-famous
speech was on the street
that afternoon.

A SPIN THROUGH the
Civil War issues of The Star
on microfilm in anticipa-
ton of this 154th birthday
anniversary of The Great
Emancipator was bound to
be rewarding.
After all, that is where
most writer's on Lincoln
and the Civil War start.
Before the war The Star
reflected local sentiment by
opposing the Abolitionists.
AS Washington has grown,
an old gag has continued:
That a native is a rarity.
A native must have been
rare indeed in the Civil War
days. Such a one was Will
liam Douglass Wallach, who
owned The Star during the
conflict.
He was born on the east
side of Ninth street near
Pennsylvania avenue in 1912
two years before the
British burned the White
House and the Capitol.
Today we think of the
political South as starting on
the other side of the Poto-
mac, but in Lincoln's day,
Washington was definitely
In the South.
The Mason-Dixon Line,
tnen the division between
slave and free States, was,
and still is, about 80 miles
north of the Capital.
When the conflict came,
Wallach was for the Union
and The Star was steadfast
against local "sesech" in
fluenceS.
AS for young Noyes, there
was no doubt about his SEN
timents. He came from
Maine.
There were periods during
the war when Noyes and a
man named Tucker we're the
entire staff.
