Send Appeal to

In an open letter addressed
TO the Governor of the Virgin

"The automobile, unfortun-

SEAMS TO ME-
How to Press
Velvet Material

It's q great help TO own
all necessary pressing equip
ment, but there are usually
other ways of accomplishing
any Job without II.
y
Question: Many times
you've mentioned a needle
board" for pressing velvet and
I've tried to find one but TO
no avail. What can I do with
velvet without the use of this
pressing aid7-MRS. j. C.
Answer: There is another
method. AS shown in the d.
agram, stand your iron UP
and cover with a damp cloth.
Hold the velvet UP and run
the wrong side Of 1t against
the covered iron. It will press
seams and steam out wrinkles
fairly well. Never put the iron
on the pile Of velvet, because
this will give 1t q terrible
shine.
Question: How do you make
corded tucks. I always break
the stitching Miss T. B.
Answer: You enclose the
cord inside the tuck as you
stitch. First mark the stitch
ing lines for the tucks with
chalk. Then place your fabric
over the cord with the cord
TO the wrong side Of the
fabric. Basic the tucks, en-
closing the cord. Then. ma
chine stitch on the right side
very close to the cord.
Use your cording foot ma
chine attachment or make
very fine hand running
stitches.

Administration officials have
about completed the drafting
Of legislation for standby au-
thority to regulate interest
rates Of savings and loan as
sociations, as well as banks.
Under present law, the Fed
eral Reserve Board is required
to fix interest ceilings for
banks. There is, however, no
Government authority at pres
ent to fix interest payments by
savings and loan associations.
Under the proposed legisla-
ton, the Federal Reserve Board
no longer would be required
to fix interest ceilings for
banks. 1t would, however.
have the authority to do so II
1t saw fit.
Under the standby authority,
1t would not be necessary that
all interest rates either by
banks or savings and loan as
sociations be uniform national
ly. Allowances could be made
for different areas where in
terest rates by savings and
loan associations vary from
normal rates in other areas.
Another provision Of the
proposed legislation is ex-
pected to extend to savings
and loan firms the present
conflict Of interest rule applied
to banks. Under this, banks and
their officers are required to
deal at arms length with
other companies In which they

Arizona State, ranked fourth
in the Nation and quietly eying
all the marbles, has stormed
past the last major obstacle
in its path to the Western Ath-
letic Conference basketball IT,
tie and a spot in the NCAA
tournament.
Coach Ned Wulk's speedy
Sun Devils raced past Wyo-
ming, 1912, last night and all
but nailed down the conference
title and the NCAA spot. The
loss eliminated Wyoming from
title consideration and left only
Brigham Young with an out
side chance of catching the
team from Tempe.
The victory improved the
Sun Devil conference record to
I'll - the only loss a previous
upset by Wyoming-with two
league games to go. They close
out against New Mexico and
Arizona, teams the Sun Devils
have handled easily earlier this
season. A victory in either game
secures at least a share of the
top spot.
The triumph at Tempe took
some of the sting out of an
1881 upset at Wyoming earlier
this season and advanced the
Sun Devil season record to a
sparkling 21-2.
