How can I repair the plastic frames of my eyeglasses, which have broken? A. Mend these with acetone. sold at most drugstores. Place the broken pieces together, holding firmly, then dip the end of a matchstick or cotton swab in the acetone and touch to the broken sections. Repeat until the acetone, has melted the plastic around the broken area. The pieces will fuse together and harden in about 30 minutes. Q. How can I remedy gloves whose fingers are a little too tight? A. Insert a clean, cold curling iron, into each finger. Open the iron slightly to stretch gently, pulling the iron out slowly at the same time to avoid "fan" shaping of the fingertips of the gloves. Q. How can I make a good job of cleaning the plaster joints between the tiles in my bathroom? A. Scrub these joints with a cloth dampened with kerosene. and they'll show up white again. Q. How can I make my own skirt-marker for the dresses I make at home? A. Fill an empty soup can with old candles of paraffin. Melt the wax. and let it cool. When about ready to set, insert a yardstick, putting the low numbers down in the can until it touches bottom. Prop it so that it will be straight and set firmly. Keep a piece of chalk in the top of the can on the wax, where it will be handy. « Q. How can I repair the cracked handle of a hammer? A. Wrap some friction tape around the handle and then, to precent from unraveling ana fraying,, coat with shellac, varnish, or a waterproofing compound. Even household glue will do. Q. How can I clean spilled fingernail polish off Vugs or clothing? A. Use any acetate (banana oil), available in drugstores, to clean this up. Q. What can I do about varnished chairs durihg the summertime, when the clothing persists in sticking to its surface? A. Treat these chairs l>y rubbing well with a clpth dampened .with turpentine. Then rub briskly with a cloth moistened with boiled linseed oil. Let the surface dry thoroughly after each application. Q. How can I cut buttons off coats without danger of cutting the fabric? A. Slide a thin comb between the button and fabric, and the teeth ot the comb will protect the material from damage while you cut the threads with a razor blade. Q. How can I pack watches, jewelry, and other delicate objects for safe mailing? A. You can pack them into a rubber sponge, which has been split almost in half lengthwise.

"Sick ears have hidden ailifients the same as sick humans do." said the National Safety Council today.. "The )eriodic safetv-check is the only way to disclose such ailments, just as the periodic visit to the doctor is the way to urn up hidden health problems." According to the Council, a non-governmental agency organized in 1913 to prevent all kinds of accidents, cars suffer attacks of "vehicle virus" in 10 crucial areas: Brakes, headlights; rear lights and turn •signals, tires, steering and wheel alignment, exhaust system and muffler, windshield wipers, glass, horn and rearview mirror. 1 The Council's comments on j the abundance of sick cars on j the highway come during the annual National Vehicle Safety- Check, which is held in May and June -- just before motorists begin long vacation drives. "A minor auto ailment," said the Council, "can easily become major under the stress and strain of turnpike driving. And even if you don't travel on the high-speed highways, the extra wear and tear your car will take in vacation driving can cause serious trouble. ; "A vehicle safety-check can turn up dangerous conditions before they .have a chance to cause a traffic accident," it said. • i McJBeftry American Legion Post N<*. 491 CARNIVAL June 30--July 1-2-W Kids' Nite, June 30 All Rides . 10c AEROSOL *i1U Flitv KilU 0 0 I NooiQKk Sot* to o 2 OK.
