New uses for these seeds, until row a wsste product in the production of milkweed floss, will make possible the introduction of milkweed cultivation in the permanent agricultural economy after the war;. It is pointed out.: Prior to the war little attention was given to the commerical value of milkweed floss and the oil from the seeds, and the overall economic and agricultural picture was not favorable for the establishment ft any significant milkweed industry in this country, the report declares. However, as a result of the stoppage of kapok imports from the East Indies, the seed hair of milkweed floss has become of great technical importance, and recent tests have indicated its superiority over kapok. Although the plant is perennial and grows wild in many sections of the United States and Canada, a large amount is being cultivated to satisfy the great denfand for the floss. The pMnt is liardy and requires little attention after'the first year of cultivation, and its growth is valuable in preventing soil ero- Washing Q Jilts Wash quilts in war n, sudsy water and rinse two or thre- times in clear : warm water.

BETTE DAVIS in I ~ By CHERIE NICHOLAS All signs point to an active social season. The zest for formal parties and gala events sure to take place during the coming months as. a welcome tt> home-faring men, now that the Victory is won, means that there's going to be much doing this fall and winter in way of entertaining and being entertained. Which from a fashion viewpoint calls for pretty clothes and more pretty clotHes. t Designers are especially interested in turning out charming evening coats that will measure up to the new luxury standards fashion has set for the coming winter festivities. There will be many velvet capes and coats, ever so many of them sequin-trimmed. It is the shorter lengths that will prevail. Velvet is showing forth in all its glory in the evening fashion •'picture'.'"Then, too, the embroidered wool coat is coming in for high honors this winter. Some of the wool coats embroidered with gold thread, colorful wool y.irn, beads, sequins or nailheads are eye-thrilling. Stunning is a red wool mandarin coat that has a wide hemline border of embroidery done in black braid and jet sequins. In another model of black wool the yoke styling that extends out over the shoulders is very smart looking, and gorgeously colorful, in lhat the yoke is enriched with an allover embroidery of gold thread and multi-color sequins. White ermine banding embellishes a straight-line shortie coat of transparent black velvet.. A handsome rich black velvet cape for formal wear has a collarless neckline and a broad jshoulderline which is exquisitely trimmed with silver sequins and bugle beads. White fur coats and jackets are in high fayor for the very young miss as well as her mother. The pride of the young set is the brief (just below the waistline) lapin jacket with its simple quaint early Victorian line and its full threequarter- length bell sleeves. This is strictly an evening wrap but this season the flair for the white fur Coat is so widespread among young girls, designers are meeting the demand by turning out beautiful coats of various inexpensive furs that are so simply fashioned they serve both for daytime ar.d evening wear. The new cloth shorties that are lavishly trimmed with fur bandings or wide cuffs of rich fur play a double role as they tune smartly to both daytime and evening wear. DASTARDLY TRICK!

There are "blind spots" in flie range of vision of ^rivers, insufficient attention has been paid to protection of eyes of driven fcgainst glare of sun or headlighta of approaching cars at night, and the side and rear vision of drivers afforded by the piresent design of automobiles leaves much to be desired, say the motorists who complain of seeing hazards inherent in their vehicles. "There is a definite hazard in the two front corners where the moulding obstructs the vision in present models," asserts one driver. Another motorist urges that rear windows be made larger so that hazards from the rear might be seen more easily, especially I when stewing down or backing up. One mofaqitst writes that "vision is an integral part of safety as well as comfort, especially for women and shorter men. ' Forward vision is not half good enough, What with high fenders and hoods in front of low seats." Oh, Yeah! Mack--You know the capital North Carolina is quite a place. Jack--Really?
