First thing we know A fsw reinforcements at proper places will improve the wearing quality and appearance at your gar* ment quite out of proportion to the time you apend on It Strengthen the e^d of a placket with a few extra stitches, or stay it by sewing a tape across the end on the underside. Make dress and apron pockets more sturdy by laying a piece of tape on the underside of the garment in line with fee pocket -top. Stitch it in with the corners. Rework raveled or weak buttonholes. Resew snaps or books and eyes securely, and resew loose buttons with string thread, leaving a shank of thread so that the buttonhole can slip under the button without straining the cloth or puckering. Replace sleazy trims, which make a garment look cheap, with more durable trimming. On some garments, collar edges, neck openings, belts and sleeve openings can be strengthened and made more attractive by a row or two of topstitching. * • IY - , / Poor • • Wool / Poor wool feels harsh ancT greasy and baa a slight odor.

He says he won't; he'll play one of those awfully virile he-men, and he thinks curls would look sissy. Director Albert Lewis thinks curls would be historically correct, and he's an excollege prof and should know. What* ever happens, Sanders will have a sweeping mustache; he won that argument. --*-- Virginia Keilly, a British film actress who's just arrived in Hollywood to work for RKO, gave up her place on a fast ship to a G.

James Monroe was elected to a second term in 1820 he received 231 electoral votes against one vote for John Quincy Adams. YOUNG BOY DRUGGED • ij A 15-year old Belvidere boy was jjound lying in the alley near the Marengo bowling alleys one recent evening apparently intoxicated. Maj- engo police and a local physician were called. The physician- made an examination ajra • according to the diagnosis the boy had not been drinking, but was drugged. It was learned that he was employed by. the mayor of Belvidere, who called for tea.-. Fowl Fare Muskrat meal, fed to baby chicks in Louisiana, gave results superior to ordinary meat scraps, shrimp and fish meals. On a chemical basis, 8 pounds of muskrat meal has the same amount of crude protein as 10 pounds of meat meal and it gave greater gains per chick up to 8 weeks old. Broilers fed rations containing dried muskrat were served to 26 families who found no objectionable flavors in the meat. School Lunch Your child's school lunch is important! Unless he gets milk as a beverage at three meals it is difficult to get in his quart a day. Also, because of the child's smaller stomach capacity, dividing his food fairly equally between all three meals is much better than having him "catch up" at a heavy dinner at night. Packed lunches are apt to be monotonous and unbalanced unless milk, fruit and vegetables are included. Highly seasoned foods, stimulating beverages, and sweets should have very little place in the child's diet. Fruit or milk desserts may be added occasionally. RESTAURANT LOSS Loss estimated at $2,500 was caused by a fire at the George Stancliff restaurant and bar at Half Day one recent iritfht. Flames were confined to the second floor and an attic. Considerable damage was due to water which was poured on the blaze by the firemen. Flames burned a section of the roof. Vegetable Economy Oils From the standpoint of domestic economy the most prominent vegetable oUa are soybean, cottonseed, and peanut. In times of normal world trade tremendous tonnages of palm, coconut, and other less wellknown vegetable oils are imported into this country for processing into various types of food fats. Die odorless and flavorless characteristics of this group of fats are achieved only through the usual commercial practices of refining, bleaching and deodorizing. In the raw state, they all have characteristic, and, to American palates, undesirable flavors and odors, due to foreign ingredients originating in the fruit, husks, or seeds from which the oil was expressed. - iK m Ironing Tips The wrong side of the garment is often the right side for ironing. Clothing specialists advise ironing on the wrong side all dark-colered cottons, also linens, rayons, satin weaves, crepes and wools-- the last always protected by a pressing cloth. When garments of these fabrics are turned to the right side, they may need to have a few wrinkles smoothed out, but the less the iron is used on the right side, the better the appearance generally. White and light-colored cottons aro ironed on the right side. Heavy fabrics or parts of clothes that aro double in thickness generally need to be ironed on both sides. Embroidery may be smoothed out quickly on the right side, then ironed on the wrong side over a thick, soft pad or Turkish towel. If the fabric shows shine where it is pressed on tho right side, press over a cloth or tissue paper. __ TRIPLET 1 YEAR OLD James Andrew Trimble, Barrington's surviving triplet, was 1 year old Tuesday, March 26. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Trimble, who tipped the scales at four pounds, six ounce's when he was born at Sherman hospital, he now weighs 23 pounds.

City Dwellers Over 57 per cent of Ohio's nearly 7,000,000 citizens live in cities of 10,000 population and over. Inland Fisheries- The cold water fishes are primarily a recreational resource and are the most valuable of the inland fisheries. Old City The oldest city in Indiana is Vindennes, founded in 1732 by Frsncois Baptiste Bissot Vincennes on the site of the Piankashaw Miami Indian village Chippecoke. It also was the first capital of Indiana territory. Rice Culture Rice production and rice milling are very different in the United States and Brazil. In the U. S. rice is grown in irrigated districts, but in Brazil an upland rice is grown during the rainy season. While Brazil grows only one type of rice, the 8. S. has several different varieties, either does Brazil have huge rice mills such as in the U. S. But rather many small mills scattered about the country. Mr. and Mrs. E. H.

Cuts Fire Hasard The fire insurance industry is particularly interested in the value of paint from a fire protection standpoint. Unprotected wood has a tendency to weather and dry out until it becomes like tinder. Paint, however, keeps wood in good condition, so that a wooden building painted is less likely to take fire than one that Is unpainted. Another important %>olnt is that in order to paint it isfirst necessary to clean up, thus* eliminating the hazard of accumulated refuse.
