The "comfortable look" father than the "new look" Is always the beat style for the youngest generation. New fashion /eaturea, such aa added frilla and furbelows, which r*-v have sales appeal to mothers, tend to detract from a little girl's appearance and make for discomfort aa well, notes Uargery L.

Drcsea e'so should wash and iron «-*s<lv and be easy to alter as the cHH f -ows. For comfort, frocks should hang straight from well-fitted shoulders, rnbolted and loose to allow freedom of movement. Children of this age do hot have definite waistlines, so belts rnd sashes may be unbecoming: as w?ll as a nuisance. Belts get lost in play end sashes become untied. Necklines should be ample so that the dress does not bind around the n?ck or come up so high under the chin that the chUd has difficulty In managing the top button. Sleeves and armholes should be cut so that they are easy to get into and do not restrict movement of the armar!

Wharsaa SS years •To the pulp mills tn this region used about 148,000 oords et k*'--• fir, in 1916 they used 8T8J00 ooctto of this species. With the oonstaatly decreaamg suppUea of spruce, long the favored pulping spedes, balsam fir has consequently assumed new importance. Because of growing difficulties (both legal and economic) of pulp* wood importations, many lake states pulp mills have been buying forest land ao that they could grow at least a part of their wood requirements. Much of this land, however, needs reforestation to bring it to high productivity. Becauas, it makea high quality pulp, grows rapidly, and is the native conifer, best able to withstand brush competition, balsam fir seems to be a good species to plant or seed on many of these areas. Balsam fir aeed Is of medium size, more or less brown in color, and roughly quadrangular in ahape. The aeed, like that of all true firs, is borne^ in pairs at the baas of the scales* of erect cones, which begin to fall apart on the trees soon after maturity. Seed collection must be don? before the cone scales begin to separate. Cones may be collected from the tops of recently felled trees. They ahould be examined to see that the ased is firm and fully mature. State of Illinois, CoUnty of McHenry, ss." In the Circuit Courts of McHenrv County, Illinois. "^j I IN CHANCERY--Gen.

Clerking ' *4 4 ' ^ j on the old Charles Nienhaus farm atout 7 miles northeast of Woodstock JpbMits of Oange Dear Prior to the 1920'a the housing of automobiles was not a matter of too much concern. Owners of cars in those days either kept their cars in storage garages or in the barn or carriage shed. Early In the 1920's people began to acquire autos who didn't have a place to keep them, and the residential garage came into rreneral use. Cars then approximated five feet in'Width and an eight-foot garage door opening became standard. Since that time, however, the cars have yearly become longer rni wider. Along about 1935 the building trade recognized the trend to longer cars and changed the then standa-H lS-foot garage'depth to 20 feet. It wesn't until 1946 and '47 models b> gan to be delivered that the public generally began to realize that the c'.d standard eight-foot opening was a rather tight fit. Some builders now have adopted eight-six as their standard door. Dectora Study Atomic Medlcbsp • Army medical center tn Washington. D.
