Clathlng Specialists Reveal 'Tricks of Trade* in Sewing There are "tricks to all trades," and a few short cuts may help with the housewive's sewing problems. Having all sewing equipment together will save many steps. A machine, iron, ironing board, table space, storage space and a box for small sewing equipment are required." Oiling the machine saves time and keeps the machine in good condition. An iron to press wrinkled patterns also is essential, say clothing specialists. Keep scissors, thread, needles, ruler and pins in one small box. A wrist pin cushion is convenient and easily made. Use cotton, wool or velvet, stuff with wool or hair and sew to an elastic band. Time saving equipment includes tailor's chalk, hem gauge, bias cutter and cording foot. A basting brick makes hand work less tiring. Make it by padding and covering a plain building brick and then pin the material to it. Keeping scissors sharp is importtant. Put an emery board flat on the inside of the blade and go clear to the tip of the scissors with each stroke.

Total dividends left with their companies by policyholders, to accumulate at interest, for the first time tornpd $1,000,000,000 at vear-end. "Policy dividends in 1947 were $35,- 003,000 greater than in 1946. an in- , of 7 per cent," the institute sa-d. "Tills Increase reflected the "ic-tcr volume cf life insurance ownr- 1 c.:-.d the greater ape of the bulk of policies rather than higher dividend scales. "Actually, the 1947 dividend scales, whore they differed from those of !T1G. Ren orally reflected lower rates cf r.fund, due to continued declines in earning rates. Earning rates, mortality experience ar.d operating expenses are the three npJor factors which determine thq, f'ividends to be paid year by year. Dividends paid to policyholders are not dividends in the usual sense, but refunds on premiums paid for participating policies." ; ... Curinrr th? yaar, $221.66(^600' of the policy dividends coming due to policyholders were used to pay policy premiums. This was the most extensive use. accounting for 41.3 per cent Of total dividends. Double the Irobing Board To Save Mb, Says Expert Wide board to fit en top of th^ regular ironing board of standard size for ironing linens, draperies, men's shirts, and other large pieces, will save many lifts of the iron and shifts of clothes during ironing. Use board that can be put on or off the standard board as needed, says Ruth Current, New York State college home demonstration agent. A width' of 20 Inches is suggested for this board. In an ironing study made by Now York state specialists, it was found that this was as wide as any of the women hi the study could reach at their preferred ironing height without bending forward. F*5r cotr.fvtrtcble, efficient ironing an up. n~I't posture is neccssary. even while reaching the full width of tlje board. This allows free movement wi'Jibut strain on., neck, arms or b ick. * The length of the board should be about 42 incHes--or slightly lor.getthan thfe board on which it fits. Orife end may be tapered for convenience in slipping clothes over. Cut the beard from st-inch playwood or five-ply wall board. Fasten wooden cleats on the underside to fit it to the lower board. To hold it more firmly, wood" en buttons may be screwed onto the cleats which may be turned to clamp on the under board. , . • • New York state housewives Jvhb made the first tests of the wide b6ard in thei^iortles reported that it .saved I5t>er cent on the time spent on their weekly ironing. On this 20-inch wide surface, a man's shirt needs to bn moved only three times in ironing.
