Gordon Features, 9th floor, Resor building, 37 W. Seventh street, Cincinnati 2, Ohio, sending along a stamped self-addressed envelope.) By Anne. Ashley Q. I recently altered the length of a velvet dress, but the old hem marks are still showing. How can I remedy this? A. Hold tho affected areas •iver the spout of a steaming teakettle and, at the same time, spray alcohol on the marks with an atomizer. Before the velvet is quite dry, brush it bark and forth, with and against the nap, with a soft brush. This routine may need repeating for complete success. Q. Is there a good homemade glue that will stick glass to glass, leather to metal, or other such unusual combinations? A. Try burning shellac in a dish to get rid of the alcohol, and the result will be one of tho strongest and best all-purpose glues you've ever used. Q Any easy suggestion for cleaning leather upholstery? A. Try using some stale beer for cleaning this leather. It usually works real well. Q. Plow can I remove butter stains from materials? A. Ordinary laundering usually removes these from washables. Sponge unwashables with carbon tetrachloride. An absorbent can bo used on delicate fabrics (fuller's earth, Cornstarch, French challi^or talcum powder). Dust it on, let remain until the fats have been absorbed, then brush off -- and repeat this process if need be. Q. How can I recondition seme of my furs? A. Try this: Wet the fur with a hair brush, then brush against the nap. Hang in the air until drv, then beat lightly on the right side with a rattan. Finally, oomh the hair out carefully into place. Q. How can I rewhiten some linen that has become yellow from long storage? A. You can bleach this into whiteness again by letting it soak in buttermilk for two or three days. Q. How can I make some good furniture and floor dust-v ing cloths? A. Soak old pieces of flannel in paraffin oil overnight, wring out tightly, and wash in luk ' warm water, then let dr Those cloths will gather aii dust, and also import a nice polish to furniture and floors. Q. How can I prepare my thread for easier and more efficient quilting? A. Immerse an entire spool of thread into hot paraffin, anil lot remain about five minutes. This will wax all the thread on the spool, and since the thread will not then knot, you can d«> a better job. Q. How can I prevent rubber overshoes from constantly slipping off at the heels? A. Cut two strips of chamois and glue them insido the overshoos, up the backs of the heels. Q. What can I do about candy stains on clothing? A.

Use lukewarm water and by Russ LmuiMtD According to a medical authority, there is no reason most of us can't live to a ripe old aSe -- say 125 -- if we but "do the things we know wo ought to do." This expert stumps strong! y for exercise, largely strenuous to be beneficial, but he cautions against overdoing thusl.v: Exercise is too strenuous if th< heart refuses to stop pounding 10 minutes after exercising; if breathing is still uncomfortable 10 minutes afterwards; if tho individual is still shaky mo> than 30 minutes afterwards: if fatigue carries over into the next day.

THIS WEBK'S HOUSEHOLD HINT: Men; If you run out of shaving cream, your wife's cold cream will do .nicely. suds, lifting the garment np and down in the water. Rub badly soiled parts with a soft brush. Rinse in clear water, and hang up without squeezing or wringing out the water. Shake occasionally while drying. When dry, raise the nap by stroking with » roft brush in the same direction as the ribs run. Au automatic dryer is ideal for corduroy, since it fiutfs up the nap as it dries. Q. How can I renovate leather shoes that have become hard and stiff from a soaking in the rain? A. you can soften them by first washing in warm water, then rubbing either glycerin or castor oil thoroughly into the leather. Q. How can I make my own putty? A. By mixing linseed oil with some sifted whiting to the proper consistency. Q. Do you advocate the use of cleaning fluid for white felt hats? A. Not too much, since this could turn the hats yellow in time. Instead, mix equal parts of cornmoal, salt, and flour, and rub this into the felt. Let stay overnight, then brush out thoroughly. Or, make a paste of plaster of paris and benzine, rub over the hat, and let dry before brushing off. Q. How can I remove finger marks from my wallpaper? A. Dampen the fingermarked area with cold water, then dust on powdered pipe clay or iulier's earth. After a few minutes, brush off with a soft brush. Q. Is there an easy way to add luster to linoleum without actually waxing it? A. One good way to do this is to add a little sour milk to the rinse water when you wash the floor. Q. How can I brighten up dull-looking pewter? A. Drop a small lump ot potash into a quart of water, and soak the pewter in this for at least 24 hours. Then take it out and rub all over with a cork dipped in olive oil or mineral oil, following this up with a brisk drj -chamois rubbing. Q. What can I do when my freshly-baked cake sticks to the bottom of the pan and threatens to break to pieces as I remove it? A. Turn the pan upside down and lay a cloth wrung out of cold water on the bottom of it. After a few minutes, the cake should come ont easily, without crumbling. Q. How can I clean teacups, I I smart-cuts for women I by Magg'n Lovtwtll I How often have you said: "OH, MY ACHING BACK!" Well girls, (and men too) doctors tell mt many backaches need never happen if a few everyday precautions are foll o w e d . T h a t c o m f o r t a b l e mushy-soft chair is a real killer. Sitting in it night after night just weakens the back muscles, and the simple act of getting up and out of it can injure many backs. G.t a firm mattress, especially if you sleep on your side (you need the support). And Mom, raise those work surfaces to avoid as much bending as possible when ironing or cooking, or even diapering Baby. Never lift heavy things by bending over. Squat down to use your knees instead of your back to lift up. SWEETEN S P O N G E S , MOPS OR DISHCLOTHS by soaking in baking soda solution. Gets rid of those stale odors. Got some swell hints the other day on BUYING SLEEPERS FOR KIDS. It there's a zipper, make sure it locks and isi bar-tacked at both ends. At the feet, check for reinforced soles--fabric or laminated plastic does the job best. Any snaps on the sleeper will hold1 best if backed with firm tape so they won't pull away from the garment. And measure distance under the crotch -- you may need the room for extra diapers. Maggie Magic: No matter what you're sewing -- striped discolored either by tea or coffee? A. By wetting with viuegar, then dipping a damp cloth into salt, and rubbing these stains away. Q. How can I redeem vegetable glue that has become dry and hardened? A. This will soflen up to usable consistency again if you'll add hot vinegar, drop by drop, stirring as you go. curtains, a plaid blouse, dress with floral design--to MATCH UP FABRIC PATTERN at the seams, always baste seam carefully before final stitching. You can FREEZE COOKED FOOD safely. And that's true of any cooked meats, poultry or even beef stew. That the meat may have been frozen before it was cooked doesn't affect it. As long as it's the first time the "cooked" food is frozen, it will retain its flavor and won't spoil. Cool food as quickly as possible after cooking. Put in refrigerator or ice water until ready to package in small portions. It will now freeze and thaw much faster, retaining its original good, cooked taste. You can make last year's RUBBER OVERSHOES more presentable for the coming slushy season by washing in water containing Jew drops of ammonia. Then give them a thin coating of liquid shoe dressing. WAXING FLOORS is always a job, but you can make sure you get best results, plus better-looking, longer-lasting floors. Jutt choose the wax best suited to your flooring material and equipment available. Use paste wax on wood floors (especially if very worn or very new). Never use paste on tile. Liquid cleaning polishing waxes are mostly all-purpose, except for tile. But careful! They both tend to yellow light floor coverings. Use seif-polishing waxes on light-colored floors and tile; on others (including wood) only when finish is in good condition. Never use on worn floors of those not water-tight (unsealed cork, concrete, etc.). Use buffable type with a floor polisher; the non-scuff type without.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner -- time to worry ABOUT THAT TURKEYBIRD. By the middle of this week you shpuid have consulted your butcher about your turkey. Start clearing space for it in your refrigerator before you pick it up. If it's a fresh bird, arrange to get it the day before Thanksgiving. If it's frozen, get it the Tuesday before so you can defrost it the safest way--in your refrigerator. Average 10-12 lb. bird will defrost in 48 hours - for a large turkey, plan more defrosting time.

The "Wizard" is being put on at the McHenry high school on Nov. 23 and 24 at 2:30 in the afternoon by the McHenry Children's Theatre group, under the direction of the very able Ann Varese. These performances are being staged for the benefit of the McHenry Girl Scouts, and tickets can be obtained from any of them. The children from the classroom for handicapped have never had -the opportunity- of seeing a live stage production. and the Otebfal Pal^ 'tlfoup feels this will be a very worthwhile project for them to enter into, since the.- play, is one which can hold the interest of children of all ages.
