HOWEhDLD hlNJTaj'l To toughen glassware and lamp chimneys, place them in cold wa ter, add a little salt and boil (or ten minutes. Then cool slowly. A teaspoon of castor oil or two tablespoons of olive oil placed about the roots of your ferns every three months will promote the growth. A leftover scrap of linoleum makes a good filler for the desk blotter. It gives a good surface on which to write and also wears well. ??? For those stubborn mud stains so common in spring, try this method of removal: Let it dry, then brush as much off as possible. Wash as usual and if the stain persists, sponge the spot with lem on juice, rub on salt and place in the sunshine, then wash as usual. ?o? Before wall papering or white washing, cover dark spots on walls with a coat of shellac. ?o? Don't have small rugs near the head or front of the stairs where people might slip on them. ?o? Uncooked smoked meats can be kept fresh and sweet in the re frigerator for a long time if they are wrapped in a clean cloth which was dipped in vinegar. Wring the cloth well and wrap it around-the meat, wrapping again in waxed paper before storing in the refrig erator. ?a? Small scratches on furniture can be hidden by rubbing them with a pecan nut meat. Deep scratches may be touched lightly with quick drying varnish, varnish stain, or white shellac. Apply with a finely pointed brush. Heavy scratches may call for refinishing the entire surface. ; ?a? To make strong flat seams in fl' dress you are sewing at home, stitch them twice?once the Width you want and again along the edge. This makes seams lie flat, and they seldom pull out. nTMiiriTTTirilinilK Tht * ??ling of fetlgeo My It , dtt to Constipation ,Yes, constipation can steal yoor energy.

Many things that would raise baseball to the household es teem enjoyed, say, by movies, ra dio, etc., are neglected. ? For instance, is baseball far be hind the time in putting emphasis on keeping it clean? Isn't baseball los ing its appeal by insisting that the athletes conduct themselves with good taste? Isn't scandal essential today to popular appeal? ? A movie star gets into a series of disgraceful episodes and is featured anew in heroic war roles! Another screen hero sounds off publicly in a night club on his private love life and his fan mail doubles! A young lady becomes an overnight rage through a particular catlike person ality! ? Isn't it possible that the mob would tear down the baseball park gates to get a look at a southpaw who had just survived three indictments for cradle snatching? Wouldn't the at tendance be trebled by the appear ance of a shortstop who had divorced two wives and was romping around the gay spots with a new sweety? ? Maybe the tailing off in baseball attendance last year was due to the fact no club carried enough gag men to flood the press with wisecracks which the ball players thought up in the swankiest bars in town? ? We pause for a reply. And we're afraid we will get it. * Another job a promotion man might fackle would be to put more emphasis on food at the ball games. Eating has become the Number One sporting project and athletiq feat, anyhow. Why not glamorize the hot dog? ? Thousands would flock to the ball park upon reading a newly contrived advertisement: FRANKFURTERS AND NINE INNINGS OF " ' " BASEBALL AT POLO GROUNDS TODAY t P. M. ? And can you imagine how this would raise attendance: "A SAND WICH, A BAG OF PEANUTS AND A DOUBLE HEADER FOR 75 CENTS." ? Promotion. That's the idea! On with it, boys! And how about name orchestras and dancing under the stands when a game goes flat? ? * ? THE KIDS' DEFENSE (After meditating on recent lapses on the part of the young folks.) Low moral standards we're above, Our honesty's true blue. It comes from observation of The things our elders do! The fine example that they set (We see It everywhere)? By grabbing every chance to get It easy here and there! Our ethics they are kept aloft By merely looking at Our elders seeking something soft, And waxing rather fat. We gee the grownups merely wink At virtue driven low. And when we feel our morals sink This helps as, don't yon know! the uwyers who doui einies uui Yet for a fancy fee Will work for any crook at an. And strive to set him free. . . . Those politicians shrewd and deft? The gimme-gimme erew? Those fixers to the right and left? They help the kids, they doll Those movies foil of grease-ban gays? The slickers glorified. . . . The happy ending as It tries To Justify a snide. . . . The spotlight for the cheap "font bans," The psmkeroo and heel. . . . Oh, how they help the kiddies aU To keep an even keel!!! ? ? ? A big New York department store is now specializing in diamond sales. We remember away back when no shoppers ever dreamed of getting up early to get bargains in precious stones. * And. believe it or not, money is so free today that we saw a group of housewives knocking one another down to get a 20-carat stone marked down to $5,456.89 from $5,457.00. ? ? ? Awah-h-h! "Our last scruples must now be cast aside and we must be cruel and inconsiderable. We must mur der and poison."?German radio spokesman. The sight of the Nazis casting a scruple at this stage of the game must be one of the great spectacles of all time. We don't see how they can do it in view of the Nazi scruple shortage. There hasn't been a good scruple around Germany in years unless somebody has been hoarding. Spring Bride in Lovely Array; Dutch Lace Bonnet Is in News By CHEHtE NICHOLAS SPRINGTIME is bridetime and this year those who cater to the bride-to-be clientele report a re newed interest in the traditional wedding with all its picturesque frills and furbelows. Even if the event needs must be hurriedly tuned to the bridegroom's brief furlough, there is a special service available in many shops and departments de voted to outfitting the bride and ber attendants at a few hours' notice. For the bride-to-be that clings to the idea of a picture wedding such as has been her dream of dreams, the stately gown of gleaming white satin with its imposing long train maintains its style prestige as 6f yor^This spring thise sumptuous 'satins have a way of taking op be guiling touches of pearl embroidery about neckline and sleeves. The latest models are coming in with pearl-embroidered midriff sections. A charming innovation also, is the huge bustle bow at the back, which achieves a refreshingly new sil houette. Lace enters definitely into the spring wedding picture, either in the all lace gown or combined with chalk white crepe. There is also a decided trend toward the sheerest of sheer materials for the youthful bride-to-be. The gowns fashioned of mousse line de sole, marquisette, net and dotted swiss are visions of loveliness. Recognizing that much of the glamour, romance and prettiness of the bride depends upon the head dress and veil arrangement, design ers are turning their time and talent to creating lovelies to wear on the prettily coiffed heads of both the bride and her bridesmaids. These are so varied there is sure I to be some one outstanding type so flattering to the bride it seems as if it must have been made just for her. The attractive coronet which the bride in the picture is wear ing is made of the same fine il lusion as that which fashions the fashionable short-length veil. With utmost artistry the designer has interlaced folds of the illusion over a wire support into a lattice effect. This beautiful model, so classic in its simplicity is regarded as one of the outstanding success fashions of the season. The big highlight in the spring wed ding picture will be the little Dutch bonnets of starched lace. They come in flattering off-face types that flare out wide from side to side, also in cunning little baby-bonnet types and they are simply adorable, worn by either bride or bridesmaids. They are perfectly charming in pas tel for the bride's attendants lend ing theius?ly?f beautifully to cos tume color schemes. The furlough bride, who wear; a youthful suit in some one or other g( the lively pastels so fashionable this spring, can wear nothing pret tier or more flattering than an off face starched lace Dutch bonnet, either matching the pastel of her suit or frock or in white, if her costume is in the new pusiy-willow gray. Another grand thing abouj these cunning little bonnets is that worn later on with light cotton frocks they will be just "darling." Since bridesmaids are expected to play a decorative role, designers are turning out just one intriguing novelty after another that will add charming accent to their costumes. One of the most eye-thrilling whim sies shown this season is the set of hat and muff that is made either of dainty net of sheerest mesh or en tirely of ostrich in delicate pastels. The bridesmaid, shown to the left, is carrying a wispy muff matching her off-face crownless brim that is elusively sheer. The long stream ers at the back tune to the color of each costume. Released by Western Newspaper Union. New Border Print I This eye-appealing Easter cos tume is a (lowing example of what is meant in the "dreae-up-for spring" slogan which the world of fashion has adopted as its very own this season. The border print of which it is made is one of the fash able color - on - white background types that are making conversa tion this spring. It has the button down-front fastening that has taken on new fashion emphasis this sea son. The pert little hat made all of white violets sings a spring song, which is echoed in the exquisite open-work patent shoes and the im maculate white gloves. Coats Are Gay Little Flatterers This Year When the new coats come out you'll know it's spring (or they are as colorful as the flowers that bloom. The pastels and the exquis ite off-whites together with a soft feminine styling does something to the new coats that carries them en tirely out of the ordinary. The new short lengths for coats and the flare at the back interprets an animated silhouette that is very youthful and flattering to most any figure. In tricate stitching, glamour buttons, dramatic light fur on the cuffs, sometimes braid work and trapunto quilting, embroidered design and the use of self-fabric bows on the dres sier designs speak for ultra style distinction. Fsshion spotlights the white coat and it has a big future ahead. The whites that are in the news are the off-whites such as white wine, and subtle tints that give the impression of being white. Hat and Bag Sets Made of Gayly Colored Soft Yarns It's color, color, color that reigns supreme in the fashion world this Easter, and along comes the pret tiest hat-and-bag sets made of featherweight yarn to tell you so. These colorful whimsies breathe the very breath of spring in their delicate coloring and how charm ing they will look worn with the Eas ter costume. The new peach-basket shape hat together with its match ing roomy under arm bag throws your whole costume in a joyous mood. They interpret the highest in needlepoint craft. Sharp Contrasts in Hats Coming It promises to be a season of startling contrasts in hats. Some are towering to remarkable height. Oth ers are that flat they are made at straw plaques arranged on a ban deau to tip over the forehead in the manner of the charming little chapeaux so admired in Watteau portraiture. a ?!??>?? to <uura Nmptpw Vatcm. WHAT GOVERNMENT 18 COSTING C. S. TAXPAYERS WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE, had settled all the bills for World War I we had a national indebtedness at Just SB billion dollars. In 1B21 we be gan whittling that down, and con tinued to do so even alter the en actment of a reduced nut rate in 1B38. By 1B31 that debit had been re duced to about 17 billions. For the past 14 years, Including the last year of the Hoover adminis tration, we have had deficit govern ment financing, spending more than we received. By 1B40 that national indebtedness had again Increased to nearly 50 billion dollars, and then, a year later came the war. With the opening of World War n congress began increasing the federal tax burden. The amount col lected each year has Jumped from some 5 billions up to more than 40 billions of dollars, but the extra taxes, heavy as they seem, have paid only about 61 per cent of the war cost. The civilian activities of the fed eral government have continued to cost more each year than the prewar taxes would pay. Without the war costs, and with only pre war taxes with which to pay, our national debt would now be well over 60 billions. With war costs added, and despite the doubling and tripling of federal taxes, our na tional indebtedness has grown, up to November 30, 1944, to the enor mous sum of $216,537,000,000. To that must be added better than 4 billions of debts of the various gov ernment sponsored corporations. For the fiscal year ending Jane M, 1*45, congress has ap propriated 599,769,600.000, Irat it seems possible that only some 85 billions will be spent beeanse of lagging war contracts, bnt by that time the national debt will be very close to 396 billion dol lars. To pay Interest on that will cost as collectively better than $3,759,999,4M. It all means that we Americans have placed a mortgage on our col lective wealth, a mortgage that by June 30 will apiount to just 9bout 300 billion dollars.. That mortgage covers our homes, farms, livestock, bank deposits, insurance policies, merchandise, factories, mines, for ests, everything that has a valuta To each of us as (ndivduals it means 9 Mortgage amounting to a trifle more than $2,300 fgr east) man, woman and child. For the average family of Ave it Is more than $11,500. On it each individual pays, on an average, just about $28 each year, $145 each year far each family of Ave. The consumer* of America, of which all of ns are a part, most pap the principal and Interest In the form of taxes. We pap with each loaf of bread or potmd of meat, with each farm Imple ment or sail or other garment. Everp necessitp or laxnrp wo hop has included In the price we pap a portion of that princi pal and Interest. At the best wo ean do tt will mean continuing to pap for close to 1M of the future pears. The men who fought to preserve our freedom, and their children will pap jnst as will those of ns who were on the home front. We eaa bo thankfnl to everp member of congress who votes against the spending of aap un neeessarp dollar In the conduct of the government. see A LESSON IN INFLATION?COURTESY OPA OPA GAVE THE THRIFTY a les son in the operation of inflation aa it affects money and ration points. Those who had carefully saved points; who had lived on stews and neck bones or other cheap cuts at unrationed meats; who had raised their own vegetables that they might have the wherewith for ths canned varieties to go with that lus cious grade A ribbed roast they had saved for and were anticipating, and then the points they had so carefully saved were as worthless as German inflated marks. What happened tc our thriftily saved points could hap pen to our saved dollars should wi have the kind of inflation from whict China is suffering. Those hoarded dollars, upon which ws havi counted, would be worth no mori than the ration points the market man tore out of our books and threw in the waste paper pile. The govern ment promises us protection for out dollar values bp preventing infla tion. OPA promised that any saved ration points woold always be good and expendable at full value at any time, but OPA reneged on that promise. ? ? ?
