18^ Mkna , When a Feller Needs a Friend rehiring hit visit kom* die President dropped in on Eddie Jacob son, his old pvtner in the hat store.m-News Item J ?Well, Ed, how goes it? Eddie? Pretty good, Harry. How Dad are things in your line? President?They're not good. Eddie?I gathered as much from the papers. Lately every time I got to thinkin' that I had troubles. I just toought of you. I ain't felt so sorry for anybody since we sold that shirt with the short tail to the tallest man in town. President?Believe me, Ed, I can use your sympathy. Eddie?Being President ain't what it's cracked up to be, eh? President?Not even close. Mind if I just sit down and look over the stock? Eddie?I ain't got much stock, Harry . . . just a few hats and ties left after the holiday rush. President (admiringly) ? That's okay. Hats and ties look better to me now than when I was in busi ness. It sort of comforts me to ?it here surrounded by haberdash ery. Eddie?A hat shop ain't a bad place, Harry. President?You're tellin' mel Eddie?The nearest thing I ever saw to a pressure group around here was once when three women came in to tell one man what kind of a necktie he ought to pick out. ? President?How long have I been here, Ed? Eddie?About ten minutes. President?And not a demand so far for a special favor from any di rection! Mighty nice place this. ? Eddie ? Well, always remember I'd be glad to have you back with me in the store. President?That's the nicest thing that's been said to me since I got into the White House. Eddie?And I ain't lookin' for no post as an ambassador, either! ? President ? Just imagine being back in the hat Shop. . . . Just to be able to sell a collar with no news reel men recording the deed for pos terity ... to be able to dress the front window without having it full of newspaper men! Eddie?Just to take a nap on the counter without any fear you were imperiling the future of civilization, eh? President?Oh, man! ? ? ? Memories of Early Autos Floyd Clymer of Los Angeles, writing a book, recalls the old-time automobiles, naming the Ace, Alco, Alpena, Apperson, Chandler, Cleve land, Franklin, Flanders, Kissel and Lozier among others. And it brings back to us boyhood memories of the Pope-Toledo, the Locomobile, the Roamer, the White Steamer and the Stutz Bearcat. * Who remembers the EMF? The Maxwell, Stoddard - Dayton, Dart, Grant, Glidrten, Jeffrey, Wm. El more, Winton, Marmon, Grant and Apperson Jackrabbit? ? The first car we ever drove had an isinglass foldup windshield, pres tolite tanks and a motor that, start ed after applications of boiling wa ter on the outer pipes, roared like a flock of fire engines. ? ? ? A famous radio commentator has switched from a stomach medicine sponsor to a hat company. And El mer Twitchell, who gets mixed up easily, went into a haberdashery shop the other day to get a laxative, and later entered a drugstore and asked for a hat spelled backwards. ? ? ? Hitler left a message saying, "My spirit will rise from the grave." No wonder these insecticide men are getting so many calls from every where. ? ? The most attractive book title of the year "How to Get That Tax Be * ? ? "Theater Robbed by Gunmen."? Headline. ? Possibly on the theory that turn about is fair play. ? ? ? "Truman to Be Frank in Radio Speech. "?Headline. A ghost message? ? ? ? A last will and testament by Hit ler again says that be never wanted anything like war. He just looked ?p from behind his blitz and there it was! ? ? ? The winter season in the tropics may now be said to have been of ficially opened. The Dade County grand jury has gone through the an nual custom of discovering gam- ] bling joints in the Miami area and asking the sheriff to act. ? ? ? The clothing tilwrtirm being tchet it is. | the 1946 version of the returning veteran i tang me, be, "Brother, can you tpore ? oeM*m ? ? ? Past: Something favorable In year Cordurella Is an Ideal Fabric For School Wear These Cold Days 1 ?>' i ? ' - . ? A .x By CHERIE NICHOLAS * ?> i > "MOW that the holiday season ia over, mother's thoughts turn to taking up the matter of household sewing to be done. First in mind is that little daughter needs school, play and party dresses which are both "comfy" and pretty-pretty at the same time. And she knows the finished garments will be just that, for she has decided to make them of cordurella, the soft modern pinwale version of the corduroy ever be loved by both mother and daughter. It's evident that mother's initial shopping tour in the new year will lead straight to the fabric section where she will buy so many yards of cordurella in this color and so many in that. Then to the pattern counter to choose the latest in Jump er, party and play clothes. Or per haps mother will decide to buy the little garments ready-made. In ei ther event the result will be just such cunning styles as are here pic tured. Designers of little folks fashions are using this year many of the de tails that distinguish college-girl and big-sister clothes, much to the de light of the youngsters. For exam ple, the popular and practical jump er dress such as you see pictured herewith to the right has become as important a "success" fashion for little girls as it is with their elders. The jumper dress stands out pre I eminently as about the most practi ! cal style for youngsters that" moth ers could choose. The cordurella of which it is made is a favorite be cause of its style-with-stamina qual ities. It's so easy to launder, too. Nice for balmy days with a cunning blouse, and worn with a sweater top in cold bleak weather it's a perfect answer to the "keep warm" prob lem. Buttons all the way down the | front. Typical of the gay trimmings that dress up classic styles is the shoulder-strap type centered in the group. It has bands of bright col ored braid to set off the dark tone of the cordurella. A long-sleeved blouse which buttons inside the Tuff for easy handling is just like moth er's favorite mode. If a remnant of cordurella be left over in the same or even a different color a wise move would be to stitch up a wee bolero to wear with this dress, which would multiply its usefulness. A winsome dressy version is seen in the party dress of cordurella shown to the left. This little charmer is gaily trimmed with col orful embroidery on the tiny bod ice. Crisp white ruching tucked into the square neckline is another reason why this dainty little frock will endear itself to the little girl who wears it. Beloved among the party frocks shown in new collections, a favorite is a cute princess style with dainty lace collar and tiny puff sleeves. This model comes in heavenly pink or celestial blue cordurella, guar anteed to make any little beloved daughter look like an angel child. Deeper blues are used for the old er sizes, such as delft blue, dark green and bright red. A little pinafore with full skirt and jumper top with straps over the shoulders, something that mother can run up in a jiffy on the ma chine, will prove a very practical addition to a child's wardrobe. Then there's the smart little cardigan jacket or bolero suits that are so very attractive. You can make them or you can buy them. In order to conserve the limited yardage available just now, cordu rella is sometimes combined with other fabrics. The jodphur suit so smart for either brother or sister is sometimes made up of gabardine for the pants topped with a cor durella jacket. Long overalls for tiny tots are of cordurella with jacket to match in Dutch blue styled with a front of gabardine. Released by Western Newspaper Union. I I More Scarf Strategy I I ?I This clever sr.oulderette is cre ated from a very beautiful scarf. It is a large square with a huge cabbage rose on a background wall paper print done in black and white. The focal point of interest in this lovely topper for dr?ss-up oc casiens is the realistic rose. The shouldcrette is achieved in a Jiffy. Mere.y knot the ends of the square to form armholea and turn the bor der back for added sleeve and col )ar~!nt* rests Wool Jersey Hoods To Keep You Cozy Gay little flatterer* are the charming hoods of wool jersey that are seen everywhere these wintry days. It seems that wool jersey has everything that goes to make up the perfect hood. It's a success from the "keep warm" standpoint, and the way designers are letting imagi nation have full sway in way of pic turesque effects is something to ad mire. Although other materials are also used for the now-so-popular hoods, when it comes to actual count it's the hood of colorful wool jersey that outnumbers them all. It adds to "the picture" that many of these fanciful hoods are trimmed with glit tering sequins. Very charming too is the jersey hood that is yarn embroidered in gay flowers. It adds tp their practicality that many of the jersey hoods have scarf ends to throw about neck and shoulders. Simplicity la Keynote of 1946 Graduation Dresses Graduation dresses for the most part are very simple this season. White jersey, crepe and sheer whit* wools are leading fabrics. Two pretty dresses for mid-winter grad uates include a short dress of win ter-white rayon jersey. It has a low round neck and is styled with a wide corselet effect which accents the little waist. "This style is alw pretty in white w-.ol Jersey. Thi other dress is for the older gradu ate and is a bit more sophisticated. This model has a full floor-length skirt at stiffened net with a perfect ly plain fitted bodice top with cap sleeves done far white satin. ?^uyQyoHr 1 Rtleaitd by W??Wrn Ntwipaptr Union. POLITICAL APPEAL TO ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE DURING THE EARLY SPRING of 1936 I was a frequent visitor at western headquarters of the Repub lican party in Chicago. Time after time I listened to discussions be tween party leaders as to the word ing of planks in a proposed party platform. Those leaders, as are those of both parties, were intent on building a platform the planks of which could be interpreted to mean one thing to some people and some thing else to others. After listening to those discussions I proposed a complete party plat form to be expressed in seven words: "Maintain the American system of free enterprise." It could mean only one thing, I was told. There was no oppor tunity to lit it to the vote get ting needs among different seo tions, or to different classes. Such a definite policy could nev er produce the votes needed tor success in a national election. Some days later I proposed the same thing in Democratic headquar ters in New York. It met with the disapproval of both the Jeffersonian and the New Deal elements of De mocracy, and for much the same reasons as were given at Chicago. The results achieved by tho Republican members of the sen ate and house in drafting a dec laration of policies reminded me of those Incidents. They sought, as do leaders of both parties, a declaration of principles that could be interpreted one way In the Dakotas, another way In California or Massachusetts, and still other ways in other sec tions. The result, nothing def inite to which to tie. Leaders of both parties are so fearful of individual and sectional political proclivities that they sac rifice their appeal to a majority. In an effort to appeal to both a ma jority and a minority. On both sides weasel words are the tools of the vote seeker. NOT ALL WAR CASUALTIES WERE ON BATTLE FRONTS BEFORE THE START of the war, so tar as American participation was concerned, I knew a young man, in reality but a boy of a bit under 17. He was a newspaper car rier, with one of the three best routes in his small city. He had secured that route through the dili gence and care with which he had served subscribers on a less desira ble one. From the better route he had a weekly income of about $7. That boy was proud of his Job; pleased at his ability to earn $7 a week; looked forward, through the years, to the possibility of being circulation manager of the paper. Then eame the war, and the demand lor workers tn the war plants in the section tn which he lived. With thousands of oth ers be secured a war plant Job. He was quickly taught to do one thing on an assembly line. He did not become a capable me chanic. He was but a worker. Within a month be was receiv ing $45 a week as an assembly line employee. As a worker In a war plant be avoided selective service with the armed forces. With the shortening of regular hours, and overtime for some of those that had been regular, and through the granting of higher pay de mands, he reached a weekly earning of MS a week. Then the war ended, and that young man, still less than 21, was out of a Job. He is back in the home town again, loafing out the days on a park bench. That is not because he cannot find a Job, but because he now refuses to work for anything less than $65 a week. It will take cold and hunger and poverty to change that attitude, if anything can do so. If It does not change that boy will be but one of the many thousands of derelicts war work has left in its wake. War produced more casualties than those of the battle fronts. That boy was one. ARE WE. bee* use of the self ishness, greed or stubbornness of the leaders of organised la bor, or Industrial management, or both, to miss the postwar prosperity boat? Their Insane arguments could be settled If there was a desire to do so on both sides. D they keep it up. instead of that meeting the de mand for commodities that means prosperity, we will have another depression. The real sufferers are those who have no part In the unwarranted conflict. They did not call the tune. ? ? ? TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM of eliminating the war potentialities of Germany and Japan, why not sen tence our speed demons to drive automobiles in those countries? They are more effective as killers than war prisons or concentration camps. ? ? ? NEARLY HALF A MILLION men who were summoned to de fend the nation tn World War U signed their summons paper with an X. They eouM not urrtte 'jmmm Farm Productivity Mu?t Be Increased , Soil Treatment Need Be Giveii Consideration Warning that farmers are "selling their soil fertility capital and calling it a profit," Dr. George N. Holier, agronomist of LaFayette, Ind., urged greater appileaUon of scien tific knowledge and research as a means of maintaining farm produc tivity. ' "Successful farming requires the closest understanding and co-opera tion with nature," be pointed out "Agricultural research is directed constantly toward teaming more and more of the unchanging bio Beans aa well as all ether crepe will respond to proper soil manage ment. logical princlplea governing produc tion of crops aa well as animals. "Better crops and animals are produced by applying those princi ples and helping the unaided handi work of nature. "Soil tests indicate the available nutrients already in the soil. They point to the need of supplementary applications of fertilizers for maxi mum yields of nutritious crops. "Growers are also becoming ac quainted with the symptoms of plant-nutriment deMencies, not, only of potash, but of nitrogen, phos phorus, boron and otter .nutrients which are appearing <? many crops in various soils. "A deficiency of any one of these nutrients may limit profits and lead toward bankruptcy unless remedial measures are applied. "Due to the constant losses of soil fertility caused bp erosion, crop re movals, leaching, loss of organic matter, and the failure of some growers to fertilize their crops ade quately, practically all crops re spond to soil treatment." Rabbit Is Not Only Tularemia Carrier While it is true that nearly 90 per cent of human infections with tula icuua icauu iivm xontact with rab bits, birds, rodents and even such ani mals as dogs, cats, coyotes, foxes, hogs and sheep have been reported as carriers by the American Medical association. No specific treat ment has been Not a Carrier found. Even the wonder drug, penicillin, appears to be of little value. Few, if any, cases have been traced to domestic rabbits. The microbe is carried by bloodsucking insects, such as lice, ticks and probably fleas. Care in handling carriers, including the wearing of rubber gloves when dress ing rabbits and other animals of this type is recommended. Knapsack Feed Box ThU type of knapsack feeder la not only easy to construct, bst can also be oaed for hand seeding. This boa is convenient for carry ing feed where a cart is not prac tical. Should be made as light as possible; V4 inch plywood is most desirable. A satisfactory sire would be a bottom measurement of IB inches by IS Inches with a height of 13 inches. Danger of Drugs The intrusion of certain wholesale commercial and retail drug inter ests in the Held of animal health, in unrestricted selling of biological and pharmaceutical products which could be harmful to the livestock industry if improperly used, is at tracting federal attention. Farmers are urged to purchase only from a reliable Arm, only such products that have been tested and proven suitable (or their particular need by recognized authorities.
