TRAIN CREWS INDIFFERENT
TO PASSSENGERS- COMFORT
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS,
prior to 1941, I covered many thou
sands of miles each year on rail
road trains. They were pleasant
rpiles because of the uniform cour
tesy extended by each member ot
a train crew, from Pullman porter
to train conductor.
After the beginning of the war
I did but little train traveling. Re
cently I had occasion to make a
train trip of about 1,000 miles, and
the difference between the courtesy
of prewar days and that of postwar
days was surprising.
It is useless to place your shoes
out for the porter at night. He no
longer shines them. The porter no
| longer provides a bag for the lady's
hat, or a pillow for day use, un
less such things are emphatically
demanded. He no longer brushes
your clothes. The one thing, in fact,
that he has not forgotten is his ex
pectation of a tip. If the tip is mere
ly change it no longer merits a
"thank you." It must be folding j
money before the passenger re- :
i ceives a smile and a courteous ex
' pression of appreciation. The port
j er's immediate boss, the Pullman

fact you do not get courteous serv
ice.
In the diner yon wait upon the
convenience and inclination of
the steward to admit yon, and
yon take the table he desig
nates, regardless of what oth
ers may be vacant, or you get
none. Yon may wait overly long
for service by a waiter, but any
question on yonr part will bring
yon only a statement to the ef
fect yon can leave if yon wish.
There is no apology for, or ex
planation of, the delay.
The train conductor is no long
er the cheery individual of past
years. Be no longer seems
solicitous regarding yonr com
fort. He is not inclined to give
yon a civil answer to your ques
tions. Be gives the impression
of being a first class grouch who
resents being expected to dis
? play any evidence of courtesy.
I ^wonder at the why of that
change. I do not remember that the
condition existed two years ago,
the occasion of my last extended |
train journey. Has the attitude of
train crews changed suddenly? I
do not know. I only know it is dif
ferent now than it was in former
years.
At the end of that last train ride j
I stopped in a hotel in the lobby of I
which were the ticket offices of two I
air lines. I watched the lines of
people that were pleading for seats
on the planes. It seemed they would
accept the rails only as a last re
sort in the matter of getting some
where. I wondered if the disappear
ance of the old time train crew
courtesy might have anything to do
with the new interest in air trans
portation. It would work that way
with me. Possibly the time again
may come when those train crews
will welcome train passengers as a
means of providing jobs for train
men.

ADVERTISING LOWERS
COSTS TO CONSUMERS
IT WAS DURING the first term
of President Roosevelt's administra
tion that Rexford Guy Tugwell, then
assistant secretary of agriculture,
and others of his kind of theoretical
dreamers, advocated abolition of all
advertising. They pronounced it an
economic waste. He, and the young
theorists associated with him, could
see no further than the money paid
for advertising. They did not see
the increased sales it produced, or
how those increased sales lowered
the advertiser's overhead on each
dollar of sales. They did not see
that such a lowering of overhead |
costs meant a reduction in tne price
of commodities tq. the consumer
without affecting the advertiser's
profits. The fact is advertising is
neither paid for by the advertiser
nor by the consumer. It pays its
own way as improved machines in
a factory pay for themselves by in
creasing production. The merchant,
who is a consistent advertiser, can,
and as a rule does, sell for less on
equal quality of merchandise, than
can, or does, the merchant who does
not advertise. The advertising
merchant can afford to do that be
ccuse the increased volume lowers
his overhead, his rent, his clerk
hire, his insurance, his lights and 1
many other items, on each dollar of '
sales he makes.

Woman's World
Remnants, Old Clothes, Yield
Goods for Youngsters' Coats
?rtta *J?aley
VXfHEN mothers look at cloth
' * ing prices tor their young
sters, I can well imagine that they
see drastic things happening to
their clothing budgets. How lucky
then is the woman who can sew and
make use of fine woolen remnants
or grown-up clothing for coats,
suits, jackets and skirts for the
youngsters.
Some mothers feel that it makes
too much of a dent in their finances
to buy for the children, especially
since they seem to sprout by leaps
and bounds and soon outgrow their
clothing. This is just another good
reason for taking up sewing for
them if you haven't done so al/bady.
There are any number of ways
in which home-sewn garments can
be made so they are adjustable as
the child outgrows them, and these
features cannot often be found in
ready-made garments unless they
are of the more expensive variety.
The easiest patterns to adjust for
length, for example, are those
which have straight simple lines.
There are no hard-to-manage belts
which make letting out or down dif
ficult. Another way in which these
garments can be made to last long
er is to make cuffs on coats and
jackets that can help in adjusting
the garment as it is outgrown.
Bands may be stitched down the
front of the garment to be let out,
also.
Recut Adult Garments
To Fit Children
In making clothes for children
from grown-ups' clothes, it's never
a wise idea just to shorten them
and take in the seams. Children fre
quently do not look nice in gar
ments handled like this and they
are very conscious of their appear
ance and the remarks their friends
make about their clothing.
Adulu' woolen garments make . . ?
The only way to make proper
alterations is to rip the garment
apart at the seams, then recut ac
cording to a pattern. Even this
may not be sufficient to make the
garments look nice, so it's wise
to fit them just as you would in a
garment for yourself and make the
necessary changes so they will look
as though they were actually made
for the child.
Boy's garments should look neat
and well tailored, and they should
be smartly masculine no matter
how young the boy is. Avoid
feminine touches on them. Never
make them look even slightly old
as this will give them a rather
grotesque appearance.
In making over mother's woolen
coats or dresses for daughter, select
only the appropriate materials.
They should match the girl in col
oring and be attractive to her skin
texture. Dresses can be made
youthful-looking for the girls with
very youthful lingerie touches like
pique or lace collars, pockets and
puffed sleeves.
Auracuia garment! for chiUran.
Good workmanship is essential in
Kwing (or children as their gar
ments are exposed to lots of hard
wear. They require frequent laun
dering or cleaning, and the stitch
ing and other detail must be sturdy
to withstand this type of wear.
Garments should be made as
comfortable as possible so the chil
dren can be at ease in work and
play. Another consideration is ex
tremely important, especially in

Place Buttons Where
Youngster Can Use Them
Little girls may look very
quaint in dresses that button at
the back, but this means that moth
er will have to stop whatever she
is doing in order to help with the
dressing. II buttons are worked into
the front of the garment that is
easy to reach, as at the neck, or
as in a princess style, little daugh
ter can be relied on to finish her
own dressing problem, thus leaving
mother free for her own work, and
also helping create a sense of inde
pendence in the little girl.
Zippers are again available, and
they are excellent for children's
clothing as they are easy to oper
ate. Show the youngsters that they
must be slipped up or down easily,
or they will have too good a time
with them and, perhaps, even put
them out of commission.
Don't make buttons and button
holes too small, or the youngster
will have difficulty with them. But
i tons, snaps, and other fasteners,
should at all times be large enough
to fit into the child's hands easily
so that they won't slip away as
soon as he is about to fasten them.
Have the Right Tools
Successful home sewing calls
for the right tools in the right
place so that work can be done
efficiently. Keep your tools in
your sewing box, and don't bor
row equipment from it and then
forget to return it.
Have sharp cutting shears
eight to nine inches long. Longer
shears will make your cutting
work easier. Medium scissors,
about five to six inches long, are
nice for shaping work and small
scissors are nice for close work.
Pinking shears are thrifty if
you make a lot of children's
things and under garments. Tbey
save work finishing seams.
Have an adequate supply of
pins, for only by doing a lot of
pinning can you do accurate
work. Keep them in a box and
return them to it after using.
Don't leave them around for
the youngsters.
There's a needle and thread
for every kind of sewing. If you
aren't quite sure, there's a cen
ter or store near your home
where they will give you help
on your particular problem.
Have an assortment of hooks
and eyes and fasteners, thimbles
and tape measures at your beck
and call. Bindings and beltings
are a big help, as are tailor's
chalk and elastic.

Processing of Feed
On Farm Possible
Improred Machinery
Lowers Milling Cost
Home processing of feed has
grown in popularity during recent,
years as electricity made possible
the economic use of small hammer
mills and mixers, putting feed han
dling on almost an' automatic
basis.
Farm processing of feed permits
farmers to use home-grown grain
more economically and follow in
dividual feeding formulas.
Small mills, operated by electric
motors of 1 horsepower or less,
can grind 100 pounds of grain at a
cost of from 1 to 3 cents. Larger
mills, powered by 3 to TA horse
power motors, are needed for grind
ing ear corn or roughage. These
larger motors use from 1/10 to 3 kilo

watt hours of power for each 100
pounds, depending on the fineness
to which feed is ground.
In an automatic setup, mills are
mounted under storage hoppers so
grain flows through gravity chutes
to the grinder. Ground feed either
drops into a box under the grinder
or is blown into an overhead feed
bin to be re-directed later to the
mixer.
The farmer starts the grinder mo
tor, opens the gate in the grain
feed chute and goes about his
chores. The motor is equipped with
an overload protective device and
the mill is built to operate safely
even when no grain is fed into it
There are also devices available to
turn off the mill motor when feed
requirements have been ground.
Young Tree Support
Keeping young tree* straight
without injuring them ia always a
problem. By the use of bicycle tires,
watering hose or parts of auto tires,
this may be accomplished.
The wire which is run through
the rubber tube may be hooked to

desired, and locked into wire going
through rubber, as shown in illus
tration.
Hay Improved by Roof
Air Conditioned Mow

Unfavorable conditions of temper
ature or light will result in costly
spoilage of hay as well as other
farm products. The above photo
shows how one Pennsylvania farm
er painted the roof of his hay barn
with aluminum roof paint to pro
tect his IMS timothy hay crop.
This serves a double purpose of
year-round weatkerprooflng and
summer cooling and saves crops at
small cost.
