Refreshing sleep is a must in this
time of stress, so let's have com
fortable, clean, well-ventilated bed
rooms.
Guard against sharp edges of
springs or bedstead when removing
sheet. Lift the corner of the mattress
to prevent undue strain. Change
sheets at least once a week. Use them
in rotation. Wash with good quality
pure soap. Rinse thoroughly. Hang
straight. Double over line In sun. In
ironing, keep hems straight and do
not press sharp creases. Do not use
sheet or pillow case as laundry bag.
Keep dish cloths and towels sweet
and clean with frequent washing and
airing.
Teach children to wash and rinse
hands clean before drying them.
CTiange towels frequently. You wont
have to rub so hard when washing
them, saving your energy and it will
also prolong the life of the towel.

The House That Cotton Built
Almost overnight scores of concrete defense homes are rising at
Falls Church, Va. The rapidity of construction of these houses can
bo attributed largely to the ingenious use of cotton and rubber, the
National Cotton Council and Cotton-Textile Institute report. Room
sixed rubberised cotton ballon sections are inflsted and sprayed with
concrete When the concrete hardens the balloon is removed and the
concrete ^hcttfa covered-with- insulating materia I and an outer layer
of concrete Defense housing officials say that using four balloon
sections, they can erect 100 houses in 60 days and 200 in 90 days.
Above, workmen dust balloon with a compound to prevent concrete
from sticking to it, and below, is shown a finished house. The house
has two bedrooms living room, kitchen, bath, entrance hall and ample
closet space.

APPLICATION OF AAA LIME
SHOWS INCREASE IN STATE
In line with the nation's wartime
need for large increase* of certain
essential crops, and continuance of
soil conservation practices, North
Carolina farmers are increasing use
of crushed limestone as a soil build
ing material, according to E. Y.
Floyd, AAA executive assistant of
State College.
For the period from November 1,
1941, through May 6, 1942, Mr. Floyd
said, farmers of the state ordered
23ti,HOO tons of limestone from the
Agricultural Adjustment Agency for
use on pasture lands, hay crops, and
small grain. For the corresponding
period of the previous year, he said,
196,351 otns of limestone were or
dered At the same time, he declared
11,471 tons of 20 per cent superphos
phate have been ordered this year.
He urged farmers who plan to use
idditional limestone on their land
this fall with small grain crops to
place their orders as quickly as pos
lible to insure delivery.
"The current transportation situ
ition is making it more difficult to
obtain supplies of limestone within
t short itme after orders are receiv
ad," he said. "This situation proba
bly will grow worse as troop and
var materials movements place an
additional burden on railroad facili
ies."
The AAA ufficial pointed out that,
n placing orders for fall delivery
farmers should give proper consid
eration to the possible shortage of
ither materials which now are going
'or war purposes, and that needs
>hould be considered in relation to
the war production program.
Crushed limestone is obtained
from the AAA through county agri
cultural conservation associations as
grant-of-aid material, and costs of
it are deducted from conservation
payments due farmers at the close
of the program year.

GIVEAWAY
A judge was pointing out that a
witness is not necessarily to be re
garded as untruthful because he al
ters a statement made previously.
"For instance," he said, "when I
entered this court today I could have
rworn I had my watch in my pock
et. But then, I remembered I had
left it in the bathroom at home."
When the judge got home that
night his wife said, "Why all this
bother about your watch?sending
Four or five men for it?"
"Good heavens," s?M the Judge,
'what did you do?"
"I gave it to the first one who
came; he knew just where It was."
