For many years bags have entered the house as dish cloths, curtains, and slip covers, but now they are being looked upon as dresses in the making. An unlimited number of items for yourself, your home, and your children can be made from this sack material. The white bags can be left plain, or dyed any color and several print bags in the same pat tern will make a dress. Boys' sport and dress shirts can also be made from this material. Besides wearing apparel, numer ous other useful and attractive items can be made from bags all kinds of aprons from the necessary coverall type to dainty tea aprons of print trimmed with deep ruffles of white or pastel-dyed material; luncheon cloths, napkins, and table mats provide unlimited possibili ties.

They are especially good for attrac tive school dresses. "Never let a good opportunity go untried." is a good rule to follow, and certainly discarding cotton bags would be like throwing away good bolts of material. Washed thoroughly, dyed, and made into any ot hundreds of possible items, cotton feed bags become indispensable around the home. When shopping for dress making fabrics, don't overlook the remnant tables. Those short lengths of expensive fab rics make collars and cuffs for a dress of less expensive black fabric. L'nder-suil blouses are made from short lengths of fabric and some remnants con tain sufficient material to line jackets or children's coats. QUALEN QUAILS ' ' ONLY IN ROLES HOLLYWOOD Three little words made all the difference in the career of scared-looking little John Qualen, who really isn't scar ed at all. Now I probably don't have to go -any farther in re minding you of this sharp-featured, fine charac ter actor's identi ty than to men tion that he play ed Papa Dionne, the father of the q u i n tuplets. iti "The C o u n I r y Doctor" and two sequel pictures. John seems fat ed to be timid, pathetic, bewildered in his screen roles as Muley in "The (i rapes of Wrath" or the escaped convict hidden in a desk in "His Girl Fri day." Off the screen he's a friendly. talkative man who lives with his wife. Pearl, in a comfortable, un pretentious home in West Los An geles. Me owns a plastics business on the side. As a host, he's the kind who hustles into the next room for a picture of his large family when you ask whether he has brothers and sisters. Ask if he keeps up with his flute, saxophone, piano, and whistling, and he sits down at the piano and whistles a beau tiful, bird-like tune to his own accompaniment.

Playwright Elmer Rice was cast ing "Street Scene" in New York n 1929. John was at the head of the line of applicants. "I do Italian French. German. Irish dialects." he said. A long, uncomfortable pause, and to fill it John added the three fateful words: "And Swedish dialects." Rice though John didn't know it needed someone to play a Swedish Janiftm John was signed After three years on Broadway, he came to Hollywood for the movie version of the play. But for those three opportune words, John thinks, he might be selling groceries today. In mating season birds' eyes may change in color.

What pro gram are we llatemn' to!" WASHINGTON Engineers of the Federal Power Commission say il is possible to toss a harness on winds and tame I hem into pro ducing $r0,)0'l,(IOO worth of cheap ich year. Thus one ol the oldest sources of energy, the wind, appears des tined to be harnessed alongside the newest, the atom. Plans for wind generators have been discussed for sev eral years, and Percy H. Thom as, staff member in the office of the commission's chief engineer, says lie now is convinced they will work on a liiantie scale. ! Wi.iK WINDMILLS WOULD BE CONSTRl'(TFI) on towers 575 feet high. 20 feel higher than the Washington monument. Thomas has plans (or a generator for each lower that would have a capacity ol (i,f0U kilowatts or around tt.(i7ll horsepower. 'Connect ed into tlie existing power circuits of the nal ion. between 800 and 1.000 of these gigantic aerogener alors would produce about 20 per cent of the nation's electricity, en gineers estimated. Already, Thomas says, studies have shown that I here is sufficient wind in virtually all parts of the nation to operate such huge wind mills. What it takes, be says, is a steady wind of around 2(1 nnles per hour. Wind force increases with elevation. That is why be proposes to build each windmill on a tower 575 feet high. Each lower would be placed on a care fully selected site where studies show winds prevail. EACH WINDMILL. Thomas es tunates .could be constructed lor around $500,0011. Compared with hydroelectric and steam plant costs, the wind gen erators are cheapest, Thomas says. He estimates the cost of produc tion al around I 13 mills per kilo watt hour Average steam and hy droelectric prices range from around two nulls In 7 or It mills Thomas eslimales. If the siiviiics are applied to America's hill lor 2.111.1100.000.000 kilowatt hours annually, and if the wind mil In produce a lull 20 percent of the total, the savings would be around $."(. 00". IKXI. But this probably couldn't all be ap plied as a savings on power bills because the aerogenerators would have to supplement steam and hydro plants. This is because the wind is not a .stable sonic,, of power, and Hie steam and water power plants would be needed to produce cur rent when the aerogenerators are becalmed. THE WIND HAS BEEN USED to produce electric energy in Rus sia as well as in the United States but not on the scale Thomas pro poses. He says three "groups" are interested in taking over the aero generator plan and constructing ex perimental projects to prove the feasibility of wide-scale operations. Tremendous engineering prob lems are involved: Each tower, with twin "wind mills" and generator house platform, would weigh 1,400 tons. The windmills, generator and platform, elevated to 575 feet, alone would weigh about 700 tons, each blade 11 tons. The length of each blade in the "mill" would be around 100 feel. This is longer than the wing of a superfortress, C5 feet. EACH GENERATOR would pro duce around 8.670 horsepower at capacity. This is almost three times the power of each engine in the new 920-ton Constitution airplane, carrying 180 passengers. Engineers estimate this 8,670 horsepower would ' provide for the home needs of a town of 20,000 people. Expert Advice On Farm Problems (Compiled by Extension Service at State College) QUESTION: How can I grow trees on my small earden plot? ANSWER? The development of dwarf apple trees that never grow taller than eight feet may be the solution to your pioblem, says James T. Francis of the State Col lege Horticultural department. These trees can be trained on a trellis or wall with heavy pruning, and thus trained, they are both ornamental and useful. The Mail ing VIII and Mailing IX rootstocks give the dwarfing effect. QUESTION: What are the ad vantages of using radiant heat for brooding chicks? ANSWER: This so-called new blooding system appears to offer much greater efficiency in fuel consumption, labor, disease preven tion, and in growth of chicks, poults, and ducklings, according to T. T. Brown, poultry specialist. More chicks per man can be cared for, door space is more fully util ized, larger bunches of chicks can he brooded together without crowd ing, litter remains drier, and less disease trouble is encountered when radiant heat is used.
