SUte College) Waxing heels and toes of stock I ings with a bit of candle was rou | tine hose economy long ago in wooden-shoe lands of Europe, and it is a practical way to meet stock ing problems today. Textile speci alists who have put to laboratory tests this old-fashioned custom re port that rubbing wax on stockings makes them wear four times as long before holes appear in heels or toes. Tests showed the simplst and most effective method is merely rubbing a piece of candle wax or paraffin on heels and toes before each wearing. Even if the wax is not repeated until after several launderings, enough wax remains to make stocking feet more durable. If only a thin film of wax is ap plied, it will not interfere with the proper laundering of the stockings or change their appearance. 2,000,000 STARVING More than two million civilians in Budapest are starving. ....
