Ral6iGH — Shirts make' an
excellent gift for a man at
Christmas time or any time If
you’re planiang to buy shirts
iw iBon4iv yotW life whether he
be husband, soil of friend, these
shopping suggestion* from Mrs.
Hwby Mfllef, extension . dothing
specialist. North Carolina State
University, may help* you make
a wise selection. •
, Wheii shopping, you’ll find a
greater variety orf shirts avail
able this year than ever before,
Mrs. Miller note's. f)fess and worit
aWrts as wdll as sport shirts, are
obf ki a iull airay of Styles, col
ors.and .finishes.
Ooll^ styles vafy even in white
buAhftiis Mdrls, so you’fl want to
select the' collar style that is be
coming to the man who will wear
serious enough to require medi
cal attention or fo restrict the
acthity of the victim a day or
longer.
A host 6f physical 'factors are
irvvblved in hofne accidents, such
as electrical and priwer equip-
merit, inadequate lighting, glass
dodrs, abandoned ice boxes, med-
iciries, arid iriiny others. But by
far the ftiator causes ,6f home ac-
ddbnts are two things — falls
and fires.
Falls are the secbYid nfiost com-
mefn cause of accidental death,
nedt to highway accidents. Falfe
in and around the home each
yedr cause injuries to nearly. 7
miOioh p^le arid 12,4)00 deaths.
Falls on stairs ckiisc nearly
2,000 fatal ihlurieB a yiMtr. Prop
er lighting and,sturdy .handrails
on stairs are highly irriporlarif
to home safety. A good ladder
to aid In feaebing high' places is
mifch safer than standing.. oh
boies or chairs. And the ladder
should be firmly placed and
briced at the foot. Spilled water
or grease or improper waxing
of floors cause falls. Loqse rugs,
sodttered toys and trdibng ex
tension cords also are hazard*.
A light switch near the door of

If the 'fn«n Has a short thick
neck, select at shirt with a long
oeglav polrite on a low-set collar
or if he lAs a thin neck arid
face the higher-set colars arc bet
ter.
Another fhlbg yoU need tb db’
is learn to judge quality. Mrs
Miller indicate j'ou can judge
quality iri: tlib following ways: by
Mieckirtg for evbh and clo»?ly
dpaiced stitdhing along the edges
of the cuffs and along^ the front
panel; by looking fb sec if but
tonholes are sturdy, neat and not
raveling; by examining the shirt
back to see that gathers or the
pleats are over the shouldm to
nrovide fullness; by seeing that
th# bidtons ard clear, smooth,
foitHd and uniforiri in thickness
*ta by checking to see that the
sleeves are cUt in onb piece oo
they are' easy to iron and neat
in api^aranc(l.
Mu^ of thd qiMlity is iddNlen
