Henley, R., Bloomington, favored the bill which he said merely provided the machinery for calling a convention. Before speaker Hobart Crelgntou, R.. Warsaw, called bills for third and Anal reading, the house received 22 new measures and' approved on second reading two senate bills.

2nd day of January, uhs HOMER W. ARNOLD FLOYD EHRMAN MILTON GIROD Advisory Board of Kirkland Township. - * COUNTY AGENTS * COLUMN | ♦- ♦ Although ttyere te relief in sight for the severe shortage in children’s clothing, new garments cannot reach the retail stores for some time. Therefore, the best immediate help lies in more home sewing and remodeling of garments on hand. For those who say this is too big a job, Miss Martin, Purdue extension clothing specialist, points out that until relatively recent years, most children’s garments were made at home—and many of them were well constructed and attractive. 'Home sewing for children —'boys and girls—should be even easier today, because patterns are better and carry such detailed instructions for making a garment. In the past year or two more patterns for boys’ clothing have become available. For best results with home sewing, paterns should always be used: free-hand cutting seldom produces a good garment. Most patterns give several interpretations, and one pattern can be used in making more than one garment. There is often good faibric at home for making children’s garments. The best parts of adult dresses, shirts, housecoats, or good quality feed sacks may be converted to boys’ or girls blouses, little girl’s dresses, jumpers, or bolero jackets, or children’s pajamas. Since boys’ clothes are more tailored, they sometimes offer greater construction problems. Some mothers have found a suitable solution (by using pajama patterns or old pajama trousers as a guide for making cotton trousers. Wool trousers require a special patent that gives detailed help in handling wool. Miss Martin adds one last word of encouragement for the homemaker who has had little sewing experience—it is easier to learn to sew on children's garments. They can be made more quickly and fitting is less difficult than for adults. Homemakers who plan to remodel garments will find U S. D. A. Misc. Pub. 545, “Make-cvers from coats and suits”, helpful. It is available al the county agent office, or from Purdue University.
