Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Men who finally learned not to say “Huh?” when their wives muttered, “Knit two, purl two,” have still another language to master. Words like “stoting” and “working in” and “filling stitches” will flutter round the house like mice in the rafters. The fine art of darning has

come back home. It needed a good-sized scare to set women thinking about mending the rips and tears. Stockings, of course, inspired the virtuous vogue. But there are also precious imported linens to be cared for; fine laces that may never be duplicated; silk lingerie that’s better with a skillful darn or two than no silk lingerie at all. And, of course, if some poor husband, gets his socks darned in the mending flurry, there’s no real harm done. = The experts point out that darning involves a technique, is more

.|than a matter of threading a needle.

Mary Brooks Picken, who conducts one: of the most comprehensive sewing schools in the country, tossed us a few tips we think we'd beter: pass on: .

The Art of Darning Returns to Silk Scare Inspires the Mending Vogue

For wool mending, use darning needles and mending wool that’s either the same size as the wool strands in the garment, or slightly finer; never coarser.

Always choose a color slightly darker than that of the stocking you're mending, as the thread “works in” slightly lighter than it appears on the spool. With ‘mending © floss, use the strands full-size or separated to correspond with the weight of the yarn in the stockings. (And use a stocking darner to keep the threads from being drawn too tight.) Put in the . lengthwise threads first, making rows of running stitches .in the form of a digmond to distribute the strain over a greater area. When the lengthwise threads are laid, turn the darn around and weave the filling stitches over and under them. If it’s appearance you're mostly concerned about in your handiwork, darn’ on the right side. But if the stocking is heavy, the darn will feel more comfortable done from the wrong side, ad . ‘Now that you've digested * that, we'll tell you that you can get a darning attachment for your sewing

machine. While this gadget does a smooth job, Singer believes darning will become such a part of the nation’s fireside chats they're working at the moment on a still slicker

gadget, to be on the market before long. With «this contraption you can sew a fine seam in your most diaphanous undies. You can also use a metal hoop in combination with the “darning foot,” to hold the fabric firm while you're mending. Any of the Singer sewing circles are glad to demonstrate the process for the asking. Don’t be too shocked if the little coliegienne in your home asks for a darning basket as a going-away gift. She may have heard of the Wellesley junior,

boning up on darning during her summer holiday. “I made her spend an hour every day learning how to mend her own wardrobe,” the. Wellesley girl's mother declared. “She’d been ‘darning’ her sports stockings by weaving Hairpins in the holes! I found it out when she sent her laundry home—and forgot to take out the pins.”

Clarence Jackson Talks

Declaring that American history proves that each generation of United States citizens has been big enough to solve the problems of its times and has handed down to the succeeding generation a better country in which to live, Clarence A. Jackson yesterday challenged the Girl Scout leaders to do their -part in helping this generation solve the current problems of the country and help make the United States a better country in which to live when the present crisis is over. The director for Civilian Defense for Indiana spoke at a luncheon. pen The mechanics of the present civilian defense set-up were ex-

that such service agencies as the

to recognize and accept responsibility and who are trained in the quality of leadership, are particularly important in the Civilian Defense picture. Calling the Middle West the “American Ruhr Valley,” he said that this section of the country is the real arsenal of democracy and it is’ through the efforts of each small community, city and state that we can found a firm basis for our Civilian Defense program. ; Ay Speakers at yesterday's sessions also included Mrs. Clayton H. Ridge, Woman's Department Club president; Mrs. Theodore L. Squier, Milwaukee, regional committee member for the Scouts, and J. Patrick Rooney, assistant city recreational director. ”

Rebukes Those Forcing Movie Inquiky

WASHINGTON, Sept. 85~Dr. Kathryn McHale, general director of the American Association of University Women, today castigated the moving picture inquiry being conducted by a subcommittee of the Senate Interstate Commerce Com=mittee. Dr. McHale is the sister of Frank M. McHale, Democratic national committeeman-. from Indiana. Writing in “News Flashes” from the Association headquarters here, she declared: “Washington's current dramatic “investigation” of film and radio propaganda by a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce demon=-_ strates the -threat which a small but vocal minority can offer to the civil rights of all the people. “The subcommittee set up by Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) includes four ‘non-inferven= tionists’—Senators D. Worth Clark (D. Md), Homer T. Bone (D. Wash.), C. Wayland Brooks (R. Ill) and Charles W. Toby (R. N. H.). The only other member is Senator Ernest W. McFarland (D, Ariz.). “Attacking as ‘propaganda’ some

ator Gerald P. Nye (R. N. D.), as the first witness, feared these pic~ tures might build up a ‘hatred of gonditions and leaders in foreign ands.’ -

Supports Civil Liberties

“One of the American Association of University Women’s oldest principles. is the support of civil liberties—freedom of expression. One of A. A, U. W.s most positive principles, adopted by the Cincinnati Convention, is to support all possible aid to nations resisting totalitarian aggression. “Together these two present an obligation to protest the efforts of this bloc of Senators who would establish Government censorship over the most effective media of adult education in this country.”
