| A New Sewing Service Can Help

To 'Whip Up' a Dress in Jigtime

“I CAN BASTE AND STITCH, all right, but I'm scared to death

to try cutting out a dress.” That's a complaint common among women who look longingly at the yard-goods counters as they think of the;

savings they could effect by making their own clothes. No longer need inexperience in cutting and fitting dresses keep them from making the clothes that will bring them satisfaction and

savings.

how to do this or to do it for them. + A two-hour lesson in’ the fine points of eutting and fitting is offered at a-small fee. A session or two will give an understanding of the individual measurement’ chart,

how to alter a pattern, how to cut

out the dress, make guide markings and bastings, how to pin the pieces together for fitting. And if the home seamstress is hurried for time, she can leave the pattern and material at the sewing center and an expert will cut and fit- the pieces for little cost. Then, with this head start, the dressmaking project is a jigtime job. : tJ

The Question Box

Q—At a party'l am planning I would like to serve box lunches containing fried chicken. Can this be fried before the party and kept crisp until served? A—Yes. If the chicken is fried very crisp and drained of excess grease by laying it on paper towels, it should remain crisp until served. Don’t put it into a refrigerator, however, or any remaining grease will congeal and have a “wilting” effect upon the crisp coating. Q—How can I remove a grease spot from wallpaper? Mrs. T. W. A—Apply a paste made by mixing fuller’s earth and carbon tetrachloride. Allow it to dry, then brush it off. Obstinate spots may require several applications. Q—Will you please tell me how I can remove dark spots from my new hardwood floors? They were caused by setting a basket of damp clothes down. I have tried polishing them but that doesn’t help. Mrs. D. M. A—Stains in ‘many cases can be bleached out of floors with a solution made by dissolving one teaspoonful of oxalic acid in one cup of water. This liquid, which is poisonous and must be handled carefully, is spread on the wood and allowed to stand overnight. Then remove all traces of the agent by wiping with clear warm water. If this does not remove the stain we do not know of anything that can be done. If the stain is deep the treatment may have to be repeated. Q—Is there any way to remove nail polish from a dress? Mrs. A. M. McQ. A—Apply amyl acetate, or the following preparation which is used by cleaners for removing fingernail polish: 2 ounces amyl acetate (banana oil), 1 ounce benzol, 2 ounce denatured alcohol -to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. This mixture will dissolve celanese, therefore one must be sure of the material before applying the mixture.

Girl Workers Need Fun As Men Do

By RUTH MILLETT

WASHINGTON needs stenographers. But all girls don’t like Washington these days. They flock there from small towns all over the country and then a lot of them turn around and go home when they discover that pounding a typewriter all day in a crowded office and then going home to

:| ment and only temporary.

spend a dateless evening is a dreary sort of life. In an appeal to girls telling them how badly Uncle Sam needs Ruth Millett s t eno graphers, one government official held out this bait: ‘The Washington scene has changed until now there are more dates.” Now that someone has publicly recognized the fact that the girls who pound the typewriters, as well as the men who carry guns, need a little fun and relaxation—we ‘may see some changes.

2 APPEALS “ro” GIRLS to put their nimble fingers to work for Uncle Sam may in the future place less stress on salary and more on social life. A pieture of a girl dancing dreamily in the arms of a handsome young man may replace the picture of a girl at a typewriter or a machine. And why not? Uncle Sam has always used pretty girls on his recruiting posters when it was men he wanted. Perhaps even the Y. M. C. A. or some other men’s organization in a city like Washington will take the responsibility for bringing in truck loads of men workers in neighbor-. ing areas to dance with the government stenographers, the way the Y. W. in many cities takes car loads of girls to dance with soldiers. There is a need for someone to assume responsibility for the social life of single girls who are helping the war effort by working in. offices and factories. For, if the truth were known, the army of unmarried women workers probably suffers more from loneliness than the men in the armed forces.

Post-War Demands for Meats By Other Countries May Put America on Short Rations

By JANE STAFFORD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The present beefsteak shortage an! change in Fido’s prepared food is giving Americans a foretas

a world-wide meat hunger that will

Fido and other less aristocratic pooches are already turnin their noses at the new dog foods which, though nourishing, are | =| appetite appeal even to a hungry dog. Fido’s master and mistress | worried over a beefsteak and pork

chop shortage, may when the war is over, be glad for the horsemeat which used to go into Fido’s food. The present meat shortage in the United States, especially in eastern states, is a matter of price adjustNo one

| needs to suffer from it, because fish

and chicken or other poultry can be substituted for meat without any sacrifice of diet essentials. But in most of Europe poultry and probably fish are more scarce than beef,

pork and veal are here today. Inj:

fact they are almost non-existent. Expects World Demand

Our present meat shortage is due to price and shipping problems. In European countries the cattle have long since been slaughtered, the precious grain has gone to feed humans rather than chickens and geese, and when the war is over there will be a world raid on the American meat market that may put us all on very short rations. Meat means steaks, chops and roasts to most people. To the nutritionist, meat means protein, and he knows that protein is a “must”

ingredient of human diets. Pro- .

teins are found not only in meat,

fish and poultry, but also in cheese, | 3]: milk, eggs, grains, nuts and some|$M especially beans and|3:s¥

vegetables, peas. Not all of these protein foods,

however, are equally nourishing for| &;

humans.

Proteins in foods and man’s body| = tissues are built up from chemicals}

called amino acids. Certain of these acids are “essential” and must be supplied preformed in the diet, whereas others can be manufactured by the body from simpler substances. The proteins from meat, cheese, eggs and other animal sources are called “first class” proteins because they supply all the essential amino acids. Vegetable, grain and nut proteins are not .considered “first class” proteins because they lack one or more of the essential amino acids. Physical Effects

In Germany during the last war a dropsical condition known as war edema or famine swelling occurred because, it is believed, the sufferers did not get enough first class protein food. Victims of the famine in Russia in 1923 were found to have striking wasting of the sex glands, a condition which recent experiments suggest was probably also due to lack of first class protein. This same lack may be the reason for the low fertility among famine or near-famine victims. The recent experiments showing a relation between protein lack and human reproductive ability are part of a big study which it is hoped

{will aid in solving the post-war

feeding problem. The scientists, working at the Johns Hopkins hospital and medical school, are investigating, one by one, each of the ten essential amino acids to find just what happens when one of them is missing from man’s diet. The one called arginine is suspected of being a paternity chemical, required for production of the male reproductive cells, the spermatozoa. Hitherto human need for arginine and the other essential amino acids has been assumed from the fact

‘that young laboratory rats require|

them. Knowledge of the growing rat's need for amino acids came from research initiated by the late Profs. Thomas B. Osborne and Lafayette B. Mendel and recently completed by Prof. W. C. Rose of

| the University of Illinois.

Now the job is to find how many and which of these amino acids are

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a

baby. When I was married my husband drank quite a bit but promised

except for a bottle of beer on pay day until lately. He kept drinking more and more until last wee he got drunk. I told him that if he ever got drunk I'd leave him but when I started to go last week he begged so pitifully that I told him I would give him another chance. He says he won’t touch another drop. I love him so much it hurts and I'm sure he loves me. What I want to know is if he gets drunk again shall I leave him or stick with him for the baby’s His father is a drinker and his mother has had hell on earth. I won't have that. AWFULLY WORRIED. 2 w= J Answer—The time for you to have taken alarm at a boy’s drinking was before you were married. Now that you are married and have a child to consider it isn’t so easy to duck the problem. You promised to stick to

ter or for worse, and you can’t run

There is no doubt but what you have a problem on your hands. A boy whose father drank before him may mistakingly feel that drinking is the privilege of a man and he is apt to regard himself as more of a man if he drinks. The contrary is true. The drinker is one who feels the burden of maturity too much for him. A drink enables him to regress to an earlier stage of development when life made fewer .demands upon him. Doubtless your husband is one of those men who cannot drink at all.

drop, but it will mean his salvation if he is able to stick to it. He needs all the help and encouragement he can get from you. Possibly he would understand the problem better if he read the experience of other drinkers and it might strengthen his resohition not to let himself in for the disastrous results of drinking. “One Man’s Meat” by Strecker and Chambers contains excellent advice for men who think they can drink within reason and many good suggestions for avoiding temptation. It is a good idea for your ‘husband never to allow himself to have idle time on his hands. He shotld plan his day so that it is completely taken up with work and diversion. He is the sort’ who never should go out with “the boys.” The more

safer he is. Now is the time for you to get his co-dperation, before

still wants his marriage to succeed above all else. JANE JORDAN.

Making Stockings La t Longer

And always rinse after wearing.

the Harlem hermits and their mysterious home. The eccentric and scholarly Langley hasn't communicated with his lawyer since last Friday when he got up at dawn, cut his long gray hair and wisp of a mustache, donned his Sunday clothes and loped afoot from Harlem to 41 Park Row to ask Mr. McMullen to represent him in an eviction suit which the Bowery Savings bank brought to get possession of the Collyer home in a mortagage foreclosure. According to Mr. McMullen, a courtly, white-haired Mr. Pickwick, Langley left him Friday with the understanding that he was to return yesterday to discuss.whatever offer the bank might make, but he didn’t show up. “That doesn’t mean I intend to let this matter drag,” he added. “I don’t do business that way.” Asked if he thought the Collyers should move, he said, “I'd like to see Homer put in a hospital and Langley moved somewhere, perhaps to the house they own across the street, then I'd like to take him down to Howard’s and fit him out in new clothes.” ” ” 2 LANGLEY surprised the neighbors Friday by exchanging his tattered blue and white janitor’s overalls and battered gray cap for a quaint black suit, felt hat and droopy windsor tie which made him look all the more like a character in a Poe mystery novel. A spokesman for the Bowery Savings bank said that Mr. McMullen had promised to have some word for the bank before Friday. “We can’t make the first move,” he said, “because we now own the property. The Collyers lost it July 23, when we foreclosed. We've given them 10 days to do something. If they don’t, we still have the writ of assistance which gives us the right to take possession.” Those who know Langley and Homer doubt if they will ever move out voluntarily. “Homer would have a stroke i he was moved,” Langley declared last Friday night when he returned from his expedition. “He doesn’t know a thing about all this. He can’t lift a finger to help himself. He lies there very still all day long with his eyes closed.” :

MEANWHILE neighbors continue to gather in little knots about the silent old home shaded by the great elm on the northwest corner of 120th st. and Fifth ave. They talk about the automobile in the parlor,

NEW YORK, Aug. 18—Langley Collyer has holed in again to the dismay of his attorney, John R. McMullen, and the Bowery Savings bank. They fear that his withdrawal into the barricaded, decaying old Collyer home at 2078 Fifth ave. will only fan interest in the house and the fate of Homer, Langley’s blind and ailing brother. Both the bank and Mr. McMullen would frankly like to soft-pedal all news of

the boat in the attic, the condition of the 10 pianos and whether or not Homer still lives.

Last Saturday night Mrs. Charles:

Collyer, wife of a Long Island ticket agent who says he is first cousin of Homer and Langley, knocked withe out avail on the front door of 2078. “I just wanted to know if Homer was all right,” she told Mr. McMullen yesterday. Neighbors said she brought a basket of eggs for him. When she couldn't get in she gave the eggs to a local druggist.

2 2 2 Hyman, the butcher of 216 RB 121st st., says Mrs. Collyer missed Langley by two or three hours. “He

came in here at 1 o'clock Sunday

morning to pick up the meat Isave for him,” he said today. “I piled him and his bundles in the car and drove him up to 125th st. and Fifth ave., same as I always do. Nope, he

didn’t say nothing about being/

evicted. That don’t concern me.” For more than 10 years Mr. Hye man has been saving meat scraps for Langley. Regular as clock work,

Langley, a shabby figure in tattered

clothes, turns up between midnight

| and closing time.‘ In addition to the

meat Mr. Hyman says he gives him change to buy kerosene for the lamps and stove. Langley is always loaded down with bundles of old newspapers and odds and ends he hasecolfected on the way.

«I feel sorry for the poor old fel--

low,” Mr. Hyman said. “That's why I give him a lift in the car. What's that? He paid something like $44,000 in jaxes on some Queens lots? No, I never heard that.”:
