An Old Bathrobe Csn 'Pop Up' As a Jeep Jacket for Daughter

week this year will be observed during the six-day period ending May 22, according to the Cotton-Textile institute and National Cotton council, sponsors of the event. Retail observance of the event will be concentrated for the most part on. those cotton goods which are in fairly liberal supply and on the cotton products that have been developed to take the place of the numerous items forced off retail shelves by the war. Retailers are expected to drive home to consumers the necessity of conserving supplies—sheets, underwear, socks, surgical supplies, etc.— that are short because of heavy buying for military purposes. Many stores have advised the institute that they are preparing special window displays which will dramatize the myriad uses of cotton in the war effort and how it has been dinade to serve on every front. That very theme, at the suggestion of these same retailers, has been adopted as the slogan for Cotton week.

Educational Programs

Cotton week is celebrated as a rule in many cotton growing and manufacturing centers with parades, balls and special educational programs in schools and colleges. A recent survey by the institute indicates that similar events will be held this year with some modifications in towns and cities located in the dim-out belt. All of these events will be built around the theme of cotton’s contribution to the war. As for supplies of cotton goods, the institute-council points to a recent statement by the war production board which predicted the eivilian supply of all textiles in 1948 should not fall more than 10 per cent below 1942, The civilian supply last year amounted to 8,876,000,000 yards, of which approximately 75 per cent was cotton goods. While this is less than the normal amount, federal regulations governing the manufacture of cotton apparel such as work clothing and shirts alone are expected to conserve a billion yards over the year. Part of the Cotton week program will be to popularize many of these new wartime styles.

FOOD

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

WANT A NICE, warm all-wool jeep jacket for active spring days when there may be a bit of winter’s chill lingering in the air, especially after “that evenin’ sun goes down?” It’s easy. Just poke around in dad’s or brother’s clothes closet and find that old bathrobe that surely must be there. Maybe it’s like the one used for the jeep jacket pictured above. This one had an objectionable checked collar, the moths had had several snacks off it, and it had the general dreary look of age. But it was good wool, and its camel’s-hair color is right in this spring’s fashion picture.

Pattern Available

ONE ENTERPRISING daughter {set to work and converted it into {the jeep jacket, which she can wear with slacks, separate skirts and jumpers for several seasons. Notable are the four patch { pockets, with their effective buttonhole slashes. The pockets, incidentally, camouflage a couple of the worst moth-damaged areas. You can get a cleverly designed pattern for making this jeep jacket out of a bathrobe. A man’s robe of smail size (33-t0-37 chest) will make a size 11 jacket.

My husband and I are the same age. People tell me to dish out to him what he dishes out to me. All I want is for my children to be happy and have a home. Won't you please help old-fashioned me? OLD FASHIONED. = = = Answer—It is not old-fashioned for a woman to want the exclusive devotion of her husband. The desire is so deeply imbedded in human nature that it cannot be called a fashion at all. As long as the family exists in its present form, women will be deeply disturbed by their husbands’ attentions to others. It threatens the security of themselves and children and leads to reprisals such as your friends have suggested. Your husband hasn’t quite outgrown his adolescence. He still fancies himself as a devastating bachelor “on the make.” I have no doubt that he speaks the truth when he says he loves you. It is simply that his love is immature and he hasn't learned to sacrifice minor pleasures for major satisfactions. He thinks he can have both but he is wrong about it. You have a right to object strenuously when he makes love to others, but don’t make yourself into a shrew when you do so. The trick is first to make your husband so dependent upon the warmth of your admiration and approval that when it is withdrawn he will try to win it back. If the object is to help him grow to mature manhood where he doesn’t need to repeat his courtship days over and over, what would it profit you to return to your own

The Decalogue For Obtaining Good Posture

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer

TAKE A MINUTE or two out of your busy day to look at your profile in a full-length mirror or as reflected in a shop window on your way to work. Note how it compates with the full-length profile of the soldiers and sailors you see. The chances are that the comparison will not be flattering to you and you will probably hastily throw back your shoulders in an effort to improve your figure and posture. That shoulder straightening gesture is not enough to overcome the slump you have fallen into, and the reason for trying to improve posture is not just to improve your appearance. You will feel better, you will not be so tired after the day’s work and you are more likely to escape accidents if your posture is good. Faulty posture, sitting or standing in a position which leads to a continuous strain on certain groups of muscles while others are unduly relaxed, is one cause of fatigue. The fatigue may lead to accidents. Fatigue of this sort plus continued poor posture may result in actual deformities. $ # @ POOR POSTURE that cramps the lungs prevents their getting the full quota of oxygen which the body requires. Circulation, digestion and elimination may all be impaired by faulty posture. Tall is the keyword to good posture. It runs through the 10 commandments for good posture which Dr. Philip Lewin, Chicago orthopedic surgeon, offers for “National Posture Week.” Here are the commandments which should be followed, not just this week, but every week: (1) Stand tall. (2) Sit tall. (3) Walk tall and “chesty” with weight transmitted to balls of feet. (4) Draw in abdomen, pulling it backward and upward. (5) Keep shoulders high and square. (6) Pull chin down toward collar button. (7) Flatten hollow of back by rolling pelvis downward and backward. (8) Separate shoulders from hips as far as possible. flat. (10) Think tall.

Today's week-end bride must carry her trousseau in a suitcase, so Mrs. Cookman has made a brown-and-white seersucker outfit that's a complete wardrobe. The bias-backed skirt and raglansleeved jacket are to go away in. On arrival, the bride can doff the jacket, don the brassiere bodice with its sun back, put on the matching shorts and be ready for sun bathing or a set of tennis. For dining, there's a long skirt to be worn with the bodice and jacket.
