Consider Plans for Saving on Matches
Match manufacturers and WPB are considering a number of plans whereby matches and the vital materials they use may be conserved. | Among these are: Reducing the| length of the book match staples a quarter of an inch, which will save | 20 per cent of the steel wire required, or about 100 tons of steel annually. Reduction of the length of wooden matches by a quarter of an inch, | saving about seven million board] feet of wood. Elimination of all] “frills” on book matches, including! varnishes and lacquer finishes, spe- | cial mailing and wrapping.

may not be so fortunate. Muddy flood waters undoubtedly ruined all non-washable fabrics re-| maining in flooded homes.

Treating Mud Stains MUD STAINS WHICH are treat. ed carly can usually be removed by water washing with a mild soap. No more drastic treatment is safe on wool, rayon or colored fabrics. White cottons may be bleached with a mild chlorine solution. Shoes, too, may be worth saving if they were origally of good quality and have not been exposed to water for too long a period, Miss Martin says, They must be dried away frem heat. Placing the shoes on shoe trees, or stuffing them with paper

Work shoes or heavier leathers may be softened with neat's-foot oil, tallow, wool grease or a combination of these. The oil penetrates best if applied warm and with a soft cloth, It should be used on both uppers and soles, but any oil should be kept off rubber heels.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-I am a girl of 14. Fear is my problem. When I was small, I was told never to go outside alone. The year I was in the first grade, my sisters would tell me, when I was going home from school, that I was in danger of being hurt by animals, They would thus laugh at my fear, I have tried every way I know to overcome being frightened. I can't stand to be in the house unless someone is with me. My mother died when I was 11 years old. It has been much harder for me since her death. I have two sisters, one married and the other in college. I saw the show of “The Night Monster.” It affected me very much. It was hard for me to keep thinking about something else and it still ds.* I am a freshman in high school and am very much ashamed of myself. I know of no one who is afraid to stay in the house alone. I have been this way ever since I can remember. I have been much more afraid lately. Now my father sits by my bed until I fall asleep at night. Please help me. FRIGHTENED CHILD.
Answer—You have figured out for yourself that you aren't afraid of anything that exists in reality. Now that you are a big girl you know you won't encounter any animals on your way to and from school. You know there is nothing in the house to harm you. Still you are afraid and you don't know what frightens you. Since there is nothing outside of yourself to frighten you, maybe it is something inside yourself. After all your sisters didn't treat you very kindly and perhaps you felt unloved as a small child. Maybe it is the fear of being unloved and unwanted that is at the back of the whole business. I suggest this as the root of the trouble because things have been harder for you since your mother's death. In other words you felt there was less love to protect you after she was gone. The fact that you requirs your father to sit beside you until you fall asleep rather indicates that you need this attention as proof that he loves you, and when you receive proof you feel less afraid. : Maybe if you attack your problem from this angle you'll feel better. ‘That is, when you feel afraid of something unknown, just think to yourself, “Maybe I'm just afraid that people don't love me.” You
|| can DO
something about that, you
