You Still Have Time
To ‘Get In
Running
For Sewing Prizes
LL HOME seamstresses
still have time to win that
exciting 3-day all-expense-paid holiday in New York, complete with a stay atthe Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, plus a round of luncheon parwes, dinners, theater parties, a
gala fashion show--all this fun and an extra cash award of
$100, This--as every contestant in our Times National Sewing
Contest will recognize-—is the grand prize given to the lucky eight national winners, And there's a good possibility that a contestant who wins one of the local prizes will be a for. tunate national winner, tog. As soon as she wins first prize here, her garment is sent to New York where ft will be in competition with other local first-prize entries representing many major cities throughout the country -- and she could easily be one of the eight whose garment is chosen’ by the national judges, Hers are a4 few reminders about our rules with which contestants should he thoroughly familivr, No one can win even our smallest prize without sticking to every rule, ” » n
FIRST, READ ALL the details on the registration blank. One of these blanks (printed In this newspaper during the contest period) must be attached to each garment submitted, There is no limit to the number of garments one contestant may submit. Any number of them will be acceptable, so long as each is accompanied by an entry blank, Next, make sure that every entry fits into one of the eight classifications of the competition which offers a great variety ‘of possibilities to home seamstresses of all ages. Coats, suits, tatlored dresses, afternoon dresses, evening, lounge or beach clothes, negligee ensembles, clothes for children
from two to eight years old,’
dresses, coats and sults of origipal design, and date or school dresses, and suits or coats made by students in junior and senior high school-—are all possible entries. * Contestants who are work~ ing on garments now, and those who are choosing their terns and fabrics, might ld everything for a moment and double check to make sure the garments fall into one of the classification. Amazing but true, are the number of entries received éach year which do not apply to the contest, Beautiful petticodts, slips, blouses, gloves, hats and bags are the most common among the items which have to be disqualified. We expect this year the petticoats will be coming in a heap. «They are perfectly wonderful with their soft ruffies, lovely lace, velvet and even 'rhinetrims -- but unless they are meant to be worn under one of the garments submitted, leasé, please do not send them, tticoats cannot be judged separately for there is no classification for them in our contest, » » »
THE SAME RULE applies to blouses. They are not acceptable a8 a unit, either. Sometimes, though, someones might make a blouse of the same fabric as the lining of a wool suit and sub the entire ensemble. This often is original, attractive and well-made, but during the

judging, only the suit will be under consideration. Why not save time and trouble by making the entries as simple and unembellished as possible? We always get re ports from the national judges, after each contest is over-—and our local judges feel the same way, too —- that garments are most attractive and satisfac tory when they have simple, interesting lines, well-executed, and made from attractive fab~ rics suitable for the design of the garment, For example, the tailored dress entry which was selected as a national winner last year was made of a plain chambray in a subtle shade of lavender, its simplicity offset only by interesting tucking on the bodice, Similarly, the winning high school dress entry had white stitching around the collar and yoke as its only trim, and the top high school suit was a classic type but the talloring job was superb. So, don't try to overdo it with fancy touches designed to catch the judges® attention, ” » ” REMEMBER, THEY ARE specialists in the fashion field, and they eventually get down to basics ~~ design and workmanship—when judging a garment. TT In connection with the “little effects,” we would like to re peat a plea we make year after year, It has to do"with jewelry and other ornaments and accesgories which are submitted with entries. They do look good on clothes when you- actually wear them and are choice ace cessory accents, but so often they are indeed valuable, For owners’ protection, w detach them from each gare ment, tag them and put them away safely to be sure each ornamental plece is returned to the right contestant when the contest is over. It would be helpful to the local and national judges if this step could be eliminated for it needs to be attended to at the busiest time of the contest. Another word of caution to all who are making prom dresses, bridal outfits and other special occasion clothes. Make sure you won't need them for a party or wedding during or immediately after the contest period. If a garment wins a prize in our contest, it is sent to New York, as described before, and even if it doesn't win there, it has & good chance of being shown as a runner-up in the fashion show on June 32. It be necessary, In that case, to allow at least two weeks after that for the return of the garments. ‘Be sire to plan everything accordingly. Everyone who follows the rules has an excellent chance of getting a share of the handsome winnings. And once the garment -is conipleted, press it well, wrap it meticulously in tissue paper to avoid wrinkles, and fasten the box securely so the contents will not spill out— and, of course, don't forget to attach an entry blank legibly filled in, with each garment,

Use of Adult Rules Takes Time
By MURIEL LAWRENCE NE DAY, when the little girl 'was about 8 years old, her new teacher gave the class’ a spelling test.
“Put your books away,” sald
the teacher briskly. “If you don't know your words now, you never will.” * Then, as the class scribbled names at the top of their yellow sheets, the teacher began to pace up and down aisles, enunclating ‘words with care the way spelling teachers do: “ . + ker-nel” she sald, “bas-in =, , orn...” When she came to the word

for-
“orange,” a strange thing hap-~
pened to the little girl. Where the previous words had shaped themselves neatly and quickly in her brain, flowing smoothly from her mind down through the pencil to the yellow paper, the word “orange” would not pull itself together. Although she closed ‘her eyes tight and tried to see it as it had appeared in the spelling book, she could not recall whether its third létter was an “a” or a “vu.” Suddenly inspiration flooded

her. Seizing her spelling book from under her desk, the little girl opened it and began to hastily copy the word “orange.” As she scribbled, she thought happily, “What a wonderful discovery I have made. How foolish we ‘have been to fuss so about remembering spelling words when all you have to do is open your book and look at
. the answers.”
=n » ~ I WAS THE little girl and so I can still remember how
shocked I was when my yellow paper was snatched from my desk by the new teacher. Just as though it had happened last week, I can remember my amazed horror when I was pulJed from my seat and the new teacher said, “Look at her, children. She has been cheating.” It would have been kinder of my teacher to expose my deceit without self - righteous
contempt. My deceit was uncon-
scious, It was not a conscious intent to “defraud” or “swindle” others to profit myself. It required instruction, rather than condemnation, My teacher should have said to me, “Muriel, you must not look in your spelling book during a test because the idea of the test is to discover ‘if you can write down the words from memory.

your book and the other children have to depend upon their memory, it is unfair. That is why we call looking in books during tests ‘cheating.’ ” ~ n ~ IN A BOOK called “Parents’ Questions,” compiled by the Child Study Association of America, there is this helpful statement: “Most children are not ready for orthodox rules and real competition until they are 9- years old or so.” What we think of as cheating in children is sometimes just the straightest line between two points, Billy wants to win the game of Old Maid he is playing with his mother. When he grabs two cards instead of one from her hand, he keeps them both and says nothing because it seems just a simple and efficient means to his end. -. Since Billy is only 6, his moral sense is just growing in, like his two front teeth. So we do fiot blast him the way we would . someone with a whole set of second teeth and a cone scious knowledge of moral law, We just put our cards down and say to Billy, “The rule says one card, not two. If you would like to play another game, we can, but if we are going to play Old Maid, darling, we must both obey the rules.” Honesty is a virtue acquired through instruction and love.
India Women Like Politics
Times Special NEW YORK, Apr. 7—In the
first national election just completed in India, America’s sister republic in Asia, the world’s largest body of women voters has exercised its right of franchise. It is estimated that of the 177 million eligible voters in India (anyone 21 years old and of sound mind may vote, according to the new Constitution adopted just two years ago), half are womeh. This staggering figure of nearly 90 million compares with the number of women eligible® to vote in the United States (as of last presi-
dential election) estimated at 48,155,000.
Figures are not yet available of the actual number of women who went to the polis in the country which is the bulwark of democracy in Asia, but judging from the active part Indian women have already played in
- shaping India’s history and the’
bringing into being of the new independent nation, it is believed that the proportion is high. fim Particularly interesting to American women as their own country approaches again another nation-wide presidential election is the fact that in India, according to Madame Vijayalakshmi Pandit, formerly India’s Ambassador to Washington, “of all’ the professions dpen to women today in India . the most eagerly sought after is -

“QHEER stockings are no longer a luxury, but a
fashion accessory for your
wardrobe,” says Miss Tricia Brohan, Bur-Mill Cameo Fashion: Co-ordinator. She cleared up a lot of the mystery about stockings.
First off, what about “freezing” nylons? Does it make them snag-proof and give extra wearing qualities? Miss Brohan says the answer is “no.”
Burlington Mills, manufacturer of Cameo stockings and one of the largest hogiery manufacturers in the country, con~ ducted extensive experiments when this fad broke out about a year ago. If freezing stockings gave them better quality, they wanted to know about it.
» » - THE NET RESULT .was Zzero—nothing added, nothing subtracted from the wearing
quality of the stockings. Once and for all—freezing stockings is a waste of effort.
Another point to clear up is whether nylons are of as high quality as they were when they first came out before the war. Many women complain that their stockings do not wear as long as they did in 1942. The answer is that the first nylon stockings were 30 denier which is considerably sheerer than the sheerest rayon or silk stocking, Everyone was afraid they would not “wear” as they were so sheer,

Sees Real Future for the Indonesians
By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT NEW YORK, Apr, T— Before I leave my round-the-world trip behind
me, I want to tell you about
a very eventful day we spent in Indonesia. I want to tell my newspaper readers about ; this comparatively new, independ ~ ent country not only because of its g beauty, but because of the vast amount of work and the the interest in the country’s free women possess, It rains a great deal in

changed and women demand even sheerer stockings, Now 30 denier nylons are considered - equivalent to the old “service weight” in silk and women are wearing 15 denier hose which are twice as sheer, for every day. Naturally they do f§jot last as long as 30 denier. But if this is all confusing to
many parts of the island and we had several showers. I talked a great deal with the Indonesian ladies and tried to answer some of their questions, They have many rights under their new constitution, but they seefn to feel that perhaps they are not taking complete advantage of them. I saw a good deal of government housing which had recently been built and seemed very "nice. The housing is as bad there as everywhere else in the world.

Freezing Stockings Called
‘a Waste’
you, lets have an explanation of these technical terms used in stockings. Denier refers to the thickness of the thread used in’ knitting the nylons, A 30 denier thread is twice as heavy as a15 denier. Hose of 20 denier are a Happy medium, combining sheerness with serviceability,
. » THERE IS something else, however, that determines the serviceability of nylons and that is gauge, which means the
number of stitches pér inch, The more stitches per inch a stocking has, the more snag. resistant it becomes. Most stockings of fine quality are 80 gauge. Cheaper hose may run as low as 40 gauge. Service weight 30 denier hose may be 51 gauge because the thread is heavier.
In order to get the mest out of your nylons it is important to choose the right weight for the occasion, Generally 15 den jer hose, called Nylomist by Cameo, are for dress. The 20 denier hose, called Nyle de Chine, are favorites for business and general wear, The 30 denier are for sport oc. casions, golfing, tennis, riding and hiking where your stockings are subject to exceptional strain or are worn with heavy shoes. % . Cameo stockings are carried at Block's and you will find them moderate in price and high in quality. They range from $1.25 to $1.65 a pair. (By Betty Locher.)
tunity to talk. I found the President and his wife charming and interesting and I enjoyed the members of the government whom I met, They are interesting men, trying to get a new government started and trying to solve many problems. I was particu« larly happy to find the Indonesian ladies accepting the ree
sponsibility to take an active part in meeting the new probe lems of their democratie government,
Indonesia seemed to me a beautiful cotintry. The vegetation is tropical and the land is very fruitful. I am sure that a ‘real future lies ahead for this country as it develops, if the people keep to their high ideals,
