~ Weaker Sex Wield Wicked Saw

By OPAL ,CROCKETT ‘WORSE BLOW to a bride than finding herself lighting her own cigarets is grim discovery she'll have to man the saw if she wants wrongs righted in the dream cottage. Big and masterful and full of promises, few men like to drive a nail. A man is tired after work. He's busy on days off with a golf game to play or fishing to be done. If his wife prods him into fixing the plumbing

she’s a nagger. If she waits till he's ready, he'll tackle the job on her mother’s first visit,

0 oe *, or <« ow

IF SHE dries the tears of disillusionment and picks up the hammer he'll suddenly be hungry and she’ll have to feed him. A wife can give up and decide marriage is like that or she has two recourses. She can prey on the man’s temder heart and coax .him from his newspaper long enough to help her with toggle bolts and molles. She can sell him on the idea that soldering together is fun. Or she can do the job herself--and lots of- women do. oe o» o> TO THE HARDWARE stores go the women for equipment to fix leaky faucets and install curfain rods husbands neglect. Instead of waiting to make the lists of plumbers and carpenters they operate push drills themselves, One woman bought $25 worth of tools with the announcement: “My husband isn't going to get away with pulling that old excuse about not having tools to work with.” Women ask for “gadgets” and “gismoes” but they pretty well size up the job they want to do, according ‘to Grover Grimes, in charge of the tool department in Vonnegut Hardware Co. downtown store. Last to laugh at their deseriptions is Mr. Grimes. He's limping around on a broken ankle for not sizing up the wall-cleaning Job he did. He stood on a kitchen stool instead of a stepladder.

LUCKY 18 the woman whose husband gives her a_hand--like Mrs. Edward M. Blackwell Jr. Fixing up their hougg in 519 N. Emerson Ave. is

_ one. of the many hobbies shared by the Black-

wells. Besides refinishing furniture they pick up at auction sales, Ed and Justyn make model trains and work with ceramics. Ed plays the piano and Justyn plays the violin. He's a commercial artist. She teaches art and collects dolls. It’s almost a contest with the Blackwells, While she turned out her own clothes, Ed bet he could whip up a pair of tweed slacks. And he did. He was so carried away with his work he turned out some well-tailored shirts, Everything in the Blackwell house is “old” and redone except the sewing machine, kitchen equipment and some prints done by Justyn and their friends. SD THE COFFEE table was an old library table, cut down and painted chartreuse. Saws in hand, the couple made a maple desk into an end table for the davenport that spreads out into twin beds. They built the bookcases and the lamp for the davenport. They painted the ‘green leaves on the walls, contrasting nicely with the Monterey red walls. They “antiqued” the huge old-fashioned dining table with leaves and the matching chairs. In the dining room there's a wonderful Viectorian wicker chair from a junk shop and a sideboard brought to Indifna from Virginia by Justyn’s grandmother, They've made some mistakes and righted them. They left out bracing in the living room lamp and the lamp buckled. The couple has all kinds of plans. Next on the list are a birdseye maple stand, china cabinet, 19th Century barrel seat and a red piano to bring back to natural finish.

AFTER THAT, there's their farm near Carmel to tackle. Between applications of varnish remover in town, they traipse to the country to weed out the poison ivy. 8, buzz, paint splashes and. the sewing m: acide hums in 519 N. Sherman Ave. There's a constant activity except with Cimarron-Cita, the. West Highland white terrier, and the sultyyeyed black Persian-ecat, Scheherazade.

To the Blackwells, work is play and it’s fun.

My Day— GOP History Repeating?

By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

HYDE PARK, July 8— As the. picture unrolls in Chicago at the National

Republican Convention and the fight over the delegates goes on, one has the curious feeling of watching history re-

Theodore Roosevelt ® walked out of a convention and started a third party against the father of one of the present contenders for the Republican presidential nomination. Third parties rarely win in their first try, but they do succeed in defeating the other contender in the same political party.

There seems no prospect of a third party in this situation, since Gen. Eisenhower has declared he will support whoever is nominated by the convention.

The regular Democratic politicians are probably watching the present situation in Chicago with some interest and perhaps satisfaction, I can’t help being a little sad about it even though it may benefit the Democrats in the long run.

The various Democratic. candidates are also watching their own particular differences and hoping- that -their candidacy will not be injured in any way.

SHE REFERRED to her-hus-band as “Ike” in an easy social tone, saying: “I shook hands with 3000 people yesterday, but I took off my big West Point ring—I learned that long ago—and my hand isn't sore at all. Ike shook hands with .5000.” She hadn’t been at the convention Monday afternoon and didn’t plan to go at night, she said. “I'm going to put on a robe and watch television,” she sighed comfortably. She hadn’t had a chance to rejoice with- the General over the ‘parliamentary victory of yesterday afternoon, she said. “He's been busy all the time in other rooms on our floor and 1 haven't seen him for a while, “The news is very encouraging. I feel confident—I feel that what's going to be is going to be, and whatever. happens will be right.” Asked if she is worried about the fact that her only son,

How to Travel Light With a Bottle Baby

Here's an idea for traveling light with a bottle baby: Divide formula into correct amount of boiled water and corn syrup required for each feeding. Pour. this mixture into the sterilized bottles. At mealtimes add the prescribed amount of canned evaporated milk by opening a fresh, small-sized can

at each feeding. This elimi-

nates both icing and heating the }

bottle and consequently does away with much paraphernalia.
