Many miracles of modem living are made
possible by electricity, yet the electrical age
is still in its infancy. Greater things are
ahead. A survey just completed indicates
that America's use of electricity will triple
in the next 25 years, which means that you
and your neighbors will have more and
better electrical servants working for you.
And as science develops new ways for elec-
tricity'to benefit mankind. Central Power
and Light Company continues to build and
plan ahead — anticipating future needs
and making sure that an ample supply of
electric power will be available today and
tomorrow.

coat from the front, back and
sides to judge the fit. Decide
what causes tne wrinkles if there
are any. Lengthwise wrinkles
indicate too much width; cross-
wise wrinkles, not enough width:
diagonal wrinkles usually indi-
cate need of shoulders, sleeve, or
underarm alterations.
Have someone help you fit the
garment on yourself, or if you
have a dress form use that when
pin fitting. Pin darts, tucks, or
deeper seams to see if that will
remove the wrinkles. If figure is

probably will be different for
each side.

sharp-pointed scissors and puli

as needed so the new stitching
