Some Extra Skirts Will Make
A Small Wardrobe Seem Larger
TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS . . . Mountains of Long Island,
N. Y., potatoes, nearly 4,000 bushels on the Charles McVay ranch at
Riverhead. They were purchased by the U. S. government at ap-
proximately $1.67 a hundred pounds. While Suffolk county potato
growers have enjoyed bumper crops this year, they are encountering
difficulties in getting their yields to market. Many of the potatoes
started to spoil in the field before freight cars were mude available.

WHO SAYS THERE’S A MEAT SHORTAGE . . . With retail butcher
shops closing in most cities, this is a rare scene at the Reevytown, N. J.,
abattoir, where owner, John Martiniuk, ex-G.I., decided to sell retail
at OPA prices his big supply of all kinds of meat. Martiniuk, who em-
ploys 12 butchers, all veterans, opened his slaughterhouse to the public
in order to keep his men on the job and at the same time give meat
hungry customers their favorite cuts. _____
TURNS NIGHT INTO DAY . . . Prof. Etienne Vassy, 37, expert on
atmospheric physics at Sorbonne university, Paris, pictured with his
wife in their laboratory as they announced discovery of formula for
turning night into day. By means of radio transmission of optical waves
directed at luminous strata. Professor Vassy says he will be able to
capture enough light from the sky to read without lamps or to drive
without headlights at night.
EISENHOWER HONORED IN EUROPE . . . More and more honors
were heaped upon Gen. Dwight Eisenhower on his trip through Europe.
With Mrs. Eisenhower, he is shown chatting with King George of Eng-
land at Balmoral, Scotland, where the Eisenhowers were guests of the
royal family. General Eisenhower previously visited the castle which
was presented him by the citizens of Scotland. Every city presented
him with medals and keys to the city. He was also given freedom of
the city wherever he appeared in Scotland and England.

Stripes have the quality of making

PHOSE of us who have small
— clothing budgets are constantly
looking for ways to make them ap-
pear larger without adding too
much extra expense to our allot-
ment. One big help to such a ward-
robe is an extra skirt or two, one
for sports or casual wear and an-
other one for dress-up occasions.
Fortunately, these skirts can be
added to the wardrobe if you are
handy with a needle and happen to
have a coat that is no longer fash-
ionable. Perhaps you have a tweed
sports coat that is showing too much

If you have enough blouses . . .
Patterns show perforations where
the pleats fold, and when cutting the
skirt these should be marked heav-
ily with chalk. Fold the pleats on
the line of the white chalk marks,
using straight and even lines. Pin
and baste carefully, working on a
flat surface so that you can pleat
the skirt all the way. It should be
basted carefully and then pressed
after you are certain the pleats
are even and correct.
In basting pleats it is best to baste
the center pleat first, then the ones
to either side. If- the skirt is pleat-
ed all over in front, the pleats will
overlap considerably at the waist-
line. In all cases of pleating, keep
the lengthwise grain of the fabric
as correct as possible; otherwise,
the skirt will appear lopsided and
will be difficult to wear.
Careful tailoring is required- in
making pleats, but it is possible
for even a beginner to do this cor-
rectly, provided she measures care-
fully and works correctly. Use pat-
tern directions and tape measure
discreetly.
Stitching is very important if the
finished skirt is to look nice, but
with good basting stitches to guide
you, there should be no difficulty in
this respect.
Hidden Zipper Gives
Smooth Fitting Skirt
Now that zippers are again avail-
able, plan to put one of them into
your skirt if you want a nice, smooth
look around the hips. Lay the closed
fastener along the unstitched side
of the skirt on the seam. Make sure

WHEN CONSTIPATION makes you feel
punk as the dickens, brings on stomach
upset, sour taste, gassy discomfort,
take Dr. Caldwell’s famous medicine
to quickly pull the trigger on lazy “in-
nards” and help you feel bright and
chipper again.
DR. CALDWELL'S is the wonderful sen-
na laxative contained in good old Syrup
Pepsin to make it so easy to take.
MANY DOCTORS use pepsin prepara-
tions in prescriptions to make the medi-
cine more palatable and agreeable to
take. So be sure your laxative is con-
tained in Syrup Pepsin.
INSIST ON DR. CALDWELL’S—the fa-
vorite of millions for 50 years, and feel
that wholesome relief from constipa-
tion. Even finicky children love it

With the wild rush to sport after ' it ha^been prot^
the war, this has been an abnormal can be fashioned into an attractive
skirt.
Soft wool spring or fall coats or
evening wraps might still be good,
although out of date, and they can
offer their material for the dressy
skirt.
If you’ve done any amount of sew-
ing, you know that making a skirt
is really a simple matter, much eas-
ier than a blouse or even a dress.
Tailoring and fit are very impor-

Black is the smart thing to wear
when you go to the city. It always
looks neat and smart, and pearl ac-
cessories show off well with it.
There’s much pocket interest in
the new suits. Some of them have
broad flaps, others are deeply
curved. There’s interesting stitches
on some of them too—all of which
adds a simple and elegant decora-
tive note to the costume.

“Fighting bade adieu to its
Traditions long ago,
And kissed its grimy hand
To sentiment,
When they took it to the steam heat
From the hail and rain and snow
And a champion aspired
To be a gent.”
I still recall a story Jim Corbett
once told me. Jim was fighting Joe
Choynski on a barge.
“I nailed him in the ninth round,”
Jim said, “and Joe fell to the floor.
I stooped and lifted him up. The
cheers were terrific. But I lifted
him so I could nail him again before
he recovered. Then the boos were
terrific.” Gentleman Jim Corbett
also knew his game.

hours of hustling competitive sport
each afternoon or night is another
story.
Even with the 154-game schedule
the number of weary, injured, be-
draggled ball players is something
greater than you might think. Ty
Cobb told me once that 154 games
was about all any hard-playing hus-
tler could handle.
“In the old days,” Ty said, “I
wasn’t a hold out. I simply didn’t
need or want all that early training
and all of those exhibition games.
I hunted all winter and kept my legs
in shape. I remember in 1911 I
didn’t join the Tigers until they
reached Evansville, six days before
the season opened. That year I
hit for .420 and stole 83 bases as
I recall it. One answer was that
I was still keen and fresh in August
and September when a lot of the
others were stale and tired.”

tant, however, and every care
should be taken to make the most of
the fabric you are using.
If you are using an old coat for
the skirt, rip apart all of the seams,
since the skirt must be recut en-
tirely. Use a pattern that gives
you attractive lines, and make sure
that you have plenty of material for
the skirt you wish to make.
Pleating a Skirt
Requires Care
If you have chosen to make a
pleated skirt, work on a flat surface
and have your basting thread and
needles handy, as you will need all
these helps.

the center of the zipper lies exactly
over the seam line, with the slider
down. Pin fastener in place easing
fabric slightly and using the pins
crosswise.
Baste fastener in place, using
large catch stitches, and keeping
straight and neat. Remove pins
and turn over the skirt.
Make a pocket at the top of the
placket to conceal the zipper by
basting 12 inch below the top of
the fastener and % inch from the
seam line and make the shaped end
% of an inch wide across the top.
Pivot needles at the corners when
stitching in the zipper.
All sewing authorities tell us that
it is much easier to insert the zip-
per when it is closed. If there is
enough material at the opening for
this fastener, it may be folded and
stitched as above to conceal the zip-
per. If there is not enough ma-
terial at the seam to do this, an
exdra piece will have to be stitched
in before putting in the zipper to
conceal it.
Do not remove the stitching on
the zipper or the seam until the
work is completed.
Too much can never be said on
the importance of having hems
properly sewed. But before this can
be done, see that you have selected
the proper length for your skirt.
Have someone else pin it up for
you if possible, or use one of the
hem markers if you must do your,
own.
Use a binding at the hem so that
it can be stitched properly without
being too bulky.

athlete who has lost his keenness,
who has grown stale, can be of
much help. The right sort of ball
player will keep in shape all win-
ter, through golf or hunting. The
spring training and the spring ex-
hibition campaign has been badly
overdone. Add 14 extra ball games
to the present list and it will mean
more baseball than most players
could handle—and still retain the
badly needed hustle.
Also with the additional 14 games
suggested, ball players’ salaries
should be lifted from 10 to 15 per
cent over the 154-game pay. With
the record attendances 1946 has of-
fered, you can look for a rousing
scrap on the part of the ball player
for a big jump, even at 154 games.
But who is going to see that the ball
player gets this percentage increase
above the demand he might make
for the present schedule?

Roughnecks in the Ring
It was James J. Corbett, a great
boxer and the smartest fighter the
game has ever known in or out of
the ring, who first set a . rather sour
example by being known as “Gen-
tleman Jim.”
For the ring is no spot for a gen-
tleman, or anything approaching the
same. And Jim Corbett was no gen-
tieman in any ring. He told me
this himself. The gentleman has
his club or his box at the opera
or track, but he is out of place.
It remained for Hughey Keogh,
years ago, to tell the true story:
“There was no high finance about
The game of spoiling mugs,
When the dear old tub from Boston
Was the King,
When we paid our honest tribute
To the other tanks and jugs
And the soiree with the raw ’uns
Was the thing.
Make It Wear?
Careful finishing on a garment
means.longer wear, whether you
are buying a garment or making
it yourself. Check the following
points to see whether garment
is well finished:
1., Stitching on buttonholes
should be firm with no sign of
fraying. See that buttons are
sewed firmly but not tight.
2. Check to see if all plackets
are neatly finished, trim and not
bulky.
3. Examine stitching to see
that it is even and neat, and that
all seams are held together.
The thread should match the fab-
ric so well that you cannot tell
too much of a difference between
them.
4. All seams should be at least
one-half inch deep. Pinked
seams are used for firm weaves
otherwise fabric will fray. Bound
seams are best for loosely wov-
en fabrics. French seams are
best for lightweight fabrics while
a double stitched seam prevents
fraying in a heavier type of fab-
ric.
5. Hemline should be straight
and of a length becoming to the
wearer. It should be of the same
depth all the way around, finished
with seam binding or turning un-
der.

Dempsey the Killer
Jack Dempsey, at heart, was
about as close to being a gentleman,
outside the ring," as anyone I’ve
known. But only outside the ring.
There he was kind, generous,
thoughtful and courteous. Inside the
ring he was a killer. Anything went.
I saw him once giving Max Baer
a few lessons.
“You can’t do that,” Baer said.
“It’s illegal.”
“You can get away with it once,”
Dempsey said. “I have.”
