Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH One of the most delicate fab-rics of all, when it comes to wash-ing, is wool. Extremely hot water will actually destroy wool fibers, so never put woolens in anything hotter than lukewarm water. Don't let them soak for any length of time; don't wring them or twist them; don't hang them up to dry. Wash them quickly, squeeze the water out gently, and spread them flat for drying. If you must hang a woolen gar-ment up to dry, first pin it or baste it to a turkish towel, and hang the towel and all over the line. Or, dry it indoors by spread-On- e of the best ways to keep a clothesline clean is to take it in-doors when it's not being used, and that's a simple job if you screw eyes into the posts and fasten hooks on the ends of the line. Mighty handy when a sudden summer shower pops up and you want to get the line indoors in a hurry. To avoid having woolen gar-ments turn stiff and hard after washing, add a few drops of glycerine or a pinch of borax to the wash water. If you want to shrink a woolen garment deliberately before the first time it's washed, soak it in cold water for about two hours; then spread it out to dry without stretching it in any way. ing the towel on a clean window screen and resting the screen be-tween two chairs so that the air can get at both top and bottom. When your clothesline needs washing, coil it around a wash-board or a piece of wood about that size; stand it in a tub of hot soapy water, and scrub it thor-oughly with a brush. To avoid twisting and tangling, let it dry right on the board, and put it up again when it's completely dry. WOAIN WOUP Adult's Clothing Can Yield Good Materials for Child's Wardrobe ; By Ertta Haley MOST MOTHERS have found that expensive to outfit chil-dren completely from ready-mad- e clothing, but the cost can be cut if only some of the wardrobe has to be purchased. Even though you may not have other youngsters who pass their clothing on to younger members of the family, the child's own clothes often have remake possi-bilities. Clothing from mother and daddy can frequently yield good material for a child's wardrobe. No child, no matter how small, will be enthusiastic about clothing which is unattractive, and who can blame him or her? Children have an innnte sense of styling and col-or which may come from their be-ing admired in something nice. At any rate, whatever you remake, do it carefully, with a flair for style, so your efforts are put to good purpose. Fabrics which you draw from old clothing should be clean. If the garment can be laundered, well and good; otherwise, have it cleaned professionally. Laundered old clothing should be pressed before you start remaking It or you cannot get the material straight enough to use for cutting. Garments should be taken apart at the seams for restyling. If the gerie, or even with clothes the gill herself has outgrown. Take, for example, the outgrown dress in a pretty pastel shade. This can be converted into a sundress, or pinafore, if you simply cut off the bodice and restyle it with an apron effect with a bib front. Use straps over the shoulders that con-tinue to a waistband that ties in the back. Cuttings can be used to fashion wide ruffles to edge the shoulder straps. Old organdie formals or dis-carded sheer curtain material dyed a luscious pink, blue, aqua or yel-low are excellent sources for ma-terial If you plan to make a starchy pinafore the little girl can wear for dress occasions, either over a dress or over slip and blouse. Sim-- Eyelet adds wear to dresiet .... clothing used Is more than ample, save time and simply cut apart at the seams. After you have the old material cut from old clothing, tint or dye as necessary. You may have bet-ter looking clothing If you simply add color to faded out clothing, than using It as is, In its washed out appearance. Old Knit Suits Those little cotton knit suits which your toddler-going-on-tw- o has worn since fourteen or sixteen months of age or earlier will un-doubtedly be showing signs of be-ing too small right about now. You'll find that most of them will still fit through chest and shoul-ders, but they're useless with their pants. Cut the shirt off the pants at the waist and hem the bottom of it. It may be worn with slacks or overalls for several months in this ply use a pinafore pattern that you like and cut from the material as you would from yard goods. What about those old pinafores which the girl has outgrown? Add an extra inch or two which she needs at the bodice by inserting a band of eyelet trimming. Then add length to the garment with an eye-let ruffle at the skirt and she can have another year's wear from it. Old maternity dresses which you never want to see again have plen-ty of material In them for gay dresses, especially If they're char-ming prints. The skirt of one dress has enough material for a two or three year old's dress or two sun suits for a small boy. Fashion Light Coats From Old Clothes coats for the children are considered an extravagance to buy, but there's many a day when you'd like them to have something lightweight to wear. You probably have enough material at home for a coat project If you check the sources. An old lightweight wool and ray-on topper, either yours or your husbands would be ideal. Perhaps you have some discarded men's white flannels that are too small or too yellowed ever to be used again. For yellowed woolens such as flannel, use beige or light blue dye, and you'll have a nice shade for either boy or girl. The collar can be faced with scraps of matching velveteen of the same color. Brighter shades of old material can be dyed navy blue. Brass but-tons and scarlet lining will give you a beloved classic reefer style. Any materials you may use for a coat project will be all or at least part wool, and you can ex-pect some shrinkage when the fab-ric Is dyed. Careful pressing, how-ever, will restore much or all of the loss to the material. Use a warm iron and a damp cloth over the material when pres-in- While drying the material, keep away from both intense heat and cold. Should the material used have a combination of several types of fibers in it, or if you're not cer-tain Jn?t what it contains, it's wise to use an dye. Add New Trimmings To Hand-Me-Dow- If little sister is anything but enthusiastic about her big sisters clothes which she always inherits, embark on a project of redeco-rating the old clothes. Pastel dresses which are faded can be dyed bright shades, and that will give them an entirely new look. Best results are achieved if you dye a bright shade of the col-or already in the garment, like red for pink, deep, royal blue for light blue and gold for yellow. Of course, you can add blue to a yellow dress and get green, or pink and tan to white to get ice cream pink, etc. while dyeing gives new sbirtu state. Overalls can be made inex-pensively from some of Dad's .work shirts, an old seersucker housedress of yours, or even a corduroy skirt. These little knit shirts which you've converted to "T" shirts for overalls are usually pastel shades which are not as practical for the toddler who gets more soiled. Deep tones such as navy, wine or brown, to which they can be dyed, will be more serviceable. Overalls and slacks which are worn at the knees can be used again, if they are still large enough, if you place decorative patches on the knees. These can be very clever, indeed, if they're cut in the shape of animals and in a con-trasting shade and then sewed to the knees. Sweaters which have become too short in the sleeves can have these cut oft and the armholes bound to prevent raveling with a knit or contrasting binding. You'll then have a slip-ov- type sweater which keeps tots covered. These are nice to wear over a shirt. Old corduroy overalls or other pieces of similar material of your own can be made into butcher boy or boxy Jackets which are excel-lent to wear with slacks or over-alls, for both boys and girls. Little Girls' Clothes Require Charming Trim Your little daughters can look charming in clothes that require little material, and a little bit more of trimmings.

Wilkinson tlfHEN a man's flat on his face financially speaking. I mean he'll take any kind of a job. That's my excuse for playing nursemaid to Julia Upton. Bodyguard that's what Moe Langdon, her producer called me. You see, there'd been a kidnapping scare and Julia was 3U, right at the top "f the heap that I year a tempt ing morsel for abductor.?, and Moe figured she needed looking after. Also, he fig-- , ured the publicity wouldn't do her any harm. "After all," he grinned, "you were fullback, and when the public reads that you're riding herd over little Julia" "A swell friend you are!" I snapped. "My pal!" I stopped. He was still grinning, the grin that meant It was hopeless for me to argue. "How much will you pay?" "Two hundred bucks a week and wnat sweet, easy money." He was right, it was sweet, easy money providing a man didn't have any pride. I earned every dime of that 200 bucks. I wasn't used to being ordered around by a little chit of a redhead. "Tomorrow morning," she'd say, "we're going horseback riding. Be at the house at 9." Or: "Tonight the Keanes are giving a party." I guess my attitude must have ' shown how I felt. At any rate, Julia began taking a delight in putting me on the spot making me pose for pictures, making me attend afternoon teas where I'd be the only man present-st- uff like that. There came a time three weeks later when Julia wanted to go for a drive In the country. We drove to-ward Santa Barbara, were half way there when It flashed across my mind that she was due at the studio for a rehearsal at 3 o'clock, and at this rate she wouldn't be there. I told her she'd better turn around and head back. She said she was tired of rehearsals and said how did I expect to make her if she didn't want to go? "Like this," I said, and switched off the Ignition and pulled up the brake. She was furious. She wouldn't get out of the driver's seat. So I lifted her up In my arms, and it was such a swell opportunity I kissed her. She swore at me real cuss words and because I knew this would end my sweet, easy money Job I kissed her again, then plumped her down in the seat and got be-hind the wheel .... DIDN'T bother to contact Moe. I Instead I moved from my one room home Into an apartment, and the next day set out to find myself a job. I had expected the papers would be full of my discharge from Julia's employ, but they weren't. Not a word. And this got me to thinking that maybe she wasn't quite as bad as I thought. As a matter of fact, I got to thinking other things too mostly about Julia. Two weeks later Moe Langdon called me up. "Listen, you dub, Julia's been kidnapped and it's your fault. They want $50,000. It's got to be delivered to a rendezvous . . . ." "Tomorrow morning," she'd say, "we're going horseback riding. Be at the house at 9 o'clock." There was a guy waiting at the top of the pass when I got there. He grinned at me when I gave him the dough. "Where's" Julia?" I said. He Jerked a thumb over his shoulder. "Two miles back, In a cabin. Follow the trail." I ran all the way to the cabin. Julia was inside, bound and gagged. I didn't know the extent of my re-lief, and apparently Julia didn't know hers. "I could have had you fired from your old job," she said, "just the way I made Moe Langdon hire you for my bodyguard. But I didn't want to. I wanted you to to satiate your old pride." "Wait a minute," I said. "How about this kidnapping business?" "It was your own fault," she said. "You you were sc stubborn. You wouldn't call me up. I had to do something." "Then it was a gag?" She didn't say anything. Just stared at me. Well, I thought, what's the use? I'm destined to look after this kid the rest of my life, and I might as well like it.
