The blonse itself is a welcome addition ad-dition to the wardrobe because It can be worn the year 'round with skirts and suits. backs, if the chair is of that type. If the chair is odd-shaped make a cushion and cover for the seat, using us-ing two pieces of heavy fabric to fit the seat and placing a layer of cotton between these two and stitching around the edge. Cut a top and bottom for the pad out of the fabric you want for the color scheme, place in position, binding or cording it., Attach ties for this, and have these come around the two back legs to hold the cushion and cover in place. After you are certain the pleats fit as you want them, machine stitch. The final pressing is done while the pleats are pinned together togeth-er to make sure they will stay together to-gether properly. Use a damp press cloth and press only moderately moder-ately hard. ' Remove the basting threads and then press again to remove any marks caused by these threads. Most slipcover materials do not ravel easily, and if the seams are cut with pinking shears, they will not have to be finished any further. If you want to use a binding or cording for trimming, baste this in place and then stitch so that it will not show too much. For simple summer slipcovers, this binding is not used often, although it is perfectly per-fectly proper if you desire it. Secret of Pressing No garment can really look professional until it is carefully pressed. In sewing, for instance, it's a fundamental rule to press all seams after they are stitched, and definitely do so before one seam is attached to another. See that the board is well padded pad-ded with cotton, flannel or muslin. mus-lin. If there is any lumpiness in the board, it will show up on the1 garment when it is pressed. All pressing cloths should be free of sizing or dressing or lint, and should be washed frequently. frequent-ly. A heavy muslin is best for wool while 'light-weigh muslin is regarded as best for other material ma-terial A sponge may be used for applying ap-plying water to seams for opening open-ing them. Place a press cloth over the material, sponge and press. , Tailor's cushions should be used to press the rounded parts of the garment such as pockets pock-ets or seams that are curved. These may be purchased or made at home from two oval pieces of cloth, and filled with kapok or wadding. Before pressing any fabric, test a piece of the material to gee how much heat the fabric will take and then adjust the iron accordingly. Shoes for summer still include the popular wedgie. See them in all colors to match the summer costume. cos-tume. Notice the interesting effects achieved by the use of straw iu summer hats and handbags.

SENATE MONSTROSITY WASHINGTON. - Seldom has a senate committee been so loath to put its name to a piece of legislation legisla-tion as the senate banking and currency cur-rency committee which finished sabotaging the price control bill recently. About all that was left ot the bill was its name. When it came to signing it, New York's Senator Wagner, chairman of the banking and currency committee, com-mittee, flatly refused. He pointed out, in a closed-door session, that he had opposed the emasculating amendments and would submit his own minority report. Senator Taft, who did more than almost anyone to tear the bill to i pieces, also hesitated. He said he had his own bill which he wanted to Introduce. Finally someone proposed that the senators' names be signed in a circle, cir-cle, so the public could not tell who signed first "It reminds me," said Kentucky's Ken-tucky's Alben Barkley, "of the young man who shot his mother and father, then appealed to the court for leniency on the grounds that he was an orphan." or-phan." NOTE Finally, Senator Barkley agreed to report the gutted OPA bill to the senate, but accompanied by a stinging criticism of the way the OPA had been virtually destroyed. de-stroyed. PATIENT LAUNDRY LEW Secretary of Labor "Laundry Lew" Schwellenbach is a patient man. He learned the virtue of patience pa-tience as a Spokane laundryman when he had to handle customers' complaints about frayed collars and lost shirts. Patient as he is, Lew has had a tough time with his boss in the White House during the maritime mari-time strike negotiations. Shortly after the talks began, Schwellenbach called on the unions, the shipping people, and government officials to say nothing which would arouse feelings and Imperil the negotia tions. The very next morning, however, Lew's boss in the White House did exactly the opposite op-posite by announcing plans to use the navy to break the strike. This, of course, put the ship owners in a favored position. They were no longer under any compulsion to settle before the strike deadline. When patient Laundry Lew heard this, even he hit the ceiling. Then the navy announced, with White House backing, that it was calling on its reserves and volunteers volun-teers to break the strike. Again this played into the ship owners' hands; again the secretary of labor was upset Finally, he sent Assistant Sec. of Labor John Gibson to the White House with a personal appeal to the President to refrain from prejudicing prejudic-ing the negotiations. Truman agreed, issued a statement saying the government hoped for settle ment, did not want to be put in the position of breaking the strike. . CABINET CONFIRMATIONS American history shows that Presidents of the United States have had more difficulty with senate confirmation con-firmation of the seetary of the treasury than any other cabinet post. In all, 10 different votes have been cast by the senate defeating defeat-ing confirmation of cabinet members. mem-bers. The first of these was "Andrew Jackson's fight to appoint Roger B. Taney as secretary of the treasury. Jackson was defeated. Second senate battle was President Presi-dent Tyler's attempt to appoint Caleb Cushing as secretary of the treasury. Tyler forced three different differ-ent votes in the senate, to confirm Cushing, but lost each time by large majorities. Tyler also had trouble appointing David Henshaw as secretary sec-retary of the navy, and James M. Porter as secretary of war. The next senate fight over cabinet cabi-net confirmation occurred in the administration ad-ministration of Andrew Johnson, when he attempted to appoint Henry Stanbery as attorney general, gen-eral, but was defeated. Calvin Coolidge also lost a fight to appoint Charles B. Warren as attorney at-torney general. The Grst vote on Warren was the famous occasion when Vice Pres. Charley Dawes failed to be present His excuse was that he was napping and bis alarm clock failed to go off. However, Coolidge, who never got along with Dawes, always suspected that his vice president wanted to avoid being put on the spot by a tie vote, which he, as presiding pre-siding officer, would have had to break.

Johnny and Mike Hodcina of the composing room brought in this clipping, which Editor & Publisher quoted from a mid-west paper. "Pa," said the subscriber's little daughter, "why do editors always refer to themselves as we'T" "So that" replied papa, "the fellow fel-low who doesn't like what is printed about him will think there are too many for him to lick." Several correspondents have reported re-ported that the American occupation occupa-tion of western Germany is proceeding proceed-ing according to anything but the plan set at Potsdam. . . . One of the staff, who recently returned from there, explained: "The DPs ' are getting kicked around while some Nazis live in comfort. That's at the bottom. At the top, German Industrialists are being helped back into power instead of being indicted in-dicted as war criminals. It seems that the Nazi occupation of Germany Ger-many is proceeding smoothly and the Hitlerites are determined that the U. S. zone will soon be com- . pletely de-Americanized."
