Perhaps one Is that contributing reasons for this not all women have learned how to use equipment or know short-cut- s ttiat will make the Ironing easier. If you want to save time ironing, start preparing for It while doing the washing. If, for example, you have a flat wringer, then fold sheets, towels and other flat work, so there wont be millions of wrinkles when Ironing time comes along. You also will find that shaking out the clothes before they are put on the line will save more time later than It takes to do this little By KATHLEEN NORRIS ALL the families in your books have one characA teristic, writes Nadine Car- Ironing Ease Vatch temperatures for ironing , . , ing the day when you do regular ironing much lighter. Seersuckers, corduroy play clothes, crinkle crepe clothing, jersey slips and underwear, woolen or cotton blanket's, and curtains will need to be touched up lightly with the iron. When these are removed from the list of clothing to be ironed, you can easily see this does not leave too much of the hard work. 1 Dampening Clothes Properly Saves Time and Work Moisture makes fabrics easier to iron because they are made more pliable. Linens and cottons, which are relatively brittle fibers, require more moisture than rayons. Many women have not yet learned the trick of using hot instead of Done by band or by machine. cold water for sprinkling. Hot water, however, penetrates the fibers more easily and evenly, and this makes the fabric slide more evenly under the iron. Garments should be folded neatly so no more wrinkles than necessary are introduced in them.

HENRY IN THE LAND OF COTTON Henry Wallace, Progressive party presidential candidate, fared but fill during bis campaign tour through the South when he discovered that the people there weren't having any of the political ideas that he preached. As a relief from the moral battering he was taking from his southern audiences, Wallace turned now and then to more basic things. Here, at Boaz, Ala., be talks about cotton with Robert Knott who has 20 acres of it and onght to know something about it. Shorts are turned out on the double with a folding electric iron. One leg Is placed inside the other and the shorts aro ironed donble thickness over the small diameter roll, as is done in flat work. When the ironer has single knee control, both hands are left free to guide the ironing through the machine. portions such as hems and cuffs should be turned inside so they do not dry. If you store the dampened garments in a large plastic square rather than a sheet or towel, they will keep better until ready for ironing. Its also a good idea to knead the clothes slightly as they are rolled or folded 1o distribute the moisture in them more evenly. Dampened clothes should be held for at least SO minutes before ironing. In the cold weather they can be kept overnight, provided there is not too much dampness in the In warm weather, atmosphere. keeping them dampened for more than two or three hours may bring about mildewing. Ironing Temperatures Should Be Observed Most irons have a gauge telling you how hot the iron should be for ironing. Use this if you do not already do so. On fabrics which you do not know about, start with a cool iron aqd see how it works. Work up gradually on the heat if cool and warm will not take out the wrinkles. In general, the silks, rayons and synthetics require a warm to moderately hot iron. Wool requires a moderate temperature unless you use a damp cloth over it, in which case you may use a hotter temperature. Light and starched cottons use a hot iron while heavy linens and cottons use the highest temperature on the iron. Its a good idea to start the iron ing with those fabrics which require low temperatures and work up to those which use the hotter temperatures. You'll save time skipping around, and also save on the fuel bill by using this more efficient method. These same tips should be ob served when you are using an automatic electric ironer. Start with the things that need warm temperatures and work upwards. Make Easy Work Of Small Pieces Small pieces in the weekly laundry frequently assume large proportions when it comes to ironing tune. Sheets, tablecloths and shirts usually get first attention but the smaller items such as underwear, towels and napkins as well as handkerchiefs take up the most time although most of these are fairly simply ironed, especially if you have an automatic electric ironer. Napkins and towels are more easily ironed if you place several of them on the roller at one time And if you can persuade daughter or son to sit alongside of you and fold these items for you as they come through after the first and second time, the task is speeded easily. , Run several handkerchiefs through at the same time also. When handkerchiefs are folded, you can run through as many as four to six or even more when you have womens handkerchiefs An electric ironer with a small diameter roll, open at each end, is easy to use because garments can be slipped readily over the roll for ironing. If you have a type ironer, the storage problem also is simplified If you are among the lucky ones who has the automatic ty;e of ironer, learn how to iron some of the other wearables such as shirts and dresses on it. These, of course, can be finished on the regular hand iron, but time will be saved Wide ironing boards, even if thev have to be made by hand and padded at home, will save an amount of time when it comes to ironing such items as shirts and dresses, because they do not have to be moved and shifted constantly v. tfffviw iV V" s $ ' , ' 4 t - i J - , tttn Jt e Vi wwyw I - i,w Vl i ? -K vf- t I j : . r, vn-v 4 i ' I This half whimsical and criticism would have hurt a me once.

Wherever there are bars there are hopeful, longing faces peering through them. These people are citizens of Berlin, not imprisoned but simply watching through the fence around the Allied control council in the German capital as the Allied and Soviet military governors were meeting once more in an effort to ease the dangerous situation In that city. And the anxiety on these faces is the anxiety of the world, possibly excepting the Russians, who seem to be doing all they can to promote more anxiety. v r Leo Genn, of Rosalind Russell in The Velvet Touch, was the first British lawyer to be granted permission by the English bar council to engage in other occupations which might impair the dignity of the profession.

Love doesnt come naturally t children. It has to be cultivated: nothing about a fine home atmos phere is an accident. There must be someone guiding, smoothing, helping. When father and mother are working on this plan, the ideal home results. Children Need Guidance. Americas story is full of the goodness of book loving, family loving. Godfearing fathers, and of mothers who have brought actual genius to the guidance of children; guidance disguised under happy ev eryday living, in the garden, the kitchen, the school, the nursery. Family love and home happiness are not merely pleasanter than quarrels and coldness and separation, they are absolutely essential to the safety of a nation. Men and women who can look back to a childhood are valu able men and women. Nothing that your sacrificing or your wealth or your ingenuity can contrive for your children is worth anything at all, unless behind it is the atmosphere that develops mutual dependence and mutual help. Most of this atmosphere is ere ated by mother. If you happen tc be Mother, it might console you, in these difficult, extravagant days to realize that you can give your chil dren a priceless heritage at nc money cost at all.
