Conservation Suggestions Listed For Saving Worn Bed Sheets In these war days when conservation of household equipment is important to homemakers, sheets, like other household textiles that are wearing thin, should have careful treatment To get the greatest amount of use from your sheets, the New York State College Home of Economics suggests the following treatment: Hold the sheet up to the light to see thin spots. Before the sheet actually beging, to break, tear it down the center, sew the outer selvaged eges together, and hem the sides. The portions along the selvages are stronger because they receive the least wear. Before sewing the selvages together, rip back the top and bottom two or three inches from the selvage. Then overlap the selvages and sew them in a flat seaiR. Resew the top and bottom hems. The side edges of the sheets are hemmed to prevent fraying." " To insure longer wear for sheets, it is a good Idea to sometimes place the narrow hem of the under sheet at the head of the bed as sheets wear out most quickly just below the pillow where the sleeper's shoulders rest .. , against them.. Laundering methods may also lengthen the lifetime of sheets. To hang a sheet on the -- washline, put a third or a half of the sheets over the line, as sheets pinned at corners and edges are likely to tear. Do not use many folds when sheets are ironed: and occasionally fold in different places; repeated creases in the same place may cause the material ,to crack. vEhf 1 .

Of a boy whom the slow-movin- g n doctor pronounced a perfect of health a mother wrote a letter telling me of his slowness. When he started in kindergarten the teacher told me he was slower, than any of the other children In finishing his work and that she could not wait for him. I told her it took him more than half on hour to get his clothes on In the morning and every other task he does in the same proportion. She kept after him so much that to thls day he detests coloring unless he can do it here at home. Taking all afternoon for it, he does what he calls a smooth job.
