Wonderful for wear, especially for bus-iness, are the sheer wools of nav'y with crisp white collars.

WOMAN'S WORLD Bed Covering Choice Reveals Ingenuity By Ertta Haley nr LIKE TO SEW. but I can't 1 crochet," says Mrs. Jones. "That disturbs me because I won't ever be able to have a lovely bed-spread like my neighbor has on her bed." As long as she can sew, no wom-an need feel that she cannot put her imagination to work in creating a lovely cover for her bed. There are so many types possible, that lack of one skill, such as crocheting, need never stand in the way of providing a beautiful piece of dec-orative work. Imagination, rather than skill, Is the answer to this woman's problem, as it is to many another woman's. If you feel you lack that, then just open wide your eyes and start thinking. You'll be surprised at what can be done with a little Investigation. There seems to be no lack of variety in bed coverings, for almost any type of work can be used to something beautiful and ef- - gandie, ginghams, and other in-formal prints. If desired, add a one or two inch ruffle to the top of the spread just below the top. If you have a canopy over a four poster bed, decorate this with a ruffle or flounce of material match-ing the bedspread. Tailored Spreads Offer Great Variety Depending upon how tailored you like the bedroom, you have a great variety which will carry out a more formal theme. If the room is done in one of the formal periods, you might choose an elegantly quilted taffeta, satin or another rich fab-ric for the top of the bed and then add a flounce of the same material for the sides. This quilting may be done at home on your own machine, if you have the sewing machine attach-ment, or it might even be pur-chased already quilted. It may al-so be done by hand if you have a design which you particularly like. Another idea which is practical for semi-tailore- d rooms is a simple spread which falls in box fashion on the bed. To give tailored cor-ners at the base of the bed, the corners are slit and finished. The only design which this uses is a geometric border at the top of the spread extending down to the bottom of the spread. Bolero Topping J V i i ' ' ' - ' IV 1 fective. Some like to use a cro-cheted piece on top of a solid color with a flounce of the solid colored material at the sides. Other beds are covered with quilt-ed work of many varieties and look just as effective in their settings, while others have lace and ruffling predominant in their decor. Some women seem to have a way of picking out a piece of material One of the most popular col-ors of the season, red, is used in a bengaline bolero to top this navy blue and white print dress In a cupId and heart print. This JiJiior fashion from New York has an inset cum-merbund waist and short sleeves. there are several ways to use it best. On three sides, those falling on either side of the bed as well as at the base, more material can be added to make the quilt large enough to fall gracefully. Select a color that is predominant in the quilt and work it In. A simpler way of making a quilt look larger is to make a flounce of a color selected as above to cov-er the three sides of the bed. If the flounce is attached to a muslin that covers the bed, either above or di-rectly underneath the mattress Vary bedroom decor ... which seems ordinary in every re-spect, and then draping it to make an exceed ngly effective cover that sets off the bed just right. Study the room, first, and decide what would be suitable. If your ways are simple and casual, then this is the key to the bedspread. If your personality has a Dair for the dramatic or tailored room, then your answer would come from something in a solid color or print with texture interest. Casual Types of Spreads Are Easy to Sew If your bedroom is furnished In one at the informal styles such as earl. American or Colonial, the problem of making a spread for a bed is very easy since these types require little skill. Measurements should be accurate so that the spread will be sufficiently large to be luxurious appearing. Quilts are very common, and the patterns in many of these are lovely. You may have one already and are wondering just how it can be used as a most effective setting. If large enough, use it alone as a covering. If the quilt is not large enough, with your own bedspreads. (so it will not have to be removed when the bed is unmade every time), the bed will have an attrac-tive appearance.

CALIF. Boneless turkey roasts that may be sliced just like the real article are bring-ing, more and more customers to the turkey ranch of Dr. Sherman Dickinson near here. Dr. Dickinson calls his product "turkirolls" and it is for those peo-ple who like to eat turkey oftener than just at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The "turkirolls" vary In size from three to 12 pounds, and they're all meat. They leave no trail of left-overs, unless you want them. They taste just like the turkeys you eat during the holidays. Dr. Dickinson is a former teacher of agriculture at the University of Missouri who put his ideas to work. He retired in 1946 to head a two-ye-agricultural mission to Brazil. When he got back to this country in 1948 he considered the America turkey. Wanted Wider Market "Here was a large bird which al-most everyone likes to eat. But it's too big for most families unless there's quite a celebration and lots of company. The turkey is also a headache for the grower, who sells most of his output in two months nnH rirotlallw nnn Tia rpst nt the year," reasoned Dr. Dickinson. "There ought to be some way to make turkey available to the con-sumer the year round and create a broader, more reliable market." Dr. Dickinson thought it could be done with the help of rapid ship-ment and quick freezing. This eventually led him to a 500-ac-turkey farm in the Upper Val-ley of the Moon, eight miles south-east of here. He moved here with his two sons, Sherman Jr., 31, and Larry, 28. Both are graduate engi-neers. Together, they have raised and sold nearly 10,000 turkeys. Most were dressed and sold as ordinary turkeys for the traditional American holiday feed. Dr. Dickin-son has no quarrel with) that. "There'll always be people who will want the fun and ceremony of the stuffing, the carving at the table even the hash and other left-overs," he says. His cold room is well stocked with dressed turkeys, hanging in neat plastic bags. Cost More, Bat No Waste But the cold room also has a stock of "turkirolls," prepared in white meat, dark, or both, in vary-ing sizes to fit different family needs. He sells them either fresh or frozen, at about twice the price per pound of ordinary dressed turkey. You pay more, but there is no waste. Dr. Dickinson Is beginning to distribute them through local butchers and frozen-foo- d dealers. "There's nothing new about the idea," he says. "Rolled roasts of boned fowl have been around for a long time but not often in the fami-ly kitchen." KATHLEEN NORMS . - Mother Torn Between Mate, Kids "ivyrlNE IS A SAD problem," writes a woman from a city in north-wester- n New York state. "My husband is coming home in June after almost three years In prison. I have never felt that he was to blame for anything he did; the man he trusted was to blame for the ruin of all of us. But David was. the one who paid. "When this terrible blow fell I rented my home and came with my girls to live with my mother. They were then 11 and 15, old enough to be consulted, and we decided to stay right in our own home town, and face the music. Our friends stood by magnificently, and while I went to see David reg-ularly, he didn't wish the girls ever to go to the prison, and they never did. Girls Dread His Coming "David is a sensitive, scholarly man, and he dreads coming home. On the other hand, the girls dread his coming. Miriam, the older, has many social engagements and a good job. Sharon is at the age when any criticism from her friends is Insufferable. They try to be loyal, but I can see the nervous tension beginning. "David would like to accept an offer he has had from a California firm, 3,000 miles away. He makes given to a wife, the chance to help, if not actually save, a human soul in desperate need. To have you beside him, especial-ly as he will know that you are sacrificing the comfortable home you have made for yourself, and leaving the three persons you love best, will do more for his pride than any other possible cure could work. Traveling again with him, house hunting again with him, setting up your own kitchen again, will renew the old feeling of con-fidence and courage in starting afresh. It may not always be easy for you. For even though you say he is gentle and understanding, he will have many difficult moments. You will feel that in beginning new friendships your whole story must be told, you musn't for one moment sail under false colors. It will be much simpler in the end if you have everything understood from the first. But I believe you will achieve a success that will make all your years ahead serene and proud. When you go back to your old town for a visit, you will find no difficulties, and the girls will only be friendly and natural with the father who has won his way back to restoration without complicating their young affairs. One word of further advice. When you make your decision, and I hope it will be in David's favor, stick to it. "... went to see David . . ." no demands. He takes it for granted that he shall go to this city and start over, so heavily handicapped, alone. I know what my accompanying him would mean to him; it might well make the difference between his failing or his succeeding, but I am house-keeper here, confident of both daughters and Mother, and I feel I owe Mother much, for her com-panionship of us when we so needed it. "At the time of our tragedy she once pressed me to divorce David, and even to make another mar-riage, but she has never worried me since with that suggestion. We four, despite the bitter circum-stances, have formed a happy and harmonious household here; my going would place new burdens on the others. And David would be generous and understanding. So the decision is entirely in my hands. He Might Be Lonely "What shall I do? David is 41; I am 37. His work is so highly specialized, and he has been so successful in it, that I have no fears for his future in that line, but the loneliness of a boarding house or hotel room might easily reduce him to a condition of de-spair. "On the other hand, there are Mother and the girls. They are just reaching such fascinating years, needing frocks and advice, a moth-er's sympathy and help. And there is Mother, whose only child I am. At 60 she cannot give the girls the same superintendence that I could, although they really love her. What shall I do? June will bring David home. By that time I must be defi-nite about our future." In answer to Roxanne Wilson I say, go with your man.

THE READER'S COURTROOM , Rolling Car Gathers Damages ' By Will Bernard, LL.B Is It Your Fault If Your Parked Car Rolls Down a Hill? A woman drove to a beauty par-lor and parked her car in front of the shop. As it happened, the street had a sharp slope. The woman had no sooner stepped inside the shop than her car began to roll It ca- - A woman paid a high price for an Oriental rug, after the dealer as-sured her that it was a valuable antique. It wasn't long before the woman realized that the rug was neither antique nor valuable in other words, that she had been "stung." Nevertheless, she con-tinued to use the rug for two years. At last she decided to take legal action against the dealer, and she filed suit to get her money back. But the court ruled that she was too late. The judge said that, by waiting she couldn't complain. May One State "Dump" Its Criminals into Other States? A man was tried and convicted on a charge of violating the state liquor laws. The judge imposed a $500 fine and "exiled" him from the state for five years. Promptly the man appealed the case to the supreme court, claiming that the reened over the curb and finally came to rest halfway through a cafe window! When the cafe owner sued for damages, the woman sol-emnly swore that she had set the brakes tightly and left the car in gear. But the court held her re-sponsible anyhow. The judge com-mented drily that the car's actions spoke ' louder than the woman's words I A druggist received a shipment of perfume, but refused to pay for the merchandise. When the dealer sued for his money, the druggist insisted that the perfume was de-livered in unsalable condition. The dealer thereupon told of a tele-phone conversation in which the druggist bad said that "everything came in OK." The latter objected to this testimony, saying that tele-phone conversations are "too unre-liable- " as legal evidence. However, the court disagreed and accepted the dealer's story. banishment order was unconstitu-tional. And the Supreme Court agreed. The judges said it would be poor policy "to let one state dump its criminals tnto other states." Such a practice, added the court, "might well provoke retaliation by states that are on the receiving end!" Relax, Folks! Old Styles 0f'20's Not Coming Back LEXINGTON, KY. The ladies and gentlemen, too, for that matter may breathe easier, for the wom-en are not going back to those ugly fashions of the 1920's. There is the word of a beauty ex-pert on that Miss Mary Sturdevant, beauty ad-viser for a widely-know- n cosmetics firm, is the authority for the assur-ance. She says: "If you believe all the fashion ex-perts, you are probably braced for another revolution in style for the coming spring season. 'Back to the '20's', they cry and Immediately we get mental pictures of the shapeless and, for the most part, very unflattering styles that some of us must remember from that era. And the memory causes many a shudder of apprehension. "Actually, we are not going back to those ugly fashions so relax. Personally, I feel that what we are calling 1920 style is really a re-newal of interest in a general long-ter-trend toward clothes for mod-ern life rather than a turning back of the fashion clock." Customs Court Endless Quiz Sums Involved Greater Than Radio Give-Awa- ys NEW YORK.-- On the 11th floor of an office building in downtown New York, Uncle Sam sponsors an endless quiz program involving sums greater than even radio's open handed quizmasters give out. There you will find judicial an-swers to such brainbusters as: Is rhubarb a vegetable or a fruit? When does an infant become a child? Is whale meat fish, or is it meat? Is a slide fastener a ma-chine? What is a doll? When is a rug not a rug? These questions are not trivial. They and other similar ones ac-tually have been presented to the nine judges of the United States customs court. This unique court handles cases dealing with commercial imports from all countries in the world. In some instances the questions have involved millions of dollars in tar-iff duties and have set important precedents on how the twisting, confused United States tariff laws should be applied. When it was decided that an in-fant becomes a child at 2 years, the entire clothing industry was affect-ed, as well as the price parents pay for their offspring's clothing. Congress had provided for one rate of duty on children's clothing and a different rate on infant's wear. The court is called up on to de-cide what was in the minds of the congressmen who write the nation's tariff laws. Often its tasks are rou-tine and technical. But just as often it runs across a real r. "Almost every case is a challenge" says the court's chief judge, Webster J. Oliver. Take the case of the slide fasten-ers, decided early last year. The importer called them machines. Government agents called them ar-ticles made of metal. The importer put a college professor of mechan-ical engineering on the stand to testify that the slides were like children's tricycles Baby Buggies Held to Cause Children to Be Knock-Knee- d NEW YORK. - Baby buggies causing babies to be knock-kneed- ? Preposterous! That's what Dr. James Bush, pro- fessor of pediatrics at the college of physicians and surgeons, Columbia university thinks about such a the-ory. But Dr. John Gibbens of London holds so strongly to the fact of the belief that he is calling British mothers to task and denouncing baby buggies as "prisons for ba-bies." Looking at the British doctor's ideas quickly, it seems he'd blame baby buggies for everything from knock-knee- s up and down the medi- cal 01 list. Most American pediatri-cians, however, decline to discuss the theory, and those who do tend to become ribald about it. Dr. Gibbens contends that bug-gies cause breakdowns in the ba-by's digestive system. Children he believes, should be set on their own feet and permitted to exercise in ac- cordance with normal instincts of tocomotion. |
