World Aggressors Headache to Map Makers With a new Europe, a new Asia and the possibility of a new Africa in the making, map-makers of America as well as the rest of the world are finding it a gigantic task to keep abreast with the constantly changing po litical frontiers. One man—Adolf Hitler—has caused the cartographers untold headaches. They spend months correcting all their charts, changing names, revising colors and ordering new prints. Then in three or four days the maps are worthless except for reference works. Boundaries have again been changed. Globe maps, pictured at the left, are more difficult to correct than flat maps, and present problems altogether different.

Bit of Embroidery By Mary Ann, Nine By RUTH WYETH SPEARS 1V/IARY ANN was named for her ■*-*-* grandmother, who at the age of nine, made an elaborate sam pler of embroidery stitches. Ev eryone thought it would be nice if the modern Mary Ann could also do a bit of hand work to be framed and kept. We here report, thanks to a series of rainy afternoons, this was actually accomplished. Mary Ann’s mother started the project with a rather large piece of blue gingham; a pair of em broidery hoops and some odds and ends of bright six strand mercer ized embroidery thread. Outlines tor flower designs were made by drawing around coins and the flow ers were embroidered as shown here. Stems were done in outline stitch and leaves in groups of straight stitches. From the many attempts on that piece of gingham, two flower groups had almost as much life and charm as the modern Mary Ann, age nine. These were neatly framed and lend a gay note at each side of an old mirror. NOTE: Book 1, Gifts, Novelties and Embroidery, gives full in structions for ninety embroidery stitches with many sketches show ing ways to use them. You and your children may have happy hours with this fascinating hand work. Book 1, SEWING, for the Home Decorator, contains 48 com plete lessons for making slipcov ers, draperies, bedspreads and many other things for the house. Books are 25 cents each. If you order both books, crazypatch leaf let, reviving interest in this old time hand craft, is included FREE. Address, Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Desplaines St., Chicago, 111. Wisdom in Retreat To retire is not to flee, and, there is no wisdom in waiting when danger outweighs hope, and it is the part of wise men to pre serve themselves today for tomor row, and not risk all in one day.— Cervantes. Help Them Cleanse the Blood of Harmful Body Waste Your kidney* are constantly Altering waste matter from the blood stream.

Symptoms may be nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes—a feeling of nervous anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
