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.—

Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidney* are constantly Altering
waste matter from the blood stream. But
• kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
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.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis
order may be burning, scanty or too
frequent urination.
There should be no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan's Pills. Doan's have been winning
