Hair Tonic
One effective method of apply
ing hair tonic of warm oil to the
scalp is by use of a medicine
dropper. In this way it can be ap
plied directly to the roots without
mussing the hair or getting it
oily.
Rugs
Try to remember when pur
chasing new rugs that are to be
subjected to a good bit of sun
light, that browns, dark blues, and
greens, will fade more readily
than lighter shades.
Small Plants
It is well to watch carefully the
soil around small plants. Many
of these plants are lost because
the surface of tne soil is allowed
to become hard and crusted and
the little seedlings do not possess
sufficient strength to force their
i way through.
Patent Leather Shoes
■Patent leather shoes can be pre
vented from cracking if a small
amount of petroleum ointment is
rubbed over them regularly. This
also gives them a good polish.

Women Eligible For
Federal Juries
Starting May 11, women may
serve as jurors in the Lincoln
Division Federal Court.
Though Nebraska has eight di
visions, only four are equipped
with facilities for women. The
four divisions to use women
jurors are: Omaha, Norfolk, Has
tings, and Lincoln. Those for men
due to lack of facilities are:
Chadron, McCook, North Platte
and Grand Island.
It is not necessary for women
to give reasons for refusing to
serve as jurors, but men must give
valid and acceptable reasons. %
Clerk Carl H. Worley says, that
experience in the three other di
visions indicate that women do
not asked to. be excused, more
often than men.
Facilities for women jurors in
the Post Office building were
completed too late for the October
term.
proved by adding a sprig of mint
to the water.
Hard Sauce
A hard sauce can be made by
creaming a third of a cupful of
confectioners sugar. Add a half
teaspoonful of vanilla, and if de
sired a few drops of sherry flavor
ing.
Stockings

ings, always weave 4he thread
around the hole before beginning
to darn and it will strengthen the
whole mend.

away into the refrigerator covered
only lightly with waxed paper or
some similar covering. Other foods

Contributions to the 1953 March
of Dimes in Nebarska will reach
and probably exceed $700,000 for
a new all-time record, as against
a previous high of $546,521 in
1952, it was announced today by
Ted R. Hughes, of Seward, State
March of Dimes Chairman. Mr.
Hughes based his prediction on
preliminary unaudited reports
reaching him from the various
counties of the state.
Half of this total will remain
with Nebraska county chapters to
aid local polio * patients, Mr.
Hughes remarked. The other half
will go to continue polio research,
training of professional personnel,
and for emergency epidemic aid
in major epidemic areas.
Mr. Hughes stated that Ne
braska county chapters spent over
$677,000 in aiding local polio
patients in 1952 and had to have
heavy advances from National
Headquarters to meet the needs.
“Every person in Nebraska who
in any way helped to make the
1953 March of Dimes campaign a
success should feel very proud
indeed,” Mr. Hughes commented.
“From school kids with their
pennies, nickles and dimes to the
highest contributors, we say,
‘Thanks for your generous help!’
To those thousands of volunteers
who helped in this campaign, my
sincere thanks!
“While Nebraska was hit the
hardest with polio in 1952, we
have struck back with our dimes
and dollars, demonstrating our
determination to stay in the fight
against this crippler until the
battle is won. The rest of the na
tion will certainly take note of
Nebraska’s determination. Our
citizens have every reason to en
joy that feeling that comes with
a job well done.”
