HOUSEHOLD HINTS
By Mary Ann Knowit
Now' that Easter has pas
sed and vve are quite familiar
with all o. the Spring fashions
our thoughts are now turn
ing to the Summer ones. This
week, I want to concentrate
on the summer’s footwear for
it’s very interesting this year
and for t ose of .us that go
hare legg u. t will he extrem
ely excn..«ig. Far the past two
years we nave not.ced each
They seem.d odd a. li st, but
now the &i. s have found that
they are ju i n.e things to be
won, '..eiuath their long sum
men skirts. V\ e must remem
ber, however, that to get that
attractive ,ook in these’sand
al, we mast first remove the
ha r from our legs and apply
the correct sayle of leg make
up. .Another thing we mustn t
foigec is that our toe-nails
aiUji he caied for as well as
our tin emails, and if we use
mi; pel : h it should be a shade
toac men s wth your costume.
The. w n be in the shoe shop
i nbeauu.ta .go.d and silver
k u, black suetie, and also in
floral p infs, i will intorm
you now that in the finest sh
oe shops the e adorable sand
als wdl co t you from seven
to fifteen dollars a pair, so I
suggest that you make them
at home. This sandal of which
I wri.e has nairow criss-cros
sed straps that begin at the
toe and wind very uniquely
.up to the ankle. You may
make strapes to go with every
dress or skirt you have. Your
shoemaker will put leather
so.es on the bottom if you
desire. I have the pattern to
i.iese sandais and for complete
instructions, wri'e to the Ho
me Sewing Bu.eau, 400 Man
hat.an Avenue. New \ork.
N. Y., Suite 4.
Ladies, he c is something
that most of us are quilty of
and I think that it is high time
that that we put a stop to it.
We not only spol our own'ap
pearances, hut we create un
favorable impressions to the
people who visit our homes.
How many times have you
come in from church, a party,
or club meeting and immed
iately change into an old dress
that you don’t mind soiling
whi e preparing the family’s
meal? And how many of us tie
our heads up in an old piece
of cloth and put on the most
tattered- dress in our closet
when we are doing our gener
al house-cleaning? 1 hen, on
how many occasions have we
had to apologize for our ap
pearances when an unexpect
ed guest, a relative or the in
surance collector dropped in?
They will naturally accept
your apOflogy, but they do not
forget it. Now, I( say that the
common belief that the only
way we can save our nicest
clothes is by changing them
as soon as we get home is ab
solutely an unjustifiable one.
I suggest that you have aprons
for al] occasions. And that you
not dash and buy them, but
make them yourself right at
home. For heavy cleaning
jumpers made of creton with
all-over cap for the hair will
-not only improve your appear
ance while doing heavy-clean
ing. but will last longer than
one of your old dresses. Take
youy old dresses and make ap
rons to slip over your nicer
dresses, u an unexpected per
son calls you merely slip off
the apron, take a last minute
look at your hair and when
you open the door you are ut
terly charming. We, as women
always want to look nice, but
we sometimes find * it hard
•while doing household tasks.
If you will put my suggestion
into practice, I guarantee you
that you wifi need no apologies
and will make a favorable im
pression when visitors call. If
you need help on how to make
all kinds of aprons, write to
the Home Sewing Bureau. 400
Manhattan Ave., New York
26, New York, Suite 4, and
you will receive a very help
ful booklet on how to make
aprons for all occasions.

A Beer License
is Good for
Only One Year
A license to sell beer in Nebras
ka is extended to applicants as
a limited privilege—not as a
property right.
After one year, your elected
licensing officials may refuse to
grant a renewal of the license i
if there is cause.
The purpose of this one-year
limitation is to provide power
ful incentive for the beer re
tailer to operate a clean, sani
tary' tavern ... in such a tem
perate law-abiding manner
that all the community' will
approve.
It is the first purpose of the Ne
braska Committee to educate
and encourage licensees to be
fully worthy of their privilege.
You are urged to assist by re
porting any violations that have
been made, any conditions that
should be corrected.
Make your complaint to the
local governing body and the
liquor control commission. Do
this important civic duty now.

CONVOY VOYAGE
ATLANTIC COAST—PIXPAGE—
A sudden blast sank a collier that
was under U. S. Navy escort in a
convoy on the Atlantic coast. The
blast was ascribed to an enemy
mine. Here a survivor dries his
face with a towel after being near
blinded and choked by the oily
waters. A quick and efficient job
was done by the Navy in rescuing
survivors. It so happened that the
Navy Department had permitted a
photographer and several corre
spondents aboard, none of whom
bargained for the ensuing incident
on such short order.
