In horse-and-buggy days, if you wanted to hitch Nellie up to a buggy whose wheels were about to drop off, it was nobody’s business but your own. If the wheels dropped off, no body got hurt but you, or the peo ple with you. It’s different today when you sit down at the wheel of a couple of tons of automobile and start hurling them through the streets at 50 miles an hour among hundreds of others. There is an obligation that your au to be safe—for the sake of others, if you don’t care about yourself. Washington, D. C., started inspect ing motor vehicles in 1989. Of more than a quarter of a million inspected, 57 percent were found to be unsafe. And of these, 3,600 were removed from the streets entirely as com pletely unsafe. Twenty-seven thous and repairs or replacements have been ordered in the past year. And your own car? Cotton-Textile Institute and Nation al Cotton Council. All these power ful forces will be conditioning the consumer mind and consumer purse in favor of cotton. tt t t CAREFUL HANDLING OF EGGS By taking good care of eggs on the farm, poultrymen will be mak ing a valuable contribution to the food-for-defense program. Carelessness in handling eggs for market lost 5 percent of the Unit ed States egg production in 1939. This loss represented 175 million dozen eggs with a cash value of near ly 30.5 million dollars. Careful handling means more eggs for food supplies of this country and other democracies, and additional income for poultry producers. The steps in producing quality eggs on the farm are simple and can be followed on every farm without additional expenses. The steps in clude: 1. Providing the flock with the proper quality feed for good eggs. 2. Keeping a deep, clean litter on the poultry house floor, and con fining the birds in the house until noon if needed. 3. Providing plenty of clean nests, at least one to every five hens. 4. Producing infertile eggs for the market. This will require re moving the male birds from the flock as soon as the hatching season is over. 5 Gathering eggs frequently, to reduce the number of diity eggs. 6. Cooling eggs as soon as they are gathered, to as near 50 degrees as possible to prevent spoilage. J Never place warm eggs in the case. THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON. GEORGIA HOME DEMONSTRATION ITEMS (Elsie Bowman) Mark* of Quality In a Cotton Dro* It’s along about now that fore sighted women are getting summer wardrobes in shape. Sewing ma chines are humming—there’s a wait ing line at pattern counters. This summer probably will see mnre cotton dresses being worn than ever before. For cotton, always a popular summer fabric, has been even more in demand in the past few years. Cotton materials are coming out in a greater variety of colors and patterns. And special finishes are applied nowadays to change and improve the natural quality of many cottons. As for the supply of cotton avail able—there’s plenty of it for any and all uses. Right now, there’s a full year’s supply in the storehou ses. Through the Cotton Stamp Plan started last year and the cotton mattress program, low-income fami lies in both cities and on farms have been able to consume more and' more cotton. A supplementary pro gram, now underway, is putting stamps into the hands of the cotton | farmers themselves in return for ad ditional cotton acreage adjustment. But whether a woman is buying cotton with stamps or with cash she wants to get the very best she can afford. The main thing to remember is that your cotton dress is going to be washed time and time again. You want it to make that trip through the tub and off the ironing board each time none the worse for the wear, you want it to be easy to take care of, be comfortable, and becom ing. Look for facts about shrinkage. Many a fashionable, wellfitting dress has changed to a wardrobe problem child simply because it shrank after the first washing. A ’redidual shrink age of not more than 1 or 2 per cent’ gives you assurance that the dress will not shrink enough to alter its fit. Shrinkage facts will be'mark ed on the bolt end of a piece of yard goods. If you buy yard goods not marked defintely as to how much it will shrink, wash it first before mak ing it up. If you should get a ready made dress look for definite shrinkage facts on printed tags. If they haven’t, you can be pretty sure they will shrink somewhat. Buying a size larger to take care of expected shrinkage or buying dresses with seams that can be let out in case the dress shrinks is not good policy. For even after alterations, the fit will not be the same—-not to mention how time-consuming and expensive are the alterations. Colors that run the gamut of the rainbow are dyed into cottons of all kinds. Make sure this color is tubfast and sunfast. Look for this information on the end of the bolt from which you buy yard goods. Verbal statements are no protection. Look on tags, too, to find facts about crease-resistance. These crease resistant finishes lessen wrinkling, help the garments keep their shape and stay clean longer. If you are paying extra for such a finish, make sure the material has been subjected to a special process that makes it permanently crease-resistant.” Tags and labels • help you check the “hidden qualities” of cotton— but learn to judge other qualities of the cotton yourself by looks and feel. Any cotton weal's better if made from smooth yarns that wll not fuzz. It should ibe firm both ways of the material, so a dress made from it won't stretch out of shape. Hold material up to the light to see the actual weave. And rub it to see if there is sizing or other surface finish that may wash uot. The way a dress is made can also make a big difference in its success. Some of the marks of a well-made dress are—that there are no more seams in the dress than necessary for its proper fit and style. Seams are firm, but never bulky. They are finished according to the type of the material. Heavier, firme r cottons needn’t be reinforced so carefully as thin voiles or organdies. Asa rule, there are about 15 stitches to an inch in the seams. Stitching looks the same on both sides, and the thread is well-matched. Hems are generous. They are easier to press if the first fold is stitched by machine, then the hem blind-stitched to the dress. All fac ings fit and are sewed flat. Plackets are ample in length. Dress cuffs are sewed on separately after the sleeve seam is finished. Style of the dress is adapted to the material. Heavier cottons are usually best made up in simple, tail ored styles with a few if any frills. Decoration is kept to a minimum.

They are planting an acre of corn that will be given to the church this fall. This practical method of supplying needed cash to the church budget has been in use by the group for about ten years. Each year the young people meet with their elders and plant the section of ground they call “The Lord’s Acre.” Throughout the summer the group meets and works the crop and then turns over all the proceeds in the fall. Just how successful the Lord’s Acre was last year can be judged from the fact that with one of the worst crop seasons in many years, the group made S4O from an acre— enough to buy hymn books and help with the minister’s salary. Forty dollars piay sound very small com pared to the budgets of urban churches, but in most small country churches it is a welcomed addition. Since part of the land is planted in soil conserving crops, the church received approximately sl3 in bene fit payments last year. Some years the Lord’s Acre has made as much as SIOO for the church. The income is never fixed since different crops are planted in different years and since the yield often depends on the weathr. Soft voiles and organdies may have more fussy details, such as gathers and shirring. Trim is as washable as the dress itself—and as easy to iron. Nothing is put on that has to be taken off for washing. Button holes, if they are the worked variety, are firm, worked of colorfast thread, with close even stitches deep enough to keep them from pulling out of the fabric. Bound button holes require painstaking trouble to make and can not be afforded on the lower grade dresses. They are not likely to be durable except in high-quality merchandise. And finally, look for the little touches, inconspicuous reinforce ments where strain comes, at pocket corners and buttons are sewed on. Such touches mean better ser vice. If you buy a dress without them, it is a good plan to go over it before you wear it and put in these reinforcements where they are need ed. tray and freeze. Crushed berries, apple sauce, prune or other fruit pulp may be used in place of apricot. tt t t FROZEN FRUIT SALAD 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatine. 1-4 cup cold water. 1 number 1 can (2 cups) fruit cocktail. 1-2 cup mayonnaise. 1 cup heavy cream. 1 3-oz. bottle red cherries.

MAJORITY OF 500,000 INDUCTED TRAINEES’ AGE RANGE 21 TO 25 Washington.—A majority of the 500,000 selective service trainees in ducted into the army to date have been 21 through 25 years old and only about 11 per cent have been 31 or older. This division of ages was disclosed Saturday by the issuance of an age group study at selective service headquarters here. The figures were considered significant at this time when officials have been considering the advisability of lowering the top draft age from 35 to 30 or even low er. The Selective Service Act permits the army to induct only trainees who meet its standards of accepta bility. Selective service officials say that if only those 30 or younger were marked “acceptable” the rest would be automatically deferred from service as “unacceptable” al though they would remain subject to call at any time the regulations were changed. Any draft registrant who is not now in class 1-A, or is sot a student deferred until the end of the pres ent college year, will not likely be called during the first official year of selective service, ending July 1, state officials gave as their opinion. Georgia now has 7,593 young men in the Army through selective ser vice, 4,473 in class 1-A, and 700 de ferred students who probably will be put into the Army next month. Induction of these will bring the number of Georgians in the Army to 12,766, almost the exact quota al lowed the state for the first year of the draft. Sufficient calls have not yet been received to take care of all those now in 1-A. Eleven quotas have been assigned the state, asking for 10,355 men, and a twelfth call for 600 to be inducted in June has been promised. Although no revision of the draft law will be necessary to continue taking men after July 1, authorities believe that relatively few men will be inducted before October, when other selectees begin completing their year’s service for Uncle Sam. The Fulton county grand jury has begun a series of public hearings on alleged irregularities involved in the purchase by the state highway department of $2,689,744 worth of road machinery during the last fiscal year of the Rivers administra tion.
