But now, when clothes must dry, at least the drying can be done in style. One good out-ofthe-way drying rack can be attached to the wall above the tub, with bars spread ing out to let the excess water drip into the tub. This can take 'care of a sizeable amount of personal wash and also is handy for baby 'clothes which always are in and out of suds. New style towel racks also add a touch of style to the bath room. The big chrome or plas tic rings which attach to walls are excellent for stockings or small lingerie. One rack is made of wrought iron, with the part attached to the wall shap ed like a musical staff. Outsize "notes" provide hanging space. . 'Sfeno Spred' Is Constant Problem St. Louis U.R) If you want to know secretaries' great est secret worry, it's hovtr to avoid the dreaded "stenograph er spread." - Four hundred young women took the day off for an infor mative workshop that included expert advice on every subject from personality to how to get ahead. . . But the hit of the day was an illustrated lecture by Prof. W. C. Eberhardt, director of phy sical education at St. Louis uni versity, on how to keep the tummy in and the chest out without looking silly. A trim young housewife dem onstrated the posture-improving exercises he described. When the speech was ended he placed pamphlets explaining the exercises on the speaker's table. There was a short pause then tall, short, slim and stout secretaries made a rush for the table. , Try starching men's handker chiefs on the corners only. You will find they stay neater when tucked in a jacket pocket. County Fair Prizes Often Too Prized ' Elkhorn, Wis." (U.R) Some women consider a cooking or other, prize at the county fair so valuable they'll resort to skullduggery for a blue ribbon. Mrs. Priscilla Hargrave, home agent for Walworth county, says sometimes a contestant is so anxious ior honors she will go to all lengths. - Take the case of the canned pears. One woman sent an ex hibit to a county fair that look ed too professional to be true. A check showed the eager house wife . had bought the canned pears at a store and trasf erred them to her own cans for the contest. She probably would have won if the judges hadn't noticed the "boughten" quality of her entry. Many of the cheaters, unforr tunately, do win prizes at fairs. Mrs. ' Hargrave says there are countless cases of .women who have purchased vegetables and other items and entered them as their own. The cheats arnot always detected. : . Other violators pick up prizes with somebody else's handiwork. Mrs. Hargrave recalls one purse that won a prize, It had been given to a girl by a friend, who entered an identical purse of a different color. The girl who made both purses 'didn't win a thing, apparently because the judges didn't go for the color she submitted. KOKO THE CLOWN SAYS . . . Ds Yomimgsfeirs' SaraM YD M IE!

Ebert says her weekly classes on animal ailments have become a big suc cess with the girls. Mrs. Ebert is the wife of the head of Missouri University's School of Veterinary Medicine. As such she was asked a few years ago to show the wives of senior students something about what their husbands are study ing. She obliged by offering a small group some instructions in handing the doctor his instru ments and bookkeeping. The wives showed such an in terest in learning what could go wrong with an animal's health that Mrs. Ebert's night course advanced to laboratory tech niques, such as administering an esthetic to a puppy and surgical procedure. The class is strictly voluntary, with no credits given from the university. But Mrs. Ebert, who was a practicing laboratory tech nician for four years before she married, says attendance is al most 100 per cent.
