The desire to be in fashion is evident in the attitudes of tod dlers through subteens. Parallel ing the adult fashion world is this fall's big change in silhou ette to the dropped waistline, long torso interpretations for new elongated body lines. This marks the first major change in silhouette in many seasons. Colors follow in this same trend from basic greys and beiges to high fashion colors of cherry red, crosewood, avocado, cobalt blue and the charred tones, with char coal brown very important In coats for both girls and sub- teens the influance of the A-line, with back belt treatment, is evi dent. Casual coats often have side or back belts, with slight fulness falling at back and side. Drop ped shoulder lines leading into yokes are marked with stitching or seaming detail. The long torso look is often achieved in fitted princess Ityles through low hip line interest, created by pockets or seams. Wool fleece, plush, suede, and flannels predominate in the coat scene in glorious colors or basic tones. Suits fos big and little sister are pretty and practical in San for lan wool flannel, in bright and dark colors, with touches of white rib knit. Detachable sus penders skirts with all-around box pleated skirts are topped with easy-fit box jackets having 3-button closing and hem-line pockets to accentuate the long line look. Separates are the mainstay of school wardrobes. They are doubly practical when the wash able wool flannel or tweed skirts slim or full can be combined with changes of sweaters or blouses. Knitwear another backbone of school wardrobes and fashion news for ' Fall shows up in the bulky-look sweaters to be worn as toppers for wintry days. Important to the knitwear look are three-piece costumes in wool knit that are handled like woven fabric. Sev eral styles feature the long torso overblouse with pleated skirts and cardigan jackets. These are in bright combinations of solid colors with stripes. Style conscious subteens, who know what they want fashion- wise, like slim separates, such as wool tweed skirts to be worn with sweaters and blouses; and the perennial school favorite, the jumper. The jumper, in wool flannels and tweeds, can be worn alone for more dressy occasions designers have widened the shoulders to form small cap sleeves. For other occasions the jumper is equally smart with changes of blouses or sweaters Professor Plans 'Old Maid' Study - Washington (U.R) Old maids have been singled out for some singular research. v The American Association of University Women awarded their Founders fellowship to Dr. Gwendolyn B. Needham, Asso ciate professor of English, at the University of California, it was announced here. Her project is to complete a book "The Type Figure of the Old Maid in Anglo-American Life and Fiction." . Dr. Needham will analyze the histsry of the old maid from her appearance in 17th century literature to the present. She will show the effect that social and literary stereotyping exerts on individual and group thought. Dr. Needham said the old maid "is becoming extinct in life, but still flourishes in literature." And she intends to find out why. Hornbrook o HOME BUSK FURNISHINGS TELLS A STORY f THAT NEEDS TELLING Better Business Bureaus throughout the country are seek ing the cooperation of retailers in combating "lure" and "bait" advertising. This kind of advertising preys upon the unwary by inflating the real prices of unidentifiable . goods, then offering mark-downs and discounts. Unfortunately, many otherwise reliable stores. believing it necessary to fight fire with fire, have chosen the same path. Equally unfortunate is the bold fact that in buying carpets it is very difficult to check qualities and patterns so that a fair comparison can be ; made. THIS IS NOT SO WITH LEES CARPETS It is not so because JAMES LEES & SONS CO. has taken steps to protect customers buy ing their carpets. The remedy was simple. First they carefully selected their dealers. Then they purchased stamping machines to nark the various quality names oa every carpet of first quality sold. Then they issued a sug gested price list to the retailer. Prices that were realistic neith er too high nor too low. Under this policy they believe it is possible for you to buy Lees carpets with confidence. aHThen you receive your new Lees carpet you will find the quality name of the grade you purchased stamped all over the tiack of your entire rug.

The director explained that it is more than coincidence that nearly a third of his 120-mem-ber Pitt varsity band are en gineering students. "In .music the individual must produce the exact sound and tempo desired, just as an en gineer must be exact in his en gineering ' problems and draw ing," Arthur said. "There is no room for error in either field." Arthur said the pains an en gineer gives to his mathematical computations are reflected in his other activities. The engineer is willing to put in long, tedious hours of practice to help make him a musician. The same urge for precision and abilit3 to concentrate help make an engineer excellent ma terial for a marching band, Ar thur said.

Children Suffer Most From Divorce Divorce brings problems to all involved even to friends and acquaintances of the couple. But the ones who suffer most are the children. Their secure little world suddenly dis appears. They may find them selves uproot ed and taken Dr. Hurlock to a new place to live, or they may remain in the familiar home which is no longer as it was before. There are few divorces that do not give rise to serious fi nancial problems, and it is the children who often come out at the little end of the horn. They must give up many of the things they have been accustomed to, because a divided income is not enough to enable any member of the family to live as well as when the family lived together. Many times the mother must take a job to supplement what she receives from her divorced husband. Or she may receive nothing from him and have to bear the whole burden of sup porting herself and her children. May Be Placed in Nursery wniie tney are young, xne cnii dren may be taken care of by a relative - or friend "while the mother works, or they may be placed in a day nursery. When they are old enough that con stant supervision seems unneces sary to the mother who must make every penny count, they are left to get along alone as1 best they can. Often this means carrying many' home burdens, such as cooking their own meals, which children of their ages normally do not have to should er. Perhaps the greatest hardship for the child of the divorced parents is the' sudden appear ance of a new father or a new mother. Few children can ac cept the stepparent in place of their real parent, "and the situa tion is complicated when the court has granted the real par ent a chance to see the children fit stated times. This enables the child to compare his own parent with the stepparent, and it is usually to the disadvantage of the latter. . ' -LETTERS FROM READERS (Q) Parents as pals: "Do chil dren have the same respect for parents who are pals and come down to their children's level as for parents who are more aloof?" (A) A child may have a differ ent type of respect for parents who hold themselves aloof and play the role of "heads of the family," but they do not have the same affection and the same feeling of closeness. Being a pal to a child means coming down to his level enough that he can see parental flaws. However, DR. ROBERT E. LEE Optometrist Has Moved To a DOWN TOVyN LOCATION 309 East 8th Street Between Bartlett and Riverside DIAL 3-5923 his respect will not be lessened even when he sees these flaws, provided that he has a deep af fection for the parent. (Q) Radio Serials: "I simply cannot understand what women see in the daytime serials com monly called 'soap operas They aren't even good writing in most cases." (A) If you listen attentively to what you so scornfully call the "soap operas," I think you will understand what their appeal is. In most cases they relate . to everyday happenings of every day people that could be the listeners themselves. And they always stop in an exciting part of the story, which acts as an incentive to the listener to tune in the next day to see what will happen next. (Q) Always Right: "My mother is in her seventies and is get ting very difficult. She is al ways right, or at least she thinks she is. The more I argue with her, the more certain she is that she is right. What can one do in such a case?" ' (A) You should have learned by now not to argue with your mother when it is -evident that it will do not good. If she wants to think that she is right, don't argue. The only time, when there is any possible reason for you to argue is when your mother wants to do something that will obviously be harmful to her physically. Otherwise, if it makes - her happier to call black white, humor her. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.)

' , The breakfast, given by chair men of the local chapter of Wo men of the Moose, was kept a secret from other members until they were called for on Sunday morning. A small charge was made for breakfast 'and fines imposed on those not attending and on those who tried to improve their ap pearance. . f Orange Juice Said To Give Energy University Park, Pa. (U.R) Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have come up with some information which may or may not cause consterna tion in the board rooms of soft drink firms. For those in need of that late- afternoon rjickun, the advice from Penn State is: "Reach for the orange juice." A study conducted by Drs. Pauline Beery Mack and Maloise Sturdevant Dixon revealed that a swig of orange juice is one of the best ways to increase energy and avoid fatigue. Furthermore, added the citrus favoring doctors, orange- juice ac complishes this revitalization without the aid of laboratory de veloped miracle ingredients just plain old sugar and vitamin C. Drs. Mack and Dixon based their conclusions on endurance tests in which 149 children and 25 adults participated. The re searchers found that after an in take of 10 ounces of frozen or ange juice, the subjects' could do more push-ups and sit-ups and were less tired after racing up and down steps.. Further, some mental stimu lus was indicated because the volunteers turned in better jobs on writing examinations. However, anyone hoping to turn a flaccid handclasp into a grip like Atlas had best forget about it. They found "no signifi cant difference" in hand strength even after a healthy slug or two of juice. 4 Daily Employee Paper Celebrates 1st Year Kansas City, Mo. (U.R) The Noon News is a year old. It may be the only daily em ployee newspaper in the coun try. Hallmark Cards circulates the Noon News to 2,000 employees daily and sends it to another 1,500 co-workers scattered in various other installations about the country. The 8V6 x 11-inch newspaper has been a client of the -United Press since it began publication. , . Company spokesmen said they felt their employees needed more than the company maga zine ' bulletin board announce ments, and public address sys tem service. "Our daily newspaper has done an, excellent job of im proving employee communica tions," a spokesman said. Baseball and the weather get into all issues, or at least the Kansas City A's are in if they are at home. Some issues deal almost entirely with a company promotion, but most issues carry a good variety of late news, hu mor, items about plant visitors, and bits on policy and coming events. The employees were polled about the paper and they voted for its continuance, 89 per cent plus. 4 When packing a'way knitted and jersey garments, fold them around the cardboard forms used by laundries for men's shirts. Use tissue paper also, and fold 'the garment as it was when pur chased. You'll , find that 1 knit dress will have a good-as-new look when fall comes. oemim may 22 JUNE 22 118-39-43-58 62-44-79-831 CANCfR JUNE lJUJY23 Ktt ii n !
