—————————————— How to Curtain ¢ a Group of Windows By RUTH WYETH SPEARS 6 EAR MRS. SPEARS: I want to tell you how much practi- cal help I have received from both of your books. I have been sew- ing for years but these books have explained many points that I never understood before. I am now planning new dress my living room up a bit. One group of three windows is especially difficult as the daven- port has to be placed in front of them. Can you give me a sugges- tion? I think I would like a plain valance without gathers or pleats across the top. How should this be made and hung? I have just made a beige slipcover for the davenport with green pipings and bands.—A. D. W.” I would use plain cream colored glass curtains for all three win- dows and overdrapes at the ends “VALANCE BOARD OVER WINDOWS A only. A striped material in tones of tan and green and blue would be nice for the draperies with a narrow fringe edging in green and tan or green and blue. A valance board at the top of the windows is essential when a plain valance is used. This board should be four inches wide and % inch thick. It is screwed in place with L brack- ets. Ordinary metal curtain rods are placed just under it for the glass curtains and side drapes. The plain valance should be long enough to fit around the ends of the board and should be about six inches deep finished. It should be stiffened with an interlining of crinoline, and an allowance should be made at the top for a tuck or fold to be tacked to the board as shown.

Although much Jules Vernish stuff has been written about his ‘‘rockets to the moon” and about shooting people across the Atlantic in a few min- utes, he has been an aloof and pa- tient scientist, intent on seeing only what he sees and not making any handsome promises. So far as this courier knows, the suggestion by Maj. James R. Randolph that rockets may replace heavy artillery, for long- range bombardment of cities, is the first official recognition of their possible use in warfare. He specifically cites the work of Doctor Goddard, at a time when Doctor Goddard is piling up new patents and getting some of his biggest sizzlers under con- trol. It is also the time when the tiny, motored plane, evolv- ing from the toy, and controlled by radio, is absorbing the inter- est of the army experimenters as a possible bomb-dropper. At Roswell, N. M., financed by the Daniel Guggenheim foundafion, Doctor Goddard has a unique desert laboratory with plenty of elbow room and sky room. He now has a gyro steering mechanism on his rockets, by which they may be ac- curately aimed. He has gained 30 per cent in range over his best shots of two years ago, and is now forcing his rockets to a speed of 700 miles per hour. His most valuable contribution to rocketeering, noted by Major Randolph, is his continuous flow of power, instead of the single initial explosion. Gasoline and oxygen, mixing and exploding as they issue from a tail nozzle, give steady propulsion. Doctor Goddard, an amiable, assuming, baldish man, rocket experime un- began his nts at Clark univer- sity in 1914. He is a physicist, ab- sorbed in pure science, admitting that we might hit the moon with a rocket if we wanted to spend that much power, but so far he keeps down to earth on immediate and specific problems—and makes prog ress. T DOES begin to look as though scientists will be the loudest of when ‘Beulah Land the next singfest. Church and Test Tubes Are Teaming Up all rings out at Once upon a time, religionists locked warily whenever a man of science opened his mouth, because so many of them were arguing against a hereafter. But Sir Richard Gregory, with his “It is just as permissible to assume that another world awaits habita- tion of an exalted type of humanity as it is to believe in the eternal ex- istence of individuality,” is only the latest of many to hit the sawdust trail. Emeritus professor of asiron- omy, Queens college, London, is one of his present distinctions, and he is also a former editor of the magazine, Nature. The stars have been his chief guide for most of the years since he was born in 1864, How much their lessons helped him to his knighthood, 1919, and his baron- etcy, 1931, is a question. But certainly, along with his aec- knowledged interest in heaven, they must take responsibility fer his chief books, “The Vault of Heaven" and “Discovery, or the Spirit of Service of Science.” wil ROF. WALTER B. CANNON of Harvard avoided a mistake made by Howard Scott. When Mr. Scott appeared as the John the Baptist of technocracy, he started taking our measure for its immediate application, When Professor Cannon put out “biocracy’’ several years ago, as a cure for the ills of the “body poli- tic,” he made it clear that we could take it or leave it. Hence, while bi- ocracy is still in the suspense file, Professor Cannon finds honor and advancement as the newly-elected president of the American.Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, which body is driving for some grand scale rationalization of sci- ence and society. That's the main idea of biocracy-a society which is not at war with the life force. He is one of the most distinguished physiologists in America, given to novel research. He is the discover- er of a method by which we may hear our brains ticking. Consolidated News Features. .

And again fashion says pleat it, which is exactly what de- signers are doing for spring. Only this time the pleatings are more so than ever. That is the pleated mood permeates the whole scheme of things from neckline to hemline. In the newer fashions it is not only the skirt that is pleated, but the whole thing, including blouse top sleeves and just as like as not a pleated bolero is added. The use of pleats is taking on a decidedly designful flair. The versa- tile way pleats are being handled is clever beyond words. You see rnost unique touches especially in blouse styling such as pleats brought down from each shoulder to tie in a soft knot at the girdle top. Surplice pleats that cross from shoulder to shoulder finishing in a bow at the waist-line with pleated streamers.

Not Detract From Beauty By PATRICIA LINDSAY OME beauty authorities stress In the first place, if your eyes are so weak that constant use of tamper with them the better. prescribed by your occulist, should be the extent of your fussing. Plenty of rest and eye exercise, of course, but no mascara nor eye shadow nor brows, yes, and keep them trim. But do not pluck them to a thin line. Many physi- cians offer the opinion that too fre- quent plucking of the eyebrows weakens the eyes. So you see? Touch up your Concentrate on Hair and Lips Put on your glasses and sit be- fore your mirror. Comb your hai softly around your face. Chang your regular part. Experiment. In most cases, hair brought down softly over the ears, fluffed a bit to fall out on the chee k, just below the ear shaft of the glasses, is the most flattering. But if you are the sleek type, and comb your hair back from your face, then you must accent your lips to detract from the frames. Full lips of rich color, not deep, does a lot for u Sleek the r too style, manner in which you rouge your lips is most in Try two lip sticks. The lighter color for the upper lip, the deeper tone for the lower lip. Liquid lip rouge pain ted on with a fine brush and a steady hand, is the most lasting. It takes a little practice to apply it well, but it is worth the effort in the end. Keep your hair glossy, with daily care, and nicely set. Keep your skin clear and your teeth sparkling white; your brows trim and your lip coloring intact and I can vouch that your eyeglasses will be hardly noticed. If you feel the desire for some eye make-up rely on vaseline or a reliable eye oil with which to light- ly massage your lids and lashes. They glisten and give some depth to the eyes, and are also beneficial. Health Ess To Chorm A rule she portant. ential teaches is: ‘““Watch your health. Sleep, exercise and drink water.

If your health is good you are not nervous, merely cranky, and people soon discover it. If your health is poor do something about it.” Strong words, aren't they? And here are some more well worth di- gesting and particularly suited to the growing girl. “Don’t count on being only beauti- ful.
