OPEN EVENINGS
is strong faction opposed such drastic
action and for a time the issue
seemed doubtful but at length by
a dramatic coup all the resolutions
presented by Mrs. Atwood were
adopted.
To Meet in Fall
It was announced at yesterday's
[ convention that the’fall "meeting" of
the district in .November will take
place at 1 “aim (springs.
The morning session was devoted
to valuable talks and discussion
from the floor on program mater
ml, ways and means projects and
other technical problems of local
' clubs.
Many valuable suggestions for
' broadening club activities and in
creasing the effectiveness of the
work itt all departments were
brought home by The valley visit
ors and will be passed on "to local
chib boards.
One of the outstanding talks of
the day was that given bv Miss
. Mabel Graham, chairman of motion
, pictures for the state federation
telling of her work among produc
ers in Hollywood, tending toward
better pictures. Her plans for ehibl
! ren's matinees and other features
: Were outlined.

, NEW FIREPLACE A T
CAMP TO HE USED
FOR FIRST TIME
The new fireplace of the Hipass
V. \V. i'. A. camp will be used for
the first time tonight, at the clos
ing ceremonial of the grammar
school Girl Reserve camp. Formal
dedication will take place on Sun
day, June -J, during Women’s
camp.
The fireplace, which was made
possible by the fund started at the
high school camp last summer, is
constructed from grey stoues gath
ered by the girls during winter
camps and used with blue, orange,
ami brown stones donated by
friends. B. L Roberts obtained sev
oral of tin latter from the site
of the Boulder Dam. Mrs. \V. .1.
Stewart of llipass contributed sev
i eral interesting specimens. A few
cnuie from Salfou Sea. Mrs. .\lar
garet Nelson brought one piece of
; petrified wood from the petrified
forest of Imperial Valley. In a
conspicuous place is imbedded a
! small Girl Reserve pin.
Members of the high school and
grammar school Girl Reserve clubs
arc deservedly proud of the fire
place as their own, since none of
the money used in its building
came from the d. W. G. A. budget
fund. All was earned by the girls
■in camp activities or donated by
friends.

Garment Fitting
Is Discussed In
New Bulletin
The eost of fitting garments and
the •♦oss through misfits make up
an important part of the S l-’J bil
lion dollar annual clothing bill of
the United States. Because of the
high cost of labor and materials
more attention is now being given
to reducing this part of the hill.
One move in this direction is the
recent publication by the United;
States department of agriculture of
Farmers' Bulletin 1530-F, Fitting
dresses and Rlmisrs, by Maude
Campbell of the burbau of home eco
nomies.
Retail merchants have to maintain
expensive alteration departments in
order to sell their ready-made
clothes.. Even with the most skill
ful fitters they have some losses in
trade and in goods on account of
unsuccessful attempts to fit custom
ors. Manufacturers also must stand
losses when ill-fitting garments are j
returned bv retailers. The dire t
money loss in hofnemade clothing j
through fitting difficulties is less
"obvious, but even more widespread, i
and it is in the home that the great
est use will be found for the new i
bulletin.
Fitting Is Difficult
Recent surveys show that women
who do their own sewing have more
difficult v with altering patterns
and fitting garments than with any *
other part of garment construction. |
By following the directions that 1
have been worked out much rain
able time and material may be sav
ed. Directions are given for fit
ting dresses and blouses to shonl
decs, neck, bust, hips, and other
parts of the body, and remedies arc •
suggested r'oi fifty comm •it fitting
difficulties. There are aH»» jtjair. j
illustrations showing the correct no I
sition for shoulder, armseye and nth- !
er general lines of dress, and mnk j
ing plain the methods of alteration:
for patterns and garments.
Copies of the bulletin may be ob
tained free on request to the l nited
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, It. C.
Household Hints
To keep cut ham from molding— !
moisten the cut surface with vine
gar.
To make eggs beat quickly—A
tiny pinch of 11 add'd to tln* egg
whites will cauie tike 111 to beat up
mere quickly.
If a thermometer i-, used Jill de
grecs F. or 100 degrees < . indicates
the boiling point of water.
To bake psiin-ackes without smok •
or odor —Make a little salt lug anil
rub the gridiron with it in place of
grease. The cakes will not slick and
there will be m> smoke or odor.
After buying new cake tin s,
I grease and heat them to keep from
rusting.
When a houseplant, especially a
i fern, is dying, pour a tablespoon of
castor oil around the roots. Tfc '
j will make the plant look green and
fresh in a short time.
Add a little flour to the gre-».;»
in which eggs are to be fried and J
the eggs wni not pop, scattering (
grease spids all around, and the
ila \ or ot the eggs will be improved.
