Explains How To
Judge Blankets
With cold weather in prospect, the ,
housewife-consumer is faced with
the problem of buying new blankets. I
There are a number of varieties to J
choose from sold in retail stores.
To eliminate the guesswork in pur-;
chasing, Mrs. Bernice Claytor, spec-
ialist in home improvement for the
A. and M. College Extension Service,
offers some suggestions to the prac-
tical buyer who wants warmth and
durability without too much weight.
The ideal blanket will keep out
cold drafts and is strong enough to
hold together in laundering and to
resist wear by rubbing. At the same
time it is not so heavy as to be un-
comfortable as a bed covering nor so
expansive that the average consum-
er cannot afford it.
"When buying blankets," she says,
"look for those with the highest per-
centage of good quality wool within
the price range you desire, for the
percentage of wool is an indication
of the warmth of a blanket. Examine
the way in which the ends of the
binding are finished. On the better

quality blankets the binding is boxed
at the corner, that is, folded back an
inch or more at the end."
If two all-wool blankets alike in
size and price are different in weight,
the heavier one has more wool for
the money, Mrs. Claytor explains.
She also advises: "Before deciding on
the color, unfold and look at tha cn-'
tire blanket to make sure that it has
an even tone all over. While you have
the blanket unfolded, examine the
ends to see if they are cut stiaight.
Be sure also that contrasting bord-
ers, stripes and plaids are of the
same fiber and woven in the same
way as the rest of ihe banket."
The specialist also advises meas-
uring of a blanket in the event the
label does not give this information.
A blanker 80 by 90 inches is suffic-
iently large to tuck in well and to
cover even a very large person, she
says.

FAST-LIVING
A generation ago living conditions
were less forced than they are today.
Clock-consciousness was defined by
hours rather than by minutes. And
while there was less actual leisure
then than now, the tempo of daily
existence was moderate. Tfciday,
transportation, manufacturing, busi-
ness recreation, and life in general,
to a great extent, seem to be under
time's driving influence. While this
new speed has definitely contributed
to the amazing progress that has
made this country great, and is re-
flected in the high living conditions
now enjoyed in the average home, it
has not been without its drawbacks.
"One of the most important of these
is its possible effect upon health,
states Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer.
"Of course no one would revert to
former days, but it cannot be denied
that misdirected, high-tension living
overtaxes the nervous system and
may undermine the general health of
the individual. Recently, an out-
standing neurologist, after making
allowances for disease conditions due
to syphilis, drug addiction, alcohol-
ism, congenital defects, and old age,
claimed that many cases of mental
collapse and less marked conditions
of the nervous system could be trac-
ed to a too-rapid pace both in work
and play, and to an accompanying
habitual disregard .of b^iic health
requirements. He emphasized,' how-
ever, that the fault does not lie so
much in the high-pressure system of
life as in overapplication.
"A sustained, fast living pace can
be somewhat neutralized by the wise
expenditure of leisure time. Indeed,
it can be said that it is not one's oc-
cupation, however exacting it may
be, which usually does the damage
to nerves and health, but the com-
bination of high-speed work and dis-
regard of nature's fundamental laws.
"Those who are burning the candle
at both ends could well stop to con-
sider that the excessive use of stim-
ulants, consistent loss of sleep, and
the nerve shattering practices in
general are the real allies of nervous
breakdowns, neurotic conditions, and
