cleaned or .-unitized at a nominal I
Cost. j
Mow many pound ol feathei
will it take to make a comfort '.'
Five or 7 'a pounds. Some j
feather, however, weigh heavier
than other If you havi
sanil ized you will need I o
pounds of feather in on
five pounds of feathers back.
When the feather^ an dripped of
stem, they weigh lighter. When |
you are ju^t having them cleaned, I
you get the same number of
pounds hack as you have cleaned. ]
How much material does it take .' j
Ten yards of !i(!-inch wide ma j
tetial. Nine yards of cord if you |
want to finish the comfort edge !
oir with cord and three spools of j
thread.
Where can I get the material? j
What must I call for?
You call for down proof tick- |
ing and at some other time I'll be j
glad to give you addresse of j
merchants who handle the mater i
ial.
How do you prepare the com j
fort for the feathers?
Your material of 10 yards will 1
be divided by sewing together two
strips of material . . . making your
quilt 21-1 yards long and two yard
wide . . . This will take five yard
for the top and five for the hot
torn. Cut off the selvege and sew-
together both top and bottom.
Press seams, turning on■ one way I
and one the other. I'lai e top am
bottom together and ba t
gether down earn. Then you an
ready to draw your d< -ign.
How should thi• he done?
Lay the comfort on the floor.
Get the center of the comfort
Haste the top and bottom together-
down the ( enter earn. I .a v \ out
pattern on the comfort and mark
off with chalk. Then baste the de-
sign with long loose stitche-. Then
the comfort is ready to titch the
design with the machine.
How should the edge of the
comfort be finished"'
Some prefer to -ew them up on
them
while
edge
and stitch along the edge,
others prefer to finish tin
with a cord.
How do you put tin feat > > n
the comfort'.'
The feathers are blown it: ui'li
a rug cleaner. I prefer to u-e the
little hand upholstery cleaner and
u-e tin attachment for the large

many concern.- having branches in
this state. These figures wen-
I eloa ed by ( apt. .1. I Lucey. l ex
a d)rector for the Finnish relief
fund, tb. week from his office in
I lalla . At the nine time < 'apt

The Texa director wa profit--
in hi compliment of the uh . rip-
lion campaign conducted by Texa
new papers
the ranking states. Only New
York, Illinois, California and one
or two other states are credited
with a greater total in contribu-
tions.
In a recent communication from
Herbert Hoover, national director
of the fund, a request was made
that the new-papers continue to
k< ep their columns op' n for sub-
si i fit ion - and that local commit-
tee continue their organization.
"Finland needs help as badly
now i- ever," ('apt. Lucy said.
"Ih b'ibilitation mu.-t be carried
on. Hundred- of thousand- of the
Finnish people must -eek new
home in different localities be-
cause their former homes are now
a part of Russia. This means
starting from scratch as their
household effects were destroyed
in the war. They are penniless
and without equipment."
According to information from
national headquarters in New
York, the Hoover organization has
been skeletonized to a few work-
i i The volunteer Workers and
Mr. Hoover are returning to pri
Mite life and business, although
Mr. Hoover will keep in touch with
the \i-w York office, it i said. Ho-
of "'o new "tun all dona-
tions should be mailed direct to
the national offices in New York.
1 Texas fulfilled her ptaiffe, Capt.
Lucey said, in that evtrjr «ent of
the collected fund* went 190 p«r
cent to Finnish relief. Kxpenses
of the campaign wtrt taken care
of hy private donations made by
friends of the cause — Inrgely the
membership of the committee*.
"The people of Texas responded
magnificently," said ('nipt. Lucey.
"They stepped to the side of u
stricken people who were lighting
against overwhelming odds am'
gave liberally of their wealth am
sympathy. I am proud of Texa
and her people and am glad to b-
one of this great/ family. I can
not say more."
One way of keeping our feet
on the ground
What a changed world it was for the first
balloonist. He saw liills and valleys level
out. He saw dark clouds serving n thrill-
ing purpose when they reflected a gor-
geous sunset. He got a new perspective.
Wise is the man who takes a broad
view of today's events and keeps them
always in true focus. He makes no moun-
tain out of a rumor and sees no valley as
deep as the despair of the pessimists. He
is confident that he can take the hurdles
as they come.
Such n man has the will to work—and
the good judgment to relax when work
is done. Moderate in all things, in his
thoughts and in his activities, he is living
— really living—with and for his family
and among his friends. (He is unusual if
he doesn't usually serve Budweiser.) He
is, indeed, the backbone of America.
