WOMEN SHOULD HAVE
PRACTICAL POCKETS
Packets may be practical as well
as decorative, Mrs. Dora Barnes,
clothing specialist of the A. and
M. College Extension Service, re-
minds homemakers. House dress-
es, aprons, play suits and garden
or work clothes will be more con-
venient and satisfactory if pockets
are made fully useful.
On the skirt, pockets should be
placed where the hands slip in
naturally, says Mrs. Barnes. Pock-
ets on readymade dresses and pat-
terns are often too high. Because
arms differ in length, the location
of the pocket needs to be tried
out before final stitching is done.
Pockets slanted slightly toward the
side are more conventient and also
safer because they are less likely
to catch on handles and door
knobs.
Since the primary purpose of a
pocket is to hold things, Mrs.
Barnes suggests that skirt pockets
be roomy enough for a clenched
fist to go in and out easily. This
requires cutting the pocket large
enough and then placing it on a
loose part of the garment.
To make pockets durable, rein-
force top corners where the great-
est strain comes. A strip of tape,
basted on the underside of the
dress across the top pocket hne,
can be stitched on with the pocket
to give corner strength. A double
row of stitching across the top of
the pocket itself gives added
strength against pull at this point.
KEROSENE BEST FOR
CLEANING MACHINE
“In cleaning a sewing machine,
kerosene is one of the best fluids
for it is ^ light lubricant and is
not as great a fire hazard as gas-
oline or similar fluids, Miss
Wanda Kimbrell told members
of the Panhandle Home Demon-
stration club when they met m
the home of Mrs. J. L. Slimp for
a demonstration <on cleaning and
adjusting sewing machines. _
Miss Mary Routh, associate
j clothing specialist of Texas A. and
M. college, gave the pointers on ad-
justing a machine and said, “We
always assume the lower tension
is right until proved otherwise
and it should be left alone if pos-
gible

Father Follows
Two Sons In
Mystery Deaths
BROWNWOOD. Tex., March 26
—L. M. Middick, 81, father
of the two brothers who died in
Amai-illo last week of what was
called a “mysterious malady”,
died suddenly last night in Ama-
rillo.
His. daughter, Mrs. Eloise Cor-
bin of Brownwood, said they did
not think his death was caused
by the same type of illness, how-
ever. It was believed to be an
intestinal disease, and not the
“new type of influenza” to which
his sons’ deaths were attributed.
Mrs. Corbin had visited Ama-
rillo Sunday, and said her father
was in excellent health then and
had talked of a fishing trip. She
returned here. He became ill Sun-
day night, and died yesterday. He
is survived by his widow and
two daughters.
(In Amarillo today. Dr. J. V.
Irons, of the State Health Depart-
ment. continued his investigation
into the malady from which 39
persons have been ill.
