Daisy Hot Dish Mat An Appropriate Gift By RUTH WTETH SPEARS IT WAS the flower handle of the * tea-pot lid that suggested this daisy mat. I had been thinking of making a hot dish out of firmly braided strips of cotton cloth. I wanted it to be thick and sewn firmly like a rag rug, so that it would stand frequent scrubbings. The design had to be novel and gay so that it would be appropriate for a Christmas gift or would attract attention if used to sell at a church bazaar. All the directions you need to make one are right here in the sketch. Cotton flannel or heavy cotton knitted material are good to use for the braided strips. Cut the strips two inches wide if the goods is heavy or wider if light weight. Braid tightly and then use No. 8 white cotton thread to sew, as shown. A set of these mats are pretty on the table; and mats for oval dishes may be made by sewing two daisies together. * • • NOTE: There are directions for a hot dish mat made of cable cord In SEWING.

Name Address Our Coast Line According to United States coast and geodetic survey figures, the continental United States, her territories, possessions and dependencies have a total general coast line of 16,900 land miles. If, however, all inland shores reached by tidal waters up to the point where such waters narrow to a width of three miles is included, the total coast line amounts to approximately 40,300 land miles.— Pathfinder. 4 cups of 4^^ GARFIELD TEA You'll Ilk* the way it enape you buck to the feeling of "rartn' to go" ritneet and Internal ctoMttaoae.

PARTON (Consolidated Features— WNU Service.) EW YORK.—In 1933, young Nelson A. Rockefeller was hand ed a delicate job of commercial and cultural co-ordination, indeed a Rockefeller Well * tm t ^^l ment for a Qualified tor His beginner in n r\ j- *• » i this field. It Co-OrdwationJobwtia tQ ^. suade the Fiery Oiego Rivera to x-out that head of Lenin in his murals at Rockefeller Center. He managed the affair with tact and restraint, undisturbed by the thunder from the left. Now he has progressed to fulltime work in that highly specialized field. He is co-ordinator of commercial and cultural relations between the United States and other Western hemisphere nations. Currently he is in the news as he appoints John Hay Whitney to hia staff, to take care of motion picture details of the above co-ordinating. I remember talking to one of bis teachers at Lincoln school, New York. She said Nelson was good material for progressive education, as he had a way of getting on with people. He was a good student, too, romping so far ahead of schedule at Dartmouth that they gave him his senior year off. He devoted it to a wanderjahr, in which he went to India and had a long chat with Mahatma Gandhi, and studied photography. Taking op the rich man's burden, he devoted himself mainly to the family real estate, becoming president of Rockefeller Center, which, incidentally, is one of the most successful feats of commercial and cultural co-ordination In the world. Mr. Rockefeller, born In Bar Harbor, Maine, in 1907, is tall, blonde and reticent, an abstainer from alcohol and tobacco, always deeply in earnest. With his .manifold business interests he combines a careful and diligent trusteeship of the Museum of Modem Art. This department can't help but feel a bit doubtful about co-ordinating commerce and the arts—unless there is a John Masefleld around to write a poem like "Cargoes." ^ [/" ING BORIS of Bulgaria is doing ^ the best he can for his Little Cinderella kingdom, but things don't look so good. He reviews troops King Boris Would f^^f 8 ^ Rather Be 'Caaey guns around Jon„ o, Balkan, • " # ; ** that he is just making himself a lot of unnecessary trouble. As a king, he never did have his heart in his work. He has a passion for trains and never misses a chance to drive a locomotive. Engines fill his life and bis dreams. When his father, Ferdinand, abdicated In 1918, the young man insisted that be be allowed to go to America and be a railroad engineer, but his father forbade It. Ascetic in appearance, always of seemly behavior, he moved immaculately through Balkan wars, revolutions and internecine dogfights. Ferdinand had apprenticed him to a versatile fighting man in 1912, when he was only 18 years old. He fought dutifully, but seemed always to be listening for the whistle of old 97, coming round the bend. His wardrobe, one of the best in Europe, runs mainly to pinstripes. He is a nimble dancer, good at all such orthodox sports as boar-hunting and timber-topping, but aroused and eager only when he has his hand on the throttle of a locomotive. la 193$, he married the Princess Giovanaa of Italy. This alliance was regarded, among other dynastic ties, as a stabilising and safeguarding influence fer his kingdom, but now seems ef small account, la 1934, internal stress led the king to set up a dictatorship, by a military oen> It didn't help much.

French, Washington Digest The Pinckney Dispatch Congress Establishes Vocational Schools to Train Farm Youlh Rural Schools to Offer Instruction in Mechanical Trades; Rumors Predict Roosevelt, WiUkie Will Name Loser to Head Defense Board. By BAUKHAGE (Released by Westers Newspaper Union.) WASHINGTON.-Remember that old song: "How you going to keep 'em down on the farm, after they've seen Paree"? Well, you're not going to be able to keep some of them down on the farm who haven't seen Paree. This time it isn't the bright lights that are calling, it's the pay envelope. Not the lure of the ladies but the lathes and riveters and stamping machines in the factories that are calling. At least, that is what the experts here in Washington who claim they can see through a haystack without blinders prognosticate. And Uncle Sam is helping. Most people didn't notice it but congress slipped $10,000,000 into the last deficiency bill, most of which is going toward helping the farm boy get a job in the city. The money is to be appropriated as part of the industrial defense program for "out-ofschool rural and non-rural vocational schools" but the fact is that states will share in the fund according to their farm population. At present more than 2,500 rural vocational schools are offering instruction in vocational agriculture. These schools, if they get additional money for equipment and teaching, can provide training in auto-mechanics and other skills basic to defense industries. • • • City Employer* Prefer Men Raised on Farm And this isn't just a defense measure, either. We know that scarcely any city produces enough babies to keep its population even. We know that while some farm districts are overpopulated now and have been since the depression, a lot of farmers' sons will always go to the city if they can find work there. Right now defense industries need help and they prefer a man with a card that shows he has had vocational training. This doesn't mean that agricultural vocational training will be cut down but the $10,000,000, while it won't go very far, will help a lot to give the farm boy the mechanical training the city boys have been getting. But there is another reason why more farm boys are going to get city jobs. They are preferred in a lot of industries anyhow. A farm boy makes a good factory worker, the experts teU us, if he comes from a farm where machinery has been used, because he's just that much more experienced than the city boy. Especially the tractor wheat farms of the Northwest, the corn-belt, the Mississippi South. He knows a cam from a gear, he knows what makes the wheels go round. He can transfer this "feel" he has for farm machinery to a lathe or any other simple machine. Another thing, he's better disciplined than the city boy. On the farm Pa is the foreman. The boy is used to taking orders. Also he's used to working hard. And when he goes to the city he's likely to be steadier and more reliable than the city worker. • a • Defense Commission Post in Doubt There is an interesting rumor chasing itself around the lamp-posts on Pennsylvania avenue these days. It's one of those wish-fathered thoughts but it's worth repeating over anybody's back fence. This is the way it goes: "If Roosevelt is elected he's going to make Wendell Willkie ehairman of the defense commission. If WiUkie is elected he's going to name Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the Job." Such a consummation might do more to unify the defense program than any other single thing. At present there isn't any chairman of the commission. When Mr. Knudsen, head of the production unit of the group, has a problem that involves national policy he has to put on his hat and walk over to the White House, or eise call National 1414 and ask vt speak to one Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for he's the boss. The same thing applies to the heads of the other units. As a matter of record mere has been no public criticism on the part of the defense commissioners about the arrangement but some people feel that it would be a wonderful thing as far as public opinion goes, if the next President, whoever he may be after next January, picks hia erstwhile TRADE SCHOOLS Farm youths win soon be offered training in mechanical trades, according to Baokhage. He passes on the rumor whispered in Washington that when Roosevelt or Willkie is elected in November, the losing candidate will be appointed chairman of the Defense commission. If the election is close, Baukhage writes that it is possible the United States may he without s president after January SO. • century.
