What men admire most about a woman.

~FASHIONS: |

When it comes to woman on the stage, that.is woman,
~as woman and aside from their professional art, the disagreement between the male and the female of the species this side

of the footlights is usually of an intensity, hardly exceeded by
their opposite views on disagreement extends from the wo-.

men~s looks to their dress. From their degree of appeal to
their general personal attractiveness, and from almost everything else.

Waving aside all the.complex and fancy suggestions of
~this male, the woman still dresses to be the most talked of wo
> men, of the day. The light of Man~s standards. So coming back

>

to our selfish taste, we're famous for the classic interchangeables.

Fine Botnoy Brand wool gabardine in hand picked col
ors, soft as a sunset, basic as the ~~little black~~ coordinates our
prodigies ~ on the: tennis courts this summer, dining out, or at
the clubs.

The last word in prim waistbands with multiple stitching.
Gigantic Peter Pan collars and small boy cuffs, long sleeves
in blazing prints will do a gray justice to that question of charm
that makes a woman charming to men on or off any stage of
life. As always the elusive male falls under the spell of a wo
man~ s attractive simplicity.

Deliver the Mitk

More motor vehicles are used in
the distribution of milk than any
other commodity. ~There are approximately, 190,000 trucks used in
delivering milk and dairy products
from farms to plants and from
plants to consumers.

Pioneer Dowry

In log cabin days, a dowry was
not complete unless it included several choice pillows. Choice pillows
were not a simple matter then because they )iad to be made by hand.
Mothers, aunts and grandmothers
would get together and work many
painstaking hours-at separating and
curing the feathers and- down for
this particular contribution to _
new household-to-be.

Wars Popularized Potatoes

War made potatoes: a common
crop in Germany. In the 1600s the
Germans of the Rhineland began
planting them because while invading armies often destroyed other
crops, they did not stop to dig up
potatoes.

Now ~IT WASN~T TOLD TO ME, I ONLY HEARD IT~ but
it is common gossip that there is definitely something between
these two. The whole thing looks furiny to me, I know that this
bartender i is on the ~~~Hep~ side. And I can~t picture him playing around with this young lady, I wonder if her hitting the
numbers had anything to do with it. By the way if: his ~407~
should happen to hit, I know one fellow that he has been owing 90c to for the last two years. If he can ~banquet~ all the

Right Garden Plants
In selecting varieties, gardeners
should make sure the growing season (period between the last killing

~frost in the spring and the first kill
ing frost in the fall) is long enough
to mature the varieties to be
planted.

Hunters Increase

Figures for the 1946 season warrant the estimate that 30 per.cent
more hunters invaded the woods
and fields then than in 1945 when,
despite firearms and ammunition
shortages, an all-time high of nearly
10 million licensed gunners was established. ~

The average size of U. S. farms
today is 200 acres. This means a 50 -acre increase since 1920. The number of farms hds decreased over 10

FEPC Bill

~Hits Snag In

Committee Room

PITTSBURGH, Pa.~(APNS)~

-Harrisonburg (By Special
Correspondent Harrison ~
Phillips) ~- The House Lakor
Relations Committee of which
Adam T. Bower, Sunbury Republican is chairman, has bottled up the Administraticn~s
Fair Employment Practices
Bill, despite Governor Duff's
efforts to have the measure

-passed.

Chairman Bower has refused a direct request by the governor that the Committee report out the bill for early zction since only two or three
weeks remain in which the
1947 Legislature can pass on
legislation.

It is reported that Bower is
opposed to the bill and will
not support a favorable committee -recommendation. He
also told the governor thet
there are not enough votes in
the committee to report out
the bill so it is reported.

The measure,
Duff, has been in committee
since March 26. Five Repub
lican assemblymen co-sponsor
~ed the bill. New York, Mas:
achusetts and New Jersey have
been the models for the bottled bill, which would provide
for the creation of a five man
commission to conciliate. and
prosecute complaints.

Hope for the Pennsylvania
measure is held if Governor
Duff polls individual members
of- the committee in order to
get the bill moving. Another
hope is: maybe the committee
independent of Representative
Bower's attitude might free
the bill.

Governor Duff has told
House and Senate leaders that
~some form~ of FEPC leg~slation is a must on the assembly~s calendar. He insisted that
the Republican platform on

-which members of the Legis
lature as we'l as himself, were
elected last fall was due to
the promise to legislation to
help wipe out race discrimination in industry.

All the governors tact and

~determination to move an F.

E. P. C. bill despite the fact
that both parties pledged to

support discrimination curbed |
| legis ation, will be required of

the governor.

The economy-minded rural bloc, which is not in favor
of the FEPC bill bases the'r
oppositicn on the proposal for
crea'ing five new, $10,C00
yearly jobs, which commission
members would be paid. Objection to the FEPC powers

| similar to the powers held by

the Public Utility Commission
has also been voiced. -

A campaign ~ of education
and conciliaticn of fair employment practices and complaints would be the FEPC~s
main function. Pros:cu'ion
would be lastly resorted to.

Shun State Asylums

Eighty-five per cent of the nation~s hospitalized mental patients
are in state-supported institutions.
Yet few psychiatrists~and there

are only 4,000 out of a total 189,000 |

U. S. doctors~prefer to work in
state institutions. The National
Committee for Mental Hygiene reports that of 900 psychiatrists interviewed last year on their return
from the armed forces, only 60
chose to take jobs in state hospitals.

SATAY ee

TWO 40 YEARS AGO

PITTSBURGH, Pa~(APNS)~

Two young boys in need of home life, as well as a place
to stay, were proudly accepted hme Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Coleman, in the year of 1907. The goodwill attention on the part
of the Pittsburgh family toward boys seeking assistance caused them to establish the Coleman Home for Boys which~ was
chartered in 1911.

About 1900 boys have been served home life by the institution since its start until its doors were closed a little over
two years ago. Most of the young ones grew and developed
admirable characters of their own. Quick memory calls.attention to a well practicing dentist and an outstanding singer who
had their good home influences in the Coleman project.

Splendid ideals were practiced in assisting the boys
whose lives need comfortable
surroundings for health and
happiness. Mr. Coleman orexcellent music
band among the boys at one
time.

Through the band activities

the public and its organization,
~al leaders will. prove desirable
under present Pittsburgh community conditions.-~~ ~~~ -
Examples of the professionals provide knowledge of their
careers as associated ~with happy surroundings in the. _Coleman Home where inspiration
backed by|
a couple of legacies were left
to the home; Mr. E. McAfee
left $10,000. Another splendid feature on Mr. Coleman's
part, was his teaching of
Chinaware painting to boys interested..
Coieman ftlome was: ee
actively in operation by -donations, special organizational
dinners, State of Pennsylvania
appropriations, fees: paid by
Allegheny County for keeping
some boys, collections raised
on tag days, and other: kind}
gifts from the public which
includes the legacies.

Boys reared in-the hotn~
had comfort and certainty,of
family life. The. age bracket
was six to sixteen. The young
ones properly attended school.
On their own, somé found occasion to sell newspapers and
others to work part-time in
stores. They spent the earned
monies for clothing and other
personal uses. Boys who did~
not work engaged their time
around the_ home in leisure,
study, paly and some help to
matrons.

In summer, some boys went
to James Weldon Johnson
Camp in Penn~a., Several location changes have occurred.
The home was first opened on
La Place Street and was later
moved to Horton and Wylie
Avenue where it. caught fire.

The Directors next purchased |.

a suitable place on Bedford
-Avenue near Robert St. Another change in its mobility
led to a location near Breckenridge St. where the government purchased this and ot
properties for the Terrace illage Housing Project. ~

The event in turn, led to
the Board_of Directors purchase about 9 years ago of the
present 14 room Home building at 3046 Centre Avenue, a
site of about two acres of
land. The three~ story building
is equipped with one fire escape. Nine of its rooms are 12
x 14 feet, and three rooms are
smaller.

Two matrons kept the
place clean ~with some~ help
of boys. Another lady came
once a week to do the laundry
work. The Coleman~.Home

'

closed about two. years ago} ~
when matrons left home and}

matrons could not be secured
because of low pay~ which
home was in position to offer.

In consequence the building
has been vacated and the furniture removed.

The largest number of boys
to reside in the:
Home on Centre Ave. at one

time, amounted.to forty. The

number dwindled: down to 2:
and none. Break..was due to
lack of funds and, help.. Some,,
boys resided in-the establi. hment because of parents failure to support or other inse4
curity causes. Some boys were
sent for proper home surroundings in consequence. of
their committal of petty unlawful acts..

Nine members compose the}

board of directors with,Mrs

Cora B. Jones of 7528 Tioga] fested his aha a

St. serving as president.
(Editorial Comment):

and other children~s homes
should be in high public~ esteem for promoting improve
ments early in social retarded
youngsters lives to public: ad- |

As already UE EY the
Coleman Home in the past encouraged 1960 or so young
human beings of color. It
would be very swell if it could
help even a greater number
of young men in the future.

Except for Shorty Sherock,
the same musicians that were

guitar, Johnny Miller~on Bass,
