Nail Polish Tops For Fix-it Jobs
When it comes to small fix-it jobs around the dorm, a bottle of nail polish runs a close second to the hairpin for sheer versatility. Everyone knows that a dab of clear nail polish will stop a stocking run, but there are scores of other ways polish can be put into service.
A compact can be protected by brushing it with a coat of clear polish, which will prevent scratches. Brass buttons and silver jewelry will resist tarnish if well painted.
When crocheting or sewing by hand, several coats of clear nail polish put on the side of your forefinger will protect you from needle pricks. A little remover takes the polish off.
To resting beads quickly without needle, dip one end of the string into nail polish and let dry to form a needlelike point. This method is particularly handy when beads have holes too small to take a needle.
Instead of fumbling with that room key, because it's almost like numerous others on your key chain, mark it by a large x in colored nail polish.
To keep buttonholes from raveling while they are being worked in loosely-woven fabrics, apply a thin polish line where each hole is to be, let it dry, and then cut the buttonhole with a razor blade.
A cloth belt won't develop ugly fraved threads if the inner edges are painted with clear nail polish. If the buckle is metal, a coat of colorless polish on this, too, will protect it from tarnish.

Husbands Are Not Qualified To Try to Rebuild Dinette Sets
Attention all women—especially married women.
For physical as well as mental health, hire a carpenter.
Under no circumstances let your husband fix your dinette set.
For physical as well as mental $\textcircled{4}$—
Listen to what Jeff Kennedy, college junior and an amateur carpenter, has to say about this. He never understakes the rebuilding of a dimention cannot appreciate the magnitude of this operation.
is to get some small wooden pegs known as dowels in their appointed places, snugly and firmly. It follows that the table and chairs will then be as strong as Prudential.
"The crux of the whole endeavor
"Dowels, in case you are one of the uninitiated, are the nails of the woodworking profession."
She has been recruiting talent for the variety shows staged by University students at Winter Veterans' hospital in Topeka for the past five years.
These shows are designed to give patients confined to the hospital a moral boost. Mrs. Wolfson said that, contrary to popular criticism, doctors at the hospital have proven that the morale of many patients is lifted for several days by the student shows.
Students are not required to have special talents of any sort. Many who have participated in the past have never sung or danced on the stage before. Although the shows in the past have been composed of amateurs, Mrs. Wolfson said some of them have been on a par with professional performances, as far as therapeutic value for the patients is concerned.
Mrs. R. N. Wolfson, Red Cross chairman of entertainment and instruction for Douglas county, has a job for anyone with a flair for and dancing who likes to make other people feel good.
Student performances are given to open wards, closed wards, and locked ward patients. Open ward shows, with an audience of 100 patients, and closed ward shows, with an audience of 500 patients, are given in the hospital recreation hall. The open wards consist of patients who are nearing complete recovery. The closed ward patients are more seriously ill and are always accompanied by attendants.
Student Talent Requested In Winter Hospital Shows
The locked ward shows are twenty-minute performances given to patients who are too ill to be allowed out of the wards. For these shows students are asked to strive for a constantly changing tempo in the music in order to avoid upsetting patients who cannot stand monotony. Students are also asked to include plenty of variety, avoid loud noise or music, and to wear colorful clothing or costumes.

Groups performing at the hospital are not so closely restricted on the type of entertainment they may give to the open and closed ward patients as they are with locked ward shows.
"Locked wards are known as delayed reaction wards." Mrs. Wolfson said. "Often the group of students will feel that their show has flopped because they received no visible reaction from the patients. However, several days later I will receive a letter from the hospital officials telling me that the patients had finally remarked that they enjoyed the performance."
Anyone interested in joining one of the variety shows may call Mrs. Wolfson at 2974. Transportation will be provided for any group upon request.
Spring Splash 6 Months Early
Treat your dorm room to a splash of spring six months early. Obtain an autumn crocus bulb—colchicum autumnale—and you will have a splash of violet spring this fall.
The autumn crocus blooms with the greatest of ease. It will actually grow and bloom without any water or soil, and the blooms will last from 10 to 15 days.
Get a good strong bulb at your garden supply store, and set it in a small dish on your desk or bureau and it's on its own. In several weeks, during which time there is no need for watering, the plant will emerge from the bulb.
When indoor blooms wither, take the plant outside and plant. In the spring there will be green leaves, and in the fall it will bloom, and continue to bloom every fall for years.
Colchicums (kole - chee - kums) look like early spring flowering crocus which belongs to the iris family, but colchicums are actually in the illy family.
Whether hair is gold or grey, proper shampooing, and that means frequent shampooing with plenty of soapy lather, adds highlights and makes hair much easier to handle.
