DEAR MISS DIX: I would like to get sewing to do at home, such as altering dresses, etc. Could you tell me how I can go about obtaining this type of work?

, E. H. B.

ANSVI ER: -I know of few kinds of work more In demand than the type of sewing you can do. Practically every family needs mend-

Iing or alterations done at one time or another, and many women lack

the ability. time. or desire to do them. You'd be welcomed with VI'ld(i-Op-N1 arms in many households. Contact the cleaning establish- mentsgin your n-eighhorhocdpand ask if they'll permit you to place cards in their windows, specifying the. type of work you want. Small dress shops would also be good prospects. A sign in the window of your own home, if permitted, will be helpful as would H notice posted on the bulletin board of tin organization employing ii number of women. In your locality there are many such firms, and

Ipl-mm-. havp me goods sent up and I'm sure they'd be co-operative enough to render you this courtesy.

DEAR MISS PIXI. A. vrry good friend of mine is having difficulty with her hair. She is I5 years old, lives alone and has no one to IWII7 II9I'- C0n59(lU9nII.l'. NW half. of which she has always been quite pl'0Il('l.. has been neglected and is now woefully mailed. She canlt comb it and has. now reached the point where she just, puts hairpins in II. She tiocsnt want to have ll. cut. but perhaps can be persuaded to do so.

ALLIE

ANSWER: Certainly the only satisfactory solution, as well as the obvious one, is to have your friend's hair cut short. Have it done by an l'lXpPl'lEflf'PCl operator, then perhaps you or some other kind neighbor will give the lady a home permanent, if her hair isn't nat- urally" wavy. Short. hair, well kept, is surely more attractive than long, uncarcd-for locks.

And one day of this week, on the heels of a sale, 3 few beeves were taken off by truck to market. And speaking of it we agreed. with James that "this is indeed a re- markable winter so far, with ma- chines able to come right. to the yard." At the some time, in the

event that this byroad should suddenly become drifted, Rob's truck is left in the vicinity of the highway to take care of such

Two friends were discussing their family doctors. The one said he liked his family doctor because after making his exairiination. he went right ahead with the treat-I meni. whether it was medical ori

surg:cal; he did not refer you to this or that specialist. The other stated that receiving all-round

treatment from a general practit-

ioner was all right in B. countigr district. and was certainly good training for the doctor. making

him more self-reliant. but what he wanted was the best treatment possible and he was willing to pay for it.

It is true that this is the age of Sp('('lallSts and has been for the past thirty years and it is reason- able to believe that the specialist must know more about his spec- ialty than the general practitioner. There is, however, one important point to consider and that is that the general practitioner usually knows his patient personally which means his general make-up about meeting illnesses and other prob- lems. and also the general practi- tioner has to make the diagnosis in order to refer the patient. to the special specialist he believes can best help him.
