` If your Victory garden has run into
a dry spell, you must do something
about it if you expect to harvest
bountiful crops. Water constitutes
more than 90 per cent. of the weight
of nearly all Victory vegetables.
If your Victory garden is dry, don't
wait for or depend upon anticipated
rains. Rain will come, but not always
before your Victory plants have suf-
lered a set-back.
The accompanying Garden-Graph
shows one way a testing the soil to
see if watering is needed as an em-
ergency measure. Dig six inches into
the soil with a garden trowel. Ex-
amine the soil for appearance and
"feel" by rubbing it between your
ringers.
A good method of watering the Vic-
tory garden so as to soak the subsoil
where it will do the plants the most
good, is also illustrated. Remove the
nozzle from the hose, Place the end
of the hose on a piece of board and
allow the water to flow slowly until
the subsoil is completely soaked.
In caring for drought-threatened
plants it is well to remember that a
thorough soaking from the hose is far
Hello, Homemakers! Mothers are
busy getting the children's clothes
ready for school—mending, letting out
and pressing. Youngsters always
seem to "stretch up" so during the
summer!
This year more mothers than ever
will 'be making alterations on the
children's clothes as well as their own.
It is economical and it is wise. For
instance you can:
(1) Mend frayed edges of sleeves and
make the jacket stylish too, by
using bias strips of a contrasting
material to pipe each sleeve,
(2) Use any suitable remnants to line
pockets or hand bags, Stitch the
edges of skirt pleats to strengthen
the material.
(3) Hand stitch edges of jacket open-
ings if the garment has lost its
press,
(4) Sew a `,`turned" edge or a hem
which is not deep enough to let
down.
(5) Make side fasteners. Strips of
hooks and eyes for repairing
.corselettes are available and you
could clip off a section and stitch
in the tab upon -which the hooks
and eyes are fastened.
Nearly every child is eager to help
and now while mother is busy, young
daughter may take over in the kitchen.
With the encouragement of mother's
praise,' she will go a long way towards
'becoming an excellent cook. Simple
dishes and guidance in the use of
electrical appliances will make meal-

POINTS IN OPERATING AN
ELECTRIC SEWING MACHINE
1. Clean and oil the electric machine
after each garment is made.
2. Use pure sewing machine oil—other
oils gum. Use a small quantity..
3. Thread, needle and fabric must
correspond for perfect workman-
ship. For the average family sew-
ing, Nos. 60 to 90 thread is used
and No. 1 needle for machine.
4. Purchase needles where sewing
machine was bought. Place the
needle in needle bar with flat side
toward wheel. Fasten needle
clamp securely with screw driver.
5. Always use the same thread in
bobbin as on top of machine. Buy
the best thread and that which
corresponds to fabric — rayon on
rayon only.
6. Replace bobbin firmly and correct-
ly.
7. Never force the sewing machine to
sew when it refuses once. Remove
the shuttle and take out any lint or
broken thread.
8. Many new electric machines are
equipped with a forward and re-
verse stitch regulator which fastens
ends securely. Reverse stitching
must be 1-16 inch from the first line
of stitching.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON
SEWING MACHINES
1. If thick fabrics draw or pucker —
tension is too tight, or stitch is too
small.
2, If upper thread breaks constantly,
look for one of these reasons: (1)
Needle not set properly; (2) Ma-
chine not threaded correctly; (3)
Upper tension too tight; (4)
Thread uneven and needle too
small; (5) A sharp needle eye,
3. If the under thread constantly
breaks, the cause may be: (1)
Bobbin case improperly threaded;
(2) Too tight tension; (8) Bobbin
tob full of thread,
4, If the needle breaks, the cause may
be! (1) The fabric has been pulled
forward instead of backward; (2)
The needle may not be raised high
enough; (3) Bulky seams, which
should be Sewn only if you use a
bar cap.

There is more black velvet around
than was shown last winter, and this
soft graceful fabric 'has been made up
into some very interesting basic dress-
es that may be dressed up or down,
at will. This black velvet dress can
easily be transformed by removing
the gay print handkerchief in favor of
a sequin studded scarf and by substi-
tuting.a dressier belt. The top is made
with the new soft shoulder line and
deep armhole. The yoke and sleeves
are cut in one piece. The skirt is
straight in back and gathered in front
with slit pockets at the hip. Worn
with it is a bright green sttede belt
and out-out circles underlaid with
black leather.

LANDLORDS MUST RENT
OR SELL EMPTY HOMES
Emergency Shelter Regulations Ex-
tended to all Canada
The Prices Board announced that
emergency shelter regulation, which
were established in seven "congested
areas" across Canada to cope with ern,-
ergency housing problenis, have been
extended to include the entire country
because the housing problem "can no
longer be localized to a few centres."
At the same time, the board an-
nounced the discontinuance of the
vacant houses in their regions are put
to use.
The announcement said that an ad-
ministrator or officer, upon learning of
a vacant house, will inquire as to why
it is held vacant and endeavor to in-
duce the landlord to rent it or sell it
for immediate occupancy.
May Force Sale, Rental
If the landlord refuses without valid
reason, he will be given an order
directing him either to sell the build-
ing to a purchaser who will occupy
it immediately or to rent it within a
limited period, If the building is not
occupied within the specified period,
it will be taken over by the board and
placed in the hands of a trust company
for rental. •
A Prices Board spokesman said it
was true that lifting 'of the permit
system would allow people previously
prevented from going to one of the
seven designated congested areas, to
go now. •
