This leaves a border trim that requires no seaming or mitering of corners. For the center appliqued motif, trace dog outline from child's coloring book. Transfer tracing to the 18" by 28" gingham piece cut from center of border. Baste the piece to center of white broadcloth.

Applique dog by stitching around outline, using zigzag attachment or sewing machine. Cut away excess fabric as close to stitching as possible. Next, place the filler between gingham and broadcloth, and pin. Baste firmly In rows three to four inches apart from gingham side. (Don't let large basting stitches appear on right side).

Fold fabric on true bias and press a line. Fold on bias again, this time in opposite direction, and press again. Use quilting foot attachment on sewing machine and stitch parallel lines in one direction until complete. Next start at opposite fold line and stitch in the same manner to complete the diamond-shaped quilt pattern. Now, you're ready to add thei NEW YORK, March 11 Lower construction costs, essential to meet the huge demand for highways and roads, can be attained only by a completely new concept in highway building.

Construction Methods and Equipment, McGraw-Hill publication, asserts. This new concept must cover techniques, processes and equipment and possibly an entirely different use of present materials, the pubUcation says. The goal should be continuous operation in the paving process. To replace the present system by which concrete is mixed in batches end the continuity of the process interrupted each time a new batch must be prepared, the magazine suggests continuous mixing right at the forms with materials supplied by a ftect of light trucks (instead of the heavy ones used to supply the batch paver machines) or a belt conveyor. Another suggestion is lor belt or truck dump body delivery ol concrete mixed in ihe portable high capacity plants that can be Knocked down, moved and erected a few nours, even minutes.

Investigation of the use of present and pr "stressed concrete also should be made. Asphalt road building offers probably even more opportunities for improved te6hniques and faster construction.

Of equal importance is the necessity for highway engineering to keep up with construction improvements, the publication adds, and in this connection It will be necessary to overcome the reluctance of some engineers to employ present advancements in technique and equipment. For 1934, estimates point to an expenditure of nearly $3.5 billion for highways, an increase of ten per cent over 1953.

This is encouraging, reflecting increased public consciousness of the need. Superhighway and turnpike programs promise a high level of construction for many years to come. However, the magazine emphasizes, it is the thousands of miles of unspectacular streets and roads built and improved every year that make up the bulk of the highway construction market.

Swift Senate fContinued from Page 1) said privately they may offer an amendment to accomplish this when the excise bill gets to the floor. They said also that they may seek to cut more excises, such as those on television and radio sets. President Eisenhower anounced yesterday that he would make a nationwide telecast and broadcast next Monday to tell the country about the administration's position on taxes. No time was announced. This was interpreted at the Capitol as an effort to head otf any increase in personal income tax exemptions rather than to block the cuts in the 25 excises.

The first major test on the income tax exemptions is expected to come next Thursday in the House. There the Democrats plan to try to revise the tax revision measure to boost exemptions to $700, which would reduce revenue about $2,400,000,000 a year. House Democratic I-eader Ray-burn of Texas predicted after a caucus of his party's House members today that Democrats will win a showdown battle next week to increase individual income tax exemptions by $100. Rayburn. former House speaker, told reporters he didn't know of a single Democrat who would not support the move.

Such action would slash income taxes by about $2,400,000,000 a year. House Speaker Martin (R-Mass) conceded that if Democrats remain solid on the issue, they probably can win in the House. But Martin predicted some Democrats will break ranks and join the Eisenhower administration, which is staging a tooth-and-toe-nail fighj against the proposition. Program Announced For One-Day School On Irrigation Program plans have been com pleted for a one-day irrigation school March 23 at City Hall. The meeting, starting at 9:30 a.m., is intended to give farmers latest information on irrigation and is expected to hold keen interest because of severe droughts the past two years and the fact that numerous West Tennessee farmers are turning to Irrigation.

Carrier Corporation authority on residential air conditioning, says a family can enjoy year-round comfort If the home is designed "for the weather." Mount addressed architects, building material dealers and realtors at a dinner session at Brown- stone Grill here last night sponsored by the S.

M. Lawrence Company of Jackson. "A family can enjoy the year-round comfort of an air conditioned house for aUnost the same money they would pay for a conventional house, Mount said. "By designing his house around air conditioning, the architect or builder can save money on construction cost and give the buyer more house for the same cost. "Furthermore, it is not necessary to redesign the plans that currently have sales appeal, just simple modifications will do the trick." "Construction changes Mount suggested were elimination of porches, screens, breezeways, attic fans and substituting the use of fixed and solid wall construction." He also pointed out that cleaning and redecorating costs would be small because dust and dirt are kept out of an air conditioned home.

S. M. Lawrence, of the S. M. Lawrence Company, Carrier distributor for Jackson, quoted Cloud Wampler, president of Carrier Corporation as saying that within five years or less, one out of every two new homes in America will be completely air conditioned.

Main theme of the meeting Illustrated how residential air conditioning can stimulate the market for small homes and what this means to the building industry and related fields in search of a factor to stimulate the market for new homes. IP r. xs 5 J1 v- Bentley Undergoes Surgery Again WASHINGTON. March 11 WW Rep. Alvin M.

Bentley R-Mich), seriously wounded when Puerto Rican fanatics shot up the House March 1, underwent surgery again last night. The emergency operation was to close a wound in the abdominal wall that had come apart, the congressman's aide, Elwood Brake, said today. Brake quoted Dr. Joseph Casualty Hospital chief of staff, as saying that Bentley's condition suffered a "slight setback" as a result of the operation. Bentley, 35.

has beeq in a serious condition since the shooting. His liver was shattered by a bullet which also pierced a lung and his stomach. Senator Gets (Continued from Pag 1) garded the networks decision as a fair arrangement. He said he heartily concurred in selection of Nixon. High GOP sources earlier had said the President hand picked Nixon.

Eisenhower also said, in commenting on Flanders' Senate criticism of McCarthy, that there is danger in "magnifying certain items of procedure and right and personal aggrandizement to the point where we are endanger-in? the program of action that all the leadership is agreed upon The White House granted permission to quote the President directly. News conference remarks normally may not be so quoted. Sen. Ferguson of Michigan, chairman of "the Senate GOP Policy Committee, said in an interview today he interpreted the President's words as indicating concern that his legislative program might be lost sight of In wrangling over McCarthy and his controversial investigations. Ferguson said that without disparaging McCarthy's activities, he and other leaders feel the Eisenhower program will be the "big issue" of this year's campaign for control of Congress.

"The leadership is trying to keep the big issues before the people, the issues that affect their welfare and livelihood." Ferguson said. Similarly, Sen. Knowland of California, the GOP floor leader, said last night he fears that continued controversy over McCarthy within the party "would be dangerous to our legislative program." He added, in an NBC radio interview, that 'I would certainly hope this tuning discussion will not be continued on the floor." Asked to comment on Eisenhower's handling of the McCarthy furor, Knowland said: "There is no power in the presidency under which a President ean purge a senator. The President understands that. In past administrations that was tried without notable success." Ferguson said he regards the communism-in-government issue, which McCarthy has stressed, as "largely a problem of the past," and he added: "UnUke the Democrats who had a vested interest in retaining suspected employes because it would be embarrassing to fire them after so long a time, the men in government now have no political reason not to clean them out and they are doing that." McCarthy, perhaps taking the line he may employ in any reply he makes tonight to Flanders, told newsmen: "There's a tremendous, concerted effort to cut down the investigation of Communists.

A very few Republicans are joining in It. It's so easy for a Republican to be a hero in the eyes of the left wing press by interfering In the investigation of communism I'm happy they are so few." Asked to list the "few Republicans" he had in mind, McCarthy grinned and said "no comment." He described Flanders as 'one of the finest old gentlemen I know." McCarthy and Eisenhower met last night at a dinner honoring Senate Republican leaders and Sen. Bridges (R-NH) reported, shook hands "in a friendly fashion." Other senators who attended said the two greeted one another cordially. RIGHT SENTIMENT, WRONG TECHNIQUE CHARLESTON. W.

AU but one of those killed were sleeping on the second floor, and all who escaped were on the ground floor. Mrs. Bessie Carmen Kovacs, 43, who was sleeping on the first floor, ran outside when the flames awakened her and then ran back inside to help those trapped on the second floor.

She died in the flames with them. The others killed were her three sons, Donald 23; Carl 19; Frank V. 18; Donald's Wife, Elizabeth, 26, and her two children by a former marriage, Michael Quackenbush, 2, and Jeanette Quackenbush, 5. Survivors are Frank V. Kovacs.

More than 52 tear gas shells were fired into the dayroom, which measures 30 by 100 feet. Firemen poured water in through broken windows and through ports inside the building. Chief Patrick Tuohy of the sheriff's police finally yelled to the rioters: "All right, any of you that want to come out, walk out backward one at a time." Tuohy said after a long pause one of the prisoners shouted: "All right, we give up. We're coming out." Earlier the prisoners had cursed and shouted at guards and police who had attempted to persuade them to return to their cells. And each time the officers attempted to storm the door of the dayroom they were met with a barrage of debris and sharp Jagged pieces of porcelain broken from toilet fixtures.

The prelude to the riot occurred when guards discovered a 2Va by 5-foot panel removed from the ceiling of one prisoner's cell. The 28 inmates in tier G3 were searched and ordered to their cells. Only seven complied. Two othen, at their own request, were removed to other tiers. The remaining 19 barricaded themselves in the dayroom and refused to come out unless they were guaranteed no punishment and would not be blamed for an attempted jail break.
