(UP) Children's ready-made garments need to be improved, but the situation is stalemated because of a lack of understanding between American mothers and clothing manufacturers. That is the opinion of Helen A. Rocke, University of Nebraska assistant extension home economist. If the manufacturers started making better clothes for the children, she said, the mothers would pay more for them, a fair enough compromise. Mothers want clothing that wears and washes well, and that Johnny and Jane can put on and take off by themselves.

It should be comfortable and have plenty of room for action. But such clothing is not to be had, Miss Rocke reports. Sports and work clothing for adults have been improved in recent years, but the basic design for children's clothes has hard ly changed in a quarter century. Miss Rocke said. She believes it all can be blamed on a misunderstanding.
