MISCELLANEOUS
HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Table Linen.-To keep white ta-
bic linen from turning yellow,
wrap it in a fast-color blue paper.
Care of Gas Stove.-To prevent
a gas stove from rusting rub the
entire inside with a flannel cloth
which has been saturated with
sweet oil.
The Meaning of "Pint." A
pint of butter equals one pound. A
pint of currants equals 10 ounces.
A pint of cornmeal equals 10
ounces. A pint of wheat flour
equals eight ounces. A pint of
brown sugar equals 13 ounces. A
pint of seeded raisins equals nine
ounces.
Bright Silverware.-When your
silverware becomes tarnished,
place it in potato water and let it
stand one hour. Take out and
wash and it will look like new.
y
Cleaning Oven DiShes.-Marks
on freproof oven dishes can be
removed by rubbing with common
salt while the dish is still hot.
Try Vinegar.-Wipe the pantry
shelves with a cloth dipped in vim
egar. 1t gives a fresh and pleas
ant atmosphere to the larder and
repels flies.
The Singing Kettle.-When a
coal stove is used it is foolish to
allow the teakettle to be empty at
any time. One always can find
use for boiling or very hot water.
Keeping Mustard Moist.-Dry
mustard mixed with milk instead
of water will not dry out but will
keep moist until it has all been
used.
Save Dahlia Bulblets.-Make a
point of saving the little bulblets
which are found attached to the
old bulbs when digging dahlia
bulbs. 1t is a good plan to take
them off now, so that they will not
be broken off and lost. If they
are put in paper bags and these
bags SUSPENDED from the ceiling
in the cellar, they will winter safe
ly. Plant them out next season
and in a year or two they will
grow to Towering size.

Dies Committee Exposes
Methods Used by Radicals

The Dies committee record is full
of testimony about methods en-
ployed by the communists in their
devious borings and destructive
tactics. The record tells, too, of
how many innocent appearing or
ganizations, created for an allegedly
useful purpose, are captured by
communists and used by them to
obtain money contributions for
which no accounting ever is made.
And tragic, also, are the stories of
how the real leaders laughed at the
suckers who gave hard-earned mon
ey, laughed in the secret recesses of
their hideouts about the soft and
easy minds of Americans.
But another session of congress
is coming. The Dies committee will
make a report and probably will
ask an appropriation to enable it to
go on. We will see who opposes
that appropriation. There probably
will be opposition from two or three
members of the committee itself,
and we will see who they are. If
they are outspoken in their opposi-
ton, l suspect most people will
know why.
1 think this condition has reached
the point where attention should be
paid to it by the federal govern
ment. 1t is now hot on the trail of
some alleged German spies who
were seeking American military Sc
crets. So why not make a thor
ough job of it and lift up the lid
that hides various other kinds of
spies whose work, to my mind, is
much more dangerous to American
national life?

There is, of course, the danger
that lot of people will make foolish
and unsupported statements about
red activities, thus throwing doubt
on the really serious phases. That
always seems to happen. Inviting
ly, that type of person which shouts
and shouts and has no proof Gre
ates the impression that all cries of
wolf, wolf," are meaningless. But
when a congressional committee
has the ourage-rather, when its
chairman over objections of some of
its MEMBERSHIPS the courage to
bring the stuff out for public exam
lnation, there must, indeed, be a
basis for it.
The tragedy of the thing is that
the labor movement as whole will
suffer severe setback. The fact
that the radicals have grabbed con-
troll of the automobile workers un-
ion means that they have "cells"
in other groups also, and that these
cells slowly but surely will be
spreading poison and trouble. The
agitators seize upon the unthinking,
the foreign-born who are not stepped
in our customs or love of country,
or upon elements that have been
badly treated, and they will use
these innocent victims to carry out
their destructive plans.

Charge Communists Active
In Government Offices

What am wondering is why Mr..
Dies has not sent his investigators
into the very Offices of the federal
government, itself Or, if he has
done that, as it is gossiped about,
then why shield anybody? Why not
turn the spotlight of publicity on the
individuals who want to destroy the
American system, the American
form of government, American ira
dition, the American profit system Of
doing business? There has been
much talk in the last several years
about the operations Of communists
within the very walls Of the govern
ment, men and women who are bor-
ing from within as termites destroy
lumber, and we ought to know the
truth. If they are within the govern
ment, they ought to be exposed and
chased out of the western hemiS-
phere; if they are not operating as
is gossiped around, then their names
ought to be cleared. In any event,
hope the Dies committee goes on
and shows the cancerous nature of
groups that do not believe in our
system, whether they be Russians,
or Germans, or Italians, or British
or what have you.
1t has been the favorite device of
the radicals and their henchmen to
characterize any official who at
tacks them as being subject for
the insane hospitals. Their game
has been to laugh people out OF
court whenever an effort was made
to tell of some of the things the
Agitators were doing. Many will re-
call an investigation by a house
committee several years ago where
the witnesses were laughed down
and courageous superintendent of
schools from Gary, Ind, was made
to look foolish because of the
charges he made. Well, if my opin-
ion be worth anything, the folks
who were the suckers in that play
were the supposedly intelligent
members of congress who made up
the committee. 1t was they who
fell for a trick of propaganda. Eli
ther that was the case, or the mem
bers of that committee were just

 GIan1Or GiYl-Guide WedS Don Juan of North Woods

Ely, Minn., Dec. IA Cupid ill buckskin blows the deep snows Of northern Minnesota for the blond and beauteous Marie Sarkipato and the blond and handsome Roland Ericsson are busy these days fur- nishing a log cabin in the timber land few miles from the Canadian border.
 Currier and Ives prints hang on the wall beside magnificent but terf1y collection. Authentic bits ot Americans from the shops of Park avenue as well as the trails Of Canada make the home sur prisingly magnificent retreat here in the heart of this hunters par adise.
 Marie, the only girl guide in the north woods and Ericson were married several weeks ago in the cabin of her father near here. Their story is as delightful a tale as ever unfolded before a Kleig light.
 Ericson is graduate of the University of. Minnesota, and a onetime Chicago hotel executive. Five years ago he threw up his job, packed his clothes and turned to the silent beauty of the north to make his career. He became guide and today is widely re- spected as the best in the area.
 Marie comes of rugged Finnish stock. She was swimming when she was years old, padding a canoe at 8. and at 15 had won the 5O-yard and 100-yard breast stroke competitions in high school. She played 'Run-sheep-run' over the trails and three years ago took her first job as guide.
 Today she totes a mans pack over the portages, and guides parties of girls on trips deep into the woods. Those three years have been most eventful for her. With the money she made as guide she went to Junior College here - studying interior decorating.
 Wealthy sportsmen whom she guided to good game country paid her well and her money went to buy the lovely articles that now adorn her cabin.
 Real danger caught her once and her husband headed the party that found her safe and sound. She was on Lake Shagawa alone in a canoe when freak blizzard blew up. She made for an island she knew. pulled her canoe over her head and spent the night. A posse headed by Ericson found her early next morning.
 Honeymooning for the couple was something of a busman's hol- iday They took a trip through the Ontario Park region of Can- ada.
 Now they are home again and everyone in these parts rejoices in the marriage of the 1.-two best guides in the country.

OFFICIALS OBTAIN
 EXHIBIT DATA
Connecticut to Have His= tOricaI Review at New
 York Worlds Fair

Connecticut officials are busy as- sembling data to be correlated for the visualiZation of the state through the medium of an exhibit at the New York Worlds Fair in 1889, according to the state publicity commission.
 Chairman Willard B. Rogers of the Connecticut commission on the New York Worlds Fair has had all departmental heads and commis- sioners together in conference on the matter of representing state agen- cies at the fair.
 Out of this, the state officials gleaned ideas and suggestions for the proper presentation of material and by the first of January ten tative scheme will have been assem- bled under thc supervision of V. Roxor Short, exhibit director of the Peabody Museum at Yale university, who has been engaged to build the Connecticut Worlds Fair display.
 Framework
 The preliminary framework of- fered to the state officials by MT. Short included theme which shows the development of Connecticut in 'all its natural resources, plan of living, industrial facilities, fine roads, excellent transportation and general hospitality with the ever present thought of selling Connec- ticut to the millions attending the Fair on the idea that of all New England, this state is the finest place to visit, live in or locate for industrial purposes"
 To carry out this suggestion, it is planned to have one wall of the Connecticut exhibit space decorated with huge illumined may that will show all important historical sites, cities, highways and points of in- terest that will be developed in the remainder of the exhibit.
 It will be the map that forms the key to the theme and acts as a means of graphically showing the interests of the exhibit in one frame.
 Immediately adjacent to this sec- tion will be an area housing dior anna of the Connecticut valley 140,O00000 years ago and showing the dinosaurs of that period which lived in the valley.
 Decorative Piece
 Following this, the entire length of the remaining wall space will be devoted to progress with terrace from front to rear developing hous- ing, transportation and general con- ditionS to the end of depicting the Connecticut of tomorrow. This will include models of houses, wagons, trains, roads and figures. A mural or other suitable decorative piece will be in the background rising to 20 feet high.
 Opposite the wall space progress display, diorama and map will be an area designed and executed to present industries, public health, ag- riculture and other functions of var iOus state agencies. It will be adapted to the entire theme and correlate color and decorations.
