Never soak pickles longer than
"a hours in a salt solution. The
usual proportions for such solu-
ton are a pound of salt to each
gallon of water. If the solution is
too salty, the pickles will tend to
soften; if pickles stay in the solu-
ton too long, they may shrivel.

Tribute to Work of
Theater Project

A tribute to the work of the now
discontinued Federal Theater prof.
ect was paid by Mrs. Florence Kerr,
assistant director of the Work
Projects Administration, in an ad-
dress yesterday before the District
League Of American Pen Women
at a tea at the Grafton Hotel.
"The work of the project now
ended will not die" said Mrs. Kerr,
"but the good achieved will live on.
One outstanding success was the
reduction in legitimate theater
prices which were substantially low
cred and the way was paved for the
necessary eventual establishment of
q national theater."
Mrs. Kerr, whose talk was an in
depreciation of the work of the
cultural projects of the w. P. A.,
also spoke of the work being done
BY the writing and record divisions.
Guides for "a States have been
completed. she said, while guides
Tor the other States will soon be
ready for publication. State ency-
clopedias as fact books for schools
and colleges are now being consid-
cred as a new project of the ad-
ministration, Mrs. Kerr said.
Mrs. Kerr also discussed the
handicraft projects of the w. P. A.,
declaring: Potentially we have ali
the skill and all the labor we need
IN this country for production of
all sorts of handicraft articles. We
don't need Germany, we don't need
Italy and we don't need japan to
produce them for u.s."
Explaining the topic of her ad-
dress, THE Renaissance Is Here, ="
Mrs. Kerr expressed the opinion
that more and more individuals in
this country are becoming active
participants in some form of cul-
tural expression.
Mrs. William Walter Smith was
hostess at the tea. assisted by Mrs.
Tomas Cajigas and DR.. Mary Meek
Atkeson Moore.
Guests of honor were DR.. Hugh
Grant, recent United States Minis

"A history professor and a supervis-
or from President Roosevelt's home
town sought last night to have Con-
gress reconsider its stand against
creation of Government library at
nearby Hyde Park to house the
Presidents papers.
Both Prof. James F. Baldwin of
Vassar College and Supervisor Elmer
j. Vanwagner of the town of Hyde
Park said they would write Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish, Republican,
of New York and ask him to change
his stand against the project
Almost unanimous opposition by
House Republicans blocked passage
of the proposal Monday. They con-
tended such material should be pre-
served in Washington, if anywhere,
along with other Government rec
ords.
THE tendency both here and
abroad" Mr.. Baldwin said, has been
toward decentralization of Govern
ment records"
Mr.. Vanwagner accused Fish, who
represents the Presidents district.
Of playing politics" and said his
opposition was 'in line with his op-
position to anything President

Pilot Train Loses
Thrilling Race 10
0vertake Special
Newsmen Eight Minutes
Too Late for Reception
AT Union Stution

Although King George and Queen
Elizabeth probably didn't know it,
they were participating in a thrill
ing railroad race today from Will
Transport, Pa, to Washington-a
race that ended in disappointment
for the pilot train passengers.
Their blue-and-silver streamlined
Royal Special thundered over the
tracks into the Union Station just
ahead of the pilot train, which was
supposed to beat it to town by an
hour.
But the pilot train was halted at
Williamsport, ZIG miles away. when
one of its sleepers developed a hot
box.
Tense anxiety gripped the passen-
gers-Scores of British correspond
ents who had crossed the Atlantic
to see President Roosevelt welcome
their monarchs in historic greeting
at Union Station.
Eight Minutes Late.
Would the piolt train get to Wash
ington on time?
In the end, it was eight minutes
too late.
The railroad officials were deter
mined to make it. But in removing
the sleeper and the effects OF the
passengers on it, the pilot train got
one hour and 20 minutes behind the
Royal Special, which clicked along
unaware of the difficulty.
When the train at last left Will
Transport in hot pursuit, the engi-
neer opened wide the throttle.
Minute by minute was clipped of
the loss. Record time was made In
switching on the dining car at Har-
risburg. Pa. Coming into Baltimore
the train crew were confident that
they had made up at least an hour
and were not much more than 20
minutes behind, with more than 40
miles In which to make it up.
