The cause of checking is

The changes cause the wood 10

Mr.. Ffxit: Il there any way
person can keep the robins away
from his Strawberries . I've
heard Of several hut none Of
them kept the birds away. I'D
appreciate any suggestions.

We have heard everything
from orthodox scare crows to
rows Of white rags strung on
wires across the berry patch
recommended but have not heard
OF any complete successes. Mr..
Fixit also would appreciate any
suggestions.
Mr.. Fixit: Can n non-citizen
obtain his papers II he was ON
relief Does the Judge here in
Tacoma ask them 10 pay that
back II that n law or do they
take that on their own shout
ders. How about the alien that
breaks the law, for instance, n
bootlegger: Would the lady
print her name and address In
the column that spoke about the
gray hair and signed her name
"Alice"? MRS. III. W. *.
Under most circumstances
aliens are expected to pay back
any public assistance they have
received before citizenship is
granted To them. That is the

is function of the courts.
As to Alice B." who wrote
about the very versatile hair
remedy. We regret we've mis-
placed her address. II she will
phone Mr.. Fixit or send him the
address again. he will be glad to
send II on to the many readers
who have requested IL.
Mr.. Fixit: noticed an inquiry
from r.. II. asking how TO cure
salmon eggs 10 they will stay
cured. Here II the way that l
have cured them and they have
been as sweet nj the end Of two
years rs when packed. Take n
pint or quart glass fruit jar.
Fill IL not quite up 10 the collar.
Don't pack the eggs too tightly
hut leave holes between pieces
No the liquid can penetrate ali
through them. Separate the eggs
or leave them In small chunks
as required for use. Then fill
the jar full up with good gly-
cerine 50 the eggs will be well
covered.
Let them stand n long as pos
sible and when wanted for use
spread them out ON smooth
board and sprinkle lightly with
brown sugar. Let them remain
there u few minutes In the sun
shine. not too long, or they will
harden 10 much NJ 20 split when
put on the hook. Practice VIII
teach one how long. One can
take out rs many A. needed
and then close the jar again.
The eggs will keep indefinitely,
II well covered with glycerine.

We thank you in the interests
of all bait fishermen.
Mr.. Fixit: In no-trump Of five
hundred must player follow
suit or can he use the joker at
any time. I can find no informs-
ton In the hook Of Hoyle con-
corning this. We rarely play but
that someone differs.
MRS. X. ID.
II is our understanding that
two opposed schools Of Thought
are involved there, one insisting
that the Joker be played only
when the suit has run out ana
the other allowing II to be played
at any time. Perhaps some 500
expert has a suggestion E?
Mr.. Fixit: VIII YOU kindly an
sMer these 20 settle an argu-
ment. Can two sons In fam
ily a four persons be In the
CCC when the father h also
working ON the WPAs And how
n Il that . woman with three
grown. seif-supporting children.
one with = very good position In
another state, can hold nm SIS or
more Job ON WPA: We always
understood that II Was only
those who really needed work
that were put ON. What do YOU
think OF it, \. H.
II would be possible for two
bows from a WPA family 10 get
in the CcC. though an effort Il
made 10 spread the openings
where the need is greater. Some
times IL can happen that one
brother is enrolled through the
welfare department and another
through the army or department
of labor. Two might get IN also
where the cCC quota was fairly
large and not enough boys with
greater need were available.
II YOU know Of some one on
the WPA project roll who has
other means Of support, you
should notify wPA's sdn,inistrs-
tive office or the county welfare
department so the ineligible one
can be replaced with some more
needy person
