DEAR MISS NOVEL;:

have hunted the town over for
just the right shade of light green
material for bedspread and cur
tains in my guest room. I know
just the color I want but 1t seems
impossible to find it. I thought
of dyeing the old white ones which
I have been using, but I cannot
find the right color on the dye
chart either. Is it possible to mix
the dye powders to get a different
color? How would I do this?
MRS. G. K. J.
Answer: Do not mix the powder,
but buy package each of green and
yellow dye and mix them with water
according to the directions. I would
suggest you use pint of water
with each package to start. Weigh
your materials and put the neces-
sary amount of clear water in your
container. Turn into this the yel-
low dye and add the green a table
spoonful at time until you get
the right color. Be sure to test it
on q piece of the fabric you are
planning to dye, and be sure to
dry it to see the correct color be-
fore you do the whole thing. Cot
ton Is the easiest of all fabrics to
dye and I feel quite sure you will
get good results with this.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
The porch of our summer camp is
wide and runs around three sides
of the house. 1t has not been
painted for years and the boards
are dry and sun and wind baked.
We have decided to paint it this
spring, but feel that it will take
gallons of paint. Is there any sub
stance We can use to prime the floor
first so that it will not use UP so
much paint?
F. S. A.
Answer:
I would suggest that you talk the
situation over with your paint
dealer and have him mix you up q
quantity of filler and sealer that
will help out on the paint cost. 1t
will carry q large proportion of
heavy oil and some filler that will
make only one application necessary.
If you could arrange to spray this
on, it would save you a great deal
of time and I think the penetration
is better. Then invest in a good
floor and deck paint that will with
stand the wear and tear as well as
the sun and rain OF camp, and
you will find that you have pro-
longed the life of the porch floor
for another 10 years. You may
rent a paint sprayer and you will
find it well worth the rental charge
from the standpoint of the work
involved as well as giving you a
good, even job.

that it is permanent glaze" Others

TRAGIC DEATH OF

 Mysteriously
BY HAROLD PETERS

(Umlte0 Press Stan COrreSpOHueusJ
 Budapest, April 3 -(UP)- The Hungarian government resigned to- day Q few hours after the death in tragic circumstances" of Premier Paul Teleki, second top-ranking Hungarian statesman to die of a mysterious ailment within nine weeks.
 There was no confirmation of re- ports that Teleki had received Ger man demands few hours. before his death but it was stated with possible significance that his death was connected with the interna- tional political situation" There was no explanation as to meaning of this phrase.
 Teleki's death followed closely that of Count Stephen Czaly. Hun gary's foreign minister and his closest collaboratory. Czaky con- tracted what was officially described as food poisoning" last Dec. IS while en route back to Budapest from Belgrade on @ diplomatic mission.
 Czaky never recovered from that Illness. He died Jan. 26. Heart Disease Reported
 This morning the sudden death during the night of Teleki was re- ported. It was said officially that he died of heart disease, and 1t was denied that Teleki's wife, long i'll of Q lung infection. also had died.
 Hungarian quarters in London heard that Teleki's sudden death followed receipt of German de- mands that he turn over control of Hungary to the Nazis prepara- tory to 6 German attack upon Jugoslavia. The suggestion was that Teleki's death might not have been due to natural causes).
 Minister of Interior Francis Ker- esxtes-F Fischer was named interim (Conklnued on Pare ~

Dispatches from Budapest last December reported that headquart- CTS for a German army corps had been established at Timisoara which is only 27 miles from the Jugoslav frontier and about 60 miles. from Belgrade. Tinisoara is in the Ru. manian Barat area which adjoints the flat rolling Croat area of Jugo- slavia which is largely without nat ural defenses and is believed by mu- itary experts to be subject to easy invasion if the Germans move in.)
 According to these eyewitness ac. counts the German forces in this area are fully equipped and are awaiting orders to move against Jugoslavia.
 No Hour For Order
 The reports gave no indication as to when the order to advance might be given, suggesting that 1t probably depends upon diplomatic developments now in progress.
 The German forces in the Banat area are said to constitute, for the most part, the expeditionary force which Germany sent there late last fall.
 All branches of the Nazi armed forces are represented and their garrisons were said to dot the Banat
