 Rum bumbling' is the war counterpart of WPA fboondoggling.' It's the American equivalent of British 'muddling.'
 Here's how it came about: MT. Vorys was in the Navy in World War I. He has an affection for that branch of our armed forces and perhaps for that very reason, he watches it with a critical eye.
 When the Navy came out the other day with yoluminous press release about favorite recipes of Navy wives, MT. Varys took it to task for concerning itself with such trivia in wartime. He noted that the first recipe on the list was Rum Rumble" a pudding and, am assured, a delicious one.

HAVE YOU eaten all the early

No ground should 60 to waste

il possibly can-and this means
succession cropping: planting one
vegetable where another grew
before.
If you prepared your ground
thoroughly In the spring and
added manure or fertilizer. you
won't need TO add any more TO
produce the second crop-but If
you did a quick and snappy but
none too thorough a job in the
spring you'll have to remedy IT
now and add a complete ferti-
lizer TO the empty spots. work

of soil. Do this several days be-
fore yop plant and all will be

Milk Of Magnesia Pack
Recommended to Refine Skin
BY DONNA GRACE

WHEN LONG sleeves cover
the shoulders and arms we may
assume it covers beautiful. white,
smooth skin. and our assumption
is correct in most instances.
Every. girl can have pretty
shouid6e0rqHd arms IL she will
take time TO keep them properly
groomed.
The face is most important
when arms are covered but the
uncovering will be pleasing if
elbows, arms, back and shoul-
ders are given regular beauty
care.
Bath Brush
A bath brush should be used
for every thorough soap and
water Tubing. Since skin on
arms and elbows is more hardy
than the face, we need not hest
tate to scrub. Plenty of creamy
soap lather with warm water
will assure clean surface.
Besides the cleansing, rough,
dry surfaces are removed and
there will be no callouses even
though these pretty elbows have
leaned on the desk throughout
the school year.
Nice Pack
Beauty salons have special
treatments TO restore arm
beauty. One of the favorites is
a milk of magnesia pack. This
is easily applied but the first
step is soap and water cleansing.
A liquid soap is used il there is
any indication OF callouses or
skin discoloration.
Liquid green soap is the most
effective and after softening and
cleansing, all soap is removed
with clear water. When dried,
a cleansing cream is applied
quickly and after light rubbing,
it is removed with tissues.

spread over the arm and left on
for five minutes. A mixture of
magnesia may be preferred for
a thicker paste. This Is a mix
ture ora tablespoon of magnesia
powder and enough of the milk
of rnagnesia to make a paste.
The magnesia Is removed with
warm water and again a cream
is applied. This should be q
massage cream.
To Remove CsIIousss
Elbows that have become cal
loused are soaked with liquid
soap. IT should be gently rubbed
into dry spots and then removed.
Always rinse well after all soaps.
A bleach of powdered mag
nesia and peroxide mixed to a
thin paste will help to whiten
skin and remove dull-looking
surfaces. Do not use any bleach
right after soap has been used.
The reason for this is that the
soap is always drastic in open
ing pores and when other In
gradients are applied. there may
be some slight irritation. Wait
until next day for the bleach.
Follow all such treatments
with an application Of either a
cleansing cream or massage
cream.
Lotions and packs used for thu
face may also be used for arms
and shoulders. Keep arm and
elbow muscles supple. Exercise
will do this. There is no beauty
in stiff arms.

But now comes Judge Foley

Careless, incompetent and indif-

Nothing Else But
Mind you, the wise judge
doesn't say these parents are
bad. He doesn't claim that they
abuse their children, starve or
beat them. He doesn't cite them
as disturbers of the peace.
But the simple fact is. they
are that, and nothing else but.

Dig Soil We'll

It is good garden practice to
plant root crops where leaf crops
grew before, and vice versa.
However, If you can't do this.
be sure TO dig the soil we'll and
do add fertilizer, even if you put
in some in the spring.
1t is still possible 10 get plants
of late cabbage and this makes
a good fall crop. even If the
heads haven't time TO get so
large. BeetS and carrots make
good succession crops, so do
parsnips because they can be left
in the ground all winter. Turnips
are another good late crop
Lettuce may be planted later
for a fall crop but il likes cool
weather and will not grow in
summer heat.
Cover Crop
If you plant all you wish in
the spaces left by early crops
maturing and still have room,
don't let it lay to be taken over
by the weeds. Do your soil some
good for another year and plant
a cover crop. Rye will do nicely
so will any of the clovers you
can get the easiest.
Sow the seed thickly and buy
enough so you can plant more
as other parts of the garden be-
come vacant. Let the plants
grow and remain in the ground
all winter. This will keep weeds
out and will also prevent the
soil from washing during the
fall rains since the roots of the
cover crop will hold n In place.

Ideal Costume
ForFurIough
Wedding
BY JOAN DEAN

WE'RE STARTING out the
week with a housekeeping of
correspondence. Most Of the
queries lately have concerned
vacation worries -. what and
how much to take for one week,
two weeks and even a month.
The best generalization that
applies to all the different cases
is this: Stick to one color
scheme, as much as possible.
Means carrying less hats, shoes.
and the other accessories that
hog the space in your luggage.
A PLAINTIVE plea comes
from a July bride, who says not
only she IL out of fashion. but
the stores as well not a
marrying dress could she find.
Her wedding will be a furlough
type, definitely informal and
spontaneous.
But the June brides snatched
I'D most of the pastel suit
dresses, according to her story.
However, we found the dress TO
rescue her from dilemma. It's
right up there in the photograph.
AS NOTED, this lovely crepe
affair comes in all the bridey
colors. The jacket is collarless,
and thus may be worn over
other summer dresses. And the
shirtwaist dress underneath will
get a workout long after the
wedding.
Incidentally. this outfit serves
the purpose for travellers and
stay-at-homes. whose minds are
far from honeymoon dreams.
It's suitable for the round OF
summer events, because II hits
the halfway mark between the
tailored and dressy.
MRS. VI. Is. asks what she
can do 10 renovate a basic
white dress that has already
had its turn at gold and red
accessories. The solution might
be one OF those swashbuckling
sashbelts Of tri-striped grograih
-. in red, green. blue and four
inches wide.
Or keep II all-white. belt,
buttons and hat. But shod
your feet in some gay-as-gay-
Gamble shoes of bright red or
green or yellow. IT'S new idea
in fashion and, according 10
fasteners. a good one.

close-range fight fought under
cover of darkness when planes were
useless. There were losses on both
sides-but the Japanese fleet fled

The American attack on the Jap

of Aug. 8-9-36 hours after the Ma

tillery and plentiful supplies stream
ing to them through protecting
lane of American and Allied war
ships, under an umbrella OF Un-
tied States navy planes.
Though details of the opening OF
the attack we're still sparse. 1t was
indicated that the battle may have
opened with a sha stering naval
bombardment in which bomber, rive
bomber and fighter planes joined
as the marines went ashore in new,
especially built assault craft and al
most unsuitable rubber boats. TAX
ing with them amphibian tractors:
baby tanks and small field guns as
well as trench mortars, machine
guns and light anti-aircraft guns.
PRISONERS TAKEN
Announcement that the marines
had taken prisoners in the opening
act of their attack was believed to
mean that so great was the surprise
# the Japanese that many of them
we're overwhelmed before they could
get in action.
Dispatches from Adm. Ghormley's
headquarters and from Pearl Har-
Dor, headquarters of Adm. Chester
w. Nimitz, commander in chief of
he Pacific fleet, continued to en-
phasize that big losses must be ex-
pected in such battle and that
the Japanese navy was unlikely to
concede the United States a defi-
mite victory in the Solomons without
a long and stubborn fight.
But to date there was no indica-
ton that the navys losses had
been even as great as the United
States command had envisaged. On
the contrary, it seemed likely that
the final communique would show
hat losses had been below expec-
tation.
Australian interest in the great
battle intensified because with each
new indication that the United
States was winning in the first big
Allied offensive in the war there
was increasing belief that Japan
would, must in fact. attack else
where if it could not rewin the Tu-
