Washday Cheer

The reason some women think
they dislike washday. says an ex-
pert. is because they do the wash in
q dingy, unattractive corner In q
dark and unattractive basement.
It isn't the wash they dislike, but
the dreary place in which it is
done. Clean up the laundry room
says this expert, make 1t cheerful
and washday Will be a day to an.
ticipate. Spotless tubs and tables
handy shelves for supplies. white
washed walls. bright, neat curtains
and plenty Of light, can transform
q dungeon into a pleasant, dainty
room. It's . good thing, too, to add
some attractive, brightly colored
pictures to the walls. Make the
laundry room attractive, and wash
day will be . lot easier.

the spring. The low point was
reached in November and since then
dealers have seen an improvement
In the egg situation. The number
of hens on farms is said to be
larger than last year and q record
egg crop is expected. This should
offset, in some measure, the pur-
chases of eggs by the Government
for the food-for-def program.
While rice is slightly lower in
supply than in recent years, there
should be enough to meet average
requirements. Dried beans, on the
other hand, are heavier than usual,
and although Government pur-
chases will take care of a good
deal Of the supply, there should be
ample left for domestic consump-
tion-but at somewhat higher prices
than heretofore.
Pork loins, spare ribs, some cuts
of beef, including those for pot
roasts and stews, and less expen-
sive cuts Of lamb seem to be good
buys for the week end. Plenty Of
frying and baking chickens are on
hand. Now is good time to revive
that summertime favorite-fried
chicken with cream gravy and lus-
cious corn meal pancakes for Sum-
day dinner. Or choose a plump
baker" and serve it with sauce
Of melted guava jelly, butter and
red wine. Nice fat rabbits are
about, too, and a few ducks are
available. These, however, are so
well iced that they have lost much
Of their plumpness and flavor.
And how about fried apple rings
and country sausage for supper
Sunday night, with a crisp green
salad, cheeses and fruit and piping
hot coffee? Just watch the gang

of the East Coast pack is finding
its way into local markets.
Much of the canned crab that we
used to term Japanese" really came
from Russian waters, where 1t was
fished by licensed japanese packers.
Recently, however, the Russians
took over the fishing grounds for
themselves, and are packing and
shipping the crab meat on their own.
So-you won't have to forego your
crab-flake salad on the grounds OF
being unpatriotic! Sardines remain
plentiful-that is, there is a good
supply from California and Portugal
on hand, although of course the
French and Norwegian packs have
long since disappeared from our
shelves.
AS present stocks of canned pine
apple and pineapple juice dwindle,
we shall probably find requirements
next to impossible to obtain for a
while, as the pack comes almost en-
tirely from fruit grown and canned
In Hawaii. AS far as fresh pine
apples 60, we are now receiving ex-
cellent shipments from the West
Indies. In general. produce items
from California have risen a little
In price. probably due to the fact
that such a large number Of truck
gardens on that coast were manned
by japanese labor. However, the
increase is not very appreciable as
yet, and you will find the fruit and
vegetable picture about the same as
It usually is at this time Of year.
News items along these lines this
week include hothouse rhubarb-
so much pinker and sweeter than
the regular variety-turnip greens

especially good endive from New
York State-at a price, I must say!
and the small, mahogany-colored

in arriving this year-but some

Eat fish and more fish" is an in
creasingly loud slogan in the drive
for better nutrition in America. This
department has always stressed the
need for more fish in our diets. and
pointed out how fortunate we Wash
ingtonians are in having such a
wealth Of fresh, low-priced fish at
our doorstep.
The usual plant about fish is that
the preparation Of 1t is 50 apt to
become monotonous. Fried, boiled
and baked-these are the routine
procedures. But the clever cook can
vary all three themes-and this
oyster casserole which we are offering
you today is sure to prove the point.

and watch the family sit up and take

How Dinner
Plates Are
Exchanged
Maneuvering
Very Simple
To Learn
By Emily Post.

The maneuver Of the exchange
plate by the waitress for the host
who is carving Is . perfectly simple
thing to do, but I acknowledge that
I have been trying for the last IS
minutes to smooth out the awk-
wardness Of its description. How
ever, I hope this Is clear:
To begin. let US say that service
plates (cold ones) are in front Of
eight people at table. ct may be
that the roast which the host is
about to carve is the first course
or that the soup plates have been
removed, leaving the untouched
service plates as they were, be-
meath. In any case, there are cold
plates at all the places. The waitress
has put the platter in front Of the
host and then removed the cold
plate in front of him and put a hot
plate in its place. While he carves
and fills this hot plate she puts
the discarded cold plate on the side
table and takes q hot one In her
right hand. She then stands beside
the host waiting until he has nm
ished filling the plate in front Of
him. She then picks this up with
her left hand and with her right
hand puts the fresh hot plate in
front of him. She carries the filled
plate to whomever the host has told
her 1t is for, exchanging the service
plate in front Of this person for the
filled plate.
She then stops at the side table,
leaves the service plate, picks up
another hot plate and again ex-
changes it for the plate the host
has filled. This procedure is re-
peated until every one has been
served.
A much simpler service IS not to
use service plates (or place plates,
which means the same thing but to
leave the places bare and to put the
whole stack Of eight plates In front
Of the host, the maid merely taking
each one, after it Is filled, to whom
ever she is told. Gf there is no
maid, then this is the only way to
do, and the plates as they are fllled
are handed up the table,
Dear Mrs. Post: I am In the
early 20s and not married and
would like to know whether 1t Is
proper for me to send out formal
invitations to q dinner that my

basis, had cut Walters tobacco
acreage to two acres. She also

group of men attempt to take a
prisoner away from officers of this
Commonwealth, am going to resist
with all the force at my command. -
He said he wished to make this
clear, whatever his decision in the

ranged to meet again tomorrow
after the House group has held a
separate huddle.
Congressional leaders indicated
they would try to push the bills
through before the deadline by hold
ing night sessions if necessary.
Practically assured of quick Senate
approval was a S42,820,000 900 mil
itary supply bill, but last-minute
haggling was in prospect over a
s76,529 900 fund for the CCC.
Several Issues Involved.
The farm bill impasse involves
these issues:
Senate approval for the sale of
125,000,000 bushels of Government
wheat at a price approximating 80
cents buShel for livestock feed
ing, despite house ban on sales at
less than full parity price of
about Sl34.
A Senate provision which would
add soil conservation payments to
market prices when computing par
ity payments under the Federal
farm benefit programs.
A Senate fund for liquidation of
a defense home rural relocation
project.
Senate increases in funds and
loan authority for the Federal Sc
curity Agency for the tenancy and
rural rehabilitation programs.
The CCC allotment. approved by
the Senate when Vice President
Wallace cast the deciding vote to
break a 32-to-32 tie, was included
in a s1157 100000 measure to supply
funds for the Labor Department
and the Social Security Administra-
ton for the coming year
With Senate and House conferees
scheduled to meet this afternoon
Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada said he hoped some express
sion would be forthcoming from
President Roosevelt in support of
the Senate'S action in voting the
CCC funds previously rejected by
the House, which had ordered the
depression agency liquidated
Agency Held in Balance.
Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat. of Virginia said he thought
the House would refuse to change
its stand and Senator McCarran
admitted the agency's chance of
survival was slim" unless the Presi-
dent TOOK hand.
Even if the conferees agreed to
compromise on the amount of funds
involved, opponents of the CCC
served notice that there would be a
strenuous Senate fight against con-
tinuance of the agency.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee said those who
wished to see it abolished regarded
this as a test case which would
determine whether other New Deal
agencies created to meet the de-
preston were to be continued in
wartime.
However, measure making 1885,
100000 available for the employment
of 100000 persons on the WPA for
the next year was expected to win
