For instance-what kinds Of
grease are needed and how should
it be prepared? The answer to the
first question is, Every kind of
waste fat-bacon and sausage drip
pings, fat from roasts, steaks and
chops, bits Of leftover butter. Fish
onion and other odors have no eff
feet on the value Of the grease" As
for preparing the grease, two rules
should be followed: ~ The grease

moisture, and (2) it should be kept
in clean. dry containers, preferably
in the refrigerator.
Grease should be strained through
c~heesecloth or a fine mesh sieve be-
fore it is stored. II mixed with meat
juices, it should be allowed to cool;
the fat will rise to the top. and,
with a little care, can be easily re
moved. Scraps from steaks and
chops can be rendered in the frying
pan, the grease poured off and the
bones thrown away
As for containers, grocers have

be used, but clean, fresh grease is
more desirable from the renderer's
standpoint. It's best to keep the
grease in a cool place and dispose of
it frequently, to prevent rancidity.
Women who save grease and
make their own soap have asked if
this isn't just as satisfactory as
selling the grease for commercial
soap manufacture. OF courss it Is
q commendable and thrifty practice,
but there's just one point to remem
ber-when soap is made at home,
the %glycerine is not recovered.
Some women, active in church
groups and clubs, have suggested
that their organizations collect the
grease and sell it directly to TIE
renderer. This can be done, but it
is simpler to sell through the
ers. Packing house trucks have
regular routes for picking up waste
and refuse from grocers and butch
er shops; they can also pick I'D
grease. thus conserving tires and
gasoline.
And lastly, there have been m
quiries as to the use of the grease.
Viii It be used in making lard and
other foods? Absolutely not. Food
inspection laws protect the house

grease will be utilized only in soap
manufacture.

DR. DEVENIS ON
 HOMEWARD TRIP
Local Doctor Held in Rus= sian Concentration Camp
 on Way to America

Dr. Michael Devenis has com- pleted the first phase of his trip to the United States from Russia where he has been a political prisoner for two years, according to cable re- ceived by his wife here. The cable, dated July 6, states that the former local physician has arrived in Bas- rah, Persia, and is awaiting further transportation which will bring him to this country.
 Mrs. Devenis who makes her home at 50 ElmWood avenue with their three children expressed great joy Saturday night when she revealed receipt of the cable. The children are counting the days until their father arrives, she told the Demo- crat, and say almost unbelievably Before school opens we shall see our father again." It may be several weeks before the long delayed trip is completed, Mrs. Devis stated in expressing concern over the danger of travelling.
 The cable was the first word re- ceived from Dr. Devenis since he was taken in custody by Russian authorities at the time of the oc- cupation of Lithuanian. Mrs. De- venis and the children escaped to this country at that time coming again to Waterbury where they had formerly made their home.
 It was not until May 27 that Mrs. Devenis received definite word that her husband was alive. Rumors had been circulating for some time that the former physician had died at a Siberian concentration camp. The state department notified her on that day, as reported in the Demo- crat, that her husband had been re- leased from a camp in the Ural mountains and was at the American embassy in Kuibishev awaiting pass age here.
 The only thing to mar the hap piness of the Devenis family is a re- port that Mrs. Devenis' father, John Vileisis who was prominent in Lith- uanian political circles a number of years ago, has died Conflicting re- ports, however, reaching here have led Mrs. Devenis to believe that the news may be false. Dates mentioned by her father in a letter received here two months ago do not agree with dates mentioned in the cable telling of his death, Mrs. Devenis said.

 The Fire Department figured ex- tensively in Sundays demonstration. Chief Thomas Cavanaugh was on duty at Fire Headquarters, and so was Superintendent John Schlosser of the Bureau of Fire Alarm.

Arrested June 13 on a charge of reckless driving, Clifford Detlefsen, 19, of 1246 Baldwin street was given the benefit of the Goup:e today in municipal court by Judge T. E. Con- way and granted discharge.
 Motor Patrolman Matthew Gua- rini arrested Detlefsen after a car operated by him struck and injured Mary Jenner, 8, of 1886 Baldwin street as she crossed the street near her home. Two witnesses offered conflicting versions of the accident at the last hearing CT the case June 30 and Judge Conway continued the matter until today for further con- Sideration.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy told the court today the youth did not see the girl running across the street because his attention was di- verted momentarily.
 Judge Conway said the case had caused him a great deal of concern and that he had changed his mind several times as to Detlefsen's guilt or innocence. Tn view of the doubt in his own mind he said he would discharge the accused youth.
 Three youths were placed on pro- bation for SIX months on charge of taking car without permission June 29 from an East Main street parking lot. The car was the prop erty of Col. Ernest E. Novey of Torrington.
 Pleas of guilty to the charge were
