The grocery carrier is a regular old-fashioned woven-wood clothes baSket-on wheels, and with handle shaped and measured for easy maneuvering. This n.anufac- tured item was, of course, born of wartime carry your purchases" practice.
 Few people realize, Miss Carson points out. what inroads the metal shortage is about to make on household articles. Due right now are kitchen changes which really amount to something" For in- stance, only eight l.inds of kitchen utensils can be produced under new regulations. Miss Carson selected the exhibit pieces on the basis of those regulations rather than on the basis of what pre-regulation articles may still be found in stock.
 The Museum consulted a War Production Board substitutionS ex- pert. He vigorously urged tranSi- ton. He said that present tempo rary availability of chromium. cop- per, nickel, tin, aluminium and lucite objects "deludes the pur- chaser into a false sense of se- curity, and results in unfortunate pressure on war agencies for di- version of materials vital to the armaments of our armed forces" One springtime essential you'll miss is wire-mesh window screens. But they're making new ones of non- essential plastics.
 Instead of rubber sink shoppers, the museum shows neat, white plastic plug. Also a plastic plaS- terer's knife which turns out to be a nice, flexible replacement for the rubber or fine steel dish-scraper Also new top for glass jars, made of compressed paper, which screws

 And instead of thinking, T won't worry him about this" wife should give her husband chance to advise her about important de- cisions - when there is time for discussion by letter.
 She should let him know. too. that his wishes and his tastes aren't be- ing ignored or forgotten in his own home. When she mentions buying new dress she might add that she thinks he would like it.

on smoothly and tightly. And a pretty blue paper powder compact with mirror and a good catch. Just manufactured and not yet available in retail stores, the com pact looks and works like laequered metal.
 Paper substitutes for metal cook ing articles are interesting. There are casseroles for baking both dry and gooey sauce covered food These are sold by dime stores. They're to be used once not washed or reused. Expensive for long-run home use, of course, but fine for the church social or other special occasion for which metal utensils would be used
 Of broader portent: pottery and glassware, such at pottery skillets, glass double boilers, glass bell for the table. These are not new, the museum says, but they ire cheap and are shown to discourage the wasteful American practice of abandoning good design simply to satisfy the craving to present something new even If inferior"
 Wood replaces metal in trouser- hangers that look ell right for skirts too--one of these will hang three garments neatly, with no sliding or adjusting of metal springs or catches. A bright green felt spectacle case protects eye- glasses as leather cases did-and is better looking, too.
 German women have ceased wearing cosmetics and German men are doing with one brand of shaving soap. The museum seeks to demonstrate what the govern ment substitutions expert says:
 "If Axis civilians can part with many peaceful. luxuries for the sake of their soldiers, American ci- vilians can do that job even better"

 DISCUSS DECISIONS
 If there are children, important decisions concerning them should be discussed or fully explained to her husband. Nothing would make a man feel pushed aside more quickly than thinking that just because he is not at home he has no say over the upbringing of his family.
 None of these points is too triv- ial for the wife whose husband is away to keep in mind when she talks to him by letter. For 1t is only through her letters that she can let him know that his influ- ence is carrying as much weight as ever in family decisions and dayAto-day living.

When an egg breaks at one end
If the other end is cracked it can
be boiled without forcing the con-
tents out.
You will find that your potatoes
are much lighter if you heat the
milk and butter together before
adding them to the mashed pota-
toes.
You can dress up jellied soup
very nicely and make them really
attractive by adding a slice of
lemon which has been dipped in
chopped parsley.
The proper selection of china
and the small detail of having
plates hot will do much toward
making a meal a success.
II you let potatoes stand in hot
water before baking, they will bake
more quickly. Dry them we'll be-
tore putting in the oven.

ing up in line of battle of troops
at Cavetown; however, there was
no fighting The formation was
viewed by a number of residents
of that immediate neighborhood
who were curious to see troops
drawn up in battle array.
On the heights at Williamsport,
near the cemetery, today are big
guns pointing in the direction of
the river, in a position to guard
any approach of the enemy. As
one looks at these guns and those
at battlefelds, such as Antietam
and Gettysburg, he is struck with
the comparison of implements of
warfare Of those today and those
of yesteryear. The cannon that
we see preserved on battlefelds
today were horse-drawn and in
the accounts of battles which we
read we sometimes are told of how
many horses were shot from un-
der this general or that general
Today it is submarines, tanks, mo-
tordriven, huge airplane bombers,
ETC., each side put to the test of
keeping up to improvements and
inventions of war implements. A
gun may be practically finished
when orders come to hold up de-
livery for changes of a later inven-
ton.
In perusing a historical volume
we are also struck by something
else by way of comparison. The
pictures shown, without exception,
are men at least so years and
many far beyond that age. Here
are some of them: Halleck, Casey,
Shields, Franklin, Scott, Buell., Dix,

flowing. A very few had mus

Even if some leftover sand
wiches are very dry, don't throw
them away. Usually they may. be
toasted on both sides, then welE
buttered, and cut into small pieces

dry, then dip in an egg and milk

sides, brown it in butter.

the opening gun of the Civil War
was fired, at Fort Sumpter, South
Carolina, in Charlestown Harbor.
At designated hour, 4:30 A. NJ,
on the morning of Friday, April IL
1861, the Confederate batteries
opened fire ON the fort, which re-
piled to them with spirit The
BON bardment lasted over 80 hours,
during which the fort was greatly
damaged and many of the guns
were dismounted. A Union fleet
arrived off the harbor during the
bombardment but took no part in
the engagement. Not a single life
was lost in this memorable battle.
The fort at this time was under
the command of Major General
Robert Anderson. He was born
in 1910 and was graduated with
honor at West Point. His first i'm
portant service was in the Black
Hawk War. In 1888 he was appoint
ed assistant instructor and inspec-
tor at West Point. He published
a book entitled obstruction for
field artillery, Horse and Foot; ar
ranged for the service of the
United States He assisted in
the siege Of Vera Cruz, Mexico, ac-
companying General Scott in his
triumphal march to the City of
Mexico. He was a brave man but
a historian tells us ''the officer
who commanded the Confederate
forces in Charleston, was not un-
worthy in some respects, to be
the rival Of so admirable soldier
as Major Anderson He also
graduated with honors at West
Point in 1898
A single bombshell burst first
directly over the fort. Many of
the residents of Charleston as
sembled at vantage points and wit
messed the display of fireworks.
Seven thousand men attacked the
fort garrisoned by 70 men. On
Sunday morning at $3.50 the garri-
son withdrew, firing a salute of
100 guns. They then embarked on
transport furnished by the Con-
federates to the patriotic strains
Of Yankee Doodle" They subse-
quentlv sailed for .(ew York.
The attack on Fort Sumpter put
an end to the last hope of peace
and aroused the most intense ex-
citement in both sections of the
country. On the 18th of April,
President Lincoln called upon the
States to furnish $4,000 troops
The Northern and Western states
responded with enthusiasm. The
enthusiasm of the South was fully
equal to that of the North.
Coming near home was an Incl
dent connected with the three
months campaign of the Federal
forces in Virginia, under command
of General Robert Patterson. 1t
was on July 2 that his troops. 20
600 of them crossed the Poto-
mac at Williamsport. The fording
(and that is the way they crossed)
began at dawn of the day and con-
tinued until nightfall. Before the
fording commenced skirmish
took place between the Federal
pickets and the Berkeley Border
Guard. General Ambercrombie's
brigade was in advance of the Fed
eral forces, and having crossed the
Potomac, they continued their
march on the turnpike toward Mar
tinsburg. The pickets of the en-
emy were first seen at Falling
Waters. They retired and about
mile beyond, the encounter took
place which has been designated
as the battle of Falling Waters.

Parking Relief Is Asked
For Federal Employees

Appeal to the House District Com
mittee for relief of the parking
situation for Government employees
was made yesterday by William A.
Kelley. chief of the pulp and paper
division of the War Production
Board, who presented a petition
filed by hundreds of Government
workers.
He suggested that parking be
permitted on one side of the Mall
but, in reply to questions, said that
he and his fellow workers would like
to have the beauty of the Mall
preserved.
He said that under present condi-
tions Government workers have to
come down before am. to find a
place to park and that many of
them eat their breakfast in their
automobiles. He himself and six
associates hired a station wagon
to carry them to and from work.
He lives IA miles outside the District
