Here's good news from the home
furnishing angle. A survey by the
Office of Price Administration re-
vealed that retailers now have in
stock sufficient supply to meet
normal shopping deands for the
next eight months. That means
you need not be content with an
odd sized rug if you want a regular
sized floor covering. It seems that
rumors of shortage of regular sized
rugs have been circulated, but the
OPA advised housewives that these
are lnfounded. Actually, it is ex-
pected that present stocks of rugs
may even last longer because pur-
chases have dropped considerably.

Saving for rainy day means just
that now that your rubbers and gal
oshes are a part of the country's
wartime rubber supply. The care
taken of rubber footwear will help
conserve dwindling supplies Of this
essential material. The OPA con-
sumner division suggests that rubber
footwear be kept clean with soap
and water. Other pointers to help
preserve rubbers include storing
them in a cool dark place after stuff
fling them with paper. Be careful
not to place them near heat, and
repair rubbers at once. IF mending
materials such as rubber cement or
other rubber patching materials are
not available, a shoe repair shop
can do the job. >.-.s

One effect of the -the-meat
plan probably will be the return of
the soup pot TO Mrs. Americas stove.
Bone is counted in the 21s pound
per person weekly meat allotment so
many women more than likely will
be using it for soup either the bone
from the roast removed before the
meat is cooked or left over after the
meat is eaten. Soup bones them
selves count in the weeks allotment
even when purchased separate from
the meat. Deboning of all meats
before cooking is suggested. The
butcher will do the large roasts,
but even the lamb, veal and pork
chops and the sirloin steaks will
yield fine material for the soup pot.

The day of tossing coffee hap
hazardly into the coffee pot is over
with rationihg beginning Nov. g.
And that is where most housewives
have been wasteful by not accurate
ly measuring coffee. OPA experts
urge housewives to experiment with
a measuring spoon to decide how
much coffee needed per cup to serve
the family. Also, they advise house
wives to keep coffee tightly closed
in cool place to help retain fresh
ness, especially when coffee comes
in paper bags, and that's the way
most of it will be arriving in
kitchens soon. BY Christmas it is
expected that the stocks of coffee
packed in tin will he pretty much on
the way out, and glass jars with
metal screw tops may go soon after.

He states that the section of the

Mexico City was built on lakes.
Senor Castillo Najera tells you that

between the firm top soil and the

BY CATHERINE HAMBLEY.

"One hundred generations would
suffer If the nations of the Western
Hemisphere fail to act together!"
Is the warning of Senor DIR. Don
Francisco Castillo Najera, Ambas-
sador from Mexico, and he gets the
greatest satisfaction from the almost
perfect unity of the Americas.
"A cultural exchange is the most
powerful instrument to forge ties
OF friendship between nations" he
declares. Unless you know the en-
voy this statement seems surprising
because the Ambassador is burly,
two-fisted, fiery tempered Mexican
who you would think could have
little time or patience for the arts.
In truth, he has as broad an
acquaintance of the esthetic prod
ucts of life as he has shrewd grasp
OF the realities of this world.
He has hanging in his dimly lit
office, along with photographs of
President Avila Camacho and for
mer President Lazaro Cardenas and
other friends, a reproduction of a
mural Of the Mexican border show
ing a native girl looking north to
the skyScrapers of the United States.
A Pan-American mural depicting
such personalities as Simon Bolivar
and Christopher Columbus adorns
the staircase of the Embassy.
While Ambassador to Belgium he
translated into Spanish "One Hun
dred Years of Belgian Poetry" He
wrote a book of poems called "Fhe
Hawk" which describes the adven-
lures Of Mexican peon. His IA
vorite poets are the Frenchman,
Valery, the pro-democrat poet of
Chile, Pablo Neruda, William
Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe.
Was One Time Editor.
He also likes Mexican history and
Cervantes' Don Quixote." For a
time he was editor of the "Heraldo
de Mexico"
He adores Wagner and Strauss
and the seldom heard, Italian opera
Andrea Chenier, by Giordano. He
recently wrote a corrido grande en-
titled Eel Gavilan"
The Ambassador also loves to fly
and he collects procelainS and old
Chinese pottery.
Senor Castillo Najera dresses in
formally. What he does not know
a lot about he knows enough about.
He has a dominating personality
and his strong face, generally with
black cigarette holder jutting up
from the corner of his mouth, shows
purpose and is high lighted by
piercing black eyes which make you
feel glad that you are his friend
rather than his enemy. His almost
white hair is contrasted with his
swarthy complexion. With a sly
look he tells you that there is
much bad about mel"
Born in Durango, in Northern
Mexico, he studied medicine at the
University of Mexico City and for
his brilliance was made a member
of the faculty. When the revolu-
ton came in 1915 he joined up with
the medical military service and
served the forces of Carranza, the
Mexican chief opposing Huerta. He
later became a brigadier general
and still later director of the mill
tary hospital and surgeon general
Of the army. An expert on yellow
fever, he also was an organizer of
the Mexican public health service.
Then he was, in succession, Mex
ico's representative in China, Bel
gium. the Netherlands, France, at
the League of Nations and in the
United States. He was president
Of the Council to the League and
Is now president of the Mexican
section of the Mexican American
Commission of Joint Defense. The

The big Tiger team is all popped

than to defeat the Ell Centre team
for the first time since they re-en-

erS won their second victory in the
league since returning to competi-
ton when they topped the Holt
vile Vikings this season, TO. Last
year the Tigers tripped CaleXico for
their first win.
Lonski, throwing off a coach's

that his team would trip the Spar

together much better than at the
