ments.in-exile are in q delicate po-
sition as guests Of Great Britain
and as recipients Of the many cour-
tesies and kindnesses extended to
them by his majesty's government.
It is difficult under these circum-
stances to treat with the British
government on the plane OF the
oretical equality which exists be-
tween sovereign states.
Find Assurances Vague.
The reasons advanced by the gov
enments-in-exile for their move to
Cairo are geographical and military.
The Greeks say that they must be
near their homeland when the day
OF the Allied invasion dawns.
The Yugoslavs give the same rea-
son. The Poles say that move to
Cairo would bring them closer to
the Polish army-in-exile which is
at present in Palestine awaiting
modern equipment. Back Of these
plausible reasons, however, lies a
situation Of which, the Eastern
European diplomats will point out,
they do not speak officially.
And that is the fact that neither
London nor Washington has been
willing or able to define the future
status Of their nations beyond the
blanket assurances Of the Atlantic
Charter. The small countries. which
have a keen sense of the difficulties
inherent in bargaining with large
powers, are finding those assurances
a bit vague.

The Home Clinic
Reody-Posted Wall paper SimpIifies
Problem Of Making House Attractive

There is no doubt we live in a
land of wonderful opportunity Let
there be an emergency and some
one comes to the fore with a solu-
tipn which saves the situation.
When our paint and painters went
to war we were offered a wall coat
ing so simple to use that every
woman could recolor the walls of
her house more easily than she
could scrub them. Now that labor
shortages have taken skilled paper
hangers into more essential work,
along comes a ready pasted wall
paper that any housekeeper can ap>
ply as easily as she does any of her
other household cleaning tasks.
Gone is all the difficulty of paste
making and application, careful
measuring and pattern matching.
These new wall papers come in a
variety of designs, marked off on
the selvedge in 12-inch sections for
ready measuring. A pair of scis-
sors, a razor blade, straightedge
and a tub of water are all that is
necessary to transform a drab room
into thing of beauty with this wall
paper.
Start With Plumb Line.
First of all, tack a plumb line
17la inches to the right of the room
door. Each strip goes to the right
of the last one so that patterns con-
form all around the room. Measure
the height from the ceiling line to
the floor for the length you will need.
Next mark with pencil line across
the paper and cut with scissors.
It's good plan to add half an inch
to actual measurement to account
for wall variations. This may be
trimmed off with a razor blade at
the Dashboard when the wall paper
length is in place.
When you are ready to put up a
strip. roll it up with the pattern on
the outside of the roll and immerse
it completely in a bath of cold,
clear water for full minute. The

of engineering and construction.
The treated material retains its
cleanliness, paintability and freedom
from unpleasant odor.

Reported Irritoted by
Attitude in London
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Washington diplomatic gossip has
reached a new high in the last few
weeks. The buzzing is going on in
the chanceries of the Southeastern
European embassies and 1t concerns
the dissatisfaction of their govern
ments-in-exile. which have been
domiciled In London, with the at
mosphere Of the British capital
Some of these refugee governments
are no longer entirely comfortable
in London and diplomatic exodus
Is on the way.
The Greek government-in-exile
King George and the bulk OF his
cabinet have already moved to
Cairo.
The Yugoslav government is ex-
pected to follow shortly, as soon as
the necessary accommodations can
be found for King Peter and his
government. Now, according to re-
cent reports, the Poles are toying
with the idea of following the
Greeks and the Yugoslavs to a new
Mediterranean home.
Irked by Atmosphere.
These governments-in-ex are

done, will give just as much protec-
ton against evaporation loss as a
costly mulch.
Many garden plants will suffer If
the soil is allowed to crust to the
extent that they are unable to get
sufficient air. Oftentimes sweet
corn will be badly stunted from lack
of soil aeration.
The tap-rooted crops, such as
beets, carrots, parsnips. ETC., need
deep cultivation. This is primarily
to keep the soil loose about the roots
so that they will not have too much
difficulty in expanding. Carrots and
parsnips have an especially difficult
time in making normal growth in q
hard, compacted soil.
Even where mulches are employed
during the hotter part of the sum-
mer, the soil should be thoroughly
stirred before applying the mulch
ing material. Early application Of
mulches is not advisable since they
tend to delay the maturity of the
garden crops. 1t is only after the
soil is thoroughly warmed up that
we may safely substitute mulches for
cultivation.
Cultivation following every shower
will go long ways toward grow
ing the kind of crops that we
all want. It must begin before the
seeds are we'll sprouted and con-
tinue until the crops are harvested.
1t may be work, but vegetable crops
will not flourish without it.

roll must be completely immersed.
A large washtub, the laundry tub
or the bathtub will do nicely. After
a minute, remove the roll, hold it
vertically until it drips. Then turn
it horizontally and it can be carried,
without dripping, until 1t is used.
Unroll about a foot Of paper at a
time, starting at the ceiling line
and carrying the selvedge truly on
the plumb line. Remove air bubbles
with the fiat of the hand. Repeat
all the way to the Dashboard.
Smooth along the edges with the
hand and wipe over the entire strip
with a clean moist sponge.
Razor Makes Neat Edges.
Cut around light switches and
other impediments with g. razor
blade for a neat, clean edge. With
the scissors, cut the paper at right
angles at the top corners of doors
and windows. Press in at the
edges.
Each strip goes to the right of
the last, and serves as a guide for
the next. The selvedge should be
overlapped and the pattern matched
carefully.
Some patterns are easier to handle
than others. A stripe Is simpler
than a large floral that must be
matched perfectly. Select the
simplest design and the smallest
room for the first experiment. After
part of room is completed you will
be an old hand at the game and
an intricate pattern will have no
terrors for you.
An attractive home is one of the
greatest satisfactions any of us
have these days. Most of our lives
are lived there and entertaining
our friends at home is our only war
time recreation With new rooms
literally at our fngertips these days,
there is no reason why any of us
should be embarrassed about the
appearance of our homes.

Cleaning Of Walls Urged
Before Paint Is AppIied

Walls in kitchens and rooms with
flreplaces are likely to acquire a
greasy or sooty film which should
be thoroughly removed by clean
ing before they are repainted. If
this is not done, the new paint
will not adhere properly. If light
tints are used, the soil may result
in blotches in the new paint job.
Painted walls may be cleaned
with any of the prepared paint
cleaners or with strong soap and
water, and should be wiped off with
clear water and allowed to dry be-
fore the new paint is applied.

FPHA Paying Cities
.S16,500,OOO in Lieu Of
Taxes on u. ). HOUSING
Makes Up for Revenues
Which Private Owners
Would Be Assessed

The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority today estimated that more
than $16,500,000 will be paid on
Government-financed war-housing
projects in taxes to local communi-
ties to make up for 1912 and 1943
taxes which would be due If the
properties were owned privately.
The agency reported today that
approximately $2,774,000 has been
paid or approved for payment to
date and that $776,000 more will be
paid shortly, bringing the total to
$3,54O,0O0, which will be paid In
place of 1912 taxes.
s13,o0o,o0o This Year.
1t is estimated that $13.000,000
will be forthcoming this year be-
cause of the increased publicly
financed construction under the
MIA war-housing program. How
ever, some of these payments will
not be made until early in 1914, it
was said.
''The total will equal the amount
which would have been paid had the
Government owned housing projects
been privately owned" FPHA Com
missioner Herbert Emmerich said.
public war housing. through a
national policy set by Congress. is
carrying its normal tax load. And
the FPHA, by cooperating closely
with local taxing Jurisdictions, is
making every effort to carry out
this policy on time"
Payments in lieu of taxes date
back to January 81, 1912, when
provision for such payments went
into effect. Mr. Emmerich explained
the policy of making such payments
has been liberalized for loW-rent
projects owned by local authorities
and occupied by low-income fami-
lies. In these projects payments
will be as large as possible, consid-
ering the obligation to bondholders
and the necessity to maintain the
low-rent character of the projects.
This liberalized policy has added
more than $332,O0O to local tax
treasures.
120 Cities Affected.
Economical management of these
projects and increasing tenant in
comes, with resulting higher rents,
have made possible substantial saw
ings which are being divided pro-
portionately to reduce Federal con-
tributions and to pay sums in lieu
of taxes to local taxing bodies,"
Mr. Emmerich said.
OF 120 cities in 30 States which
have low-rent housing projects, only
43 originally had contractual pro-
visions for making payments in
lieu of taxes. The other II cities
provided for complete tax exemp-
ton. Today all cities have been
put on the same basis.
AS of March Is, the publicly
financed war-housing program in
volved $4,000 dwelling units. OF
this number, 100000 units have been
completed and 235,o00 more are un-
der contract. The low-rent program,
consisting of dwellings built by local
housing authorities before the war
for low-income families from the
slums, constituted $1,000 dwellings.

Will Tighten Muscles.
Women have learned to exercise
correctly while they do their house
work so that they do not overwork
one set of muscles. The same rou-
tine is helpful on gardening. It is
wonderful exercise and may be
utilized to strengthen and tighten
every set of muscles in the body
without discomfort.
When the day is over relax in a
warm tub to ease all the muscles.
A brisk alcohol or witch hazel rub
will tone up the whole frame. Do
not take chances by sitting in a
breeze to cool off after your labors.
This will cause chilled muscles to
tighten up for days. Cover up like
the baseball and football players
do to keep your muscles timber.
Plan your efforts so that you vary
your position and fiex a new set
of muscles every 80 minutes. Don't
overdo the first day, and most i'm
portant of all-keep warm after ex-
ercise In this way you will get
through the first days of victory
gardening without being casualty.

Girl Dies From
Severe Burns

Pouring oil on the fire in the
stove at her home caused the death
of Phyllis Priest, ten, daughter of
Jesse and Edith Wood Priest, Dru-
more, R. l, Tuesday night, in Lam
caster General Hospital.
The Friest family reside on the B.
G. Dunkle farm, near Bethesda.
The girl and her three younger
brothers were in the house alone on
Tuesday forenoon when the girl
poured oil on wood stove fire. One
of the brothers, Edward, aged one
year, was treated at the hospital for
slight burns.
The other brothers, Theodore,
George and David, escaped injury.
The girl got the children out of the
house and jumped into small
stream near the spring house. Her
father, working in the fields, arrived
about this time and after extinguish-
ing the flames in the kitchen, took
the children to Doctors Office, and
not finding the physician at home
went ON to the hospital.
Mrs. Priest and Mrs. B. c. Dunkle
had been in Quarryville that fore
noon and had not arrived home.
The girls clothes were almost
burned away when she ran to the
field for her father. The children
were taken by neighbor to the
Lancaster General Hospital.

Rising Sun firemen were called
out Monday afternoon to fight fire
that was sweeping through the
woods in the vicinity of the old spar

wind drove the flames before it with
terrific speed, making the fire a
dangerous and difficult one to fight,
as it roared through the tract, thick
ly wooded with scrub pine trees,
flames enveloping these trees from
bottom to top in fash. The firemen
succeeded in getting the flames un-
der control after. a seetfen Embracing
fully ninety acres had been burned
over
Oxford firemen were called to
help give aid, but their apparatus
got mired in the soft ground and
most of their efforts had to be di-
