Household Problems
How Safeguard Baby Carriage Which Is Be Stored;
Correct Bleaching Process for Wood Also Described

Dear Miss NOVEL;: We are 1eav-
ing town for some months and I
wish to store the baby carriage
safely. Can you tell me what should
be done to keep the leather top,
the upholstery and the metal parts
as safe as possible? T. D. C.
Answer-Wash the leather parts
with saddle soap. If 1t Is real leather
give 1t q treatment with leather
dressing; If it is imitation, give it
coat of paste wax, allowing 1t to
dry hard before polishing. Clean
all metal parts, including the wheels,
with mild soap and water. Remove
all traces of soap with q damp cloth,
and wipe dry. Cover the metal parts
with petrolatum, but avoid getting
any Of it on the rubber tires. Sift
moth crystals all through the in
terror If it has = fabric lining, cover
the carriage well to keep of the
dust, and store in = cool and alb
solutely dry place. A basement in
Washington during the summer is
usually not dry enough.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: Birds are con-
stantly falling down my chimney.
If I put tine wire netting over
the chimney opening will it inter-
fere with the draft? H. c.
Answer-The wire netting will not
interfere with the draft, but fine
wire will rust and burn out In
such a short time that it will do
little good. See If you can get a
netting Of heavier gauge wire with
a mesh not smaller than two inches
This will solve your problem, I am
sure.
Dear Miss Nowen-Can you tell
me how to get = blond finish on
furniture? Can 1t be done on only
certain kinds of wood or is 1t pos
sible to get this effect on pine?
H. N. s.
Answer-The bleaching process
can be done on any kind OF wood
even when 1t Is as dark as walnut
or mahogany. You can get a wood
bleach at your paint store which
will do q very nice job, or you may
make one at home with super
saturated solution of oxalic acid
(poison). Most of these will bleach
the wood out to a grayed tone which
may not be what you desire, bu.
after the bleach is completed it i:
possible to stain the wood the de-
sired blond shade and then finish
with a clear lacquer.

200 Cars Near Circus
Cited by 0PA Agents
For Pleasure Drivinq
Other Machines Tobbed
At Baseball Park
And at Golf Course

Police and OPA inspectors last
night cited more than 200 auto
mobiles parked near the circus
grounds as violators of the pleasure
driving ban, it was reported today.
The Metropolitan Police Depart
ment alone turned over to local OPA
headquarters the license numbers of
about 200 cars, the drivers of which
presumably were somewhere under
the Big Top OPA inspectors re-
ported 53 cars found at the circus,
at Rock Creek golf course, at Griffith
Stadium and In other scattered
places.
The latest batch of numbers turned
over to OPA here brings to nearly
1000 the total number of alleged
vlolators since the ban started.
Although the restrictions on driving
were reimposed by the OPA four
weeks ago. not a single motorist has
yet been called upon to appear be-
fore any of the local boards, as far
as the local OPA headquarters knew.
The first batch of cases was as
signed to the boards last week. Some
cases were dismissed by the OPA
after the drivers presented satisfac-
tory excuses in the mail or by ap-
pearing at the administrative Of
fees.
At the same time, a large number
Of cases are still pending at the OPA
offices. These will be sent to the
boards for action as soon as they
have been cleared"
No report has yet come into the
OPA Office as to whether any of
the boards have set hearing dates
for the first group of cases. OPA
officials here recently sent all of
the boards instructions on how to
handle the cases to insure uniform
ity in procedure and in melting out
penalties.

Salvage Group
Will Intensity
Tin Can Drive
Collections Drop
At Apartments,
Business Houses

The District Salvage Committee
plans to intensity its commercial
tin can collection drive, it was
learned today, as officials admit a
decided falling off of collections
from apartment houses and some
business places.
Offlcials met today with repre-
sentatives of the Washington bot
ting industry In the Office of Paul
Cabot, director of the War Produc-
tion Boards salvage division and
agreed on the plan.
An attempt will be made for
complete coverage of all apartments
in the city," Horace Walker, execu-
tive secretary of the committee, re-
ported.
Only small percentage of the
city's apartment houses are joining
in the program, he said, and inter-
est in preparing cans for collection
has been tagging.
Bottlers, whose trucks make the
pickups to supplement the District
collection of cans from private
homes, told of returning from runs
with trucks less than half filled. 1t
was estimated that trucks are pick
ing up an average of As pounds of
cans stop.
Mr.. Walker said many apartment
dWellers were willing to save cans,
but that often help was lacking to
see that cans were gathered up for
the day of collection.
He reported that during May cans
collected by bottlers had dropped
to 47.000 pounds. High month was
February, when $4,000 pounds were
collected.
Despite the falling off in collec-
tions of tin cans, the District made
a good record in collection of COL
lapsible tin tubes, the District Sal
wage Committee explained This
city placed l1th in the national drive
for this supply.
According to figures furnished by
the Tin Salvage Institute, 4,44O $40
pounds have been collected in the
country.
DR.. G. E. McCann, chairman of
the Drug Stores Advisory Commit
tee, said the collapsible tin tubes
are approximately 98 per cent pure
tin. The largest single shipment by
any firm in the United States came
from the Peoples Drug Stores of this
city with total Of 81 ,035 pounds.

Ban on Delivering
Small Parcels Goes
In Effect Tomorrow
Five-Pound Rule Issued
By ODT; Regulations on
Luxury Items Eosed

Retail delivery of virtually all
types of small packages will be pro-
hibited after midnight tonight here
and in all States of the Eastern gas
oline shortage area.
Under the ban. announced last
night by the Office of Defense
Transportation, no delivery may be
made to a purchaser if the pack
ages involved have a combined
weight of less than pounds or a
total length and girth of less than
60 inches.
Only exceptions to this rule are
those permitting the delivery of
milk, bread and other bakery prod
ucts. eggs. fruits and vegetables,
meat poultry. laundry and dry
cleaning. medical supplies and re-
pair parts.
Rules on Luxury Items Eased.
In announcing the new carry
your-own- package" order, however,
the ODT relaxed its three -week-old
absolute ban on retail deliveries of
liquor, ice cream, flowers, candy
and similar luxury" items.
Under the new regulations, which
replace those announced on May
"a. a store may make to each GUS
toner one delivery a week involv-
ing any of the following articles:
Alcoholic beverages or wines, beer,
soft drinks, manufactured tobacco
products, candy and confections. ice
cream and ices. magazines and
periodicals and cut flowers.
Two deliveries week to each Gus
toner are permitted where the pur-
| chaSeS are ornamental shrubs. nov
elites, nursery stocks, toys, iewelry,
furs. radios, monographs or an
tiques.
The size and weight restrictions,
however, apply in all cases where
the weekly or biweekly deliveries
ale allowed
According to an ODT spokesman,
this means that if customer orders
a large radio or a case of beer. the
delivery can be made. On the other
hand, if he buys small radio or
only few bottles of beer, he must
carry his own package.
Purpose Is to Save Gas.
The only way customer can OBJ
tain delivery of small packages un-
der the new rules is by ordering
enough small packages from one
store at one time so that the total
size or weight of his several pur-
chases will exceed ODT limitation.
Purpose of the new prohibitions
on retail delivery, the ODT spokes-
man said, is to make certain that
the limited supply of gasoline in the
East is used only for necessary trans
portation."
At the same time, the previous
absolute ban on deliveries of the
luxury items was eased because
the ODT did not want to put stores
dealing in these products out of
business" the spokesman said. The
size and weight restrictions will not
work too great hardship on any
class of stores or consumers, he pre-
dicted.
Department stores, on which the
new size and weight restrictions will
fall the hardest, doubted that the
new rules would have much effect on
their business. All local department
stores have been cooperating for
