. Mr.. Fixif
He Knows or Finds
The Answers

Mr.. Fixit: Several people have
told me the birth certificates
issued by the hospitals at the
time of births were of no value.
Is this true?
L. r. F., Puyallup.
The record kept at a hospital
is valuable record; if you have
a copy of it, or hopsital certifi-
cate, that is valuable: but courts
generally and governmental agen-
cies, require, if it is obtainable,
the physicians certificate filed
with the city, county or state
registrar. That is official and
there isn't any better evidence.
A hospital record should be back
ed up by the doctors filing of the
regular form with the regular
registrar.
Mr.. Fixit: Could you or some
subscriber tell me how to dis
courage mildew on car uphol-
stery? The old hack leaks; that
L know was the cause of the
whole thing. / tried to cure that
back in the old days when top
dressing and raw rubber were on
the market. I've tried every
thing but (she's gonna hate me
for this) stretching my wife's
rubber bathing suit over the car.
Can't stop the leak so would ap-
preciate a good mildew remedy.
GEORGE.
George, you've either got to
stop the leak or dry the car out
with bonfire every night, or mil
dew will persist. Clear out a
space in the living room close to
the fireplace, or something dras-
tic like that. Maybe someone
knows a "discoursger" to sug-
gest if you get the car dried out.

The captain laughed. He stop
ped as they reached the iron
stairway that led up TO the
crows nest.
Even a freighter captain has
to make some pretense of work
ing" he said lightly. and this is
where my day starts. Is there
anything / can do to make you
more comfortable"
Thanks, no. l think I'll take
couple of turns around the
deck and then settle down with
book. Some people think
they're good company"
She swung along the sum
splashed deck with long, easy
steps. The sun caught the gold
in her soft roll of hair and then
poured down over her powder
blue open-necked blouse, her
canary skirt. Her flat-heeled
shoes made her look smaller, less
sophisticated. She had dressed
carefully that morning. AS she
passed Barry's cabin she stop
ped heavily and slowly. But the
door didn't open, and she went
on to her own cabin. Back on
deck with a book, she settled
herself in a deck chair and tried
to read. Her eyes kept desert
ing the pages, restively turning
out over the calm sea where an
early morning mist festooncd it.

gauze above the water.
She laid her head back and
watched with half-closed eyes.
She could hear only the low
rumbling noise of the diesel en-
gines, and the musical ripping
of the sea as it slid along the
ships hull. Slowly the discon-
tent left her face. A mischiev-
Gus smile appeared on her deli
cate lips. In quick decision, she
lifted her purse from beside her
chair and took out a pencil and
notebook. She wrote the mes
sage slowly, carefully, and when
she had finished. she read it
through several times.

her cabin as she heard the rattle
of the anchor chain. She lay
quietly for only a moment as
she heard running footsteps on
the deck, and then slid from her
warm bed, glanced at the lum-
nous travelling clock on her
dresser. II was just 10 minutes
before 5 O'Clock and they were
dropping anchor in the bay OF
Puerto Barrios. She switched
on a light and dressed hurriedly,
selecting mist green sports
dress. After she had quickly
brushed her hair she tied mar
row band of brown ribbon under
il where il fell in waves TO her
shoulders, and made neat tail
ored bow on top. She gave her
self a hasty glance in the mirror,
tossed her polo coat around her
shoulders and went out on deck
A thin pallor of light was
melting the darkness in the east
ern sky. Shadowy figures NOV
ed about on the wharf, shouting
in Spanish. Allison stood alone
at the ships rail Her heart
suddenly quickened as she heard
steps behind her, and then she
felt the touch of hand on her
arm.
Il really didn't expect to find
you up at this hour" Barry said
seriously.
Allison turned to face him.
You mean you thought it was
one Of my practical jokes?" she
said lightly.
Il don't know about the prac-
teal part-but the joke part
yes. When the cabin boy
brought your note l said to my
self. I'll try her once more.

determined face with languid
humor, making no move. She
saw the urgent command slowly
fade out and stern resignation
take its place. He turned and
went to the door, to spin around
for q last bitter word.
"All right. Go into the jun

cheerfully. We'll, who knows?"
The door slammed after Bar

For the next two days the
Caribbean stretched as passive
as q sheet of dark green glass
under a cloudless sky. Allison
felt q restlessness stir within
her. She tried playing shuttle
board with the ships captain but
she couldn't hold her mind to the
game. Her eyes kept sweeping
furtively the length Of the deck
and holding on the door Of cabin
F. But it didn't open. Barry
had kept to his cabin the last
two days. Allison had seen the
little Mexican cabin boy carry
trays TO the door at mealtime.

Barry said sharply.
Allison whirled and walked
up the deck. Then Barry start

the arm and spun her around.
Tears were misted on her long
lashes.

Allison smiled and looked up
at him with the old twinkle in
her eyes.

who yelled fire SO often that
when the house did burst into
flames no one would believe

Women Voters Indorse
Sumner-Ca D. {. Bill

Two bills that would give the Dis
trict representation in governing the
Nation have been approved by the
Executive Board Of the Voteless
District League of Women Voters,
1t was announced yesterday.
The board Endorsed the Sumner
Capper resolution to amend the
Constitution and give national rep
resentation to the District and a
bill to provide for election of a
delegate to Congress from the Dis
trict. The latter bill has not vet
been introduced in the present ses-
sion OF Congress. 1t asks for
election Of candidates who shall
have claimed residence in the Dis
trict only for five years preceding
the election, by a majority type vote
rather than selective primary vote.
In case no candidate receives a
majority, run-otf election between
the two top-ranking contenders is
provided. Candidates would be
nominated by petition of 1000
voters and would file a fee of $500.
In other respects the bill is much
like the Paddock bill, introduced in
the last session.
Commenting on the two suffrage
bills, Mrs. Eugene Callaghan, pres
.dent of the league, said, The
league stresses its continuing pur-
pose TO Americanize the District"

MOSCOW, March 27.-Two VIM
some, bright-eyed Red Army sniper
girls, Natalia Kovsheva and Maria
Polivanova, have been awarded the
highest of Russian honors, the Hero
of the Soviet Union award-but
posthumously.
The girls went to school together
and worked together. They went TO
the front together. And they died
together.
When the workers battalion was
formed in Moscow in October, 194l.
as the Germans hammered their
way toward the capital, the young
girls left school one morning and
applied for posts.
I'VE want to be fighters" said
Natalia.
I'VE want to carry guns said
Maria.
The commissar looked them I'D
and down and shook his head. They
appeared too delicate for the rigors
of the bitter Russian front. The
girls pleaded. Finally the commits
sar gave in.
Soon Natalia and Maria were on
their way to the front-with their
guns.
Pick Off Sc in ST, Days.
During their first six DAYS of
sniping, they picked off 36 of the
enemy. They marched with the
men on Skis and endured all the
hardships Of the soldiers life. When
their total killed reached 300, they
are awarded the Order of the Red
Star.
Inseparable friends, they partici-
pated in the heaviest action as the
Germans surged forward. In a
sharp battle the group with which
they fought held off the Nazis for
a long time, but at last there were
only three fighters, the two girls and
a man, Ivan Novikov.
All three were wounded. Their
bullets finally gave out. The Ger
mans charged. The girls threw two
hand grenades. driving the Ger
mans off momentarily. But on they
came.
Then the grenades gave out.
These courageous daughters of
Moscow were killed, but the Ger
mans were, too" said Pravda.
Novikov was left for dead by the
Nazis, but later was picked up by
