What To Expect
 On Rent Raises!
Landlords May Not Evict Tenants If They Refuse To Sign New Lease With Changed Terms
 Gives Basic Regulations

Connecticut landlords, and par ticularIy owners and managers of apartment houses, are now prepar- ing leases for their tenants. While it is not prevalent in all cities, there arc cases where operators of apart ments are including rider clauses in leases, which, if signed, will place the tenants in position where they give up some of their protection against rent increases.
 Nathan White, area administrator of Rent Control for New Haven, when approached on this subject, said that a tenant refusing to sign a re- newal of a lease which is on the same terms at his expiring lease, puts him self in a position where the landlord has right to evict him. On the other hand, a tenant cannot be forced to sign a lease which is different in any respect than his present one.''
 White explained that the Rent Control Office is constantly making adjustments in petitions after they are cleared through the proper chan ne1s, and arise from certain condl- tions. Tenants may be evicted upon advice from the OPA Rent Control Office if they do not pay their rent maintain a nuisance or refuse to sign lease identical with the one they presently hold In these cases the landlord files a petition and an in vestigation Is made by the Rent Con- trol office.
 Tenants are likewise protected through Rent Control against un- warranted eviction. The OPA regu- 1ations read: You cannot be evicted solely because the landlord refuses to renew your lease as long as you are paying legal rent
 ''You may occupy your home on month-tO-mOnth basis during the entire period of rent control in this area if the landlord will not renew your lease in accordance with the requirements of the OPA rent regulation. Consult the Area Rent Office in your neighbOrhOOd if you are threatened with evic- tiOn."
 A spokesman for one of the larger realty firms in the city, expressed surprise that rider clauses were being used by some apartment house opera tors in this city.
 In New York City, Walter M. Hort, New York area rent director, said. "Tenants who refuse to sign

leaves appearing "~SSJ in groups of three. And both plants secrete 8 poisonous oil that may cause a severe skin eruption upon either direct or indirect contact. Clothing that has touched them, or smoke from burning plants may also carry the poisorls.
 Except for people who are par ticularly susceptible, immediate treatment after exposure to poison ivy or poison oak will often prevent reaction. Scrub the exposed skin with heavy suds made from yel- low laundry soap and water, using cloth instead of brush. Wash the parts with alcohol and rinse with water. Repeat the whole pro- cess five or six times. After a final rinse of clear water, pat the area dry.
 The symptoms of poisoning may appear from one to nine days after exposure. The skin becomes red and swollen and itches violently. Small blisters appear soon after this. A simple relief measure after the eruption occurs is paste made of shaved yellow laundry soap and water, applied in thick coasting to the parts affected. Cover 1t and al- low it to remain on overnight. Cloths wet with a strong solution of Epson salts and kept moist may give relief.
 Keep the eruption covered to pre- vent scratching and spreading the poison to other areas Extensive poisoning, especially on the face, neck and hands, should be treated by a doctor without delay.

can be easily planned to be an im- portant part of those daily esesn- tials. Another consideration is plan ming meals is that the people who do not get adequate desserts at meal- times are often the first ones to stuff themselves with sweets in one form or another. Therefore, it is much wiser to have desserts that contain desirable food values in ad- dition to the sweeten1ng that is us- ually associated with the happy ending" of a meal.

Springtime seems to make us think especially of sponge cake and fruits so don't forget to cater to those likes and dislikes when you plan your meals these dayso.
 Here is my favorite recipe for sponge cup cakes and I like to serve crushed strawberries right over the cake.

Wartime meals are apt to be 1,tonotonous and drab unless some imagination is used to lend variety. Everyday foods may be served in many new and interesting ways. The ingenious homemaker has learned to stretch point-rationed foods with those more readily avail able.
 Small amounts of ground meat or leftover chopped meat may be pre- pared in Q variety of tasty main dishea. A well-seasoned white sauce made with milk may be used as the basis for . meat and vegetable shOrtcake - fluffy biscuits topped with creamed meat and vegetables. Or the same creamed meat-vege- table mixture is delicious served on brcwned rice or toasted mullins or xUiIG.
 A nsw and unusual combination Uk these basic foods is Upside Down Meat Wufins served with 8 savory onion-horseradish sauce.

 Carrots and beets are on their way to this department. Two whop- ping crops of carrots, late winter one and an early spring one, have overlapped and will all be in mar ket in the next two months. The beet abundance will be 8 little more restrained, but about 40 per cent more are expected this spring than last. Many beets and carrots will have to be shipped topless to save containers and shipping space. De- partment of Agriculture experts say topless vegetables are as fresh and tender as those with leaves on.
 Even onions, main feature in the shortage department for some time, are expected to reach your market soon and in abundance.
 EARLY BIRD LOSES VITAMIN
 Don't fret if you can't afford those pale, out-of-season tomatoes in markets throughout early spring. They are one exception to the rule that raw vegetables have most to offer in vitamin value. Nutritionists say canned, sun-ripened tomatoes are much better value than the box-ripened expensive ones now sold fresh.

 I pulled up a chair beside Sgt. Morrie Ellis at one of the events in the Eastern Tournament, and found that his two years service nthe Army had not dulled his wits at the bridge table. I wonder how many of you would have made the two plays that Ellis made on today'S hand?
 The opening lead was won by East with the ace, and the deuce of hearts was returned. If Ellis had passed this second heart. he would have been defeated, because the opponents would shift to a spade. Elis realized this. and from the opening lead and the return of the deuce, he figured that both op- ponentS held four hearts. So he won the second trick and led the eight of clubs, taking the finesse. East won with the pack, and realiz1 ng that it was probably impossible to defeat the contract with heart lead, shifted to a spade.
 Elis won with the act, and now he did not cash his clubs. but first led Q small diamond to the queen and returned a diamond. East, hop

admitting his suggestion would start revolution" If adopted, pro- posed that farm prices be rolled back about 10 per cent and that no subsidies be paid"
 Barry said farm prices have in- creased 40 per cent since 1941 while living costs have risen 30 per cent, and that therefore 1t would be only fair to reduce farm prices accord ingly.
 He said farm prices generally are now 115 to IF per cent of parity, and that flor a long time have been laboring under the delusion that when a farmer got 100 per cent of parity he was getting the price he needed
 Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, opposing Barry's proposal, reminded him that farm production had increased 32 per cent during that period and that farmers would consider such cut poor reward for their efforts"

Juniors like, with rows of lace for tI bright red crepe printed with daisie to fit shorter waists and figures.
 JUST as many small women as J youngsters shop for Junior fash ions, and for the best of reasons. Junior" in fashion refers not only to age but to size, and Junior styles, because they are for small figures, are designed to 1t the shorter waist and shorter person.
 You who are very young can wear any of the Junior styles, though you'll probably prefer the sweetly simple type to the sophisti- cated. Those of us who are a little older should watch out for just one thing, according to a New York de- signer who is herself Junior size, and that's the type of skirt we choose. It's best to leave dirndl fullness to youngsters, with the ex- ception of ankle length dresses. Anyone looks right in bouffant evening dress, but the small worn- an, choosing dresses for business and street wear, will look for Junior styles with slightly draped skirts,

 This Summers Junior Miss prints meet all needs. ranging from the sash-tied kind of crepe pictured to- day, to the low-backed or backless jacket dress for dinner and cock tails. Plain back crepes and sheers suit either the young girl or young matron. Typical of these is a one piece style with v neck and a large pink rose at the center of the bodice.
 The office of fashion information of the New York Dress Institute reports a new size, g, in Junior fashions, and many new groups of clothes, including swim suits and coats.

 New York, April 21-The Paris fashion industry continues myster- iously to flourish after three years of German occupation.
 T1ie Rue de la Paix and the Fau- bourg Saint Honore are working al high pressure, creating styles as ex- travagantly luxurious as ever before although collections now are re- duced to twenty or thirty models as against two to three hundred in peacetime.
 There is 6 great scarcity of fab- rics and other materials. Houses bearing such world-known names at Patou, Lanvin, Paquin, Piguet and Alix actually are operating at less than one-tenth of their pre- war strength. But despite these factors and numerous restrictions imposed by the Germans, the in- gerIuity of the Paris creators is producing clothes the like of which have disappeared from the American scene.
 REASONS ARE RIDDLES
 These facts about the Haute Cou- ture of Paris I have learned from recent arrivals from France-in particular, from one fashion writer who was in the French capital as recently as last February.
 Unanswered riddles are why the German authorities gave the dress makers special concessions to keep the industry going .. why the Nazis close their eyes to the fact that certain liberties are being taken with yardage and other clothing regulations why it is possible for well-heeled Parisians to buy model dresses Cat staggering prices) without giving up clothing coupons while people of small incomes can- not afford to buy clothes elsewhere even with coupons.
 As far back as the fall of 1940, most of the Paris houses were al- lowed to reopen their doors. Despite the eilaotis conditions then ruling, collections were created and busi- ness resumed.
 DENIES COLLABORATION
 Whereas accusations of "collab- nration'' once were hurled at Paris couturiers, responsible Frenchmen now deny to me that the Paris cou- ture ever was directly influenced by the Mazis.
 German magazines were from the first forbidden to reproduce a single Paris model, and German buyers were not allowed to come to Paris to buy. This was in line with an edi- Gorial which appeared in "SignaP the official Nazi paper in Paris, soon after the occupation, decrying Paris fashions as decadent and de- generate and declaring that in the new Nazi-dominated world, the leading fashion centers would be Berlin and Vienna, with America continuing as the great mass pro- ducing center-the inference being that stylists and buyers from all over the world, including the United States, would once again flock to Europe for inspiration.
 BIG HATS A PROTEST
 ,The fact that more and more Frenchwomen are putting what money they have in the purchase of at least one good garment may be one reason why the couture is so busy. Before anyone, however, can obtain the coveted card which entities her to purchase in the Haute Couture, she must hand over one kilo-2 18th pounds - of yarn or scrap wool fabric. Until about year ago, every client was asked to give up two old gar- ments in exchange for a new one; thesasA were distributed to needy people through relief organiZa-
