When cooking smothered chops.
try adding l or bouillon cubes to
the gravy for better flavor. Also
good for gravies that seem a little
flavorless.
To those housekeepers new at the
art trom one not far removed ::
Always wash spinach, berries, etc.
by placing in large pan (dishpan
is fine) of cold water. The spinach
or berries stay on top-dirt goes to
bottom. Two or three changes does
perfect job If you will do a little
sWlshing with your hands.

Having a 22-month child who
also likes attention and becomes
easily bored / wish to offer a few
suggestions to Mrs. C. F. I have
learned that my child enjoys any
thing that her parents do. When
she gets in my way I let her
"help"-let her dry plastic dishes
or old mayonnaise jars when 1 do
the dishes-give her a dust cloth
to dust the furniture-give her q
few things to put on the table for
dinner-give her comb and a
bobby pin to fix her hair, even a
flower like mothers. Since she pre-
fers anything but her toys at times
/ allow one desk drawer filled with
things that obviously aren't toys
such as writing paper, poker chips,
playing cards, etc. Other interest
ing items are old shoes to lace,
empty food boxes to fill with odds
and ends, mail-order catalogues,
old clothes of mothers to dress up
in, etc. Although at this age chill
dren don't play too we'll with 9TH
ers, they do get ideas from being
with them-when they see other
children enjoying their toys they
begin to play with them, too.
Having had no experience with
"head-banging" I can offer no sug-
gestion
The Clearing House is wonder
fully helpful and interesting, Nav
l add another idea. My walls and
doors become very dirty from pencil
marks, finger smudges, etc. To re-
move them without leaving a mark
or light spot 1 rub the marks with
colorless liquid obtained for 10
cents at a dime store. 1t really does
the trick.

unhealthy hates and fears of their constituents. But under the urge fur
nished by their heroic part in the war, w finally did repeal the Chinese
Exclusion Act. The 15 Orientals may freely enter-no evil threatens
to befall us.
Now that this great venture has been made, our minds naturally
turn to further measures in the same direction. The people of India are

ton.
News from Italy about the character of the American soldiers of
Japanese ancestry leads inevitably to carrying this thought one step
further. Our japanese citizens have given a good account of themselves

land. We shall be acting in our best tradition if, later O when Japan
