TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
OVERLOOKED JAM?
THANKS to Mrs. E. L. G.,
TdkOmd Park

The purpose of this letter is to
pass along a couple of ideas have
found helpful, and to ask some ad-
vice for neighbor. First the ideas
The little wartime waterproof Grill
sheets which so soon outlive their
original purpose are dandy for
wrapping the laundry after 1t is
sprinkled for ironing.
Banana flakes which become har-
dened because of the humidity can
be restored to flakiness by rubbing
on . crater. Very simple!
Now that the green pepper, Gu
cumber and cantaloupe seasons are
at their height, perhaps other read
ers who have had to forego the de-
lights of these garden Joys will find
these suggestions helpful in avoiding
distress after eating them. In the
case OF green peppers, If the seeds
are discarded, and every trace OF the
white meat that divideds the seq
ments is cut away, the remainder
can be used freely either raw or
cooked without distress. In the case
of cantaloupes, after removing the
seeds, the seed pocket should be
Iscraped lightly so that not trace
of the fibrous tissue remains. And
as for cucumbers, simply slice with
out peeling. This latter is a far cry
from our grandmothers' practice OF
soaking them in salt water for hours
to remove the poison" but 1t works,
besides adding vitamins contained In
the skin of the cucumber.
And now for the request: The
other day I saw neighbor in the
act of putting glasses of blackberry
jam into the trash box. She ex-
planned that she had cooked It too
long, and it was as hard as rubber
BE of good cheer" quoth I. I'll
bet some one in the Clearing House
can tell you what to do to redeem
| it." She said she was too disguised
even to bother writing, so I'm writ
ing for her. How about it, neigh
bors?
The head of the house prepared
the following reply to recent in
quiry, and neglected to type it up
promptly. Hope you can still use it.

I thought I knew how, but I
didn't, SO I'm turning to the readers

various types OF fish the family

I went on fishing trip and caught
q number Of hardheads, trout and

trying to clean these lovely. fresh

recognized them by the time I was
through hacking. Is there a secret
to cleaning fish? II so, certainly
could use some information on the
subject. A play-by-play description

Id like to add my opinion to

that the crux of the situation lies
in ones definition of a date" It

no reason In the world why a wom-

to 60 home with the feeling that
she has all but stabbed her soldier
husband in the back. A woman with
intelligence, and sincerely in love
with her husband, should certainly
be able to enjoy another mans COM
pany without danger Of complica-
lions developing. True. in a case
like this it's a matter Of know
myself" Mrs o. T. is the person
who can best decide as to the degree
of emotional stability in her char
acter, and also the degree Of her
susceptibility to the opposite sex. II

readers will be able to help me with
my year-old baby girl.
Since my daughter was 6 months
old she has screamed whenever left
alone a minute. It isn't just with
me but Is the same no matter who
leaves her. As soon as she finds her
self alone she drops all her toys and
screams as II her heart would break.
She entertains herself all right while
people are within sight. She goes
to bed alone in her room without
much fuss and will play in her crib
fairly well. She isn't walking but
likes to have people hold her hands
while she tries. She has always been
well and doesn't seem to have a
mean disposition.
have been advised to let her cry
| it out because 1t is the general opin-
ion that she is spoiled. I have left
her alone by the hour while 60
about the house doing my work.
Every minute of the time she has
screamed and sobbed, working her
self up so that 1t takes me another
hour to calm her down. In this hot
weather she gets bad case of heat
rash along with an upset nervous
system.
She has always had older people
around to do for her and make over
her. so I really believe she is spoiled
badly. would like to tell relatives
and friends to leave her alone, but
unless I want hurt feelings and in
dignation I can't do it. I want peo-
pie to like her, but doubt that they
will for very long at this rate. She
is very friendly with people and I
hate to cut her of from them.

business, but am hoping for some
advice from some OF your readers
who have overcome a similar prob
lem.

Great Falls of the Potomac is one
Of the outstanding beauty-spots
of the East, and that it surpasses
in charm anything found close by
the capital of any other nation.
The proposal to develop power on
the Potomac, which has been talked

again. That would sacrifice the
beauty of all that section of the

against the proposed dams would

Though a plain waffle is always
popular, one made with cheese is

Glenmont Homemakers
Double Membership

Eighteen women and eighteen
children met at the home of Mrs.
Paul Stadler on January Ia when
Mrs. Stadler and Mrs. John Mach
mer were hostesses to the Glen
mont Homemaker Club.
This group almost doubled its
membership that day due to the
interest aroused in making toys for
the kindergarten at Glenmont
School. At 1890 very beautiful
luncheon was served by the hos
tesses. Mrs. Stadler was dietitian
for several years at Allies Inn so
you can imagine what delicious
luncheon it was.
Mrs. Machmer had each guests
place at the table marked with a
pattern for a tiny felt lapel orna-
ment. Mrs. Methenie presented
the Home Demonstration Agent
with very lovely doll made from
walnut, to add to her Christmas
kit collection for another year.
Peter Stadler was host in his
playroom 10 the younger genera
ton, while the club meeting was
being carried on during the after
noon. He later said "there were
hundreds and hundreds of people
at our house today"
The finished toys that were
brought in by club members were
as follows:
3 little black rag dolls made from
socks, made by Mrs. Oberlin, Mrs.
Stadler and Mrs. Frank Roth.
1 clown doll made from mans
white sock, by Mrs. S. W. Haines.
/ Dutch doll made from mans
white sock, by Mrs. VIM. Covert.
Stuffed animals brought in were
kitten made by Mrs. Roth; a lamb
by Mrs. Xander and a giraffe and
two stick horses by Mrs. John KEEL
elmer. Mrs. Roth also made very
beautiful IL inch cloth ball. The
kindergarten mothers, some of
whom are members of the club, re-
ported they had made over 800
blocks for their kindergarten at
school.
This is the youngest homemaker
group in the county and it certain
ly is off to a good start with this
community work. Mrs. Norman
Oberlin is President, Mrs. S. w.
Haines, vice president; Mrs. Edna
Benton and Mrs. Frank Roth, secre-
taries and Mrs. C. w. Xander
treasurer. The group is meeting in
small numbers each week to work
on toys or to make over inner
spring units of overstuffed furni-
ture and they hope to have Mrs.
Walter Pack get them started on
hooking rugs in the near future.
The majority of the members are
new people in the county and they
are finding they are living in a
very friendly neighborhood due TO
their club group.
