Letters to The Star
Proper Home Training Urged
for Young Girls

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Recent articles emerging as repercus-
sions Of the Berrum murder are most
interesting to the mother OF teen-age
girl
! should like to take issue with DR..
Ray Everett, who appears to lay the
responsibility for delinquency on the
shoulders of the Government and ad-
yocates the return home of all Govern
ment girls under 2O This seems most
unfair, illogical and singularly naive
for doctor who must have been ex-
posed to psychology.
Eighteen and 10 year old girls are
young to be without some supervision.
Eowever, If they are not sufficiently
schooled In proper conduct to behave
themselves at that age, they are not
likely to accept supervision at home
or abroad. Because one girl goes down
to the corner OF Tenth and D streets,
evidently welcoming a pickup" does
not prove that all girls are SO lacking
in discrimination. II this girl really
had intended to meet her "girl friend"
there was nothing to prevent her
waiting for her. While Tenth and b
streets is no place for young woman
not looking for trouble to be standing
at 8 pm, 1t is sufnciently well populated
to prevent any man forcing a girl to
accompany him II she wished to
protest.
But If girl is going to pick a man
up, or allow him to pick her up, in
Washington, she probably would do
the same thing in her home town. Small
towns and other cities have their own
percentage of crime and delinquency.
A properly raised girl does not do
these things, and an improperly raised
one will do them anywhere. Parents,
not the Government, are responsible
for seeing that their children are well,
yet not unreasonably, disciplined; that
they are taught right from wrong, and
that they cultivate sense Of respon-
sibility to the world in which they live
and to which they are contributing
factor. If child is taught these things
until she is 18, she will survive the
vice. of Washington.

Thinks Communists Clever

n1nkS Communists AeVer
To the Editor Of The Star:
II conditions under President Hoover
were conducive to communism as the
New Dealers contend, and If the elec-
ton of Gov. Dewey will bring back
these conditions, as the New Dealers
also contend, then how is 1t that the
Communists are "all out" for the re-
election Of President Roosevelt? The
Communists may be short-sighted, but
not to that extent.
The truth of the matter is: The Com
munists well know the conditions under
which communism best can be pro-
NOTED. They know that confusion af-
fords the best opportunity-at least
confuse and overthrow" has been their
holy slogan. And they also know that
the New Deal has been the greatest
promoter of confusion in the Nations
history The Communists are not 60
ing to thwart themselves They know
where the best pasture lies.

Dewey Blamed for "Abuse"

DeWey Drained IOT ADuSS
To the Editor of The Star
Governor Dewey's campaign so far
must be very disappointing to the men,
bers of the Old Guard and other con-
servative followers. He practically has
endorsed all of the reforms of the New
Deal as we'll as. the foreign policies of
the administration.
In regard to the home front, he
seems not to discuss vital issues in
which the people are interested, but
deals in personalities and abuse of the
labor unions and the Communists,
which is unjust and largely untrue.
Though lacking in experience, both in
the foreign field as well as on. the home
front, he thinks he could do a better
job than the President, who has spent
almost lifetime in solving problems
in both categories.

Field Flowers Make Effective
Bridal HeaddreSS And Bouquet
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Stat Writer

Towering fields and gardens,
cendors' stalls, and Icy vaults are
being raided to make headdresses
and bouquets for June brides.
"Such a BRIDE" says a girl IN
the know-she's JUL Bernhardt, q
John Powers model who gives
brides-to-be glorifled versions Of
themselves UP and down fashion
ramps, wears an informal sum-
merry dress; limits jewelry to a
diamond ring or locket; does her
hair ever so simply"
If you're going to be that kind
Of a bride, JUL can give you other
pointers; how to make headdress
and matching bouquet, like those
she models, out Of common garden
variety daisies or white field flowers.
String your poSies on picture
wire, she says, using enough to
make long chain Of posies. Wind
wire around the neck of each bios
som, spacing flowers apart at even
ly-measured lengths. After wind
ing, cut stems short, Then, bend
wire into a becoming headdress. 1t
can be coronet with flowers massed
in the center. Or you can make a
circular loop for the center Of the
head and carry one end Of the wire
down to border the side of your face.
For the bouquet, cut stems OF
flowers in varying lengths and wrap
short piece Of wire around the
bunch Just beneath the heads Of
the shortest blossoms.

Iced Coffee HeraIdS Summer
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

Hot days seem to call for tall
glasses Of iced coffee. To get
the best results pour fresh, hot,
double-strength coffee right over
ice cubesl Make the hot coffee by
your favorite method, taking all
your usual precautions of measur-
ing coffee and water accurately in
to a very clean pot. Use 4 level
tablespoons Of coffee for each cup
Of water. Pour the hot, freshly
made coffee into tall glasses filled
with ice. The double-strength cof-
fee will make up for the dilution
caused by the melting ice.
Sometimes it's not convenient
to make iced coffee by the above
method. In some cases 1t may be
necessary for you to pour pre-
cooled coffee over the ice cubes.
In that case, make regular
strength coffee, using Q level Ia
blespoons for every cup Of water.
When coffee Is made, pour 1t into
a tightly-covered glass jar, cool,
and place 1t in the refrigerator.
To serve, pour the cold coffee into
tall glasses half filled with ice.
If you like coffee flavor, here's
a treat.
Coffee Parfalt
Two-thirds cup evaporated milk,
IA teaspoons unflavored gelatin,
cup strong coffee, 1-2 cup sugar,
la teaspoon salt, 2 egg whites, well
beaten.
Chill evaporated milk several
hours in the refrigerator. Soften

Whip evaporated milk and fold
into mixture. Four into quart re-
frigerator tray, and freeze until
set. Remove from tray to bowl,
beat well, and return to tray to
finish freezing. Yield: quart.
If ice cream is not to be served
as soon as frozen, remove tray to

ment where temperature is not so

should give him the privacy of

includes small table chest OF

able to sit up, an armchair whit
a high back and a footstool of
some kind will be needed. A screen
to protect him from drafts is use
ful.
If the illness is q communicable
disease, all furniture should be
thoroughly scrubbed after the
patient RECEIVERS; therefore use
only what can be cleaned. Hard
floors are more sanitary than

When In doubt, can tomatoes.
These are the beginners best bet
and the experienced Gamers old
friend. Furthermore, they do not
require a pressure Gamer. The
boiling water bath method is safer,
easier, and anyone can make a
water bath If one is not available
otherwise.
The new folder Home Canning
Of Fruits and Vegetables" by the
Bureau of Human Nutrition and
Home Economics, gives these new
instructions.
/. Look over every tomato. Use
only the ripe. firm, and perfect.
Even If you cut out a bad spot, bac-
terra may be left and ruin the
whole batch
2. Wash tomatoes clean in several
waters. Prepare only enough for one
Gamer load at time.
8. Put tomatoes in a wire basket
or thin cloth. Dip into boiling
water about a minute, then quickly
into cold for easy peeling.
4. Peel and cut out stem ends.
Quarter the tomatoes so they'll heat
through quickly.
S. Heat tomatoes in their own
juice. Stir while they heat, and
let them come to rolling boil
Meantime heat clean jars and lids.
6. When ready to pack, take
one Jar at a time from hot water.
Fill with hot tomatoes. A funnel
is handy. Cover with hot Juice to
1-2 inch OF top.
7. Add salt--a teaspoon to each
quart. Work fast, so tomatoes won't
cool.
8. Work out air bubbles with a
knife blade. Add more Juice, if
needed.
8. Wipe jar rim with a clean
damp cloth A speck of food on
the rim may prevent an alright
seal, and cause tomatoes to spoil.
TO- Fit hot wet rubber ring on
glass lid.
II. Set glass lid rubber side
down on jar, so that rubber ring AMI
jar rim are in contact.
IL. Screw metal band on tight.
Then, using your thumb as a
guide, turn back almost a quarter
turn, so that band and jar just
mesh together. Put jars in Gamer
as soon as filled.

over tops. Put on Gamer lid,
