Lynn Says:
Easier:
DiShwaShins

Make Dishwashing Easier:
Stunt ishy odors on dishes by
washing them in soapy water to
which some vinegar has been
added. Rinse dishes in hot vine
gar water, also.
Hot, soapy water is indicated
for greasy dishes; cold water for
egg, starchy and milky dishes.
Scrape dishes before starting to
wash and have a strainer in the
sink to collect all leftovers. It's
much easier than scooping them
up out Of the water.
Stack dishes csrefully before
washing. 1t won't seem like you
have so many. and there's less
chance of their breaking.
China can be allowed to dry by
itself on a dish rack, but glasses,
silver and cutlery should be
wiped Immediately after wash
ing.
Make sure you have plenty Of
good absorbent dish towels
handy. Use paper toweling for
hands to save cloth towels.

Telephone Extension Sets
Won't Be Available Soon

The day of telephone in every
room Of a home stin is far of
despite the lifting Of Government
restrictions on telephone service.
An official Of the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. pointed out
it has backlog Of $1,000 requests
for new service alone, most of which
is being held up for lack of instru-
ments. Extension service to regu-
lar customers cannot be expected
until after new service installations
are made, he said. The company
could give no date other than "as
early as possible in 1896"
The company also has been faced
with a shortage of central Office
and cable facilities. People realized
the reasons for not getting service
during the war and accepted the
situation with understanding and
good grace" the official said.
