Peocetime QuoIity Of Gas
Will be Restored Shortly

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-P)
That unratoned gasoline soon
will be back to pre-war quality.
Enough materials are. avail
able, the Petroleum Administra-
ton for War reported today, to
return to peacetime octane rat
ings.
This will mean easier start
ing, especially in cold weather,
and less motor pinging and
knocking.
Peacetime quality standards
will be reestablished as soon as
required refining and distribu-
ton adjustments can be made,
Ralph K. Davies, deputy PAW
Administrator said.
The quality of civilian gasoline
has declined appreciably since
the beginning of the war, largely
because tetraethyl was needed
for production Of 100-octane avi-
alton gasoline.
Maximum rating for premium
gasoline now is rs, a drop OF
two to four points, while regu-
lar gasoline has 70-octane rat
ing. This compares with IA to
rs before the war.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 -
(P)-All Americans seem likely
10 get a cut in their income tax
es after January l. Perhaps sew
eral million Will have 10 pay no
income taxes al all next year.
Congress is coming back Sep
TENDER ) in a taX-cutting mood.
Some of the best Informed tax
experts in Washington think a
reduction in personal income
taxes will be enacted before
Christmas-with administration
approval if the cut isn't too
drastic.
The expected reduction pro-
badly would be only moderate
for most taxpayers. The man
earning a lot of money would
have a smaller percentage cut
off his taxes than the fellow
making $35 a week.
People in the lowest income
group would be the ones whose
income taxes might be wiped
out entirely.
A survey Of Congressional and
other tax authorities today pro-
duced the following picture:
!. No tax reductions are like
" on 1945 income. The expect
ed cut would feit-fiFst
smaller payroll reductions start
ing January I. 1t would not af-
feet the filing of 1945 income
tax returns next March Is.

as alcoholic beverages, furs,

phone calls will drop back down

this termination does not occur

so declares. There is no indica-
ton yet when such a declara-
ton might Gomez
3. The 95 per cent excess pro-
fits tax on corporations Is sure
to be killed. Nobody loves it
now. The only question is whe-
Their to do it next January / or
later.
The size Of any reduction in
the personal income tax will be
settled in Congress, maybe aft
er a knock down fight.
The House Ways and Means
Committee plans 10 whip togeth-
er a tax bill this fall, although
there won't be time before Jan
uary to cover every phase of
the subject.
The administration certainly
will oppose any drastic slash in
the income taN-feF-HeNtt year
But there are strong signs the
administration will not oppose
moderate reduction-for ex.
ample, repeal of the normal
tax"
This normal tax-3 per cent
Of net income-used to be call
ed the Victory tax" 1t was
originally passed as a wartime
measure, and at that time had
a provision for automatic ter
mination. The Treasury opposed
the "Vietery Tax" In the first
place.
If the normal tax" were re-
pealed. what is known as the
"surtax" would be the only in
come tax left.
A man with wife and one
child, earning $4,000 year.
would see his tax drop from
$311 to S244. That's a cut of
over 20 per cent.
II he earns $4,000, his tax
would decrease from 1921 to
$427-- or 10 per cent.
On an income Of, say. $4,000
the reduction would be less than
10 per cent.
To put it on a weekly basis, a
man with wife and one child,
earning up to around $50 a
week, would see his withholding
tax disappear.
If he makes $35 a week, his
withholding tax would drop
from S1.30 to 60 cents. If he has
an income OF $50 a week, the
tax would decrease from S4.40
to $3.50; income Of $40, from
$3.50 to ST; income of Sl00,
from $3.50 to $500.

Suggests

Here's one from the old days of
plenty-that seem to be coming our
way once more!
Broil a thick beefsteak until it is
nearly tender. Then cover it with
well-drained, plump oysters and dot
them with butter. Bake the steak
and oysters in a moderate oven
until the oysters are swollen and
the edges slightly curled. Then
season them with salt, pepper and
plenty Of lemon juice.
Serve the combination with lemon
butter to which a couple of table
spoons of minced watercress have
been added. ts-
This is particularly recommended

Pumpkin
Pie

There are various schools Of
thought, where pumpkin pie Is con-
cerned. Some women make it with
sieved squash (the winter variety,
Of course) but still call it pumpkin
pie The seasonings may vary, and
the filling may be sweetened with
honey or molasses in place of part
of the sugar. But always, the filling
should be- smooth and spicy.
No matter how perfect the filling
may be-the pie cannot be a COM
plete success unless the crust is
delicately Drowned, flaky and crisp
meltingly tender. OF course, we still
need to be careful in our use Of all
cooking fats; the supply Is not large
enough to excuse any extravaganza
A one-crust pie such as pumpkin
pie is, therefore, a good choice
right now.

too shallow. have large plant in
pot 9 inches high by 8 inches in
diameter, and that isn't any too big.
I would also separate the plants,
having only one in pot so the roots
won't be crowded. This plant doesn't
need the sun; merely a good amount
of light. Try repotting the plant in
some good fresh earth obtained
from florist, but inspect the earth
for worms, as they do considerable
damage to the plant, and the dam
age shows up in the leaves, which
start to turn brown at the edges.
My plant takes a large soda water
bottle of water poured in all at once
Let the plant alone without water
ing until the earth feels almost dry
| to the touch. then water the full
amount again. This is the best
method to water most household
plants because if you water in drib-
lets every day without having the
water penetrate deep down to the
roots. the roots tend to rise to the
top where the water is and this
makes for very weak plant. It's
also helpful to wet piece of cotton
batting and 60 over the leaves once
week; it provides moisture and
cleans the leaves.

HOW 1t Started

There are all sorts of legends at
tached to the matter of how butter
came into being. Some. say that
primitive man discovered that when
a gourd of sour milk was shaken by
high winds, while it hung in the
branches Of a tree to keep wild
dogs from getting at it, butter
formed-and primitive man found it
good. More, romantic, however, is
this story:
1t Is told that an Aryan horseman
and his companions riding in haste
to escape their enemies across the
plains of Central Asia, stopped for
short breather at noon to rest
their horses and refresh themselves.
Our particular horseman dis
mounted along with the others, and
united the goatSkin that was on his
horses back and which he had
filled before taking flight, with rich,
sour milk, so well liked by ancient
savage tribesmen. When he opened
the goatSkin, he was amazed to find
that there was little creamy LIQUID
in the bag-instead, it was filled
with a whey-ish substance in which
f1oated particles of yellow fat.
Like the man who ate the first
oyster, our tribesman was both Gu
rious and brave. He tasted the yel-
low stuff He like it. He persuaded
his friends to taste it, too, and they
approved. But, of course, it didn't
occur to them to put it on bread
They ate it in handfuls, "as was"
and then, very properly, drank the
buttermilk that remained in the
goatskin.
When the men reached their own
village, they did a good deal of talk
ing about this remarkable new food.
They put boys on fast horses, tied
skins of sour milk to the saddles
and sent the lads racing madly
around and around the village until
the butter was churned. Everybody
got in on the fun and word spread
far and wide about the wonderful
substance. Gradually, the tribes
began to find new uses for it and as
the women worked themselves into
the project butter began to be used

From Mrs. E. L. w., Washington. J
To Mrs. J. e. S., Arlington: am

With one. I wash dishes once a day,
while I am doing other kitchen
chores. I keep my hands out of hot,
soapy water, and am not everlast-
ingly annoyed by having soiled
dishes in sight, or clamoring for at
tention. I rinse them as soon as
they are used, put them in the ma
chine and forget them until it is
convenient to get at them. The
psychological effect on busy house.

washes and rinses dishes much
cleaner than manual washing and

3 wen-beaten eggs. A little lemon

Of bacon and cut It in tiny slivers
to crisp. Add the bacon, with the
onion and pepper, to about 8 cups
Of dry bread crumbs and season well
with salt, pepper, a little thyme and
a bit Of chervil or marjoram. Now
add a quart OF chopped oysters with
u cup OF the oyster liquor and mix
well.
Another unusual stuning uses the
turkey giblets with wild rice. This
is rather expensive, but well worth
the cash outlay.
Cook the wild rice according to
directions on the package in boil
ing salted water, until 1t is tender.
Drain it well. It must not be soggy
Chop up the giblets, a large onion
and Glove Of garlic and saute
them in three or four tablespoons
of fat. When nicely Drowned, add
them to the Wild rice, along with
the pan juices. Stir in a tablespoon
of chopped watercress or parsley
watercress is better-salt, pepper, a
little thyme and some rosemary, If
you have it. Last OF all, add u
cup of broken walnut or pecan
meats and mix all well. This is q
honey.
There are, of course, a number
of other very good stufnngs to be
found In the standard cook books.
Among these / recommend pecan,

being about the best. The main
thing is to have your bread crumbs

AUTOMATIC WASHER.
From Mrs. r. F., SilDer SPRING.
(Answer to Mrs. j. l.. S. In regard
to the automatic washer.)
I have used an automatic washer
for six years and I am convinced 1t
lis the only kind to buy. Clothes
can be washed clean, provided they
are put through the complete cycle.
I find it necessary to soak the
clothes, as the lukewarm water
loosens the dirt, which hot water
will not do in any kind of washer.
Before putting the clothes in the
machine, always check each piece,
emptying pockets and at that time
rub dirty sleeves and collar bands
and spots with a hand brush, which
I dip in a solution of powdered soap
and water, the consistency of sham
poo.
At this same time tie mems shirt
sleeves in a loose knot at the elbows,
as we'll as belts or anything which
may become tangled.
Contrary to what many people be-
lieve, this machine does not use any
more soap and water then any other
type. Soapy water can be caught
in a tub as the machine empties
and reused to wash colored socks
and pieces which fade.
The automatic washer does away
with wash day, as load can be
done in IS minutes any time, day
or night. There is no accumulation
of dirty clothes.
To get the best out of your ma
chine is to know what makes 1t
work and how, keep the drain clean,
don't overload it and always put 1t
through a complete cycle.
