MORE SALADS.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. C.. L. G.,
Glen Echo Heinhfs

In reply to Mrs. j. N. H., Silver
Spring, regarding salads, find my
best successes result in using left
overs. A cup of peas with a silver
Of onion mixed with your favorite
mayonnaise on a bed of lettuce is
often a time-saver. My husbands
favorite Is mixed vegetable salad
with everything slivered. This in
cludes a carrot or two, several rad
tshes, onion, green pepper, cabbage,
celery, cucumber and tomato on
leaf OF lettuce. My own tastes run
to a sweet salad. Any favored jello
with bits of sliced apples, oranges
or canned fruits when ration points
permit. A sweet salad is timely
when a dessert budget is limited. I
picked up a salad at random in the
cafeteria this past week. 1t consist
ed of cole slaw on grapefruit Sec
tions, surrounded by orange wedges
all this on a bed of watercress.
Then, too, there is the Waldorf
salad of 2 cups of unpeeled cubes
of red apples to / cup chopped Gel
cry. This serves four. My 10-year-
old nephew baked at the following
salad, but upon urging tried it gin
gerly and ended up by scrambling
for the last shred of lettuce. A slice
of pineapple when you can get it,
topped with cottage cheese. Mix the
salad dressing with juice Of the
fruit little for thinning. This was
topped with a maraschino cherry
as special"
Sometimes about 3 or cooked
pitted prunes stuled with cream
cheese Softened with top cream with
a pecan adds little something to
a meal. That goes for any cooked
fruit. Or celery after it has all the
string we'll removed, stuffed with
cream cheese blends with any kind
of meat and vegetables. I haven't
given any definite recipes-just
few ideas. And if stuffed olives can
be obtained-a few of them added
to the dressing gives a piquant
flavor. Or sometimes bit of catsup
added to mayonnaise gives the va
riety meal needs.

Curtain Counter
By Dorothy Bihlman

BiIlowy curtains are the first sign
Of spring! Although the shops aren't
as full Of snowy drifts Of sheer drap-
cries as they used to be before "you
know what" still those that are on
display make one quickly forget the
gray winter days and look forward to
the soft breezes CD of early summer.
It's a little too soon to obtain a
definite picture Of the curtain
counter supply. but to date you'll
find the old standbys, white. egg
shell and ecru-those that 90 well
with any background-are coming
in again this year. So far the pastel
tinted curtains are definitely in the
minority. Styles, too. are on the
palmer side, with tailored varieties
leading the field. Thrifty housewives
will like the double life" curtain
which actually plays a double role
in two ways. In the first role 1t has
a heading at the top and bottom
for the curtain rod. 1t Is suggested
that the curtains be turned upside
down after each washing. In this
way the part which gets the most
wear cat sill height where the ali
blows through the open window is
reversed often enough so that wear
and tear is distributed. The second
role is that these curtains may be
used tied back or left straight. This
is unusual for most ruffed curtains
No matter what type Of curtains
you finally choose, take special care
of them, for on the whole they are
hard to get and are more expensive
than in previous years. In the past
we assumed that putting them up
and taking them down, Plus fre-
ouent launderings, led to curtain
ruin in the early stages, but through

dish washing, which have to be
done over and over again?
Washing breakfast dishes used to
be the lowest point, mentally and
spiritually, for me. I remember
picking up one dish which always
seemed to turn up at every meal,
glaring at it and muttering to my
self, Did I spend time and money
going to college and perfecting my
self in a profession, only to spend
the next 40 years washing this
platter?" And I smashed the un-
offending crockery!
Well, have found solution for
mel in the following consoling
thought: MY hands have to wash
dishes but I don't have to use my
soul for a dish mop" And I have
found that period IS the best one in
which to straighten out my thoughts
for the day. I definitely choose q
subject in which to ponder-not
world shaking problems nor the
worries Of daily living. but some
simple, philosophical thought, some
book or article I have read, some
pleasant experience, music I have
heard, etc. For this Is minutes I
deliberately shut out everything
that is troubling me and lose my
self in meditation.
My hands go on and perform their
task at least as efficiently as before
and afterward other things seem to
regain their true perspective. find

rant for Shrimp Remoulade":
Boil shrimp with the proper sea-
sonings of salt, pepper, lemon Juice
and bay leaf. Peel and set aside to
cool. Then prepare French dress
ing Of four parts of pure olive OIL
and one part tarragon vinegar and
pour this over the shrimp after hav-
ing placed them in bowl. Add a
spoonful of Creole mustard and
some minced celery and green
onions. Mix all together in the
bowl and place in refrigerator to
cool. Serve when thoroughly cold.
I have prepared quick-frozen
shrimp in this manner satisfactorily
and cider vinegar can be substituted
if YOU have no tarragon. I have
never been able to get Creole mus
tard up here. but strong horse
radish mustard is acceptable. OF
course, each substitution detracts
from the final sharply seasoned ef-
feet desired.

REMOVING WHITE SPOTS.
Thanks to Mrs. E. F. NJ,


I have found this method of re-
moving white marks from furniture
extremely good. Aged marks on
Furnished apartment" tables have
responded.
Use vegetable oil and table salt.
Olive oil if possible, although corn,
cottonseed or peanut Oil give the
same results. Pour a good amount
of oil on the spot. Pour table salt
generously over it. With a soft
cloth scrub the salt into the mark,
working with the grain Of the wood,
Add more salt if the salt becomes
wet with oil About 3 parts OF salt
to one of oil. I have used my finger
tips for the scrubbing and prefer
this method, although it can't be
used on a large spot. Use a clean
oil-dipped cloth to remove the salt.
One more item: Commercial furni-
ture oils won't work, they are too
thin.
We used this on an old dining

Degrading Medical Education
New York Times

At its recent session the State Legislature passed
the Mimoe bill which would make it possible Tor
anyone who has received the degree OF Bachelor or
Doctor of Medicine from medical school in this
country and who has served nine months rs IN

examination medicine and, he passes, to receive
license to practice At stroke the work OF the
late Dr. William WEIGH, DR.. Abraham FleXner and
the American Medical Association is to be undone
Thanks to their efforts best medical schools have
few equals anywhere in the world. II the Governor
should sign the Milmoe bill, the diploma mills that
withered and died would revive and physicians would
have to fight again battle which they thought they
had won
The supposed justification for the Milmoe bill is
an undenable shortage of physicians But this should
not be made excuse for lowering standards OF
medical education. Under the pressure OF war our
medical schools have already curtailed courses and
done away with long vacations. We ought not go
beyond this and open the doors wide to the practice
of medicine by who would be weeded out IN a
wear by any of the firstcass schools Whatever our
medical situation may be, it is not SO low that we
must accept an incompetent who has managed TO
obtain degree from second or thlrd-rate medical
