'DegreIIe Kidnop Attempt
In Spain Is FoiIed

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, July 30.-An attempt to
kidnap Leon Degrelle, Belgian Fas-
cist leader, from a military hospital
in San Sebastian has been foiled by
Spanish police, an official source
said last night.
Guards have been increased at the
hospital, where Degrelle has been
interned since his collarbone was
broken in the forced landing of a
German plane bringing him from
Norway.
Authorities said the kidnap plot
apparently was engineered by enc
mics of Degrelle, who planned to
take the Belgian rexist for one
way ride across the French frontier .
and not by any friends hoping to
save him from possible danger.

There will be less reconversion
this year than has been advertised
If the Japs continue to fight, and
civilians likely will be disappointed
with the comparatively small
amounts of goods made available
to them.
Principal reasons for this are con-
tinued heavy military requirements
for light-gauge steel sheet, used
to make automobiles, refrigerators
and most other types Of durable
consumer goods; the great shortage
of lumber, and the increasing diff

ent from one where people work
regular hours, so if your household
is one of these, be prepared to
change your mode of living for the

Glue bright piece of linoleum
over the old worn top of a card
table.
Baking soda is one of the best
known agents for cleaning glass
ware.
1t is easier to wash a large
amount of slightly soiled clothes
than few very dirty ones.
When shaking small throw
rug, hold by the sides. If held by
the ends, the weight of the
rug pulls the threads apart.
Coffee grounds make a good
sweeping compound for use in the
basement.
When boiling cauliflower, place
in kettle with head downward.
Scum rising to the top of kettle
will not then settle on flowers and
diScolor them.
Clean your brick hearth by first
scrubbing with a stiff brush and
hot soapy water. Rinse clean and
wipe dry. Let stand a day and
then coat with boiled linseed oil.
When washing walls, start at
the bottom, instead of at the top;
then if you spill any of the
cleaning fluid on the wall it will
not spot, as otherwise.
If heavy furniture must be
moved and there is no second per-
son to help, this is satisfactory
way to do it. There is little lifting,
and there will be no scratches on
the floor. Lift furniture onto an
old rag rug or sack. Then pull
it over to where you want it to be.

Stunted and diseased little bodies
are common.
Wheat is the principal food sup
piled by the United States, although
great quantities of meat, dried vege-
tables, and powdered eggs and
milk are also sent. Coal, petroleum,
ard many other essentials are also
being shipped to help rehabilitate
this stricken country. Great Britain
is providing some of these goods.
The U. S. army service forces, in
conjunction with British army units,
handle the transportation, warehous-
ing and distribution of these sup
plies.
The amount of wheat and flour dis
patched to Italy is approaching a
million tons. Much of it is of the
"hard-milling' varieties, used in
manufacture of spaghetti, and the
long twisted loaves of Italian bread
The Italians, like the French, de-
pend upon breadstuffs for their basic
food requirements to a greater ex-
tent than most other peoples.
AS soon as possible, Italian farm
ers will be assisted to resume pro-
duction on as large a scale as they
can. American seed, fertilizer and
machinery will be provided.

Dean of Railroad
Women Retires
after 81 Years

II AVING fulfilled a vow she
L / made to herself nearly 81
years ago to make good {.
keep this job," Miss Katherine
Loretta Council, believed dean
of American railroad women, re-
tired from her Union Pacific job
December IS.
1t was on March S, 1891, that Miss
Cornell went to work in Omaha for
the U. P. as freight car mileage
clerk at S35 a month. 1T was a
very comfortable salary in those
days." she smiled.
She has worked for the same rail-
road ever since, rising from grade
to grade until she became assistant
head clerk in the statistical bureau
of the auditor of equipment service
accounts.
Miss Connell went to work for the
Union Pacific as the result of a
promise made by S. H. H. Clark,
president of the system in 1891, to
her father, Patrick Connell.
Connell and Clark We're brake
men on a railroad in Tennessee be-
fore the Civil war. Mustered out in
1865, they parted company. In 1869
they met quite by accident in
Omaha. Connell was jobless, Clark
was a yards official. Connell was
hoping to find work SO he could
marry an Omaha woman widowed
with two little children.
Clark suggested an immediate
marriage, and obtained a job for
Cornell. In November, 1869, Cornell,
as section foreman, took his bride
and two children to the section house
in Elkhorn, Neb. In this house,
Katherine was born.
Miss Connell never knew her
father, for shortly after her birth
Cornell died of pneumonia, con-
tracted while working. Clark prom
ised the widow that as her chill
dren grew up they would be given
jobs with the railroad if they
wished.
When Katherine was IS and just
out of eighth grade, Mrs. Cornell
reminded Clark of his promise.
cit seems as though it was only
yesterday when went to work for
the Union Pacific" Miss Cornell re-
called. why I can remember the
first day, walking over the viaduct
and waving to the railroad men at
work below.
81 remember I kept repeating to
myself that I must make good, that
I must keep this job" In those days
the Omaha office, which was head
quarters, employed about 500
people. Now there are 1000 there.
Miss Connell has held supervisory
positions with the company since
February /, 1900, when she was ap-
pointed assistant head clerk in the
statistical bureau. w. M. letters,
present president of the railroad, is
the 18th under whom she has served.
She is now 70 years old. Her
mother died 10 years ago. Since the
death few years ago of a brother,
Pat, who was head of the city en-
ployment bureau, Miss Connell's
only kin are Pats sons, Joseph D.
and Richard P, both of whom are
in the armed services.

Wheat From America
Ends Famine Threat
In War-Torn Italy

The hunger of italian civilians is
being relieved by foodstuffs from
America. Although Italy is largely
an agricultural nation; it has not
been able to provide for all its needs
for many centuries, but has had to
import grain and other provisions
since the time of the Caesars. Now
that both farming and shipping have
been disrupted by war, the internal
situation is serious in many locali-
ties. Children in particular have
been suffering from malnutrition.

Diplomatic Activities
Embassies
Renz0deIed
By Katharine M. Brooks

Remodeled and refurnished en-
bassies in this Capital will be the
scenes of considerable entertaining
after the New Year, as Washington
resumes its prewar gayety and more
oftlclal entertainments again ap-
pear on the social calendar. Dur
ing the past few years, while the
war fronts were so extensive, the
few festivities here were in honor
OF visiting dignitaries who came for
conferences in connection with the
successful carrying on of the war.
With the advent of winter and inn
mediately after the New Year the
usual dinner parties will be given
by heads of diplomatic missions for
each other and for officials of this
Government.
The new Portuguese Embassy,
purchased last spring, probably will
not be completed until early in the
new year, for the obtaining of build
ing materials is not yet easy. The
Ambassador and Senhora de Bian-
Chi propose to stay in their COM
Portable apartment in Wardman
Park Hotel until the chancery, now
In the course of construction. is
completed. These Offices adjoin the
residence of the Ambassador, which
is the former home of Mrs Gilbert
M. Hitchcock and was built by for
mer Secretary of Commerce and
Mrs. Robert Patterson Lamont.
During the construction of the Of
fees the Ambassador and Senhora
de Bianchi are selecting the fur
nishings and draperies for their
new abode.
The Belgian Ambassador, Baron
Robert Silvercruys, has moved into
the house which he purchased for
his government as the residence
of the Ambassador, but there still
are finishing touches to- be put on
its furnishings and decorations.
The Ambassador has had one or two
comparatively small parties since he
took over the house on Foxhal road
which last year was occupied by
Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury, but they
have been for his countrymen and
one or two officials of this Govern
ment.
A completely done-over building
will be the Turkish Embassy, on
Twenty-third street. The work has
been slow because of the lack of
materials available, and the Am
bassador. Mr.. Huseyin Ragip Bay
dur, does not expect to be lin resi-
dence" there until after the first of
the year. although he is in reality
camping out during the repairing.
Sonora de Castro, wife of the Sal
Vador Ambassador, and her daugh-
ter, Senorita Elena Alicia Castro,
had not planned to join the Ambas-
sador until he found a house, but
they did come in time to help him
make the final decision on the
choice of their new home. They
moved into the house, 3400 Garfield
street, few weeks ago.
