Planned Homes
By Elem Sakes

The helping hand" has been ex-
tended to discharged veterans and
their families-and families to be-
and to other home planners who
have been dreaming Of future homes.
This lift has been undertaken by
one of the leading department stores
in the city in collaboration with
Better Homes and Gardens Maga-
zine. This service, known as the
home planning center, Is designed
to bring the prospective home own
er to the store before the home is
built. Not after the finished product
Is ready to be furnished and deco
rated
In this home-planning center is a
receptiOnist who directs the inter-
ested person to the waiting area,
home planner or interior decorator
who is ready to answer any queries
concerning homes and their prob
lens. Reference materials are fur
niShed and plans of other homes
and interiors are shown the prospec-
tive home buyer or builder.
Throughout the major cities in
America similar home-planning CEN
ters have been opened and have
proven successful. Here in Washing
ton, where building and housing
officials expect a big boom in home
building to start before long, this
service given the Washingtonians
is truly boon. The service extends
aid in the selection of the home
according to income, number in
the family and their ages, the fur
nishings and type of architecture
desired. In toto all the questions
that confront one in the building
of a new house are answered.
Major department stores have re-
allied that they are the focal points
in community and, accordingly,
have concentrated their work to-
ward that end by making complete
plans for the installation of this
service in their stores. The prospec-
tive home planner, remodeler or
builder will be afforded the opportu-
nifty OF obtaining information on
local building restrictions, zoning,
building restrictions; accredited lists
of architects, contractors, real estate
dealers, financial agents and yari-
Gus subcontractors will also be avail
able.

Let's have onceover lightly OF
the smaller game that your hunter
husband might bring home for you
to prepare. There's snipe, for In
stance, that crazy bird whose fast
and irregular flight puts the surest
marksman on his mettle.
Usually snipe, like woodcock, are
not drawn. They are simply pluck
ed, singed and cleaned. The SIM
plest-and I think the best-way to
cook them Is by broiling. Rub the
birds well with butter and broil
them in preheated broiler at about
400 degrees. They should cook for
Is to 20 minutes, depending on size,
and they should be well basted with
butter or other fat several times
while they are broiling. Turn them
often to brown evenly. Serve them
on toast, with tart jelly and hominy.
Woodcock may be cooked and
served exactly the same way. Doves,
too, can be treated in this manner
although the doves are drawn usu-
ally. Or just scar the doves, then put
them in a casserole with a few small
onions. some herbs, glass or two
of white wine, some chicken broth,
salt anu pepper and let them cook

INK: WASH CLOTHS;
VASES INTO LAMPS?

From Mrs. T. d. r., Washington
Re request for taking out ink from
gingham dress. Rub the stain with
lard or vaseline and work it well
into the cloth. AS gingham is wash
able, wash with plenty of mild soap
and water.
Re request of home washing Of
wash cloths and turkish towels
Wash as usual, then after bleaching
with any Well-known bleach rinse
we'll and set aside in u cup white
vinegar to two quarts very mild
water for one-half hour. Do not
rinse vinegar out. Just hang on line
in plenty of sunlight.
Now for my request: I have two
very lovely vases which I would like
to cut holes in the bottom Tor side
near bottom to insert electric cord
to make table lamps. These vases
are rather expensive and I do not
dare to try this cutting without some
expert advice. These are pottery
vases.

, banks, boards OF trade, has been
promised. This Is important to note
| for without assistance the prospec-
tive home planner would be in pretty
much of bad spot. This pledge
comes at time when aid is vir-
tually a necessity and is the answer
to many problems that only skilled
groups can solve.
Better Homes and Gardens home
plan service features designs by
skilled architects, working draw
ings, lists of materials, specifi-
cation forms and contractor-own-
er agreements. One especially de-
signed home in the 5000 to
$4,000 bracket Is featured every
month in the magazine complete
with blueprints, etc. These homes
are designed by one of eight ma
tionally known architects from the
North, South, East and West sec
tons Of the Nation. All problems
of climate, ETC., are taken into ac-
count by them In the designing Of
these homes.
Other help to the future home
planner in the form of literature is
to be found in book stores. A book
of interest is Houses for Home
makers" by Royal Barry Wills, one
of Americas noted architects. This
offers sketches and plans, and
notes things to look for when buy
ing, building or renting a home.
'"Tomorrow's House" and How to
Plan a Home written in collabora-
tion by j. Ralph DalZell and Gilbert
Townsend are two books compiled for
the American Technical Society and
feature home styling, types of ar
chitecture and the planning OF
rooms. Another book Is House
Construction Details" by Nelson L.
Burbank. Scale drawings and pho
tographs of every part Of modern
house are shown. 1t is indexed as
to parts such as wiring, painting,
materials and fabrications. This is
a ready reference" book on home
details well worth having In any
library.
The future indeed looks bright for
the prospective home planner what
with Nation wide magazines, de-
partment stores and noted archi-
tectural writers taking such an in
terest In them. The service is there
for any who wish to avail themselves
lof these opportunities.

Add boiling water to cover and let
the stew simmer for about 2 hours.
Then put in a quart of canned to-
matoes, season with little sugar
and simmer for three-quarters of an
hour longer. Thicken the stew with
butter and flour rubbed together and
check the seasoning. Like terrapin,
Brunswick stew should be served in

VENETIAN BLINDS;
THUMB CHEWER?


(Fron1 Mrs. C. E. L., Washington. J
Too bad you don't have two pages
of The Star for your Woman's Page!
I'm afraid your readers miss lot
of things that you don't have room
to put on one page.
Saw where there were several
suggestions on cleaning Venetian
blinds. I've found that when clean
ing a room or rooms, it's much
easier to straighten the Stats and
pull the blind all the way up and
leave up until all dust etc. has set
tied. Not only does this give more
light in the room when cleaning
but keeps a lot of dust off the
blinds so they don't have to be
cleaned so often.
Will some one please suggest
something I can do to break my A.
year -oId son from chewing on his
thumb? He only does this wher
he takes a nap. Has been doing il
since he was almost months old
We've tried everything from teas
ing him, shaming, spanking, ex-
planning, special sleeves with boards
wire thumb guards. special thumt
medicine, bribes and black wool nit
tens without thumbs.
Nothing works. We watch as he
goes to sleep and try to keep his
thumb out and when he does go tc
sleep we make sure he doesn't have
his thumb in his mouth.

answer the query asking what to
do with a stainless steel fry pan
that everything sticks to-even eggs.
The only solution to the problem
in the use of solid stainless steel
fry pan is to apply the heat very,
very slowly until the entire surface
of the pan is hot. The 18 chrome
8 nickel grade Of stainless steel from
which the pan is no doubt made is
a very poor conductor Of heat.
In the future, when purchasing
stainless steel cooking utensils, do
not buy solid stainless steel unless
it is cooking vessel in which water
is to be used in the cooking process.
If you are going to buy another
fry pan in stainless steel, buy one
Of the following:
A solid stainless steel fry pan
with an outside copper coating
which will conduct the heat readily
to the entire surface of the pan.
A graded fry pan which is made of
a sandwich material, the stainless
steel being on the outside layers and
core of carbon steel as the center
material to spread the heat.
Stainless steel cooking utensils
are very advantageous to the house.

have a suggestion to offer for
the 1S-month- baby who gets un-
covered.
Place two crib-sized blankets to-
gether on the big bed. Put baby on
top of them with his arms over his
head. Now roll blankets around baby.
Pin blankets to sleeping garment.
Two safety pins in front and two in
back. This permits baby to walk
around crib waving his arms or play
ing with toys, but still keeping COW
cred! The number ana weight of
blankets can be varied with changes
in weather. If extra warmth is
needed for arms and feet, use long
sleeved shirts and stockings under
sleeping garment.

it is really very Simple and effective.
I used it for my own baby and for
many children in hospitals where I
nursed in pediatric departments.
