was learned today.
Some leaders in Congress de-

Capitol Hill.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, who has been outspoken
in denouncing what he calls the
slowness and indifference of the
brass hats" in discharging men
from the Army and Navy, has been
receiving around 300 letters a day
for several weeks, nearly all critical
of the way the armed forces have
planned and carried out demobili-
Zation. The rate has been stepped
up during the last week.
In one delivery yesterday, Senator
johnson got 643 pieces of mail, and
% kilograms came within few
hours.
One telegram was signed 1000
embittered GIs." 1t declared the
signers, all over 80 years of age, had
been transferred from various units
throughout the country to the civil

field, Mass, said that at a nearby
camp more than 300 men with 81
points or more each were waiting
for their release and did not know

A lieutenant commander in the
Navy Medical Corps telegraphed: ::

Many older doctors, he said, were

Hold out your elegant perfume to
use as a prelude to big moments, if
you want it to fill its highest office
to create a new mood when you
want to swing from days grind
to evenings glamor.
But shall you stop giving noses
tantalizing treat the remainder
of the time?
The screens glamorous Lynne
c'Mildred Pierce0 Baggett, who
thinks perfume loses some of it's en-
chantment if it's worn like you wear
a, houSefrock or a play suit, says
NO" Use a perfume satellite, she
suggests, such sachet, toilet water
or a minor essence as the ether
occasion fragrance 1t will make
you feel bath-fresh and envelop you
in lovely aura.
Having saved your fine perfume
to strike an important note when
it's needed, says Lynne, it will do
its job grandly, like a wonderful
gown or a fabulous fur.
P. S. To give you the effects you
want from perfume, remember that
a little-which tantalizes-is more
efficaciouS than a lot, which can
make people head for the nearest
exit before swooning.

Soldiers Claim
FooI-Proof Cake
Recipe Developed
BY RUTH MILLETT

A soldier on Okinawa, after many
attempts which resulted in various
kinds of failures, has at last per-
fected the recipe for blast-proof
cake. 1t won't fall during baking
even when the ground is trembling
beneath it from the firing of big
guns.
That's fine. if the inventive gen.
ius doesn't go on from there to take
ALL of the chance and luck out
of the art of cooking. For the salts
faction that women get from turn
ing out a perfect souffle or an angel
food that is as light as a feather
is the element of failure that enters
in.
No perfect souffle or feather
light cake served to guests brings
complete satisfaction to a hostess
unless at least one woman guest
admits, Il don't see how you do it.
Mine never turns out like this"
So if there is anything that will
take the thrill out of cooking for
women it would be making all rec
ipes fool-proof, so that a bride could
turn out as perfect pastry as wom-
an who has learned to be an expert
cook only after years of practice.
If you doubt this, notice the
apologetic air of the hostess who
admits the baked beans her guests
are raving over were dumped out
of can and doctored up in few
minutes-instead of being the home
baked kind that take days fussing
and watching over.
Women like to do their cooking
the hard way-and they like the
gamble they take when they tackle
dish that just might not come out
right. Il didn't know HOW it would
turn out when 1 started" they tell
each other triumphantly.
Take that chance of failure out
