REMOVING FRUIT STAIN:
CuCUMBERS

(From Mrs. w. L., Arlington, Va.)
Boiling hot water poured over q
fruit stain before the stain is al
lowed to dry will take it out 100 per
cent. Even if there are guests at the
table do not hesitate to slip a bowl
under the tablecloth where the
stain is and pour the water through.
Possibly lnexcusable, but appreciated
by feminine guests.
Cucumbers: Peel and slice Gu
cumbers very thin. Mash with a
wooden potato masher or something
similar. Salt to taste. Let stand
Tor an hour or longer, then squeeze

but thanks to my many good
neighbors I've gotten along very
well. Don't iron diapers, just
sort of press them straight with
your hands when you fold them.
Personally, I don't iron a thing that
doesn't actually need it.
My daughter wears shirt. 1t
was long-sleeved but I cut those of
when I thought summer was here.
The way Judge how to dress her is
this: I let the shirt stand for my
underclothes plus wash dress. If
I feel cool I put on a sweater. If
I'm then too warm, I put only a
aannelette sacque on baby. If I'm
just comfortable, then I put a wool
sweater on the baby, too. So far
she hasn't had a heat rash. Nor a
cold. So feel my method is good
one. Her feet are almost always
cold, so keep at least a receiving
blanket over them.
(From Mrs. P. M. D., Arlington, Va }
AS to dressing an infant, I find
that common sense is better than
any book" plan, especially in Wash
ington, where the temperature shifts
so swiftly. Babies are usually OF a
warmer nature than adults, and you
can usually be safe in starting with
what seems too little and then
working up ii the baby feels cold.
For instance, when I need two
blankets on my bed at night, my
baby needs only a receiving blanket
and a light shawl. 1t is a fact that
unless a baby is anemic or ill, one
that is slightly underdressed will
be more healthy than one that has
on too many clothes.
My congratulations to The Star
for starting the RICH. That's the sort
of thing that's needed. It's even bet
ter than the Sewing circle" be-
cause we can get the suggestions of
so many persons.

BOOK ON PEASANT ART.
(Front Mrs. A. r. G., Bethesda, Md
Sometime ago Mrs. H. S. L., Sill
yer Spring, inquired about a book
on peasant art which would cover
china, pottery, silver, embroideries,
lace, furniture, wood carving and
other expressions of creative art.
There is in existence a perfectly
beautiful answer to this request-a
book called Peasant Art in Eu-
rope" published in London in 1927
by Ernest Benn, Ltd. 1t contains
100 plates in full color and 80 in
black and white, producing 2,100
examples Of peasant ornament and

WHY EGG SHAMPOO?

(From Mrs. A. C. p, WaShington.)
What is there so fascinating about
egg shampoos that one must use
food on ones head when people are
supposedly starving all over Europe?
Is it that some women's hair, like
some women's faces, really can't
stand soap? Or is it that some
women don't care that other women
must use inferior foods because they
can't find the eggs that are going
into these shampoos?

NAME FOR PIIPPY2


From Mrs. c. D. T., HyattSDille.)
I have lost my beloved spaniel
companion of 10 years. Of all the
family he chose to love and devote
himself to me, never being far from
me for very long and going on long
auto trips with us before the war.
Because of i'll health year ago
and not being allowed gas for two
State trip had to go by train, and
was forced to leave my loved pal
at home for week. He was heart
broken and for three days the men,
bers of the family could not coax
him to eat.
Now that he has left me, I feel
I can give another dog of like breed
and coloring a home and he will
have wonderful life, each of us

We wait breathlessly for glimpse of the Cops of Tomorrow!" The psychoogcally-t bluecoats who will have the satisfaction of knowing We hope that they answered all the $64 questions and gained membership in the department their merits. What an avenue of speculation the proposed merit system opens up put alas the Tall Tower column is limited in space and other
 members of the staff have certain little articles which are ticketed as must" for today. We hope the new plan proves few Wse-cracks and observa- lions will be in order shortly. Only high school gradu ates need apply Later it may be necessary for an app cant to possess college degree. And then the day dawns that handful of prepared questions is going to put five police commissioners into the background we want to around for the spectacle Imagine one of the faithful" running to his political club and seeking an endorsement for appointment Under the new order or affairs he would time and energy by consulting an 'IQ" specialist instead of his club commissioner or the mayor. The plan may click but until that day comes we will sit the sidelines. We might ask now where the city going to get all these intellectual gen. fuses at $40 week. And when all has been whispered and shouted will match any six of the modern cops with six of the odashioned harnessed flat foots (as they derisvely described and for courage tact common sense, good judgment, sense of humor fair ness, mpartiality etc., will string along with the Old Timers If the board would only award loyalty and efficiency generously they have political fidelity if they would only learn to coordinate the conflicting routnes of the police department they wouldn't need to refuge behind psychological tests to get good cops to make good cops out of the present crop Provide the incentive and reap results!

Austrian PartiSanS Gird For Battle To Aid Red Drive Against NaziS

"Mitteolungsblatt der Freiheit. front"
 The Partisans have constantly harassed the Germans. They have interrupted communications, and have stopped trains loaded with Jews travelling toward Poland and extermination. Many of the Jews then joined the Partisans. The Par tisans have saved Allied pilots and many Americans, keeping them hid- den in the mountains and smuggling them to Tito or to Switzerland. My informant believes hundreds of American pilots, officially declared missing, are hidden away in Aus trian villages and farms. This means that whole villages are ir the conspiracy.
 VIENNA FACES RUIN
 Many AustrianS are doomed to disappointment in the belief that the Nazis will declare Vienna an open city. The Nazis intend to de- fend Vienna till the last, leaving 1t in ruins as they did Budapest. This will force additional Austrians into the camp of the Freedom Front. A few thousand Partisans may well be able to jeopardize the Nazi de- fense of Vienna by occupying stra- tegic mountain-tops surrounding Vienna, and bridges crossing the Danube Thus they hope to defend Vienna from last-minute detSruc- ton. The future will prove whether they can accomplish this.
 Plans of the Freedom Front, how ever, go far beyond the war. The Freedom Front thinks that Austria can live, and indeed could have lived economically, but that Germany de- stroyed Austria industries even be- fore Hitler by merging them and simply stopping Austrian produc- ton. Germany did this to furnish political arguments for the Nazi anSchluss. The Freedom Front thinks that Austria is capable of leading a separate economic life, in close collaboration with Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. Plans for eco- homie and cultural collaboration have already been worked out in greatest detail in London, ready for practical functioning the day fol- lowing liberation.

of these groups have decided to leave difficult questions to be dis cussed and decided after victory Even the Monarchists partake, though they know that the monarcy is without 8 chance in postwar Aus tria. Austrians are not so much nti-Monarchists as they are anti Otto. Otto is considered everywhere in Austria, except in Monarchist circles, impossible, since he is re- garded as having collaborated con- stantly with Horthy, and as anti Benes, anti-Czech and anti-Tito. Anyhow, the Monarchists are merely a minority within the Freedom Front.
 Formerly great number of So- cialists believed Austria must stay united with Germany. Now only some Socialist leaders who have en- igrated to England and America say so. My source says that even Aus trian Nazis no longer want Germans into the country, proof of which is furnished by the admission of Aus trian Nazi war prisoners.
 COMMUNISTS ARE ACTIVE
 Names of the leaders cannot be revealed now, but 1t can be said that among them are well-known union leaders, intellectuals and clergymen. According to my non- Communist informant, Communists are not leading the resistance, but are most active and have the most initiative.
 The entire Freedom Front is cen" trally directed by political bureau numbering about 12 persons. Local regional organizations are directed mostly by military leaders of Par tisan groups and clergymen. Moth ing definite is yet known outside Autria about the set-up of the Landeskommittee.
