ANISE SEED:

CHRISTMAS CACTUS?
From Mrs. M. w. S.. Washington
Even though the RICH is a must

time I have attempted to give aid
Mrs. E. H. wanted to know where to
purchase aniSe seeds. These seeds
as well as other favoring seeds and
herbs may be purchased very rea-

cottage is not open every day.
have a Christmas cactus that
appears to be healthy but has never
had any blooms, even though it is
about 4 years old. According to
instructions given in a book on
house plants water was withheld
during October Since then a COM
mercial plant food has been added
once a week with waterings every
third day. The latter seems to be
detrimental. The plant is in a A.
inch pot. There is good drainage,
but when watering I set the pot into
bowl of water and let it stay until
the surface soil is wet. Will some
good friend tell me what to do to
make my plant bloom? Thank you
and orchids to this column.

CHOCOLATE PEANUTS.
ALCOHOL STAINS?


From Mrs. J. E. D., Washington. q
Peanut clusters: Sometime ago a
reader requested the method of
making chocolate covered peanuts.
I've made them in clusters for some
time, especially at Christmas and
everybody loves them All you need
is some sweet chocolate (the large
chunks which can be purchased in
the dime store). You use l pound of
sweet chocolate to l pound of small
salted peanuts and if larger quanti-
ties are wanted use the same amount
of each. Melt the chocolate in the
top OF double boiler. When COM
pletely melted remove from stove
and add the peanuts. That's all
there is to it,! Drop from spoon on
wax paper. You'll need a large
place. preferably a card table. To
make the individual nuts you could
drop the peanuts one by one, but
I'm afraid that would take long
time. I usually pack the clusters in
boxes and keep in cool place, not
refrigerator.

Federal Aid
Offered Small
Plant OlUners

Although production restrictions
are being lifted rapidly and soon
will disappear almost entirely, gov
eminent assistance will be avail
able to small plants that otherwise
are unable to obtain materials,
componentS, and equipment, Milton
A. Holmes. regional director for
Smaller War Plants Corporation,
said today.
Plants first must use their own
resources in an attempt to get
desired items. But, if they are
unable to obtain them in the open
market, they may apply to the
nearest SWPC district office for
assistance in getting a War Pro-
duction Board priority. Mr.. Holmes
said.
To qualify for a priority. a plant
must meet certain conditions, but
WPB has asserted it will give "spe-
cial consideration to small business
needs"
Mr.. Holmes said WPB has in
formed Smaller War Plants Cor
poration that its field offices have
been instructed to take into con-
sideration any facts supplied by
SWPC In connection with any small
plants application for a priority.
WPB will give particularly prompt
consideration when SWPC certi-
flies that it has checked a manu-
facturer'S facilities and determined
that the requested assistance is
necessary for the plant to operate
at a minimum economic rate.
ut is hoped that this procedure
will enable small plants to hold
their own in competition for mate
rails, and will speed their recon-
version" Holmes stated.
Applications of small plants for
priorities not only are filed In the
field, but, in most cases, will be
processed there. This should speed
acquisition Of needed items"
Smaller firms, unable to obtain
needed materials or equipment
without priorities, should contact
the SWPC district office at 424
Boulevard Building, Detroit 2.

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Dec

Gen. George S. Patton said to-
night there was "a good chance
he might be able to walk again
Ebut cautioned that there els al
ways the possibility the genera:
might be crippled for life.
Col. Lawrence c. Ball, Harlan
Ky, said there. was general con
fidence among American and Bri'

commander would pull through.
''It might take few days, few
weeks, or several MONTHS" said
Ball.
He said the dislocation of the
vertebrae in Patton's neck was re-
duced, but it was still impossible
to determine how much damage
had been done to the spinal cord.
He explained that time alone would
tell whether Patton would again be
able to walk.
A night medical bulletin - the
briefest yet-said only: "Gen. Pat.

condition is progressing satisfac-

was injured, spent most of the
afternoon with him, indicating a

SHIPS HAMMERED
BY HEAVY GALES
Five Disabled Vessels.
Some Carrying Troops,
Buffeted By Winds

NEW YORK, Dec. 1912 =
Heavy seas and strong winds in
the north Atlantic tonight ham
mered five disabled or grounded
vessels.
They were the troopship Joseph
Hooker with 562 servicemen
aboard, an Argentine Corvette and
three fishing craft.
The Hooker, still shipping water
through ruptured starboard plates,
was proceeding to New York under
naval escort at II knots. Naval Of
ficials were uncertain when she
would reach port.
Latest information was that the
crew of the Hooker was winning
its battle with seawater pouring
into the broken hull and that the
ship was in no danger.
The Hooker raidoed a distress
call last night about 500 miles from
New York. Ships in the vicinity
stood by until the cruiser Homo
lulu arrived to serve as escort.
The fishing dragger Hazel B,
with 4 crew Of II aboard, was re-
ported listing badly in heavy seas
off Nova Scotia after Tuesday
gale pounded her, smashing two
lifeboats.
The Rosemarie M, a sister drag.
ger, was standing by to render
assistance as the disabled craft
rode out the rough waters.
On Rose and Crown shoal, with
in sight of Nantucket Island, the
Argentine Corvette Independence
was grounded and taking water
in her forward compartments, but
was on an even keel. A salvage
tug stood by. The Independence,
with a Canadian crew Of 46 aboard.
was not in immediate danger, the
Coast Guard said.
The Boston lobster smack Ran
ME was out of fuel and adrift 100
miles southeast of Cape Ann, and
the Coast Guard cutter Thetis
was headed toward her..
The Coast Guard asked the
Canadian government to rush as
sistance to the trawler Gale, which
left Boston, Dec. S with a crew of

standing by, said a message to her
