Officials List
It's Advantages
Wont Follow
Move by n. P.
BY JAKE BERSON

Hamtramck High will stay IN
the Metropolitan League whether
or not the league abolishes its
rule against outState sports COM
petition.
This was disclosed Saturday
after a meeting OF Hamtramck
school authorities and coaches.
At the meeting were NJ. A. Kopka,
superintendent of schools: STAN
ley Biernacki, assistant superin-
tendent: Dale T. Musselman,
principal; Floyd Stocum. athletic
director. and members of the
coaching staff.
I'VE reached this decision
after weighing the advantages
and disadvantages of remain-
ing in the league" Stocum said.
"We would like to have OUT
state schools on our schedules,
hut we believe the advantages
of staying In the league are too
great to leave IL under any cir
cumstances."
ENDS RUMORS
The decision squelched recent
rumorS that a move, similar to
that in Highland Park. was under
way 10 withdraw Hamtramck
from the league.
In Highland Park an influential
alumni group has petitioned the
school board for withdrawal as
soon as possible. A fact.finding
committee will present its results
at the next board meeting, Jan.
8, and a decision is expected on
that date.
'We can draw as big football
crowds in the league as We
would against outstate oppo-
nents," Stocum declared. Were
assured large crowds when We
play Catholic Central. Pershing
or DENLY.
CARRY BIG SQUADS
"One big advantage of re-
naming in the league Is that
we can carry large squads. 1t
would also be difficult TO ar
range Outstate schedules for the
sO-called minor sports such az
track, baseball. golf and tennis,
and In this We are taken care
of in the league.
Another league advantage IL
that equipment IL bought in
larger quantities, and IL Is bet
ter and cheaper"
Hamtramck entered the Metro
politan League in 1926 the same
year Highland Park joined.

Onion Soup q la Normandie

Memories of the old crossings on
the great French liner Normandie
assailed several of the guests at a
small dinner given recently by
bachelor host of my acquaintance.
He gave us an onion soup "a la
Normandie" that was prepared from
a recipe cherished by the chef of
that floating palace. And in true
epicurean fashion, he permitted the
onion soup to be the whole show"
of his dinner, by giving it the i'm
portance it deserved in preparation
and serving, and by following it
with cold sliced chicken, surrounded
by cubes of chicken aSpic, refresh

and come home Iadened with paint
supplies, and to start pitching right
in and getting the porch panied
and the cellar fixed up. But, In Que
time the domestic touch that Is SO
much a part Of the general Ameri-
can boys makeup will come to the
fore and Of his own accord Johnny
will start fixing things around the
house. His wife, mother or sister
will happily second that motion.
For memories Of bloody fingers,
strained backs and topplings of OF
chairs whose legs needed fixing-are
etched quite vividly in their minds.
The terrific back log" Of work
around the home promises to keep
the "putterers" happily engaged for
the next five years.
We don't want to underestimate
the efforts of our women to keep
the "home beautifully there Is
no denying that professional re-
conditioning job is now In the cards.
Painters, plasterers, plumbers, ETC..
went into war work as many others
did. Now, with war work out Of the
picture in most cases-theSe men
Twill return to their former trades,
| thereby Frightening the scene con-
siderably with their trained hands
and new ideas.
It is important to remember the
old psychological adage that "colors
have a tendency to depress when
they are dark and dingy." Now
more than ever before-with the
return of the service men and wom-
en-, they will lean to bright, clean
and CHEEKY homes. During the
course of their wanderings they
! have seen many new things. Wait
for their return and consult with
them as to their likes and dislikes
in color, design and so on. The coat
of whitewash the Nation has been
: needing in many ways will soon be
here. And Huck Finn will have
nothing on the rest Of us once the
paint brushes come out.
A good clean start in the homes
is the answer. The paint is ready
and willing. To help you a local
paint shop is distributing a new
edition of a booklet put out by one
which gives directions for trans

SUGGESTIONS.

SUGGES1 HUNS.
(From NJ. L. H, Washington
1t would be better in the present
condition of sugar rationing to
avoid giving recipes that require
much or any. There are some
"junkets" in box at the grocers
whose contents are sweetened. A
rice, custard pudding made without
sugar can have honey spread on top
before serving.
To open the metal screw-tops of
bottles or jars, a piece of sandpaper
is the most efficient giving a firm
grip on any size of cover.
Evening star., 1945-09-10

A majority of the paint stores and
paint manufacturers are agreed that
in 80 to go days the paint situation
will be somewhat eased. Although
many complaints have not been
voiced in the past, the fact remains
that when the Government clamped
down and took what paint supplies,
ETC.. that they needed-civilian
needs could not be adequately filled.
Mr.. j. H. Hendrick, a represent
ative Of a well-known paint organ
ization, feels that there will not be
much of letup in the paint picture
even though all restrictions were
lifted effective as of August 81.
It'll be a good 80 to go days before
much more paint is available on the
market" says Mr.. Hendrick.
There is, of course, the matter of
linseed oil to deal with. This must
be cleared by the Department of
Agriculture before paint production
can 60 full blast" The majority
Of paint companies are still re-
stricted according to their base pc
riod of 1941. This amount Is in
reality about 500 of what they gen.
orally were using. Lately, that per-
centage has been raised little. As
is only natural, at this time, the de-
mand for good paint far exceeds the
supply.
Two well-known paint companies
have announced new findings in the
field of paint containing DDT. Wal
paint with the insecticide mixec
with it will chase flies, mosquitoe.
and other insects from a room
Tests on this new paint are still be.
ing made and the new product, viii
in all probability, be on the marke
in about go days. Mr.. c. J. Zim
norman, president of an importan
chemical company says that th'
cold water paint that his COMPANY
is now bringing out is not toxic. For
lit is said, DDT only becomes toxit
when mixed with an oily base, which
dissolves the DOT. Water will no
dissolve the killer" SO a mineral
and-water base in paint holds th'
DDT on the wall and it does no1
evaporate with the water.
The picture not only looks brigh
for the paint companies but for tn,
homemakers as well. Before Johnn,

in this manner:
Fairly thick slices of white bread
were trimmed and dried in a warm
oven. Then each one was spread
with a mixture of half and half
blue cheese and butter. A few drops
of Worcestershire sauce and speck
of cayenne were added. After the
toast was placed on the top of the
soup, each slice was sprinkled with
Parmesan cheese. The crooks were
put into the oven, and allowed to
remain until the cheese started to
bubble. Then the lids were clapped
on and the crooks rushed to the
table, to the waiting guests.

USE FOR BLACKoUT CURTAINS

(Fronn Mrs. N. L., Washington.)
Last week some one asked what
to do with sateen blackout cur
tains. I suggest making fancy
aprons trimmed with colored bias
braid or rickrack. I have made
very pretty ones from black sa-
teen.
(From Mrs. A. E. B., Washington. J
In recent copy of The Star
noted request about how to use
blackout goods.
Probably the writer meant some
thing she could make. If she wants
to give it away to a worthy cause,
here is suggestion:
Just before leaving D. c. for our
summer vacation, Mrs. Stone, pres
ident of the Waldensian Society of
the District of Columbia told me
they were asking people to give
their blackout material to send to
italy for the Waldensians, or to
France for the refugees to make into
the black apron slips worn by the
children in those countries.
She said 1t might be left at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, New York avenue near
Fourteenth street NV. marked for
"Waldensians Or French refugees,
care Mrs. Stone"
I think I have her name right,
though it may be STORY"
That seemed to me a useful way
to use material suited to being made
into clothing.

COMMENT ON POEM.

(From Mr.. w. E. A., Washington. J
I have just found the letter of a
month ago wherein Mr.. L. w. D.
answers Mrs. A. L. MS request for
the poem in which the poet describes
his wife's eyes as "two, deep pools.
1 came across the poem some years
Laniers MY Springs" does not sat
isty the request any more than does
My 'Sweetheart's Face" by John
Allen Wythe, who writes, "Her eyes
two crystal lakes ripping with
light" or 20, fairest of the rural
maids" by William Cullen Bryant;
Thine eyes are springs in whose serene
Ana silent waters heaven Is SEEM

ton, 1925, and none use the exact
words, though conveying somewhat
the same meaning. I have lost my

Patmore, where I expected to find
the actual words.
The "cool, deep pools" can only
belong to an innocent, thoughtful
child or chaste woman who has
absolute faith in her husband

such woman is not only help

BABY'S PICTURE;
SPLICING YARN.

From Mrs. R. C. B., Hyattsuille.)
I've received so much help from
your excellent section that I hasten
to answer several queries.
To Mrs. J. T. M, Silver Spring:
We have had excellent results tax
ing pictures of our active infant
daughter with our box camera.
First, you will need a reflector and
flash bulbs. Open the lens of the
camera to admit all the light pos
sible and also set it for time ex-
posures. Place white card over
the lens, snap the camera once,
then wait for the desired pose. Re-
move the card, flash the bulb. Re-
place the card over the lens and
snap the camera again. 1t sounds
quite complicated but really quite
easy and loads of fun.
To Mrs. C. H. O., Washington:
The way to splice yarn, or at least
the way I was taught is-take one
piece of yarn and thread it through
a needle and actually sew to the
other piece of yarn. Starting at the
end, sew for a few inches then
start back again for a few stitches.
That's all
