is that it takes these young cads
and turns them into men. A drill
sergeant gives them the discipline
that their fond and foolish mothers
didn't. They are being made to
consider others instead of them
selves, to do the things they don't
want to do and to show respect
for authority. 1t is working such
a reformation that their own par
ents won't know them when they
come back. II the war has robbed
us of many fine young men, it is
paying its debt in part by turning
many worthless boys into good men.
Your daughter certainly has little

sulting treatment that this ill-bred
young man offers her. But I sup
pose now that dates are at a pre-
MUM, girls feel that they must take

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: My 16-year-old
daughter has boy friend who takes
possession of our home by pounding
on the piano and turning on the
radio to station he likes, regard
less of the likes OF any one else In
the household. He criticizes her
dress, calls her dumb, tells her she
doesn't have to obey me and tries
to get her to skip classes as he does
He tells her he doesn't have any
money to take her out, yet spends
SIS on himself trying to look like q
second Sinatra.
My daughter tries to laugh of his
lack of manners and his laziness,
but I can't see anything amusing
in his rudeness. Am not justified
in asking her to find a civilized boy
friend who Is a gentleman? Or have
all the nice, well-bred boys gone to
war? Just what are the chances
in life for a boy of this character
or for the girl who falls in love with
him? MOTHER.
Answer-The chances for bump
tious, conceited young asses, such
as the one you describe, used to be
absolutely nil, for nobody would put
up with their arrogance and their
lack Of manners. They never could
keep a job or make friends. Every
body avoided them as the pests
they were. They were doomed to
become parasites on their parents
and hangers-on in poolrooms and
cadgers Of drinks.

If 1t Sn01Us- q Picnic!

A snowy weekend what posi-
bilities that has to offer! Sunday
with no job to 60 to-a whole day
to spend in the glittering white out
doors! No wonder Tom, Dick and
Harry decided to get a gang to-
gether for winter picnic and skiing
and coasting party.
Guests were invited to come by
bus, by suburban train or in any
way they could to a bit of hilly
country just outside of the city
Tom, Dick and Harry would supply
all the makings for the picnic and
at the proposed meeting place, there
were stone ovens that would supply
the means for cooking. Exercise,
fresh air and fun in the snow were
to be the order of the day.
The first batch OF guests arrived
early on Sunday morning in rented
sleigh, drawn by two fat and un-
cooperative horses, tinkling with
bells. A bus spilled out another
couple or two, and from the little
suburban station still another group
trudged merrily long, skis on shoul-
ders and sleds slipping behind them.
The three hosts busted themselves
getting everything ready for the
final cooking and serving, and then
went off to join in the fun When
several hours later, flushed and fam
ished and happily tired, the guests
converged upon the stone fireplace
that was cheerfully emitting sparks
and a comforting warmth, it was
easy to whip up a wonderful meal
in no time at all.
There were hamburgers, of course,
to be cooked over glowing Goals, but
these were special hamburgers, made
according to Toms own pet recipe
To every 2 pounds Of chopped meat,
he had added Ia teaspoons of salt,
a teaspoon of pepper, a pinch of
thyme and bit Of sage. All this

Cottoning Up

Now that most Of US are doing
our own washing and ironing we've
come to the conclusion that cotton
is the perfect material for home
decoration. In the first place 1t has
proved reasonably colorfast and
shrinkproof, and in the second it re-
spends beautifully to soap and wa
ter. Many OF US have used cotton
articles in former years for summer
only, but their washable propensities
make them q year-'round favorite
these days.
The War Production Board re-
Gently announced that because Of
increased military requirements for
cotton duck, tire cord and other es-
sential war textiles coarse cotton
yarns will be greatly curtailed for
civilian use. This directive takes
affect as Of January Is with prom
Use that restrictions will be lifted
at the earliest possible moment.
This coarse cotton yarn is the type
used for such civilian items as dra-
peries, upholstery, chenille, shag and
tufted fabrics or products. Undoubt-
edly the buying public will not feel
the results of this directive until
possibly late spring or early sum-
mer, but knowing there will be a
definite reduction of the stock sup
ply. we should take extra care of all
our cotton fabrics, especially items
that fall under this category.
At present you can find almost
all types and styles Of those attrac-
tive tufted candlewick spreads.
These are excellent for the busy
housewife who cannot find time for
ironing. They need only a quick
washing in hot, soapy water, careful
rinsing and drying. Be sure to hang
them over line at full length, max
ing certain the edges are even.
Shake them several times while dry
ing and brush lightly with a clean
whisk broom when they are thor

in progress. Somebody had been
fortunate enough to corral pound
Of bacon, and contributed it to the
feast. This Dick stuck on a stick
and broiled over the Goals and
crumbled into the huge pan of
scrambled eggs Harry was stirring up
on his side Of the fire A thermos
or two Of hot coffee proved mighty
popular as the sun began to slide
down the sky.
But with plenty Of hearty hot
food to keep them warm and the
fire still glowing brightly, no one
noticed the chill. When all the
debris had been cleaned up, there
was time for another coast or two
before the party headed homeward.
And as one Of the guests remarked
wisely, "A picnic in the snow has
got it all over picnic in the sum-
mertime. No bugs, no sand, no
poison ivy-and no mayonnaise!"

FISH AND TURTLE CARE
REMOVING VARNISH GLOSS?
Thanks to Miss J. B. MEG,
Washington
I have found the "Justrite" book
on pets very good on fish care. II
may be purchased for a dime at most
pet counters, but has nothing on
turtles.
I have heard that painted turtles
cannot be expected to live very
long as they breathe partly through
pores in their shells which the paint
closes up. have had very little ex-
perience with turtles but have heard
that putting a few drops of cod liver
oil In the water and rubbing the
shell with the same will often be
beneficial. A turtle should always
have somewhere to 60 to dry its
shell or the shell will become soft.

Thinking it was dead, I was about
to discard it, but just in time I
remembered something I had read
at sometime and decided
to experiment a little. I dropped
the "ailing one" into a small bowl
of fresh water to which I added Il
teaspoon table salt and small
sprinkle of fish food. To make a
long story short, in three hours he
was frisking around the small bowl

SANDWICH MAKING TIPS.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. M. A. B.,
], ,5,,~


Necessity is truly the mother Of
invention. Here are two things that
have used recently that I thought
might be useful to some other per-
son in need of help when gadgets
are scarce.
I was entertaining some people a
few days ago. Meat being an item
. which Is scarce, turned to making
egg sandwiches. My problem was to
get those hard-boiled eggs into a
smooth, pastelike consistency. Mash
ing with a fork would not work.
neither would two or three small
sieves in the cabinet. I finally used
q tea strainer. Use either a spoon or
fingers to force the egg through the
strainer. The egg was uniformly
divided into tiny bits that made
wonderful sandwich filling when
mixed with butter or mayonnaise
and bit of onion f1avoring or other
tasty flavor like celery.
I no sooner had solved my egg
mixture problem than up bobbed
another problem. I had nice fresh
bread that I was going to slice into
lovely thin slices Well, the bread
Just would not slice. What was I
going to do? I put that bread in
the freezing unit of the refrigerator
Evening star., 1945-01-08

and left it there almost hours. The
bread was frozen and I could cut 1t
p>Nhen l took 1t out. AS soon as the
bread got warm it was a nice tex
ture again, but the freezing treat
ment made slicing possible.
| I do hope that these two hints
may be of some use to busy people

CLEANING VENETIAN BLINDS;

In your December u publica-

quested a way to clean Venetian
blinds at home. raise mine to about
one-fourth of the length, then take
them down from the window and lay
them on the kitchen sink, or work
table in the basement would be good
Then l make solution, according
to directions on the carton of a
special cleaning powder, which may
be obtained in 5 and 10 cent stores,
grocery stores and hardware stores.
1t is good to clean all painted sur
faces. Wash once and rinse once
with the same solution, without even
drying, unless too wet. 1t cuts the
collection of dust, SCOT, insect specks,
etc. Also rub the tapes and cords
with the same solution. With a por-
ton of the blind left loose, there is
enough play" to turn each slat to
wash both sides. Mine come out look
ing quite revived and worth the
effort after several such cleanings
and the paint left intact.

requests a way to remove pasted
borders from a painted surface. A

visec my sister to put some vinegar
in hot water with which to spray
ceiling and wallpaper for removing
The hot water softens the paper mot
too hob and the vinegar cuts" the
adhesion of the paste. The naphtha
in some cleaning soap is good also
to cut the adhesion 1t may be too
strong for paint, though. 1t does cut
nail polish. Then the border should
readily yield to wall scraper, with
perhaps little additional spraying
here and there. Spray only a reach
able surface at one time
