PARTIALLY BURNED CANDLES
From Mrs. F. L. X, Washington. J
To use partially burned candles
place several in a small room such
as a den. keeping lighted all the
time, where any number of people
are smoking and there will be nc
smoke in the room. The number
depends upon size of room and num-
Der of people smoking. I use all of
my partially burned candles this

INSECT PROBLEM?
From Mrs. E. E. G., Arlington.)
I have always enjoyed the wom-
ans page of The Star, having been a
subscriber for the past Is years, but
think the RICH is the best yet.
This is an SOS. After living In
my house nearly 20 years without
insects of any kind, I find during the
last six months 1 have bugs in the
kitchen. Have used powders of diff
ferent brands and I sprayed with
DOT g per cent? once and in a few
days they were as many as ever.
think they are water bugs. They
are brownish in color and have small
wings that they use to aid in run
ming. They do not fly. They come
out in the dark and usually run fast
when light is turned on. Thanks
for any help.

OLD CHRISTMAS CARDS.
from Mrs. r. p, Washington,

From Mrs. r. p, Washington
You printed an inquiry in The
Star as to what to do with old
Christmas cards so that they can be
put to further use rather than be-
ing thrown away. The Camp Fire
Girls organization Is now collecting
Christmas cards which will be dis
tributed to children in rural areas by
the Save-the- Children Foundation.
The cards will be used for art and
handcraft projects. All cards should
be sent to the Camp Fire Girls office,
1871 street NV, Washington s,
D. C.
From Mrs. N. S. B., Takoma Park,
Md
To use Christmas cards-I glued
mine on wastepaper baskets. When
dry, give them coat of clear shell
lac, enamel them inside with pretty
bright colors and they are really
lovely.
From Miss H. S. M, Washington
j. D., Washington, asked the RICH
readers for suggestions as to where
to send old Christmas cards. If you
would send them to Save-the- Chill
dren Foundation, 8 Washington
place, New York City, New York,
the cards will be sent to rural schools
to help children with art work and
art appreciation.
DATE TORTE.
from Mrs. M. E. B., Washington
Here is our favorite dessert: Date

q cup of sugar, beat together until
very light, add to this cup chopped
dates, / cup walnuts cut up fine, 2
tablespoons -four, / teaspoon baking
powder. Mix flour and baking pow
der together before adding it to the
rest. Have a hot oven when it is
put in, then turn fire low and bake
in slow oven 20 minutes or longer II
it Is not a nice brown. Serve cold
with whipped cream. 1t always falls
soon after you remove 1t from the

LIVER SAUSAGE.
SPONGE CAKE?

From Mrs. D. L. S., Milton, W. Va
May I suggest to the lady who is
considering making liver pudding
that if she wants some to use later
she had better can 1t, as it spoils
easily 1t should be sealed hot in
fruit jars and processed the same as
sausage.
Does any one have a recipe for the
kind of sponge cake my mother used
to make? 1t contained no baking
powder and the yolks and whites of
the eggs were beaten together, then
the sugar and other ingredients
added and it was baked in a sheet
pan. The texture was altogether
different from the sunshine" or
angel food" type of sponge cake
made with the separated eggs.
CHANGING FOODS.
from Mrs. d. r. M, Washington
Mrs. P. D. La F., Arlington: First
Of all may I offer you my sympathy?
|gDungster and in desperation changed
from our family doctor to pediatri-
clan. His advice was so successful
that he's earned our undying graft
tude. The method he advised fol-
lows: Mix a small amount of the
chopped food in with your young
ster's strained food the first day.
Approximately every other day in
crease the amount of chopped food
and decrease the strained food, pro-
portionately, until at last he is get
ting the chopped food completely. I
started with a teaspoon of chopped
food to can of strained food and
increased the amount accordingly.
It's long process, but the outcome
is well worth it. Our youngster now
eats everything we put before him.
From Mrs. J. Med, Arlington.)
To Mrs. P. D. La F., who wanted
advice about changing her babies
diet from strained food to chopped:
When my little girl was year old
began gradually to change her diet.
First I gave her large pieces of food
to eat by herself, such as liver,
scraped beef, etc. In this way she
became accustomed to biting of fair
Iy large pieces and since she was eat
ing it herself, enjoyed it very much.
Then I started giving her chopped
buildings put out by well-known
baby food company. Since she is
very fond of all desserts, she didn't
seem to mind this bit and within
a few days ate them as though they
were strained. I had to experiment
little when it came to the chopped
vegetables and meat combinations,
as she didn't seem to like the same
brand food I had been using in the
strained. I tried two or three and
finally found one she ate readily.
The pieces of food were not too large
or hard. Another hint is to offer
your baby the chopped soups in the
beginning as they do not contain so
many of the large pieces of vege-
tables, and giving him spoon of his
own to help feed himself may prove
successful. 1t worked wonders for
me.

Wages And Prices

The question of holding the line
between production costs and
wages is just as unsettled today as
it ever was. The trouble with the
whole matter is that Government
wage controls and Government de-
cisions stabiliZing prices have up
set the industrial and economic sit
uations. Unreasonable union labor
leaders are crying out loud for in
creased wages for workers who
won strikes earlier this year. and
are now threatening more strikes
Talk-in-the-Open about striking
against the Government came from
Cleveland, Ohio, this week. The Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
ployees in convention assembly
made demands for increases in
their salaries. They had Congress-
men handy TO egg-On United States
Government workers who demand
ed Ia per cent boosts in addition
to their 20 per cent pay raise on
July |.
The local unions represented at
the Cleveland meeting all seemed
to insist that the Government must
raise their pay, so they wouldn't
have to strike. Civil Service Com
missioner Flemming has taken the
stand that wages must be increas-
ed enough by Congress to make
sure that Federal workers receive
pay to meet the increased cost of
living But he did not hesitate to
say that there should be no place
in Government for the employee
who believes that he has right to
strike against the Government;
who advocates work slow-downs,
who is a Communist party member
Or who is follower of that party.
He also would exclude members OF
the Ku Klux Klan or any other or
ganization that espouses the Nazi
or Facist way of life.
Now the way to protect the tax
payers of this country is to follow

Food For Thought
The Apple Crop
BY Mary T. Davenport, NutritionIst
State Board of Health

The forecast for the apple crop
for this year is 60|c above last
years small crop. ll2 million bush
els should go far toward satisfying
the appetites of pie, dumplinGS,
sauce and cider-hunSry people.
While apples do not hold the high
nutritive rank of citrus fruits,
melons or yellow peaches. other
features compensate to make their
contributions valuable. The cost of
apples is usually reasonable. and
they keep well. There are innumCr-
able recipes for their preparation
and best of all. most people enjoy
them.
Have you tried your apple sauce
with the skins left on? Quarter the
apple and remove the core. Dice the
quarters. Cook in the usual way
(Does your usual way include two
tablespoons of grated orange on
lemon rind cooked with the
applesD Add sugar and mash
thoroughly. You will enjoy the tex
ture of the sauce with its fin,
pieces of skin.

 For two weeks the DACE re- mained in Saipan. A quarter of the crew and officers were assigned to man any Jap subs which might appear for surrender. They re- turned to the DACE ten days later without seeing Jap submarine.
 On September 1, 1945, the DACE set sail for Pearl Harbor in conn pany with the USS ORION, USS RAY, USS CREVALLE and USS DCEFISH.
 After an uneventful trip they all arrived in Pearl Harbor on Sep temiber 10, 1945, and waited for the orders which would take them all home for good.
 On September 13, 194S, the DACE, MUSKAILUNGE. CRE- VALE, and CATO departed for Panama and home. The DACE was scheduled to return to New London on October 5th. She had made seven war patrols in two years and two months active duty. and sunk or damaged over 73,000 tons of enemy ships.
 Out of all the men and officers who joined the DACE before she left New London the first time, the only ones who still remain aboard are:

By this time. the ships were very close and the Jap had materialized into a heavily armed anti-Submarine MIKURA class frigate. The DACE rapdly turned away and bent on full power. A cloud of exhaust smoke poured out of her engines and momentarily hid her from view. Twin flashes appeared on the bow of the Jap and two explosions reSounded through the air. A faint cheer went up from the crew below they thought the Jap had been hit by the DACE's torpedoes. Two shells exploded ahead of the DACE. Another salvo came so close that the whiStling of the shells could be heard in the con ming tower. One exploded close to the ship. The DACE fired more tonpedoes no luck. She dived rapidly and deep, and fired yet an- other torpedo. This was not 8. case of hitting the target-it was case of saving the DACE for V-J Day. The next three minutes were spent hanging on as the sub rocked and was shaken by 18 large and loud depth charges.
 | The DACE maneuvered and evaded far below the surface while the Jap attempted to relocate her. He dropped 18 more charges which were not too close. A couple of hours later he had wandered so far away from the DACE that she secured from battle stations and allowed everyone not on watch to turn in for a wen-earned rest. Some slight damage from depth charging was noticed, but nothing serious = only the usual broken light bulbs. scattered cork. inSula- tion, some small leads broken and
