Spread Plant Food

When growing crops in beds, or
where limited garden area makes 1t
necessary to grow varieties close to-
gether, it is best to broadcast the
plant food over the entire bed at
the rate of four pounds per 100
square feet of garden area. The plant
food is then worked into the top
inch or two of seedbed. A plant food
spreader, if available, applies the
plant food evenly and quickly If
spreader is not available, apply half
of the plant food crosswise and the
other half lengthwise, to assure
more even distribution.
Hindu Theater
The rules of Hindu drama insist
that every play must have happy
ending. Death and deeply tragical
incidents are excluded from the
drama, and biting, scratching, kiss
ing, eating and sleeping are not ordi-
narily permitted on the stage, al
though such rules are occasionally
broken by playwrights.
Sort Screws
Save one-pound coffee jars for
your handy mans work shop. Nail
the covers of three or four under
an easy-to-reach shelf. Sort out
screws, nails, and what have you;
file them, by size and kind in the
jar; screw the jars with their con-
tents to the covers.

to leave depression OF about one

help settle the soil around the
plants roots as well as to make
the plant food available quickly for

Hindu Diet

Even in normal times the aver
age Hindu diet Is 1,750 calories, but
this average allows for extremely
wide fluctuations in both directions.
The 1,750 calorie diet was possible
only for those whose diet was IS to
70 per cent cereals, the remainder,
milk, vegetables, etc. However, the
average Indians diet is 80 to 80 per
cent cereals. Normally he gets 1850
to. 1900 calories from cereals and
a few more calories from other
foods.
Painting Light Fixtures
Metal light fixtures that have dis
colored may be painted, like radi-
ators, to match the woodwork, or
to match the ceiling. Clean them
with turpentine and fine steel wool.
Remove as many ornamental parts
as possible to simplify the design
before painting. Semi-gloss paint
on these is easier to keep clean
than fiat paint.
Careless Cooking
Much fat is wasted by careless
cooking. Once fat has been scorched.
overheated, or allowed to become
rancid, it is good for nothing but
soap making. In frying. heat should
always be carefully watched to pre-
vent wasteful scorching. To keep
fat from turning rancid or becom-
ing moldy. keep it dry, cold and
covered in dark place. Keep it in
the refrigerator, if possible.

Instead of putting French dress
ing on a salad Immediately before
serving, marinate for an hour and
then pour the surplus dressing
back into the container for use an
other day.

Russion Moves Believed
Linked to Kurdish Regime

ANKARA, Turkey, Mar. IA de-
laye6 P).-Diplomatic sources said
today that the reported movements
of Russian troops in Iran might be
aimed partly at backing up a new
Kurdish government said to have
been formed recently at Khoi, north
of Lake Urmia in Iran.
Formation of such a Kurdish gov.
ernment has not been announced Of
f1cially, but there have been fire.
quent reports of its existence. The
Kurds, belligerent nomads inhabit-
ing areas in Northwestern Iran,
Southeastern Turkey and North
eastern Iraq, long have been at odds
with the Turks.
Last December the Turkish Ma
tlonal Assembly extended a decree
under which the Kurds in South
eastern Turkey are administered
under military rule.
Reports here on Russian troop
movements said the Soviets had
swung southwestward from Khoi
along the Turkish border and to-
ward the point where the Turkish,
Iran and Iraq borders meet due
west OF the southern tip of Lake
Urmia.
This is an extremely mountainous
area, but to the south the land
levels out in the vicinity of the rich
Mosul oil fields around Kirkuk.

JERUSALEM, Mar. 15.-Jewish

The area where the new settle

by truck to Birya to prevent the
building of the projected new vii
lage, which has not been officially
approved by the British.
About 5000 Jews were estimated
to have been involved in the case
yesterday. Scores of settlers were
detained for a few hours and
then released. Today another 1900

Constant UN0 Session
Urged by vandenberg
By the Associofed Press

Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan today advocated con.
tinuous meetings of the United Ma.
tions Security Council so the big
powers could deal hourly with any
trouble afoot.
Il think it is infinitely less prob
able that little frictions will grow
into big ones if the members of the
Security Council, particularly the
five great powers, are facing each,
other eye to eye each morning." he
told the Senate.
Senator Vandenberg, a delegate
to the recent United Nations meet
ing in London, noted that the UNC
charter calls for such continuous
meetings. He said he supposed the
Council could scarcely be expected
to settle into such a regular sched-
ule so soon after its formation.
Senator Vandenberg conferred
with Secretary of State Byrnes be-
fore he addressed his colleagues.
He refused to talk about his con-
ference with Mr.. Byrnes but it was
reported that the action of spe.
cial Senate committee on legislation
to control atomic energy as well al
the international situation, was dis.

shortly to take up again the problem
OF self-government for India.

people may elect to remain within
the British Commonwealth.
If she does so elect" he added
ut must. be by her own free will
for the British Commonwealth and
Empire is not bound together by
chains Of external compulsion.
Mr.. Attlee said Britain, in making
a final treaty with India, was moi
going to hold out anything to oul
own advantage that would be to the
disadvantage of India"
He said he thought India woulc
find great advantages" within the

The house earlier advanced to
third reading bill repeating emer-
gency powers of the British cen
trail government in India and pro-
viding for an all-Indian council

legislative powers to the Indian
legislature, which can modify laws
passed by proclamation during the
war emergency.
The greater legislative powers are
to become effective April l and to
extend, for one year, with authority
to the British government to ex-
tend them an additional year by
