(Fronl Mrs. II. P. L., SilDer Spring. J
I have found the easiest way to
manage on trip is to forget every
thing but milk. 1t doesn't hurt the
children at all for a day or so, and
makes everything much easier. My
husband is doctor and he en-
dorses this. A little toast or crack

Have your husbands family get
supplies for the babies before you

TROUSER TROUBLE?
From Mrs. A, J. B., Alexandria,
Perspiration has not only dis
colored the knees of my husband s
trousers but has also caused them
to finally split. The suits are
cleaned frequently, and in the case
of older trousers 7 have washed
them successfully. Is there any way
thin lining can be attached to
absorb the perspiration and yet not
affect the appearance of the trous-

RADIO PLEA.
From Mrs. C. C. p, Washington. J
There has been so much said
about radio programs that I'd like
to put in my 2 cents worth. I
think each person is entitled to his
own likes and dislikes on the radio.
But think the big and only trouble
is that some of the kindest people
in the world are thoughtless, and
keep their radios on loud, annoying
other people with their programs
I live in an apartment and at pres
ent am listening (much against the
mood I'm in to a ball game across
the court and some classical singing
in the adjoining apartment. II
these kind, but thoughtless, people
would obey a few rules 1t would
make lots of people very happy and
far less nervous.
l. Keep radio just loud enough
for you to hear yourself.
2. Never keep radio in or too
near window, as this is most annoy
ing to neighbors.
3. Never put radio against the
wall that separates you from one in
next apartment.
4. Don't turn radio on until 8 in
morning or after II at night.
l love to listen to my own radio
at times that suit me, but other peo-
ple's have about made nervous
wreck of me.
Dear, dear people, won't you
please Cooperate?

PRESERVING NYLONS;

w Wao111lNA W1NDoWo,
From Mrs, r. L. H., Mclean, Va
Fill bowl full of Ice and water
and sprinkle a lot of salt over all
Dip nylons In and leave for awhile
Then rinse. This method is only
for new nylons, and does help to
keep them from getting runs.
Tip to new homemaker: To wash
your windows the simplest way, try
using vinegar. You need only one
cup for all your windows.
FOOD DOORS.
From Mrs. D. w., Hyattsuille)
To Mrs. G. M. NJ, Beltsville, about
food odors in the refrigerator: I
find that by keeping all my food
covered, odors do not spread SO
quickly. Instead of using covered
dishes, I prefer to use pint and
quart Jars with lids, since these
tend to give more space in the re-
frigerator. If butter is always COW
cred 1t will not be affected by food
odors.
OF course, the refrigerator should
be defrosted once a week and at
this time washing ice trays in hot
sudsy water, and refilling with fresh
water, will keep fresh ice cubes.
A warm solution of tablespoons
borax to quart of water is excel
lent for washing the walls and
shelves of the refrigerator at de-
frosting time, to remove food odors.

Avoid Side Payments
For Homes, Veterans
Are Told by VA Aide

Morgan B. Callahan, loan guar
antee officer for the Veterans
Administration Washington Office,
today cautioned veterans not to make
hidden payments" for homes in
excess of the appraised value in
order. to have loans approved for
guarantee.
Reports have been received that
"side payments" have been de-
manded by owners of property, he
said. Under such arrangements,
contracts submitted to the Veterans
Administration show an amount less
than the actual purchase price
asked, he said
Mr.. Callahan asked for co-opera-
ton Of veterans to avoid such COL
lusion. Otherwise, he said, VA can
do little in such cases.
The CT Bill of Rights, he pointed
out, will not permit VA to guarantee
a loan when the sales price is higher
than the value determined by the
VA appraiser.
Synan Says Permits are Probed.
Last night Edward M. Synan, area
manager for Civilian Production
Administration, told veterans
committee that construction permits
for other than veterans homes are
issued only after hard boiled ap-
praisal, despite instances that might
appear unjustified
His statement was made before

ans Committee on Housing, which
represents 54 veterans, organiza-
tions, at the Veterans Information
Center. 1850 Pennsylvania avenue

about 40 individuals, including sew

cerned with housing.
Members of the Housing Com

remained unconvinced that steel and
