ELECTRIC BROILER,

(Fron Mrs. M. J. NJ, Washington. J
Being a new bride and naturally
new housewife, I never thought !
would be able to help any one in
household matters, but I think can
now. One of my wedding gifts was
an electric broiler, so in answer to
the person inquiring about one, let
me pass on my information. I find
that they throw very little heat to
the room, although the heat inside
is quite intense. Mine has two
heats, high and low and has direc-
tions as to what heat to use for Ger
tain foods. It really is q big help.
It takes up little room and can be
used to help keep food warm for a
considerable length of time. Then,
too, the removable top enables you
to serve directly from the broiler.
wouldn't do without it, now that I
can see how much bother it saves in
cooking. Aside from occasional
turning, your food requires little
attention.
CLEANING STRAW HANDBAG?
SALADS
From Mrs. T. L. w., Charles
tom, S. c.
I hope some of your readers can
give me some information concern
ing cleaning a pocketbook made of
straw which is still good but dis
colored and soiled. It is made of
sisal, I believe.
To the gentleman inquiring about
salads which require neither mayon-
naise nor oil dressing. I can say
that mixed vegetable salad Of let
tuce, tomatoes, carrots, celery, rad
ishes, cucumber, green pepper and
bits of broken bacon is delicious, with
just salt and bit OF vinegar
sprinkled over all.
WASHING CAT
From Miss G. T., W1Shington.)
Recently I noticed a request from
a cat-loving reader Of your page for
a good method of washing cat. I
have seen no practical reply so far,
so as T am an ardent cat lover my
self, I want to pass on to her the
directions given me several years ago
by. a friend who had white cat.
She told me to turn down the top
Of cotton flour bag or pillow
case and run a string in the casing
so made, so that the bag can be tied
around the cats neck. Have ready
three pals of warm water, one a
good soap powder suds and the other
two clear, put cake of mild soap
inside the bag, then get the cat in
also, and when the top is tied set
the cat into the suds. Wash the
cats face carefully with a cloth, be-
ing sure not to get a drop Of soap in
its eyes. Then start washing the
body, using the bag for a washcloth,
and rubbing the soap all over the
fur. After a quick but thorough
shampoo, move the soap up to neck
and get it out Of the bag, hold the
cat up and press out all the suds you
can from it and the bag, then set the
poor helpless creature into the first
rinse pail, and then into the second

COIL BEDSPRING?
from M. B. F., Lexington

(Fron Mrs. H. E. S., Arlington.)
Somewhere I read directions for
making an ordinary coil bedspring
into box spring at home. Can any
one tell me where to get such di-
rections or how to go about doing it?

 Cancer Trend Grows Worse

Chicago, June 28 = CUP) = In- dustry faces a serious problem in the constantly increasing number of cases of occupational cancer, pr. w. c. Hueper, New York, said today in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
 Hueper, a staff member of the Warmer Institute for Therapeutic Research, said most occupational cancers appeared as the result of modern industrial development.
 "The present rapid development of industry tends to extend the hazards of the known industrial carcinogenic (cancerous) agents while at the same time creating new ones which may cause the appear ance of cancers 10 to 20 years hence, unless concerted efforts are made in time to discover and con- trol such dangers by appropriate

Bread Grain Export Near GooI IofU.S.

Washington, June 28-f(UP) - President Truman reported today that the United States had shipped S,50O,OO0 tons of bread grains to famine areas abroad in the first half of 1946.
 He said the nations goal of G. UOO,OOO tons of relief grains for the relief grains for the hungry people of other nations would be achieved in another three weeks"
 But the crisis is not over," MT. Truman said in a statement ac- companying a report on famine relief submitted by the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion
 Ufges Conservation
 He urged Americans to continue conserving food during the coming months to keep the nations em- ergency famine relief program run ming at high level.
 "The very fact that housewives today often find it hard to buy a loaf of bread is evidence of the success of our famine emergency program" the president said.
 'The loaf of bread and the bag of flour that they don't buy mean that much more for hungry chil- dren abroad"
 CO-OperatiOn Medal
 MT. Truman said "Co-operation and determined effort by the pulp hc-each one of us-must be con- tinued during the coming months of hunger abroad"
 MT. Truman attributed the pro- grams good record to "the splendid Cooperation of Americans in con- serving bread at home and in pub lie eating places, the remarkable production by. American farmers, the unstinting cooperation of mill krs and bakers. and the united efforts of the Famine Emergency Committee and the various agencies 6k our Government.
 He said that shortly after July l Secretary of Agriculture Clinton 2 Anderson would send him final Aures on all food, in addition to grain, which this country has sent to famine areas.

 w. Arthur Cole, managing direc- tor of the photo-engraving board trade, said that permission to use the coins had been received from the Treasury Department while many of New York's 139 photo Engraving, gravure and offset con- 'cerrfs were planning shutdowns within six days.
 Contrary to, popular belief, and to my surprise, there appears to be no law forbidding melting down dollars" Cole said. He said he had written authorization from E. H.

Sugar Rotioning
 To Continue Year

Chicago, June 28. (UP)-Geof- frey Baker, deputy O.P.A. price ad- ministrator, predicted today that sugar rationing probably will be necessary flor another year beyond April, 1947.'
 Addressing the National Con- fectioner's Association Convention Baker said that the sugar ration ing program might be heightened beyond the planned expiration date next April because of:
 l. Increased emphasis on for- eign shipments in the past few months.
 2. A decline from previous estimates in 1946 production in Cuba and Puerto Rica 3. The possibility enA As U. s. will have to shas0 1D NanM supplies with foreign aodss again next year.

RoyoII Fosters Preparedness To Keep Peace

Washington, June "A. (UP- World peace depends on the United States convincing other nations it wants peace and can defeat any combination of enemies, Undersec- retary of War Kenneth c. Royall said today.
 He said in speech to the In- dustrial College of the Armed Forces that love of peace without preparedness would contribute to world tranquility.
 "The doctrines of sweetness and light May well be taken by some potential foes as symbol of weakness, as an, invitation to con- quest and hence will encourage rather than discourage war;" Royal said. ..,...5

Eastern Children Have Poor Diets

Boston, June 28 - CUP) - Dr. H. B. Pierce, professor of physiolog- ical chemistry at the University of Vermont, estimated today that 85 percent of all children in eastern states as far South as Maryland suffer nutritional deficiencies be- cause of faulty diets.
 Dr. Pierce based his conclusions on clinical study made in Burling- ton, Vt., schools compared with re- suits of similar experiments in other states. The study showed vari- ous deficiencies traceable to lack of vitamins. Dr. Pierce made the statements at the Massachusetts Nutrition Institute conducted by the American Red Cross.

|Dry-ice Deorth Coming tn Stote

Hartford, June 28 (UP) = A coming shortage of dry-ice which would reduce shipments of food supplies was predicted today by by State Food Administrator Henry B. Mosle.
 We've already received reports of shipments being held up for fear of spoilage," Mosle said. He explained that dry-ice is a by-product in the manufacture of alcohol which is made from molasses, the supply of which has been reduced.
 A shortage of dry-ice would also impair fire fighting, added Mosle. since its basic ingredients, carbon dioxide, is widely used in extin- glliSherS.

FOR THE PEOPLES HEALTH

Tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths each year; hundreds
of thousands or millions of people struggling with unnecessary
physical handicaps-blind or deaf or crippled or half sick, and all
quite needlessy. This is not a record for any nation to be proud
of. The cost in human suffering cannot be measured. In cold
money terms, the loss is likewise huge. 1t is in fact many times
the amount required to prevent these evils.
It's no wonder that the American people are becoming in
creaSngly dissatisfied with this situation. It's no wonder that they
are now demanding a positive program for improving the nations
health.
Over 10 years ago the federal government set up a nation
wide system of insurance against the>hazardS of old age and I'M
employment. We are now the only great industrial country which
does not have similar social insurance against the cost of illness.
1t is high time for national action to provide cash payments in time
of sickness and to remove financial barriers to adequate medical
care.
Joe Worker and his family illustrate the typical situation in
many wage earnerS families. Joe is tired after the long war years
in which he pushed himself to the utmost to speed victory. Hours
were long and working conditions were not of the best. He looks
older than his years, even though he doesn't know what's wrong
with him. Why waste money on going to the doctor, now that it is
SO hard to make ends meet?
His wife does go to the doctor-She has a pain in her back
that she cannot seem to get rid OF. Maybe a specialist would be
able to help her more, but she is afraid of expensive treatment.

of Negro athletes is a point / shall not undertake to resolve. 1t is
sufficient that such is the case, and it is important that it remain
the case. All Of the propaganda in the world can never be as efec-
tive as a sound mind in a strong body acting with coordinated
effort to excel in clean, honest sport.
Notwithstanding the fact that some unathletc thinkers with
narrow minds are trying to prove that physical triumph is purely
animal triumph, Negro boys and girls should take advantage of the
fine weather that is on the way and take every opportunity to play
hard at some sport. 1t is a sure way to rid the mind and body Of
dangerous poisons. The lessons learned on the field of sport will
come in handy in later life. Athletics develop the mind as well as
actions.
Training the mind and the body to function at their highest
levels is the surest way to combat stupid racial propaganda. To
survce it is necessary to be alert and be able to act swiftly. Now
that spring is here and summer is on the way, let's start building a
finer generation of ourselves by giving the youngsters a chance to
take part in sports.

to meet consumer demand in the

tender for wheat flour in baking
bread. Only a small quantity Of
potatoe can be used-about me

6 cups of flour. TIE mashed pota-
toe is thinned with potatoe water
then mixed with the softened

stirred in to make a dough or a

however, to extend their flour sup
plies with oatmeal, Or corn meal
