In this column. The one to which
I refer had long list Of ingredients
one Of which was coffee. Does any
one know it? Cook books Just don't

RCH's chief attraction.
Adjustable plate hangers are now
available at a small cost at the 5 &,
10 cents stores. Much more salts

clothes hangers. because they are
adjustable.

Having read, enjoyed and fire.
quently put into practice hints from
the RICH, I am very happy to be
able to answer query. In making
hangers for plates, I first tried wire
coat hangers but found them un-
manageably stiff. Three drapery

and less noticeable than ready made
ones. Hook one pin on the portion
Of the edge of plate you wish te

Connect these pins by making q
triangle across the back of the plate

(From Mrs. j. A. L., Washington
To Mrs. G. M. NJ, Beltsville, Md.
When refrigerator smells from
food and even the ice cubes smell,
you should defrost the coils. and
take all food stuffs out and give
the refrigerator thorough wash

strong solution of baking soda, or
use ammonia. I scour all shelves
with a good cleansing powder. Then
I wash my ice trays with good hot,
soapy water, a little ammonia added
and leave them air in the sunshine
before filling them again. This pro-
cedure should be done once a week
or every 10 days. Charcoal is o. k,
but you will find out you don't need
charcoal if you follow my instruc-
tons. Also you must never, never
put foodstuffs in a refrigerator hot

take your Midwest trip. took trip
as far West as Colorado Springs,
Denver and Cheyenne in May and
then places were harder to find to
stop and also food was more scarce.
We did not stop at cabins but at
tourist homes and sometimes hotels.
Rates were not high, either. Never
once were we turned away for want
OF a room. We got good meals also
by stopping in the larger towns.
Things I believe are better now
than they were in May. There are
many wonderful things to see If you
have never been West. Go and have

No Atomic Bombs Outside U. s.

WASHINGTON, P1-President Truman declared today there are no atomic bombs outside of the United States.
 Eben Ayers, assistant White House secretary, asserting he was speaking lon the authority of the President" told a news confer ence:
 "The only atomic bombs ever outside of the United States were those used in the Bikini test and those dropped on Japan"
 Ayers made his comment in re- ply to what he said was an inquiry about a radio broadcast last night by Drew Pearson.
 He said the broadcast reported that there are atomic bombs out side this country, and added: "that is untrue"
 President Truman told his last news conference that no atomic bombs had been sent to Great Britain.

Cards needed their second life but George Munger and a 20-hit barrage squared matters.
 Poised on the brink of elimina- tion after dropping behind 3-2 in games at Fenway Park, Brecheen took the Cards by the Scruff of their necks and lifted them back into the scramble, all even at three games each.
 Fate plays strange tricks on ball clubs and managers and now with the world championship hanging in the balance, Joe Cron- in finals falls back on FerriSs who didn't get a chance until the third game. Dyer must use Dickson, a wiry fellow who worked on relief and wasn't a starter" until June 9.
 An extra day of rest will benefit the Cards more than the Sox for the American League champs had done little more than wait since Sept. 13 when they clinched the pennant. Their problem has been to regain the fine edge they held in mid-season and they haven't done it yet.

Ferriss, their 25-game winner, primed for a second straight shut out bid and there is no reason to believe he won't be just as effec- tive as he was in Boston.
 The odds definitely are against the home club but that's nothing new. Coming from behind and up setting the dope has been a habit with Eddie Dyer and his St. Louis team ever since mid-Season when they trailed Brooklyn by 712 games and eventually won the flag in a playoff.
 All through this series, it has been the same story: lose today and then scramble to get it back by winning tomorrow. They're fresh out of ball games now and there will be no further come backs. This is it.
 After Howie Pollett dropped the opener, Brecheen shut out Boston. He wasn't available when the

Krug Seeks Action On Statehood

SEATTLE, (P) - Secretary of the Interior Krug, on a Pacific Coast trip and his third visit here in a year, said in an interview Saturday he planned to join Gov ernor Greuning of Alaska in seek ing action by appropriate Con gressional committees to bring Statehood to Alaska"
 He indicated reluctance, how ever. toward relinquishment ot his departments jurisdiction over the Territory's huge salmon indus try.
 Krug said he believed that if Alaska is given statehood it should be accorded the same jurisdiction rights over its fisheries and min eral resources as those of the western states with the exception of the salmon industry.
 Decisions on that industry, he said, should await final reports of a special congressional committee, headed by Henry M. Jackson, be- cause the scope of it's operations and huge investments involved.
