Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT

Sumner heat and humidity
make special problems in clothing
care for the housewife. Wooden or
plastic hangers for clothes are
better than wire or cardboard
hangers. Wire hangers may rust in
damp weather and leave stains
on clothes; cardboard hangers be-
come limp.
Leather gloves and pocketbooks
stored in drawers often gather
mildew in summer. To protect
them, dry in the sun and air;
then, wrap first in tissue paper,
and then in waxed paper.
Heat rots rubber and dries and
weakens leather. Therefore, hot
attics are poor places to store
winter overshoes, rubbers and
leather shoes. A cool dry place
is recommended. Mud should be
cleaned off shoes Immediately,
and never left to "dry on and
make a permanent stain on the
leather. Clean white shoes off the
feet and allow them to dry thor
oughly before wearing. Leather
is weak when wet. Shoes worn
damp may stretch out of shape.
Umbrellas folded up when
damp are likely to mildew. Leave

Travel Signs On
Parkway Wanted
Senator B alley Endorses
Request For More InfOr-
national Signs

Washington - Endorsing the
move of the North Carolina trav-
ell council to bring about the ia
stallation of international signs
along the Blue Ridge parkway,
Senator Josiah w. Bailey today
requested National Park service
headquarters in Chicago to per-
NIT erection of suitable markers
as an aid to motorists travelling
the parkway route.
The senator's action, through
his secretary, Kidd Brewer, came
in response to an inquiry from
Earl J. Petro, Jr., executive man
ager of the travel council at Pine
hurst.
Speaking for the council, Petro
pointed out that although the or
ganization was fin complete
agreement" with the parkway
commission policy against COM
mercial advertising along the
parkway, it recognized motorists
definite need for information re-
garding necessary travel facili-
ties, food, lodging, gas and oil.
Pointing out such facilities were
available only in towns near the
parkway, the council suggested
installing signs at appropriate in
tersections showing mileage to
nearby cities, along with some in
dication of services available
there. A typical sign might read:
"Linville Xxx Miles, Lodging and
Restaurant Facilities, Motor Serv-
ice"
The councils general plan was
presented to the parkway super
intendent several months ago, ac-
cording to Petro, but no official
action has resulted.
After contracting the Washing
ton office of the National Park
service today, Brewer indicated
a strong note Of endorsement was
being sent to Chicago headquar-
tiers, Incorporating Senator Bail
ey's request for approval and per-
mission for erecting necessary
signs.

Anacostia Eleven Hit
With Echaves Out;
Eastern Better
By George Huber

Chow Echaves, Anacostia Highs
speediest running back and biggest
scoring threat, Is out Of the Lineup
for several games and possibly the
remainder Of the season as the re-
suit Of a Clipped knee received
against Gonzaga last week.
This puts big crimp In the
Indians attack just at q time when
they were hoping to go places. With
Behaves missing, the opposition can
concentrate on watching Fullback
Louis Groot and Gene Schroeder,

the Indians play Wilson, which
showed it is yet to be reckoned with
this year with its upset win over
G. w. High last Friday.
The Tigers, incidentally, also are
slowed down by minor injuries such
as charley horses and pulled muscles
With several key players affected. It
won't keep them from playing but
does cut into their effectiveness.
With the injury of Echaves,
Coach Zuzu Stewart OF Anacostia
lust about Is ready to throw away
that No. SO jersey that has been
most popular with high school boys
since Sammy Baugh made 1t IA
nous. -Four seasons ago Jim Flah-
erty, Anacostia's ace kicker and
passer, was injured while wearing
No. 80 and missed five games, and
now the same happens to Echaves,
also sporting 80.
Other high school players around
town wearing 80 are jess Houston of
Roosevelt, Jiggs De Atley of Tech,
Bill Segal of Central and Bud
Zickerfoose of Eastern, but none Of
these is as good as Echaves.
Eastern's defending champions
have shown a big Improvement
since their opening game loss to
Western. Their victory over Gen.
trail last week gave them the con-
f1dence they need, and suddenly
things are beginning to click. Green
players at last are catching on to
things Coach Dick Mentzer has
been pounding into them since
practice opened, and In scrimmages
yesterday and Monday they looked
better than at any previous time
this season.

Is that Ed Smith, who hasn't played
yet, probably will be ready for the
big game against Tech this Friday.
He's had charley horse, but If he's
in shape this week as expected it
will give Eastern another top-grade
halfback to run with Jerry Osburne.
Osburne and Ends Phil Taylor and
Bill Foley have been the three
standouts at Eastern so far, but with
the others rounding into real form
it's adding more balance to the team.
Buddy Carhart is getting better all

More Fighting Spirit.
Seen Redskin Need
las Giants Invade
Bv Lewis F. Atchison

What the Redskins need to beat
the New York. Giants Sunday Is
more madness and less Ynooine
about injuries, inexperience. etc.
ad nauseum.
They were three touchdowns be-
hind Green Bay and rallied to win
going away, all because everybody
got mad In the dressing room be-
tween halves. We remember Center
Clyde Ehrhardt standing up in the
same room after the game, his nose
as raw as peeled potato. perspira-
ton coursing down his body, still
letting OF steam. Honey Chile
could have WHIPPED the Bears single
handed that night.
Coach Turk Edwards might ster
up Ki Aldrieh's efficiency few
points by keeping him on the bench
la while. Nothing increases the
Texans blood pressure so rapidly
as rest on the old pineboard. The
promise of an extra steak for din
ner might encourage al Demao tc
greater effort, although he's beer
stewing two weeks because Of an
injured ankle and should be about
ready.
The remedy for long Jawn Adams
is puzzling. He looks down on the
oposition merely because OF his g.
feet-7-inch architecture, not be-
cause hes q snob and II he ever
worked up a peeve at the opposing
end it would be q riot. But Adams
Is q picture OF detection eyerytime
he picks himself up of the field,
even when he's made q terifiic block
or tackle.
You could 60 down the entire
roster, picking flaws, making sug-
gestions and jabbing the needle here
and there, but 1t all adds up to
one thing, the teams attitude. The
Skins have got to get mad to win,
and they've got to win If they hope
to keep their Eastern pro crown.
This game can make or break
the Tribe. A defeat need not be
fatal to Its hopes, q respectable loss,
that is. But If the Giants, with
their De Witt Coulter and Ed
White-two of the finest tackles in
the circuit, according to all reports,
make mince meat Of 'em, the Red
skins might as well fold their tepee
and steal quietly away until 1947.
The customers want q fighting
team. Nobody loves q loser, but
they want a fighting loser and one
defeat need not mean the end Of the
Tribes hopes. But If they get mad
and play the brand Of football they
have shown before they can win.
It's worth trying to win.
