ONCE OVER LIGHTLY
BIZ MILDRED SCHOEN
AN OPEN LETTER TO CECIL BROWN

through the scrap heaps of the world
for the bits that will keep them alive
a little while longer. Think of peace
or care? OF course not. They think
of keeping body and soul together
until help comes, and the miserable
aching and gnawing and the pain in
their hearts is once more stilled.
They think of their children and the
food and care that they must have
to survive and they probably
think of us. And what do you sup
pose they think of us = knowing,
as they do, that we have more than
enough, that our children are we'll
fed and secure, in homes untouched
by war?
In England today, rationing is still
so strict that the average diet is still
many calories under adequacy. In
Paris even bread is rationed and
that ration has recently been drastic
ally cut. Famine stalks through
India, Greece and the Balkans -
the physical ravages of this war will
mot be repaired in our time.
Let us, the women of America,
in gratitude for what we have been
spared, plan and conserve as we
have never done before; let us sub
stitute peace" gardens for victory
gardens, and let us demand that our
government work out a sensible
plan of rationing that will insure a
steady flow of life-giving supplies
to those in dire need.
Every man returned from service
abroad that l have talked to, Mr..
Brown (and they are many, has ex-
pressed immediate concern and
shock at the sight of plenty and
our casual acceptance of what the
rest of the world is literally starving
for. Their comments on our COM
plants over the butter shortage
have been pointed and bitter. We
have a chance to redeem ourselves
and remove forever the stigma of
selfishness, not only in the eyes of
the hungry world, but in the eyes
of our own men who fought that
we at home might never know suf-
fering as the rest of the world has
known it.
Certainly I'm for rationing again.
And I have an idea that most of
the women in America feel the
same way. And if they do, believe
me, Mr.. Brown, the rest of the world
will be fed.
Sincerely,
MILDRED Schoen.

March %, 1916.

March 20, 1916.
MY dear Mr.. Brown:
In your broadcast of March 20, you
invited your listeners to write you
their opinions on whether or not
our nation should return to food
rationing, in order to assure
adequate food supplies for the starv-
ing nations who are depending
heavily on us to relieve their hunger.
You doubted, you said, that even
with the best intentions in the world,
we will voluntarily cut down our
excessive consumption Of food, or
our waste of it, to the point that
we can guarantee the necessary sup
ply to those in desperate need.
l want to go on record as heartily
approving a resumption of rationing.
1 believe that the problem of feed
ing starving world is particularly
the problem of the women of Amer
lea - and our greatest opportunity
to make the most important con-
tribution possible to the peace that
we seek - and MUST achieve.
AS you pointed out, and as Mrs.
Roosevelt and others have repeated
ly said, "a hungry people cannot
think of peace" Hunger has always
seemed to me to be the greatest
indignity to body, mind and spirit
that man is called upon to suffer.
The thought of the millions of wo-
men all over the world, who, starry
ing themselves, have had to watch
their children starve before their
eyes, is uncomfortable The effects of
these years of Transformation and
malnutrition on the generations to
come are incalculable.
We in this country have been so
fortunate. Except for those who lost
their loved ones; those who actually
fought the war, and the wounded
for whom the war will never end,
we have been called upon to make
no real sacrifices. Our homes are in
tact; we live in the midst of the
greatest plenty; our wartime ration
ing worked no hardship at all on
anyone except single people, or those
small families whose ration stamps
were actually inadequate to their
needs. Still, everyone ate and no
one worked on an inadequate diet
here as they did, and are still doing,
in England and France - in fact,
all over the globe.
Heartsick, homeless, hungry, the
broken families of Europe pick

Stains on washable Wnlte linens
and cOttOns respond to chlorine
bleach.
It's a sad day in the household
when someone tips a glass over
on a polished table top, drops jam
or jelly on fine damask, or spills
hot chocolate on a Sunday-best
dress
The best insurance against such
accidents is to have on hand a re-
liable chart listing spot-and-stain
removal methods. Quick treatment
with the correct remedy often
keeps a stain from setting" and
spreading. Many stains can be COM
pletely removed at home, but make
sure you know what effect the
remedy will have on the fabric and
color.
Stains on washable cottons
and linens are the least cause for
worry, for they are most easily
treated at home. Coffee, tea and
fruit stains on these fabrics are re-
moved with boiling water. The trick
is to stretch the stained fabric over
a bowl and tie it securely. Then
pour boiling water over the stain
from height of two or three feet.
The treatment for wine stains is the
same, except that salt should be
Sprinkled on the stain Immediately.
This same bowl method may be
used when chlorine bleach is the
reagent for chocolate or cocoa, grass,
indelible pencil, lipstick and old
coffee stains on washable white cot
tons and linens. The fabric is stretch
ed over the bowl and tied in place.
Two medicine choppers are needed,
dish of water and bottle of good
chlorine bleach. The stain is moist
ened with clear water from one
dropper. Then the bleach is applied,
using the second dropper After a
moment, apply water again, then
rinse the fabric with clear water.
Repetition of this procedure may be
necessary. The chlorine bleach used
for this purpose is the same that
serves so many cleaning and steriliz-
ing tasks about the home.
A bottle of carbon tetrachloride
should be on hand to sponge non
washable fabrics that have been
stained with coffee, grease, glue mud,
paint, varnish. If there is any doubt
about the effect of the remedy on
the fabric in removing any stain,
it is best to send the stained article
Immediately to the dry cleaner, tell
ing him what caused the damage.
Prompt action brings best results
on furniture stains, too. Wipe up
spilled liquids Immediately. Then go
over the surface with your regular
furniture polish. Light scratches
usually disappear under polishing.
Deep scratches may need special
treatment with a matching wood
stain.

SugarleSs Grapefruit

Many persons are finding that
grapefruit makes an excellent break
fast without the usual covering of
sugar over the segments. If the
grapefruit it too tart, syrup or honey
may be poured over the fruit the
night before and set away in the
refrigerator
For dessert, try broiled grapefruit.
Cut the fruit in halves, remove
seeds and core, loosen the sections,
cover with honey, and put the halves
under the broiler for about Is
minutes or until the fruit is lightly
Drowned and heated through. This
is the sugar-saving way Formerly
we used the sugar of course, how
ever the honey gives a different
flavor you may like better.
With eggs still much in abundance
and reasonable in price, we can

Get Out of Chino
An Editorial

Although the general assembly of the United Nations
has been postponed is still fitting to observe the
period from Sept. p to Sept % as United Nations
have also been designated as Get Out of China Week
A realistic appraisal of the United Nations shows
that this organization today is far from the vision of
Roosevelt 1t his dream that the peoples who had
banded together to crush fascsm the backgrounds
of this globe would work closely together to keep
the peace. Actually the power politicians who have
musced in to control foreign policy are using the
United Nations in effort to gain domination of the
whole world through new war; if necessary
Getting out of China is therefore essential to making
the United Nations into the organization it set out to be-
Our presence here strengthens US periasts who work
hand in hand with the Chinese warors who would crush
Chinese democracy. 1t is duty to help create united
China and this cannot do long as American reac-
ton is allowed to intervene and support Chinese reaction
in its armed assault the plain people We ought to get
out - now.
The us. policy of intervention behalf of the Chi
Greek monarchistsfascists, of that collaboratonst
Roxas in his drive to quidate the Filipino patriots and
of the general policy of fighting the sincere fighters
against fascSm For all practical purposes foreign
policy seems directed by Hearst and Wall Street
To change this the United Nations must be strength
ened and supported critical examination of our foreign
relations followed by determined drive to set America

What Wall Street wants

ing accounts of the recent lynch
ings.
AGAIN, what is American poi
icy? Secretary Byrnes' recent
speech in Stuttgart, Germany,
should be projected against the
background of the following
facts ascertained in Paris.
German big business and Ger
man industry have re-established
their contacts with American
monopolies and American banks.
German monopoly capitalism has
been successfully incorporated as
junior partner in the Anglo
Saxon capitalist combine. The
leaders of German heavy indus
try, among them Germany's
most prominent war criminals,
have been given to understand
that they viii be immune and
will not be tried, but rather that
they will be used once more to
direct the German Industrial out
put.
A more startling manifestation
of that policy is to be seen in the
American and British attitude to-
ward German holdings in Swift
erland. These holdings are esti-
mated unofficially at two billion
dollars. Originally, the Swiss
Government stood pat on its laws
concerning banking secrecy in
order to maintain its reputation
as a hot money country.

and British pressure for the sur
render of these German assets

If they don't get democracy they

all the Chinese people need. But
