REMOVING TAR.
From Mrs. S. M. S., Fahfar
Stdtion.j
For Mrs. d. r. Mel, Washington.
My children, too, have a fancy for
the gooey tar, I have gotten it of of
their clothes by rubbing the spot
with lard and then letting it remain
rolled up over night Wash out in
hot soapy water. Kerosene will also
remove tar. I use nail polish re-
mover to take it off of their hands.
I hope this works for you. Some
times it is necessary to repeat
process.

COOP MARKET.
From C. E. H., Arlington.)
Mrs. F. r. of Falls Church will
find large coop market on Semi
nary road in darlington, and on
Wisconsin avenue in Georgetown on
the east side near p street. But
why doesn't she inquire for like-
minded people in Falls Church, with
whom she could form, a buying club,
and from that could grow a con-
venient local coop?

SHRUNKEN DRESS?
From M. b., Bettesda.)
I wonder If some of your readers
could help me out. I have quite
an expensive spun rayon dress;
formerly, I always had it dry
cleaned, but friends told me it would
wash beautifully. 1t did, but it has
shrunk so I cannot even get into
it.. Is there anything could do to
bring it back into shape so could
wear it? I really cannot afford to
throw it away. 1t seems summer
spun rayon should wash without
shrinking. I washed it in lukewarm
water.
REMOVING STAIN FROM
SWEATER?
FUDGE SQUARES.
QUERIES?
From Mrs. P. c. r., Arlington.)
wonder if any one knows how to
remove a yellow stain from white
sweaters. I have tried mild soap
suds without success.
A good recipe for Fudge Squares
is one, which altered slightly, from
a well-known cook book. One-third
cup shortening, / cup granu1ated
sugar, / egg beaten, 2 ounces choco-
late unsweetened, "a cup sifted
all purpose flour. u teaspoon bak-
ing powder, Il teaspoon salt,
q cup raisinS or nuts. Work the
shortening and sugar together until
creamy. Add egg and melted choco-
late. Add sifted flour, baking
powder and salt. Then add nuts or
raisins. Turn into creased pan
8xSx2 inches and bake In oven OF
$50 degrees for u hour. Cut into
squares after mixture has cooled,
otherwise the squares will crumble.
Makes 16 large squares.
Would some one know OF simple
chocolate frosting recipe? I need
one that is foofproof!
Last, I would like to know where
to write for correspondence courses
Of a college level Do any of the
District universities offer this?
feel that the Readers Clearing
House is The Star for me, and I
have learned many useful things
from it.
