Whats YOUR Hobby?
Bv Betty Miles

Mrs. o. B. Bowman of Washing
ton has made bottles her business
She collected over a thousand OF
them-from every State in the Union
from Switzerland, Bohemia, Poland
Chilli, the Canal Zone, Palestine
Canada, the Philippines, Hawaii and
several other global points.
A milk bottle, salvaged from q
trip to Canada, was her first ac-
QUESTION. Since 1941 she's acquired
the bulk of her collection, including
a set of animal bottles, batch OF
very, very small bottles and another
batch of small perfume bottles. She
has a rock bottle from the Black
Hills of Dakota and one made in
London in 1772. She has a bird
like bottle from Panama and one
shaped like an elephant from Lubin
France.
Interesting is her family of soda
bottles. First, there's the round
bottom bottle, used in 1870; next,
the pop" bottle, equipped with a
cork that produced the popping
sound, and last, the modern soda
bottle as we know it.
Mrs. Bowman has found some OF
her collection through her travels
in the Middle West and Southern
States. Some she's acquired
through letters to various chambers
of commerce. Occasionally she'll
contact strange person from spots
unknown whose name she sees In
the paper. The response from total
strangers has been amazingly graf
ifying-she has several hundred let
tiers from people she has never seer

Most of us would probably classify
a grain of rice as IAN object taken
for granted" But when names and
addresses and much more lengthy
phrases are written of a grain OF
rice the picture changes.
Without Understanding the i'm
agination Of our readers, we thought
pictorial proof would help. But
there we met with defeat. We didn't
have the equipment powerful enough
to elbow up" the rice SO that 1t
would be as readable in the paper
as 1t Is in reality. It would take a
machine with microscopic qualities,
we were told. And newspapers usu-
ally don't bother with machines like
that.
Mr.. William J. Nordvedt of Wash
ington is the rice writer We have
in mind. AS one might imagine
he uses a magnifying glass when
working, and writes with pen and
ink. He favors a very tiny English
pen point. A coat of colorless nail
polish protects the rice after the
inscription is made.
Mr.. Nordvedt's interest in rice
writing began when he met Mr.. E.
L. Blystone at the Worlds Fair in
New York. Mr.. Blystone is reputed
to be the worlds champion rice
writer, with a record of 14,164 let
tiers on one grain.
Rice writing became quite time
absorber for Mr.. Nordvedt while on
12-hour duty as ward attendant
during the war. He's written the
Is words of st. John, iii.16 on one
grain. He's also written the Lords
Prayer (65 words on one grain of
rice, using two magnifying glasses.
If you're rice writer-or po-
tential rice writer-you're the per-
son Mr.. Nordvedt would like to
meet. He's failed to locate any in
Washington.

COOKING OATMEAL;

A lady wanted to know how to

boiler which has heated in the
meantime. In this way the pans
stay clean and the oatmeal is cook

GROUP GATHERINGS.


fFron, E. X. p, Washington.J
e. A. r.. of Arlington expresses
similar social experiences as I, too,
ind here In Washington-that is
wholesome recreation or gatherings
for our age group; however, I have
found pleasant and satisfactory con-
tact at affairs at the Unitarian
Church and the weekly adult forums
sponsored by the Libraries of Wash
ington. The latter is an adult read
ing group where one has opportu-
nifty to express oneself or to only
listen and absorb knowledge in a
group of others near his or her own
age.
fFrom Mrs. r. /. H., Jr., BetheSdd.j
The letter written by Miss E. A. R,
think is worthy of an answer. If
she will accept few suggestions
from some one younger and let us
know how it comes out it would
be very interesting. In the first place
too much reserve is almost worse
than none as one misses great deal
of fun that way. And one never out
grows the need of initiative, especi-
ally as In the case of Miss E. A. r.
when you have been uprooted from
your native surroundings.
One suggestion would be to enroll
IN class or two at night at oul
large, centrally located university
taking some Portuguese or biology
Then use these classes as stepping
stone to other social activities. The
kids will be there but you will have
an opportunity to meet new people
in your age group.
If you don't know how to play
bridge, learn. There are clubs, etc.
which offer lessons. Perhaps some
one can tell you of the ones in your
neighborhood who lives over there
Or else you can start your own club
Next, have you ever thought in
passing that you might like to know
something about photography, wood
work or any other skill? Even if
you do it by yourself instead of
doing it in class you will soon find
you have something new and inter-
esting to do and talk about. Sooner
or later you will find at least one
person who is interested in it toe
and there you have new friend.
Canoeing is sport which leads to
making great many friends. After
the initial outlay on a canoe the
upkeep is very small and member
ship at one of the boat clubs is in
finitesimal in cost compared to the
pleasure and contacts you find.
I would not hesitate to recommend
these activities to any one twice

BAssINETTE VS.. CRIB.

(Fron1 Mrs. A. c., I'd, Bethesdd.J
For Mrs. E. II. H., Washington. I
would advise you to buy a bassinette
for your newborn baby. My baby
girl was born a year ago and used
her bassinette until she was about
4 months old or older. The advan-
tage to q bassinette is that it saves
more work in washing and has
another even greater advantage If
you have your nursery upstairs as I
have. I brought the bassinette
downstairs and it saved many steps.
When we wished to go visiting or
even out to dinner or lunch, the bas-
sinette was placed in the back seat
Of the car and taken with us while
baby slept or played peacefully
When our baby was Az months old I
travelled by train to Chicago alone
with her and she never fused the
whole journey. Her bassinette, I'm
sure, made her feel more at home
AS for the sewing part, there is none
needed. You can buy lining and
mattress for it, very inexpensive.
at downtown department stores. If
your baby is to be born during cool
weather, the bassinette also offers
the advantage Of warmth and keeps
drafts off baby. Be sure the legs of
bassinette are collapSible. I hope
I've helped you in some way and
the best Of luck.
This Is the first time I've ever
made a contribution to the RICH but
I've never missed reading it since
being discharged from the A. N. C.
over years ago when I started
housekeeping. 1t helped me so much
and I've passed on so many recipes
to my mother, who lives in the Mid
die West, and she enjoys them as
much as we do. I'm all for an RICH
on Saturday and Sunday.
(Front Mrs. A. F. B., Greenbelt)
To Mrs. Z. H. H., Washington. 7
found the baby's carriage took the
place Of q bassinette or crib. 1t was
collapsible and easily carried up
stairs or down.
The baby was ready to move about
quite lot before its crib was set up,
therefore eliminating a lot of work
and 1t really was convenient.
(Fronl Mrs. L. M, Alexandria,
In answer to Mrs. E. H. H. of
Washington, found a crib much
more practical than baSsinette as
your baby soon grows out of it in
two months or so, while it can use
q crib for two or three years. AS
TO the extra laundry, one small sheet
. day isn't much work and you
would need pads either in crib or
o bassinette.
would like the recipe for Rol Pulls
A. M. III Arlington offered. Also
offer some Norwegian recipes to her.
fFrom Mrs. H. M. L., Washington.)
To Mrs. E. H. H.: My advice, as
the mother of a 5-month-old' baby
boy, is definitely to buy a crib
forget the bassinette. My pediatri-
clan says that most of the cases of
strangulation in young babies is due
to their beds and bedding. Even a
tiny baby needs roomy bed with a
firm mattress. Mrs. E. H. H. wor-
ries about the number of sheets used
in a crib. I use only two a week.
On top of the mattress I place a
rubber sheet fastened down tightly,
then the crib sheet. On the spot
the baby lies I securely pin clean
diaper, which can easily be changed.
