The Family Tree
By Betty Miles

| Let us assume Miss Mary Perry is
interested in genealogy and uses the
library as source of information.
She'll probably find that she'll ben
eft by consulting researcher there.
In businesslike edition, American
and English Genealogies, she'll find
an imposing list of books on Perry's,
and it's up to her to delve into the
books until she discovers a name or
a fact that tells her she's following
her own particular branch of the
family.
When information is found in one
book, 1t leads to another. The
genealogy room Is also rich in data
on States, counties, cities and towns
throughout the country. A good
many interesting personal stories
and equally interesting historical
ones are absorbed in the course of
charting a family tree. Locating
ones coat Of arms is another facet
of family tracing.
For the person with the time and
tenacity, actually solving the riddle
| OF ancestry for oneself can be most
satisfying. For the busy person, the
professional genealogist takes over
and does the job. The local chapter
Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution furnishes names of
genealogists in Washington and
vicinity, together with the regions
in which they specialize. This list
may be secured at the OAR Library
and also at the Library of Congress.
It's also possible to use the OAR
Library for genealogical study.
Searching for Your Ancestors
the Why and How of Genealogy," by
Gilbert Harry Doane, furnishes an
introduction to the work. It may be
found in the Library of Congress.

Sometime ago we had an inter-
view with a noted hair stylist. On
that occasion he made statement
that mjlliners and hair stylists were
beginning to work together for bet
ter hated and better coiffed women.
Seems we were on the right
track. For only last week the mil
liners and the American Hair Design
Institute presented joint lunch
con snow in New York. Shown were
six hair styles with hats by Sally
Victor, Laddie Northridge, John
F'rederics, Lilly Dache, Hattie Car
negie, Walter Florell, Mary Good
fellow, and other well-known mill
liners. Taken into consideration
were numerous hair styles done with
long hair, upswept hair, feather
bobs, and the in-between length of
hair.
But if you want to do justice to
your new co-ordinated bonnet and
spring hair style you should do a
few things beforehand. One, of
course, is brushing it everyday. For
those girls who have trouble with
loose ends" there's preparation on
the market that will help your wisps
of hair to stay in place It's a nice
smelling hair lacquer. You use very
little OF it, dabbing it lightly on the
curl that unfurls. Excellent for up
swept nair, too.
And here's some more hair news.
A decidedly good thing for the
career girl who wants to have her
hair done during her lunch hour.
It's new technique BY the time
your last curl has been set your
hair is almost ready to be combed
out. The whole thing adds up to
about an hour. Shampoo, set and
combing. It's called the instant
drying spool method and trained
operators here in town are now
ready to have you try it. No hair
pins, hairnets, ear tissues, or solu-
tions are used. Sheer comfort while
you have your hair done! And
special summer note to take, re-
member, as you don't have to sit
underneath a hot drier for this. It's
all done with moderately warm air.
Result? Nice soft waves, comfort,
and at a great saving of time!

Have you been introduced to the
new line Of embroidered bedspreads?
A brand-new fabric is combined
with a striking array of patterns
by leading designers. We were told
1t takes hours and hours for many
OF the patterns to be embroidered
Tiny electric needles traced around
the design by hand do the trick.
The cloth is a rich textured, heavy
cotton, with an everlasting crinkle
woven right in. The styles include
rows and rows of huge SNOWFALL
tufts, some in straight lines, others
looped, and still others sewn in
diagonals; huge white cabbage roses,
clusters of bright cherries and
panels of gayly colored flowers.
Some of the bedspreads are finished
around the sides with long fringes
that gracefully sweeps the floor.
The manufacturer is proud of the
size of these bedspreads, in fact,
calls them super size. The double
BED measures SO inches by 112 inches
and twin bed size SO inches by
A@H AiSAiCo. VIC Wclc GOlQ UI1ey
have been pre-shrunk and vat dyed.
Really worth looking into
An item the housewife hasn't seen
around in years is a chatting dish.
No, this one isn't electric, instead.
it's the good old alcohol burner
type. Finished in two metals, brass
and copper, with a long wood
handle, this dish is very attractive.
A bath aid that is highly concen-
trated and combines only the finest
of materials. Makes bath time a
delight, for the tub is filled with
sparkling foam which, besides being
luxurious performs a bit of magic
and eliminates that ring. Only a
small amount Is required in each
bath and the attractive little box
contains enough of the product for
so or more baths. 1t is used like
most bubble or foam products. Drop
one tablespoon of the substance into
the empty tub, then turn water on
full force and watch the foam rise

The dictionary states that gene
alogist is one who studies the
descent Of persons or families. 1t
does not add that a genealogist
must possess the sleuthing ability
Of Perry Mason and be abundantly
endowed with tenacity.
A variety of sources yield in
formation to the pedigree hunter.
Relatives often provide needed data
and family papers and records may
contain pertinent facts. It's also
possible to consult the town records,
and cemetery markers carry vital
names and dates. Church records
also supply information. OF course,
books and libraries are a source of
accumulated data on the Jones or
Murphy clan.
Miss Marion Hughes, researcher
at the local history and genealogy
room of the Library of Congress, has
helped genealogists from near and
far. One gentleman, she explained,
has made it his hobby and after 10
years of research has traced his
family back to the 18th century. An
eye specialist who finds genealogy
has recreational value is tracing his
fathers ancestors. He pointed out
that he's learned to check his in
formation for accuracy and possible
loopholes. Obituaries are not neces-
sarily fountain heads of truth, and
elderly relatives may not be as re-
liable as they once were in provid-
ing family facts and figures.
Miss Hughes is particularly touched
by the people who come to the
library hoping to discover their
identity. Unless the person already
has few clues to give the research
er ,genealogy will not be much help
on this score.

A safety device for washing win
dows especially If they are on an
upper floor! We refer to the new
window washer with an adjustable
handle that may be bent to any
angle. In this respect one can stand
on the inside and clean the outside
without resorting to the old method
Of sitting on the window ledge and
reaching for the upper sash. The
base comes complete with felt side
for washing and rubber squeegee
for wiping.
A floor waxer and applicator Is a
handy contraption for your home.
The aluminium tube handle also
doubles as container for the liquid
wax and holds one-half pint or
enough to cover a hundred and
eighty square feet per filling, so we
understand. 1t also comes equipped
with applicator head and sheepskin
pad to help give even distribution
and polish at the same time. It
should certainly save time and en-
ergy.
Here's a modern table appliance
combining utility and beauty! A
new carving aid that will really help
the mead OF the house perform an
expert job. The cutting is done
against wood surface. which is most
desirable, and at an angle conven-
lent to the carver. The metal clamp
ing arm may be adjusted to three
different positions so as to leave
exposed any part of the meat being
carved. The unit is easily dismantled
for quick cleaning and is assembled
very quickly. The light wood tray is
equipped with bright chromium
handles and the clamping arm,
which makes 1t neat enough to
grace your table alone, or if you
prefer, on your service platter. The
article is ideal for buffet parties as
your guests may carve their own
servings with practically no trouble.

ANSWERS AND QUERY?
(Fron1 L. C.. w., WASHINGTON.

(From L. C. w., Wdshington.)
Perhaps I might help to answer
several inquiries.
Regarding shields for mans coat.
There Is no earthly excuse for any
person, man or woman needing
shields unless they suffer from some
skin disorder, for there are several
preparations, inexpensive which will
render the under-arm perfectly dry
no matter what the weather, tenn
perature, etc. This drying under
the arm does not affect the sweat
glands in any other part of the
body.
For the lady asking what can be
done to wool after it has been
washed in too hot water The answer
is NOTHING. Hot water destroys
the natural oils in wool. 1t is the
presence of this oil which keeps the
wool soft and pliable. Using a bit of
suds in the last rinse water will
help hold the natural oil in the gar
ment. After this oil is destroyed by
heat, it cannot be restored.
Real pound cake. This is my
mothers recipe and the most de-
licious cake ever tasted. One pound
regular flour, sifted times, pound
sugar (white granulated) sifted 2
times, 9 large eggs separated. Of
eggs are medium size, use 10, or If
eggs are small use 12) One pound
butter Of you can get country but
ter, even though a bit strong, use
1a-pound butter, and 1a-pound of
either of the popular vegetable
shortcomings. While butter is so ex-
pensive she often uses half store
butter and half vegetable shortening
The country butter gives it real
f1avor) Juice of large lemon. juice
and rind of large orange, tea
spoon vanilla Cream thoroughly
and until very light the shortening
and sugar, add egg yolks one at a
time and mix thoroughly. Add the
f1avoring Beat egg whites separ-
ately until light and fold in whites
and -four alternately into the yel-
low mixture, quickly. Be sure the
ingredients are we'll blended but do
not over beat or your cake will be
dry and tasteless. If using an elec-
trio beater, use medium speed when
mixing the first 3 ingredients and
low speed for the egg whites and
flour. We always turn off the beater
just before the last of the flour dis
appears and finish mixing by hand.
Line tube pan. after greasing with
butter. with waxed paper and pour
In batter.
There Is quite a trick in baking
the cake and you will have to regu-
late the heat according to your
own oven. Have the oven preheated
to $50 degrees, and leave at this tenn
perature for 40 minutes, increase
temperature to 300 degrees and bake
80 to 80 minutes longer You will have
to watch 1t after you increase the
heat, if 1t seems to be baking too
fast. set it back a bit. When the cake
is done it will pull away from the
sides of the pan and cracks will
appear on the surface. Let stand
IN pan for about 80 minutes before
removing. We always turn the pan
upside down and let the cake stand

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
(From Mrs. M. E. B., HydttsDille.)
AS I very much enjoy the RICH
thought I would drop a couple OF
household hints. Here they are:
As most of wear on sheets comes
at top of the sheet, have reversed
the bottom sheet. AS it is tucked in
all around no one would ever know
the difference. and it does help to
conserve the wear of sheets.
Another item is the transparent
table covers. They save lot of laun-
dry, can be placed right over the
regular cloth and after the meal
wiped off with damp cloth. Once a
week they can be doused up and
down in warm soapsuds, rinsed out
and hung on the line. Where there
are children they are life savers.
Here is a very good refrigerator
roll recipe: One cup hot water.
teaspoon salt, 11s tablespoons short
ening, Il cup sugar, 2 tablespoons
lukewarm- water, egg, 31a to cups
flour, l cake compressed yeast dis
solved in lukewarm water. Combine
salt. shortening and sugar in hot
water. Cool to lukewarm, add egg
and yeast. Half the flour, then
enough to make dough easily han
died. Grease top of dough, cover with
waxed paper and towel held in
place with rubber bands. Store in
refrigerator. 1t keeps about week
Cut off dough as needed, letting
stand in warm room about one hour
before using Then shape into rolls
arrange in pan, cover and let rise
until double in bulk Bake in hot
oven of 425 degrees IL to Is minutes
Remove, brush with melted butter
This makes about Is medium sized
rolls.
