Are there any chemists or such

something of a discussion of soap
making? What, for instance, are
the factors which make soap strong
or mild? I should like to be able
to make soap mild enough to
use on me and my delicate fabrics.
Also I have about 1& quarts of
slightly rancid olive oil on hand

delicate soap, but how should I
go about it? T know we are advised
to turn our fats in and buy soap,

from Mrs. H. B. De G.,
Slper SUino,

Here are instructions for baked
custard in response to a recent in
quiry, which I hope will clear up
the readers difficulties. Measure
one-fourth cup sugar or honey and
e-eighth teaspoon salt into quart
measure or bowl, and break in three
eggs on top. Measure sugar accu-
rately, as too much will give you a
watery custard. Then beat the eggs
only slightly. Too much beating
breaks up the egg albumen, reduc-
ing it's coagulating or thickening
power, and makes your custard less
firm. Just a few whirls will mix
yolks and whites and blend them
with the sugar just right. Next scald
two cups milk, preferably in a dou-
BILE boiler so that it won't boil over
or scorch and ruin the delicate
flavor. Pour the scalded milk grad
ually into the egg mixture, never
vice versa or the eggs will cook in

Is not necessary to scald the milk
for baked custard, 1t reduces the
baking time considerably. Pour the
hot custard mixture into buttered
cups or casserole and set in a shall
low pan of hot water. One-half to
one inch water is plenty. Bake in
moderately slow oven, 325 degrees,
for 80 to 40 minutes. If you didn't
scald your milk, but added 1t cold,
your custard will take so to so min
utes. When custard seems about
done, test by inserting a knife about
an inch from the center of custard.
If knife comes out clean, try again
in the center. Here it should have
little semiliquid custard clinging
to it when you withdraw it. Re
move from oven and from the hot
water at once; the heat retained in
the cups will finish the cooking. If
you keep on baking till the center
is perfectly done, 1t will overbake
from that retained heat and become
curdled and watery. A large Gus

BAKED CUSTARD.

From N.

VrfOHt Ave- L., w uSfttNyLOTtsJ
For Mrs. D. G. M, Alexandria.
For a perfect cup custard from the
Boston Cooking School Cook Book,
which we think is "tops." Three
cups scalded milk (milk is scalded
when little bubbles form around the
edge, 3 eggs, II cup sugar, u
teaspoon salt. Beat eggs slightly,
add sugar and salt, and slowly pour
on the scalded milk, strain into
custard cups, which have been but
tered, set in a pan Of hot water;
line your pan with several thick
nesses of paper, sprinkle the custard
with a few grains of nutmeg and
bake in a moderate oven $50 de-
grees for about 80 minutes. The
custard Is done when a knife Is in
serted and it comes out clear and
should be removed from the oven.
You must be careful not to let the
water boil, as this spoils the custard.
We like raisins added to the custard.
Il do not always strain it,
Should variations be desired
would gladly send, as this Is plain
baked custard.

structed that ones finger does not

CLEANING BEDSPRTNGS.
From Mrs. H. L. c., CheDy ChnSeJ
Here's a grand method stumbled
on for cleaning bedsprings. 1t takes
vacuum cleaner with a "oloWer
end. Spread wet newspapers on
the floor under the springs and blow
the dust off the springs onto the
wet paper. 1t really gets them
clean as a whistle and you'd be
surprised how the wet paper keeps
the dust down. It's so quick, too,
since you don't have to work so
hard and get down in each coil.
Something I've never been able 10
successfully do, anyhow)
I am a new reader Of the RCH
and wanted to show my appreciation
for its many suggestions by passing
along this timely discovery. Spring
cleaning Is just around the corner
and I do hope it will help some Of
you out of what think is real
problem.
TO REPAIR KNITTING BAG.
From Miss f. G., RiDerddle.
wish to thank Mrs. G. b, Wash
ington, for the recipe Quick Butter
milk rolls. They are certainly de-
licious and from. now on I am
only using this recipe.
Here's a handy hint I hope will
help some one to repair knitting
bag when material leaves frame.
T used a transparent water cement
squeezed generously along inside OF
frame holding frame upside down.
Then eased loosened bag into frame
with nut pick, till all was inside
frame deep. Also loosened handle,
close bag and place fiat down to
dry where it need not be moved
for over night. I just mended mine
and it works fine.

material that is used for bathroom
curtains, baby bibs. mattress covers,
etc. My pattern is white back

propriate for little boys room.
I made the curtains sill length,
with the material split in half for
each side panel and straight
valance about 10 inches deep be-
tween the side panels. The cur
tains have small heading and ars

flower beauties at his feet. Brilliant
ly colored gladiolus and brightly
tinted carnations are arranged in a
flower holder in the base of the
cage. The flower stems should be
of varied length for the best effect.
No. 3-The arrangement which Is
the most fun of all to do requires no
live love birds or. any ceramic figures.
You will use a beautiful. real flower
the bird of paradise-which looks,
as its name implies, like a colorful
tropical bird. Cut the stem of your
bird quite short and stick it in a
needle holder in the bottom of a
simple wicker cage. To carry out
the tropical effect use single hibiscus
or gladiolus blooms around the base
|of the container. Add few fresh
lines or cumquats and figs and you
will have an arrangement of excep-
tional appeal. Sprays Of feathery
acacia can be used as sketched to
extend the size Of the arrangement.

State Anti-Lubor Lows Set
Record In Union-Buitinq

Georgia the law prohibits the use
of force, intimidation, violence, or
threats to interfere with the right
to work or to refrain from work
ing, to interfere with peaceably
conducting a business, or to require
membership or non-membership in
a labor organization. The North
Dakota law requires an election to
determine whether a strike shall
take place, and declares that if a
majority of the employees vote
against a strike, picketing is un-
lawful. In South Dakota picketing
is prohibited if there is no labor
dispute between the employer and
his employees or their representa-
tives.
Secondary boycotts are prohibit
ed under laws passed in Delaware,
Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, and Utah. The North Dakota
law also declares boycotting and
sympathy strikes to be against
public policy. Secondary boycotts
usually involve refusal to handle
or work on non-union materials by
persons not directly concerned in
the labor dispute.
Four states-Indiana, New Jer-
sey, Texas, and Virginia--enacted
legislation regulating disputes in
public utilities. The Texas law re-
lates only to picketing and sabo-
tage. Under this act it is unlaw-
full for any person to picket the
premises of a public utility or to
intimidate any employe with the
intent to disrupt the service or pre-
vent the maintenance of the utility.
The law also provides that an act
of sabotage which damages or af-
fects the operation of any public
utility shall be felony.
A New York law prohibits strike
by public employees. Under Texas
law such strikes are prohibited and
in addition it is declared to be
against public policy for any state
official or any group of officials
to enter into collective bargaining
agreement with any labor organ
ization. In Minnesota strikes or
lock-outs by charitable hospitals
and their employees are forbidden.

Washington (LPA)-The march
of anti-labor laws thru state legis-
latures this year is unprecedented,
it was shown this week in a survey
prepared for the Labor Depart
ment's monthly Labor Information
Bulletin.
Eleven states already this year
have passed laws banning the clos
ed shop, and similar legislation was
pending in nine other states. The
Labor Information Bulletin report
will show that the most frequent
state anti-labor laws have dealt
with secondary boycotts and pub
lie utilities strikes. Following are
excerpts from the LBS survey:
A Delaware law provides no
strike shall be lawful unless author
lied by a majority vote of the en-
ployes in the bargaining unit in
volved. Similarly, an amendment to
the Utah Labor Relations Act in
effect requires a majority vote be-
fore a strike may take place by
making it an unfair labor practice
for any person to cooperate in en-
gaging in, promoting, or inducing
picketing, boycotts, or any other
strike activity unless a majority
of the employees has voted in fav-
or of a strike.
A Texas law provides that la
Dor organization whose members
strike or engage in picketing shall
be liable for damages in the event
such strike is held to be a breach
of contract.
Legislation restricting or regu-
lating picketing was enacted in
Delaware, Georgia, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Texas and Utah.
Mass picketing is specifically pro-
hibited in five of these-Delaware,
Georgia, South Dakota, Texas and
Utah. The Delaware law in addi-
tion makes it an unfair labor prac-
tice for an employe to picket the
domicile of another employe. In
