Talk
By Dorothy Bihlman

There's a new bright star in the
housewives life. It's the new tar
nish preventive which keeps your
silver cleaning without polishing.
Sounds too good to be true, but they
claim it really works. An open jar
Iof odorless crystals placed in your
silver drawer or cabinet will keep
your fiat ware or hollow ware shin
ing bright. This product will re-
tain its potency for about four
months and one jar will take care
of 20 cubic feet Of area in a, drawer
or cabinet. Mark this up as a well
come addition to your labor saving
devices, for it will relieve you of
that bane-the frequent polishing
Of silver.
Remember of a few months back
we mentioned a new product for
dishwashing? At that time we
found out quite few readers were
unable to secure the product due to
a limited amount in stock. That
was caused by delays in shipment
due to unavoidable raw material
shortages. However, now this prod
uct is again available, is ample
quantities. Label instructions say
to pour one bottle capfull into dish
pan, that's just about thimbleful,
then add water full force for instant
rich suds. Dishes rinse faster and
dry quickly without wiping, glasses
sparkle and the product is particu-
larly good for removing grease from
dishes, platters, pots and pans. The
four ounce bottle contains enough
for approximately so dishwashings.
The manufacturer claims tests
proved that the Noduct, wholly free
of alkaline, is nonirritating to the
skin.
There is q new starching powder
on the market. This scientifically
prepared powdered laundry starch,
they say, will really speed wash day.
It dissolves faster and starches per-
fectly in hard or soft water and 1t
contains added ingredients to i'm
prove its penetrating qualities and
make ironing easier Those home
makers who have used this product
seem to be pleased with the smooth,
lustrous finish that makes old fab
RIGS feel and look like new. No boil
ing or cooking Is necessary, simply
dissolve the starch, stir the mix
ture and it's ready for use.
Have you heard any comments on
the furniture polish that comes in a
tall, square, 12-ounce bottle with a
distinctive ball-shaped wooden stop
per? Several of our friends have
tried the polish and report salts
faction with it. They were quite sur
prised that the rich luster lasted
longer than with other polishes they
had used. 1t takes such small
amount of this white liquid chemical
to do a polishing job thoroughly
that the manufacturer emphasizes
on the label using a little at a
time" Just put few drops of it
on soft cloth and wiring it through,
so there's no surface wetness, then
apply it to your furniture and finish
off by polishing with a soft dry
cloth. There is no oily or sticky
residue, and 1t does not leave a
smoky" film on the furniture.
The most novel gadget seen re-
Gently was drink thermometer" :"
A long glass rod inclosing thermo-
meter chart which at a certain place
has printed the word ."go." Place
this object in your glass, add ice
and when the thermometer reaches
go" serve the drink. Silly, but
rather popular with those who like
novelty items.

MODELLING CLAY.

From Mrs. P. P. j., Arlington.)
To the lady who asked for a

Stewart Bros. of New York. 1t

terracote or green. used pipe
cleaners for an armature of a small
torso, covered at night by slightly

BUTTER CREAMS.
CHOCOLATE ICING.
From Mrs. A. L. L., Charles ToWn
w. Vd)

From Mrs. A. L. L., Charles ToDn,
w. Va
For Mrs. v. H. D., Washington,
who wished a recipe for chocolate
covered butter creams, submit the
following: When I was in college,
25 years ago, this is the way we
made them. Martha Washington
Creams" we called them. I can't
give the exact proportions because
they depended upon circumstances,
as you will understand. For several
days one or two of us would snitch
butter from the dining room. Then
we would work into the butter as
much confectioners' sugar as the
butter would hold. Mold this into
small balls and dip into melted bit
ter chocolate. (We melted ours on
the radiator. but suppose you had
better do it on a stove) Roll around
until well coated with the chocolate.
We put them to dry in sheets of
loose-leaf note paper on the win
dow sill, but there weren't many
left by that time. 1t was the best
candy I ever ate. We couldn't afford
to buy them in Richmond or Wash
ington.
For the lady who wanted a good
chocolate icing, this is foolproof ::
Three ee-fourth cup granulated sugar,
2 squares bitter chocolate, 3 table
spoons milk, pinch of salt Gm-
portant), l tablespoon butter or
more. Mix sugar, shaved chocolate,
milk and salt together Cook slowly,
stirring frequently till it leaves
sides of pan. Remove from heat,
add butter and beat till stiff enough
to spread. 1t takes only few min
utes. Makes fine fudge, too.

For Mrs. v. H. D., Washington

lRECEIv vER5HIp FOR |WRANGELL SAWMlLL
 GRAINED BY COURT

i The petition for a writ of in
 junction and the appointment of a receiver was granted in U. S. District Court by Judge George Folta this morning in the case against the Alaska Asiatic Lumber Mills at Wrangell by the Bank of Wrangell and eight other creditors, who were represented by the law firm of Faulkner and Banfield The receiver will be appointed to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Three hearings have been held on the case and the defendants were willing that a receiver be ap- pointed. The plaintiffs recom- mended that E. A. Rasmuson, principal stockholder of the Bank of Wrangell, be appointed as re- ceiver because of his heavy share of the obligations, his familiarity with the mills operations and his past experience in like circum- stances. The defendants objected to RasmuSons appointment on the grounds that he is identified with the Bank of Wrangell, which is the largest single creditor. They recommended for the position of receiver the following men: Err nest Campbell, Joyce Hay or L. B. Chisholm. The court will name the receiver tomorrow morning un- less further suggestions are sub mitted by the attorneys handling the case.
 The petition stated that the de- fendant is hopelessly insolvent and unable to raise sufficient funds to pay it's debts or to resume opera tions. It further stated that the property of the defendant cannot be sold in it's present state to claims, but if the project were completed the property would have a value upward of S50O000. The petition requested that the receiver be per mitted to operate the plant, if complied, because of the uncom- pleted contract with the U. 5 Government and belief that other contracts can be secured.
 The Government has offered to complete mobilization of the plant if an arrangement can be made to give them a prior lien. This will cost approximately Sl0l ,0Oo. The Government has already in- vested S30O,0O0 by making install ations and by the purchase of machinery The Wrangell Sawmil is the only place in the Territory where dry kiln lumber can be ob- tained by the U. s. Engineers for their construction projects.
 Testimony was given by three witnesses as to the necessity of receivership and the condition of the company Appearing were Ken meth McCaskey of the legal di- vision of the Army Engineers at Anchorage, George c. Butler, head of Labor Relations for Birchs John- son, and Lytle, and E. A. Rasmus- on of the Bank Of Wrangell
