was interesting to note the change
Of crops, the different produce be-
ing grown, and see the source OF
supply for our Eastern markets.
I'll tell you more about the trip
next week, but now to get back to
Washington and the local scene.
There seems to be plenty Of fresh
produce on the market. One dealer
told me everything had dropped a
little in price and the quality was
better than it had been for some
time. You'll find blackberries, blue
berries, cantaloupe, watermelon,
strawberries, all of excellent quality.
The meat situation is not SO good.
Prices are up and the market Is un-
certain. Looks very much as though
beef would be a little scarce for the
next three weeks; lamb prices, too,
are on the upgrade You will find
plentiful supplies of pork and veal,
hams and bacon and the luncheon
cuts. The best buy for the week
end will be frying chickens; the
price will be cheaper in comparison
to the other meats.

for home freezing. They remind

keep their flavor and texture better
when packed with sugar.
Planning is q quick and easy, top-of-
stove way to cock those tender young
green's that may be found along
roadside hedges or streams these
days. They are yours for the pick
ing. Very often blend Of different
green's cooked together makes an
especially delicious dish: for exam
pie, small amounts of dock. dande-

into cold water loosens the jacket on

People are talking about the double
duty they are getting out Of their
glass cooking ware. A glass perco-
lator, for instance, can be used to
make coffee, cook whole ears of
corn, pour milk for the teen-age
crowd, lemonade, iced coffee, and
cook asparagus. Flavors don't stick
to glassware, SO onions can be cooked
in it one day and coffee the next.
Your glass teakettle is just the
right size to serve tea or coffee at a
large party. 1t will double for a
soup kettle, too. Choose baby
toys carefully. Toys should be
washable, too large to swallow, pre-
ferably made in one piece. Avoid
sharp points. Safe coloring is a
must" +. Lemons that have a
fine -textured skin and are heavy for
their size are generally of better
quality than those that are coarse
skinned and light in weight.

HOOKED RUGS.
MORE RICH?

(Fron, Mrs. L. E. T., Washington.)
There have been several requests
lately about hand-hooked rugs
which have not seen answered, SO
I will try to give some information
herewith.
To prepare hose for hooking the
best method Is to cut vertically in
stead of spirally. (The latter method
makes the material too fuzzy and
raveny-also too stretchy).
Cotton, silk or rayon, and even
nylon hose may be used but 1t is
best to use cotton separately.
Silks, rayon and nylon hose may
be used together, but the very
sheer ones are not so good. Cut
off cotton tops and feet OF silk,
rayon and nylon. Self-material
tops may be left on and used II
not too much heavier than the leg
part. If the top is not cut off. cut
open the hem on the inside. Then,
for all types, cut out the seam all
the way down and cut off all heavy
parts of the feet. tFor seamless
hose, split down the back where the
seam would be-. Now you have a
fiat piece of material Smooth this
out on a cloth covered table, or your
lap and starting at the top edge, roll
up like jelly roll. Then cut roll of
in inch tmore or less according to
weight of hose) slices and you have
about Go even strips of material.
They will taper somewhat, but very
small straggly ends can be cut off
and discarded. On cotton hose es-
pecially when the strips are
stretched, the cut edges roll in and
leave a very nice, round strip for
hooking. The width to cut pieces
will vary with the hose and the in
dividual preference for coarse or fine
hooking. Dyeing should be done be-
fore the seam is cut out, but the un-
wanted parts, feet and or tops, may
be removed first If desired to re-
duce the quantity of material in the
dye bath.
AS for what other scrap materials
may be used I have successfully
used cotton dress materials and light

Dot the top with butter and bake

In some of our larger cities there
are a number of excellent restau-
rants that serve dishes from the

Turkish and so on. If you never

otic flavor. you would do well to

Chicago was little breath-taking

with thunderstorms all the way.
From there on it was very smooth
and the sun coming up over the
snow-capped mountains in Utah
was a beautiful sight.
The purpose of the conference
was to acquaint State and civic
leaders of 36 national women's or
eanizations with the Army's peace
time program, to discuss some OF
the problems and TO secure their
cooperation in taking the informa-
ton back to their local units. The

here in the I'd Army area.
The subjects covered were Mill

ices" "Chaplains' Services to the
Army" Troop Information and Ed

the two articles on the Food Service
School at Fort Meade 1t will give
you a general idea Of my contriou-

We ate at Army messes on the days
the meetings were held. In each
case we were taken on tour OF the
post and had an opportunity OF in
specting the Army kitchens. AT the
Presidio in San Francisco we ate at
the Food Service School. The food
was prepared by the CTS taking the
food courses, and excellent 1t was,
too. They did fine job In making
it look attractive and appetizfng as
well as taste good. In fact, I was
more than little embarrassed that
noon. Every thing looked so good l
found my tray loaded with about
twice as much food as I could eat.
The Army, you know, takes a very
dim view of any food waste, and,
since they weigh all plate waste
after each meal, I wasn't feeling too
happy about the whole thing. told
the major in charge of the school I
hoped they would make an excep-
ton on that day!
At Fort Douglas Inf Salt Lake City,
we ate In the regular CT mess. The
women all exclaimed over the ex-
cellent quality of the food. The only
complaints I heard were that they
were eating far too much.

fields below us and the thought
went through my mind, MY good

was told they were fields OF green
peas to supply the nearby Gamer

acres of vineyards; asparagus was
at It's peak, strawberries were enor-

store on E street NV. has decorative
pieces for rent as centerpieces. All
types are available. Huge silver
slippers, large gold chests, wedding
bells, parasols, storks and baby dolls
that act as centerpieces for showers
You can get the details and rental
prices by calling National 1886
I gave my girl friend baby show
er and decorated as follows: I had a
huge celluloid stork as a center
piece. Then by buying IL small
pink and blue plastic baby carriages
at the dime store I had my place
cards. They're cute, effective and
inexpensive. I got two packs of crepe
paper, one pink, one blue. Cut paper
in strips 3 or inches wide. Lay
across table on luncheon cloth as If
you're weaving. Join together at
crossings with straight pins.
For a game this is one I enjoyed
at both types of showers. As the
gifts are unwrapped, tie all ribbon
and strings from gifts together and
wind these to form a huge ball. After
gifts have been opened and just be-
fore the food is served have all the
guests stand in a circle. Hand the
ball to the expectant bride Cor
mother as the case may be-, then
starting to her left have her pass
the ball around and around the
circle until it's all gone. The one re-
ceiving the end of the ball is to be
the next bride or mother.

Here is the verdict. The 8A-

races, but is too slow and does not
do a neat job on the greater part
of the lawn. We are going to buy
a conventional lawn mower and use
