ELECTRIC BLANKETS.
(Fronl M. E. T., WaShington.)
In reply to Mrs. c. p. w. regard
ing electric and electronic blankets
Both types are highly satisfactory
and will maintain the desired
warmth no matter what the room
temperature. The chief difference
in the two types is the mechan-
ism used to maintain the heat. The
blankets are light and by merely
setting a dial will provide any de-
gree of warmth without added
weight such as is experienced with
additional wool blankets.
Unlike the heating pad they do
not become warm to the touch. The
operating cost is so low that 1t Is
doubtful If it could be noticed on
the monthly bill.

Could you or some of your kind
readers help me. I have birthday

side fireplace and are planning to
have a vicente roast, ETC., and OF
course, We'll play records and dance.
But what sort of entertainment can
I plan? would like to know OF at
least five games that would be ap-
propriate for a party with girls and
boys around this age.

If Mrs. I. M NICK. will season
and scar her pot roast, put it on a
trivet in a tightly covered pan and
turn her flame very low so that the
heat in the pan will be about $50
degrees her roast should be nice and
juicy, mine are.
Ammonia detergent and a wire
brush will clean the stove. Let the
ammonia soak in for short time.
Then scrub with hot water and de-

ROCKS

(From Mrs. E. r. L., HdTrtSo7lburg.)
To Mrs. M. A. ", Washington. In
regard to the set of books called
Child Craft, published by the Quar-
rie Corp. of Chicago, I, too, pur-
chased these two years ago while
living in Arlington. My little girl is
now years old and is just be-
ginning to understand and enjoy
the book of fairy tales. OF course,
the Mother Goose Book is now
showing signs of wear. However, I
am afraid we will have to wait few
years to see the value of the COM
plete set. I do believe they will
prove more useful after the child
has started to school, especially the
fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Right
now most of them are on the shelf
with the rest of the books requiring
a daily busting.

pickle which I would like to con-
tribute. 7 hope some of you will like
them as well as I do and find them
as easy to put up.
Krispy Cucumber Pickle: 1 gallon
cucumbers sliced 4 inch thick, l
quart vinegar Cor 4 cups. quart
sugar Cor 4 cups, 2 tablespoons
salt, 2 tablespoons mixed pickle
spices. Let cucumbers lay in cold
water overnight (whole). Next
morning slice them and put in pan

their greenish color, not too long.
Lower gas, put them in sterilized
Jars, cover with hot vinegar. Seal.

RARE HERBS.
From Mrs. c.. B. s., WGshington.)
I am writing in regard to Mr.
j. L. z. Of Takoma Park, whose
problem is to locate plants or seeds
which he claims are not locally
available and which he lists in a
letter published on July 81 in The
Evening Star.
am happy to be able to help Mr..
z. partially solve his problem by
the advice that the following herbs
on his list are currently obtainable
at the Cottage Herb Garden OF the
Washington Cathedral.
Plants: Sweet Cicely, Costmary,
Rue, Gray Santolina, Pennyroyal,
Germander (tall and dwarf, Dit
tany of Crete, Applemint and
Spearmint.
Seeds: Elecampane, Rue.
In addition, during the spring
season, Mr.. z. will find ChaHaomile
seeds and plants Of Bergamot and
Lemon Verbena available at the
Cottage Herb Garden.
I sincerely trust that this infor-
nation will be helpful.

while living on Southwestern Army
posts. To make real enchilladas
you have to take the long, dried
hot purple peppers and cook them
gently. Then you open them and
remove that clay-colored, soft stuff
that clings to inside of pepper, also
seeds. This is the basis of the

SOFTENING SUGAR;
GAS BURNERS.

From Mrs. J. F. X, Buckeystro1n.)
To keep sugar from becoming
hard to a certain degree. buy in the
S or 10 pound cartons and place In
a tin boiler or lard can keeping lid
on tight. When you remove from
receptacle hit the container on the
table gently and will loosen up at
once. This method I use and find
very successful.
For cleaning grease from gas
stove, you had better get the gas
company to send a man out to clean
it rather than ruin your burners.
You can scrape with knife or use
baking soda dissolved and wet good.
Be careful of burners, not to clog

EMPLOYERS are using many
artful lodges to avoid hiring Ne

capacities. Even the Negroes who
are operating the various indus
trial machines Skilled labor in
plants throughout the city are be-
ginning to note efforts to relegate
them to the category of back

work to defeat the spirit and

So this is how it's done:
THE APPLICANT calls to in
quire about job advertised and
is asked the location of his resi-
dence. With the various racial
groups living predominately in
well-known sections of the city,
it is easy to decide the nationality
of the applicant. This leaves open
several courses of action for the
personnel department.:

are filled.
z. Advise applicant that only

tote that bale" departments.
3. Point out the great distance
and declare that its been our
experience that workers find il
extremely difficult to get to work
on time. especially during the
winter months"
Some employers, however, state
bluntly in their advertisements
that only persons living in a des-
ignated area close to their plants
will be considered. The Interior
motive back of this method is ex-
posed, when it is pointed out that
shops located in Negro communities
(and many never hire Negroes in
skilled jobs do not make any
such declarations for obvious rea-
sons.
THE WAYS and means of turn
ing aside Negro job applicants who
appear in person are legion. One
method is the flattery routine. The
personnel director says something
like this:
"Why, Jim, man of your OBJ
vious above-average intelligence
would not be happy here. Most
of the employees, while unquestion-
ably good, honest workers, Lack
our refinements. And you know,
Jim, an unhappy workers is not
good worker, is he? Looking at il
from your angle as well as ours,
Jim, don't think it would be wise
to offer you position here.

ANOTHER method is to station |
