WASHING LAMPSHADES;
QUERIES?

from Mrs. C. L. w., Washington
Re-cleaning silk lamp shades:
washed my shades and they turned
out fine. First remove all contrast
ting trimming and wash separately
Submerge the shade in enough
warm soapy water to completely
cover it to prevent water marks.
The bath tub is a good place If
the shades are not too large
Swish the shade about In the suds
and use q soft brush on stubborn
spots. Rinse well and dry with an
electric fan to prevent rusting OF
the metal frame. Sew your trim
ming on, replace shade and stand
back and admire your new shade.
This can be done In 2-3 hours.

DISTRUST IN INDIA

. The effort to find d solu-
ton to the Indian problem
continues to founder on the
hostility between the Mos
lens and the Hindus.
Recently, a Moslem Off
cial in this country declared
that the Moslems in India,
numbering 100,000.000, will
not accept or tolerate Hindu
rule and reiterated the de-
mandS of the Moslem
League that India be divid-
ed into Pakistan and Hindu
stan which would permit the
people who constitute a ma
jority in the respective re-
gions to have their own gov
eminent.
The Hindus, who greatly
outnumber the other religi-
Gus denominations in India.
insist upon a united country,
TO include British India as
well as the princely
states. Under such an ar
rangement. they would out
number the Moslems by
nearly three-to-one and
would be easily able to con-
troll the policies of the gov
eminent.
One of the most telling
arguments used by the Mos
lens relates to the 5000
600 Hindu outcast untouch-
ables. who live little better
than beasts of burden. The
Moslems suggest that if the
Hindus are willing to treat
the untouchables in such a
way. they will not hesitate
ito Cypress and mistreat the
Moslems if they are permit
ted to have full control OF
the proposed government.

NOT UNDER 1T

Many Key Westers who
were hopeful that oil would
be struck in the Florida
Keys might have been dis
apointed BY the story, pub
lished in The Citizen, that
Gulf Oil Corporation had
discontinued drilling on Sug-
ar LOAF
The ultimate wealth of
sthe Florida Keys does not
lie in the discovery of oil.
Were a gusher brought in,
the result would be a land
boom, during which prices
of acreage on the keys
would skyrocket. Some per-
sons would be benefited but
the general run would be
ruined financially, as has al
ways been the case IN any
kind of boom.
Besides, oil derricks erect
ed here, there and every
where on the keys would re-
tard their 5 Il b 5 t a II I ! q

which nature has designed
them; first, as resorts fol

the residence Of tens OF
thousands of people.
AS The Citizen has re-
marked many a time, the
Florida Keys are the South
Sea Islands of the United
States. They are growing
now in population and de
velopment, though very
slowly, but the time viii
come when their growth viii

So far as Nature is con
cerned, they provide every.
thing that d tourist ma!
wish. and what things Ma
ture does not provide, man
can bring into being, as ht
has done in all parts of The
world. But. despite the di
versity of entertainment
that man may provide
basically the Florida Key!
will attract larger and larg
er numbers Of tourists be

offer.
Hence. don't be uneasy i

! timately, in what is above
the ground, not under it.
