the cabbage. Cole slaw: Shred cab
bage fine. Pour boiling water on
to soften for Is minutes, then drain
off the water. Mayonnaise: To thin
use canned milk. Crate onion and
green pepper or red pepper and
carrot and celery, salt and pepper
to taste, with a little vinegar and
parsley.
This recipe has been in my family
for over SO years. Mrs. M. S. T.'s
husband will love it. AS for the
coffee cake, have German coffee
cake recipe, but we never put coffee
in it, we put white mashed potatoes
in it. Also this recipe comes from
Germany, as that's where my
parents were born. And they are
noted for excellent baking and cook
ing. If Mrs. NJ S. T. would like
this recipe I will gladly send it.
From Mrs. w. M. S., Washington.)
I would like to join Mrs. M. S. T.
OF Mclean in a request for some
favorite cole slaw recipes. I know

BISCUITS; MUFFINS.
(From Mrs. M. N. w, WaShington.)
Not long ago some one requested
a recipe for biscuits, so am in
closing one which my mother uses;
naturally I think it the best ever.
One cup flour, a teaspoon salt,
rounded tablespoon shortening, q
heaping teaspoons baking powder.
Add enough sweet milk to make
soft dough. Sift salt and baking
powder into flour, add shortening
and rub with hands until well mixed,

CHRISTENING DETAILS?
KEEPING VEGETABLES.
From Mrs. H. E. L., Washington J
We are expecting baby the last
of February. I would like, to make
the birth announcements myself
am a very amateur artist, but can
handle something simple. Although
I have tried a good book store, and
an art store in Washington, neither
could give, me ideas to use, nor
could they tell me where I might get
some. Perhaps some of your read
ers have ideas + could use.
Another question: The church to
which we belong Is located in Cali
.fornia, and we will have the baby
christened here at the Navy Chapel.
From Emily Posts etiquette book I
can find the proper form for sending
invitations to friends for the chris
tening. However, we would like
these friends to come to the house
after the ceremony. How would
that be worded on the invitations?
Most of these people do not go to
this church, and live quite a dis
tance from us. Church is over at
II am. I would like guests to come
and 60 over a period of or 8
hours, If that is done, and would
like to serve something to each as
they come. How is this handled
and what could I serve at that time
of day? Is such entertaining after
christening proper?
Here's something which might be
of help to some of you:
When storing fresh vegetables in
your refrigerator, clean them and
place them in pint, quart or half
gallon jars after the water has
drained off of them somewhat. Just
screw the lids On tightly, they do
not need to be sealed. Any vege-
table have ever tried keeps per-
fectly fresh and crisp for days.
Carrots, beets, etc, shorter time.

CHRISTMAS CACTUS.
ROACHES AND WATER BUGS.

ROACHES AND WATER BUGS.
From Mrs. M. A. H., Arlington.)
Your cactus will not bloom If it is
too thick in the pot. I had the same
trouble, and I thinned 1t out, making
three pots, and the blooms are much
larger.
Reaches and water bugs: Just get
a bottle of a certain liquid spray
sold at a gas station and go by the
directions on the bottle, and it will
be goodbye bugs of any kind.

SUGGESTIONS.


From Mrs. X. c., Arlington.)
RICH is wonderful! I'm sure that
I have gained more sound, practical
knowledge from it than from all
my years Of studying home eco
nomics.
Here are some hints that I hope
may be of help to other readers.
Starching Colored Collars: I
watched my sister, an Army nurse,
launder her khaki-tan shirts. She
washed and dried them as usual,
sprinkled ready to iron. She had
ready a very thick boiled starch,
and sponged it on the UNDER side
of the collar. She placed a dry
cloth over this to prevent sticking,
ironed till almost dry, then turned
and ironed right side until dry.
Her collars were stiff and smooth,
showed no sign of starch mark on
the right side.
Quick Defrosting: A heavily iced
unit can be completely thawed In
80 minutes or less by using the
blower end of tank-type vacuum
cleaner. Put the cleaner up close
and allow air to blow directly on
the unit, with trays removed. Also,
the vacuum blower is an excellent
hair dryer.
Washing Venetian Blinds: n
cleaned my Venetian blinds Zone
of them 7 feet wide) this way:
Lay them on kitchen floor, extended
to full length. Scrub Stats, tapes
and all with brush dipped in solu-
ton made with one of the popular
cleaning compounds. Wipe off asI
much water as possible, re-hangI
blind, then wipe thoroughly to re-
move all water. This way, blinds
are very clean and the wooden
Stats on my blinds did not warp,
but tapes shrank slightly. It's really
not so hard as one might imagine,
either.
Punch: Here is a delicious punch
for a large group of people I have
made it for as many as 200, re-
ducing the proportion of gingerale
for the larger quantities. The
recipe as I give it serves about sol
people.
Orange Ice Punch: One gallon of
orange ice, quarts gingerale (pale
dry), No. l tall cans sweetened
pineapple juice. Orange ice should
be partly crushed, but small Jumps
left to float in the punch. Pour
pineapple juice over crushed orange
ice and blend, adding gingerale at
the last minute and stirring no
more than is necessary.

Army
Interim Skeleton

nIeIIm SkSISIOH
If the United States were challenged
tomorrow, it could not fight a full
scale war before 1913.
The "interim army"-the force that
exists between wartime and the time
when peace treaties are signed and a
postwar army evolves-is a skele-
ton indeed.
Military planners say at least three
months would be needed merely to
notify, register and start back toward
Army jurisdiction men in the pool Of
5000, 900 trained veterans. 1t would
take another six months from the
time first combat divisions were re-
formed until they could be organized,
equipped, re-trained and put into &C
ton.
The only force at all ready is the
regular Army, about 100000. Plans
call for a National Guard of $780, 900
and the Organized Reserve of 1876 5000.
The number OF divisions ready for
immediate use can be counted on the
fingers of one hand, with several fin
gers left over.
The Navy active and ready reserve
fleets are prepared for virtually in
slant duty; the "mothball fleet" is de-
signed for return to action in 80 to
go days.
The AAF has the only known fleet
of super bombers in the world capa-
BILE of delivering the atomic bomb.
About 5000 B-29 Superfortresses were
left over from wartime production.
Deliveries also have started on the
new B-36, built to carry 10000 pounds
of bombs 10000 miles.
The currently gloomy picture for
the Army's ground forces is Offset in
great degree by the status of the Air
Forces and Navy.

Japan
Ready for Treaty

NGOOy IOI iISOly
Gen. Douglas Macarthur says ita
about time for a formal peace treaty
with Japan so that military occupa-
ton may be ended and further guild.
ance of Japan's characterization be
left to the United Nations.
Declaring that military occupation
had nearly completed its constructive
functions, the Supreme Commander
for the Allied Powers said that if the
U.N. cannot provide the mild control
needed for Japan, the U.N. cannot
meet any challenge.
In his first on-the-record press con-
ference since early in the war, Gen.
Macarthur said the first phase of oc-
cupation - Standardization - had
ended. The political phase, he said,
was approaching such completion as
is possible under occupation" The
third Observation-Disclosures be set
tied by occupation authorities.
Japan still was blockaded economic.
ally by Allied powers, Macarthur
said. Settlement of this problem ID
possible only through a peace treaty.
Japan today understands as thor.
oughly as any nation that war does not
pay" said Macarthur. Her spiritual
revolution probably was the greatest
the world has yer known.
Il don't mean that this thing called
democracy has been accomplished
The process of characterization is one
of continual fux; it takes years. But
insofar as you can lay down the frame.
work, it already is accomplished. There
is little more except to watch, control
and guide. 80" -
