By Betty Miles

Mrs. Theodore Dinsmoor of Camp
Meeting road in Silver Spring aptly
demonstrates the effect upon a
home of paint. brush and happy
art sense. In their bungalow-type
house the Dinsmoors' solution to
the housing problem, the pine-pan-
eled Georgian living room Is alive
and gay with innumerable touches
accomplished by Mrs. Dinsmoor's S
skill.
Antique stenciling patterns, with
which she decorates chairs, trays,
lamps and everything within reach,
are her speciality. Explaining the
difference between antique and
modern patterns, Mrs. Dinsmoor
pointed out that antique stenciling
is distinguished by a flneness and
a delicacy not found in modern
work. Modern design is less clut-
tered and bolder in color and
feeling"
The pattern itself is painted with
bronze powder, applied with velvet
and shaded with the fingers. All
colors are used in coloring the de-
signs. Ten coats of varnish, with a
rubbing down between each coat
gives the product its finish.
The design is traced on architects
linen, then cut out with an eye sur
geon's scissors. Currently, Mrs
Dinsmoor is cutting out train
motif to be used on a tray. The
pattern consists of three cars
manned by an engineer, and is
crowded with intricate details that
can be shown only by cutting the
stencil extensively.
Antique stencilers, Mrs. Dinsmoor
tells us, are particularly fond of
patterns that appeared on old pieces
OF furniture. Among her old pat
terms Is a copy of a Tyre pattern

Mr.. Taft Still Talking

Having started prospecting for votes In
California and moved slowly up the Pacific
coast. Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio Is
travelling the northern route homeWard,
with what success en- route is still to be re-
|vealed.
All that Is vouchsafed the public is that
he has increased the tempo of his campaign.
One reporter says he is working so hard
and fast that he makes former Governor
Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, an out-ano-
Iout candidate for the republican presidential
nomination, "look as though he were in slow
motion"
We note, however, that Mr.. Taft's predis-
position rather to be wrong than be silent
is as pronounced as ever. Telling OF the
many conferences the Senator holds during
an average days journey, the reporter notes,
at Boise, Idaho, that he held a press confer
lence-"taking on all questions and reansWer-
ling many old ones. Tones down, without
ostensible embarrassment, one or two state
ments delivered off the cuff in previous
nights speech, like the statement he made
that half of the Go unions are communist
controlled "I think I overstated it, he
saws, Make it a number of CIO unions; I'll
stand on that Or like his explanation that
he didn't mean General Eisenhower when
he said college presidents should stay out OF
politics"
To the lay way of thinking it would ap-
pear that Senator Taft is determined to talk
himself out of the republican presidential
nomination-if he ever had a chance of OBJ
tanning it.

Stadium Traffic Jam

Attendance at football games played In
Legion Stadium are creating a traffic Jam
that calls for relief. The Star has heard OF
spectators waiting in their cars after games
for considerable more than half an hour be-
fore their time came to move on.
The ideal solution would be outlets into
Greenfield Park, a proposition that has beer
discussed on a number of occasions but with
out result. Since the consideration of this
means of quickly emptying the stadium's
parking space has led to nothing, 1t might
be possible to provide a measure of, but
not full, relief by instituting photographed
pne-way traffic.
That is to say, route part Of the traffic
eitywards on the Carolina Beach highway
and another part backward on the same
highway as far as the Maffitt Village cross
over, where drivers may either turn right
10 the Front Street extension at the ship
yard or left to Winter Park.
By thus halving the traffic stream and
utilizing the entire width of. the Carolina
Beach highway in either direction, under
police supervision, the traffic stream it
would seem, might pass the flood stage con-
siderably faster.

Eat Less Bread, Says Truman

President Truman urges the American
Ipeople to save a hundred million tons OF
grain for Europe, chiefly by eating less
bread, and Mr.. Charles Luckman, chairman
of the Presidents Citizen Food Committee,
SUGGESTS that in addition American house
wives buy cheaper cuts Of meat-"seconds"
as they are generally known-so that grain
which might be used to fatten cattle may
be added to the store in the "granary of the
world for shipment abroad, and also to
use grain substitutes and leftovers from
previous meals.
The probability k that nine Of every
ten housewives are already using, leftovers
and a variety of substitutes for accustomed
foods, not only because Europe's plight is
common knowledge but also because of the
high cost of foodstuffs generally. Even so,
it ought to be possible to lay aside a hundred
million tons of grains for the European coun-
tries whose peoples face a winter of munger
and can be saved from the C~ommunlstlc
tide sweeping the continent more easily on
comfortably filled stomachs than on empty
ones.
American housewives, no less than the
President and his food committee chairman,
realize that a communized Europe would be
a greater threat TO our own existence IN
liberty than a Europe being ground down by
the nazis, and infinitely harder to defeat
than Hitler. They may be relied on to do
their part.
But it must be remembered in the White
House and In all committee and bureau
headquarters that if America is to provide
the ultimate salvation of civilization its
people must have normal nourishment daily.
Americans cannot hope successfully to COM
bat communism at home or abroad on empty
stomachs or with undernourlshed bodies
than can war-torn countries of Europe now
reluctantly under the communists DOM
nation.

Baseball Bottles

Watching the crowds and their interest In
yhe series brings to mind those happy men
and women, too-who more often than not
conclude their joy at watching Dem Buns
play by tossing bottles here and there.
And we shall never forget a certain bottle
mat sailed through the air with the apparent
greatest of ease some years ago; floating
along without malicious intent tossed high
Into the sky by a Brooklyn fan who seems
not to nave learned that everything that
aoes up must come down, with the possible
exception Of prices.
This particular bottle came down, as such
bottles are wont to do. And, yep, you guess
ID It, right atop our uncovered, perspiring
head that up to that minute was all a-glow
with enthusiasm for baseball.
After We came to in the arms of a husky
blus-eoated Irish cop who was shouting:
Come now, me lad, whose the guys that
pnaAcked you;
We decided football was more to our lik-
fns. But this series, the Buns lead 6 to 0,
then 81 and, whew, its kind of warm for
football, isn't 1t.

Palestine Development

The Jewish acceptance Of the division OF
Palestine into separate states comes to the
world at a time when an example of peaceful
settlement is most needed and, indeed, is
one of the few really good pieces Of world
news in some time.
Having fought bitterly for what they be-
|lieved to be their right, the various under
grounds, through their official organization,
have now agreed to a division of the Holy
Land and the acceptance of a part exclusive
ly theirs.
The decision comes just a few days after
the British had announced they intended to
withdraw completely no matter what action
the United Nations may take and just a few
days before the Arabs were to begin a new
series of opposition.
The Jewish acceptance is not q program
to give up claims to all of Palestine but
is in the interest of a solution. This is indl-
cative of an about-face attitude on the part
of the Jews as a whole. True, of course, all
of the Jews in Palestine did not approve OF
tactics favored by other Jews. In fact at
times the various factions opposed each
other as much as did the Arabs and the Jews
themselves.
The decision by the Jews, voiced by the
Jewish agency before the United Nations
Palestine committee, was announced most
reluctantly However that may be, they
have made a move toward solution of the
crisis and it is to be hoped others Will foi-
low so that the world can mark this sore

won for the moment but to make the story
short, they lave resigned in the face of
continued public opinion.
Here is a lesson for any police officer.
The sun-totin' i~lliterate on the police force
of q modern America is swiftly becoming
a thing of the past. No longer is an 1ntelll-
gent population, who pays the salaries OF
its peace officers to maintain peace, going
to sit idly by and see these men use brute
force in carrying out their normal functions
America has become aroused over such
incidents. The policeman who thinks his
uniform gives him the right to push and
shove citizens about, even during an arrest
unless the arrested person makes the first
move of aggression, is mistaken. This sort
of peace officer, comes the day, meets up
against public opinion. And when he does he
finds out two things quickly:
He is out Of a job and, secondly, he is
out of the good graces Of his fellow man in
his town.
