TATIING:
HOUSE CLEANING.

from Mrs. P. B. r., Washington ]
Recently Mrs. O. r. H., Washing
ton, asked for tatting instructions.
She can flnd clear instructions and
picture diagrams in the Learn How
Book" number ITO, price 10 cents,
put out by the Spool Cotton Co.
Believe she can find this book In
the large 5 and 10 cent stores on
F street or in art goods department
In other stores.
To Mrs. M. A., Arlington, who
wondered about how often to scrub
kitchen and bathroom floors, etc.
find that once a week, doing a
thorough job. including the base
boards, and also waxing the floors
keep them spic and span with an
occasional quick wiping over be-
tween times with the small, sponge1
type mop. which by the way, is a
great time saver and one never has
to put ones hands into the mop pail.
1t Is more expensive than regular
mops but worth the price many
times over and I wouldn't be with
out one. Spring and fall I scrub
and use paste wax on the baseboards
and hardwood floors-edges which
keeps them In good condition except
where they get much wear and those
places ! do once week. The var
nished woodwork gets the same
treatment, although the white wood
work in kitchen and bathroom
around doors and stove needs to
be wiped over weekly. 1t is quite
easy to work out a schedule to give
the whole house quick picking up
and dusting each day, then take one
or two rooms as the main job and
doing those thoroughly. brushing
the baseboards and any extras that
don't need doing every day. Win
dows and ceilings are done spring
and fall and the former a few times
in between. We live where it Is free
from smoke and dust so the above
schedule keeps the house nice. We
do not have radiators nor Venetian
blinds but should think once a week
would be sufficient unless one lives
where there is more dust or smoke,
then they would need cleaning more
often.
from Mrs. r. B. O., Washington. J
To Mrs. M. A., Arlington. There
Is a book, Americas Housekeeping
Book" published in 1941 by Scrib-

tain household tasks should be per-

sounds like trivial problem to
some, 1t Is important to me.

habit of going in groups of and

once a week. Their husbands stay
home and watch the babies while
they are gone. I've. been asked
several times to 60 along, but de-

it's right to ask my husband to sill

Mrs. r. s.. G., Alexandra, In
reference to your whipped potatoes
being starchy when you whip them
with your mixer. 1t isn't your mixer
that causes it. You let your potatoes
get too cool before whipping them,
thus causing a starch.

once, then dab of butter, turn mixer
higher. My potatoes turn out simply
beautiful.

f'think you will find that If you
will add more milk to your potatoes,
you will find them more fluffy. Also
another mistake you may make is
that you probably don't add the
milk soon enough. Just break up
the potatoes by using your mixer
at slow speed, then add the milk
while using your mixer at a high

said:
THE town of Carrollton, Ga,
almost had a lynching on Monday
night. A mob of 800 white men
went tofthe county Jail to get a
Negro b ing held for the shotgun
murder a white farmer. The
patternSis quite familiar. This
could easily have been the notori-
Gus story of the Greenville, S. c.,
taxi drivers all over again. But
what was an important difference.
This time the mob could not get
into the Jail.
"The acting sheriff, Otis King,
happened to be a man of intelli-
gence and courage. He heard there
was a mob organizing, and went
to work. After locking the Negro
behind five barriers, and throwing
away the keys, the jailer telephon-
eG for reinforcements. Twenty city
county and state agents of the law
stood off the mob four hours, by
which time the crisis was over.
"Only a few weeks ago a quick
witted Alabama mayor out-talked
a mob, saving the prospective vic

ready in place. 1t is worth adding
that the sequel in this case was
that the rescued Negro was con-

places the present wages average
$500, with high pay for overtime

you don't know how to do them"
Citing the recent Urban League
study of colored workers in the
building trades, Mr.. Thomas stat

not only serious factor. There is
actually an alarming shortage of
trained Negro workers to fill the
