WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lovman

A happy marriage gives woman
more bloom than all of the cos
metics In the world! This does
not suggest that we should shun the
things which come in jars, but that
we should also remember that low
ing and being loved give a woman
beauty she cannot achieve in any
other way. You have often observed
this, I am sure! Some plain woman
becomes lovely. You never thought
she was pretty before and you won
der what has given her this sudden
radiance.
Making marriage successful in re-
alistic and romantic ways Is won1-
ans most important job, selfishly
speaking. OF course there are men
who cannot be fitted into a roman
tic picture by their wives. no mat
ter how hard the latter tries. They
simply do not respond to charm
and beauty, understanding, thought
fulness, tenderness and gayety in
the little woman But these men
are the minimum. Most men love
to be romantic but just do not give
much thought to it. 1t seems to me
that woman is better equipped by
nature to guide love into subtle and
romantic channels.
Perhaps the greatest fault in
marriage is the habit OF taking one
another for granted. The surer the
love, the greater temptation, and
the greater the sin, for taking ad-
vantage of it. Why not keep some
of the unexpectedness and surprise
element in marriage? 1t is a lot
of fun when a woman is invited
out on a dinner or dancing date by
her husband, and it is fun for him
if his wife looks and acts like a
woman he would like to date. There
seems to be no logical reason for
settling down on marriage like a
mother robin does on her spring
time eggs just because the two per-
sons expect to live together forever.
If you do not take each other for
granted it means that you will treat
each other with the same courtesy
and good manners you show to
others, that you will be thoughtful
and considerate and will think a
long time before criticizing.
If YOU would like to have my
leafet No. 63, Keeping Romance
Alive" send a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your request
to Josephine Loveman, in care of
The Evening Star.

CENTERPIECE.

From Mrs. A. NJ. P, Mt. Rdinter.)
In reply to Mrs. I. K. H., Takoma
Park, regarding the directions for
mothball centerpiece, I believe
have an answer for her. I copied
the directions from New York
newspaper about a year ago. 1t is
as follows:
Novel idea for centerpiece. Fill
a glass bowl with a curved surface
with water. Add one teaspoon bak-
ing soda, one teaspoon citric acid
crystals and three to five mothballs
for each cup of water. The chem
ical reaction of baking soda and
citric acid will keep the mothballs
moving from the surface of the
water to the bottom of the bowl
and back for about two hours. The
curved surface of the bowl magni-
fies the size of the mothballs. and
if you place the bowl on a mirror
you get twice the effect This CEN
terpiece is even more interesting If
the water is colored with little
vegetable coloring. Float a few
flowers on top
Although I have never made one
of these, 1 expect the citric acid
crystals may be obtained in a drug
store.
My recollection of the "Depres-
sion Flower" or Depression Plant"
dates back to the time that they
were popular during the depression.
They are made with several pieces
of bituminous coal placed in shall
low bowl and dampened. I believe
Just little water is left in the bowl,
then a generous covering of salt is
poured onto the Jumps of coal. The
bowl should be placed in a dark
place for several days and a reaction
between chemicals in the coal and
the salt takes place. causing the
salt to assume brilliant colors.

From X. j., Arlington.)
One radio announcer said If you
will take your problem TO the Clear
ing House a city full of Star sub
scribers will help you figure out the
answer!
Some time ago some one wanted
to know how to keep grated coconut
fresh. l haven't sampled it, but an
advertisement said there was fresh
grated coconut among the frozen
foods.
NV own practice is to sprinkle
sugar on the grated coconut and dry
it. I put wax paper over the tray
loosely and leave it on the radiator
in the winter time, stirring to pre-
vent Jumps and. to get the sugar dis
tributed. I have often put it in the
hot oven after the heat was turned
off. as this hastens the drying
nrocess. On one occasion some
edges got Drowned while in the
oven. l used the Drowned portion
for topping custards, bread puddlngs
and cakes, the brown toasted COCO

matter to dry it a perfect white,

brown sugar, about one-fourth or
third of stick of butter, about
three tablespoons cream and cup

over low fire and spread over any

oven, put the cake with meringue
under broiler till it bubbles and is
tinted with brown.

From Mrs. J. S. S., Cheuy Chase

mother a suggestion made by our
doctor. When treating for ear ache
instead of using an ordinary ice bag.
which covers more surface than is
necessary and is heavy, use your
rubber glove! Put an ice cube in
the thumb and one in the fore fin
ger. Then put rubber band at
the base of each, also at the wrist
to hold the water in as the cube
melts. Hang the fingers over the
ear, with one cube at the front OF
the ear and one at the back over
the mastoid bone. 1t is much more
comfortable than the ice bag.

Return Of Macarthur
Is Urged by 0'DanieI

Senator ODaniel, Democrat OF
Texas, said yesterday that Gen
Macarthur should be required to
return from Japan and testify be-
fore Congress.
Senator ODaniel expressed his
views in letter to Gen. Jonathan
M. Wainwright, who has been urg-
ing Gen. MacArthur's return. He
sent copy Of the letter to Chair
man Bridges. of the Senate ap-
preparations Committee.
The committee voted II to 2
Thursday to request Gen. Mac
Arthur to return and testify on Far
Eastern matters. But Gen. Mac
Arthur said that he did not want
to return at this time because 1t
would be condemned by many as a
political move. He has announced
he would accept the Republican
presidential nomination if it is
offered him.
Senator ODaniel said that if the
rank and file" of Americans DEM
onstrated they wanted him to run
on ticket with Gen. Macarthur
and it was agreeable to the Pacific
Commander Il will give the matter
serious consideration"
The Texas Senator announced
May 20 that he would not seek re-
election to the Senate. But he
emphasized that his decision should
not be construed as meaning that
he was eliminating himself from
politics or from seeking public office
at some future time"

Europeans Requested
To File Programs for
Recovery Aid in June
BY the Assoeioted Press

The II Marshall Plan countries
were asked yesterday to meet an
early June deadline in filing their
full first-year programs for recov-
cry.
Paul G. Hoffman, head of the
Economic Cooperation Administra-
ton, told reporters he is asking the
countries through their Paris Or
ganization to push ahead promptly"
their plans for using $500, ,000, 900
In American aid
So far ECA has assigned gifts and
loans totalling $l,326, ,000, 900 for
first-quarter aid to IA of the ma
tions, including Western Germany.
Actual shipments of food, fuel, cot
ton and other goods so far autho-
rized total $l62, ,087, including
freight.
Reports Top Jobs Well Filled.
Mr. Hoffman said one of the major
objectives of ECA already has been
achieved-the filling of top jobs in
the agency with high-caliber men.
This, he said, will help in recruit
ing other leaders from among 40 or
SO names now under consideration.
A second achievement in the
agency's eight-week life. Mr.. Hoff-
man said, is the extinction of So
Wet propaganda attacks on the Mar
shall Plan in Western Europe.
i've heard enough to convince
me there is a growing confidence in
Europe that we really aim at their
recovery. We have defeated the
Communist propaganda and its
claim that our real objective is to
make colonies out of the European
countries" the ECA chief said.
Despite the speed-up effort. Mr..
Hoffman said ECA won't be func-
tioning like the recovery organiza-
ton we think it should be- until
the October-December quarter.
Meantime, the bulk of shipments
will be the grain, coal, cotton and
other items needed to keep people
fed and present factories running.
Maximum Prices Won't Be Set.
ECA will not set maximum prices
under which foreign countries must
buy, Mr.. Hoffman said. despite the
potential effect of heavy exports on
American scarcity items.
"We1l check to see whether Eu-
rope is buying at the market level
here. If it develops that some coun-
tries are not doing a smart buying
job, we'll certainly talk to them he
said
Such talk can have a profound
effect because ECA can back it up
with the threat to refuse approval
for further purchases. Last Mon
days sudden sag in the cotton mar
ket was caused by his request to all
governments to suspend "anticipa-
tory buying of cotton in the ex-
pectation that ECA later will fur
r1ish the dollars
