Please, Mrs. M. D. M.

A few days ago we printed
a request from Mrs. M.D.M.,
North Beach, Maryland, for a
pattern in grape design. We
have received a number OF
these from generous readers
and upon trying to forward
them to Mrs. M.D.M., we found,
to our horror, that the letter
with her full name and address
is missing. This has never hap
pened beforehand We feel most
apologetic. Will Mrs. M.D.M.,
please be good enough to send
us her full name and address
again so that we may forward
the patterns to her at once?

Salads and summer! Nothing
original about that association of
ideas, but when it comes to creating
salads that cheer there's no limit
to expressing originality. Fresh
shapes, flavor surprises, interesting
combinations in ingredients, con-
trasts in texture and color-all these
invite adventuring in salads that
will satisfy both eye and appetite.
OF course lettuce has been coming
to the table for many q day. The
Greeks served it at the end of their
meals; the Romans ate 1t as an
appetizer, accompanied by eggs, the

ON DREAMS.

(From Mrs. J. c., Boston, MdSS.)
This is not meant to be of interest
to psychologists or those who make
a study of dreams. It may perhaps
attract the attention of people who,
like myself, are bothered by dis
agreeable dreams, not nightmares
but unpleasant. Ever since I can
remember, l am now 78, the same
dreams come very often so that I
know what to expect if one begins.
Perhaps the best way of explain
ing this is to tell a few of them:
l. I seem to be walking in a city
that I should know my way in but
for some reason I always turn the
wrong way and find myself at the
back of houses. The brick yards
get narrower until they form a
tunnel with a small round opening
too small to get through. I wake
up with struggle.
2. Another: I am climbing up a
steep zig-zag hill of an Oriental
small town. Every house is familiar,
though I have never been in the
East. At the top is mosquelike
tower which I never reach.
3. Others are the well-known fly
ing ability which my friends admire,
I enjoy this one.
4. Another is of a pool, solid with
large snakes.
S. Also the usual one of being
badly dressed or hardly at all.
The point of all this is that had
the idea of drawing my dreams. I
did so, trying to sketch the ones /
have described. The queer part Is
that none of them has ever come
back since. This about four years
ago, and, although I dream, my
nights are more pleasant. 1t would
be very interesting to me to hear
about other peoples experiences If
they try to draw bad dreams. I
have kept about 4 or 5 sketches,
they are not just as would like
them, but they seemed to have
brought a change to my inner con-
sciousness.

Washington Is His Hobby

Incidentally, going to market for
a shopping tour as extensive as
those conducted in the old days Is
on its way back, Mr.. Bernstein be-
lieves. And all because OF the deep
freeze unit. He explained:
when Florida avenue represent
ed the city limits, going to market
was a half day trip, and that trip
was made once q week. I believe
the advent of the deep freeze is
going to bring back the once-a-
week complete shopping trip. The
reasons will be different than those
that motivated our ancestors, but
the extensive, infrequent shopping
"trip will become customary"
Mr.. Bernsteins plans for the fu-
ture include two things search
for more and more Washingtoniana
and for a Colonial house with a
history that he can call home.

FROM AN EDITORIAL WRITTEN BY

PUBLISHED HEARST NEWSPAPERS, FEBRUARY a. 1898
In union of the churches of God against atheism and pagan
ism there is strength to succeed
In division there is almost certain defeat.
1T is enough for the churches to wish and to and to
believe that moral and religious sentiment will triumph in the end
1T is the duty of the churches to take the neces
say measures make that righteousness shall triumph and
religion shall survive.
There is certain day San Francisco when representatives
of various religions Jews Catholics and Poestan get together
and speak and plan harmonious cooperation for the advance
ment of all religion
THAT day is called Brotherhood Day.
Every should be brotherhood day among the free churches
of America
but promote the happy condition Of universal brother
hood all religions let begin by having throughout
the nation series brotherhood days like the observed San
Francisco
There is greater work to be done in the world in behalf of
righteousness and religion justice and tolerance than
church can accomplish Cannot all the churches unite in brother
hood to make it's accomplishment absolutely sure?"

the Army Signal Corps has taken
over since the end of the war is
that of playing Santa Claus to
many of the country's schools and
colleges by undermining their lab
oratories overnight with surplus
equipment.
This not only saves the colleges
millions of dollars, the Signal Corps
points out; it also pays national
dividends by building up a new
backlog of technical skills and helps
to close the gap between scientific
advancement and the kind of
courses the schools can afford to
offer their students.
At Xaverian College in Silver
Spring, Md, for instance, a new
telephone system, linking the col
lege's eight buildings to central
switchboard, was installed recently,
Xaverian also Is building an anna
teur radio station from surplus Sig
nal Corps equipment, through which
the students can get code training
and the college can maintain con-
tact with its buses in transit.
Another beneficiary under the dis
tribution system is the University
Of Maryland, where rebuilt radar
equipment is being used for cosmic
ray research. Other items provide
laboratory experience for under
graduate physics students.
AS of last June 80, the Signal
Corps had distributed about $4,000
surplus items to 2,807 educational
institutions all over the country
The value of the equipment was
estimated at about $50, 100000.
Most popular equipment consists
of radio transmitters and receivers,

phones, radar, power generators and
