The first week back from a Sue
cessful vacation and I find I want
to do everything but work. The
mail was piled almost to the ceiling
but the desk is gradually getting
cleared OF and the familiar green
blotter is beginning to show
through. But it was worth 1t all,
1t was 4 glorious vacation, cool.
restful and fun. Waiting for me
among the mail, circulars, etc,
were q number of samples Of new
foods. I haven't had time to check
them all yet 80 am not sure
whether our local stores have them
in stock or not. I tried out one
last night. it's tea in a new instant
form, . natural for iced tea because
it dissolves in cool water-a Won
derful saving on ice cubes. If it
hasn't arrived in our town yet,
watch for it because it's on the way.
It really was q pleasure to 60
through the markets this morning
and see the beautiful array Of fruits
and vegetables. For the "steenth'
time I thought how very lucky we
are to be living in such land Of
plenty. Where I was mentioning in
Canada we had plenty Of food, In
fact to much if you wanted to keep
your svelte-like figure, but we didn't
have the variety of vegetables we
enjoy here in the States. This
morning all the produce looked SO
fresh, attractive and inviting ]
wanted to buy everything in sight
We may not be able to buy all the
meat We want with prices SO dis
tressingly high but there is no need
for any one to 60 hungry when we
have such an abundance Of late
summer fruits and vegetables to
draw on.
There are plenty of peaches in
the markets now and the produce

them for canning. So you can start
thinking about it; check on your
canning supplies whether you will
need new jars, new rubber rings,
etc. You certainly will want few
jars of spiced picked peaches for
next winter to serve along about
the holiday time. Several varieties
of new apples, too, and good apples
can be purchased very reasonably.
Florida avocados are another good
fruit buy, the quality is excellent
and the prices way down. I noticed
few boxes of blackberries around
not many; however, the supply of
grapes, plums, and apricots was
more than generous.
The lima beans looked unusually
fine this week and 50 did the bright
green stalks of broccoli and the
snowy white heads of caulif1ower.
Those beautiful big heads of cauli-
flower are coming in from New York
and New Jersey; they are so solid
and firm you won't have q bit of
waste. OF course this Is THE
corn season so naturally you expect
it to be good and it IS, and there is
plenty Of it. The red, moist Puerto
Rican yams are an excellent buy,
wonderful with a roast port dinner
if you can afford to have the pork
The really outstanding values are
cabbage, carrots, celery, lettuce, pep
pers and yellow cooking onions. In
fact, onions are so cheap it is almost
unbelievable. The season for new
spinach is opening up again and we

sey; a good amount of other green's

HERE AND THERE: During the
summer months when you are IRON
ing more starched clothes than usu-
al do you have trouble with starch
sticking to your hand iron? There's
the temptation to scratch it of with
a knife Or some other sharp uten-
sill with the result you leave a scar
on the plate of the iron. Once
scratched the iron may catch on
fabrics and pull threads. If the iron
Is hot, fix it this way: Shake salt
on a piece of paper and rub the
iron back and forth, over the salt
until the starch rubs off. From a
cool iron starch may be removed
by securing with a very fine steel

wool or with a moist cloth dipped
in fine securing powder. Sometimes
just rubbing with q moist cloth will
do the job. As q prevention against
sticking starch, rub a little beeswax
or parat1in frequently over the hot
surface of the iron. Wen-cooked
starch is less likely to stick than
starch which is not thoroughly
cooked, so it pays to prepare it
carefully. -. Try fish hash for your
next Sunday morning brunch. Use
a cup Of cooked faxed fish for every
two cups of diced boiled potato.
Mix, moisten with a little cream if
desired. and heat thoroughly in a
skillet. In order to have red
cabbage keep its color cook it with
an acid. A few tablespoons of Vine
gar should be used for each cup of
shredded cabbage and added to the
cooking water. Now that dry
skim milk, officially called non-fat
dry milk solids, is on the retail
markets in small packages for home
use, thrifty homemakers have
convenient, economical product to
build up the nutritive value Of fam
lily meals. The dry milk is easy to
store; simply keep tightly closed
in a cool place. It is easy to use
because in most recipes it is used
dry by mixing with other dry in
gradients, and then water is used
as the liquid. 1t improves the flavor
Of many dishes. For those who are
not fond of drinking much milk, it
offers a means Of getting the daily
milk quota. Many dishes ordinarily
made with fresh milk may be
stepped up in nutritive value by
using increased amounts of milk in
this powdered form. Cool to look
at and cool to eat is nodded salad
of cucumbers in mint jelly. Sur
round the mold with Watercress and
olives and serve with slices of cold
lamb for a summertime meal.

fFrom E. M. D., WdShtngtOn.)
If you will run the hot water
over your wash cloth until all
soap is out of it, then wiring dry,
shake it, then hang where it will
dry. That is important. Once. a
week you should give it a good
washing with a good laundry soap
or put it in the regular laundry.
This treatment will also apply to
the Shiny dish cloth some one asked
about not long ago. There will be
no Shiny dish cloth if it is rinsed

to dry in the open air If possible.
Hope this will solve your problem.
From Mrs. A. L. p, Washington

an upward swing. During the past
six months, Government employ
ment in the Washington area has
risen to point where it now stands
at more than 205, 900 employees.
These are employees in the execu-
tive branch of the Government.
When you add to that the employees
in the District Government and the
legislative and judicial branches,
the total Federal Government per-
sonnet in Washington Is more than
230, 900.
What will happen If and when
the United States, as well as the
rest Of the world, get back on real
"peacetime" basis? Well, the num-
ber of Government employees here
would decline somewhat, but not
too much.
That, at least, is the opinion Of
top Federal officials here. The Gov
ernment is playing an ever-increas-
ing role in our daily lives. With the
increase in public services, there
naturally is an increase in en-
ployment.
The 80th Congress discovered that

that you simply can't reduce per-

|. Washington's Federal employment,
now nearly twice its prewar size,
seems reasonably sure of remaining
at its present high level.
If anything, Government employ
ment here will 60 up rather than
down in the months to come. The
national defense program, plus other
emergency undertakings, is reflected
in the steady rise in the number of
Government workers here during the
past few months.
Another important factor Is that
Washington is no longer city Of
war-service employees. Approximately
10 per cent of them have now OBJ
tanned permanent status and thou
sands of additional employees here
expect to receive career status in
the months ahead.
At the end of 1899, with the de-
fense program just getting under
way, there were about 100000 Gov
ernment employees in Washington.
At the wars peak, there were nearly
800, 900 Federal workers here. Most
of them were war-service appoint
ments-they had jobs that could be
terminated within six months after
the end Of the war.
After VI day, Federal employ
ment here dropped sharply, skidding
to a figure of about 100000 last year.
But with the international situation
