Mrs. M. G., Washington, asked
what the long stringy shoots on ferns

take 1t they are not roots growing
from hole in bottom, but shoots rs
she says. II 50, they are the ferns
way of propagating. Set the pot Cor
plant it, outdoors and let these
shoots touch the ground. They will
take root and grow into tiny new
ferns which can be cut from the
parent fern in the fall and potted

COMMENTS.

(Fronl Mrs. c. Z. H., Wdshington.J
First, I'd like to say that I ap-
preciate RICH more and more every
day. In fact, subscribe to The
Star more for the RICH than any
other reason.
To Mrs. D. r. T., Alexandria: I
very much appreciated the method
Of preparing my baby's bottles on
the train, which appeared in Sun
days paper. We are planning a
train trip shortly with OUR 4-month-
old baby girl and 1t is needless to
say the formula problem had been
worrying me, now I can look for
ward to the trip with much more
pleasure.
To Mrs. M. G. E., Washington:
I am very much interested in join
ing . group to play bridge once a
week, even though I am beginner.
Let us hear from others who have
the same idea. There are so many
people who have to tear up home
roots and come to Washington to
live and I've found that most of
the residents here aren't too anxious
to become friendly.
PICNIC SUGGESTIONS.
From Mrs. A. M. p, Mt. Rainier.) }
In reply to Mrs. E. K, Washing
ton, requesting unusual picnic
menus and suggestions, have for
a number of years picnicked almost
every week end during the summer
and my guests seem to think my
food routine a little different from
the ordinary.
I use a number of small mayon-
naise jars for packing individual
servings of potato salad. Instead OF
making up sandwiches beforehand
slice down ham, lamb or chicken
and pack it into a jar; butter is put
in q separate Jar and fresh rolls are
purchased at q bakery en- route to
the picnic. All the items: Jars OF
potato salad, meat, butter, jars OF
deviled eggs, lettuce wrapped in the
new aluminium foil and tomatoes
and fruit, may be carried in one of
the various types of refrigerator
picnic boxes now on the market. I
have porcelain-lined jug IN which
put the jars and work ice cubes
between them. Turnovers or top
crust pie travels well in picnic bas-
ket for dessert.
This menu may be changed to
chicken salad, rolls, tomatoes, pota-
to chips, picnic eggs, cup cakes and
fruit. Iced tea Is our standard drink
made with lots of lemon juice and
crushed mint.
LAWN MOWER;
AFRICAN VIOLETS?
from Mrs. J. S. G., AleTandria.)
About q week ago some one asked
If any one of your readers had ex-
perience with the new style lawn
mower with the two rows of cut
ting discs. My husband and I have
had one for over a year now and
are very happy. We did have a little
difficulty learning to use it, but now
cutting the grass is a pleasure, not a
chore. The mower is light, makes
very little noise, will cut over rough
turf as well as smooth and will go
up or down grade. I wouldn't want
any other kind, unless it were q
power mower for q larger lawn.
Does any one know where can

flNEo TOft W1NDoWO.
from Mrs. P. C. ~, Lnurel.)
Some one asked for a recipe for
making a sweet potato pie: 1t is an
open pie. Have the sweet potatoes,
two medium sized, mashed smoothly.
Mix with l pint milk, 2 well-beaten
eggs, 21a tablespoons sugar, u tea
spoon ginger, 4 teaspoon cinnamon,
a nutmeg and pinch of salt. Dis
solve / level tablespoon of corn
starch in some of the milk and add
to the mixture. Pour into the un-
baked crust and. bake until, when a
knife is stuck into the center and
it comes out clean, it is done.
Heat, $50.
Vines for windows for Mrs. v. E. H.
I have a very pretty leafed vine that
I'm sure would give privacy, as it
grows quite thick and has waxy
CLOSED leaves. 1t is a cinnamon
vine and is quite fragrant when in
bloom. Have another one that grows
thick over a fence and has purple
blossoms, which turn into fingers of
red berries. Quite attractive in the
fall time.

ANTIQUE TRUNKS?

fFr0nt Mrs ID. T., GdttheTS0hfg.J
I have four very old trunks stored
in the attic. I should like to know
where I could find out their ap-
proximate worth and also where I
might find q market for same. The
largest trunk has horsehair sides,
now worn almost smooth, and a
leather top. 1t is we'll over 200
years old. It Is lined with news
paper and bears the following in
scription in the top: Blakesley, Box
Maker, Trunk Maker and Under
taker, Cheapside, London. The
other large trunk is Of horsehair
and bears q Philadelphia address.
The two smaller trunks are of leath-
er, studded with brass nail heads.
I have been told that all are museum
pieces, but do not know whether
such institutions purchase articles
for display, or whether these articles
are donated.

EDITORIAL
The Saturday Evening Post On Hastie


ALL AMERICA is reading, and discussing, Beverly
Smiths article, The First Negro Governor, which appeared in
the April 18th issue of the Saturday Evening Post. The article
is significant, not SO much because it discusses the case sur
rounding the most unusual governor under the American flag,
but because the writer, in SO doing, gives to the American pub
lie a new sant-a new Hght-on these Virgin Islands. A writer
OF no mean proportions, Nh. Smith goes right to the core Of
things and discusses in an able and impartial manner all the
pertinent problems of the Virgin Islands.
II Is most fascinating how the author, setting out to treat the
facts of the Governor, skilfully weaves him into the pattern of
which he has become a most significant part, and for which
he can do so much-or be found wanting. The reader of the
article is bound to realize that the Islands are indeed fortunatel
to have such a man at the helm, for no more brilliant and
capable scholar could have been found. And the article, givingl
interesting little anecdotes Of the Governors life, goes on to!
recount his brilliant record at Amherst, his election to Phil
Beta Kappa and its presidency his editorship of the Harvard,
Law Review, a recognized honor the world over, and finally
in his scholastic climb, to the doctorate Of jurisprudence
While all Of this is a most enviable record, and acquired by|
few indeed, yet the writer of the article puts another, and
even more difficult test. That test? To prove that he can con-
1tinuel to. carry out an efficient, effective government in theI
Islands, and bring local legislators to see the value in it ALL
ALI the heights to which Governor HASTE had climbed hadl
been relatively easy. Now came a different problem, wherel
local politicians, always unpredictable, added greatly to grave
economic and social problems.
SUCH articles in national magazines like. The Saturday Eve
ming Post do great service to the Virgin Islands. Here the
writer sees the problems, and particularly the economic, and
gives the answer partly in the return Of the Internal Revenue
Tax One caption to a picture reads: Life on the Virgin Isl
lands proceeds at an easy Caribbean pace. We bought the is
lands from Denmark in 1917 for $~25,0O0,OOO spent another
$~25,0O0,OO0 there, have collected about $5OOO0OOO in reve-

knutson. Personally | would
prefer to have a member of the
Ways and Means Committee
introduce the bill carrying
such provisions as your COM
mittee thinks should be placed
in the bill.
At the beginning, let me call
your attention to the language
on page 2, line 6 and running
through and including the Ian
guage on line g. 1t would
please me more to have the
bill specifically state what the
revenue should be used for
and | am submitting to the
committee, language which /
think would be more suitable
than that to which / have just
referred and which appears in
line 6 to 9 inclusive on page 2,
and | submit this other legis-
lation because / believe speci-
f1c direction would be more
constructive all the way
through than leaving the mat
ter to the discretion of the
President of the United States.
Let me say that ! personally
favor the transfer Of these
funds to the government Of the
Virgin Islands.
These people have been I'M
der our jurisdiction since
about 1917, or let US say for a
period of approximately 80
years. They are highly intelli-
gent, speak English, and / per-
isonally feel that the paternal-
istic attitude imposed upon
them by the Government of
the United States during the
past 80 years, together with
other policies which we have
have substantially
operated against the interest
of the people Of the Virgin Is
lands as well as of the United
States.
Generally speaking, we have
promoted and enforced poll
Icies in the Virgin Islands
which have tended to make
the citizens Of the islands
more dependent upon the
United States. we have too
much treated them as wards

nue." In the light Of the re-
cent unfortunate action by the
Ways and Means Committee
in tabling the bill for the re-
turn of the revenue, such an
article, containing such terse
and effective statements can
go a long way in presenting
the true picture to the Ameri-
can public. Such articles will
help to present our case to the
American taxpayer, and show
more clearly than anything
else that the return Of the Rev
enue Tax is not a mere gift,
Dut a rlght which is ours, and
which every other possession
has had except US.
SO well is the writer informed,
and SO accurate is his infor-
nation that he even mentions
the fact that the Progressive
Guide, which Governor HASTE
when he was Judge encourag-
ed, has turned on him now.
Says the article; The bright
eyed young idealists Of yester-
year have become the can
tankerous politicians Of today.
