RUM PIE RECIPE.

From Mrs. E. S. Mel. Brentwood
Mrs. j. w. M. Washington: I am
quoting recipe for Rum Pie that
clipped over a year ago from RICH
and it Is truly delicious. Il bake
crust first, then use my best cream
pie recipe and when cool add rum
extract to taste. We found we liked
a. tablespoons, as we like definite
flavor. The filling must be cool, as
heat causes some of the flavor to
evaporate. Cover the pie With
slightly sweetened whipped cream
and CRATE some cooking chocolate
over this. I have successfully used
the vanilla packaged puddings when
short of sugar for the regular
cream filling" May add that the
packaged puddings are most sue
cessful and far less trouble.

EGG SHAMPOO;
AFRICAN VIOLETS. =

(From Miss I. /. B., Arlington.)
To Mrs. w. M. This isn't exactly
an egg shampoo, as you requested,
but ! think the results will be more
beneficial. It might be called an
egg treatment. One esq will really
do two heads very nicely. Break egg
in small dish, stir slightly to mix
yolk and white, but do not beat.
Dip fingers into egg and rub into
parted hair until entire scalp is
covered. You can leave 1t on as
long as you wish, all day or night If
you care to, but at least let it re-
main until it dries. Then wash hair
as usual. If ones hair isn't oily
this might amount to q shampoo
when thoroughly rinsed.
have heard tina: there Is just
enough sulphur In eggs to be bene-
fetal to the hair and scalp. This
treatment is very fine for dandruff
and makes the hair very soft land
glossy.
To Mrs. c. H. M. I believe most
peoples African Violet difficulties
are due to keeping the plants too
wet. Just because some people nave
violets that thrive when water
logged or soaking wet all the time
doesn't prove all violets Can take it.
1t even does them good to get pretty
well dried out occasionally. There
was a very fine article in The Star
some time ago which proved very
helpful to me. Let them have plenty
of sun from October to Nav, add a
pinch of fertilizer to the water every
week or two. They need fresh air.
When mine don't look too good I
put them in my bedroom away. from
window, at night, and on mild days
I put them outside or oy open win
dow. I do not find them so sensi-
tive to temperature charges as scme
think. Work the soil a little occa-
sionally by running a knife or fork
around the edge Of the pot This
allows the soil and roots to breathe
The article in The Star said The top
soil should always be a little dry.
Clay pots are best because they can

From E. A. T., Washtngton.)
In response to Mrs. w. Ms in
quiry in the November Star: For
years I used an egg shampoo and
had many compliments about my
hair. If one wished they could
break an egg in a glass and beat 1t
slightly, but never bothered, just
cracked the egg on top of my head
and was careful not to lose any of
it. rubbing the egg thoroughly into
all of my hair for several minutes

my hair isn't heavy and If it were I
should use two eggs. Use only

as one person did, she used hot
water and had a most unpleasant

of paint I should use on the fabric,
which folds when the buggy is COL
lapsed?
Answer: I suppose the hood is
made of some sort of canvas or
duck. Special paints are on the
market for canvas, and can be had
at the large paint stores. You can
get fairly good results with any good
quality house paint, thinned with
one-eighth as much turpentine.
Do not try to change the color,
as the old color might show through.
Use the paint more as a freshener
than to change the color. You would
get better looking buggy If you
had a new hood put on A shop
that specializes in the repair of
baby buggies could make a big i'm
provement in the appearance of

Friday, April 800
I Moving over to Sunbury for a
two-game series, the Owls dropped
the opener Friday night by a score
of Az.
Bill Wigle went all the way for
the Owls, and Senkowsky went the
route for Sunbury.
Sunbury scored single runs in
each of the first three innings, each
run coming on just one hit. The
first came on Sutton's triple to left,
and an outfield fly by Weingartner.
Buzas, the Sunbury manager and
third baseman, opened the second
inning with a single, moved to sec
ond when Ticco was hit by a pitch
ed ball, advanced to third on Hum
mell's sacrifice, and scored on Buzas
fly to center field.
Weingartner opened the third inn
ing by drawing walk and scored
on Buzas' triple. There was no
further scoring until the eighth,
when Filipowicz got a base on balls
and Buzas sacrificed him to second,
from where he scored on Ticco's
double.
The Owls scored their two runs in
the fourth, but according to the of
fetal scorer they were both un-
earned. After Rambert grounded
out, Daddario singled to right, and
went to second on a wild pitch. Felt
man flied to left for the second
out, but Crumling got a life on an
error, with Daddario scoring. Hare
followed with a single to left, driv-
ing Crumling in with the other run.
The Owls threatened in the top
half of the ninth, when Hare open
ed with a single to center, but Wigle
who had already had two singles
and double for perfect night at
the plate, was taken out for pinch
hitter (Saloman, an outfelder who
reported to the Hagerstown team at
Sunbury), who hit into a double
play. Martin and Willett both
walked, but Halvonick ended the
game when he grounded out.
Ed Yeash, who has been under
the weather with a stomach all
ment, was taken out of the game
in the first inning, after fielding
Sutton's triple, and George Dad
dario took over the left field chores,
with Halvonick going to third.

AT SUNBURY
Saturday, May y

The Owls won their first game of
the 1948 season on Saturday
night, when they took the
measure of the Sunbury club, 3
to 2. The game was won in the
top half of the first inning, when,
after Bobbie Martin flied out to
right, Willett walked, Yeash singled
to right, and manager pep" Ram
bert drove one high over the left
field WALL to score behind Willett
and Yeash.
After that, Sunbury's lefthander,
Dick Libby, and the Owls right
handler, Babe" Birrer, settled down
to a mid-season pitchers battle,
which lasted until the end of the
seventh, when Libby was lifted for
a pinch hitter. Eddie Lyons, a
Highlander, took over for Sunbury
in the eighth and retired the Owls in
the last two frames without hit,
although two successive errors by
shortstop Weingartner in the eighth,
put him in temporary hole.
Birrer, who had only allowed
three hits in the first seven frames,
ran into trouble in the top half OF
the eighth, when Sunbury scored
both its runs. Weingartner and Sher-
man both singled to center and

Second Game

The Owls lost a tough one in the
seven-inning nightcap. Barney
Schultz went all the way for the
Owls, and Joe Kotrany went the
route for Harrisburg. Harrisburg
scored in the third frame, and this
is how they did it.
Rakar, the short-stop, opened with
a single, but was caught off first.
Naragon, the catcher, made the sec
ond out, but Kotrany drew base on
balls and Zeke Emery drove him
home with double to center. With
Conroy at the plate, Emery was
caught off second to end the inning.
There was no more scoring until
the sixth, when the Owls got their
lone tally. Barney Schultz opened
with single to left, and Hare, who

PEPPER AND SPICE

The best place to find a helping
hand is at the end of your own
arm!
A hospital is a place where peo-
pie who are run down wind up.
A man never becomes so lost to
decency and righteousness that he
can't see the other fellows duty.
Money may not buy happiness,
but with it you can be unhappy in
comfort.
He who thinks by the inch and
talks by the yard ought to be moved
by the foot,
Some of us could we'll take a
tip from an acrobat. He turns a
flop into a success.
Sometimes an open mind is one
that is too porous to hold a con-
viction.
