MILDEW?

From Mrs. NJ. T., Riperddle.)
My husband and I moved to
Maryland about six months ago. A

clothing in the bottom drawers of
my chest and anything left on the
floor of my closets were mildewing
Is there a chemical that will remedy
this? I learned from all my neigh
bors that all my rugs, shoes, etc.
would all mildew in time. I might
add we have no basement.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES


/Fror Mrs. w. E. r., KenSington.)
All of the requests for this infor-
nation appeared several weeks ago
but have seen no answers to them.
For Mrs. V. T. M. Washington:
Recipe for Hors D'Oeuvre-One
package cream cheese brought to
room temperature, tablespoons
sour cream or l cream and l mayon-
naise. tablespoon grated onion,
not chopped. Mix with fork, salt
lightly, beat until creamy with
rotary or electric beater, cover
tightly and let marinate in refriger-
ator for two hours. Serve in bowl
beside a dish of potato chips. Each
person uses a potato chip to scoop
up a bite and there won't be any
bites left.
To Mrs. M. v. S., Washington:
Try putting q very light starch in
your rayon slips, crepe and satin,
not Jersey. This seems to deaden
the static to some extent. Static Is
what causes the slips to cling.
To Mrs. C. S., Chevy Chase: BY
all means use your old slip covers
for patterns if they fit well. It's the
easiest way I've found to make them.
and I've made dozens. Be sure to
press out all seams and cut or mark
notches in cover before ripping out

what I'm making, nor how much it

style shelf bracket. All that's nee
essary is a hammer. Any housewife
can do the job. The clips snap
easily into the proper numbered
slots. The package contains four
nickel-plated supports, is snap

This is just the gadget you need for
adding additional shelves in your
clothes closet, kitchen cabinets and
utility or linen closets.
An amazing, multi-use grill broils
all meats on top of any stove. 1t has
grease channels for draining of ex-
cess fat, thereby eliminating grease
soaked meat. You'll find crisp,
golden brown bacon remains fiat and
not curled up, steak is done to
turn and chops cooked on this grill
will melt in YOUR mouth. Steaks and
chops have more Of their own nat
ural flavor when grilled on the
ribbed side and there is no oven gas
taste and all fried foods will taste
better because they cannot be soaked
in their grease. The specially de-
signed heating surface, thicker in
the center of the grill, is made so
that heat is radiated evenly over the
entire grill. The smallest flame will
cook food evenly and thoroughly.
The grill is made of heavy cast
aluminium that should last a life
time. Thick ribs and ridgelike
construction prevent warping. It is
equipped with an always-cool in
sulated 5-inch handle. The re-
verse side of this grill is an excellent
wheat cake and corn fritter baker.

same philosophy as you would for
your friends" Mrs. Hahn advised.
At st. Elizabeths, Red Cross Field
Director M. E. Gardner said that
she could assure the organizations
and individuals providing Christ
mas cheer for St. Elizabeths that
you and your organizations are the
only friends that some of our pa
tients have. Lots Of them have
devoted families, but there are
some who have neither family nor
friends. They turn to the Red
Cross as all they have to call
family"

You can answer many home heat
ing problems simply and econoni-
cally with a portable heater. These
heaters are made for spot" heating,
giving quick, extra warmth for a few
minutes or a few hours, wherever
you happen to want it. One make
we investigated recently gave fam
forced circula ton which means more
efficient heat. The warmth is spread
evenly over a wide area, not con-
certrated in one spot. The fan runs
quietly, and there is no radio inter-
ference from the motor This is one
heater that should prove safe. 1t
has no red-hot wires or glowing
elements exposed, nothing to cause
fire, shock or burns. The heating
element is completely inclosed. You
can leave the baby alone with this
make heater and feel sure that his
tiny fingers can't reach the heating
element. The safety screen on the
front guards against poking and
prying. Clothing or draperies can
come in contact with the heater and
the children can even knock it over
without risk.

years is now packaged, for the first

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING HINTS
From Mrs. D. M. L., Arlington.)
For your Clearing House readers:
Many Of you will be selecting articles
of wearing apparel to give as gifts.
If you will obtain the measurements

and there won't be the usual re-
turns after Christmas because of
wrong sizes.
This applies especially to chill
dren's clothes.
Most department stores have tape
measures in each department. so
get the needed measurements and
see how it will simplify your chore
Happy shopping!

From r. B., Washtngton.)
For Mrs. v. K. c., Arlington: !:
While we homemakers are teach
ing our husbands. our children, and
ourselves When a guest, use q
guest towel" try one of the follow
ing:
/. Ny favorite. When you hang
your immaculate guest towel near
the basin, change the fold. You
would be surprised how many peo-
pie look at a towel not folded at the
regular creased lines and say to
themselves, This has been used: I
will not make extra work for my
hostess" and use it.
2. Use the very small turkish
towels. Many people will use a
turkish towel, as they feel no IRON
ing is involved.
8. Use the disposable guest towels.
I cannot give information on their
expense as I have never had them:
but have been q guest and found
them very nice.

A call for over 1900 Christmas
gifts for hospitaliSed veterans, active
servicemen and other patients in
Federal hospitals in the District
has been issued by Mrs. Fred Rieth,
chairman Of the production and
supply service for the District Of
Columbia Red Cross, and Mrs. Rod
erick w. McKinnon, Red Cross
Christmas project chairman.
With Christmas only four weeks
away, the quota still to be met Is q
problem, and the slowness with
which the gifts have been coming
in makes this present appeal an
especially urgent one. The chapter
will act as personal shopper" for
persons or organizations too busy
to do their own Christmas shopping.
Besides the 1900 gifts, Mrs. Rieth
said, 525 large Christmas stockings
are needed for patients ut st. Eliza
beths.
Myriad holiday goodies are needed.

pounds of candies, $50 pounds OF

lights, 722 tree light bulbs Of differ
ent sizes, 500 boxes of icicles and

Two cords of wood for Yule logs
at one of the hospitals, two electric
popcorn peppers for holiday festiv-
ties and six strings Of sleigh bells for
Santa to rattle through hospital
corridors on Christmas are among
the miscellaneous items needed
Fifty magazine subscriptions are
also listed among the needs.
Some Of the gifts this year will
tax the strength of that traditional
sleigh. A request for q television
set and two pianos has come from
st. Elizabeths. Patients in another
hospital in the city are hoping for

recreation hall. The Red Cross
hopes some of the large oreaniza-

these as Christmas projects.

Hospital Committee. has accepted
the entire responsibility for bring
ing Christmas to Walter Reed Gen.

COD LIVER OIL?

From Mrs. NJ. v. S.. Fdirtdr.)
I have tried every way possible
that I know of to give my 2-year-
old son his cod liver oil in manner
so he can't taste it. but so far have
failed. The liquid type I put in mis-
milk and orange juice, but he car
always taste it and all attempts
end there Now I'm trying the oil
in tablet form. He'll keep the tab
let in his mouth. take a big swal-
low of water or milk and then let
the tablet drop out of his mouth, in
stead of allowing IL to go down with
the liquid. Or else he will attempt
to chew the tablet and at the first
taste of oil, well. out 1t pops.
Following my pediatrician's Or
ders my son should receive these
tablets twice a day and I'm at q
loss as how to go about giving them
to him. I realize how much he
needs these vitamins and it seems
as if force is the only solution, and
I simply cannot resort to force twice
a day. not to speak of the effect 1t
would have on my son.

WhyGrow

By Josephine LoWman

When it comes to the type Of
clothes one should wear, there are
general rules for the short woman
and the tall, for the fat and the thin,
for the small busted and the full.
bosomed, for the long -necked and
the short. These general rules are
fine but sometimes when applied in
extremes, may lead one astray so far
as greatest attractiveness is con-
cerned.
For instance, we have often seen
very tall women with skirts up to
their knees Several years ago..
These women wore such skirts be-
cause they felt that short skirts
would cut their height. To certain
extent this Is true. However, the
extremely short skirt length on q
tall woman does nothing but make
her look all legs, exaggerate her
height and make her look awkward.
I receive 50 many letters asking
about how high a heel can be worn
when one is tall that am attacking
that problem today, along with SINH.
lar ones. Be yourself! Be comfort.
able! Be dressed appropriately!
How often have you seen a very
short woman hobbling along the
avenue on stills because she felt that
the additional height in heels would
compensate for her lack in stature?
How often have you seen tall
woman with very short skirts and
very low heels. looking awkward
and self-conscious?
In order to look smart YOU must
wear your CLOTHES rather than
having them wear you down.
Clothes must be a part of an attrac-
tive whole rather than a paramount
sore thumb, while you tag along be.
hind them. You must be comfort
able and they must be appropriate
for the occasion.
Shoes with platform soles are
wonderful for short women because
they build up their height without
throwing them OF hlance or making
them look as though they are trying
to be taller. Some Of the news
worthy, shaped. low heels are help.
full to tall women.
II you are overweight do not wear
dressy shoes but rather stick to the
classic simple lines. Also be sure Of
