Since I have never had that con-

my suggestion is sure cure. But
suggest you use lard, or shortening.
Leave a thick coating on "a hours.
Then rub well. This treatment re-

PLEASE FENCE HIN" IN!

From Mrs. L. L., SilUer Spring.
Please tell me your experiences
and give me your advice on a fence
to keep very active 2-year-old in
his own yard. My husband says in
one more year he will be going over
it any way and we can i'll afford
the expense of fence for one year
only. However, I feel that I could
do so much more work If had the
fence to make him stay in. Please
tell me, too, what outside playthings
he would find most interesting and
would keep him from running

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
from Mrs. A. w. M, Arlington.)
Mrs. w. H. S. requests a super
strawberry pie recipe, here is our
family's favorite:
French Strawberry Pie: One
cooled baked pie shell, quart fresh
strawberries, cup sugar, 3 table
spoons cornstarch, l cup whipping
cream. Wash berries, hull and drain
well. Then place half the berries
(the choicest ones) in the pie shell.
Mash the remaining berries, add
the sugar and cornstarch and cook
slowly, stirring constantly (about
10 minutes. Cool thoroughly and
then pour over uncooked berries in
pie shell. Put in refrigerator until
very cold. Served with whipped
cream, it can't be beat!
Also to E. L. with her layer cake
problem. Perhaps the reason your
cakes are fiat as pancakes is be-
cause your baking powder Is stale.
Why not buy q new can Of B. p.

trouble.
Thanks to the RCH for the many,

AFRICAN VIOLETS.
from Mrs. M. B., RiDerdale
HeiohtS,)

To Mrs. j. M. j., Silver Spring:
The long stems Of your violet flow
ers have nothing to do with the
premature falling Of the blossoms.
Some varieties are distinguished by
long petioles. Yours may be one Of
these. I judge from what I have
read in several good books on the
subject that your trouble is thrips.
I will copy what one book has to
say and you may judge for yourself
If you think it applies to your plant
and It's trouble.
Thrip on African violets is almost
invisible. 1t reveals its presence by
white streaks on the flower petals.
These are particularly apparent on
the dark Towering varieties and are
made by the rasping habit of the
insect. Another indication Of thrip
is the premature falling OF the
flowers. Usually blooms last through
a week or more. When plants har-
Dor thrips, blooms drop in one or
two days because the insects pol
Innate the flowers. Naturally this
causes the setting of seed and the
swift fall of flowers. In some cases
several weekly dustings with 10 per
cent DDT have cleaned up an in
lection.
(From Mrs. H. S. E., Silrer Spring. J
For Mrs. j. P. B., Alexandria,
re a yellow African violet, accord
ing to Helen Van Pelt Wilson,
author of "The African Violet:
Apparently hundreds Of growers
have heard Of this elusive color but
no one has ever seen 1t. As a
matter of fact, however, there is
no such color as yellow in genus
saintpaulia."

From p. W.. Washinoton.,

To the lady whose biscuits were
hard. She probably did not have
enough shortening for the flour used,
or had them too stiff. Soft dough
is much easier to handle when
rolled on a heavy cloth (Which can
be. purchased at any kitchen de-
partment) with a stockingette
covered rolling pin. One can reach
under the lightly floured cloth and
sort of press the dough together
without touching it, and then roll
or press lightly to desired thickness.
Use 21a teaspoons Of baking powder
to a cup Of flour. Very fine biscuits
can be made from prepared flour
which is on the market. But this
also must not be too stiff. You must
learn by experience Biscuits should
be lightly pressed together and
baked in hot oven.

Central Smears
.Gonzaga, 26-6,
For City Title

A tight football battle between
Central and Gonzaga High School.
at Grifhth Stadium yesterday sud.
denly turned into a romp for Gen.
trail when the players of both teams
became confused over an ofiicial's
signal and Jimmy Pantos of the
Vikings picked up a supposedly
dead ball and ran so yards, for q
touchdown. Central won, 26-6.
With the victory went the all
scholastic championship of Wash
ington, Central having captured the
public high title and Gonzaga the
prep school crown.
With Central leading in the final
period, 1876, Tom O'Keefe punted
for Gonzaga. While in the air
the pigskin was struck by an Eagle
player and an official raised an arm
as If to signal the ball dead. The
referees whistle, however, had not
sounded and Pantos, gathering in
the bouncing ball, set sail for the
goal.
Few among the $500 in the
stands, and apparently none of the
players except Pantos, seemed to
realize what was happening. A
couple of Eagles, on second thought,
started after him, but far too late
The other players and the officials
were still centered around the Gen.
tral 40-yard line when Pantos
crossed Gonzaga's goal.
In spite of spirited protests by
Gonzaga. the touchdown was ruled
legal. Gonzaga, plagued by costly
fumbles and pass interceptions
throughout, played desperately after
this crushing incident and its me-
chanical errors helped the Vikings to
increase their margin. They scored
a fourth touchdown q few minutes
later following a pass interception
1t was not Gonzaga's day. The
Eagles, spanked by Billy Haley, easily

a tumble stopped two of the drives

Gaps Conquer
Bullets, 1882,
For 18th in Row

By Bill Fuchs

The Washington Capitols were
led merry chase by the Baltimore
Bullets last night at Uline Arena,
but when the screaming of the 4,975
fans died down, were in possession
of their 18th straight victory. by a
margin of 1892.
The game was a series of cli-
makes, ending with one when Fred
Lewis last-second attempt to win
for Baltimore failed. Lewis shot
tipped through the air as the final
buzzer sounded, but it bounced from
the rim and the Caps perfect rec
ord for the season was preserved.
Not since last year when Bob
Feerick pushed up a basket to whip
Philadelphia have Uline customers
been treated to such q hair-raising
finish.
Spice was added to the contest in
the first period when Balt.more's
Buddy Jeannette and the Caps
Freddie Scolari came near to blows
following a collision in midcourt.
Washington's Matt Zunic collared
Jeanette to end the fray.
Caps of to Big Lead.
At the start the Caps ran up an
81 lead on floor shots by Cleggie
Hermsen, Scolari, Bones Mckinney
and Feerick. Aided by eight foul
shots the Bullets narrowed the gap
to 21-20 as the quarter ended.
With Zunic and Mckinney show
| ing the way the CAPS bolted far
ahead again in the second period,
leaving the floor at intermission
with a 1897 lead. The Caps scored
20 field goals in the first half.
But the bullets returned to the
floor looking like a brand-new out
fit. With Connie Simmons, who led
the scoring with II field goals, sink
ing four floor shorts, and Hal It'd
rick, Lewis and Ezersky all hitting,
the Caps lead began to dwindle.
When Lewis sent a long-two-
handler through the hoop to tie the
Caps for the first time, 1t only
marked the beginning. The lead
changed hands nine times, eight
in the last period.
Caps Come from Behind.
Trailing, 60-64, as the final period
began, Washington began firing
them in. Mckinney, who led the
Caps with 81 points, tied the game
at 64-64. Chick Reiser put the
Bullets ahead with a free toss. Dick
Schulz and John Norlander con-
nected with floor shots to give the
lead back to the Caps. John Pet
kingdoms field goal and Irv Tor
gof's free toss tied it up again. The
Caps moved in front again, only to
have Simmons push up another one
to give Baltimore a 1-point lead
with a minute to go.
At this point Hermsen put one
over his head and Feerick sank q
goal left-handed to give the Caps an
81-78 lead and they decided to
freeze the ball.
Lewis got the leather back for
the Bullets and tossed in two points
to make it $3.50. The Caps again
tried to freeze, but Hertzberger was
fouled and sank his shot with only
40 seconds to go. Feerick was fouled
by Ezersky and he made 1t $3.50
with IL seconds left.
Budko made it 83-82 and with the
fans screaming Lewis intercepted
Schulz's pass and made his des-
perate shot. It missed by inches.
And the Bullets bowed to the Caps
for the eighth time in 10 games
over the last two seasons.
