AUTOMATIC WASHER.

(From Mrs. E. S. McC., Riverdale.) J
I should like to inform Mrs. A. B.
that I have been the proud owner
of an automatic washer for two
years. I would not dispose Of it for
anything. 1t is absolutely wonder
full and very economical to operate.
My experience is that it uses less
water and soap than the old-type
washer. Frankly, would not be
interested in any type of washer
except the automatic.
I have encountered arguments
from friends (who were not quail
fed to voice an opinion, were not
owners of the automatic and were
not familiar with the machine) that
the automatic did not get clothes
clean. If you use the soaking
method and then wash white
clothes), have hot water and a good
soap powder, the clothes will always
be perfect. Also, be sure not to
overload with clothes.
If my kitchen had been just a
little larger my automatic washer
would have been installed in the
Kitchen in order to save steps in
going to and from the basement.
There is very little vibration from
the washer and since my washer is
In the basement, it seems very quiet
and does not make too much noise.

CYCLAMEN.
From Mrs. A. B. c., Washington. J
For Mrs. E. E. S., Greenbelt: ]
am glad to give her a little informa-
ton on growing cyclamen. I wrote
to an address given in RICH for in
formation on growing house plants
1.-THE Old Dirt Dobber," Nashville,
Tenn. He says, "Cyclamen is a
tender pot plant and should not be
given too much sun. Put in an east
window in winter and water every
three days. Pinch off all faded
blooms and wilted leaves so as to
encourage new growth and buds. In
summer set the pot outdoors in
morning sun only and water at least
once a week. In late fall bring the
plant indoors and water every three
days. Do not repot oftener than
every two or three years"

CHRISTMAS CARDS.
From Mrs. E. B., Takoma Park
To Mrs. A. E. w., Silver S>~ing
I would like to suggest that all old
Christmas cards be sent to Mrs. j
H. Hummer, 1925 Fifth street NV
She makes articles for hospitals
from them, especially for Children's
Hospital.
SUBSTANCE FROM TRACING
CLOTH?
From Mrs. M. H., RiDerd1le.)
I am wondering If any one has
had the experience of removing
the substance from sheets of trac-
ing cloth. Through soaking, I have
removed the gummy substance but
even after several boilings it still
dries as though starched. Under
meath all this Is beautiful linen
cloth and I should appreciate hear
ing from some one who has had
luck in renewing it.

also been acting program manager
She took over the second position
(the air equivalent OF newspapers
managing editor and, like 1t, con-
sidered q mans job on two days
notice. This fact might be a cause
for marvel itself II everyone at the
station hadn't known in advance
that there's a heap Of intelligence
under Hazel's Powered Florell.
As a child Hazel designed her
own clothes which her mother, an
expert seamstress, would run up fol
her. When she reached her teens
she became q stock company actress

and drama-at the University OF
Washington where she collected her
Phi Beta Kappa key. Then followed
post graduate work at the Univer-
sity Of Oregon, Northwestern, Co.
lumbia, New York University, the
University of California, the Cor
nish School of the Arts and the
Sorbonne In Paris.
While in the French capital she
took q fling at modelling, did some
more on the West Coast when she
returned to the States. She taught
dramatics in her own studio, became
a radio actress In her home town
Portland, then went into producing
directing and writing. She was once
station manager Of very small
station, really hit her stride as direc-
tor Of education for KIRO in Seattle
and in the Navy where she spent the
entire four years of the war. In as
a lieutenant, out as a lieutenant
commander, she had full supervision
Of all radio activities involving
women's shows for the Navy. and
was in charge of network radio for
the WAVES, the Navy Chaplains
Corps and the Medical Corps. This
meant handling programs like Spot
light Bands, Vox Pop, Meet Your
Navy and all travelling shows such
as Kay Kyser's and Bob Hopes.
It is in the field of radio broad
casting in the public service that
Hazel Markell shines brightest. -Four
shows which she has handled have
received national awards. Since
joining WTOP in 1916, she has been
responsible for the Washington
broadcasts of the CHS network
series, School Of the Air and Church
Of the Air, as well as the two local
programs which she writes and
broadcasts, D. c. Dateline and

for classroom education and teaches
this subject at American University

STRETCHED SOCKS?
TO KEEP ROAST?

from Mrs. J. Fl. M, Arltngton.)
I washed q pair Of hand-knitted
socks in lukewarm water and found
the size stretched considerably, es-
pecialy the rubbing at the top
What can I do to restore these socks
to their original size?
How can large roast be pre-
served at home for several days?
The freezing unit of my refriger-
ator is too small to freeze a roast
of any size. Last-minute plans
often leave me with too much meat
like to shop only once or twice per
week.

RAISED BUCKWHEAT CAKES

fFr0n l.. F. W., WGShtHgton.j
For r. B., Fort Belvoir. Here is
a tried and true recipe for raised
buckwheat cakes. There is, however,
much more to making these cakes
properly than a mere recipe. The
reason for adding soda dissolved
in little water) every morning is
to counterfeit the taste of sour
ness which grows stronger day by
day. The amount of soda to use has
to be gagged to the amount of batter
and the condition of it, that Is how
sour it has become. Start with very
small amount, If cakes are still sour,
add more after you have baked
sample. Another thing, your cakes
will be much better If you bake a
spare one every morning to put
back" tear it into bits, add to the
batter to stand and dissolve. We liked
part white flour better than all
buckwheat but that is matter of
taste. OF course, you have to add to
these every day. They improve with
age We made new batter now and
then, some people used the same
starter all the season.
Raised BuckWheat GLADSTONE
half cake yeast, l pint water, tea
spoon salt, -four to make batter.
Let rise overnight mo soda the
first morning., keep in a cold place.

REFRIGERATOR?

From Mrs. H. S., TaEon1a Park
should like to know whether
users of the new cold wall moist air
type Of refrigerator have found it
to be a substantial improvement
over the standard dry air type. For
example, may leftovers be uncov-
cred, is defrosting far less frequent?
I should also like to know whether
in the type of refrigerator with glass
doors at the bottom is this more
useful arrangement than the more
usual fruit and vegetable bins.

METAL NECKLACE.

(Fron1 E. w. S., Washington.)
Give your metal necklace a good
scrubbing with soap and brush, and
dry thoroughly. Then give two coats
of colorless nail polish, letting dry
well between coats. Give it an &C.
casional coating thereafter.
Have you considered having the
chain silver plated? Look in the
phone book under the heading
PLATERS and phone several to gel
prices. 1 just had an old watch fob
silver plated, to wear as a pin and 1t
is lovely.

COMMENT.
From Mrs. G. S., Washington
The limit to the cat letters must
be approaching so I hasten to pre-
sent my own thoughts on the amaz-
ing letter which suggested starving
cats in order to feed Europe's babies
The gruesome implications behind
this letter have been giving me the
horrors ever since
If the author feels that way about
cats, some one must feel the same
about birds, others about old people
paupers, incurables, Democrats
Baptists, redheads, beauty operat-
ors, lawyers, or even our own babies
Certainly the food problem OF
Europe is more deep rooted than
this sort of petty retaliation
against a pet hate. Serious as is
the matter we can feel grateful that
it can't be solved by measures of
this nature. Where would go our
American way Of life? We know
where this path leads, don't we?
That's what helped to get European
babies into their present predica-
ment.

MEAT GRAVY:


EASY CUTTING dERINGUE.
(From Mrs. M. A. H., Arlington.)
Make gravy in the pan the meat
was roasted in. Pour of all but 2
tablespoons of fat, sift in 2 table
spoons of -four and stir to mix thor
oughly and see that no Jumps re-
main. Then add / cup Of cold
water. Place the pan over open
flame and stir constantly until the
mixture boils. If this is done, gravy
will be absolutely smooth, without
trace of Jumps. When stirring, be
sure to rub the spoon over the
drowned juices which have baked
onto the pan. These will gradually
dissolve and flavor the gravy, and
at the same time color it with a
rich brown coloring.
To cut meringue pies easily:
When ordinary meringue pies are
cut the meringue often drags with
the knife; this can be avoided by
sitting little granulated sugar over
the meringue just before it is
Drowned in the oven. This gives a
pretty crust and makes the pie easy
to cut.

CORN GRIDDLE CAKES,

from Mrs. P. C. E., SilUer Spring.
Two cups prepared biscuit -four,

salt, teaspoons baking powder, 2
eggs, milk to make a fairly thin
batter. Bake on ungreased griddle.
This Is a never-fail recipe.

AMENDING HEARINGS.

from Mrs. C. E. F., Washtngton.)
do want to thank Mrs. r. p. D.,
for a most unusual experience. I
have long wanted to attend con-
gressional hearings, but I always
felt shy about going alone, and no
one seemed interested in taking me
UP to the Hill. But home rule for
all of us who live in Washington
made 1t q real challenge, so I just
followed Mrs. DIS directions, and
I am so excited that I am going
again and again.
My first day I heard men and a
woman talk over with the Con-
gress the reasons for and against
this present plan of self-govern-
ment. Somehow I feel closeness
to my Government that I never ex-
perienced before. Hundreds of
women should go to these hearings,
and show their interest in getting
the right of self-government for
themselves and their children. The
Caucus Room of the old House Of
fice Building is large enough to seat
them all.

deep appreciation of the clothing
which had been donated by the
people of Marysville, for the Hol,
