LOCATING RECORD?

AltnOugn nave looked IN every
large record-selling store in WASH
ington, I have been unable to find
a certain rather rare record which
I would like to add to my collec-
tion. The record is '"The Calf Of
Gold Ge Veau dor" as recorded
for RCA Victor. I believe the num-
ber of the record is 1735 and since
the record Is listed in the latest
Victor catalogue, think the record
must still be available. If any one
could offer me a suggestion Of how
or where I could obtain this rec
ord, I would be very grateful.
I would also appreciate it If any
one could give me the words to the
Honeymoon March," the copyright
of which Is owned by the Edward
B. Marks Music Corporation.

STICKING CAKES;
APPLE PIE.
from Mrs. M. H. r., Washington.)
The RICH has been so helpful to
me that I feel it Is only fair to
contribute!
For the lady whose cakes stick:
Grease pans, sprinkle generously
with flour, pouring of excess. That's
all! I've never had a cake stick in
my life by using this method. and
it's easier than cutting wax paper,
etc.
For Mrs. L. H. B.-a perfect apple
pie! Cut and pare, or 6 apples.
Dump into tightly covered sauce pan
with u cup water, turn fire high
and cook for 10 to Is minutes.
Drain apples, but use u cup water
Gin which apples were cooked. Pour
into pie shell just l inch about rim
'don't pile high, add cup sugar,
mixed with 2 tablespoons flour, 2
tablespoons cinnamon. Sprinkle
over apples. Drop tablespoon lemon
Juice, dot generously with butter.
Put top crust on, and last but not
least for gold brown crust. wet top
of pie crust thoroughly with cream
tif not available, use milk). Bake
at even heat (375 degrees) until
golden brown. You'll get lovely
pie that is crusty and not humpy
and hollow on top.

ANTIQUE MIRROR?
From Mrs. J. A. r., Wastington.)
l was wondering if any of your
kind readers could help me about
large antique mirror. The mirror
is a very nice one, 1t has about 6
inches Of frame around it of gold
plate. Being very old, it has be-
come dull. I would like very much
to brighten it up again as it once
was very shiny when it was new,
80 my dad says. I would like to
be able to do it myself.
l would be afraid to send it out,
in case something might happen to
it, We are building a new home
and hope to be in it very soon, so
would like so much to have some
suggestion as to something I can
do to bring it back to its glossy
self f'again.
NAVY BUNK BEDS.
From D. J. G., Washington.)
To Mrs. E. w. c., Arlington: You
asked about Navy bunk beds; we'll,
we had beds of this type at board
ing school, and the only way I've
found to prevent ripping of sheets
is to use great care when removing
them. When you feel the sheet
catch, find the place and try to
work it out. The method that
worked best for me was to push
down on the springs while pulling
the sheet gently upward. Perhaps
some other RCH reader has a bet
ter solution of this problem, but I
hope I've helped you a little bit.

ELECTRIC DISHWASHER?
From Mrs. L. D., Bethesda.J
would greatly appreciate COM
ments from readers who own elec-
trio dishWashers. Do they wash
clean and dry thoroughly? Is sedi-
ment left in bottom of washer?
Is much repair involved in up
keep? Is it advisable to include
the garbage disposal equipment
with the dishwasher? My plan has
been to buy each year one piece of
equipment for labor saving in lieu
of maid service. I have had in use
the slant-type automatic washer for
two years. 1t is a joy to use and
is completely satisfactory. Also have
an automatic ironer, the one with
stationary ironing board, and two
completely usable ends. A little
n,actice is required to iron shirts
