LEMON PIE; QUERIES?
SUGGESTION.

From Mrs. H. c. D., Lduret.)
Some time ago some one wanted
to know why her lemon pies were
running and sank into the crust II
kept overnight. I finally solved this
problem, and would be glad to
write her if she will send me her
address through RICH.
Can any one tell me why my milk
gravy always curdles? For instance,
II like chicken and ham cooked in
the oven with milk poured over it.,
but this milk gravy always curdles
as If the milk were sour, but it is
fresh milk. I cut the chicken up
and roll in -four and pour a cup OF
milk over it.
Can any one tell me what issue OF
Literary Digest contained an article
about penicillin mist used for sinus
infections? I would like to send
for this issue, but do not know
which it was in. think it was in
the winter, 1947 or l94S. Would
also like to know the address to
which to write.
Several ladies have inquired what
to do about their Literary Digests.
When my husband was in vet
Grams hospital l took magazines
and found the other men enjoyed
them also, especially the Saturday
Evening Post. so would think they
would like the Digest also.

EMBROIDERY TIP.
From Mrs. o. X, Glenn Ddle.) =,
I want to thank every one for
their most generous offer and kind
ness in helping me to obtain some
golden glow" and iris plants.
Here Is a little tip for those who
like to embroider and are some
times unable to obtain patterns.
Get a child's coloring or crayon
book. You will find unusual designs.
Trace or outline with a dark crayon
(use a thin point. Stamp on ma
terial with warm iron. Many Won
derful color schemes are obtained
from seed catalogues fruits. flow
ers. vegetables). Have done this

LITTLE MISS BOSTON,?
from Mrs. c. S., Chevy Chase
Can some one please help me
locate copy of a very old boob
entitled, Little Miss Boston? I
have forgotten the author, but it
was favorite of my mothers when
she was a child and one of my own
fayorites during my childhood
have inquired at all the old second
hand bookshops in town but none
have it; although it has long since
been out of print thought perhaps
some of the readers might know
where I could obtain this book, or
even might have copy in their
own attic they would be willing to
let me have.

Discipline does not necessarily
mean severe punishment like
whipping. That is not good disci-
pline at all because it is force used
on the helpless body Of a child
Real discipline is the force OF one
spirit, one mind upon another. 1t
consists OF the intangible quality
that makes fine character. 1t
teaches restraint, self-control, yield
ing to the good of another. Yet
it must come from within II 1t is
to serve any useful purpose.
The attitude, the character OF
parents or teacher as expressed in
daily word and action can be the
best sort of discipline imaginable.
A child feels the attitude of those
about him and respects it when 1t
is strong for righteousness. Il

KANSAS CITY. Jan. 2s.-Vote
fraud charges against 66 persons
indicted by a State grand jury
which investigated the 1916 Kansas
City primary election were dismissed
yesterday in Circuit Court,
The mass dismissals followed a
ruling by Circuit Court Judge James
w. Broaddus that testimony OF
former grand jurors as secondary
evidence was not admissible under
Missouri law.
Ballots and records which the
grand jury used in its investigation
were stolen, and Prosecutor James
G. Kimbrell had proposed to use
grand jurors as witnesses to offer
testimony regarding the missing in
formation.
Among the contests in the 1946

cumbent. In the general election,

Franc DevaIuation

Secretary of State Marshall said
yesterday that he thinks French de-

the direction of the European Re-

izing European countries and getting
their economy in good condition.
This is despite the fact that there
are American and other objections
to some of the techniques used, he
said.
Gen. Marshall also told a news
conference:
/. There is complete understand
ing among the United States, France
and Britain on Anglo-American
plans for the administration of the
glo-American zones of Germany.

Compulsory Savings Law
MAY Be Enacted in Poland
BY the A,sociotsd Press

WARSAW, Jan. 20. A law to
make the Polish people save was
expected to be enacted by Parlia-
ment today.
The Finance Ministry proposed
the law yesterday. 1t did not esti-
mate how much would be saved
each year under the plan.
The compulsory community saw
ingS measure would require workers
earning 100000 to 100000 zlotys
(s2,400 to $4,000 a year to save
per cent of their incomes, or 2.40O
to 1000 zlotys ($24 to $40). Those
getting up to 100000 zlotys would
save per cent; those making more
3 per cent.
Private industrial and commercial
enterprises would be compelled to
save 81 per cent on 250,0O0 zlotys
annually and up to as high as Is
per cent on 100000 zlotys or more
annually.
The compulsory savings would be
held in special fund. When a de-
positor wanted to buy furniture OF
a home or needed medical atten-
ton, he would be permitted to draw
on his savings. Private businesses
might draw on their deposits to ex-
pand
