ECONOMY HINTS;
WASHING APPLE?
(Ero1n 7. L. Arlin0tOl,


I have some hints for Mrs. S. S.
and any one else interested in
economy. Before trying to econ
omize, know your food facts so
you can cut costs wisely without
harming any ones health. Inci-
dentally, an 11:15 morning pro-
gram has helpful hints on econ
omy and putritionJ
Shop for weekend bargains.
Check prices in the newspaper first
and check quality when you reach
the store. Vegetable prices vary
considerably so don't fall for 25-
cent broccoli when kale is only 8
cents a pound. Meat prices will
vary a lot, so don't insist on q
steak when good chuck is featured
at an attractive price. Never buy
ham without checking prices. Some
local brands may sell for 8 to S
cents a pound less than other
brands. Beef liver is an economy
dish. very nutritional, with no
bone or fat.
Save by buying large sizes or in
bulk when possible shortening in
3-pound tin. etc.,. I find canned
fruit juice much cheaper than
fresh fruit juice, and the food
value is assured. I keep some
fresh fruit on hand for snacks or
as a change from canned juice.
Use less expensive eggs for baking.
An egg a day is fine. but for
variety and economy fix pancakes
for breakfast that contain one or
more eggs. Homemade sirup is a
real economy-add l cup water to
2 cups white and u cup brown
sugar. Mix and then boil / min
ute. Cool some and add V tea
spoon maple f1avoring. (Atten-
ton, Mrs. K. b.
Avoid buying bakery products.
Drop cookies ESPECIALLY oatmeal
with raisins. nuts or chocolate
chips for Variety are quickly made
when you haven't time for cakes
or pies.
Although I never have learned
to purify lard to use in every way,
I do find drippings entirely salts
factory for biscuits or pie crusts.
Use a little less of the drippings
in recipes for same.
Dishes ! consider economical:
Spaghetti, macaroni and cheese q
pound at 70 cents should do for
family of y. fish (no waste) and
dry beans, as we'll as various other
combinations with rice. macaroni
and potatoes. Balance these meals
with suitable fruits and vegetables.
Use better desserts for economy or
meatless meals. Custard and gel
attn desserts provide additional
proteinS.
My request: How can an apple
be thoroughly cleaned for a child's
lunch? Just washing doesn't re-
move the waxlike coating in which
considerable dirt is retained, as
scraping will show.

WAX STAINS?
From Mrs. r. H., Falls Church,
The RICH is a daily must, but
somehow I must have missed a
suggestion on removing wax stains
(colored) from tablecloths. My
particular problem is concerning
wax that has dripped right
through the tablecloth and has
left the stain ON both sides.

This letter is getting too long,
but I could 60 on and on. Two
things must add: We use a lot Of
organ" meats, tripe, liver. heart,
lungs and brains. and we have

family recently commented that I
hadn't repeated myself in two
months. That, I felt, was a real
compliment!
TEA STAINS?
(From Mrs. E. B. M, Washington0
Is there any way to remove tea
stains from lace or linen table
cloths after the cloths have been
washed? I know that they can
usually be removed if boiling wa
ter is poured through the cloth
while the stain is fresh, but one
forgets to remove the cloth i'm
mediately after a meal. and be-
sides, guests who spill the tea then
feel guilty.
PENN-DUTCH COOKBOOK.
(Fron, E. M. S., ArlingtonJ
Here is some information about

Harper & Bros, New York. The
author has pennsylvania

LAUNDRY TUBS?
From V. M. w., BrentWoodD
My request is for renewing the

COMMENT.
(From Mrs. N. c. D., Alexandria. }
May I take up a little space
to add a few gripes? I'm not flnd-
ing fault with the RICH. heaven
forbid. Instead, I'm finding fault
with the many women who have
written in, complaining of being
tired of reading about certain
subjects. May I suggest that they
skip over any that are not of
interest to them? Maybe some OF
the items that are their pets are
a bore to others. I'm sorry, now,
that didn't follow the African
violets more closely, for I have
succumbed to their beauty and
am trying to raise some. Will
some violet grower please tell me
just how you prepare the eggshell
mixture? I will be grateful.

FILING SYSTEM.

(From Mrs. C. G. c.. WashingtonJ
v. E. K, Falls Church, wants
to know a simple way of keeping
recipes for future use. She might
be interested in my method. l
found out long ago that the reg
ular size recipe box was way too
small for the numerous recipes
one manages to accumulate
through the years, so did away
with it entirely. I obtained dis
carded, office size, pasteboard file
box, about three or four times
the size of the other, covered II
over with a few eye-catching pic
lures from Better Homes and
Gardens Zone of my old stand
bys. like RCH), shellacked it,
then went to work on the insldes.
First I filed all my recipes in
their proper order. biscuits. cakes.
candy, etc. The 10-cent store has
these cards at the stationery
counter. Then pick up a set OF
alphabetical file cards. Az. Also
a set of plain file cards on which
to paste your recipes. Make a
cross-index file with these cards
and you will always be able to
lay your hands on any recipe you
want. For instance. under T
make a card which says Tomato
Soup. There might be four or
five different ways tomato soup
will be used in you house. My
card says: Tomato Soup-Hus-
bands Cake. under Cakes: To-
mato Rarebit, under Miscella-
neous q made up this heading
myself-you will find yourself do
ing the same thing; it's quite
helpful for the odd recipes you
Just don't know how to flle). An
other example, to make myself
a little clearer. Under A make
a card which says Apples. Their
use is practically unlimited If you
love that fruit in your kitchen
as much as we do! My card says:
Apples-Baked Apple Ring, look
under Desserts. (This is another
heading I made up to suit my
self.) Coffee Cake-look under
Cakes; Yam-Apple Casserole. I
look under Casserole; Amber Pud-
ding, look under Puddings. Let
me explain here that the head
ings made up myself were
tucked In with the regular cook
ing file of cards, the Biscuits,
Cakes, etc., and not to be con-
fused with the other set OF cross
index cards. I find this method
foolproof and easy to keep up
once you get organized. This ex-
PLANTATION may sound compll-
Gated, but the system is really
very simple and most efficient.
WASHING SWEATERS.

Is washed, pull to the size drawn
on paper, and let dry on floor or

question has shrunken, I would
suggest that she draw a diagram

Congress Members
Now Agree Threat
To Peace Is Real

There was one point of fairly
general agreement today in early
congressional reaction to news that
Russia apparently has the atom
bomb-the threat to peace is real
On what to do about it there
were about as many opinions as
there are shades of thinking al
the Capitol on world affairs.
Sample comment:
Senator Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska: If the President knew
yesterday that Russia had the
atomic bomb, why has the en-
phasis been placed on the ground
war strategy of the military as
sistance bill passed by the Senate
last night?"
He said this country should di-
rect its defense efforts to develop
ing ai1bases in the United States
North Africa and the Pacific, and
concluded a statement:
"A fortnight, honorable foreign
policy. with fairness to Russia and
all other countries, is the best
guarantee for keeping the peace. -
Representative Cox, Democrat
of Georgia: What the President
disclosed today emphasizes to me
that it would be suicidal for the
United States to falter in its pro-
gram for reconstructing and re-
arming Western Europe. Unless
we can save Western Europe from
Russian domination we might just
as well prepare to wear the yoke
that Russia will impose"
Representative Cunningham
Republican, of Iowa: If this is
true, it means World War III is
that much closer"
Representative Harrison, Demo-
crat, of Virginia: THE announce
ment emphasizes the need fol
atomic controls in accordance with
the proposals advanced some time
ago by Bernard Baruch."

Russians Have Hinted
Repeatedly at Having
Secret Of Atom Bomb
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Russians and their Com
munist allies in Europe have
thrown out repeated hints that
the U. S. S. r. has broken the
secret Of atomic bomb production.
A year ago. Andrei Y. Vishinsky,
Soviet Foreign Minister, pro-
claimed in Paris that the United
States no longer had a monopoly
on the deadliest weapon in the
history of warfare.
Mr.. Vishinsky, then deputy for
Ieign minister. made this remark
October l, 1948, in a United Ma
tions address:
1T Is mistake to think that
there is just one state which has
a monopoly over atomic energy
and the atomic bomb. 1t is use
less to think of such thing. 1t
Is useless to hope for that. because
this is fraught with dire and dam
gerous consequences and miscau-
culations."
Molotov Statement Recalled.
Almost a year before that,
Mr.. Vishinsky's predecessor as
Foreign Minister, V. M. Molotov,
dropped suggestion only bit
less broad. The secret of the
atomic bomb. he said, has ceased
to exist"
Samedi Soir, a Paris weekly
newspaper, said July 26:
THE U. S. S. r. has the atom
bomb"
The Paris newspaper said that
on July 10. United States detect
ing devices had revealed without
possible doubt that the Russians
had atom bombs exploded in their
far-away Asian territories"
This, Samedi Soir said, over
turned "the whole strategy of the
cold war"
Americans had reason to suspect
as early as last March or April
that an explosion had occurred in
Russia's Asiatic territories, the
newspaper said. 1t added that a
Russian major named Silov, vino
had escaped in May to the British
sector of Berlin and was later
brought to Frankfurt and London.
had reported that tests had gone
on in Siberia and the Urals region
Iof an atom mixture" furnished
by atomic piles and that these
tests had been satisfactory.
Flyers Hinted at Bomb.
In March, a Russian Army flyer
who fed Siberia and landed his
plane in Japan told reporters Rus
sian flyers have the impression
that the Soviets have the atomic
bomb"
There have been other such
hints. Notable was the one thrown
out last January by Palmiro Tog-
liatti, the boss of the Italian Com
munists, who is as close to the
Kremlin as it is possible for a nom
Russian Communist to be.
Togliatti made a speech in Bo-
logna in which he said "the atomic
bomb is no longer a secret"
Don't be worried" Togliatti
told his Communist followers, "be-
cause the United States can't
make war.
