To those having trouble with
mildew or mold on grass rugs:
Sponging with a solution bf vine
gar and water ,(about half and
half), with a little detergent add
ed, will correct this, I have dis
covered.
To the lady who wanted help

They are made by a well-known
firm.
UNUSUAL PIE.

What? No apples? Line an un-

In a saucepan bring to a rolling
boil: One and one half cups
water. 1A cups sugar (white)
|1h teaspoons cream of tartar.
Pour over the crackers, cinnamon,

SUGGESTION.

(From r. r. c., Washington.)
Re materials and illustrative
materials. I am teacher in the
elementary schools and have often
thought of how the readers of
RICH could enrich the learning Id
our public schools. Lam sure that
many of you own Encyclopedias
and other reference books. me-
mentos of travels in the United
States and in foreign countries,
collections and pictures which are
now unused and gathering dust
in your homes. II you would tell
teachers what you are willing to
endow their classes with. I am
sure you would be adding a tre-
mendous zip to the education OF
many children.

DEFROSTER.S

(From Mrs. C. M. c., Arlington J
To Mrs. S. F.. s. of Falls Church
who inquired about the automatic
defroster for refrigerators. I have
used one of these defrosters dur
ing the past summer and find it
well worth the money in my esti-
nation. 1t is so simple to install;
in fact, l did it myself. and once
it is set it requires no further at
tention. The drip from the de-
frosting process each night is
negligible, amounting to only a
few tablespoonfuls. Since I have
no lid to the pan under the ice
compartment, which would be
adequate to catch the drip, l Use
an inexpensive serving tray which
I happened to have that fits the
pan. OF course. if you have moth
ing stored in the pan, 1t need not
be covered. Frozen foods Except
ice cream) in the freezing COM
partment are not affected and do
not start to defrost during the
short time the power is cut off
There is also a slight accumu-
lation on the outside botto::-
of the ice compartment wher,
the drip freezes. However, the
sides are left free of frost
accumulation, which permits free
circulation of air and better re-
frigeration. I defrost by hand
about once a month by turning
my box to "off" position and set
ting in a tray of hot water just
long enough to loosen this accu-
mutation Of ice underneath. which
drops off in the drip pan very
quickly. This is not any particu-
lar inconvenience as I would want
to give the box a thorough clean
ing that often anyway. These de-
frosters are still available where
I bought mine, just below the
business district Of Clarendon.
