who would sell us the parts.
Plenty of electric shops had the
parts but naturally wanted to do
the work themselves. I had 1t
done at shop on Georgia avenue
that makes lamps. Now I have to
hunt for shade.
In answer to Mrs. T. j. c.,
Manassas: I have never tried this,
but have read that in order to re-
tain the glossy finish on a table
cloth, 1t must be ironed on both
sides.
We are planning on spending
our vacation driving through the
New England States. Does any
one have any suggestions as to
what we should see, where we can
stop, ETC.? Any suggestions will
be thankfully received.
Has any one sewed with elastic
thread? Should it be put both on
the bobbin and on the regular

ruTCKENo
From Mrs. H. r. ~, WdshingtonJ
Since coming to Washington we
have frequently visited the Farm
er's Markets and purchased live
chickens from the farmers. I
have been rather perplexed about
the kind of chicken one buys for
stuffing and roasting and have
had more than one disappoint-
ment as a result. The bakers"
are frequently hens which, in the
past, we have used as soup fowls.
Since "fryers" are so popular here,
would one use them for roasting?
If not, won't some one please ex-
plain and tell me just what one
does look for when buying a live
roasting chicken? While I'm at it.
might ask what young roasters
are used for, a real explanation
of the various kinds OF chickens
and their best usages and weight
would be greatly appreciated.

meats, vegetables, poultry, fish

The very word freezer opens the
foodgates of my enthusiasm.

for them.
When make pie, I generally
make extra shells, or sometimes

EGG COOKER.

column quite frequently lately.
but like to help when I can, as
I enjoy many of the contribu-
tions myself.
In reference to the request OF
Mrs. w. W., Mt. Rainier about
the electric egg cooker. I'd like
to tell her that I had one given
me for wedding present 20 years
ago, and am still using it. Mine
is the kind which holds four eggs
in holes in a removable plate
which fits into the lower part OF
the cooker. There Is a metal
dome which fits over that and
water is put in the depression In
the top. and this water dripping
down into the cooker regulates
the time the eggs will cook.
have not used mine much for
hard-cooked eggs, as I've had a
little trouble getting enough wa
ter in to be sure that the eggs
were cooked hard enough and just
quit bothering with it, although
I'm sure that it could be worked
out satisfactorily If one expert
mented enough. However. it GER
tainly is a blessing for soft
cooked eggs, as you don't have
to worry about whether you will
catch it at the exact moment when
the egg Is of the softness you
want as you can soon tell how
much water to use for that con-
dition and after that your wor-
ries are over. I have three girls
and they all liked their "egg in
a cup" as they called soft-cooked
eggs, and it was so easy to fix
just one of any desired softness
for each one alone during her
babyhood. I felt quite lost when
my things were in storage for
awhile and I didn't have the egg
cooker.
GREETING CARDS?

 Fred T. Law, chairman of the CIO International longshoremen's and Warehousemen's union strike committee said mo" to that.

Fish Trap Tax Case To Judge Folta

JUNEAU, (P) - Alaska's hotly- debated fish trap case was eX- pected to go to federal judge George Folta today for a decision.
 Only brief rebuttal testimony remained for today's session after attorneys concluded arguments in the challenge by fish trap operators of the new law which quadrupled the Territory's trap tax.
 w. R. Arnold, co-counsel for the p. E. Harris company, the plain tiffs, summed up evidence yester- day. Frank Mechem argued legal points and attorney Edward Allen presented arguments for the mu- tual trap company, as intervenor
 John Dimond, assistant attorney general, argued the case for tax commissioner M. P. Mullaney. and attorney general Gerald Williams wound up the Territory's defense.
 Williams contended the new tax is not discriminatory, as argued by the trap operators, and he said that the canned salmon industry would not leave Alaska if forced to pay the higher rates.
 Williams said the plaintiffs main exhibit shows nothing but profit"

some of the more outspoken denouncers
of the Presidents loyalty program de-
claimed when the screening project was
launched. What these critics were talk
ing about was possible wave Of hysteria
by bureaucratic dictators accompanied
by mass disnissals without good cause
But the facts and the figures show how
mistaken these opponents of the program
were In two and half years only 1913
Federal employees have been dismissed for
disloyalty.
The overwhelming majority of civil
service personnel have been found to be
loyal citizens. Such citizens have no reason
whatever to fear the continued operation
of the system of loyalty safeguards set
up under the Loyalty Review Board and
the various departmental boards. On the
contrary, they are assured of protection
for themselves as we'll as for their Govern
ment-against attempts by subversive ele-
ments to duplicate in America the fifth
column tactics which have proved success
full in less vigilant countries.

No Terrorism Evident

The reign OF matchmaking terrorism
which some imaginative critics of the
Governments loyalty program professed
to fear when the screening process started
In 1947 has never developed. The chances
that such thing will happen are even
more remote today than when the fears
were expressed, some two and half years
ago, for the main part Of the loyalty
checkup job is over.
If there has been any terror in the pro-
gram, it has been among those few en-
ployes who had good cause to fear a
thoroughgoing inquiry by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. That there were
fears of this sort is indicated by the num-
Der of workers who resigned when they
learned they were under investigation.
Seth Richardson, chairman of the Loyalty
Review Board, points out that there is no
way of knowing just how many of the 1856
persons who quit while under investigation
were motivated by fear Of what the find
ings might be. Some, for example, may
have resigned to take more lucrative jobs
in private industry An additional group
of 848 resigned before loyalty board rulings
had been issued. Again, some of these may
have left for reasons other than loyalty.
But If fear caused these designations,
1t was not the type Of fear about which

Toys in the Atomic Age

1t often has been remarked tnat IIle
history of human progress might be writ
ten in terms of toys To illustrate the
principle involved, it is necessary only to
glance at The Star for half century ago.
Playthings then advertised by several
different Washington department stores
included Tin stables with horses and
wagons; wooden stables, all complete;
large iron engines, with tenders and three
cars; iron fire engines. with three gallop-
ing horses; freight engines, with tenders
and cars; iron battle ships; real skin
horses on stands, with wheels; lead soldiers,
in battle array; table croquet sets with
attachments; 14-inch jointed dolls; boxes
of parlor furniture; children's party sets;
dolls china tea sets; pewter sets, indie
structible; dolls morris chairs; dolls
swings and hammocks; hardwood Wheel
barrows; boxes of French paints, harmless
colors; hill-climbing streetcars; nested
blocks; large guns that shoot, with bayo-
nets; wagons with building blocks; boxes OF
new tricks; II -inch ten pin sets; boys and
girls sleds.
A reasonably merry Christmas could be
arranged in those days simply by having
Santa Claus bring all these articles to
any deserving youngster. Many man
and many a woman now in middle life
can remember hoping for the whole list
of them and recall being happy because
Of receiving few of the items mentioned.
But times have changed, and the toys
of 1899 are as out of date as Methuselah.
The playthings of the atomic age are in
a class by themselves A railroad station
with five electric trains operating coinci-
dentally is only sample of what is avail
able in 1949 for the amusement of Junior
and his Pop. Imported bears that really
growl, miniature Arizona trading posts
all equipped for business with the cow
hands, bronchos on rubber balloon wheels,
laminated aluminium building pieces which
can be assembled to make elevator towers
eight feet high, crane hoists to teach CO.
ordination of feet and hands, Little Women
dolls right out of Louisa May Alcott's
famous book, Alice in Wonderland dolls
with real hair, washing machines that
actually wash clothes, combination player
and keyboard pianos, more than fifty
varieties of guns; costume outfits for
ranchers, mounties, aviators, deep sea
divers. Emphasis has been placed by the
designers on factual realism. Everything
is true. The toy rocket planes are rocket
planes, the toy baby layettes are baby
layettes.
Maybe the children of fifty years back
had just as much fun. But it may be
doubted that parents enjoyed themselves
as much in 1899 as they do now with the
modern playthings bought for modern kids.
