RUG BINDING.

7FrOnl I. L, WdShlngtOn.J
To the reader who inquired about
binding a rug: I should like to
suggest that she obtain a free
pamphlet on Rug Repair" from the
Department of Agriculture.
In it she will find excellent in
structions for sewing on rug bind
ing. I have found this method to
be much more satisfactory than
using the iron-on tape.

TO COOK LIVER.

(Fron Mrs. E. H., W1Sh1ngton.)
To the lady who wanted to know
how to cook liver: We are very fond
of liver and as calf's liver Is beyond
reach in price, we use beef liver and
like it.
Wash and dry slices (not too thin
but about as thick as your little
finger), dredge with -four and put
in hot pan. It burns easily so use
plenty of grease, bacon if you have
1t. Turn and brown both sides then
turn gas down and let cook slowly.
When it is done (no red juice comes
odt when stuck with fork), add
about cup of hot water, cover and
let simmer 10 or IS minutes. This
tenders it.
Salt before adding water. This is
usually delicious with wonderful
gravy. However. lately the liver has
not been as good and no cooking
will overcome whatever is wrong.
Several friends who disliked liver
very much have started using 1t
themselves after eating it at our
home.

"THANATOPSIS."

From NJ. G. T., Dunn Loring.)
Several weeks ago some one re-
quested the poem 'Thanatopsis." AS
I have seen no reply am referring
her to the poems of William Cullen
Bryant which can be found in any
book store or dry goods stores book
department. AS the poem requested
Is too long for RICH, am giving the
most quoted verse, as follows:
So live that when thy summons comes to
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each snail
take
His chamber in the silent halls of death.
Thou go not as the quarry slave at night
Scourged TO his dungeon. but sustained
and soothed
By an unfalterins trust. approach thy
grave
Like one who draws the drapery Of his
couch
About him and lies down to pleasant

CONGRESS

Saturday, July 8, 1949

WASHINGTON, Up Congress
sional planners pondered today
over ways to cut government
costs, and how best a depression
might be blocked should one APP
pear.
Chairman Thomas D.-OklaD Of
Senate appropriations sub-com-
mittee, said $1,000, 100000 may be
clipped from the 5,900,000,000
military money bill passed by the
House.
Senator Dulles R.-N. W called
the administrations proposed ST.
13O,OOO,OOO program to rearm
Western Europe too big"
And a group of eight or more
Democratic Senators said they
will introduce a ready-made "anti-
depression" bill next week, right
in the wake of President Tru-
mans mid-year economic report
to Congress.
Although the "anti-depreSsion'
measure does not have the White
House stamp Of approval, some
supporters say it will, at least,
provide some specific ideas for
translating the forthcoming Presi-
Dental recommendation into &C
ton.
It would, among other things,
provide: Cd federal loans for in
dustrial expansion; (2) federal
plant expansion, if needed, for
private firms; 90 drafting of a
SIS, 100000 backlog of local
public works; "a loans of up to
$1,000 to help payless workers
move from distress areas" and
CD a $4,000, 100000 emergency re-
lief fund,
The savings in military costs,
which Senator Thomas said might
be made, include an item of $780,
100000 which is listed as having
White House approval.
In the House-passed military
appropriations bill it was diverted
to the air forces from the $780,
100000 the President had asked
for universal military training.
The House proposed that it be
used in maintaining a 58-group
air force.
Congress has taken no action on
military training.
Senator Dulles, sworn in Friday
as a successor to Democratic Sen
ator Robert F. Wagner, does not
now believe the $1,l30,000,000
proposed for the first year of the
European rearmament program, is
needed.

Robert Sinclair's directoral ap-
proach to this frenZied fiction Is
that it should be played to the hllt

all, there is this repressed heiress
who needs to associate with a vlrlle

ask than that this gent should be
an irresponsible type played by such

Power? Sinclair surely is no director
