This contest is quite in keeping
with the Capitol tradition. Incl
dentally, since that firm was built
on the development of "unknowns'

Margaret Whiting, Stan Kenton
and King" Cole are among those
who came to fame this way.
The firm feels the same way, it
says, about the untapped song
writing talent that exists. It be-
lieves that many people can write
songs that can compare favorably
with those heard today. This con-
test will give them hearing they
otherwise would have very little
chance of getting.
Imports from Cuba and Mexico
are difficult things to keep in

four months they've been carry

To those who have long grappled
with the problem of songsmith in
stincts, Capital Records offers
a solution. Today, July l, marks
the launching of a Nationwide
song writing contest designed to
bring to light the efforts of lyric
writer's who heretofore have had
no audience for their compositions.
The contest will run four months,
ending on October 81.
Prizes offered for the winning
lyrics will include songwriters' con-
tracts, cash advances of $1,000
against contract royalties and
Capitol recordings of the winning
entries.
The contest calls for an original
lyric to be written for any one or
more of the six original melodies
contained in a new Capitol album,
Songs Without Words" The
records in the album, which will
be available on both 78 rpm. and
As rpm. may be heard or pur-
chased at any store that handles
this company's records.
Johnny Mercer. Isham Jones,
Jay Livingston and Ray Evans,
Jimmy McHugh. Ray Noble and
Paul Weston have written the
original melodies for the contest
album, and, as the title implies,
all are without lyrics. The final
selection of each winning lyric
will be determined by a panel of
three musical experts, consisting
of the writer of the melody for
which the lyric was submitted as
we'll as Songwriters Mack Gordon
and Sammy Calm.
One prize winning lyric will be
selected for each Of the six tunes
in the album. Each of the six win
ners will be offered a song-Writer
contract with Ardmore Music Di-
vision Of Capitol Publications, Inc,
one of Capitol Records music
publishing firms, plus $1,000
advance against royalties accruing
under each contract, to be paid in
cash to each winner upon his or
her signing the pact. In addition,
the six winning songs will be re-
corded by Capitol artists.
Lyrics submitted will be judged

From Mrs. A. r. L., J.
WaShingtOn.I

We have travelled cross )un-
try with our four children many
times and have frequently taken
the playpen along as bed. We
usually put all luggage on Che
floor of the back of the car, build
ing it up to the level of the back
seat and then put the crib mat
tress on top. The children can
all play on top of this or take
maps when they need them. At
night. we would set up the play
pen and put the crib mattress in
tit will turn up somewhat at
the two ends but did very well
as an emergency crib. When the
children were quite small the
playpen was raised by placing it
on chairs-using at least three
straight chairs or we have placed
it on a bed or even on top OF two
or three Army foot lockers. Some
times, we have used a couple Of
large cofhforters folded to the
right size in place of the crib
mattress in the playpen. with
a rubber sheet and the other bed
ding over them.
To avoid having to remove all
the bedding each time we need
anything in a suitcase. we pack
one suitcase with sufficient
changes for all the family and
keep it in the trunk of the car
so that the others can be used
for part of the bed" in the back
seat.

MARKING SHEETS.
From p. Y, Alexandria J

For the lady who wanted sug-
gestions for marking sheets of
different widths. here is my
method: When I purchase new
sheets I Immediately embroider
the width on the under side of
the lower hem. using a different
color of thread for each size. Or
she could use a line of different
colors. pasting a color chart be-
side linen closet. Since most
threads are boil proof, I find they
retain their colors for years un-
der normal washing conditions.
I use one strand and very small
figures. I always get the long
length sheets.

READING HINTS;
TO SAVE MONEY?
From Mrs. r. N. L., Alexandria,
Some time ago one of our
membership write in suggesting
that we share our reading expe-
rience with others. want to
particularly recommend book by
Marguerite Harmon Bro, When
Children Ask" I borrowed it
from our church library and was
so pleased with it that I bought a
personal copy.
For ladies who are in an inter-
esting condition, may I recon-
mend Modelling for Motherhood y
which is a light-hearted book
based on sound common sense. l
borrowed this book from the Fair
fax County Bookmobile and do
not remember the name OF the
authors. Cleverly illustrated, too.
If you are past the apparent
stage, you'll still get many retro
spective chuckle from it.
A bit of sheer froth is "The
Husband Who Ran Away" by
Hildegarde Dolson. 1t Is de-
lightful.
May I put in a plug for the
aforementioned Fairfax County
Bookmobile? They make two stops
in our neighborhood once a
month, and it's really an exciting
time when the bookmobile comes
around. They carry a wide selec-
ton of books, and the attendant
librarian is most helpful and will
ing to get books from the county
library which you specifically re-
quest. They also carry children's
books, and yGl should see the
small fry making important" Sc
lections. It's nice that they get the
library habit at an early age. We
live in a relatively isolated COM
munity. and since most Of us are
kept at home most of the time
with small children, the bookmo-
bile is a real boon. 1 can't praise
it too highly.
Now for a starter on a discus
sion question. How do you save
money? The other day one Of my
friends told me that she and her
husband always put aside any coin
that was minted the year that
they were married-1941. Then
when their anniversary comes
along. they put the accumulated
money into sterling silver in their
pattern. I thought it was a clever
way to save money. so I've started
collecting coins with a 1942-our
marriage year-date. Today, I got
three 1912 quarters in change. 1t
broke my budget. but it swelled
the piggy bank!

TRAVELLING WITH BABY.


From Mrs. M. S. H., Washington.J
This useful bit of information l
learned from an English gov
erness who had taken children
all over Europe: Put a webbing
safety strap on your child. To
the ends that ordinarily fasten
to the carriage tie webbing or
double strips of strong material
Il use sheets cut and stitched)
sufficient to pass under the mat
tress and tie. Baby is free to
turn and roll, but cannot roll off.
We crossed the continent twice
with our 14-month-old daughter
in an upper berth. l carried a
rubber sheet which I used under
the Pullman sheet and also in
hotels where we stopped. The
strap I used is a loop-type cost
ing 81. You could make such a
strap yourself. too.
