CACTUS?
HINT;
DYEING BLOUSE?

From Mrs. E. L. F., ArlingtonJ
have seen so much advice on
the growing of African violets in
this column that I'm wondering II
some of the readers haven't also
had experience with various kinds
of cactus. I'm particularly inter-
ested in getting Christmas cactus
to prosper and bloom, but also have
some of the barrel types, covered
with spines. How often should
these plants be watered, what tenn
perature room should they be kept
in, what size container Gin proper
ton to the size of plant should
be used, how often should they be
repotted, and what is the best type
of soil to use?
Some readers may be interested
to know that after the collars and
sleeves of their husbands shirts
have worn out, the rest of the shirt
(Which usually wears out more slow
ly) can be made into very nice
handkerchiefs and will wear for a
surprising length of time.
Has any one found a method OF
dyeing cotton blouses with the bib
tyne front so that the bib is left
white without being unsewed from
the rest of the blouse before dip
ping into the dye?

cuINA REPAIRING,

From Mrs. H. M. G., Alexandria,
There is shop on Wisconsin
avenue NV. which does very fine
and unusual china repairing. The
Japanese gentleman who does the
work guarantees the articles he re-
pairs. They can be used, washed
and dried just like the original
piece.

SPANISH SAFFRON.

From Mrs. G. L. S., WaShington.)
Just recently I found some Span
tsh saffron at the store on Calvert
street at Connecticut avenue NV.
You might try there.
Iwish you would contact me some
time and tell me how you use SAT-
from. There is so little printed IN
formation regarding it and so few
people know Of it.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES:

CLEANING GOLD LEAF!
from Mrs. F. A. M, Cherry Chase.
Mrs. L. E. r. of Alexandria might
have luck in Kidding her pantry
of tiny ants if she is careful to
keep starchy products apart, rather
than side by side. 1t is also helpful
to scald the containers whenever
they are found. Keeping corn meal,
macaroni and products of that type
in screw-top coffee jars discour-
ages them also.
Mrs. A. D. B. of Rockville might
try repairing her sugar bowl with
airplane glue. The only other alter
native would be to take 1t to one
of the china repair shop listed IN
the telephone directory.
Can any one tell me how to clean
xolf-leaf frames? I have lost the
only instructions I ever had.

ENGLISH IVY?

From Mrs. C. H., Washington
I would like to cover my small
front yard, 10 by 10 feet, with Eng
lish ivy to avoid having any grass to
NOV. If any of you readers could
spare enough runners to get my
ward started I would certainly ap..
preciate it,. Is this the time OF
year to start them?

ANT PROBLEM;
GOLD LEAF.

from Mrs. J. F. A., CheUy Chase.)
In reply to the lady with the
problem of ants getting into the
breadbox l suggest that she pur-
chase an ant trap from any hard
ware store. There are two kinds
of ants, the grease eaters and the
sweet eaters. She apparently has
the grease eaters and should ask
for the bait which attracts them.
There will be directions on the trap
for its use. This is the cleaneSt,
surest and easiest way of getting
rid of ants. They carry the bait to
their nests and the whole colony
Is wiped out.
I have not tried this, but the fol-
lowing method for applying gold
leaf to frames and mirrors is taken
from a book I have on the subject
of framing Size the raw wood,
after smoothing, with shellac or
glue size. Apply two coats OF white
gesso, allowing each coat to dry
thoroughly. Smooth with sandpa :
per, then apply one coat OF red
clay paint. Smooth with steel wool
and apply gold leaf. The red clay
and gesso can be purchased at art
supply stores. This prepared gesSo
is easy to use, just add water.
believe you could use Venetian Red
oil paint mix with Japan dryer for
the red coat if the clay is unob-
tainable.
The eggshell water on African
yiolets worked for me also!

DEEP FREEZE?

from Mrs. J. A. A., Woodbridge

Do these have to be precooked!
What kind of vegetables are best?

COMMENT.
from Mrs. E. M, WaShington.J
If Mrs. J. H. S., Mount Rainier,
can cook for two on SOS a month
she is to be congratulated. Our bill
seldom fails to exceed 500, but we
do have considerable company and
like imported cheeses, fancy stuffed
olives, etc. In November it was
about $50, including Thanksgiving
turkey, of course, and ingredients
for fruit cakes. We could and should
get by on much less, but fresh fruits
and vegetables seem to take as much
of the food money as does meat.
We never throw out anything and
practically never buy steak, but even
fish. that used to be cheap eating,
is now comparably expensive. Then,
I like to bake, and give away cakes
and other desserts when we are
overstocked.

MOLDY FLOWER POT.

(Fron, Miss E. L. Y, Washington
have heard experienced growers
say that moldy pots indicate healthy
plants. But to hide the mold you
can cover the pots with the alum
mum foil that is available in some
drug stores and in grocery stores
It makes an attractive covering and
also prevents the rapid evaporation

He told me what had happened He was with
girl who was champion swimmer, and when
she suggested that they swim across the lake
half mile - he was ashamed to admit that
he was afraid to attempt it. He was a crack
athlete in other fields but mediocre swimmer.
They started out, but by the time they reached
the middle of the lake Jim was certain he was
done for. He was foundering, panicky and COM
pletely exhausted. His pride kept him going to
the last BREATH then he gasped to the girl that he
could never make it; he could go no further
But the girl, unruff1ed. gave him just two
words of advice.
And followed them," Jim said I've fol-
lowed them ever since - except that I've learned
to apply them before I'm completely exhausted
1t works spiritually as we'll as physically And it
was 50 simple! All she did was smile at me and
say, Float, Jim"

SECOND WIND
by Robert OrmOnd Case
Author of "The Empire Builder''

MY YOUNGER brother, Jim has achieved bust
1Vl ness success. high standing in his COM
munty, splendid family and the mature age of
forty-six without line of worry on his face.
His unruff1ed serenity is the more noticeable
because of the daily pressures and enormously
harassing details connected with his official posi-
ton. Yet the busiest day finds him taking few
minutes out to relax over coffee, in conversa-
ton, sometimes merely leaning back in his chair
and looking out over the city. The rougher the
going, the more complete his relaxation.
Knowing this was not his boyhood tempera-
ment, asked him one day what magic formula
had raised him spiritually above the stress of
workaday affairs.
He smiled in alf-embarrassed way. Two
words, he said. They were spoken to me in
the middle of lake, at mountain resort, when
was nineteen years old"

Tells Why he Slew II

CHICAGO -- (ANP) - Chicago's
toughest and most-feared Negro cop
Detective sylvester "TwoGun Pete"
Washington, reveals his motives
and ideas on law enforcement in a
January Ebony article entitled
why l Killed IL Men,"
Credited with "cleaing up" two of
Chicagos worst districts, Detective
Washington had made over 10000
arrests in his l6 years on the force
He is reputed to have made the lar
gest single-handed raids and most
arrests of any local police officer.
Officers of the 5th District Police
Station say that in one raid he cap
tured so many miscreants that he
had to line them up in column of
two's and march them to the sta
tion-house military style.
On another occasion, it is reputed
that so many persons were arrest
ed by him in a raid that squad car
and patrol wagons summoned could
not hold them, SO Washington COM
Wandered a streetcar in which to
drive his prisoners to the station
house.

NEGROES APPEAR
ON STAGE OF OAR
HALL; NO
REVOLUTION!

WASHINGTON - (ANP)-With-
out either fanfare or lambasting
Negro performers have again APP
peared on the stage of Constitution
hall, the national auditorium of the
straight-laced Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Charles Tilghman and Vincent
Dean appeared with the male chorus
of Catholic university of America
recently during a glee club jambo-
rec sponsored by the National Press
club The third is Miss Dolores Hol-

al group. All three are students at
the university.
The audience as we'll as the local
newspapers and radio stations treat.
ed the event as merely another show
with no emphasis o nthe Negroes
in the group or the accompanist.
In the past the OARS have re-
ceived headline publicity over their
refusal to allow famous Negro art
lists, such as Marion Anderson and
Hazel Scott to perform in concert
at the hall. However, despite its
highly heralded jim crow policies in
the hall, the OAR group did not al
low Negroes in the audience.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, then
Americas First Lady, resigned from
the organization because of the Ma
rion Anderson incident. This brought
into open Juror the OAR group is
policy on it's democratic,named hall
and gradually the organization has
changed its Jim crow policy. Negro
individual artists are still barred,
but a few Negroes have been allow
ed on the stage to participate in
group presentations.
Three years ago the static group
lie down its hair and permitted the
choir of Tuskegee institute to con-
duct a concert in the hall. The
hoir raised approximately $4,000
for the school.

Rise In Indian
Population In u. S.
Reported

WASHINGTON - amp - Ac-
cording to Indian Bureau officials
here last week, the population of
the Indians in the United States is
on the increase - an increase aver
aging about one percent a year.
Estimating in round figures. the
bureau says there are about $4,000
Indians on tribal rolls, which COM
pares to a low of less than 100000
in 1880 and $4,000 at the last Off
cial check in 1886. This estimate
does not include the thousands of
persons of less than quarter Indian
blood who are not on tribal rolls.
Descendants of Indians are in
every state, but the government
maintains Indian agencies in only
81 states.
OF the 200 tribes in the nation,
80 of them are in oklahoma, which
also has the largest Indian popula-
ton of any state. 1t has about 120,-
