floor. Sometimes the abdominal
muscles have become so weak
that very easy exercises must be
the starters.
For instance, lie on the floor
on your back with your legs
straight and your arms resting on
the floor at your sides. Bend both
knees up close to the abdomen.
Place both feet on the floor and
slide them back to place as you
straighten your knees. After do
ing this for a week or so, you can
return your legs to the floor with
out sliding. The next step in this
exercise would be to bend the
knees close to the abdomen,
straighten the legs upward toward
the ceiling and slowly lower the
legs to the floor. keeping the
knees straight. This last step is
to difficult for many beginners.
If you would like to have my
tested exercises, which will take
an inch or so from your waistline
in a few weeks time, send a

ANSWER TO QUERY.

(From H. L. w., Washington.)
To r. w. D.: In response to
your recent inquiry concerning
residents of the District who went
South in 1861-65. I do the un-
necessary of mentioning perhaps
the most illustrious of these
Robetr Ould 1820-8D. He was a
native of Georgetown and Al years
old at the outbreak of the war.
In 1859 Ould was assistant
United States attorney for the
District. In February of that year
occurred Washington's (and prob
ably the country's) most sensa-
tional murder.
Daniel Sickles, Representative
from New York and a close friend
of President Buchanan, shot and
killed Philip Barton Key on La
fayette Square, or rather in Madi-
son place. Key was United States
attorney for the District and son
OF Francis Scott Key, author of
the Star Spangled Banner" Mrs.
Sickles had confessed to a liaison
with Mr.. Key. which was the rea-
son for Sickles' act.
President Buchanan appointed
Robert Ould to his dead chiefs
place as United States attorney
and in that capacity Ould prose-
cuted Sickles for the murder of
Key, in the first of the great
nationally publicized murder trials.
Public sentiment being all for the
cuckold, Sickles was acquitted.
When the war began, Ould. who
was brigadier general in the WASH
ington Light Infantry Militia or
ganization cBattles and Leaders
of the Civil War. I, 12," the Gen.
tury Co., N. Y. 1880, resigned and
went South. For a short while
he was Assistant Secretary of War
of the Confederate States, but dur
ing most of the war, as a colonel,
he was in charge of the Confed-
eracy of the exchange of prisoners
in the East. Henry Kyd Douglas,

Of Reviews Co., N. Y, 1912. The
latter work contains a good photo
graphic portrait Of Col. Ould.
In his notes to Douglas, Rode
with Stonewall, Prof. Fletcher M.
Green says that after the War
Robert Ould was tried for treason
and was acquitted. Gen. Sickles
pushed the case against Ould in
revenge for Ould's prosecution of
the charge of murder against
Sickles for the killing of Philip
Barton Key in 1889" Page 382..
While this would have been in
keeping with Sickles' character, I
have never been able to verify
that Ould was tried for treason,
and when ! wrote to Prof. Green
asking what he based the state
ment on, he replied in effect that
he had forgotten.
A few years ago. there ran SER

you will have to diet also. but
many women who have the cor

discover little rolls about the

The following exercise will
stretch the fat, firm lax muscles

a long step to the left with your
left foot. Bend the left knee as
you bend the trunk to the left

raise the trunk.
Be sure to step straight to the

trying to touch the right hand
to the floor. Raise trunk and
continue, alternating left and
right.
You will look 10 years younger
if you slim down through the
middle section of your silhou-
cite. You will feel younger, too.
Nothing gives a woman such a
sense Of youthfulness and 1.-the

you are obese.

SOUR CREAM PEACH PIE
From Mrs. F. J. H., CheUerly.) }

SOUR CREAM PEACH P1E
From Mrs. F. J. H., CheDerly.)
Inquiry was made concerning
recent recipe for peach pie which
I had submitted. Mrs. A. M. of
Washington mentioned the OBJ
jectionable appearance of the pie
because the sour cream had
curdled. I had one other inquiry
about the same thing. I am sorry
that I am unable to state def
nitely what the trouble might have
been in these cases. never having
had the experience when I have
made it. However, l do believe
that probably Mrs. A. M. is cor
rect in assuming that it was
caused by the sour cream not being
at room temperature before using.
One of the first things impressed
on us in a domestic science class
was that all ingredients of any
recipe should be at room tempera-
ture before combining.
However, I did have this thought
and mention it here for what it
may be worth. One should be
certain that the peaches are COM
pletely ripe.

CALIFORNIA TRIP.
From Mrs. J. r. A., Washington.)
have a food suggestion for
Mrs. D. j. A. who is travelling by
car to California.
She will find it helpful if she
will buy a package of aluminium
foil and makes it a point to get
the little booklet given away
where the foil is sold.
With this equipment and a fire
she can prepare meat with onion
and even a piece of potato and
have no dirty dishes afterWard.
My husband and I did this, buying
meat patties already made up and
it worked handsomely.
Her three year old, I might add
will probably think this is great
fun, for my little boy. the same
age, considers it rare treat to
be served up food in an aluminium
dish indoors or out. OF course.
when camping the food may be
eaten in the same aluminium
packet in which the food was
cooked. making an additional
convenience.
Good luck to her in Southern
California. To date. it is my
favorite climate in the U. S.

your problem. Your child needs
to be with other children and
some effort should be made to put
her in a nursery school or make

Motorists Flock
To Grand Strand
For Beach Driving

Official estimates that more
than 1000 cars visited the sand
flats of the famous Grand Strand
this past weekend. The motorists
were attracted by the official
opening of this spacious beach
to automobile traffic on the day
following Labor Day.
On Saturday and Sunday,
there was continuous caravan
of cruising cars seen on the 400
foot wide smooth strand that
stretches between Windy Hill
Beach and Cherry Grove Beach,
just a few miles south of the
North Carolina line.
The Grand Strand is closed,
during the summer bathing sea-
son to automobile traffic by act
of legislature, and it's formal
opening September 5th was the
cue for thousands of beach hun
cry motorists to drive down for
a picnic or car-eruise by the sea.
The strand is patrolled by State
Highway Police, whose presence
discourage drivers with dare
devil inclinations to make a
Speedwty of the beach.

people were a courageous, christ
ian, friendly people who sought
education and freedom above the
other material things of life. A
missionary among the Korean
people for 33 years, from 1907 to
1910. DR.. Stokes said that the
North Koreans and the South
Koreans were a friendly, self
sacrificing people, which proba-
bly, accounted for them being
good soldiers.
DR. Stokes, who was visibly
moved, said he loved the Koreans
and was sorry that they had
to suffer. He emphasized that
he thought that the United
States acted wisely in stepping in
the Korean fight, and pointed
out that he hoped we would not

would push on to the Manchur-

Figures for the 1949-50 school
year, recently compiled by the
state department of education
and analysed by the statistical
department of South Carolina
Education Association, show that
the peak enrolment of 488, 748
set in 1888 has been passed for
the first time. The figures also
show that the gains have been
principally in secondary schools
since the elementary enrolment
for both whites and Negroes is
below previous high marks.
There have been many fluctu-
atoms in elementary totals but
those for secondary have gener-
ally continued climbs started
more than a generation ago.
The figures indicate that South
Carolina, unless it does some.
thing Immediately about made
quate school housing, faces ire
mendous problems in the i'm
mediate future. With students re-
naming in school for the second
airy grades and with the element
ary enrolment moving upward
from the record lows of the
years Immediately following the
war, there is every prospect of
successive record-breaking stu
dent bodies in the next few years.
The high school grades have
more pupils than ever before,
showing a total of 114,102 with
both white and Negro enroll
ment at peaks. Since this trend
has been in progress for six
years, there is every indication
that high school enrolment will
continue upward for much of the
next decade.
Total white enrolment is now
the highest in history with 271,-
875 children in school. Negro en-
rollment of 1925 for the 1949-
so school year remains below the
234,977 figure set in 1925. The
previous high for total white en-
rollment was 266,882 in 1889.

back consumer spending by telling
YOU how much down payment
to make on goods you buy.
By the time Congress got
through with the Presidents re;
quest, the legislators had voted
additional authority for the Presi-
dent to set ceilings on all prices
and wages and to ration the things
YOU buy in stores - even though
Mr. Truman had said he didn't
want this power at the time.
The first big impetus to include
Notwithstanding in the con-
trolls legislation came from the
Republicans. Michigan's COP
Representative Jesse Woleott de-
clared if the President allocated
industrial goods, price and wage
control would be needed in sixty
DAYS. Just as we'll give him the
authority now, Nh Wolcott ar
eued. Most of his Republican col
leagues went along with this line
Of talk.
But politics kicks around, even
in DAYS of crisis. If Mr.. Truman
had Iage-price control power and
didn't use it, high prices might
turn some November votes away
from the Democrats.
Republicans, bordering over
their Dutch Masters, why Mr..
Truman didn't ask for emergency
powers when an emergency exists.
The answer could be this: Mr..
Truman knew he wouldn't get the
power. if he asked for it; Congress
is stubborn that way. So he just
sat back and let the Congressman
vote it for him anyhow! If such
was the Presidents thinking, then
it looks as if child psychology Is
the best way to handle the Con-
gress.
