QUERIES?
HINT; POMANDERS.

tFrom Mrs. MEG. Washinoton.)
I would greatly appreciate ad-
vice on cleaning beaver fur coat
collar and beaver trimming on a
hat. Can 1t be done at home?
Also does any one know a poem
ending:
"On Christmas Day
If you want to be happy
Give something away"
Also a fool proof recipe for
cooked fondant for stuffing dates.
Also Christmas candy recipes in
cluding striped candy canes.
A hint: Mince pie tarts or turn
overs may be made in qantity
ahead Of time and kept in covered
crock then reheated when used.
The package mince meat is best
for these and not too moist.
Making Pomanders: Use small
apples and/or small oranges, stick
them as full of whole cloves as
they will hold. Dust with Gin
namon. Wrapped in colored Gel
lophane and tied with a ribbon
they make wonderful gifts. They
will dry out hard as a nut and
retain their spicy fragrance long
time. Hang m closets or place
IN bureau drawers-much nicer
than moth balls.

DAVIS GIVES !. WILLIAMS
 HARD TIME

SEATTLE, Feb. 28-Rl-Light- weight Champion Ike Williams bi- cycled his way through most of 10 rounds last night, emerging from the non-title fracas with split decision over John L. Davis of Oak land.
 Williams weighed 143, Davis 13719
 The titleholder picked up his ad- vantage by his boxing skill, an edu- cated left jab picking off the crouching Davis frequently.
 Most of the crowd of 4,200 fans agreed with Referee Jimmy Wilson that Davis aggressiveness had earned him the decision, but the two judges thought otherwise.
 The Oakland youngster swarmed all over Williams in the final round and rocked him with straight lefts and rights.
 Tn preliminary battles, Indian Dick Wolfe, 146, Portland, and Bu- ford Ransom, 148, Seattle, drew in eight rounds; Jackie Turner, 122, Vancouver, B.C., decisioned Tommy Umeda, 121, Seattle. 6.

 FOR GREAT
 CAGE GAMES
By WILL GRIMSLEY

NEW YORK, Feb. 28-lR-Three teams-Bradley, Kentucky and Du- quesne-may shoot for a grand slam by playing in both the Na- tional Invitation and NCAA Bas- ketball tournaments.
 The three of them, through spokesmen. indicated today they would be receptive to double bids, if forthcoming.
 At the same time as Bushnell, who occupies an important role in both tournaments, said there would be no official objection
 ''The two meets aren't in compe- tition with one another but work in complete harmony" he said.
 Bradley, the nations No. team, and Duquesne, ranked fifth,s along with St. Johns of Brooklyn, were tapped yesterday, to play in the In- vitation, opening at Madison Square Garden March II.
 Bradley deIeated IulSa, 5t-5o, last night to clinch the Missouri Valley Conference title.
 Holy Cross, which led the Asso- ciated Press poll for weeks before dropping to second, then third, already has accepted bid to the NCAA and reports it is not in- terested in the Invitation. The Cru- saders are unbeaten in 24 games.
 Ohio State closed out its regular campaign last night by beating Michigan, 69-58. It was the Buck eyes 11th victory in the Big Ten against one defeat.
 Wisconsin clinched second in the standings by licking Northwestern, 67-53, while Indiana topped Illinois, 80-66.
 Kansas State stayed in the Big Seven Conference title race by humbling Colorado. 74-49. In other games, Hardin-S Simmons trounced Arizona, 57-53, and New York Uni versity edged Notre Dage, 6653.
