Wonnen's Clubs
World Cooperation Tour Included
In Projects Planned by Federation
MRS. POST.

lege Park. Md. president Of the
Maryland State Federation, and
Mrs. William Henry Beardsley
former legislation chairman of
Vermont.
The first tour OF its kind for
federation club members since be-
fore the war, the trip also will be
Mrs. Houghton's first to Europe.
Taking up other federation
plans, Mrs. Houghton said yester-
day that it's activity in the field
of radio will be determined after
conferences in New York this
summer with various broadcasting
companies. Clubwomen have been
writing in that they would like
something different in the way of
morning radio programs, she de-
clared. And several broadcasters
have approached the organization
in the interest of developing a
federation radio program.
The suggested business insti-
tutes" for women are expected to
be held in cooperation with such
groups as bankers and insurance
companies. They will be under the
direction of Mrs. Ambrose Diehl
OF California, who. yesterday ac-
cepted a newly created post which
probably will be called director
of business development"
On the subject of a proposed
program for women in their later
years, Mrs. Houghton pointed out
that the average life span has
been extended to 81 years and
that this has created the need for
adjustments. The subject will be
taken up in a special division
which originally was to be called
the Living Later Years Division. :"
But we have decided to call it
the CHRONOLOGY Division" Mrs.
Houghton declared. I'VE expect to
get a lot of laughs out of using
that term"
AS for the proposed renovation
OF federation headquarters, Mrs
Houghton predicted the work
would be completed by fall. The
quarters for the federation's pres
ident will be retained. She. her
self, however, expects to take an
apartment here in the fall. so
that her husband, a banker, can
be with her here during her two
year term of office.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: You
say that the breakfast hour is the
most dangerous hour Of all for the
wife and the one when she most
needs to watch her step. What is
the dangerous hour for the hus-
band if he wants to keep his wife
in love with him and glad she
married him?
BRDEGROOM-TO-BE.
Answer: Well, son, the breakfast
hour is just as perilous for the
husband as it is for the wife, be-
cause the picture he leaves Of him.
self in his wife's mind is the one
she is going to carry with her all
day.
You see, the trouble with do
mestic work is that it doesn't use
more than one lobe of a woman's
brain and that leaves her all the
balance to think with. So whether
she goes singing about her dish
washing and sweeping and clean
ing and mending. ETC., etc. and
thinking what darling hubby is
or whether she is disgruntled and
grouchy and spends the day pick

Food for Thought
Mary T. Davenport
Nutrition COnsultant
Delaware State Board Of Health
SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE

The Nutrition Service keeps a
record of current food prices. AS
meat prices soar, food budgets are
revised and some changes in food
buying practices are advocated.
Consumers often come to us with
the problem of how to divide the
food dollar so that their families
are well fed We find countless peO-
pie who continue with the food buy
ing practices they used when meat
prices were more reasonable. These
people must cut financial corners
elsewhere.
The first fault lies in the home
makers limited knowledge of meat.
Steaks, and particularly round
steak, and chops head the list of
cuts demanded by American home
makers. This results in a great
deal of the animal carcass falling
into the class for which there is
little demand.
This column would find it impOs-
sible to change marketing practices
in meat, but we can offer a way to
keep your family well fed and re-
duce prices somewhat.
We have always been in favor Of
adequate protein and recognize
that One-half of this should come
from animal sources. But animal
sources are not, meat alone. Milk,
cheese, fish, and eggs are excellent
sources of animal protein at less
cost than meat Milk and vegetable
prOteins such as dried beans, peas,
and peanut butter may we'll make
up the protein allowance at break
fast and lunch. Many families will
enjoy Welsh rabbit, cheese sOuffle,
or macarOni and cheese for dinner
Some fish may be purchased more
economically than meat.
These are the contributions of
some popular protein foods listed
in average serving:
Cheese. 2 o., 1870 grams.
Eggs. /, 63 grams.
Milk, whole, or, 81 grams.
Milk, swimmed, o., 50 grams
Peanut butter, a cup a II, 200
grams.
Haddock, 1 average serving, 17.2
grams.
Round steak, "A ID, 22.1 grams.
Dried beans cooked, l cup, 1876
grams,
/ Dried peas cooked, Y cup, 1S.1
grams.
The protein allowance for men is
20 grams, for women go grams.
The amounts for children vary from
40 grams at one to three years to
100 grams for boys sixteen to
/ twenty. From this you may deter
mine the protein adequacy of your
family's meals.

ventiOn. We believe that Senator
Smith will give our convention the
vital stimulation and inspiration
that will send our party on to vic

Because of the national reputa-
tion of Senator Smith, it is ex-
pected that the Capitol Theatre in
Dover, the traditional convention
hall of the Republican Party, will
be filled to OverflOwing. Arrange
ments are being made with Della
ware radio stations to broadcast
the keynote address.
Margaret Chase Smith made her
self, in comparatively short time,
one of the best-knOwn political fig
ures in the nation. She first went
to the House of Representatives in
1910, succeeding to the seat for
merly held by her husband, who
died before her election.
She was the first woman Repub-
lican elected to the Senate. She also
was the first woman to win election
as a senator without having served
first as a senator by appointment.
She was elected to the House
twice in 1910 and reelected in 1912
1914, and 1916. In 1948, Mrs. Smith
made her bid for the Senate, de-
feating in the Republican primary
such political veterans as Horace
Hildreth and Sumner Sewall, both
former governors.
Early this year, the Republican
National Committee adopted most

Fast Action Needed
For Spots And Stains

Georgetown, Del.-SpOt removal
is easy when you keep it under
control. The sooner you remove
the spot, the easier, quicker, and
more successful the result will be,
points out Miss Maybelle Lyon,
home demonstration agent in Sus-
sex County.
Before pressing or washing a
garment, examine it for spots. Dry
stains or those which have been set
by laundering may be difficult to
remove. Hot water will set stains,
such as blood. meat juice, or egg;
sOapsuds will set others like tea,
coffee, or fruit stains.
How you remove the stain de-
pends on the type of stain, the col
or and kind of fabric, and whether
or not the garment is washable,
says Miss LigOn. There are three
general classes of stain remOvers: ::
solvents, absOrbents and bleaches.
Solvents, such as benzene or tet-
rachlOride, are used to dissolve
grease, lipstick or chewing gum.
Lay sOiled spot over a pad of folded
cloth; sponge with a cloth dampen-
ed in solvent and work from out
side to center of spot.
Absorbents take up stains like
blOtters and don't leave rings.
Work absorbent Fuller's earth or
talcum powder, into stain with fin
gers, brushing it off as it becomes
cOlOred. Repeat until stain is re-
moved.
Bleaches should be used only
when the nOn-gTeasy stain won't
respond to the mildest treatment
first. Stretch stained material over
a bowl of steaming water: mOisten
stained part with water. then drop
chemical on stain with medicine

rinse thoroughly. Don't allow anv

Navy Veteran of Sinking Saves
3 After Boot Burns in Putuxent

A District Navy veteran helped
keep three persons afloat nearly
four hours in the Patuxent River
at Benedict, Md, yesterday until
boat took them to shore.
The rescuer was Thomas
Bridges, 81. of 305 Webster street
NV, who works for the Otis
Elevator Co. Mr.. Bridges gave
his wife this account:
Shortly after midnight. he saw
two women and a man Jump into
the river when their boat caught
fire. Fishing from a rowboat
about 40 feet away, he tossed
a cushion life preserver to one
of the women and dived to help
the other. The man was staying
af1oat.
The women, apparently unable
to swim, became hysterical. One
of them fought Mr.. Bridges, drag
ing him under the water until
he had to strike her. He finally
got both women to cling to the
small preserver.
He and the other man then took
