WHITE FRUIT CAKE?
SQUEAKY FLOORS?

From Mrs. J.D.O'C., HyattSUille.) J
In reply to the request about
squeaking floors. we rented this
house and the floors squeaked so
badly until we were afraid to walk
on them for fear of disturbing the
baby. A friend told us to get a
waxer, which we did, and put two
coats of paste wax on with it, and
since then, they haven't squeaked
at all. We rented the waxer from
a hardware store.
Will some one please send in a
white fruit cake recipe? One that
has all the fruits and nuts like
the dark ones. All my recipes omit
almost all the fruits, using mostly
nuts and they aren't at all tasty,
also I would like to know what ]
do wrong to make all the fruits
and nuts settle to the bottom. ]
stick strictly to the recipe, yet they
fail.

BOWLING.

BOWLING.
From Mrs. r. w. B.. Alerandria.)
For Mrs. T. j. H., of Silver
Spring, who asked about bowling,
I am assuming Mrs. T. J. H. is
interested in ten pin bowling. The
Washington. D. c., Woman's Bowl
ing Association, which is affiliated
with the Women's International
Bowling Congress, has one league
of women bowlers and a number
of mixed leagues, bowling on the
only two sanctioned alleys in this
area, Ten Pins. Inc. on King
street in Alexandria and the
Rosslyn Bowling Alley in Rosslyn.
Va
We are always in need of sub
stituteS for these leagues. and we
frequently are able to place new
bowlers in permanent positions on
teams. Should there be enough
women interested we will be more
than happy to organize a new
womans league.

Problem Of
GirIish Boy
By Angelo Potri

In every boy there is some girl
ishness, some feminine quality; in
every girl there Is some masculine
quality which, being quite as
nature intended, is nothing to be
worried about. Some girls love
boys games. initiate their ways
and language as we'll as their
manners. Some boys do the same
by the girls, dressing up in their
clothes, playing their games, pre-
| ferring their company to that of
boys.
Usually all this fades into a
shade of character not at all i'm
portant nor noticeable in their
maturity. Some time during
adolescence the boy becomes all
boy, the girl, all girl, to all prac-
tical purposes. Sometimes this
wholesome change does not take
place and then there is trouble
because society looks askance at
masculine girls and feminine boys
Parents begin looking for some
way of changing the children's
ways but rarely find it.
When a small boy insists upon
being girlish in his choice of
clothes, games and companions it
is wise to take him to children's
specialist and have him thorough
ly examined to learn what, if any
thing, is wrong with him and
what. if anything, can be done
about it. Then, following the ad-
vice of the specialist, he can be
helped to adjust himself better.
Some boys carry their feminine
tendencies along into maturity
and do very we'll indeed. One I
knew from childhood became a
well-known dressmaker famous
for his line and color in fashion,
ing women's dresses. In his child
hood he would have nothing to
do with boys but was most happy
in the company of girls, sharing
their tastes and activities. He
never displayed anything that
might indicate abnormality in
sex.
Such a condition troubles par

COMMENTS.
Iron, Mrs. G.A.F., Falls Church0
AS our 4-year-old daughter Is
the only child, we try in various
ways to teach her to share with
others. For Christmas, we are
making scrapbooks which she has
been told we would give to per-
haps less fortunate or i'll children
I understand the Children's Hospi-
tai receives them gladly, but as !
also know there are various group
organizations who send them
there, would appreciate knowing
other homes or hospitals who
would be able to use same.
Due to her young age, a per-
sonal giving to few tots would
mean much to her and help her
to understand better the mean
ing of her gifts. Perhaps some
of you know of individuals who
could have their Christmas made
a bit happier and are confined in
the Washington area. RICH has
my address.
1t would no doubt be appreci-
ated by others if this were an
sWered through the paper as
friends of mine have wondered, as
I, the advisability of purchasing a
slate blackboard? The dust from
the cloth can be quite nuisance,
I understand, and also not too
healthy to inhale. Have any of
you purchased a white board on
which crayon type stick is used
and the board wiped off with a
damp cloth? I would be inter-
ested in a hanging board approx
mately 3 feet by 3 feet. Where
could I find one?
Incidentally, have any of you
flower gardeners found the hardy
aster to be a nuisance plant? We
enjoyed the small purple flowers
for about two months, but did
notice it was loaded with bees
morning to night, certainly a
hazard to children. An article
recently mentioned it unfavor-
ably but gave no reason. In what
other way might it be an unde-
sirable perennial?
Here is a household hint which
may help some of you. If your
porcelain sink takes on brown
ish appearance in spite of your
regular cleanings, sprinkle a
cleaner Il prefer the one begin
ming with B and ending in o.
over the dampened surface and
let sit for several hours. Then
tcour and rinse as usual and you

SWEET POTATO PIE?

(From Mrs. J. H. K, Washington.)
Will some of you good Southern
ladies give me a recipe for sweet
potato pie? Are the potatoes to
be mashed and diluted to the con-
sistency of canned pumpkin, or
should they be used as is? This
recipe isn't given in any of my
cookbooks and I would appreciate
having it very much.

FIELD COMMITTEE
SUFFERS STAFF cut
AS BUDGET SLICED

Alaska will soon be producing
some more of her own building ma
terials, according to Kenneth j.
Kadow. chairman of the Alaska
Field Committee of the Department
of the Interior. who returned re-
Gently from the regular tri-monthly
meeting of that group in Palmer.
Kadow reported a substantial in
terest to his committee from private
investors who have responded to the
coordinated efforts of government
and private contractors to deter
mine the potential in brick, cement,
tile. lumber and related building
materials produced within the
Territory.
Already. according to the COM
mittee head, definite steps are in
the making for the establishment OF
plant in the rail belt" producing
zenolite insulation, brick, and
haydite aggregate material used in
cemenD in addition to a second
bulk cement plant planned for Sew
ard. The latter, in the opinion OF
the Interior Department committee,
will assure healthy competition for
the first Alaskan bulk cement plant
already in operation in Anchorage.
The agenda for this regularly
scheduled Field Committee meet
ing. held in various Alaskan cities
every three months, was heavier
than any previous meet. In addition
to regular department problems as
represented by the heads of the
many agencies of that executive
branch, initial efforts were made at
this Palmer meeting to extend
helping hand to the Dept. of Agri-
culture in its hard pressed efforts
to assist Alaskan farmers and po-
tential settlers interested in tilling
northern soil, in the financing, |
planning and settlement problems
to Alaskan agriculture.
In addition to the regular mem
bers of the Committee, representa- |
tives of the Federal Department Of
and the Territorial De-
partment Of Agriculture were pre-
sent.
The chairman reports that this
collected group recognized certain
needs which a joint effort could !
provide. Such needs as are liberal |
financing for Alaskan farming, and
coordinated planning between the |
two departments on settlement
legislation. Toward that end a joint |
committee with representatives
from Federal, Territorial and local
groups was appointed to discuss and
formulate specific steps in dealing
with these problems.
Kadow also reported to his COM
mittee that recent Congressional
action had reducedethe budget for
his offices and consequently reduced
Ills quail. I1C lCPOA ICb biAdb CliC Dlio-
get currently being debated in the
Senate had specifically reduced the
six Field Committees of the De-
partment of the Interior in spite
of the urgent appeal made by Sec
rotary Chapman in behalf of these
coordinating groups. He reported
that a continued effort will be made
to restore these cuts and to re-
establish the services which this
substantial cut will curtail in the
Field Committee.
In line with this curtailment,
transfers have been issued to local
employees, George Megrath, staff
assistant, and Carl D'Epiro, ad-
ministrative assistant. Both men
are scheduled to return to Wash
ington within a few weeks with
their families.
