The cooperative arrangement,

RUST STAIN.
(From Mrs. J. J. H.. W1shington.)
For K. D., referring to your
inquiry in the columns of RICH,
I want to tell you that from many
years Of experience at various
times with removing rust, the
method that has never failed with
me is this: Lemon juice and salt
mixed sufficiently liquid to pene-
trate the material to be worked
on: cover spots and place article
in the hot sun until stain dis
appears. Then rinse out. For re-
moving blood stains, the bleach
that can be purchased in any
grocery store gives directions on
the bottle for methods of proce-
dure for use of the bleach in diff
ferent ways. This well-known
products name has seven letters,
beginning with c and ending with
X. It Is excellent.

APPLE SAUCE RECIPES.
COMMENT.


(Fronl Mrs. p. A. M, RockUule.)
To Mrs. j. E. P, Washington.
Apple sauce can be used in so
many ways to give delightful
variety to your meals. I have
many recipes for using it, but
know space won't permit giving
many. There's apple sauce pie
SO good! Roll out two crusts and
fill the lower one Gin the pie
plate, OF course) with apple sauce
to which you add the grated rind
and juice of "a lemon, table,
spoon of rum f1avoring, y tea
spoon cinnamon and "a cup sugar.
Put on top crust, perforated to
allow steam to escape, flute the
edges and bake as ordinary apple
pie.
Use apple sauce in place of the
milk called for in your muffin or
biscuit recipe, adding u teaspoon
OF your fayorite spice, and use
it. in spice cake, same quantity
as the milk mentioned in your
recipe. Make yummy apple dump
lings by mixing "a brown sugar
and "a apple sauce and pouring
it into muffin pans-should be
about y inch of this in the
bottom of each pan. Then drop
biscuit dough on top, so each
muffin tin is filled "a full. Melt
about 3 tablespoons butter, stir
in "a cup sugar and brush this
over the top. Bake as for mullins.
When baked, turn out upside down
on plate and top with whipped
cream or hard sauce.
And, this is so good for children
and they love it. Make some
Washington State Apple Candy,
Dissolve 2 tablespoons plain gela-
tin in 12 cup of applesauce. Let
stand for 10 minutes. Bring "a
cup apple sauce and cups white
sugar to boil. Add first mixture
and boil slowly for Is minutes
CburnS easily, so watch carefully.
Remove from fire and add Juice
OF q lemon, 2 teaspoons vanilla
and 112 cups chopped nut meats.
The addition of tablespoons
brandy flavoring gives a delicious
touch to it and should be added,
if desired, just as you finish the
Is minutes of cooking. Pour into
well-buttered pan (square) p
inch thick and let stand in re-
frigerator "a hours, then cut in
small pieces, roll each piece well
in powered sugar, and put back
in refrigerator for a few hours.
Keep in covered container, will
keep fresh for a long time.
Right here I would like to say
just word about rum and brandy
flavoring. Many people are afraid
to use them for fear of taking
alcohol or of giving their family
d liquor habit" Look on your
flavoring labels and you will see
that the alcohol content is the
same as in vanilla and lemon.
Your old stand-bys-and since
they are synthetic and there is
actually no rum or brandy in
them, and even the taste is diff
ferent from the real thing, no
habit will be formed, and you will
be able to add new variety to your
baking.
Recipes are my hobby and I
would like very much to exchange
recipes with any one interested.

ROUTE So?

(Fronl E. c. ~, WGShington.)
I never miss reading the RCH
and therefore wonder if one of
your readers could give me some
information in reference to Route
so going to West Virginia? Is it
a very dangerous trip. how high
is the highest point to have to
drive over. etc.? I am planning
to drive there this month some
time. I cannot go where noun
tains are too high as the lack of
oxygen affects me. Thank you for
possible information.
SPOT REMOVAL?
(FrOm S. T., WGShingtOn.)
I have lemon yellow cham
bray dress which has acquired"
orange colored spots. Although I
never knew mildew to be that
color. I think that is what it
must be.
Is there anything on the market
these days that I can wash it in
that might get mildew out?
I'd appreciate any suggestions
you have.

other repair work necessary. I

kind, but have heard of many

London Paper
TO Sell Election
Edition

The conservative London DAILY
Telegraph is going to cut some
international, circulation nip-ups
with its election editions on Sat
urday.
More than 1000 of the Tele.
graphs Friday election specials
will be alrmailed to Washington
and New York via American Air
lines and hawked on the streets
just like the domestic newspapers
Newsboys bearing posters pro-
claiming British Election Results
will be handing out the papers-10
pages each-for an American dime
To give it the right touch, at least
two of them will be strictly Brit
ish-from the Embassy here.
Frank Viner, American circula-
ton manager of the Telegraph,
says it will mark the first time a
British newspaper has attempted
such widespread sale in the
United States. Other copies of
the newspaper will be flown to edi-
tors, broadcasters and newspapers
in 81 cities in the States, Mexico
and Canada along American's S

Prime Minister Attlee tipped

polling place in his constituency
of West Walthamstow.
What a nice man." the old
lady said to her companion. II
wonder who he is.'
1t was routine day at Bucking-
ham Palace. King George is
barred from voting and the royal
family traditionally keeps aloof
from politics. The king received
a number of official visitors and
carried out state business as
usual.
A Bristol voter spoiled his ballot
and handed it back to an official
with the apology, Sorry, this is
Thursday and I am usually filling
out another form" The spoiled
ballot was marked "1-2-x.
That's the form used in filling out

British
Continued From First Page.)

Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland neither party promised
any relaxation of the bleak aus
terity under which Britons have
lived since wartime. And no party
has suggested dropping the am
bilious social services established
after the Laborites came to power
in 1945.
So the choice for Mr.. and Mrs.
John Bull is based on which kind
Of government they think will
keep the breadwinner employed,
lower their heavy taxes, boost their
salaries and cut their living costs
Many Britons were at some of
the more than $4,000 polling sta
tions before opening time in the
gray winter dawn at 7 o'clock this
morning {. am. EST.
Workers in industrial Birming-
ham were stopping in at the polls
on their way to work. In several
London sections voters were
scratching their ballots at the
rate of three a minute.
In London and many parts of
Eastern England the voters had
dry weather. But in Western
England and in Scotland many of
them had to trudge through cold
winter drizzles and nasty mists to
cast their ballots.

Jessup Denies Pressure

Rowing American Ambassador
Philip C. Jessup said today in
New Delhi, India, that American
calls for settlement of the Kash-
mir question were not meant to
put pressure on the disputants
for the territory-India and PAX
istan.
DR.. Jessup declared that, as a
member of the United Nations,
Americas duty is to assist in the
sediment of matters laid before it.
DR.. Jessup declared the United
States is not indulging in a strug-
gle for power in the Far East.
The American aim, he said, "is
to support the independent de-
velopment of peoples which we
see threatened primarily by this
expanding imperialism" of the
Soviet Union.
He assailed Russian moves and
motives throughout Asia. He said
there is a great difference between
Americas position in Japan and
Russia's position in China. which
was not a wartime enemy, but a
friendly state.-AP.

ties over public housing in that
city.
He explained referendums were
forced with a referendum petit
ton"
I'VE weren't afraid to tell the
voters of our town that we were
selfish about this question of pub
lie housing" he said.
Legal Arguments Opposed.
1--WE were against it because We
didn't think it was right, but We
were also against it because it
was hurting our pocketbooks, and
we said so. You can't be Wishy-
washy about it. And don't make
your arguments sound legal, like
the lawyers do.
Show the people who pay the
taxes for public housing how much
it costs them. Bring it home to
them. When you get the taxpayer
to see that the public housings
people are reaching into his
pocketbook, too, the taxpayer will
know what you mean"
Mr.. Blackall said the first ref
erehdum campaign cost 81 build
ing industry organizations fighting
public housing a total of $4,732.09,
and that $4,000 was raised to
carry on the second referendum
fight.
1--WE assessed the 81 organiza-
tions in proportion to their men,
bership and raised the $4,000 in
just 80 minutes at one meeting"
he said.
In adopting a statement of
policy yesterday, the association
went on record as believing the
mortgage interest rates on Veter-
ans Administration and FILA
loans must be brought into har-
mony to recognize the lowest
feasible economic rate set by
competitive demands for invest
ment funds and not by Govern
ment decree"

RomuIo Sees Atom Control

The president of the United
Nations Assembly said today that
there is reason to hope" the goal
of atomic energy control may be
attained sooner than originally
expected.
But, Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo
declared at Orono, Me-, the COM
plexity and magnitude of the pro-
blem preclude possibility, of quick
and easy solution.
The Philippine delegate, in an
address prepared for a Univer-
sity of Maine assembly. did not
enlarge on his reason to hope for
early international control. He
dwelt largely on the potential
threat to civilization from war use
|of the atomic and hydrogen
bombs.
Every day that passes without

with his father because there was
not room for him at the Pontiac
home. The next morning, the sor

Physics Laboratory in Silver
Spring. After Mrs. Hockersmith's
confession, a National lookout was
broadcast for him. In Arizona

recognized James license number
and made the arrest.
No formal charge has been
placed against Sergt. James, but
in Pontiac, Prosecutor Clyde D
Underwood said he would ask for
a flrst-degree murder warrant to-

Mrs. Hockersmith, who said she
hated" her father, told police
Tuesday that knowledge of the
crime had so weighed on her mind
that she had talked in her sleep
Saturday night, she said, her hus-
band told her she had mumbleo
something about father - and
murder" Questioned by her hus-
band the next day, she told the
story.
Self Defense Claimed.

The new election laws restrict
