OUNCIL SHOULD A K DEFINITE STEPS
REGARDLESS OF what may be said, the recent crime
which struck with lightning speed focused attention on tvo
factors First, that this place, going along its way comnlacent-
~ and known for the low crime rate, is faced with one of 4ba
most serious and battling crimes Of the decade, and second
that the leadership of the local force is in a most uncertain
and delicate position.
CHIMES ARE the curse of any community. Without
warning they come upon the scene, and the community is
ueh shocked INTO how tragic the work of some mentally de-
ranged OF laWleSs mind can become. It is then that action is
usually taken, and the local law enforcement officials are
ane upon 10 stretch every SineW to bring the criminal to ius-
tce. However, in place after place, these crimes occ,r and
the citizens place the entire matter in the hands Of the noice
and then go about their daily duties. Here the situation is diff
terent as for the first time there is a crime the solution ofi
which seems nowhere in sight.
WHAT IS ALMOSTa as important as the solution Of the
crime is the condition of the dictatorship Of the local police
1orce. For years now the force has been without a permanent
uneceor' N TACT since the resignation of William Robinson.
AS seemed exPedient, Lieutenant Matthias was named ACTING
uFectof' Under normal conditions this move would appear
haturai1 out it is known that the legislature is not entirely
sauSfled with the work of Acting Director Matthias, and thus
Tx ruD' mere IS no real move to bring in an outsider, CONT
mental or otherwise, yet Lieutenant Matthias is not being con-
sldered tor permanent appointment. The matter rests souarely
with the Council whose duty it is to confirm an appointment
I II i made by the administration. However, the administra-
uon' which IS fully aware that such confirmation will not be
gwen, IS doing the wise thing in not forcing the issue.
THAT ST. CROIX cannot go on without a Director of
romeo IN clear, and the longer the matter stays hanging in air,
the longer the force stays without adequate leadership, and
the more intense the. low morale becomes. If the Legislature
Is dissatisfied that the Acting Director cannot perform the Job

rector should be appointed and confirmed. II is hoped that
the Council viii face its sponsibiIty and not Just sit by while
a damaging and demoralizing situation is allowed to continue.

YOGURT:

SHINING FURNITURE FINISH?
From Mrs. L. S., Washington.)
According to what the health
stores say and the directions in
the yogurt culture package, you
are making clabbered milk, not
a true yogurt. They claim one
has to have the true yogurt cul-
ture to make yogurt. I can sue
cessfully make yogurt from the
hot milk recipe. My secret is to
put the jars of warm milk in
tightly covered vessel of water and
wrap the vessel in a blanket.
Thus, one can get the product
made in three to five hours.
Can any one tell me how to
remove the shining surface from
my radio, without removing all
the finish and redoing the piece?
1t seems that a coat of varnish
is over the stained wood. I want
a duh finish.
STRAINER?
(From Mrs. H. A. T., Hamilton.)
Can any one help me find a
strainer which fits into the old
type kitchen sink? Mine has worn
out and half of it is gone COM
pletely so that many particles of
food go through. I'm afraid it
will cause trouble The sink is
too good to discard and it is a
very good size, so I do not care
to buy a new one. The Strainers
in the new sinks are so much
larger that they won't help at all
I have tried putting wire screen
ing under the present drain but
that fills up so fast that it slows
the water draining off.
I would appreciate it if any one
can tell me where I could find a
new strainer or what can dc
to the present broken one.

SCUFF MARKS?

From D. L. H., Arlington.)
I wonder if any reader of the
RICH knows of a way to take black
scuff marks off blond mahogany
furniture?
I have tried without success
many furniture polishes that
clean as they polish and soap and
water.
Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated. This column has
been Of great help to me although
this is the first time that I have
ever sent in a request.

CLEANING JUG?
(From Mrs. F. P. H., Alexandria, }
Perhaps this request has al
ready been made in the past and
some kind reader has furnished
the desired information, but I
do not know what solution or
product can be used to remove
the stain and encrustation which
forms on an attractive glass jug
in which ivy has been grown in

Can some one please give me
instructions for cleaning this

SONG WANTED?
(From T. r. H.. Washington.)

(From T. r. H., WaShington.)
Maybe some of the readers can
help me out. Here is a song that
was sung in theater so or so
years ago. At that time airplanes
were not thought possible. 1t may
be an English song. I would like
to have the complete words.
I've heard people say
They would startle the world.
Buy they caWn't do 1t, you know;
They'd navigate ships
Through the air to be whirled
But they cawn't do it, you know.

Married Men Are Often Fascinating
To Women Because They Are Forbidden

DEAR MISS DIX: Why is it
that so many young girls and
women try all Of their schemes
and wiles to get the attention of
married men? Do they not realize
the harm they are doing in
alternating husbands and wives
ard breaking up homes and half
orphaning little children? I am
not denying that the men are
weak to fall for these scheming
women. They are. But many a
middle-aged man would never
think of having an affair with
a woman if she didn't make the
first advances.
r. M.
Answer: OF course, there are
many cases in which a woman,
who is thrown either in society or
in business with a man in whom
she finds her ideal, falls in love
with him. For this she is not to
be blamed, since the heart is an
unruly member over which we
have no control.
But in the great majority of
cases in which women, and espe-
cially young girls, have affairs
with married men they are actu-
ated by the very sordid motive of
gain. The married man is settled
in business, he earns more money
than a boy does and hence he is
a better paying prospect. Also, he

is easier to work, for he is flattered
and flustered at the idea of girl
finding him romantic.
But is is true that nine times
out of ten when a Sedate middle
aged man suddenly develops
wandering foot it is because some
woman has signaled to him across
the fence and made him Jump the
bars. That doesn't excuse him. of
course. But it is just how it gen.
orally happens.
There are women who are ad-
venturesses by nature and for
whom married men have a fatal
fascination merely because they
are forbidden fruit. Just because
man belongs to some other
woman makes him more desirable
to them than he would be if he
were free. They get sadiStic
pleasure in torturing the poor wife
and watching her helpless jeal-
ousy as she sees her husband pay
ing court to girl half her age,
far prettier than she ever was, and
spending the money on her that
ought to go to buy the children
clothes and shoes. 1t does not con-
Germ them that they are breaking
up homes and wrecking lives. All
that they are interested in is in
amusing themselves and getting
as much as they can out of men,
and they have no pity for the poor
wives and children.

Big Regatta
 ToBeRowed
 On Saturday

MARIETTA, Ohio, June 15--tR-- Washington and California looked like the schools to beat as rowing crews from l3 colleges worked out on the Ohio River today in prac- tice sessions for Saturdays regatta.
 But an ar of quiet confidence brewing in the Navy camp brought the middies into the picture as a darkhorse contender in the Inter- collegiate Rowing Associations championship event.
 The heavy crew of Massachusetts Institute of Technology loomed as the toast of the East, with Cornell and Pennsylvania also rating a nod as possible winners. The fact that the crews will be racing on new three-mile course instead of the well-known Hudson River course at Poughkeepsie, N. r., gave some backing to scattered pre- dicions of a possible upset. The uncertainty of time trials over the course gave coaches no assurance of speed as compared with times on the Hudson River site.

STARS GET
 JOLT FROM
 50L0NS4-3
By HERB WILHOIT Associated Press Sportswriter)

Occasionally even the mighty must bow to the lowly. so we find the Hollywood Stars bent over a little in the Pacific Coast League today.
 The league-leading Stars have to salaam to the cellar dwelling Sacra- mento Solons who rose up from the dungeon to jar the throne, 4-3, last night. This uppishness shaved Hollywood's lead to five games as Oakland took firmer grasp on sec ond place by again beating San Diego, 5-4.
 For Il weeks Sacramento hadn't won a game on Wednesday night, until last night. And the night be- fore when the park was packed in honor of their manager, Joe Marty they lost, Az.
 But last night the Solons couldn't be stopped, principally because ot third baseman Jim Tabor's homer in the eighth inning. The Stars had tied it, 3-3, in the seventh. Solon pitcher Bill Evans held Hollywood to seven hits. Tabor's sixth homer this season was off relief hurler Jean Roy, who replaced Lee An thony in the Aeventh.
 Four San Diego errors helped Oakland to victory, which put the Oaks a full game ahead of the Padres who now find the Portland Beavers only game behind them.
 With the score tied A going into the ninth, Oakland's Bob Holman walked Charlie Gassaway sacrificed him to second. Artie Wilson rapped line drive which stung the shins of Padre shortstop Johnny Berar- dino and Hoffman raced in with the winning run. It was an error on Berardino.
 Los Angeles needed little more than pitcher Cal McLish to beat Seattle, 8-3 McLish became the first Angel pitcher in two years to win 10 games and he smacked a three run homer to help himself along. It was the first one he ever hit right i handed, although he had a lefty four master against Seattle last year. He held the Rainiers to five hits and struck out seven men.
 Tod Davis and Frank COlman homered for Seattle, the latter mak- ing it 3-3 in the third. There the count stayed until the sixth when the Angels let go for five runs, ln- cluding McLish's noble effort.
 In the Leagues only day game San Francisco's Al Lien pitched his first win since May 30, over Port land 5-3.
