MATTRESS.
(From Mrs. C. w. B., Jr.,

To E. X. S., Washington: You
can purchase an airfoam mattress
without springs at a foam prod
ucts company in the 800 block of
H street NV.
We just bought two there. They
will also explain the difference
in qualities of airfoam to you, so
you will understand why most air.
foam mattresses have to be used
with special springs. We are more
than pleased with our purchases.
Good luck to you.
(From Mrs. F. D. A.. Washington
To E. K. S.: I was really sur
prised to hear of your difficulty
in obtaining a foam rubber mat
tress unless you also purchased
box springs. I purchased mat
tresses at the department store at
Eleventh and F streets NV. and
at a furniture store on the Sec
ond floor of a building on Seven
teenth street near H street NV.
Unless they have changed their
policy recently you should be able
to buy the mattresses separately.
You will appreciate this mattress.
We wouldn't have any other kind.
Thanks to all you RICH contribu-
tors.

POEM WANTED?

(From Mrs. NJ. L. c., Alexandria, }
Do any of the readers know of
an old time song beginning:
There was little family
Who lived in Bethanee
Two sisters, and one brother
Composed the family.
The following is tried and
true recipe for Sweet Pickle
Peaches. They are very good and
very little trouble to make: 9R
pounds clingstone peaches, not
too ripe; AZ pounds sugar, 3 pints
vinegar. Stick 2 or 3 spice cloves
in each peach, remove the bud.
Remove the seed or nut from the
peach as desired. I like the whole
peach. Cook until tender and the
sirup thickens. Good with vege-
table dinners and fresh meats.
Also here are directions for
making souse, which is in season
now. -Four pigfeet and hook,
boiled until all the meat drops off
the bone. in water enough to cover
them. When they cool, pick all
the bones out, big and little, with
your hands. Add l quart of vine
gar, pepper and salt to taste, pour
in deep dishes to CONCEAL.

SCRANTON. PA?

SCRANTON, PA?
(Fron1 J. N. F., WashingtonJ
For E. M: Housing in this city
is quite difficult to obtain since
there has been virtually no con-
struction in recent years. Rentals.
by Washington standards, are rel
atively low, and likewise the price
of homes is considerably lower
than comparable homes in Wash
ington.
For instance, a two-family, six
rooms each, home frame construc-
tion in a good neighborhood, runs
about $1,000. A similar home in
the District would be worth $16.-
900. Cost of living may be some
what lower, but not to any great
extreme.
ELECTRIC UNITS?
(Fron, Mrs. D. H. E., ChurchtonJ
Last winter I saw an ad in the
Star for electric units which could
be covered and made into electric
blankets. AS they were consider
ably less expensive than the
finished product, I would like to
try making one.
However, I would first like to
hear from any one who has al
ready done this, as to whether
they are really satisfactory, and
also where they can be purchased.
as I have forgotten who had the
ad in the paper. Thank you.

SHEET HINT.

From Mrs. E. E. H., WashingtonJ
To those young mothers who
haven't found out how to make
their baby sheets fast: Just buy
two yards of narrow elastic and
stretch it while stitching around
the edge of the sheet. When you
come to within about IL inches
Of corner, pick the corner up
and lay it along the next side and
you will stitch in a continuous
line and when finished will have
boxed corners that won't slip up
over the mattress. If the elastic
is too tight, just snip it in a couple
of places as the rest of it will be
tight enough to hold. If you
practice folding the corners on
a square piece of paper before
you start, it will be much easier.
If any one should want further
information write to me through

An Outnumbered Army

WASHINGTON-Armies in the
past have been even more badly
outnumbered than are the U. S.
forces now fighting in Korea and
still have won the victory.
Yet when you look back over
some Of the campaigns and battles
of history, you find that an army
fighting against superior numbers
has only about one chance is ten
of being the victor.
Maj. Robert B. Riggs, of the
Army General STAG Corps, makes
this estimate in an article in the
current issue of Military Review"
published by the Command and the
General Staff College at Fort
LeavenwOrth, Kas.
Major Riggs purpose, however,
was to study the battles in which
victory went to the smaller army.
Few as they were, many were i'm
pOrtant. Four of them were among
the Is decisive battles of the world,
as listed by the military historian;
A4A A14 W ClA u - VI CCAOJs
Major Riggs analysis indicated
to him that victory in practically
all battles, from Marathon to the
campaigns of World War IL, has
primarily on the human
factor: That is, the leaders gem
eralship and tactical skill and the
troops discipline, training, morale,
bravery and determination. This
has been true, he said, whether the
was done with swords and
spears or with rockets in the new
est jet planes.
The development of modern
weapons, said Riggs, has given a
new yardstick for measuring the
comparative strength of opposing
forces. The sheer weight of num-
bers is less significant than in the
past; fire power, air power and
speed in maneuVer are what count.
rather than the number of men on
the front line. Still, however, large

Generally, you cannot count on

Riggs wrote.
In reviewing historical facts,
RIGGS recalled, "Englands posi-
tion in history shows that smaller
nations often defeat larger ones OF
combinations thereof. Britain S
population was Outnumbered in
1888 when she conquered Spain,
and again in 1902 against the
French, Spanish and Bavarians, in
Seven Years War, and in 18OO."
Among the battles he cited were:
Marathon, 49O B. C. in which the
Greeks, Outnumbered nine to one,
defeated the Persians through
their discipline and tactical skill.
Gaugamela, 331 B. c., Darius the
Persian in Iraq Outnumbered Alex
ander of MacedOn by eight to one.
Darius used almost modern blitz-
lrieg methods, driving breaches in
TO the Macedonian line with CO.
lumns of elephants, scythe wheeled

anders tactical skill kept his few
men fighting at the right places at
