(From Mrs. A. S., RiuerdaleJ
If any of the readers of RICH
have been in a similar situation
I hope they will write in and
give me the benefit of their ex-
perience.
I have a silk shantung dress
color Turquoise, that has been
badly spotted by liquid deodorant

can't take out the stains without
removing the color. It's an ex-
pensive dress and I can't afford to
discard it, and can't wear it "as
is" Has any one had success
washing such material? Or had
success removing such stains?
will appreciate any help any one
can give.

PAINTING BASEMENT FLOOR.
Fro7a Miss B. M. F., Cheuy Chase.J
believe. j. NJ, Washington,
this is the letter to which you re-
fer: with respect to the problem
involved with cement floors in
Easements, this is a suggestion
which doctor gave me some time
ago. Had a cement floor put in
his basement when he built his
home and consulted with repre-
sentatives of a cement company
for a really good finish.
To the bare clean floor, paint on
water glass, which is popularly
used as preservative for eggs.
After that coating has dried, cut
linseed oil "a to " with turpen-
tine or a solvent. Put two coats
of this on. After this has dried,
simply apply a liquid non-polish-
ing wax and the job is finished. :
His first coat of wax lasted for
approximately seven years and
took a beating from the children's
roller skates, etc., before he put a
new coat on.
THE floor was thus made vir-
tually water proof and was easily
cleaned, usually by use of a dust
mop. This caused the cement
dust to completely disappear and
gave really durable finish to the
floor.
Il understand that this is a
finish used in dairy barns, which
necessarily take a lot of wear and
tear from the cows, trucks, milk
cans, etc.

LENTEN RECIPES?
CHILD PROBLEM?
uTNT

From Mrs. c. A..Z., Washington }
With Lent in the not-too-distant
future, I wonder if some of the
good readers would share a few
recipes. This is always the season
for racking ones brain and recipe
file in menu planning. I would
greatly appreciate having any
fish, egg and cheese recipe you
have found satisfactory. MANY
young housewives will probably
join in thanking you for them.
I would also like some help on
a rather peculiar problem. The
21a year old in our family insists
on playing with electric plugs,
switches, etc. Even being
shocked" hasn't scared him and
since it is SO dangerous we're
constantly after him. I wonder
If any one has found a solution
to a similar situation? Would
greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Here is small hint I'd like to
contribute before closing. Try a
bottle brush when cleaning the
beaters on your electric mixer:
works like magic inside and out
ana yet is so simple.

.., \. Food Editor

It's quite a trick these days to
provide the family with an ade-
quate diet and still stay within
q reasonable food budget. Protein
foods essential in a well-balanced
diet, are high and from all indi-
! cations will be higher than ever
! in 1851.
But !. =. there are numerous
foods that will supplement the
necessary animal proteins in our
diets and yet make an unbeliev-
ably small dent in the budget.
Good durum wheat products
(macaroni spaghetti and noodles)
are among our most dependable
assistants. Nutritionistss tell us
that the protein which comes
from the durum wheat joins the
protein in egg. milk. cheese, fish
and meat to make an excellent
contribution to the days require
ment for this important nutrient.
Durum wheat foods are versa
tile too. They are real soup-to-
nuts foods. for they can star
in soups, main dishes, salads, and
desserts. Folks of all ages enjoy
having them on the menu. They
come In over $50 intriguing
shapes and sizes so you can oc-
casionally vary the shape to give
new interest to dishes. They are
so mild in flavor themselves they
welcome practically any food as a
companion.
The following recipes illustrate
some of the popular uses of
macaroni products.

assistance. Some persons have a
handicapping loss, but one that is
not great enough to wear an aid
successfully, since sounds louder
than the human voice would be
received too loud for comfort.
Then. too, having been fit with an
aid does not necessarily mean that
ones hearing will Immediately be-
come satisfactory. Frequently
persons who have had q hearing
loss for years have to be trained
to listen again-hence, auditory
training classes. Also. lip reading
is not in the least dated. Glasses
in both auditory training and lip
reading are given at the society.
Such classes are helpful for those
with impaired hearing, whether or
not hearing aid is worn.
Hearing aids, auditory train
ing and lip reading will be dis
cussed further in articles to ap-.

permanent hearing loss at all.
You may have an infection that
is causing a temporary hearing
deficiency. You may have wax in
your ear. A cold may have af-
fected your hearing.
It is particularly vital that chill
dren be taken to O specialist as
soon as difficulty is noted. since
their hearing may sometimes be
restored by prompt action.
II your doctor decides that
yours is not a temporary loss and
that a hearing aid would help
you, you are ready for step two
having your hearing tested by an
impartial expert. The Hearing
Consultation Service conducted by
the Washington Hearing Society,
offers such assistance for q nomi-
nal fee. The consultation lasts
for 2l2 hours. Miss Rosamond G.
Wright. the specialist who does
this work, first determines the de-
gree Of hearing loss by testing
with an audiometer, getting a rec
ord of the amount of hearing loss
at each tone in the speech range,
Some people have hearing loss
that is more or less uniform. 9th.
ers have very slight loss for high
tones and serious loss for low
tones, or vice versa.
Miss Wright also determines
which ear should be fitted with
the aid and then has the con-
sultee try five models with
names taped Off to determine
which aid is most satisfactory.
If any of these tested prove ef-
fective, the consultee is referred
to the dealer. But if none is sat
isfactory. the consultee Is advised
to try others, provided they are
approved by the American Medi-
cal Society.
At the consultation, too, infor-
nation is given on hearing aid
costs. including battery costs. A
hearing aid library is also main
tanned, where used aids are &C
cepted and given to the needy.
After you have bought your aid,
and have worn it for two weeks, a
follow-up session occurs. This in
wolves checkup on the fit of the
ear insert (the plastic mold that
fits into the ear and to which the
receiver is attached) and the eff
fectiveness of the aid, as we'll as
suggestions for adjusting the aid
satisfactorily.

finding satisfactory hearing aid

That little bottle Of Tabasco
sauce that rests on your condi-
ment shelf has got quite q history.
I've discovered. Browsing through
some books and papers the other
day, I learned quite q bit about
its origin, and much Of how it is
made.
1t Is q native of Louisiana
where It started life as a pepper
sauce" Creole cookery has always
called for plenty Of hot ingred-
tents. and Tabasco was no excep-
tion.
The story runs that just after
the Civil War, two Louisiana
gentlemen, q Judge Avery and his
son. Edward McIlhenny, returned
from the wars to their ruined
| plantations. They found they had
lost their slaves. their sugar
houses, and their saltworks. In
other words, all their former
means Of livelihood had been
wiped out. They had to cast about
for some other way Of making a
living.
Both men must have been gour-
NETS and fond Of highly spiced
Louisiana foods. From the days
of past glories. when their
kitchens had turned out the best
of everything. they recollected old
recipes, some written, most hand
ed down by word Of mouth. They
started experimenting with various
condiments and seasonings-
as could be concocted from ma
terials growing at hand.
In the shrubbery they dis
covered some special pepper
bushes that had been raised from
seeds brought to them some years
before from the province Of
Tabasco. in Mexico. by. oddly
enough. a Yankee soldier. return
ing from campaigning In that
country with General Scott.
Mr.. McIlhenny set to work with
these peppers. and after some
trials and errors. succeeding In
perfecting q hot sauce that won
instant favor with everyone who
tasted it. Among these individuals.
| 1t is said. was General Haxzard,
then Federal Administrator Of
South Louisiana, whose brother
was head Of q large wholesale
grocery concern in New York. The
General had q small shipment Of
the sauce sent to his brother
and the new, spicy condiment
took New York's gourmet world
by storm. It was christened
Tabasco as a compliment to the
place whence the original pepper
seeds had come.
Later 1t became the rage in
England, where such delights as
worcestershire sauce, Major Gray's
chutney and similar strong mix
lures have always been popular.
A drop or so OF Tabasco on raw
oysters, or kidneys and on break
fast eggs became q custom. It is
said that Kitchener even took
along a case of 1t for his conquest
of Khartoumn!

(This article is the first OF
three on impaired hearingJ
Thanks to science and educa-
tion. the modern with impaired
hearing need not live in a shell of
Loneliness or battle economic dis
tress. For the hard of hearing
and the American, Hearing So
|ciety estimates there are Is mil
lion such persons In the United
States-who must wear a hearing
aid to live effectively and pleasur-
ably are finding growing casual
public acceptance Of these aids a
fact.
Gentlemen like Herbert Hoover
and Bernard Baruch wear hearing
aids as a matter of course, and
attractive ladies like Miss Betty
Wright, director of field service
for the American Hearing Society,
wear the receiver in their ear
along with bright and gay ear
rings and an air of simple unself-
consciousness.
Wear your hearing aid frank
ly" is the slogan of Mrs. Ruth
Hudnut. director of the Washing
ton Hearing Society. a Conmu-
nifty Chest organization and a
chapter of The American Hearing
Society. And Mrs. Hudnut adds
the interesting and indisputable
statement that "after all, a hear
ing aid Is not half as disfiguring
as glasses.
Most beauty conscious women,
however, would rather conceal the
fact that they wear an aid at all,
and thanks to their coiffures, this
is quite possible. Mrs. Arthur
Rrie, an employe of the society,
conceals the receiver In her ear
completely with short. barely col
lar length hair. Her hair falls
softly over her ear, hiding the
receiver button there. The flesh
colored, slender cord that leads
from the receiver to the micro
phone and amplif1er under her
dress is brought back beneath her
hair and passed under her collar
at the spot where her hair and
collar meet.
Women with inner-ear impair
ment will wear this kind Of re-
ceiver. Notifications Of the stand
ard model that allow for an all
but invisible ear insert with a
cord leading to the receiver which
is concealed beneath the hair, can
be used effectively by some people
with certain hearing losses. Most
people. however, will need a model
with the receiver button directly
attached to the plastic ear insert
that fits into the ear.
Persons with middle-ear i'm
pairment are helped by ''bone
conduction,' and their receiver is
worn behind the ear on the mas
told bone.
When you find yourself strain
ing to catch conversation and
missing part of what is said. it's
time to do something about your
hearing. BY neglecting to use an
aid when you need one, you forget
to listen, you forget certain sounds
and it becomes constantly harder
to recapture them. Also. the
voice and speech are affected.
The first thing to do. according
to the American Hearing Society,
is to contact an biologist, or ear
Specialist. You may not have a
