Howto Figure Pay

The Controller General today
issued to the Governments pay
roll departments instructions on
how to compute the four months
retroactive pay Federal employees
will receive.
| Shown below are the former
Irates in the first column. the
amount Of increase in the seconu
column and the net prior to tax
deductions in the third column.
The upper figure in the third
column Is for employees covered
iby civil service retirement. and
the bottom figure for employees
covered by social security.
Tax deductions Of Is per cent
will be made from the retroactive
payments made to employees be-
fore November /. After that date.
the tax deduction will be 20 per
tcent. However, employees taxed
20 per cent will get back the diff
ference when they file their regu-
lar returns next March is.
Employees can figure out what
the amount of their retroactive
pay will be by the following
method. For example, look at
Line /. An employe who earned
81, 200 has been given the mini
mum pay boost of $500. In the
third column. the upper figure Of
$10.84 represents the biweekly
retroactive pay Of an employe
covered by the Civil Service re-
tirement system.
Now, this $10.84 would be null
tiplied by 8 (the number OF pay
periods between July and Novem-
ber u for total of $86.72. Then.
liz an employe is paid by Novem-
ber /, he computes Is per cent Of
this $86.72 for taxes. which would
be 1851. Now subtract 1851
from $S6.72. and the retroactive
pay for this employe would be
about Still. If the employe is
covered by social security, the
same computation would be used.
only he would begin with $1E56.
the bottom figure in the third
column.
/ For employees who receive their
retroactive pay after November !,
the same procedure is used, only
40 per cent Is used instead Oh
|Il8 per cent. And if another pay
period has gone by. add that 70
the original biweekly pay periods
for computation purposes.

tablets. In order that the tablets
hold their shape. it's necessary to
use fsler casually starch), but
this filler may cause the sugar
strip to look cloudy.
The aScorbic acid may be a bit
more expensive than citrus acid
but the experts feel its worth it
as it does better job. Further
more. the citrus acid has the dis
advantage of making a product
too sour and masking the true
fruit flavor. Powdered ascorbic
acid is available at several drug
stores in the Washington area.
You may also find it at freezer
locker plants. / figured the cost
would run about a dollar for 48
cups OF sirup, which will take care
OF a sizeable amount of peaches.
Solutions Of ascorbic acid grad
ually lose their strength, so the
strip with ascorbic added should
be made up only as needed and
kept in the refrigerator until used.
Another precaution: When the
ascorbic acid is added to the
sirup, stir gently. Air oxidizes the
acid, and too vigorous stirring
will reduce its effectiveness.
In filling the jars for freezing,

Soon the peach season will be in
full swing with the fruit at the
height Of its goodness for canning
or freezing. Fruit marketing
specialists from the United States
Department of Agriculture tell me
they expect the local peach crop.
that is. from Virginia and Mary
land. to reach its peak the last two
weeks in August. Prices should be
reasonable for fruit Of excellent
quality and flavor.
Peaches for freezing should be
just us ripe as though you were
going to serve them for dinner
that night. You want them
juicy-ripe with no lingering green
that means they're not quite ready.
The home freezing specialists
recommend the following method
for freezing peaches: Allow to
Ia pounds OF peaches. as picked
or bought. for each pint container
to be filled. As a rough estimate
you can figure four medium sized
peaches to the pound. A bushel of
peaches will yield SO to 48 pints OF
frozen peaches. Although 1t takes
more time to peel the peaches,

Preparing Peaches for Home Freezers

they have found this method is
preferable to the usual short cut
of dipping the fruit In hot, then
cold water to make the skins slip
easily. The dipping tends to
cause the outer layer to soften in
frozen fruit.
To keep the fruit from darken-
ms. the peaches are sliced directly
into the cold sirup in the freezer
container. For the strip, which
should be made in advance, use a
proportion Of 3 cups sugar to 4
cups Of water. To help the
peaches keep their color and flavor
they recommend adding ascorbic
acid (vitamin c. to the strip, "
teaspoon to each 4 cups of cold
sirup.
There are commercial prepara-
tons on the market ascorbic
citrus mixtures that can be
used to prevent the fruit from
losing color but the department
feels that nothing compares with
the powdered ascorbic acid as an
anti-darkening agent. 1t not only
preserves the color and flavor of
fruit but adds nutritive value. Also
the ascorbic acid in powdered form
is more desirable to use than the

be sure the cold sirup covers the
fruit. A piece of crumpled parch-
ment paper on top helps to hold
the fruit under the sirup. Fruit
will expand in freezing. so leave
head space. In containers with
straight sides and wide tops, leave
u inch for pintS, / inch for
quarts. If the type container you
are using has a narrow top, in
crease the head space to "a inch
for pints. Ia inches for quarts.
Wipe the jar edges clean and
dry, screw the lids on tightly, or
seal according to directions for
the type Of container that you are
using. Freeze peaches at zero de-
grees or colder.

LONDON.
From Mrs. J. A. P-S..
WASHINGTON.

Mrs. NJ. e. c., Falls Church: II
your husband is sent to London
would suggest that you take
your electric ice box and If pos
sible the apartment-size electric
stove. and do be sure to buy a
converter for both before you
leave the United States. In living
there I found ! missed the
American stove far more than
the ice box. The climate is cool
and things do keep reasonably
well without ice but, of course,
after being used to one it is a
bit difficult. I have not as yet
slept in an uncomfortable bed in
England. in fact, I like them
better than most OF, ours. In re-
gard to any other furniture. I
believe you will find hours of en-
joyment in picking up things
which you will want to bring back
with you. You will no doubt find
a furnished apartment, but the
prices are as high, if not higher
than here, but I presume that you
will be given living cost Of some
sort. However, I am certain that
you will find lovely cottages out
side of London that you will like
far better.
The transportation into London
is far superior to any transporta-
ton into N. Y. C.
would suggest that you take
plenty of nylon things or arrange
to have them sent as you need
them. Dresses that we get over
here are much better in lines and
quality for the price (this is
actual dollar cost. OF course. you
will want to have suits tailored
over there and I think there is
nothing like them if you get a
good tailor. (These are not as
high in comparison) The child
ren's things would not worry
about, as you can find nice things
for the girls there, and you will
no doubt send them to public
school (which is equal to our
private ones), and they will have
their own uniforms and blazers.
In regard to food, you will have
enough and you will no doubt
have the privilege of buying
through the Embassy; however. I
always make arrangements for
fresh meat through Overseas
Corp, in N. Y, and it has always
been most welcome. I can give
you the names of several types
of service that I have used over
there and have found them out
standing.
I married British subject and
SO we spend several months of
each year in England and Scot
land. We leave again in Septem-
Der and will not return for six
or eight months. I have been
going over each year and so know
the changing situation!

MUSTARD PLAsTERs.

From Mrs. E. S. D., Washington. J
Mrs. j. L. r., Annandale: My
mothers method was the white of
1egg and mustard mixed together.
When ready to spread it should be
moist enough to spread easily, but
should not be dripping. A piece
of old muslin twice the size of the
plaster required is needed. Spread
mustard mixture on half the cloth
and fold over the other half. Have
a border on the. three sides of an
inch or more wider than the mus
tard mixture. This mixture does
not blister the skin, but will burn
Iif left on too long.
Second formula: Mix mustard
and flour and then moisten with
water. The proportion of mustard
and flour will depend upon
strength desired and the strength
Iof the mustard. Some are stronger,
and more singing than others.
Probably a mixture of half and
half would be about right to start.
Proportions can be adjusted to in
dividual needs. This is for adults.
For children it should be weaker
From Mrs. M. C.. r., Washington
The old-fashioned mustard plas-
ter was made by crushing mustard
seed with a rolling pin, mixing
one part mustard with two parts
flour. adding enough warm water
to make a paste. Spread the paste
on half an oblong piece of cloth,
fold the other half over to cover
the paste. Put a thin coat of
petroleum jelly or some kind of
oil on the side of the plaster
which is to be used next to the
skin. Ground or powdered mus
tard may be used in the same way
as the crushed mustard seed, and
may not be quite as strong.
