GREASE!

fFron, Mrs. J. M. r., Washington. }
This is for Mrs. T. S. B. of
Silver Spring. I don't know just
how any one can stop grease from
sputtering. but I do know how
chicken, fish or meat can be fried
and Drowned without the grease
popping out.
I have a tin lid TO cover trying
pans with. I have made no!es in
it with a nail and beat down the
rough edges with a hammer.
Anything can be covered and
fried brown with no splashing of
grease. 1t is just like open pan
frying.
Does any one know where can
have china flurines mended? I
have two and the arms are off, I
would like to have them mended.
! They are very old.

Mrs. r. o. SIS diaper problem
I'm sure you are familiar with the
use of borax in soaking or wash
ing diapers. My mother says
that the secret of soft diapers is
to wiring them tightly dry, by
hand if necessary, before hang
ing. The washing machine I use
is the kind that spins the clothes
to dry them and everything comes
out too wet to hang. I only use
it because it takes water hotter
than / can put my hands in and
rinses the diapers well; but I al
ways wiring them by hand. I also
boil my diapers, 4 or 5 at a time,
about every 3 weeks, since having
to hang them indoors has a ten
dency to make them gray.
PAINTING PIANO?
From Mrs. A. r. H., jr.,
SilUer Spring.
I am interested in painting a
very ancient mahogany upright
piano. I read somewhere that
aluminium paint could be put right
over the old finish (Which is in
rather bad shape) without any
special preparation. Then the fiat
paint can be put on over the
aluminium. Since I've never done
anything like this before I'm
anxious to know if any one has
any personal experience with this
method or with the aluminium
paint in general.

PEPPERMINT STICK
ICE CREAM.

NE OfLGAM.
(Fron, Mrs. H. T. S., Alexandria,
To Mrs. C. w. r., Silver Spring.
Here is simple recipe for pepper
mint stick candy ice cream.
One-fourth pound or l cup
crushed stick candy, 1h cups
coffee cream, 112 cups top milk,
pinch of salt. Dissolve candy in
hot milk. Allow to cool. Add
cream and salt. Freeze until firm.
Remove to bowl and beat until
light. Return to freezer tray and
freeze until firm.
This makes a beautiful pink ice
cream and is delicious with cho-
colate or devils food cake. My
only difficulty seems to be in find
ing good peppermint stick candy.
! always buy a lot of extra candy
canes at Christmas for this pur-
pose, but We soon use them up
as this is our favorite ice cream.

PAINT BRUSH TIP.
From Mrs. H. G. F., WGshingtonJ
I would like to pass on some
thing discovered quite by acci-
dent. I wanted to do a little
painting in the bathroom, medi-
cine cabinet, in fact, and found
that the only small brush I had
was in a sorry condition. I had
left it in water and everything
was as dry as could be. I soaked
the brush for Is minutes in the
washing powder, a four-letter one
commencing with T and ending
with E. To my amazement, all
the old color came out and used
the brush for white paint having
wonderful result. Now the brush
is soaking in the same solution
and will come out perfectly clean.
I have had many tips from
the RCH and enjoy reading it
every night.

g. 0. P. Aide Refuses
To Let Eisenhower's
81 Denial Stand
By Jock Bell
Associated Press staff Correspond

Associated Press St1ff Correspondent
A Republican national commit
teeman kept Gen. Eisenhower in
the presidential picture today in
the face of the generals fresh
denial of political aspirations.
Arthur Summerfield, Michigan
national committeeman, said in
a telephone interview he wants
Republicans in his State to look
over Gen. Eisenhower and Sena-
tor Taft, Republican, of Ohio be-
fore they decide whom to support
for the 1852 presidential nomina-
ton.
AS a part of this plan, Mr.. Sum-
merfeld said he plans to invite
Senator Taft to Michigan for a
speaking date soon and hopes to
get Gen. Eisenhower later.
Michigan cast IL votes for Sem
ator Vandenberg, Republican. Of
Michigan on the first two ballots
in the 1948 convention but swung
to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York on the third, when he was
nominated.
Il think Taft and Eisenhower
are the leading contenders for the
nomination next year and I want
Michigan Republicans to take q
look at them before the conven-
ton" Mr.. Summerf1eld said.
He added he likes them both"
and has no choice between them
now.
Gen. Eisenhower broke his re-
cent rule of silence on political
matters over the week end to deny
a radio commentators report that
he might be recalled from his job
as commander of the North At
lantic defense forces by midsum-
mer in 1852 to be available" for
a presidential nomination.

ployes, with resultant savings of
millions Of dollars to the Gov
ernment.
However, many other depart
ments and agencies have only
half -heartedly developed these
suggestion award programs.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee is now looking into the
matter and is putting the pres
sure on these agencies to get 60
ing. With it's vast power to cut
an agency's funds, the House
group may get some results.
The committee in reporting the
years first money bill last Fri
day-the Treasury-Post Office
measure-sharply criticized the
Post Office Department for its
poor record in the employe CASH
award suggestion program.
The Post Office has given only
II awards among its 100000 en-
ployes, the committee reported.
Other departments and agen-
cies that have similarly poor rec
ords will also be put on the spot
by the committee as their appro-
Ipriations requests come before it.
Out of all this may come real
economy and efficiency in Gov
ernment. as we'll as cash awards
and recognition to employees who
have constructive ideas and sug-
gestions.
RIDERS-It will be at least sew
eral more months before Federal
employees know what the House
Appropriations Committee is going
to do about the current bans on
permanent promotions and trans
Ifers and further accumulation of
annual leave.
The House group initiated the
action last year on these two leg
islative riders which were ulti-
mately adopted by Congress. The
riders were tackled on to the omni-
bus lone package) money bill that
contained funds for all depart
ments and agencies.
| This year, however, Congress has
returned to the old system of in
dividual appropriation bills, and
the House appropriations unit has
decided to defer decision on
whether to continue these re-
strictive riders until all the regular
money bills are disposed of. Then,
should the committee decide to
continue the riders for another
year, they would be made part of
supplemental appropriations bill
| While these riders will last until
June 80, it's quite likely that the
committee will modify them for
the new fiscal year starting July l.
There's a good possibility that
status career employees will be al
lowed to get permanent promo
tions within their own depart
ments, and that at least defense
and security agency employees will
be allowed to accumulate some of
their annual leave. 1t might be
that the leave rider will be dis
carded entirely.
At present all Federal employees
must use all of their last years 26
days leave by June 30. This has
worked great hardships on many
Federal agencies, particularly the
defense and security units, who
can't afford to spare their en-
ployes for that amount of time. In
addition. it has placed many en-
ployes in jeopardy of having to
