THANK YOU" NOTE;
BEDCLOTHES TIP.

(From L. X. r.. Washtngton.J
Just a line to thank the many
persons who wrote me when I
asked for advice on replacing an
ebony handle on my silver hot
water kettle.
The kettle is now in the hands
of a man whose hobby is wood
working, and I am sure he will do
a good Job. 1t is heartening to
know that, with a note to RICH,
problems that cannot be solved
through the repair shops bring a
surprising response from your
readers. Thank you very much!
Here is one tip which may help
others with my own problem: I
have been suffering from a severe
foot infection which required
several days in bed. The weight
of the bedclothes aggravated the
condition. so I took a breakfast
tray. with folding legs, and set it
up under the sheet and blankets.
This gave ample space and air
and, I am sure, hastened recovery.
SKIDDING RUGS?
fFrom E. M, Cheuy ChdSe.)
I am an elderly person inter-
ested in methods of preventing
accidents from >skidding rug not
only to myself. but also to my
friends who are elderly.
They want to know about cheap
methods. I have found jar rub
bers fairly effective, but some
times they fail to work. If your
readers have any suggestions on
this subject or know of any cheap
devices for the prevention of skid
ding of rugs, I would like the in
formation to pass on to my
friends.

I am sure I can help you out in

same position in this last war. and
I went to the Children's Hospital
at Thirteenth and w streets NV.
and offered my services as a
handyman. I worked there for
quite long time. about two days
a week.
OF course, I went in when I
wanted to and worked as long as
I wanted to, and I never did any
thing that I got such pleasure
from as did doing for them. They
were in need of my services, and
it utilized my time for a good
cause.
MEANING OF NAMES?
From Miss E. A.. Washington.J
First want to thank every one
who sent me the poem about the
days of the week. I intended to
write to each person but have
been i'll.
Now I would like to know If some
one can tell me where I can find
a book or information on names
and their meanings. For example
Evelyn means-ternal youth. I
would like also to get information
about last names and their
histories.

fFront Mrs. S. j. D., Wdshington)
For Mrs. w. H. B., Avandale,
re: Spots on chandelier. I pur-
chased metal polish from one of
these hostess parties that seems

fFron, Mrs. F. G. E.. Bethesda
I am wondering If some kind
reader might have some light" to
shed on my problem, waffles and
pancakes. My recipe came with
the waffle iron, but the finished
product is doughy. heavy and not

GENEALOGICAL QUERY?
(From M. c. c., Washington.)
After years of research I am
unable to find any recorded evi-
dence to substantiate the claim
that descendant of a follower of
Lafayette married into an old
Charles County or Southern
Maryland family.
Also the name Of the mother
of William Barton Vincent. whose
sister married Barnes. There
were two Barnes sons. John and
Tom. The last time John was
heard of he lived in Louisville, KY.
HEMMING CORDUROY
fFrom Mrs. c. A.. Washington.)
For Mrs. H. S., who asked about
hemming corduroy garments for
her children.
First. merely baste hem in gar
ment. and just before each wash
| ing, remove stitches and let out
hem, every time.
| After garment is dry, put hem
in again, always merely basting.
Do not use a hot iron.
This is more trouble, but is we'll
worth the time and effort, since
it will prevent the white line in

Is Dan or Tony or Steve or what
ever his name is.
We say off-hand. "All Negroes
are like that or "All Mexicans are
that way" and We don't often take
the trouble to see whether particu'
lar Negro or Mexican is really
like that or not. But from the
Christian point of view. the first
and most important fact about any
person is that he Is person and
not thing.
A Lower Race
THE story Of Jesus and the Sa'
! marian woman shows how
Jesus treated person Of a low
err race than his. We needn't argue
the question whether the Samari-
tans were actually beneath the
Jews. In any case, the Jews treated
the Samaritans like dirt.
On top of all that, the partien-
lar woman with whom Jesus
talked at Jacobs well WAS poor
and with no coed reputation
even among her own people
The disciples were surprised
that Jesus talked With her al
all. But as we read the story,
II is cleai thai while Jesus
spoke of her condition as the
old expression is. he VAS deal
ting with her all the time as
particular human being, not
merely as "a Samaritan"
Evidently. to be sure. she was
greatly inferior to Jesus. and ad-
mi.tcd as much herself. yet this
fact did not raise a barrier between
them.

Negroes In History

It is source of great encouragement to have lead
ers who live and work in the South where the problem
of racial tension is acute set forth progressive
idea in the realm of better racial understanding and CO.
operation Dr. Mason Crum assistant professor OF bb-
cal literature at Duke University, Durham, n c.. has
recently published book under the title The Negro
and The Methodist Church, in which he proposed that
American high Schools especially in the South, give at
entiOn through history to the role of eminent
Negro leaders in this country.
There is need for information about talent
ed Negroes in business and professions, DR.. Crum
writes widespread ignorance OF the Negroes ability to
achieve when given chance is of the chief blocks
to better nterracia cooperation in America. Dr. Crum
reports that there than 100 Negro colleges in
this country These institutions attended by about
$4,000 Students Another $500 Negro students
rolled in universities in the North, he stated and about
5000 bachelors and Masters degrees and $50 Phi.
d. degrees are awarded annually to Negroes.
Dr. Crum observed that greatest progress is made
in racial understanding through the schools than
through the churches in general Strange it may
SEEM DR. Crum writes, the separation of in the
church is complete than in the of public edu
cation Certainly such situation cannot be viewed light
y by Christians, it be put aside final in

We believe with DR.. Crum that much of the lack of
mutual respect relations is due the fact that
too little known of the Negroes contributions the
cultural life of America. There thousands of white
students who know little nothing of the achievements
of the Negro and his contributions to the general Gull
ture.
Oddly enough the currcua for high schools among
Negroes generally do not provide such study. ConSe-
quent many Negro students fail get an understand

biased study of the Negro in American life the part

Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL

How Do You Look? | dare say
that every woman has undiscov
cred beauty and charm. But until
she makes an honest effort to
bring them to light, neither she
nor anyone else knows this. To
be graceful is form of beauty,
and if you are not graceful, it is
because you have not taken prop
err care and pride in your body
carriage. AS an individual, you
may at any time, begin to, and
succeed in cultivating a disting-
uished manner. And being grace
full gets anyone high mark on
Beauty's Score Card.
This means exercise of course,
for it is a bit difficult to be grace
full without exercise, since exer-
else keeps the joints limbered up,
allowing us to escape being clumsy
when we move about. Timber
knees are a MUST in graceful
movement. That imberness comes
from frequent exercise.
Don't be afraid of work. Its
good for the body and gives it
exercise. When there is task
at hand, stand by and do your
share. This does not mean that
one must overwork, but don't put
on a disappearing act when there
is work to be done. This is one
way your lazybones will get ex-
ercise, since you find that doing
daily dozens in the form of bend
ing and stretching is too labor
ious. If you are inclined to be
lazy, you are selfish person,
always hoping to have others wait
on you. Perhaps you feel physical
exertion gets you nothing more
than following a daily tiresome
routine. If so, you have the wrong
point of view, for in this way you
stimulate the bloodstream and re-
fresh your spirits. When doing
stretching exercises, you often
breathe deeply and deep breathing
is a real complexion purifier, a
soothing syrup for ones DISPOSE
ton. And it will build UP or trim
down the figure as needed, and
you should do a bit of stretching
exercise each day. You will have
lots of fun doing it.

or Beauty, address Bessie F. Bell,
