Text of Mai. Barrett's Letter

ings only on the ground that the
actions I took in court was pre-
mature and pointed out that I
had not exhausted my administra-
tive remedies which he said I
must do first before submitting
the matter to the court.
My attorneys considered this to
mean that I must first ask the
board to rescind its order of Oc-
tober 81, 1851, and comply with
what was implicit in the courts
language. This I did in a written
request through my attorneys i'm
mediately after Judge Kirkland's
ruling was announced. 1t now ap-
pears by a 2-to-1 decision by the
board that the Commissioners re-
fused to reseind the order in the
face of the courts decision, al
though it is noted that the presi-
dent-member of the board, directly
in charge of the police department.
voted to comply with the courts
directive.
According to statements issued
by each of the Commissioners to
the public. a majority of the board
make it clear that if I still refuse
to comply with the order I must
face disciplinary action. I now
find myself in the anomalous sit
uation, where the commanding
officer of the Police Department
must carry out an order of the
Board of Commissioners. which
the court in clear language has
held illegal.
Asks Only Fair Play"
However, and forgetting that
part of my disagreement with my
superiors, l am impressed with
the fact that there may be some
people in the District who might
possibly harbor some suspicion
that I am involved in some sort
of corruption or that I am at
tempting to hide behind the pro-
lection of court in order to avoid
facing an inquiry into my finan-
cia1 and private affairs, thereby
lending credence to their suspi-
cion. I have already stated that
I have testified under oath before
grand juries and congressional
investigating committees.
I am acutely aware that I, above
all others, will be under micro
scopic scrutiny before the present
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee. When the time comes for
my appearance, I shall endeavor
to answer, as I always have in the
past, any and all questions which
are legally proper, within the
scope of the inquiry and which
common decency permits. Since
/ am now hospitalized and under
the doctors care, it will be i'm
possible for me to make the neces-
sary search of my records and
other data which I would have to
do in order to get the necessary
and pertinent information needed
to answer all legally proper ques-
tions. This I shall do as quickly
as is humanity possible and l shall
then answer the QUESTIONABLE to
that extent and deliver it to COM
mittee counsel at the earliest DOS
sible moment under the existing
circumstances.
In closing, I respectfully submit,
that what I have done since this
incident began was not, nor was
it intended as an act of disrespect
or insubordination. I am a police
man with twenty-seven (2D years
of service behind me. My record
contains over one hundred (100)

EMBROIDERY INSTRUCTIONS. /

EMBROIDERY INSTRUCTIONS
(From Mrs. X. P. L., Arlington.J
For years I have enjoyed this
column very much and on a few
occasions have sent in answers to
some questions, each time being
grateful for the opportunity to
contribute something. Now. how
ever, / have a problem and am
coming to you with my first re-
quest for help.
After 212 years work I have
Just completed the embroidery on
Ia large cut-work tablecloth, and
am ready to cut it out, but frankly
I am confused by instructions I
get about how to proceed. I am
sure some of your readers must
have made one and, after all my
work, do want to cut it out prop
erly. My questions are as follows:
Do ! wash the cloth or not before
cutting? Do I iron it? Do I cut
from the right or wrong side? I
have purchased small-blade,
sharp pointed scissors to do it, but
III any of your readers can give
me any suggestions about cutting,
I will indeed appreciate it.

YELLOW TOMATO PRESERVES.
PRESERVING LIME SLICES?
(Fron, Mrs. H. C. Mex, Arlington.)
Mrs. L. A., Vienna: Take 5
pounds of yellow tomatoes. Cut
in half, or, if very small, leave
whole and soak overnight in 4
pounds of sugar. These should
be stirred once in a while as there
| is very little liquid. Next morn
ing, drain off strip and cook until
lit spins a thread. Then add to-
matoes into which you have sliced
thin Chen quartered slices) 2
lemons. Cook these until thick
and clear and put Immediately
lin hot, sterilized jars. We have
made two patches of these this
summer and have been besieged
FOR the recipe.
I am wondering if any of the
readers of this column have a
recipe for preserving lime slices.
MY husband and I had them COM
Imercially packed and they were
delicious. with no bitterness from
the rind. However, we have been
unsuccessful in doing them our
selves. We have a box of lines on
hand now and would like some
help.

RAISING MUSHROOMS?
From Mrs. T. w. G.,
FnIIS Church

Have any Of you readers had
any experience In raising mush-
rooms? I am interested in a
small-time operation only, just for
my table. not commercially. Are
they difficult to raise and do they
require a lot of fancy equipment?
I suppose there must be books on
the subject. My assets and quail
fications for taking on such a
hobby are plenty of time, a base
ment, a passion for eating mush-
rooms and a blithe ignorance of
the whole subject.

TAIGLACH?
From Mrs. H. A., Washington
Sometime before the Jewish
holiday, which falls on October l,
I should like to see a recipe for the
traditional candy made for that
holiday, called "taiglach." I have
a recipe, which I have been using,
but the finished product remains
too sticky to handle, instead OF
glazed and dry, as some I have
seen.

CROCHET PATTERN?

Iron, Mrs. U. M, Washington
I would appreciate knowing
where I may have a crochet pat
tern made of house with simple
lines from a picture on post card,
similar to animal designs in cro-
Chef books. Could an artist, know
ing nothing of crochet, draw this
with the right blocks and spaces?
I need a quick answer, as this is
for some ones approaching
birthday.
PIGEONS.
From Mrs. d. P. M, WGShin gton.)
Mrs. A. r. L. and Mrs. j. w. H.
If they will go to a 5 and 10 cent
store or the joke shop on E street
and buy a toy snake and place it
on their dormer or vicinity, they
should have no more trouble. Our
painter told me about the snake
and since then we have had no
pigeons.
(From Mrs. B. r., Washington
I was told that the preparation
by Mrs. A. r. L. can be
purchased at a feed store. but as
yet I have not tried it.

JAPAN.
Iron, r. w. s., Laurel.)

tcTOW II. w. O.s LHuTSLJ
I made the same trip at the
same time Of year you will travel.
The voyage will be definitely cold
at that time and winter outer
wear will be in order for ION deck"
SnowSuits or something compare
BILE will be ideal for the children,
Stacks and loafers for yourself
plus winter coats for deck wear.
Keep in mind that you will be
living out of your luggage from
the time you leave home until
your hold luggage is delivered to
you in Japan. Mine came a week
after I arrived.
There will be laundry facilities
aboard but not always easy to
obtain so take nylon undertakings
wherever possible. For the same
reason wear sweaters in place of
blouses. Things that can be
rubbed out by hand and need no
ironing. There will not be much.
If any, formality aboard so bear
that in mind when packing. There
will be no need to dress for dinner
other than to wear dress rather
than Stacks. The Stacks will do
for the rest Of the day. I would
suggest that the dresses you take
be on the dark, unobtrusive side
the type you can wear frequently
without firing of them. I wore
high heels for the dinner hour and
evening but they are definitely
frowned upon for deck wear.
Tokyo and it's environs could be
compared to San Francisco, with
more rain than snow. If you can
not find what you want at the
Tokyo PIX, a short train ride to
Yokohama and the PIX there
should solve your problem. There
is a very fine one there.
Take your electric appliances
along in your hold baggage. These
may be furnished you, but I be-
lieve you will be happier with your
own. Also, any other kitchen
gadgets to which you are accus-
toned you should take.
I should suggest that you do the
same with the children's things.
bicycles, etc. 1t will be bit Of
an upheaval for them and if they
have their accustomed playthings
they will feel more at home. 7
hope this will be of help to you.
I know you will enjoy your stay
very much and it will be a great
experience for all of you.

TOMATO SOUP CAKE?

One time you printed a recipe

Hard AT Work
by James B. Keeling

(Mr. Keeling is a veteran news
paper reporter and sports news
editor now residing in Lexington.)
The most amazing thing this
writer has observed during his 81
years is the tenacity with which
the Lexington High School foot
ball squad has ben working
morning and afternoon in the 100
degree weather Holmes county
has been enjoying.
Coach Woodson Earle is de-
monstrating that he not only was
a great football player but is a
magnificent physical director ard
coach. He is working the mem
bers of the squad and they are
responding with efforts that
shows Lexington men are real
men.
Everyone should get out and
take a peep at the practice session
