Cafritz, through the years, had

The company kept some Of this

Mrs. B. w. S.. Arlington: A
small girl can follow the recipe
that was in use in 1850. Select
/ the finest roses when they are in
full bloom. In fact, the opportune
time for plucking is at the time
when they are ready to drop their
petals.
Place the garnered flowers on
large platters or wooden dough
boards. Keep in a dry place out Of
the wind. Salt sparingly. They
will remain in a dampish condi-
ton for about two days; and be-
for they are thoroughly dry,
sprinkle with powdered cloves and
cinnamon. When dry, store in a
jar with a loose lid so that the
pungent odor may permeate par

AMARILLO.

from Mrs. M. McA., Arlington
Mrs. M. A. K: In answer to your
RICH letter, let me suggest that
you investigate Amarillo, Texas,
as a home. I have lived there 81
years. first as wife and mother
and now as a widow living alone,
but I have yet to discover a bet
ter year-around climate. ANA
rillo has around 10000 people and
is on the high plains, just under
1000 feet In altitude in the So
called Panhandle of Texas.
This part of Texas has no COM
parison with the climate in the
rest of Texas, which is rather like
Washington climate, but ours is
very near the high, dry climate of
Colorado and New Mexico. The
sun shines most of the time and
while the thermometer goes high
in the summer, the humidity is
always so low that there is never
any muggy, sticky weather. The
nights can't be excelled.
Our schools rank with the best
all the way through kindergarten
and college. There are many
lovely new ones being built now
as Amarillo is growing.
You have just to ask any of the
wives and mothers of the service
men stationed at the jet mechanic
school to find out how friendly
our people are. 1t is very mare
you ever hear Of a newcomer who
hasn't been welcomed and made
to feel at home.
There are many, many new
apartments and houses being built
and am sure that this will begin
to bring prices down in that field.
OF course, prices have never been
nearly as high as Washington.
We have first-class stores of all
kinds and a new, large depart
ment store is being built at this
time. ny:
We have beautiful homes and
many trees and flowers in the
city. However. you will miss trees
outside Of town as it is a plains
country. But there is much of
great historic interest in the be-
ginning of our country. The lovely
Palo Duro Canyon. a State park,
is thirty miles south, with summer
cottages and camping facilities.
We have wind and snow in the
winter but it doesn't last too long.
I'm not a member of the cham
ber of commerce but do like liv-
ing in Amarillo and couldn't re-
sist putting in word of appre-
citation for it.

there was a limit of two pounds of

My aunt is very fond of nuts so
I send a can of peanuts or an
almond bar in the large size. The
package is usually opened at the
customs and one time the package
was left intact except that some
one had taken the almond bar.
The English as a whole are not

I think is rationed. 1 doubt if you;

probably treasure pair of nylons.
Your daughter could wear them

repaired. She says the price IS
terrific and that they do not come

Derby Title in Racer
Carved Out Of Tree
By Meredith S. Buel

A gravity-powered tree trunk
will go HURTING down the track
on Derby Day.
Tucked away inside it will be
I13-year-old Billy Katzel. 1t took
Billy year to hollow it out. max
ing only about an inch headway
ia day. His tools ranged from a
Ichisel to a blow torch. To re-
move the bark, the 75-pound
boy whacked away with an adj
which has a thin blade for trim
ming rough wood.
The youngster got the idea of
following out log the day after
ne raced in last summers Wash
ington Soap Box Derby. He came
in last in his first heat.
Il had a piece of junk last
year," he says. 81 had trouble
making ends meet and I wanted
to economic on my second racer.
I knew I could save money needed
for a f1oorboard, plywood for the
sides and nuts and bolts by just
following out a piece of tree"
Suitable Tree Found.
Billy was lucky. His father, a
building contractor, was clearing
land for a housing development
when he found just the tree. He
brought the boy home a good
size piece of poplar. The youth
planed both ends to a point.
He cut off just enough to give
him an 80-inch length, the maxi
mum allowed. Unlike most boys
he had to build his car from the
top down instead. of from the
wheels up.
A week after losing in his first
Derby, he was busy on the new
racer. It was hard work, he re-
calls. whiting away inch by
inch this tough wood.
I broke one chisel and had to
sharpen my tools all the time"
he says. Il also used an electric
drill to help chew away the wood
When chips and small pieces of
wood wouldn't come out, I took a
blow torch and burned 'em out"
Expects Less Resistance.
Billy feels his coaster will be
fast. II think having the body
all solid wood will offer less air
resistance" the boy says, "asI
there are no holes for the air tol
get in." He plans to fill any
cracks with plastic wood.
Billy is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold B. Katzel of GILL Munsey
street, Landover, Md. He at
tends Bladensburg Junior High
School.
Although his bullet-shaped logl
IS heavy. he figures he can carve

Wake Up
To More Comfort
Without Nagging Backache
IA THE EVENING STAR
Washington, D. C.
FRIDAY, JULY IL, 1882

Nagging backache, loss of pep and energy
headaches and dizziness may be due to slow
down of kidney function. Doctors say good
kidney function is very important to good
health. When some everyday condition, such
as stress and strain, causes this important
function to slow down, many folks suffer nag
ging backache-feel miserable. Minor blad-
der irritations due to cold or wrong diet may
cause getting up nights or frequent passages.
Don't neglect your kidneys if these cendi-
tions bother you. Try Doan's Pills-a mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for
over 80 years. It's amazing how many times
Doan's give happy relief from these discom-
forts-help the Is milesof kidney tubes and FL
