(From Mrs. M. B.. PittSfeld.J
I have just returned from
Washington after visiting my
mother who lives there. She gets
The Star every day and Sun
days, so I was real interested in
the Clearing House. I've saved
many useful clippings. I want
to ask If you have a recipe for a
batter for an iron. You dip the
iron in the batter and then in
hot fat. At a fair last fall here
they made them and sold them
They were delicious and were
real crisp, not too sweet, but a
little sweet. They put powdered
sugar on them after they take
them from the grease. I have an
iron that mother gave me but she
lost the recipe years ago SO did
not know how to make it.
would also like a recipe for
puppies in the blanket" They
have them in the South q lot
They put a frankfurter on a stick
and dip in a batter and fry in
hot fat. They are all concealed
when done and taste real good

French Onion Soup

Real French onion soup is one
of the best dishes there is-as
served on French Line ships, it's
a sure bracer upper for the feeble
sailor! Of course, there are fine
canned versions available for the
housewife-but you can make your
own with little trouble, and be
rewarded by its fresh. strong
favor.
Fry some onions, sliced in rings,
in butter until soft and a golden
brown; drain them on absorbent
paper. Put. generous portion of
the onions into each of individual
soup bowls, and pour in canned
boulllon or homemade stock to
fill. Just before serving, top each
bowlful with thick slice of toast
ed French bread, and sprinkle
grated Parmesan cheese over the
works.

Readers Clearing House
PLANT TREES!

From Mrs. S. T. c., Rockville. }
Having just finished an article
in the February issue of House
Beautiful (page 104 on planting
trees, I feel compelled to write,
urging all homeowners to read it
and take thought. When I ride
around new housing develop
ments and see thousands of small
homes exposed to the sun, I feel
unhappy. that their inhabitants
fail to realize the value of pro-
tecting themselves from the sum-
mer sun. It is the afternoon sun
beating on the west sides of these
homes which heats their bedrooms
to oven temperature at bedtime.
Snice spring is the time to plant,
why not give the subject some
thought now? Even if you can
not afford a big, costly shade tree,
putting in a 5 or 6 footer, which
an amateur can plant, will benefit
you in 3 or 4 years. It is worth
thinking of the future if you're
short on cash now. I know when
I lived in a temporary Govern
ment project no one bothered with
landscaping, feeling that their stay
was so short. But many have
stayed 8 or 8 years, and are en-
joying shade from trees which
were left on their lots by the
builder. The trees were small
when they moved and could have
been placed more advantageously
on the lots while small had the
occupants realized the Importance
Now that they have grown large
it is too late.
Comes the question, what kline
Of trees? That is a matter oi
choice. One landscape architect
I have studied recommends fol
shade sugar or red naples (not
dwarf), if you like naples. Many
other varieties Of maple let root:
grow near the top of the grounC
and rob the lawn Of nourishment
and moisture. In addition tt
sugar and red naples. honey To-
Gust. tulip. sweet gums and all
varieties of oak are recommended
Box elders, silver naples and Chi
nese elms are a poor investment
on any property because they are
short lived and need replacing toe

like to see comments on this SUBJ

WINDOW TREATMENT;
S-WASHCIO OTHS

DISHCLOTHS-W -WASHCLOTHS
(From Mrs. T. E. H., McLean.J
Mrs. N. E., Arlington: Maybe
the following idea might appeal
to you to achieve more color at
your windows inexpensively: Buy
inexpensive sash curtains and tint
them at home with a tint whose
brand name contains six letters,
the first being "T'' and the last
tx" Use these on rods procurable
at dime stores. A coral shade is
made from this brands tearose 43,
using 2 boxes of the tint to one
pair of white curtains. Maybe a
brown sash curtain would look
well on green. You might then
like the effect that's obtained
when the window shade is lowered
just to the top of the short sash
curtain. If you have a large guam
tity of glass curtains. you might
consider cutting some of them to
sash size. and then tinting. Some
find the kitchen sink a convenient
area for this coloring.
Another solution for the sour
waShcloths and dishcloths is to-
substitute the rayon-plastic towels
for cotton cloths. These are Won
derful. Lightweight, colorful, odor-
less, may be cut to any size and
boiled. There are a thousand and
one uses for them. They, too, are
just the thing to take on trip.

MUSICAL BOX?
DINING TABLE?
(Fronl Mrs. r. H. L., CheUerIy.)
Is it possible to have a musical
powder box repaired? I think
the children wound it too tightly.
Have any Of you kind people
ever had a full-size pedestal-din-
ing table converted into a drop
leaf, extension style? We recent
ly moved into a smaller home and
the table is much too large for
the room. It is a good table and
in excellent condition and we
hate to dispose of it.

President Truman has handed
draft boards the authority to as

tions, which may cover about 5000
objectors, do not apply to those

Last years draft law said physi-
cally fit young men who can
convince draft boards of their
religious objection to military
service must take civilian jobs
which contribute "to the main
tenance of the national health
safety or interest"
The Presidents order said such
jobs-subject to draft board ap-
proval-may be with Federal
State or local governments, OF
with non-profit groups engaging
in public services or charitable
activities.
The objectors may be paid
going wages" by their employers
Those who fail to perform the
required employment can be
prosecuted as draft evaders. :,
