GRAPE WINE.

mrs. r. S. D., Takoma Park
I, too. have been watching
for wine recipes in the RICH. I
am sending in a very old one
maybe some one will have a
better one. I have adapted it
by letting it stand in a cloth
covered crock until fermenting
ceases and straining again, put
ting it into old cider or vinegar
bottles and jugs with screw tops.
It turned out well and rather
sweet. I do have a recipe for
rice and raisin wine dry if the
lady still wants a dry wine.
Grape wine: Mash the grapes
and strain them through a
cloth; put skins in a tub, after
squeezing them, with barely
enough water to cover them:
strain the juice thus obtained
into the mixture; let it stand in
an open tub to ferment, covered
with a cloth. for a period Of
from 3 to 2 days; skim of what
rises every morning.
Il omit the rest Of it, Put
Juice in a cask and leave it open
for "a hours: then bung it up
and put clay over the bung to
keep the air out. Let your wine
remain in the cask until March,
when it should be drawn of and
bottled.

GOOD COLLEGE.
NrS. L. C.. ", Washington

UNITY. l.. y. ", w WUSILtNgtOu/
Miss E. c.: First let me say
that I think you will find LSU
to be a most enchanting place
to undertake your collegiate
studies. The campus is large
and scenic. The buildings and
all Of the abundant foliage sur
rounding the campus make a
quite tropical impression. The
climate indorses this impress
sion.
The co-eds dress casually
for all class day activities.
Pastel cottons and sandals are
worn until the middle of Oc-
tober and quite often even later.
The winter months (from No
vember to March) are not
usually severe. Skirts and
sweaters. with accompanying
loafers, socks and polo coat are
the vogue. A fur coat Is not
very practical as there are very
few zero days. If any.
You will find that the extra
curricular activities are many
and varied. All outdoor sports,
particularly tennis. swimming
and golf. are heartily engaged
in by the entire student body.
This healthy enthusiasm for
sports especially impressed me
during my stay in Baton Rouge.
There are many dances, both
formal and informal; picnics
and levee parties. Also, I think
that you will find that frequent
visits to New Orleans (only 80
miles distant) will account for
much of your leisure time. This
is a very scenic city and you
must not miss the opportunity
OF thoroughly exploring it while
living within such q short dis
tance of it.
I am sure that you are going
to be favorably impressed by the
student body at LSU. Every
one-Students and faculty alike
have q warm-hearted friend
liness about them that COM
pletely captivates any Yankee
shyness that you might possess.
AS you stroll to and from classes
every day. you win be greeted
by dozens Of students that you
have never seen. It is that
kind Of a school. You will love it.

POEM?
(Mr. W. r. L., W1shingtonD
Can any of you readers supply
the rest of the poem which con-
tainS these lines?
As rummaged through the attic
Listening to the falling rain
As 1t pattered on the shingles,
And against the windowpane,
Peeping over chests and boxes
Where the dust was thickly spread .
The poem or song may be en-
titled MY Trundle Bed"

Lives there a girl with soul
SO dead, who never in the moon
light said, This is my chance to
get my man.?
This is Cell Chapman's para
phrase of a familiar quote. and
one that fits the mood of vaca-
tions, harvest moons and summer
romance generally.
Mrs. Chapman, whose aid to
romance-seekers in the form Of
the worlds most glamorous eve
ming dresses is we'll known, has
some pertinent pointers on how to
follow through on the initial
charm of your prettiest party
dress when you have that big
midsummer date coming up:
Don't overdo your makeup or
your coiffure. The heavy vamp
stuff Is for winter time and elec-
trio lights.
Look fresh and be fresh from
the skin out. Tired-looking ruff
fles. creases and wrinkles deduct
so per cent from your appearance.
Don't hesitate to wear your
most festive summer dress df it's
light silk. organdy. lace or cot
toni but do hesitate to load up
with jewelry and accessories. A
low neckline, crinolines and a
sash are right at any midsummer
party, formal or not, but jangling
jewelry. fussy shoes and bags are
not.
Remember that white and light
colors spell summer and fem
ininity to most men. Save your
blacks and bright colorS for later.
Play up the value of such sum-
mertime accessories as a fan, a
filmy scarf, an ad lib bouquet of
fresh flowers from your front
yard.
Take one last long lingering
look in the mirror, so when he
says Remember how you looked
that night?" you'll never forget
the formula.

CLOTHES DRYER.

fMTS. w. II. c., ATtingtOn)
I have stopped in the middle
of sprinkling my clothes to an
swer the lady who asked
whether she would be happier
with an automatic clothes dryer
or dish washer.
I live in an apartment and
for five years have used the
tumbler type dryer. The wear
and tear on my clothes has been
terrific! I stay in the laundry
room and snatch each piece
from the dryer as soon as it
is dry-but still the elastic in
the childrens' underwear and
pants perishes quickly. The
buttons on pajamas beat holes
in the cloth from the constant
banging as the clothes tumble
around and most materials
come out so limp they feel like
rags.
The advantage I can see to
an automatic dryer is that it
is good for towels, corduroys,
chenille mats and bedspreads,
but if I had my way would
hang everything else on the line,
even indoors if necessary.
would prefer to have a dish
washer in a home of my own.

SPECIAL REQUEST?
Mrs W. F. p, Falls Church,
A good way to freshen stale

SPOTS ON WALL.
IF. E. F., W1ShinUtou)

1t sounds as though I had a
situation with regard to "spots
on wall'' similar to that of Mrs.
T. L. B., with spots on the inner
as well as the outer walls.
No one could give a remedy
for the problem until found an
engineer who suggested that the
condition might be due to the
type of wall paper, absorbent like
blotting paper. He advised that
the paper be removed and that
the walls be painted, not papered,
with an undercoating of alum
mum paint. I followed the di-
recticns to the letter and have
had no trouble since-it has been
about three years. When the
paper was removed the walls
were perfectly dry so that I be-
leve the fault lay in the type
of paper alone and probably
the painting was not necessary,
but I took no chances and fol-
lowed directions.

In addition to his circuit

the run charged to him in the

|0pS Opens Program
To SET Up Local Price
Boards Over Nation

The Office of Price Sterilization
today is launched on a program
to set up local price boards
throughout the Nation.
But to avoid any implication the
program is a political move, Price
Stabilizer Tighe E. Woods said the
first board will not be established
until after the election.
Mr.. Woods also expressed the
belief direct price controls will be
necessary "aS long as we have a
mobilization program and are
spending the amounts contem-
plated" on it.
Controls Expire April 30.
Under the present law. price and
wage controls expire on April 80.
Mr.. Woods said it is not intended
that the boards will popularize
continuance of such controls, but
that may result. He added that
there is room for stronger laws, re-
gardless of any change in ad-
ministration.
The first local board will be set
up in Sacramento, Calf, on No
vember 7. It will be followed by
boards in st. Paul, Mimi. on No
vember IA and in Providence,
r. l., November 20.
With these three "pilot" boards
in operation, the price director
said he hopes the majority of the
boards in 80 additional metropoli-
tan centers will be in operation by
the end of the year.
Mr.. Woods stressed that the
boards are intended ito give the
American people chance to make
price controls effective in their
own communities"
Based on National Standard.
Price controls now are set on q
basis of national standards. Mr..
Woods conceded at q news con-
ference yesterday that actions of
the local boards might result in
different price levels at different
places.
The boards duties, Mr.. Woods
said, will include receiving COM
plants. conducting informal hear
ings into violations. serve as the
conscience of the community" in
obtaining compliance. and recon-
mend strengthening of controls
where necessary, rollbacks where
permissible" suspensions and
restorationS Of controls where
desirable.
