Again The Same Formula


Since 1886 the Democrats have had
a political formula which seemed so
amazingly successful that, partly
through fear and partly through
envy, the Republicans have never
challenged it in a fortnight way.
Rather, they have tried to lure away
some Of its constituent parts with the
same kind of bait used by the Demo-
Gratis.
Well known as is this formula, re-
cent developments justify restatng
its four elements at this time: %
The vast army Of civilian Federal
jobholders who, at the rate they are
now going on the pay roll, Senator
Byrd asserts, will cross the 100000
mark by November; (2) the Negro
voters in the big pivotal states of the
North, who, until 1886, had been a
solid Republican asset and who have
increased in numbers probably 30 per
cent in the last fifteen years; ca the
forces of organized labor so far as
they are controlled by their leaders,
in the big industrial cities; (4) the
farmers, through a system of bonuses,
bounties, subsidies, favors and hand
outs. This is formidable though not
an unbeatable combination. 1t was
put together by two master politi
cians-thc late President Roosevelt
and Mr.. James A. Farlcy-for purely
political purposes.
Yet the undisputed truth is that
despite its unbroken record Of success
the great bulk of American voters
are not attached to this combination.
Even when the groups vote solidly, in
order to achieve a majority, il must
be supplemented by large numbers of
independents, dissatisfied Republicans
and left wingers. Also, in 1910, they
were helped by the imminence and, in
1914, by the actually of war itself.
In 1913 most politicians agree the
formula was successful largely be-
cause so few voters voted. Given this
four point advantage to start with,

Occasionally we find a child who

Some Reserve Needed

Bunny and his sort are and the

the children's specialist who is

such children can be treated.
They need treatment.
Meanwhile, everything that can
be done to teach the child and to
protect him is to be done. He
needs close supervision. If he is

It is not we'll to frighten these

CLEANING TILE

EFron, Mrs. O. B. j., Siluer Spring.
I submit the following answer to
Mrs. J. M. DIS request for a
method of cleaning between bath
room tiles.
I, too. found it very difficult to
clean between the tiles in the
bathroom-ourS are white which
made the tiles even more un-
slightly. However, one day I tried
scrubbing them with a little round
brush, mounted on a handle (de-
signed to brush suede shoes) and
that did the trick. It takes a little
bit of elbow grease but the result
is worth the effort; a foaming
cleanser will speed the job. And
I believe most Of the dime stores
carry some type of wire brush.
(Fron, Mrs. r. P. G., Washington
1t is with pleasure that I pass
on a simple way to make shower
and bathtub tile cleaning easier.
To bucket of fairly hot sudsy
water, add a teaspoon of house
hold amonia and u cup bleach.
I myself prefer the liquid bleach
with two names, the last one
rhyming with tragic.
Using a scrub brush, go between
tiling. thoroughly saturating with
solution. Now, the secret is to
wait for about half an hour, let
ting the bleach whiten the dis
colored places.
You will find, when you go back
to scrub it again. that half your
work is already done and the
loosened. oily, discoloration just
rolls away like magic"

Many thanks to the kind read

vice and information concerning
bunk beds.
Now for another problem. A
crocheted article of mine had
rust stains on it which I removed
by soaking it in a strong solution
OF bleach. Now, after several
weeks, it has turned completely
yellow. Is it possible to whiten
this again or will I just have to
make a new one?

ATHENS

trTOW MIS-. a. A., WuSntngLOnJ
Mrs. r. j. B., Falls Church: We
spent over year in Athens.
Greece and returned to the States
in July. 1851. Being on an Army
tour we had the convenience of
the American commissary and PIX
but did our fruit and vegetable
shopping from the outside mar
ketS. When vegetables and espe-
cially fruit are out of season they
run very high but very cheap
otherwise and are very good.
Canned goods. soaps. clothes are
high compared to our prices.
Houses were plentiful while we
were there and ran from 500 to
$3.50 per month. Ours consisted
of 2 bedrooms, living and dining
room. kitchen, big breakfast room
and 2 large size Railways. They
have marble floors in the hallway
and kitchen and parkay floors in
other rooms. Houses are usually
quite modern with fiat type roofs
for hanging out clothes. Servants
can be hired cheaply and usually
are good workers.
The weather is beautiful prac-
tically all the year around and the
Mediterranean is as clear as can
be and of course, ideal for SWIM
ming. They have a very mild
winter but you can usually see
some snow on the mountains in
the distance. They had very little
rain in 1950-51 which caused a
water shortage during the sum-
mer months but it has been re-
lieved since. Most Americans have
extra water tanks put on the roofs
which supply them with necessary
water when it was shut OF but this
only occurred in certain sections.
Buses and taxis are plentiful
there, but buses usually are very
crowded so we found our car es-
sential. Fares were cheap but gas
oline on outside markets was
higher than ours but again was
available to army personnel at the
commissary.
They head a school for begin
ners and 1 believe they charged
around $50 per child each season.
This school was combined with
the English pupils. but since hav-
ing no children at the time, can
not give too much information on
this.
Athens has modern conveniences
but not in the electrical appliances
such as ours. so most Americans
bring them over with them. If
you like warm climate and bring
most Of the large essentials with
you, you, perhaps. will find it a
desirable place. We enjoyed our
tour there very much. Most of the
people seem very poor and have
very little, but seem to be very
happy race, singing and dancing
in their little taverns. If you care
for more information, you may
write me though the Clearing
House.
