Problems Today

DEAR MISS NrSSEN: How can
I deal with q girl who is lacking
in consideration? ! am a young
man Of %. going with a girl. two
years younger. We ar very fond
of each other. but she leads me
into the most embarrassing situa-
tions. For instance. when we are
out. If she meets a friend, she'll
stand and talk for half an hour
or more leaving me stranded. She
doesn't even introduce us. Often
when I call on her she'll extend
the same treatment. engaging in
some activity or talking to some
one and leaving me on the side
lines. d. S.
ANSWER-While it's possible
that your girl friend is simply
ignorant Of the fundamentals Of
good manners, her actions are
more indicative Of a terrific ego
that impels her to put every one
around her in an inferior light.
Most erroneously., she believes
that her own position is thereby
exalted. It is-but only in her
own eyes. Marry such q girl only
II you want to spend the rest Of
your life basking In the reflected
light OF her radiant personality.
Such an existence, warn you,
can become very boring.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: After 27
years OF marriage. my husband,
who was never good to me or our
four children. left me and went
away-no one knows where. For

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

The waiStline is a vital meas
urement in the feminine figure.
I have often been surprised when
measuring a pupil. to find that
her hips were several inches too
large. This was due to the fact
that she had a slim waist.
This always gives the illusion
of grace and youth ard a good
figure. A slim waistline is aSso-
ciated in our minds with romance
while a thick waist makes us feel
matronly.
It is too bad that so many
women keep that roll over the
girdle. There is no measure
ment which so quickly responds to
exercise. If you are overweight
you will have to diet but exercise
will speed the loss in inches. If
you have the correct number Of
pounds but your weight is unat-
tractively distributed you can re-
duce your waist by exercise alone.
This is no idle fancy of mine!
have seen it happen over and over
again in my classes.
Today I want to give you a
waiSt-reducing exercise. Kneel
on both knees. Straighten your
right leg out toward the right
side. Right knee should be stiff,
right foot on the floor. Raise
your arms upward by your ears.
Keep the arms in this position
while you bend your trunk to the
left. Raise the trunk. Continue
doing the exercise slowly and feel
ing the pull Of the muscles on the
bend. After awhile bend the
right knee, left leg to side, and
bend the trunk to the right.
Remember, too, that your
waistline is your lifeline. Over
weight has definitely been cor
related with a shortened life ex-
pectancy and as a foundation for
chronic disease. 1t places a great
burden on US physically.
The abdominal muscles also
play part in a thick waistline.
Let me give you one exercise for
these muscles. They are impor-
tant in figure beauty and also in
health.
Lie on the floor on your back
VIII your legs straight and your
arms resting on the floor over
head. Bend both knees up close
to the abdomen. Straighten the
legs, returning them to the floor

PIE CRUST;
TWO SUGGESTIONS

mrs. d. H.. Shady Side)
Mrs. w. H. D., Silver Spring
To keep the crust Of q custard
pie from being soggy, be sure to
cool any pie on a rack so that
the air can circulate freely un-
der the pie. Also, remember
that custards require a slow oven
not over 400 degrees or they
will become watery. Too hot an
oven causes whey" instead of
a nice smooth custard.
I have q suggestion to pass
on to bird-lovers. Save your
cantaloupe seeds and put them
out on the grass where the birds
can find them-and you will be
rewarded with plenty Of visitors.
One more suggestion-a roll
Of paper toweling. stood on end.
on the closet shelf, makes a
very convenient hat rack!
Congratulations on the Clear
ing House" It is the most in
teresting part Of the paper.

FRENCH TOAST?
CHRISTMAS IDEAS?
From N. r. K, Richmond)

~ ~ 49, ASsNfSHSObtOI
First I would like to thank
the readers who answered my
plea for information about
Mexico City. My trip was
thrilling and I'd like to suggest
1t for next years vacation to
those who like to see new and
different places.
Can any one tell me how to
make French toast with a Gin
namon and powdered sugar
coating. ! ate my weight in
it down at Acapulco, but when
] got home and tried to make
1t I ended up with a soggy mess.
Now would be a good time
to get Christmas ideas from
you who lived in distant States.
I don't think there is anything
like the Christmas traditions
handed down to us by our moth
ers and grandmothers. Things
like waiting for the first Christ
mas card to arrive before get
ting out the huge box of fabu-
lous decorations and waiting
until Christmas (not before)
eve to put up the tree might
be interesting to us all.

DILL PICKLES.

MRS. H. c.. Siluer. Spring.
I am submitting for you my
easy recipe for dill pickles. Last
year ! looked through all my
cookbooks and those Of my
friends but could not find good
recipe. Finally friend gave
me this one and I have used it
and it is just fine. Out of my
garden this summer I canned
IL quarts Of lovely pickles. It
Is a German recipe. / grow my
own dill. too.
Boil together and let cool a
little 6 quarts water. cup salt.
IL quarts vinegar. Wash
pickles. dry and pack in clean
jars with a bunch Of fresh dill

powdered alum on tip of knife
(alum size of a beam. An
eighth Of a small hot pepper
may be used if so desired. Pour
brine over pickles in jars and

have cut down the amount
of brine to l quart water, 3
tablespoons salt and l cup vine
gar.
Usually I put up 2 or 3
quarts at a time only. since I
picked out my garden daily.
However, when you have a large
amount of pickles already on
hand the large amount of brine
should be made up.
1t only takes about 10 to is
minutes in the boiling water
(processing) so keep watch
on the pickles. They turn color.
Remember pickles must be not
over "a hours old to pickle. This
year in l jar, I added l Glove
garlic and some mustard seed.
just to see if it improves the
flavor. Also remember some
yinegars are more sour than
others and next year I may
add some sugar to my brine.
I do prefer this method of can
ming pickles to any others I
have tried. They never spoil.

KEY WEST.
MRS. p. X, HyGttsuille)

3A4o - &5s ~ x1ASC4 ACQAAAAS
the recent reply to your query
about Key West, I am forced to
tell you of some of the delightful
aspects Of that quaint city. We
have lived in q dozen different
spots and our family unani-
mously places Key West at the
head of the list and hope that
future orders will take us back
there.
True. the climate is hot, but
there Is only about a 10 or Is
degree variance throughout the
year. and other than so-called
rainy season. there is very little
humidity making the heat much
more bearable than these Dis
trict summers. Because of the
smallness Of island there is
usually breeze to make things
more pleasant. At this time Of
the year, would suggest some
fall clothing, a light coat will
be necessary at night. My chill
dren made out for 3 years with
sweaters in this season, a few
flannel shirts for really cool
days--but spent the rest of the
year in shorts or just diapers for
the baby.
II you sew at all, many of
your clothing problems will be
solved by whipping up sun
dresses and such. There are a
few good stores. though an order
catalogue is q must and the
dime and hardware stores are
well stocked. The trip to Miami
Is fun to take for a change and
more heavy buying.
AS for recreation, that is one
Of the incest parts. Fishing,
tennis, golf and swimming all
year around. The Navy colony
is quite sociable and there are
pools on the bases and one or
two municipal beaches.
Housing is no worse in Key
West than anywhere else.
Since our departure last year,
I hear that a new key has been
built up into naval housing
and doubt if we would recognize
the place for all the apartments
that have gone up. Tourist
season in any resort town is
expensive but I don't think
year. round rates are any higher
than this area. The various mil
itary organizations have hous-
ing offices to aid you and there
are many realtors in town also.
I wouldn't hesitate to go straight
down, put up at a motel and
keep checking the papers and
realtors until you find a place.
There are two private Catho-
Tic schools, new Lutheran
school besides the usual city
schools. There are, at least, two
good nursery schools available
although I believe that the
only kindergartens are private.
The smallness of the town
makes any spot accessible by
car in minutes. The Navy does
a pretty good job of controlling
the mosquitoes which are bad
in their season. However, this
is true Of any Southern town.
The town itself. is quaint and
rustic. much fun to explore and
the outlying area is bursting
with new modern homes. After
you are. settled, just relax and
enjoy the casualness of the
place and I'm sure you'll hate
to leave there. If I can help
you in any other way, don't
hesitate to write me through
this column. I am hoping that
you've received a more opti-
mistic picture of your destina-
ton and am certain that some
one will aid us through RICH
when our next move is foresee-
able.

Heavily Armed Police \ Quell Riots In Negro
 Section s. African City

PORT ELIZABETH. South Af- rica, (P)-Heavily armed police ringed New Brighton Township today following weekend riots which left II persons dead, at least 27 injured and great pro- perty damage in the Negro sec ton.
 The township, a part of Port Elizabeth housing 40,00O Negroes, was quiet today after the orgy of violence, footing and arson Sat urday. ...... ~..-
 Before gun-firing police were able to restore order Saturday night, a New Brighton post office, a large motion picture theater, five shops and stores and many automobiles were damaged. The railway station and municipal buildings were badly damaged
 Trouble flared first at the sta ton when railway police tried to arrest two Negroes on charges of theft. Bystanders attacked police, and the police opened fire to dis perse them. Later a bigger mob returned to the attack.
 The crowds famed out, burn ing and footing buildings and set ting fire to cars and trucks. At one time during the riot, about 5000 negroes fought a running battle with the police.

Vishinsky Repeats Red
 Demand For Korea Truce

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (P) Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky Saturday repeated Communist demands for an im- mediate truce in Korea on terms which the United Nations repeat edly rejected.
 The acid tongued Kremlin dip lomat spoke at crowded gather ing of top officials, including US. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, who had expected thorough air ing of new Communist world pol icy as drawn up by the recent Moscow party congress.
 Acheson listened intently as Vishinsky. charged that JUN. re- fusal to return all prisoners was merely screen for a policy of extermination" of the Korean people.
 "The American government" he said, obviously does not want to end the war in Korea" and went on to repeat old Russian claims that the Korean war was being run for the benefit of Am erican billionaires" who were reaping tremendous profits" from the fighting.
 The Korean war was necessary, Vishinsky charged, pointing his finger toward the front row where Acheson sat, to prevent a collapse of the American capital ist economy.

Camera Club Has
 Fun at Dexter
Reported by Eleanor Ludbrook

nePC1IeO OY 6leduOI LuooiOOk
 The Mukluk Camera Club is speedily becoming an organization with a future just as rosy as anti cipated by it's founder, Lou Oliver Lou, secretary treasurer of the club, says it's all the outcome of a dream she had two years ago "a dream wherein she was at- tired in a flimsy garment of silver bromide and was being chased by Daguerre, the father of photo graphy. That the dream didn't turn into a nightmare is attested to by the steadily increasing membership.
 Every Thursday evening at o'clock at the Oliver Studio, the club meets to discuss and criticize slides and snapshots made in the past, and, because of the interest ing and progressive data that is passed back and forth, boredom withdraws in disgust. This coming Thursday marks the opening of the clubs own studio which will make it possible to have classes in developing, finishing, and print ing of their own rollS and film packs. Then will come the fun of creating from a bad negative, good print by using the proper paper and developer and learning the thousand tricks which marks success or failure in every hobby or business.
 Last week the clubs entertain ment secretary, Eleanor Lud- brook mapped out a Sunday out ing at Dexter. Hap Lancaster, the clubs president and sparkplug of any meeting, was the only man in the gang who successfully resisted the lure of Isaac Walton. The rest went fishing. But the manner in which Bill Milhause and his charming wife fried those luckless beauties, left nothing to be desired in the way of ending a perfect day in the open. And Hap, by the way, ate more than his share. Sydney and Glenda Porter of the GAIA de clared they hadn't had 50 much fun since leaving the Lone Star State to come to Alaska, while Pat Reese, between hiking with Eleanor and keeping the bonfire warm, says When du we eat:' Bob Oliver fished successfully and Lou also fished. Harrt Lu.i?l ouf made an abortive attempt but so. n gave il up when he discovered his p3le--fashioned from piece of Bud Harper's quarter round - didn't have the necessary whip and scared all the fish away.
 Those of you who read this peice of abortive journalism will perhaps wonder whether the clubs activities pertain to fun, photography, or fishing, but this author wishes to assure you that the club is sincere in it's endeavor to bring a little life to Nome's interesting past by depicting her contemplating future in the color full language of photography.
