BOXES FOR KOREA.

&SSxAA1A0 &S4t 4AN2AbA1GAs
mrs. NJ. J. r.. SilDer Spring.
In answer to Mrs. N. r. g.,
concerning boxes for Korea.
My husband has been in Korea
Is months and I hope my ex-
perience will help you.
I usually wrap cookies in wax
paper. put in a tin can (such as
coffee or shortening CAM and
seal with transparent tape.
Occasionally, If I am very busy
and don't have time to bake ]
buy a brand which comes
packed in a tin can already
and they are appreciated as
well. They like the luxury
canned meats and nuts and
any kind of cheese. If it is in a
box or container I usually send
it as is.
Last summer he especially
asked for a powdered drink
consisting Of 2 names, starting
with K and A. In the section
where he is paper is more pre-
cious than money, so ! always
include envelopes and writing
paper. Since I send boxes so
often I can't afford to send
many Air Mail and only do that
for special occasions or if he
has requested something right
away. I send regular mail. not
First Glass, and as yet haven't
been told of any restrictions as
to size or weight. It takes be-
tween 8 and 6 weeks for the
boxes to reach him and they
have always gotten there in
good condition Good. also). and
none have ever been lost. but
I always insure the packages.
Reading material is very
scarce and I usually send the
pocket size editions, and they
read almost anything to pass
the time on off duty hours so
don't worry about your selec-
tions. Anything "your" service
man doesn't like or want will
be appreciated by one of the
others because as you probably
know, they share or trade
everything, so don't fret too
much about whether he will
like certain things or if every
thing is his favorite.
Now for my questions, several
months ago, before I realized
I'd be interested I saw a gadget
advertised which fits into the
bathtub to hold small children
safely in a sitting position for
their bath. I believe it was
fastened to the tub by suction
cups. I'd like to know if any
of you readers could tell me
if it would be worth while for
my 8 month old boy.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.
mrs. A. D., Arlington
Mrs. e. S. NJ, Washington:
Here are a few helpful sugges-
tions that might assist you in
removing the grease from your
colored dress. At least none Of
them will be harmful to try, but,
since the dress has been washed,
I cannot say that they will do
the job.
Cd Apply talcum powder or
cornStarch and let stand for an
hour or more. Brush.
(2) Fullers earth is always
recommended for r m OWN g
grease. Follow directions on the
package.
60 Apply any vegetable Short
ening and let stand for an hour
or better. Wash. have used
the vegetable shortening for
dirty collars and cuffs and vari-
Gus other grease marks, and have
found it most satisfactory.
If your grease spot is from
dropping mayonnaise. I doubt
very much if you will ever be
able to remove 1t.

CRIB MATTRESS;
CLEANING GLOVES;
DISHWASHER AND DISPOSAL
UNITS.
Mrs. J. F. p, Arlington)

mrs. J. r. r., ArIingt0n)
VIII those Of you who have
used the crib mattress in the
; back seat of a car when travel
ing with small children please
help me with some Of my ques-
tionS? First Of all, how did you
I'LL in the space between the
mattress and the back of the
front seat? We drive with the
front seat pulled quite far for
ward and this leaves a space
of about eight inches between it
and the mattress. Also, how did
you ventilate the back seat when
the children were so near the
window level? What precau-
tions can you recommend with
regard to locking the back
doors? Did this method Of
travel prove satisfactory with a
child who is prone to car sick
ness or winding roads.
I should also like to ask those
OF you who have moved cross
country what you have found to
be the best system concerning
food upon your arrival. Is it
advisable to take cooking and
eating utensils along in the car
since the furniture probably
won't arrive as soon as we. Any
other helpful suggestions for
making our move a pleasant one
will be deeply appreciated.
Mrs. j. E. M, Kensington:
To clean white pigskin gloves, I
have found the following to be
the best method: Put them on
your hands and wash in warm
water and mild soap suds.
use a fngernail brush to scrub
gently the seams and soiled
spots on the finger tips, etc.
Wiring out ever so gently, then
stretch to shape, place in a
towel and press out as much
water as possible. Hang up to
dry by laying over a clothes line.
If you have glove forms they
help. As they dry. they will
turn from grey to yellow. While
still damp. stretch to size and
this will restore their lovely
white color. I've done both pig
skin and washable kid gloves
this way for years and never
had q failure.
To the lady who asked about
electric diShwaSher and dis
posal units. By all means have
them If you can. I rinse my
breakfast and lunch dishes and
put them in the dishwasher.
then add the dinner dishes and
wash them all at once. Since
our two children are small and
still use the plastic baby dishes.
I am actually washing dishes
for two adults and can. there
fore, put my pans into the same
load. It's a great convenience.
AS for garbage disposal units,
they are marvellous. They will
take anything that will fit into
the opening. Heavy bones take
a little longer to grind up, but
they do go through. The only
thing you can't put in are corn
silk and corn husks as these
shred and while they go through
the unit, they clog up your
pipes further on. We've had no
trouble with the trap on our
sink at all. Just run sufficient
water through while the unit is
operating and all will be car
ried down. Whether or not you
can use a disposal unit on a
septic tank system is something
you would have to ask the deal
or a reliable plumber.
I've taken up a great deal Of
space here with my requests
and answers, but if ! may. I
should like to thank all of you
who have made the RICH such
a help and pleasure. shall

SOLUTION TO PROBLEM?
mrs. H. II. B., HydttSvilleJ
IF any readers have encoun-
tered this problem and can
recommend a solution; it would
be greatly appreciated. My hus-
band and I obtained an uphol-
stored three-piece living-room
suite which has a rubberized
backing on the fabric.
We noticed a very disagree
able odor from the furniture
which we assumed would dis
appear in a few weeks. It still
persists, however, and the suite
is now five months old. The
manufacturer said it might be
from the dyes in the fabric
light grey, 2-piece sofa and deep
red chair. However, we believe
it is from the rubberized back
ing, as it smells like stale rub
ber and is particularly notice.
able during periods Of high hu-
midity and heat.
Does any one know of a de-
odoriZing spray which would not
injure the fabric, or any other
remedial measure? Thank you!
KNOTTING THREAD.
mrs. D. M. B., Arlington)
Mrs. A. B. l., Falls Church:
If, when your thread knots, you
will break it and start again by
knotting the opposite end, you
will find it helps a great deal.
Another way to avoid this
trouble is to knot the end that
comes off the spool f1rst-that is
thread your needle as it comes
of the spool, then be sure to
knot, that end. There is some
thing about the way the thread
is woven on the spool at the
factory that causes knotting if
the thread is used running the
wrong way. Hope this helps you.

HOMEMADE WINE?
mrs. L. M. Riverdale)
Will some Of the readers Of

pecially want blackberry, rasp-
berry and grape wine. I want
the kind that does not call for
too much sugar. We do not like

Benjamin Fitzpatrick co-owner

wrecked on the Macarthur
Causeway in Miami, Thursday.
The hotel owner was trying to

wound up hooked around a steel
pole, like a '.jackknife."
Fitzpatrick picked up his brief
case and walked out Of the man.

the head, knee cuts, and bruises.
He went to jackson Memorial
hospital for stitches. but today is
back at The Key Wester, feeling
fine.
The car is good for nothing. q
total loss, the garage told him.
Alone in the car al the time,
Fitzpatrick cannot explain the
miracle that saved him from se-
rious injury. He was not even
badly shocked by the compre-
hensive srnash-up.
