TEENAGE PROBLEM.

| (From Miss p. T., Arlington)
There are few things more i'm
Iportant than religion. Call it a
way of life, single-mindedness or
whatever you will. it is a neces-
sary factor in successful per-
sons life. Even the burglar has
| his code. The mother who is
concerned about her teenager
baking at going to Sunday serv-
ices, has surely instilled some of
her ideas in her offspring. He
will not go from the simple fact
he misses Sunday school, but he
will just as surely go farther if
Ihe goes. God is there where peo-
pile pray. How can we know Him
lit we never go where He is? How
can we like Him if We don't know
Him? Will he do anything for us
if we don't know Him? And He
doesn't know us? If we go to
church services we build faith
which amounts to self confidence,
we all need in times of stress.
We are living in a wonderful
age. Mothers shouldn't lament II
Jack refuses church every Sum
day. We have great assortment
of the finest religious minds in
the world via radio and TV. The
most faithful person I know who
makes faith work better than
anybody I know. never darkens
the door of a church. But her
case is rare, and I am positive
she seldom, if ever, is far from
the infinite.
So the mother of the teen-ager
will do we'll if she keeps on
searching for a philosophy that is
good for her particular child. She
will eventually find something
that takes with him. One cannot
make a horse drink, but you can
make him thirsty. So keep on
trying good mother and more
power 10 you.
Another mother wonders if she
should let her tiny boys fight. All
little boys love to fight. But the
mass here can lay in some ground
work for the big boys, and there
will be less disastrous results if
they instill a few principles. Such
as you don't pick on small peo-
pie, you don't use a weapon as a
coward would do and you don't
gang up unfairly.
Let us pull together to make
this a better world by taking the
middle road and doing what we
can about it.

WINDOW TREATMENT.

from Mrs. J. A. d., Arlington }
This is for Mrs. N. E.. Airing
ton, who asked for advice on
window treatment. I. too. had a
small house and after putting up
glass curtains, decided that they
were too conspicuous in the small
living room. There were venetian
blinds at the windows, and I even
considered not putting up any
curtains or drapeS at all. How
ever, browsing through a hard
ware store one day. in the paint
department, I ran across my an
swer. They were cut out designs
with a gummed back, not trans
fer or decals, and could be had
in many different designs. They
only had to be dampened with a
wet cloth or sponge and put into
place. AS I recall, they come in
sets of seven pieces. each one
medallin for the center. and
three smaller ones to extend on
either side. I chose an ivy pattern
for the living room windows, a
fruit pattern for the dining room
and floral patterns for the bed
rooms. It was very effective and
much admired. Much prettier
than it sounds. Also there was
the saving on wear and tear as
well as not having to wash any
curtains. I pasted the longest
design or medallion above the
window a few inches up on the
wall and arranged the three on
each side so that the last or
smallest one sloped down on each
side of the upper part of the
window.
Another idea, not original. in
treating narrow windows is to-
extend the curtain rods six or
eight inches beyond the sides of
the windows and put up drapes.
OF course, they should be lined,
50 that no light shows.
from Mrs. S. c. c., UpperuilleJ
Mrs. N. E., Arlington: A few
suggestions for your curtains. To
make a narrow window look wide, !
buy drapery traverse rods that
can be elongated. I've used them
on most of my windows and they
are inexpensive. Leave off win
dow curtains or if you wish, put
few inches on the inside edge of
your drapery to look fresh and
dainty. In another house I pasted
wall paper in about two-inch wide
patterns with ivy, around the win
dows and doors. I've also cut bed
spread and in one case a filet
table cloth in half to use as cur
tains. hope this will help you.

I would so much appreciate
discussion of fur coats in connec-

pletely ruined, almost looks singed,
and it has been suggested that
the plastic seat covers in my car
are the cause of it.

from Mrs. A. M, Mount Rainier.
Like all other RICH readers I
also have problem. My problem
is that my pots and pans all have
glass tops. The other night while
cooking and rushing, I picked up
the top and with it being hot, I
laid it on top of the frying pan,
and the results are that it is stuck
tightly. 1t looks as if I am going
to have to break it to be able to
use the frying pan again. Is there
some one of you readers that can
help me to solve my problem so

AMARYLLIS; ROCK GARDENS;
STATE SOCIETY?
(From Mrs. c. L. B.. Arlington)
Mrs. R. B. D., Washington:
About your amaryllis which hasn't
bloomed; perhaps, you have plant
ed it too deeply, the bulb should
not be entirely covered with soil.
AS soon as all danger of frost is
past, set mine outdoors, leave
it in the flower pot, not too much
sun and as rule it blooms in
July. If you have room for it |
BY a sunny window. it should
bloom in February. An amaryllis |
will not bloom until it has six
leaves or more. The leaves die
off quite frequently and new ones
appear.
Mrs. F.. NJ, Takoma Park: Suit
able plants for rock gardens are
Tom Thumb zinnias, Drummond /
dwarf phlox, perennial candytuft,
alyssum, shamrock, grape hya-
cinth and dwarf iris.
Now wonder if some one can ,
come to my rescue. Can any OF /
you readers tell me where I might |
obtain some information about
Joining the Pennsylvania State
Society in Washington?

Cover Crops Check
Splash Erosion

AN inch of rain falling on an
acre of land contains enough ener-
gy to plOw that acre 10 times, or
the equivalent of some 100 horse
power"
That fact, measured by the U. S.
Navy Department, should be
enough to scare most farmers into
keeping their soil covered with
good legume or grass. Cover crops
check this splash erosion which is
common to most types of soils.
says the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service. Splash erosion
causes losses in soil and fertility.
damages soil structure, and can
actually injure plants and animals.
IN certain sections of Tennessee,
cattle are believed to have been
poisoned by grazing on plants
which had been splashed with soils
containing fiOurine.
To check such erosion. and to
improve soil fertility and soil
structure, the Extension Service
recommends growing adapted va
rieties. of cover crops. You, won't
get startling results in one year.
but cover crops plowed under can
build up a soil that produces 40
bushels OF corn per acre, to one
that consistently produces so bu-
shells or higher.
See your county agricultural
agent for recommended cover
crops in Delaware. Offices are in
Georgetown. Dover, and Newark.
