Jam Stockyards
AT Baltimore
Drought and Holiday
Halt in Operations
Is Cause Of PiIe-Up
BY the Assoeiussd Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 5.-About
1900 head of cattle were jammed
into Union Stockyards here to-
day, waiting for the market to
reopen Tuesday after the long
holiday weekend.
Lawrence Halter, president Of
the stockyards, said a number
of reasons contributed to the
jam.
Heat and drought conditions
the past 10 days led growers, par
ticularly in Virginia and West
Virginia, to send their animals
to market in unusually large
numbers.
Packing houses bit of sales
suddenly late in the week so they
would not have to carry cattle
over the holiday period.
Beef has been moving slowly
at retail outlets.
The 1900 head on hand are
by no means a record. The pens
were crowded with 5000 animals
earlier in the week, the largest
supply since last october.
Mr.. Halter said many cattle
men rushed their animals 20
market because the hot sun had
scared pastures. With no grass
to Craze them on, it was either
buy feed or market them, and
the growers were reluctant to
spend money for feed in the face
of lower cattle prices.
The stockyards president also
reported many cattlemen are
fearful that prices will go even
lower and so rushed to market
the stock they had on hand
Prices already are running 20
to so per cent below q wear aro

of Shells" In Maine there are
huge oyster shell mounds, left by
the Red Men Of long ago.
So if you think that the oyster
men take it easy during the r.

greatly mistaken. It is a time OF

TO WHITEN NYLON:
STICKING DRAWERS:
CHIPPEn ENAMEL.

fMrS. G. D. H., Mount RainierJ
Re your problem of getting
your husbands nylon stock
ingS white. I went through
the same problem until I
learned that bleach only turns
nylons yellow and the only way
to restore whiteness was to
use lots of bluing. It is best
to do all your nylons separate
and use an extra amount of
bluing. They will almost look
blue when you wiring them out
but you will be amazed at the
change in them. Good luck.
For your sticking drawers,
may I suggest rubbing all
sides and bottoms of all draw
ers with a candle. Where
there is a mark of definite
sticking apply an extra coat
to both sides. I have found
this most successful.
For your Clipped enamel
may I recommend a new
product out in a pencilNbrush
form that covers scratches in
enamel and most other white
kitchen finishes. The name is

FROSTING?
BLACKBERRY JAM?
FRUIT PIES,

BLACKBERRY JAM!
FRUIT PIES.
mrs. r. G. Y, Rockville)
I read your column every
evening and enjoy it very
much. A novel and very help
full addition to a newspaper.
I have several requests and
o suggestion for fruit pies.
First of all. could some one
give me the froSting recipe
that bakeries use for decorat-
ing their cakes? It tastes like
a vegetable shortening and
sugar to me, and is better than
the too-sweet powdered sugar
butter and milk one my decor
ating set gives.
Also. does any one have a
good blackberry jam recipe?
We have them growing wild
all over our as-yet-undeveloped
one-acre yard.
AS for the fruit pies, have
a basic recipe for my apple.
cherry and peach pies that I
believe could be used for al
most any fruit pie, open or
closed.
First, make up your bottom
crust and place it in the pie
pan. Then add "a cup of flour
and "a cup of sugar and mix
together. q usually put them
both in the same cup to save
time, measures u cup). Then
add your fruit. If it is a
canned or frozen fruit with
Juice, be sure and mix the
Sugar-f1our mixture with the
juice and fruit and teaspoon,
stirred lightly in the crust will
do the trick. Then add u to
l cup of sugar depending on
your sweet tooth or tartneSS Of
fruit. If it's an open pie, dot
generously with oleo or butter.
If closed, put top crust on,
make holes for steam and bake
as usual. If you make an open
apple pie. sprinkle the apples
until we'll covered with Gin
namon just before you add the
butter or oleo. This all melts
in and gives a much Spicier
taste. The flour with the
sugar. (and the oleo or butter
on open pies) make them
more like taffy than the pud-
ding effect of cornstarch which
is usually called for. Try it and
I think you'll like it better.
And it's so much easier and
faster than having to check a
recipe for each different fruit,
or cook on top of the stove
first. etc.

Oysternnen Busy

This is the season of the ex-

that period the oysters are trans

VENEZUELA?
MAKING STOLE

Mrs. E. D. p, Silver Spring.
My family is contemplating
a move to Venezuela in the
near future.
I would greatly appreciate
any information about that
country, particularly the larger
cities.
I'd like to know about the
climate, housing conditions,
servants, elementary schools,
the predominant language
spoken there, the cost of living
in general. and also about
items which are hard to at
tain there.
Here is a little something I
should like to contribute to
the readers Of RICH.
I priced jeweled stoles in
many of the stores and found
them quite expensive.
I finally decided to make one
for myself.
I purchased 1R yards of
black velveteen (Which is 36
inches wide). I folded this on
the wrong side down the mid
die. had several broken
strings of pearls and one pair
OF crystal beads, with which I
planne; to make a jeweled
flower design.
I used two lovely pearl but
tons I had, for the center Of
the flower and around this I
sewed the small pearls and
crystal beads. I also made
leaves Cor a reasonable facsi-
mlle) around the flower. This
design was on the two front
panels. placed about 10 inches
from the bottom of the ma
terial, and just about the mid
die of the hips when worn.
Then I sewed the material
together. thus leaving the
stitches on the inside Of the
stole.
I have received many COM
plimentS on my expensive
looking stole and cost and time
involved are quite small. I
made mine in one day.
