about that?
What with flu taking a heavy
toll among the principals, the cast

BLACK LINOLEUM.

BLACK LINOLEUM.
mrs. w. w. E., Churchto1, Md
I, too, have black linoleum on
the kitchen floor and for two
years went through the dis
couraging work of trying to
keep it looking nice. Then I
tried a wipe-on plastic coat
and since then it has been so
much better.
Perhaps the reason you
didn't get satisfactory results
from the plastic coat was be-
cause the linoleum wasn't
completely free of wax and
the manufacturers finish.
The linoleum must be gone
over with steel wool and a
cleaning fluid first. Then I
put on three coats Of plastic
three nights in a row. Do not
wax. It is the wax that holds
the foot prints and other
marks. From time to time a
fresh coat of plastic may be
applied, making sure there is
no grease on the floor.
Our linoleum has looked so
much better during the past
three or four years that I'm
satisfied with the plastic coat
ing and have never waxed it
since.

Mrs. Luce's Role in Rome

An official explanation from the Vatican
that no chief of diplomatic mission accredited
to the Italian government can engage In diplo-
matte activity with the Holy See should set at
rest the speculation that Mrs. Glare Luce, to be
named as Ambassador to Rome, will be called
upon to play dual role. Because Of the differ
ence OF opinion which always has surrounded
our formal relationship with the Vatican. it was
speculation that tended to cloud the merit Of
Mrs Luces appointment.
In James Dunn and, later, in Ellsworth
Bunker, the United States has had able diplo-
matte representation before the Italian govern
ment in recent critical years. Ambassador Dunn
was credited with playing an important part
in helping defeat strong Communist effort In
the Italian elections several years ago. Italy
has done much to revive its own economy and
to assume strong position in the West Euro
pean community since then. New italian cleo
tions are scheduled this spring and Mr.. Bunker
is expected to remain ut his post until then.
Although women have not gained promi-
nence in Italy's politics or diplomacy, Mrs.
Luce's appointment has been approved by the
Italian government and hailed by much Of the
Italian press. Mrs. Luce has achieved distinc-
ton as an author and as member of Con-
gress. Her proved abilities, and her versatility,
would indicate that she win be competent
Ambassador.

Supply the Work First

Senator Case says that an important
reason to increase the number of Commissioners
is to enable them to do more work. Does he
plan to make the work for them to do? If so,
why not make the work first and find out If
three Commissioners can do it? That would be
more logical than first soaking the unrepre-
sented taxpayers of this city with a bill for
about $4,000, with which to hire two more
Commissioners and supply them with the
personnel and equipment that 60 with the
Office, and then find there is no more work for
them to do.
Somebody has dug up for Senator Case the
interesting statistic that no city of 100000 or
more population has city council as small as
three members.
Another statistic: Washington is the only
city in the country (of more than 100000 popu
lation or less than 500 900 population) governed
under the Constitution by 96 Senators and 435
Representatives, composing the Congress Of the

One Of the most neglected of our
garden birds is the brown creeper.
He is small, but not as small as one
is likely to think, he is so unassuming
and modest in his creeping.
Actually. he seems to creep mostly
because his legs are short.
He goes along the trunk of tree,
often with comrade of another spe-
cies. This chum is the downy wood
pecker, beauty in its own right.
Together. the brown creeper and the
little woodpecker make a fine team,
each getting grubs from the tree bark
that the other could not touch.
The creeper is 524 inches long. His
upper parts are brown, with slight
streaks of gray-white; his underparts,
dull white.
The bill is slender, sharp and curved
downward. 1t looks strong enough, but
is weak. and this makes it impossible
fol, the creeper to get insects the wood
pecker can md.
The ends of the feathers are stiffened
and pointed. and it is with the help Of
these that the bird clings so closely to
bark.
It takes the smallest insects and eggs.
those commonly overlooked by larger
species. Scales and plant lice are its
favorite food, so that it may be seen to
be q most welcome garden aid.
It's take Of alternating insects Is
large.
In addition. the ereeper eats small
spiders and their eggs. These are mostly
missed By other birds.

before they can come out and do any
damage.
It is said that the downy woodpecker
helps disseminate the seeds Of poison
ivy. But so do q great many other
species.
Whatever may be said against the
poison ivy by humans, it is q great
friend Of the birds, giving them food
when they can scarcely find anything
else to eat.
The other day scientist announced
that he had discovered just what it Ii
in the poison ivy exudate that causes
the suffering.
This may, in time, develop into a
real help to countless human beings.
both young and old, who now suffer
much misery from ivy and oak poison
ing.
Until then, the best thing to do Is to
learn to identify the plant and to keep
away from it, If possible. Probably 30
per cent Of the poison ivy cases are un-
necessary, and could be avoided with
q little knowledge and care.
In the meantime, poison ivy serves
q real purpose in the world, if it helps
feed such fine bird specimens as the
downy woodpecker and others. 1t Is
part Of natures great chain of life, and
cannot be judged solely from the hui
man standpoint. One hears people say,
What good is poison ivy. anyway" or
II don't know why God made poison
ivy" but all one has to do to answer
that question Ii to look at q downy
woodpecker.
