sirable suburbs close to or easily
accessible from the center of the

I would like to find a place

FEEDING PROBLEM.

MRS. G. v. S., Washington
Mrs. j. S., Vienna: When my
grown children were little I had
the same problem as vegetables
were not given until they were
old enough to notice the taste
and definitely object to it.
knowing that almost anything
tastes good when one is hungry,
I told them that the meat and
potatoes or whatever were not
quite ready, but if they liked they
could have the vegetable to start
on. It worked very well, es-
pecially when I at first dressed
up the vegetable by Sprinkling
on them some buttered bread
crumbs. When vegetables were
almost finished. the meat and
potatoes were given. They soon
got used to the vegetables and
then / went back to the usual
way of serving. I hope this will

here is an item that I can at last

Mrs. j. S., Vienna: Our two

meatloaf and potatoes. So I
mixed strained spinach with
pancake batter (sounds "Icky,"
but they were delicious; I
mixed strained carrots with
hamburger, and in meat loaf I
mixed various strained vege-
tables with beef broth to flavor.
I'm certain Mrs. j. S., will
think Of many more similar
dishes her 2-year-old likes that
she can mix in this way.

COOKING PROBLEM?

mrs. T. B. H., LGndoUer Hills)
It is my understanding that
as a battery charges itself from
regular use, a refrigerator is
kept in better working order If
used continuously. On this
premise, my husband and I
regulated permission to utilize
our own refrigerator in a local
apartment development where
the appliance was customarily
provided by the management.
The refrigerator belonging to
the apartment was removed;
however, no rent discount was
granted.
Can any one help me with q
cooking problem? I'm prone to
over season Mexican and Ital-
ian dishes when I haven't time
to measure properly. I know
salt accentuates natural flavors,
sugar sweetens and lemon juice
neutralizes a too-sweet concoc-
ton while adding a tang. Is
there any antidote for an over
dose of the pepper family?

Board asked yesterday.

By Moi. Thomos M. Mol

It's as simple as 1928 to tell
a widow of a World War I vet
eran whether it's worthwhile for
her to apply to the Veterans Ad-
ministration for a pension.
It's that simple because three
broad and very plain require
ments must be met for her to be
eligible. Whether the pension
will be granted is something else.
The VA makes its own judgment.
The first requirement is that
the veteran must have been dis
charged under other than dis
honorable conditions after at
least 80 days Of active duty. II
he served less than 80 days, he
must have been discharged be-
cause Of a service connected dis
ability. Some Of the service must
have been between April 6, 1917,
and November II. 1918-or April
/, 1920, If he was on duty in
Russia.
Income Requirement.
The second requirement is that
the widow must have been mar
ried to the veteran before De-
cember IA. 1914, or for at least 10
years before he died. She must
have lived with the vet continu-
ously until his death unless they
were separated through no fault
of the widow. If she starts draw
ing a pension and then remarries,
she loses it. Otherwise she may
continue to draw it as long as
she lives and continues to meet
the third requirement, which is
That her other yearly income
be less than $1,400 if she has no
dependents or $2,700 If she has
dependents. Some things which
would be considered income for
tax purposes aren't considered
income by the VA.
Here's a broad idea Of what
the VA considers income:
/. Wages. salaries, bonuses,
earnings, investments, rents,
after taxes have been taken out.
2. Commercial life insurance
payments.
3. Income from any source be-
cause of unemployment or re-
tirement.
4. Proceeds from bequests or
inheritances. Property received
this way won't count until it's
converted into cash, however)
Exceptions to Income.
Here's an idea Of what doesn't
count as income:
/. Any payment made by the
VA, including the widows pen
sion payment.
2. Government life insurance
payments.
8. Overtime or additional COM
pensation to Government en-
ployes.
The monthly payment to q
widow is $48 If she has no chill
dren. It's $50 If the widow has
one child and $7.20 additional
for each other child. Considered
a child for such purposes is one
who is unmarried and under 18,
or under 81 if attending school
or college. The only instance in
which a child over 81 is counted
for pension purposes is the case
of a child totally disabled at age
16 and still disabled.
There's one other thing to re-
member about a World War I
widows pension. It is paid only
after the death Of a veteran who
has died from q cause which has

Pope Marks 18th Birthday

Rome to the patrician Pacelli

March 2, 1889.
His last year has been one Of
the most strenuous since then,
marked by the elevation Of "a
new cardinals to the sacred col
lege and the mounting antago-
nism of world communism.
The Pope created the new
cardinals January IL in the Sec
ond great consistory Of his reign
and, for the first time in two
centuries, brought the college to
a full membership of 10.
At the end of the week Of
arduous ceremonies, the slender,
fragile pontih appeared tired and
worn. and a few days later, on
January a., he took to bed with
the first serious illness Of his
reign.
Despite his age, the Pope over
came the dual attack Of influenza
and pneumonia and has been re-
covering steadily. He has not
yet resumed his audiences. how
ever.
Vatican sources said today that
pontif1cal mass will be held
March IL, the anniversary of the
Pope's coronation, and that he
may attend this function. It
probably will be held in the Sis
