Readers Clearing House
Conducted BY BETSY CASWELL
ROUND STEAK?
REMOVING OIL?

(MrS. W. d. s., Arlington
I have some requests for
some of your wonderful read
ers who are always so ready
with all the answers. First,
I have to say that / eagerly
await the arrival of the eve
ming paper, and turn to your
wonderful column the first
thing.
I would like some recipes for
preparing round steak, such as
Swiss steak, etc. I don't like
my way of fixing Swiss steak,
and I thought some of you
might have different and bet
ter ways to suggest.
Does any one know a method
of removing machine oil from
hardwood floors without ruin
ing the finish. We oiled our
electric fan and then put it on
the floor. Some of the oil soak
ed into the wood.
I have a hint for defrost-
ing your freezer that you
might find helpful. I dreaded
for months defrosting my
freezer and then finally hit
on the idea to use the hair
dryer to melt the frost. 1t
worked like a charm. AS the
frost was softened, 1 used my
scraper to take it off the walls
of the chest. I kept a bucket
on the floor by the freezer and
as I took off the frost I just
put it in the bucket. I never
allowed any frost to melt en-
tirely only enough to Scrape it
off. I kept a sponge ready to
soak up any moisture from the
bottom of the chest. Thus, a
long-dreaded job of defrost-
ing was done in a jiffy and
without a mess. I hope this
idea works as well for you.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

wv D. L. w az AftGHSLNT6/
For the lady who wanted to
know of a place to get her
scissors sharpened, there is an
excellent sharpening service
on New York avenue listed In
the telephone directory yellow
pages under Sharpening Serv-
ices.
For the lady who has brown
spots on her linoleum floor. I
have successfully removed
some by the use of ammonia
undiluted for several minutes
and then rubbing with a mop.
Care must be taken not to get
too close to the fumes of am
monia or other strong liquid
cleaners such as bleacheS
which also may be used. The
surrounding area may become
a little light in color but in
a short time will blend with
the untreated area. Your col
umn is marvellous.

EGG OMELET

MRS. w. B. B., StrGSburg, Va
This egg omelet came to me
all the way from Brussels, Bel
gium, and it is just the kind
you asked about:
Beat four whole eggs with a
wire whisk. Add salt to suit
your taste. Put two level table,
spoons cornstarch into a cup,
add gradually enough milk to
make " cup. Stir until corn
starch is dissolved, add to eggs,
beat thoroughly. and turn into
a generously buttered iron skill
let, medium hot. Don't try to
cook this omelet too fast. The
slow cooking makes it good.
Prick holes in the bottom as
the eggs cook. lifting a little
to let the uncooked egg mix
ture run through the holes.
Continue cooking until firm
and spread with any desired
filling or leave plain. Fold and
lift from skillet. Il use two
spatulas.) A filling Of chicken
livers broiled in butter, then
chopped and spread over the
omelet with a gravy made from
the pan drippings makes dish
for the gods. Jelly is good with
it too, or cheese.
AS far as I am concerned,
RICH and Pogo rate alike. I
wouldn't miss either Of them.
Thanks so much for all the
help I have gotten from this
column for nine years Il

Marks ON L1NOLEUM?

(MrS. A. w., WGSHIIgLoHJ
I have a problem which I
hope one of your smart and
generous readers can solve.
Recently, I purchased a plastic
type of flooring for my kitchen.
which is relatively easy to
keep clean. However. my
chrome kitchen chairs the
bottoms of which are shaped
something like an IS" scratch
the light colored plastic and
causes black marks to appear.
These can be only partly
washed off.
Short of replacing the chair,
which I'd rather not do be-
cause of the expense involved,
could someone come to my
rescue with a good and bright
idea. Is there perhaps a type
of rubber disk that could be
put into the chrome with a
screw or is there rubber rum
ner that could be pasted on?
Any suggestions will be CRATE
fully accepted and tried.
Everything that could be said
for this wonderful column has
already been said. so I will
just say, thank you.
