QUERIES AND HINTS.

mrs. E. C. H.. WGsltinoton.J
Will some one please let me
know a satisfactory method
of washing feather pillows?
Having three small children,
my problem Of keeping pillows
clean and sweet smelling Is not
an occasional job.
Last summer some liquid
insecticide dripped down on a
blue turkish towel. Any idea
on its removal? The odor Is
still quite strong.
The woman who wrote the
household schedule "as it
really is" explained the day
for mothers of several pre-
schoolers very well. I enjoyed
tit was so much like some
of my days.
Do you find it better to in
sist on children playing up
stairs in the bedroom in order
to keep q cleaned up living
room, or is it better to let them
play in the living room?
I have q few suggestions to
pass on. In bad weather.
playpen can be turned on side
and clothes draped over bars
for additional drying space.
When soap box is empty, run
q little hot water into box,
swish around and there will
be enough suds left to wash
out hose.
Pin a pair Of socks to chill
dren's dress or suits and you'll
have matching socks. espe-
cially for dress clothes. The
remainder of the socks can be
left for daily wear.

DOLL CLOTHES PATTERNS
Mrs. o. B. j.. Siluer Spring.
Do any Of your readers know
Of any patterns available for
clothes for those little 8-inch
undressed dolls that are avail
able in the department stores?
I have tried to get one but have
been told they are not made in
the popular name patterns. It
seems to me that I have seen
one advertised, either in a
newspaper or magazine pat
tern. However, it has been so
long ago that I cannot recall
where or when.
While I can follow a ready
made pattern, I haven't the
slightest idea how to design
one Of my own. If any of your
readers have any suggestions
along this line I'll be grateful.

Mrs. G. H. p, Hillcrest Hts. Nd.
This is my flrst stab at writ
ing to RICH though a constant
reader. Wonder If I could edge
q few words in, or call 1t an
SOS to parents who may be
interested as I in the type Of
programs our children see on
TV. First let me explain I am
not an extremist on programs
my children. watch. yet I do
tactfully try to see that many
are weeded out-in preference
to more special ones! Just re.
Gently Bible Stories which ap-
peared on q familiar network
at IL noon has been taken OIL
We wrote the station for a re-
turn of it. however one voice
may not be sufficient. It seems
during these wintry days with
so much illness and so many
Of our children out Of school,
it is pathetic If they do turn
to TV to view some of the
programs that are on-when
so much better could be offered
to benefit their little minds,
than the usual run of ole
timers that offer little to their
spiritual or mental growth!
II you agree, not only about
Bible Stories. but for more
wholesome material on TV
why not do something
about It?
DENVER?
mrs. A. E., Wdshington.D
First. many thanks to all the
nice ladies who sent in adj
dresses for sending clothing to
Korea. I really appreciated it.
Now, perhaps. some persons
who have lived in Denver,
Colo, or that vicinity could
give me some information as
to climate: Snow, rain. tenn
perature. ETC., so that I could
get an idea as to what to ex.
pect. I anticipate a move there
this spring or summer. I would
also like to know what section
would be suitable for q person
with q very moderate income
having two children Of pre-
school age. I should prefer to
get a small house II possible.
as I plan to take my furniture
with me. In any case, I would
rent. not buy, at the beginning.
Are there any nursery schools
available that are good, so the
mother could work? In other
words, I would very much ap-
preciate any information from
you good readers.

In Robbery-Bea

An ex-convict was under arrest

beating a 38-year-old man while
holding him captive for five
hours in New York avenue

Police, meanwhile, were search
ing for a second man, who, they

the incident:
The victim, Clarence L. Hay
wood of 1854 Columbia road

rant at Eighth and K streets

was approached by a man who
struck up a conversation.
He told Mr.. Haywood, who is
an employe of the Keystone
Readers Service, 724 Ninth
street NV, that he was looking
for a job. Mr.. Haywood said
there was a possibility he might
be hired as salesman.
The man then invited Mr..
Haywood to come to his rooms
in the 900 block of Ninth street
NV. to talk it over. After they
arrived second man-later
identified as Bluster-got out of
bed, and the two men hit Mr..
Haywood in the face and took
$210 from his wallet.
Mr.. Haywood told police he
was forced to lie on the bed
from about 2 to Z pm.
The men, he said, then packed
their bags and let him go, after
warning him not to contact
