ANSWER TO QUERY
"AIR FORCE TINES?

(Mrs. c. r., Alexandria
To Mrs. B. r. D. in Arling-
ton, may I say that there may
not be a "baby-proof" screen
for your fireplace but there is
the baby-proof play pen in
which he can be confined while
the fireplace is in use. Barring
that you can do what we did
while overseas and used one.
Make a small-Size fence
to go around it. It can be
lifted and put aside to tend the
fire, then returned again and
would probably be more fool
proof than any screen I know
Of on the market, if you plan
to let him roam at will or II
you use the fireplace con-
stantly.
Perhaps some kind reader
may still have a copy of the
Air Force Times for June %
or thereabouts. I would like

CHRISTMAS CANDLE?
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY?
MRS. G. M. p, HyGttSUille)
Since moving to this area,
I have become an avid fol-
lower of the RICH. I have re-
ceived many helpful hints
through your column. I would
like to ask the readers of
RICH for help in making a
Christmas candle. I have
heard of making these large
candles with paraf1n wax. How
do you go about melting this
wax? Can wicks be purchased?
Any help I can receive on this
will be greatly appreciated.
Another problem on which
am asking help is the clean
ing of the upholstery on two
chairs. These chairs are pres
emily covered with a Satin-like
material. Has any one had any
experience in cleaning material
of this kind? Would it be more
practical to reupholster them?

] Now we propose to keep track
of this record, and at the end of
the thirty days with the Ann
Delafield course, we are going to
show that Sylvia has become an
enviable size IA, instead of the Is
she was when she went shopping
last Saturday.
This morning for breakfast, Syl-
via had one whole orange, and
she ate it all, even the thin white
skin. She also had one cup Of
black coffee with no sugar or
cream. Of course, she was very
hungry, but she is very determined
to get thin, and to do it quickly.
Her health is excellent, she is free
from any kind Of cold or respira-
tory infection, and has a lot Of
pep.
Because Sylvia was so hungry,
twice this morning she took one

which contain absolutely no kind
Of drug. They have a sweet pleas

Sylvia had a cup of hot tea each
time. This is part of Miss Della
fields plan to make your dieting
easier and keep you from feeling
the pangs of hunger too badly.
Later, perhaps Sylvia will not feel
the need for two pills in the
morning. Right now her stomach is
stretched from over eating.
For lunch, Sylvia had one egg
poached, to which she added two
extra egg whites. The extra yolks.

Perhaps this diet seems a little
severe to you. So for those who
wish to take it more slowly, Ann
Delafield has devised diets num-

services to private groups at the armory and
Constitution Hall.
It would be much better, of course, If the
city could give complete police service to all
citizens and groups without requiring them to
pay special fees beyond their taxes. The fee
system could be extended so far that even
escorts for funerals would be charged for. But,
as long as the system remains in force it is
unfair to charge for service to some arenas and
halls and not to others. And Chief Murray's
suggestion that all such fees be turned over to
the police force rather than to the District
general fund, is worth serious consideration.
The collected fees would go into revolving
fund to pay of-duty policemen for extra duty
at the park and arenas. The advantage of this
plan is that it would enable the chief to keep
more men on precinct beats, while providing
extra compensation for officers willing to voun-
teer for the special assignments. The city as
a whole would benefit from better police
protection.

The Astin Incident

We want to thank you for your fine
editorial (April . in regard to Allen
Astin and the Bureau Of Standards.
A companion editorial, Confessions
from the Kremlin," is undoubtedly q
coincidence, but many Of the phrases
could be applied to what has happened
to DR.. Astin and the Bureau of Stand
ards.
Could Mr.. Weeks. as head Of the
Commerce Department, do less than
the Kremlin-admit that his Office is
not above making mistake or COM
mitting an act Of gross injustice?

place, will soon grow into regular BRAN
ches.
These give an odd look to any garden,
though they do show in rather startling
fashion the urge to life and growth
possessed by this species.
All suckers should be cut OF as they
arise. 1t will take some persistence, but
is worth 1t.
The cut should be painted with some
preparation containing oil and asbestos.
ANY hardware store can supply one Of
these.
One coat is painted on and allowed to
dry for a week, then another and last
coat is applied.
Those gardeners who have never
dressed up a stump in this fashion will
be surprised how nice 1t makes it look.
Then a little ivy and the gardener
has as neat bird bath pedestal as he
and the birds can wish.
With little care and determination,
such bird bath may be kept in good
shape for years.
Cutting a stump OF level with the
ground, as so many persons do, leaves
very ugly place on the lawn, on which
nothing but moss will grow and not
much of that and then the whole thing
has q moth-eaten appearance.
It is much better to have the tree cut
OF at foot from the ground, or two
feet and make some good use Of it, than
to leave 1t as slippery place for the
pup to trip on. A general eyeSore can
never be good IN a yard or garden.

scientists also take refuge behind the
same constitutional immunity, that one
is left wondering. How Wilfully stupid
can educators and authors be and still
retain acceptable validity and merit?
The teacher, scientist or author who
refuses to take sides against Marx
ianiSm, Leninism or Stalinism is too
confused and sophomore to continue
in his profession. Phony rewriting
Of history, Lysenko, and the suppress
sion of certain books, plays and even
musical scores and paintings, should
nauseate any Intellectually honest per-
son. And certainly our intellectual
leaders should be Intellectually honest.

National Bureau Of Standards never
was political plum" and see no
excuse for attempting to introduce that
innovation now, as appears to be the
case, judging from newspaper reports.
In the good old days of Uncle Joe"
Cannon the bureau enjoyed the conf
dence and good will Of all political
parties. Members of Congress used to
visit the Bureau Of Standards. Evi-
IDENTIFY they were favorably impressed
with its work; for there seemed to be
no difficulty in getting appropriations.
OF course, occasionally some one was
disgruntled regarding our tests Of the
performance of his product, just as
now regarding a storage battery. I
recall bawling out one fellow for trying
to tell me how to report favorably my
adverse findings of the performance
of his product. But he did not rush
to his Congressman to bring pressure
on the National Bureau of Standards!
If changes are to be made in the
operation of the bureau" why not begin
with the promulgators of the numerous
"directives" that keep the scientific
staff in dither, and incidentally take
a large toll out of an appropriation
made for the investigation of device
or chemical product?
Heretofore the National Bureau Of
Standards conducted the scientific mis-
Sions for which it was founded without
giving thought to the political party
in power. Hence regard it as a ca
tastrophe to the bureau, and to science
in general, to mix politics with Scien-
tific objectiveS. The very nature Of the
work. for all people, makes it nom
partisan. We went along nicely with
Woodrow Wilson. who once, unex-
pectedly, visited us. Herbert Hoover,
when Secretary of Commerce, used to
visit and address us: and, in spite of
the unfortunate events in recent years,
I see no good reasons why the former
traditions of the National Bureau of
Standards should be discontinued.
w. w. Coblentz.
It is pleasing to note that the news
papers, and especially The Star, are
not just taking for granted the un-
called-for custer of DR.. Allen v. Astin
as director of the Bureau Of Standards.
The position Of Director of the
Bureau of Standards, am told, has
never been regarded as a political
plum, and it seems unthinkable that
this. of all administrations, would re-
gard 1t as such.
That battery additive excuse cooked
up by Secretary Weeks seems to have
backf1red. Obviously if it takes so much
testing and retesting to find even
remote condition where the additiv
works, it can't be of much use to the
general public, who would be duped by
clever advertising into purchasing 1t.
Personally, I wouldn't know either

The problem Of tree stumps is q
tough one.
What is the best way to handle
them has long been a topic for dis
cussion among home gardeners. Each
has solution of his own, and the
universal tendency is to Sneer politely
at the other fellows.
The truth seems to be that there
is no one best way to handle stump.
The loss of tree is always some
thing to wonder over. Loss Of good
things is perplexing to the human
spirit. It is difficulty most animals
are spared.
When a tree has to come down,
determination ought to be made be-
forehand as to the stump, for here
is something that simply cannot be
overlooked.
Workers in Offices may step over
paper on the floor. or not mind too
much dirty windows and halls, but
the blazing new stump in the garden
Is there for keeps. seemingly.
Actually, stump may be taken out,
as every one knows.
What few seem to realize except
those who have tried it, is how much
work it takes.
One must dig, and dig, and dig, al
most down to China, in the old child
hood phrase.
This digging is not just down, either,
but takes In feet on all sides. until
at last half an ordinary sized yard
may be dug up just to get one old
locust stump out.
