COLD WATER CRACKERS?
MRS. w. H. c.. WashinQtonl

MRS. w. H. c., Washington
/ would so much appreciate
getting a recipe for cold water
crackers. The kind made by
G. H. Bent Co. of Milton, Mass.
They are round, (214 inches)
and "a inch thick.
My suggestion on where to
place TV might not benefit
Mrs. S. j. NJ, Washington,
since she may already have her
bedroom set, but for newly
married couples the best bet is
to plan your bedroom around
two hollywood beds or two
good studio coucheS. I say
good studio couches, because
you are going to sleep on them
a long time. These can be
placed against the walls form
ing a corner with a table in the
corner.
If the room is too small push
the beds right against each
other in the corner and make
or buy backs for the studio
couches. This affords ample
space for lamps, books, ETC.,
to rest on. Two bureaus can
take up the other wall and the
third wall be left free for your
television set. In this way
you can seat six people along
the studio couches or beds and
all you want on cushions or
chairs in the middle of the
room. It works out wonder
fully. Old beds can have backs
and front cut off.
For the lady who is annoyed
by the dust from her blankets,
sew two of the largest sheets
you can get so they are like a
pillow case and insert the
blankets inside. Then sew up
the remaining side with large
stitches. No dust and it saves
the blankets.
For Mrs. F. w. NJ, concern
ing her Mexican pin with the
clasp gone, why don't you buy
yourself a delicate silver chain.
Turn the pin part around so
it is bent in the form of a
small loop and loop in the
chain through it. In that way
1t can be worn like a locket.
I'm sure it wouldn't matter
even if the pin we're upside
down. Those Mexican pins are
beautiful anyway.
And now for a request, I
would love some quick, tricky
desserts that don't take any
time but turn out deliciously.
I just don't have the time for
cakes, cookies or pies. Also
what to do with leftover cake.
I buy a big one which the
family loves the first day and
then always leave so / am left
with a half of a cake.

TO CLEAN MARBLE?

mrs. r. A. K, Richmond
Can any one tell me how to
clean a piece of marble, part
of which has been covered for
years with books, leaving a
dull film that just refuses to
come off?
My husband has made a
very attractive cocktail table
with this forty-seven inch long
slab, by merely attaching
wrought iron legs onto a thick
piece of plywood, using strips
of iron banding to frame the
marble and hide the plywood
layer. We ordered the legs
from a magazine advertise
ment and spent a total of only
ten dollars for a perfectly
fabulous table we could never
have afforded in the stores.
OF course, having the marble
was a great saving, but prob
ably you too, have a gawky
piece Of furniture holding up
a precious marble slab.

SWEATER PROBLEM.

SWEATER FRObLEM.
tMrs. A. G. X. Washington
This is in reply to the person
inquiring about what to do for
nylon sweaters which have be-
come very fuzzy" I, too, have
had this problem and know
others who have experienced
the same thing. I wrote to
the du Pont company to ask
their advice, after having in.
quired in the sweater depart
mentS of local stores without
success. I thought you might
be interested in the very nice
letter I received from du Pont,
part of which is quoted below.
First, they state that a
method of preventing the
fuzzy" appearance would be
careful laundering. washing
the garment as you would any
other fine article.
Then, to quote, "And now
about remedying the fuzzy"
appearance of garments that
you now have. First. we would
like to give you an idea Of
why these little balls of fuzz
appear on nylon sweaters in
the first place. AS you prob
ably know, they also appear on
wool sweaters and on some
garments made of other fibers.
However, most Of the other
f1berS aren't as Stron. as
nylon and the fuzz balls tend
to wear off. It is the strength
of the individual nylon fibers
that holds the fuzz in place on
a nylon sweater once it has
formed. Some nylon sweaters
tend to collect these balls of
fuzz more than others do. One
reason is that the nylon yarn
in some sweaters is more
tightly twisted than in others.
If the sweater manufacturer
uses a tightly twisted yarn,
the nylon fibers are more
tightly bound into the yarn,
and less likely to form balls
of fuzz.
Most people do not have
electric hair clippers, but If
some one in your family should
happen to have them, they will
remove the fuzz from the
nylon sweater quickly and
easily. Hand hair clippers will
do the same job, but much
more slowly. 1t can be done
with scissors, if you have the
patience.
Another fairly easy way,
but one that requires care
not to damage the sweater, is
to use an electric iron. II you
set your iron at the hottest
temperature, it will be hot
enough to melt nylon. If you
then pass it over your sweater.
holding it just near enough to
melt the fuzz but not to melt
a hole in the sweater 1t should
do a good job. To clean the
iron first leave it at the hot
test temperature for 10 min
utes to oxidize the molten
nylon, then let it cool and
scrape the residue off, being
careful not to scratch the bot
tom of the iron"
I have not yet tried the
methods suggested so cannot
comment on their effective
ness, but thought would pass
this information on to you.

Veterans and
Druftees
By Moi. Thomos M. Mol

Many thousands leaving the
armed services these days arr
missing a chance to buy up II
$4,000 worth of the lowest.
priced life insurance.
This insurance Is offered b.
the Federal Government through
the Veterans Administration. II
is available to every ex-service.
man with 81 or more days oi
service since the Korean wal
Started-June q, 1850.
The gimmick is that you must
apply for the insurance within
100 days after your release from
active duty. Only about 11,00C
Korean veterans have applied.
Because of the low premium
cost. the insurance merely pro-
vides payment at the time OF
your death. It is not convertible
to any other plan, such as 90
year-life or ordinary life-as was
the World War II Government
insurance.
It doesn't pay dividends. 1t has
no loan value. It can't be cashed
in if the insurance is dropped,
and it has no extended insurance
value.
Lifetime Policy.
In other words, you pays a small
premium every month and as
long as you do so your bene-
ficiary will be assured of receiv-
ing the value of the policy when
you die. Thus, as you can see,
you must continue to pay the
premiums as long as you live.
The insurance is five-year
term. That's the technical label
for insurance which must be re-
newed every five years. This can
be done merely by stating in a
formal application that you want
to renew.
The insurance may be bought
In amounts ranging from 1000
to $4,000, less any other Gov
ernment insurance you have. For
example, if you're a World War
II veteran who was called to
active duty, and have continued
to pay the premiums on your
World War II insurance, you may
only buy the difference between
that insurance and $4,000. If
you have $4,000 World War II
insurance you can't buy any Ko-
rean war insurance.
No Physical Required.
You may apply for the insur-
ance in writing to the Veterans
Administration, Washington 25.
D. c.. and pay the required pre-
MUM. You do not have to take
a physical examination.
The premium you must pay
depends on your age. When you
renew the insurance after the
flve-year term period, you'll have
to pay the premium for your age
at that time.
For instance, If you're % when
you take out the insurance your
premiums will be % cents per
81, 900 Of insurance per month.
When you renew it at q, the
premium will be 27 cents per
81 900 per month. The premium
will increase every five years un-
til your death. When you reach
81. for example. you must pay
$3.05 per month per $1,000 OF
insurance.
If you take out this insurance,
you may name any person or
persons, firm or corporation, or
your estate as beneficiary or
beneficiaries.
/ Payments made to the benefi-
ciary after you die are exempt
from taxation. They're also fully
exempt from debt claims against
yourself or your beneficiary.
