GREEN GROW THE
RUSHES-HO?"
(Mrs. p. o., HyattsUille)

mrs. p. O., HyGttsDille)
Several readers have in
the past commented on WASH
ington's wonderful reference
facilities. Libraries, museums,
etc. We all appreciate these
facilities very much and have
found them very helpful. But.
as other readers have COM
mented. it is often impossible
to get out to make use of those
facilities, and in such cases
RICH is a blessing indeed. I've
called the Library of Con-
gress in regard to the follow
ing query but was told it would
be necessary to come in and
look through their music ref
erences. I would enjoy doing
that very much but have so far
not been able to get there.
Does any one know the
background of the folk song,
"Green Grow the Rushes-Ho,"
and the meaning of the SYM
bolism. "Six for the six proud
walkers eight for the
April Rainers, nine for the
nine bright Sinners" etc. The
words and music are available
in several places, but the song
is referred to either as an
English folk song" or Music
and words adapted from an
ancient Hebrew song" read
somewhere that "gringo" was
supposed to have originated
from this song, but Mencken
in his American Language
Supplement points out that
"gringo" was used to refer to
foreigners long before the war
with Mexico.

Some one asked how to use
leftover dry cake. I use dry
cake, oatmeal cookies and gin
gerbread in this way: Wrap
the cake in a cloth, place in
a colander over boiling water.
! steam it until softened and
then add this dip. which is
also grand on bread pudding.
Cream ! tablespoon flour,
tablespoon butter or mar
garine with 2a tablespoons
sugar. Add boiling water,
slowly stirring all the time
until the dip is the consist
ency of thick cream. This
usually takes about IA cups
of water. After removing from
the heat. add q dash of nut
meg and any desired flavor
ing-wel like / teaspoon Of
lemon best.

QUERIES?
SUGGESTION.

mrs. s., SiIDer Spring.
Would like opinions on out
door clothes dryers with par
allel lines: Aluminium versus
steel. Aluminium is lighter in
weight. Do they, however,
break often in a strong wind?
I have a vegetable brush and
a bowl brush. In both, the
metal prongs have come out Of
the wooden handles. How can
I get them to stay in?
I tack a sturdy piece Of
material on the back Of a
door. making a pocket to hold
paper bags, etc.

FENCING?
FIREARMS CLUB?
(G. NJ, WGShin0tOn)

A friend and I are interested
in learning the art of fencing
and would like to know of any
clubs or schools where it is
taught. We are both in our
middle twenties and neither of
us has had previous instruc-
tionS.
I am also interested in join
ing a firearms club, having al
ways been interested in them,
though I know nothing about
them. I would like to learn
how to use a rifle and then
also how to use a pistol. I have
only heard Of clubs whose
members get together for prac-
tice matches. I would like to
learn from scratch and, Of
course, would buy the arms,
if necessary. am planning on
going hunting next fall and
would like to know what I am
doing before starting of.

CHRISTMAS CACTUS.
DECORATING BOOK?
I'M. W. H., SilUer Spring.
To Mrs. F. S., about the
ailing Christmas cactus: In
the spring transplant the
plant out in the yard under a
tree or in the shade. In the
fall plant it in a pot and set it
in a window. Don't move it
till next spring. I have had
good luck with this method.
Does any one know a good
decorating book, especially
one for small or divided living
rooms?

NOME SHOWS THE WAY
(The Alaska Weekly)

We note that the Nome Visitors Association has opened office for the convenience of tourists who will visit the region this In itself this deserves comment because Nomeites have taken the lead in showing other Alaskan cities how to help visi tors to enjoy their tour of the territory.
 The Nome visitors center understand it, is the only of it's kind far set up in Alaska The idea is to provide tourists with headquarters where they easily obtain information first hand about the region they're visiting.
 Not,only have the people of Nome done something to encourage the tourist business in their area but they've put pioneer Alaskan in charge of their little tourist center who really knows the regions history and what it has to offer to stimulate the naginatons of those who visit Alaska this summer.
 So congratulations to the city of Nome, both for setting up the visitors center and placing George Goshaw in charge. We feel certain Alaskan tourists who head west this summer won't be sorry Mr. Goshaw will make their visit memorable one.

NO PRECEDENT

The Mutual Security Administration has shattered, far as recall all fiscal precedents in the national capital It has cut it's original budget request from $5, 5,8280O0,O0O to $547400 000 The reduction of 354 millions represents savings the agency has been able to make in expenditures for this year. without, it claimed reducing the effectiveness of it's operations It is also strongly hinted by Acting Director William M Rand that MSA will be able to save another 50 million by the end of the year.
 Chairman Alexander Wiley of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to whom Mr. Rand wrote the good tdings described it evdence of the conscen- tous efforts of the administration to maintain con- stant review of the program and cut costs whenever that can be done without harning actual operations
 Which also proves the Senator equal to any emer- gency. Most old Washington hands would be speech less.
