These Rules Will Guide You
In Caring for Glassware

Once you have the glassware,
care for it, but don't pamper it.
Wash the glasses in hot water.
If they have just contained ice,
warm them gradually; a quick
rinse under the cold water fau-
Get is all that is necessary.
If you use a small amount of
detergent or ammonia, glasses
can be air-dried, rim down in
a rubber-covered rack or on a
towel. If soap is used, glasses
require toweling.
A good idea, too, is to place
rubber mat or towel in the
bottom of the sink. This, and a
mo crowding in the sink" rule
will lengthen the life of any
glassware.
Other Cleaning Tricks.
Milk glasses can be rinsed
with lukewarm water before
washing. Wine glasses should
be rinsed as soon after use as
possible. Remove lime deposits
sometimes found on the bottoms
of water bottles or pitchers with
tea leaves covered with vinegar.
For cleaning flower vases, use
chlorine bleach solution to act
as a deodorant.
If glasses stick together, do
not try to pry them apart. In
stead, put cold water in the
inner glass and hold the outer
one in warm water.
Glasses should be stored up
right on a shelf preferably lined
with a rubber pad. Separate
glass plates with doilies or nap
kins. If possible, reserve one
shelf for special pieces you only
occasionally use and protect
them from dust with a piece of
plastic or oilcloth tapped to the
back of the shelf and draped
over the glassware.
Before using again, wipe all
glassware with a soft cloth.
Evening star., 1954-09-25

Whether you can afford ex-
penSive or moderately priced
glassware the rules for buying
and caring for it are the same.
Shape, quality and decoration
take prime consideration. Dur
ability also. is important, but
modern glassware will last in
definitely with just ordinary
precautions in handling.
Here's what to look for:
/. Shape of the glass should
be functional, in good proportion
and blend well with furnish
ings, tableware and linens. A
glass should be balanced and
not too heavy on the top. This
prevents easy tipping.
2. Double-duty glassware saves
money and adds to a tables
beauty. A tumbler can double
for iced drinks, milk or highballs;
sherbet glasses also can hold
wine. Shrimp cocktails can be
served in small old-fashioned
glasses filled with ice and a
tiny jigger glass for the sauce.
8. Clarity-the "water-white"
lustrous qualities so necessary
in glass-should be carefully
checked. Judge the glass away
from the mass display. Hold it
against a dark purse or sleeve
to get better idea of how it
will look on your table.
4. Decoration is mainly a mat
ter of individual taste. Main
trick here is to visualize how
the glass plate, bowl or STEM
ware will look on your own par
ticular table. You can choose
from glasses with a mere sug-
gestion of pattern to highly
elaborate designs.
No Pampering Needed.
Although glassware may gen.
orally be placed in the fragile"
category, baking dishes, perco-
lators and teapots of glass are
heat-resistant, durable and at
tractive.

sheds water and refuses to stain
from soap.
Last but not least is the idea
OF closing or boxing in the wash
basin or lavatory. Many modern
bathrooms have closed-in basins
with ample counter space around
them.
One assembly can be made en-
tirely of three-quarter-inch ply
wood. While it may seem COM
plicated. it requires little skill
because the only cutting to be
done is in straight lines and
there IS no mitering or growing.
The job consists of making q

Concrete PATCHING
Easier, So Check
Vulnerable Spots

Concrete and mortar patching
jobs around a house have been
simplified by ready-mixed con-
crete and mortar available at
hardware stores and building
houses.
This material comes in dry
form. AL you do is to add the
specified amount of water and
mixing is "as easy as making
mud pies"
Some of the vulnerable ma
sonry spots you should check at
regular intervals to prevent fur
ther deterioration are:
l. The chimney. To prevent
water from penetrating between
the f1ue file and the brickwork,
chimney cap should be patched
with sand mix or watertight
cement. (Sand mix is sand and
cement without aggregate)
2. Stucco cracks and breaks in
exterior walls. If deep, these will
permit moisture to get behind
the stucco or other veneer and
damage interior walls.
3. Check the foundation.
Breaks in joints between stones
or blocks can be patched with
mortar mix. A poured concrete
foundation showing cracks can
be repaired with a sand mix
4. Watch your sidewalks.
Many damage suits have resulted
from falls caused by broken side
walks. Walks are easy to patch.
S. Watch your steps. Breaks
in risers or treads of concrete
steps should be repaired before
they cause further damage. Use
a sand mix.

plain back piece with a top
which is cut out so that it fits
just over the rim of the basin.
Two side pieces or wings are then
set under the cover extending
from the front edge to the back
piece. The shelves are then set
and nailed through from both
the back and the wings.
This leaves only the outer cor
ners unsupported, and if there is
doubt about the strength of
them, brackets may be set under
the front edges.

ideas to put into practice.
Among them is the special
wall which segregates the closet

bathroom, and the idea of pa

Montana Needs Better Roads.
Better Roads Cost Money.
Question: How to Raise the Money?

AS HAS BEEN reported by the
Montana Highway Department, the
state collects $14, $4,000 a year for
all highway purposes. Of this S.
505,000 is earmarked for strictly state
purposes. This leaves $6,345,000 to
match federal funds, with the fed
eral government paying 81 per cent
and the state 43 per cent. This
amount has been inadequate to meet
the $9,167,781 that the federal gov
eminent has been allocating to the
state each year. And now Congress
is considering raising the ALLEGATION
to $12,000,000 a year or more.
Just to keep up with the additional
ALLEGATION, Montana would have to
raise at least $2,14e,OO0 more an
nually.
State Highway Department Of
= ficials estimate that Montana could
spend 1881, 100000 in federal and
state funds to bring its roads UP to
accepted standards. The department
actually proposes to spend some
what more modest sum, $69,000,0
in the next four years. Of this $40
100000 is to be spent on the primary
system, $25,000,000 in the secondary
system and $3,OOO,000 on the urban
system.
It's the. secondary system that

We Took 1000 Bales
Away From Weevils
By K. K. KIMBRO
Big Horn County, v0ning

IN 1851 WE HAD slightly over a
half crop of hay in our first and
second cuttings, so in 1852, although
/ have never been much of hand
to adopt a lot of these new ideas
tdue no doubt to disappointing ex-
perience in trying to poison a heavy
nfestation of grasshoppers some
years ago., my son and I decided to
try spraying our alfalfa to see if
we could cut down on the weevil
damage.
We purchased a sprayer which
mounts on the rear of tractor, and
after getting a supply of dieldrin
through our local Farm Bureau, we
had our assistant country agent come
out and help calibrate this machine
SO as to put rs pints of dieldrin,
mixed in gallons of water on each
acre under pressure of 100 pounds,
with the spray nozzles about Is
inches above the ground.
1t required about 10 hours to spray
our so acres of alfalfa, but notwith-
standing the fact that it rained the
very night after we had sprayed a
part of our acreage, we got an ex-
ceptionally good kill of the weevil.
All three cuttings of hay were
heavy and of good quality. We did
this spraying when the alfalfa was
under two inches in height and am
glad to report that we put up 1000
bales more hay in 1852 than in 1851
and off the same. identical acreage

farmers and ranchers are most con-
cerned about. That's the system that
includes the farm-to-market roads
and that's the system that is still
AZ per cent unimproved in Montana.
But Montana should at least man
age to match federal road funds.
That means minimum of $2,000,0O0
more year must be raised. How
should this be done? No recommen-
dalton has been made as yet by any
official source. A few suggestions
have been offered by individuals.
Chief of these are:
l. Increase the state tax on gaso-
line and diesel fuel. We now
pay cents state tax and 2 cents
federal on each gallon of gaso-
line. 1t is estimated, unofficially,
that another cent of tax might
come somewhere near produc-
ing the 100000 if present rate
of consumption continues.
2. Increase the gross weight tax on
trucks.
3. Establish a ton-mile tax on
trucks.
Such a tax based upon actual
use would seem to have merit.
Major problem would be diff

I WAS SHORT of hay land. I had

when I wanted to irrigate I had no

has about 112 miles of White Pine

a good place to put in a dam. So
went to work, chopped all the big

In 1852 put out small strip of
phosphate on alfalfa to see if I would

about So pounds per acre on 100

40 per cent more seed per acre.
This year we will make further

Barnyard manure is good for any

investigators hunting the
phantom killer of A. L. Patter-
son intensified their search to-
day in. hope that witnesses kept
silent by fear may talk now that
Phenix City is under limited
martial law for the third day.
There were encouraging signs
in the first "a hours after Gov.
Gordon Persons stripped Phenix
City police and Russell County
sheriff's officers of all authority
and replaced them with National
Guard troops.
Acting Attorney General
Bernard Sykes. expressing belief
that the unprecedented military
rule would 'open the way to new
information" said yesterday he
had noticed an increase in tele-
phone calls and other contacts
from residents apparently willing
to tell what they might know.
He had remarked earlier that
there were rumors that many
persons were afraid to talk be-
fore the civilian law enforcement
officers were disarmed and re-
lieved of their authority.
Recurring reports said that the
special grand jury which was
empaneled to hear evidence in
the Patterson murder investiga-
ton and a broader inquiry into
vice and racketeering in Phenix
City might be called back into
session next week.
1t was five weeks. ago last night
that Mr.. Patterson was shot to
death on a downtown street be-
fore he could take Office as At
torney General, a job he had
won on a pledge to rid Phenix
City and all Of Alabama of or
ganized crime and racketeering.
His son, John, has since been
nominated for the same Office
on a promise to carry out the
cleanup campaign his father
started.
