WEST POINT. N. Y. Sept. 8.
-Arrny's colors are gold and
black. So are it's football pros
poets. depending on who talks.
If you listen to the Army fan,
everything is gold, pure gold. If
you listen to the coaches, the
outlook is black.
This was the year the Cadets
were to return to the peak after
having shaken off the effects of
the 1851 cribbing scandal. This
was the year the Cadets would
be all-everything in the entire
country, not just in the East.
These are the viewpoints Of the
fans.
But the Military Academy's
football bosses merely point out
that only nine lettermen return
from the team that won seven,
lost one and tied one last year
and that this seasons squad
totals only 36, the smallest in
the modern history of the insti-
tuition.
Blaik Isn't Optimistic.
Col. Earl (Red) Blaik, head
coach, isn't too pessimistic but
he also isn't optimistic, def
nitely.
"Unquestionably, the rebuild
ing of our line and the dearth
of requirements are our major
concern" he said after yester-
days workout.
st believe our backfield may
develop into a balanced unit but
we are all apprehensive of meet
ing such experienced teams as
Michigan, Duke, Penn. Yale and
Navy"
Army's prospects weakened on
the first day of practice when
1t was announced that Bob Far
ris, captain-elect and an out
standing tackle, and Mike zieg-
Ter. promising scatback ticketed
for the right halfback post,
would not play this fall.
Farris, who spent one season
at Vanderbilt before coming to
the academy, suffered a de-
tached retina last fall and was
successfully operated on during
the summer. However, the doc
tors have forbidden all contact
sports. He will continue as cap
tain but will not play.
Kyasky Replaces Ziegler.
ziegler. possibly the f1nestrun-
ming back on the squad, suffered
a fractured spinal disc in a fall
down his barrack stairs. His
place in the probable starting
backfield will be taken by Bob
Kyasky, a punter and fast
enough to be a sprinter on the
track team.
Veterans in the backfield will
be Pete Vann, rated by Blaik as
one of the two really great
passers in Army history. sVann
is a Junior and Blaik readily
admits the entire season hinges
on Vann, the Information quar-
terback. Pat Uebel. who scored
all three touchdowns against
Navy last fall, will be at fullback
and the defens1v e-minded
Tommy Bell at right half.
Standout of the rebuilt line is

Laundering
Foundation


Zone to wear. one to spare,
one to wash" is a good line to
follow with regard to foundation
garments.
Foundations need a rest be-
tween wearings. to preserve their
strength and elasticity. And
they should be laundered fire.
quently. to lengthen the life of
the garments as well as for rea-
sons Of personal daintiness.
Washing: Close zippers or
other fastenings first. Inclose
garments in a net bag, If laun-
dering them in a washing ma
chine. Soak them no longer than
10 minutes, no matter how
soiled, in mild lukewarm suds.
Squeeze garments gently. with
cupping motion. in warm suds.
Remove spots or soil by rubbing
with a soft, sudsy brush. Rinse
several times in clear, tepid
water.
Drying: Roll garment in a
turkish towel to absorb moisture.
Never twist or wiring a founda-
ton. Shape the garment and
hang it over the bathroom rod or
clothesline. A girdle may also be
suspended by its garters from a
hanger. but should never be
hung up with clothespins.
NEVER dry foundations in di-
rect heat or sunlight, as this
weakens the f1bers.
Ironing: When ironing foun-'
dations "a matter of preference)
use a warm iron on fabric parts
while the garment is still damp.
NEVER touch elastic sections
with the iron. A brassiere should
be ironed on the inside. Press in
steady strokes, working from the
outer area of the cup towards
the center.

Asymmetricul Jewels

JeWelry designers lend new IN
terest to many pieces with asym-
metrical lines. Tree-branch clips,
those like clusters Of flowers or
fruit. and feather clips take their
asymmetry from nature. The
idea is carried out in diamond
necklaces knotted like ribbon at
one side or by asymmetrical mo-
tifs in pendants.
The above trends. passemen:
terie, gold wire. mobility and
asymmetry also extend into
fashion jewelry, although the
paving of stones, because OF
workmanship involved. is pecu-
liar to fine jewelry and precious
stones,

TO CLEAN IRON AND RUGS.
mrs. /. B. M. Arlington)
# the reader who wanted to
clean a sticky iron will take a
piece Of paraffin, used or new,
wrap 1t in 4 to 6 layers Of cloth.
and pin it to the large end of
the ironing board. When the
iron becomes stubborn or
sticky. run it over the wrapped
paraff1n five or six times and
just see the miraculous change
in ironing. The paraffin should
not be much thicker than
ohe-half inch. I used old
washed paraff1n tops from
jelly. when available.
I learned from the Germans
to take my small rugs out in
wintertime, lay them on the
snow, right side down, to beat.
The snow holds the dust and
rugs will look like new. How
ever, we don't have much snow
here, so such a method isn't
very practical in Washington.

OIL FOR COOKING?
MRS. J. M. Mel. Washington
I'm interested in learning
the pros and cons of using soy
bean oil and peanut oil in
. cooking. I've heard that fried
foods are less greasy when
cooked in soy bean oil and
also less fattening since this
oil is high in protein. How
ever, I don't know how ex-
pensive it is or If it has a
taste of it's own. I would ap-
preciate any information on
this from some one who has
actually used either or both
oils.

MIRROR PROBLEM
ANSWERED.

(Mr. D. G. c., District Heights)
In answer to Mrs. M. L. NJ,
Arlington, to prevent a mirror
from Jogging. The mirror fogs
because it is colder than the
rest of the air in the room
which has been warmed by
the hot water Of the shower.
If the following two things are
done after the shower, the
mirror will be quickly de-
logged. One. open the door
to the bath. allowing the
moisture-laden air to exchange
with the drier air in the rest of
the house. and two, rub the
mirror with a wash cloth wet
with the hottest water obtain
able from the tap. The mirror
should be de-fogged in less
than a minute by following
the above procedure.
miss B. c., Silver Spring.
To save those precious min
utes every morning and dis
position waiting for the mirror
to clear up to shave, why not
suggest, if he is not of the OBJ
stinate type, to shave before
he takes his shower. Try it
just once. This may sound
flippant, but it is not written
in that spirit. Having lived
all my life with two wonderful
brothers, I think most men
need a woman to tell them
the easy way to do things.
They all love the hard way.
