General Bradley
Asks Support For

A recent statement by General
of the Army, Omar N. Bradley,
chairman of the United Defense

ed by Mayor c. B. Harvey, chair
man of the Key West USO Com
mittee and was released by him
today.
'Our part in the struggle for
mems minds and aspirations, and
for our own liberty, has just be-
gun. Two terrible battles go re-
lentlessly on-one for the worlds
resources and the more insidious,
the more frightening battle for
mems minds"
"Today, the American people
are maintaining and supporting
economic, military, and education
al forces against these dangers.
We are trying to help free men
help themselves to remain free.
But, many of us I am afraid,
give support without full realiza-
ton that this is not enough; that
our awareness of all the implica-
tons of this vast struggle, and
our active determination never
to relax our vigilance, are also
vitality necessary.
''To me, the United Defense
Fund is one way in which we can
show our sensitivity to the under
currents of the continuing battle
for freedom, and our awareness

services and the defense effort"

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Some women seem to be born
with fine muscular coordination
while others have to earn it. The
women who have it are usually
"naturals" at sports and dane
ing and move with the grace of
a cat.
Exercises which develop CO.
ordination and balance are ex-
tremely valuable to the average
woman because these will in
crease her gracefulness. Every
woman should indulge in some
of these each day, especially as
she grows older. They will make
you feel supple and alive but
need not be strenuous. They are
valuable health-wise and figure
wise, too. Today I will give you
one.
Stand tall. Swing the left
arm and the right leg forward
as the right arm swings back.
Now swing the left arm and the
right leg back as the right arm
swings forward. Continue. You
will notice that the left arm and
the right leg move in the same
direction while the right arm
moves in the opposite direction.
After a while do the same
thing with the left leg. This
time the right arm and the left

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
(MrS . M n MrTph7ll

MRS. p. M. d., McLedn)
To Mrs. r. B. j.. College
Park: Have you tried alcohol
to remove the yellow marks
left by the tape on your re-
frigerator? And have you con-
suited the dealer from whom
you bought your refrigerator?
1t would seem that they
wouldn't sell a refrigerator that
would be permanently marred.
To Mrs. M. j. S., Rockville:
If you're going to make any,
thing as large as a patio, you
should try to at least get a
small electric concrete mixer.
You might be able to borrow
or rent one. Ours has seen
service in doing the whole
cellar floor, outside cellar
steps, porch and sidewalk.
Mixing concrete by hand is
back breaking work. Sorry I
can't help you with sugges.
tions for doing the work, but
thought this suggestion might
interest you.
Does anyone know how to
remove perfume stains from a
white nylon sweater? 1t has
been washed but they are still
there.

STORAGE IN ATTIC?
mrs SH Bethesdn)

AS spring is here, I am In
terested in getting some an
swers to my personal storage
problems. I would like to use
my attic to store all our winter
clothes and also some out
grown baby clothes, but the
attic is terrif1cally hot in the
summer. Will that high tenn
perature harm the fabric Of
the clothes? Will moths be
more attracted to the clothes
because of the dark and the
heat? Will storing clothes in
plastic garment bags help the
situation or will they only hold
the heat around the clothes
more. I am anxious to hear
from some reader who has
ever had this problem.

For Graceful Coordination
Try This Swinging Action

leg swing in the same direction
and the left arm in the opposite
direction.
When you do this exercise be
certain that your back is
straight and your chin slightly
lifted. Make the swing rhyth-
mic and smooth like the pendu-
lum of a clock and reach with
your arms and legs. You will
not only develop balance and
coordination, but will feel a
nice pull through the torso.
This exercise should be done
in a relaxed manner as though
you were dancing. In other
words, your arms and wrists
should be relaxed.
This motion for grace also
tones the abdominal muscles.
Do it to music and you will find
it fun. If you cannot keep your
balance at first, place one hand
on the wall, with one side turned
to the wall and swing the other
leg and arm in opposite direc-
tions.

TO MAKE SOAP.
Mrs. E.F.B., Washington


After making several patches
of soap with various degrees
of success, I have worked out
a system that results in really
white, mild, firm soap, with
out the inconvenience of
weighing ingredients. There
was a request for a soap recipe
lately so here goes.
To begin with. it is worth
while to use beef and lamb fat
only. Although others may be
mixed in. Have ready two s.
pound cans of this fat Qarge
shortening canS); melt and
strain through double thick
ness of cheeSecloth into a large
kettle. Add about an equal
amount of water and about 2
teaspoons of soda. Boil for
several minutes, cool, then
chill Gin refrigerator if neces-
sary) until hard. Drain off
water from beneath. Add fresh
water, boil, chill, drain again.
Melt fat slowly until just liquid
and warm. Do this the day
before.
Dissolve l can of I've in a
large enamel kettle or bowl.
With 3 pintS of cold water,
stirring with enamel or glass
spoon; cool until lukewarm.
Mix l can borax and 2 table
spoons sugar and stir into I've
water. Mix "a cup ammonia
and u cup bleach and add.
Gradually stir in II cups of
grease, also a few dashes of
liquid blueing and oil of pine
obtained at grocery store).
Keep stirring slowly for 20
minutes. Pour into fiat enam-
Ell pans. zone large oven
baking pan is just right if you
have it, Pans must be spot
less and kept level. 1t helps to
plan the size of cakes in ad-
vance. Measure by chalk marks
on sides of pan. Cut after 6-8
hours. Remove after ID days.
This makes 35 cakes. 7 across
and down, l inch thick. Sea-
son for about a month.
HAIR-DO FOR CHILD
Mrs. r. H. r., Arlington
For the reader who wanted
suggestions on how to keep a
hair-ribbon on a little girl
with soft hair: Part the hair
on both sides and across the
back of the top. so as to form
a "top-knot." Twist a small
rubber band around the top
knot, as tightly as possible and
as close to the scalp as posi-
BILE. Tie the ribbon around this
rubber band. With a small
barrette. fasten the hair be-
low the ribbon to some of the
hair held in place by the rub
Der band. I have used this
method successfully on three
little girls, all with slippery
hair.
