HAIR GROOMING CAN STAIN

For the sake of your clothes, be
careful what you wear when you
get that home permanent or apply
rinses or dye to your hair. Ac-
cording to the American Institute
of Laundering, stains from some
permanent wave solutions. rinSes
and tint are almost impossible to
remove when the garment is sent

clothes use several old towels you
won't mind wasting to dry your
hair and put over your shoulders.
It's also best to wear an old dress
while grooming your hair.

Census Bureau
Work About Farms
Kept Confidential

Americas more than S million
farmers are being asked to COOP
crate with the Bureau of the Gen.
suS, Department OF Commerce, in
the 1854 Census of Agriculture
which is now under way. This
census is the 10th in series of
nationwide farm canvasses since
the first farm census in 1948, over
100 years ago.
In most States. copies of the
census QUESTIONABLE are being
mailed to farm operators in ad-
vance of the enumeration which
began early in October and will
continue into December. The start
ing date for the census has been
set for the close of the normal crop
harvesting season in each area.
QueStionnaires to be used in diff
ferent areas have been designed
to cover the crops commonly pro-
duced in these areas, while a num-
Der of questions common to all
farms will be included in each var
iation of the QUESTIONABLE. In
seven Southern States where the
sharecropper system is followed,
the questionnaireS will be deliver
ed in person by the enumerators
to assure the consolidation of re-
ports for multiple-unit farms.
The mail QUESTIONABLE used in
most of the States is accompanied
by a letter from Director Robert
w. Burgess of the Bureau of the
Census. This letter requests each
individual farm operator to fill in
the answers and have the COM
pleted questionnaire ready for the
census enumerator when he calls
at the farm a few days later. The
enumerator will assist the farmer
in filling out the form, if he re-

WASHINGTON - The nation
votes for ABS Representatives and
28 Senators on Nov. 2, the first
Tuesday after the first Monday
Of the month. The national elec-
ton. however. did not always fall
on that day
Until 1872 each state fixed its
cwn day for voting for Congress,
the National Geographic Society
says. Often it was not the same
as presidential election day, set
in l845.
Between those dates. the "Oc-
tober states" Pennsylvania,
Ohio and lndiana-voted early
for their Representatives. Their
elections were watched as i'm
portant Straws in the wind. Even
today Maine, by special eXcep-
tion and an early winter, votes
in September for all offices ex-
Cept presidential electors.
Senatorial elections did not ex-
isl until the 18th Amendment
/ became law in 1918. Previously
Senators were elected by the
State legislatures.
MIR. DUNCAN'S DAY
Why does election day fall in
November ? Harvesting is oven
then. and winter has not yet
made the roads impassable." said
Alexander Duncan, Whig Repre-
sentative from Ohio, VINO wrote
the presidential election-day law
in l845.

cans date had to be set not more
than "a DAYS before the first
Wednesday in December, wher
the electoral college met-anc
still meets-every four years
congress, however, hoped to
make it at least 30 days ahead.
1t could be the first of Novem-
ber, for businessmen make out
accounts on the first. 1t couldn't
fall on Sunday, ior unlike Euro
Leans, Americans feel the Sab
bath is no day for voting. Monday
would leave too little time fol
travelling to the aolls.
Thus the present election day
was chosen. 1t never falls or
the first, nor later than Nov. 8
BY giving America nationa
polling day, it eliminated such
scandals as "pipe-laying,' the
practice of sending politica
gangs across state lines to VOTE
more than once on different
election davs.

Fruit Coke Recipe

Christmas may still be a couple
of months away, but it's time now
to make your seasonal fruit cakes
if you want them to be properly
aged.
Fruit cakes make wonderful
gifts for friends and neighborS, so
making them now will help to SIM
plify the actual gift shopping
you'll have to do later. One of the
newer ideas for fruit cake gifts is
the one-pound loaf. You'll find it
much easier to slice and ever so
much simpler to wrap than the
traditional giant round fruit cake.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A nayS-
terry woman-her nervous hands
visible behind a protective screen
described yesterday how Rus
sian wartime troops raped her
in a mass attack. She collapsed
as she finished her dramatic re-
cital.
The woman detailed her own
personal horror story to a House
committee on Communist ag-
gression. which is compiling re-
ports on Red atrocities.
Austrian-born, she said she
was in Hungary in 1914 when
the Red Army rolled in. Russian
soldiers raped her 9 or 10 times
in quick succession, she added,
and left her terrified and dis
eaSed.
1t Was the Rule, She Says.
Representative Alvin M. Bent
ley. Republican. of Michigan,
committee chairman, asked her
at one point if, rape by Red SOL
diers wasn't the exception rather
than the rule. &
ut certainly was not" she re-
piled. 1T was the rule. If you
met a young girl or even an
older woman and she said she
had not been raped, you looked
at her as if something must be
wrong with her.
Eve talked about 1t freely. It
was nothing to be ashamed of.
Every girl was raped at least
once"
Identity Withheld.

only as Madame x" as she took
