 It is no longer necessary to re- quest specific frequencies. Just check a box under 'Frequencies Requested" marked 1600-3500 kc and upon issuance of the license you are authorized the use of any or all of the frequencies licensable under Parts and IA of the Com missions rules.
 Another change of great benefit to fishermen and other boat owners is the use of the frequency 21S2 kc for calling and distress. All public coast stations licensed to transmit in the 2 to 3.5 Me bands are re- quired to stand a watch on 21S2 kc during their hours of operation. The Coast Guard in Alaska now has a primary watch on 21S2 kc cold storage plants and canneries which maintain coastal harbOr stations are required to listen on and be able to transmit on 21S2 kc, which means you no longer have to have hat full of crystals not to mention knowing which frequency the station you want to contact listens on. You can NOW contact ANY coastal station on just ONE frequency, 21S2 kc Remember, though, you cannot handle traffic on 21S2 kc After you make your contact on 21S2kc shift to a working frequency if you have a schedule with the sta tion or know they listen on a certain working frequency in ad- dition to 21S2 kc, but you should

SoiIed Wallpaper,
Maker Reports
By D. N. Derwin

Not a new problem by any
means. but one which many
housewives and home owners
continually inquire about, is the
removing of lipstick and crayon
marks from wallpaper.
! A grease spot remover now on
the market will, according to the
manufacturer, clean wallpaper
of all kinds of oils and greases.
including lipstick and crayon,
without discoloring the paper or
leaving a tell-tale ring unless the
wallpaper is exceptionally dirty.
The manufacturer also says
that this grease spot remover will
not take the color out of even
the cheapest wallpaper, nor will
it destroy or discolor fabrics.
/ Another unusual use of this
/ product is to remove grease, es-
specially hair oil, from head rests
rof overstuffed furniture. or to re-
move grease or hair oil from
mems hats and hat bands. 1t
may also be used for removing
grease from painted surfaces and
for cleaning spots on rugs or
carpets.
Round up those old. caked-up
paint brushes in the attic, cellar
and garage and give them a
paint brush bath which will make
them soft. pliable and usable
again, simply by soaking them
overnight in a solution made
from a powder now on the
market.
In addition. a paint brush
which is soft and pliable but
which is covered with fresh paint,
can be washed clean by bathing
in this same solution and then
may be put away for instant use.
Paint rollers, too, may be
cleaned the same way, the man.

Many times, in painting, over
alls and slacks, as vel as paint
ers' drop clothes, become covered
with paint. Two 9-ounce pack
ages of this powder, dissolved in
6 quarts of warm water, will
make solution which will re-
move paint from the cloth or
clothes with only a few hours
soaking. However, the longer
the paint has dried, the longer
the fabric must be soaked in the
solution. According to the max
erS Of this product, as long as
the fabric, garment or cloth, is
washable, it may be soaked in
the solution with no harmful eff
fects.
