the past rather than in the
adventurous present. You will
also ruin the wonderful rela-
tionship you could have with
them.
In order to find yourself as
an individual you must build
your own ego and widen your
interests. The first and surest
step is to make yourself as at
tractive as possible. This will
include figure control, an add
ed interest in clothes, hair styl-
ing and makeup.
After this you will be much
better able to widen your scope
Of activities and interests. Take
up new studies and hobbies.
Spend some of the money YOU
used to spend on the children
on yourself and do some of
the things you never had time
for before. For instance. If you
have any talents which here
tofore have been ignored, ex-
plore them. Maybe you'll want
to take singing or piano les
sons. Whatever your talent or
interest is, don't hesitatel

Bird Feeder Review,
Bleach Suggestion
E. M. W., Bethesda

A few weeks before Christ
mas someone suggested. as a
project for small boys. making
bird feeders from the aluminium
dishes which frozen pot-pies
come in. But no other infor-
nation was given. How are
these made and what is put in
them? Any other bird-feeder
ideas which aren't too hard to
carry out would be immensely
appreciated.
When my B washer was
demonstrated to me. 1 was told
that the bleach should be put
in a quart bottle Il usually
use about one cup of bleach
per 9-pound load and then
filled to the top with water.
When the washer had taken
in all of the wash water, pour
this diluted bleach-mix in the
trap for the soap. I have al
ways done this and have never
had any trouble with holes in
the clothes

READERS CLEARING HOUSE
Gore OF Poinsetfios
Mrs. r. Fl. B., Falls Church


Dear G. B.: Yes. a poin-
settia can be kept and made
to bloom for years. I am not
an authority and am still
learning, but ! have one 3
years old-and 1t is now a
bush and it blooms.
Cut it back now. eight or so
inches from the roots. and put
in a cool. darkish place. Water
it at least once a week. When
spring comes. bring out to
more light. and when frost
danger is over. put out in the
yard. If you can. If not. put
in a bigger pot in a sunshiny
window. If it goes in the
ground, the foliage and roots
will really take of.
The secret of poinsettias is
fall handling. Bring indoors
before the nights have gotten
very cool. or the change to
warmth from cool nights will
make it drop most of its leaves.
1t will still bloom if handled
properly, but will be spindly.
The secret of getting a poin-
settia to form buds is to have
it in spot where it receives
some sunlight. but has long
hours of dark, Hence. a room
that has lights on during the
evening is not good. 1t needs
long hours of darkness. I re-
peat. It should be kept moist
during this period, too. Good
luck. !

Searching for
The is Fluvors
L. B. j., Washington

First Of all. let me say ! read
the Clearing House first thing
every evening and since I do
gain so much help from time
to time, hope l can be OF
assistance sometime myself.
This time I have a request,
though.
While visiting in the Mid
west recently, / ran across Or
binary gelatin desserts. but Of
such exciting flavors as logan
berry. apricot almond. pis-
tachio, spiced peach. etc. I
have searched high and low
since returning, but with no
luck. Believe they were made
in New York State and I think
the box was pink.
Would certainly appreciate
any leads on how to get hold
Of any Of the 16 fiavors of this
gelatin. Thank you in advance
for any clues you may give
me, and here's best wishes for
a continued. bigger Clearing
House-particularly the poetry
selections. Thank you.

Like the Biblical
Story OF Talents
A. F. G., Washington

For E. o. w.: I am rather
late with my suggestion. but
have you tried this idea?
A minister in a small church
I once attended handed out
new one-dollar bills to those
interested, with instructions
to bring them back in two
weeks time. doubled, trebled
or better. ut was amazing how
many did the lastD At a
meeting, the money was
turned in and the stories about
how the money was multiplied
were varied and interesting.
The idea being TO use the in
itial dollar as capital, one
woman invested it in post
cards setting forth the things
she'd be willing to do for a
small return: baby-sitting,
mending socks and turning
collars tfor bachelors), walk
ing dogs, etc. Another held a
sale of white elephants"
which cleared not only quite a
sum Of money-but her house
of dust-collectors as we'll! A
man addressed Christmas
cards and wedding invitations
for a busy businessman and
his wife. Another man ire
tired cleaned yards. No one
seems to feel like doing this in
the winter. so he had more
than he could do.
Hope this helps your church
group.

BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

Many middle-aged women
need to have their egos lifted
instead of their faces.
It is true that many women
find life a bit less zestful at
this age. Life may go limp in
their hands. 1t may seem less
adventurous and exciting and
new depressions may at times
take hold.
There are many reasons for
this and none of them are Sc
rious if you avoid brooding and
start doing. In the first place
this is the time when women
usually see their first grey
hairs, when they may suddenly
notice a few new wrinkles,
when the figure is no longer
girlish, unless they have been
doing something about that.
1t is a time when the body is
going through a readjustment
period. when energy may be
lessening to some extent. 1t is
the period when any physical
weaknesses you may have had
previously begin to show up.
With modern therapy these
conditions can be controlled.
The most important and dam
aging def1ators are the emo
tional and mental ones, and
these are factors which many
women ignore.
Watch Details
In the first place, you cam
not any longer depend on the
glow of youthful good looks.
From now on you must give
special attention to skin and
hair, to figure and posture, to
style and grooming. to giving
yourself a break healthwise.
If you do, you can be much
more attractive than you were
when you were just young,
willy-nilly, heller skelter!
A woman's ego also receives
a blow at this time because she
may no longer be the center OF
things or feel that she is so
badly needed by her family.
Children grow up and leave
home. husbands may become
so involved with their careers
that they do not find time
for much companionship with
their wives. Even worse-msny
marriages have become hum
drum. with each partner TAX
ing the other for granted. The
habit Of hecticness, worry and
dizziness may have set in. BUT
it's almost never too late.
A woman needs love. some
romance in her life. and she
also needs an outlet for her
love. the chance to give happi-
ness to those she loves.
Individual
Do something about it, Find
yourself as an individual again.
In order to do this you must
face facts. In the first place,
your children have gone out
into the world to live their own
lives and they will not need
you much any more.
Do not make the mistake of
trying to live through them,
II you do you will be living in
