Helpful Household Hints
Prescribing the family wash
won't always make your clothing
whittier and brighter.
According to Mamie Whisnant,
N. c. State College home manage
ment specialist, it's not the actual
soaking, but how you do it, that
determines the cleanliness of your
clothes. Unless clothing is proper
ly soaked,( you may be doing
more harm than good.
Proper soaking will help to
loosen stubborn soil and thus pre-
pare the fabric for successful
laundering. Here are some rec
commended soaking methods.
/. Greasy overalls and cotton
work shirts. Cover these garments
with hot sudsy water containing
one-half cup household ammonia.
Soak for Is TO 20 minutes. For
extra convenience, try soaking
these garments in the tub of your
washing machine. Then wiring or
spin and launder as usual
2. Grimy cotton slip covers, cur
tains or play clothes. Soak these
for 10 TO 20 minutes in warm
water containing a detergent. Use
about one-half to one tablespoon
Of detergent per gallon Of water.
After soaking, wiring or spin until
damp dry, and launder as usual.
3. Soiled collars, cuffs, neck
bands, You'll probably have to
loosen dirt on cuffs, collars and
neckbands before laundering since
soil has been ground into those
spots. Work in suds gently with
soap or other detergent you'll use
for washing.
Care OF Electric Mixer
The motor should be wiped off
with a damp cloth after use. Care
should be taken not to get water

Constructive Inquiry

The Washington Criminal Justice
Association will perform a worthwhile
public service in conducting a compre-
henSive, objective study of the admins
tration Of justice in major crimes COM
mitted by juveniles. This has been a
touchy and controversial subject, involv-
Ing the issue of whether waivers of
Juvenile Court in such cases should be
discretionary with that court or subject
to other authority. There have been
several proposals for legislation to change
the present law, which vests sole dis
erection for waivers in the judge of the
Juvenile Court.
The movement for curtailment Of
the powers of the Juvenile Court in de-
Gliding whether a juvenile defendant
should be tried in that court or treated
like an adult criminal in the regular
courts arose from recurrent criticism
OF the present system. Police and prose-
cution officials have charged that waivers
have been refused in some fragrant cases,
with subsequent harm to the public.
Former United States Attorney Leo Rover,
now chief judge of the Municipal Court
OF Appeals, sought to have the waiver
authority shifted from the Juvenile Court
TO the prosecutors office Others have
proposed that the authority be given to
another court. But efforts to revise the
law during the past session of Congress
failed.
The Criminal Justice Association
has been justifiably concerned over the
reports that incorrigible young hoodlums
have been treated too softly in the Juve-
nile Court. Police officials have cited in
stances of young criminals being rear
rested shortly after having been turned
over to the Juvenile Court for previous Of
lenses. The court, in the past, has kept
its records closed to the public and even
to the police in some of these cases If
the Criminal Justice Association can
throw more light on this important prob
lem, the cause of better law enforcement
in Washington will be benefited. We hope
the court will give its full cooperation
to the study.

A Duty on November s

1t has become an accepted fact of
political life that very large percentage
Of qualified Americans fails to vote on
election day. Both major parties and their
presidential candidates have recognized
it as hazard again this year, and have
made the usual appeals that those who
are eligible 90 to the polls and vote. Each
party's chances will be affected by the
efficiency Of their organization in col
lecting tie voters when the day arrives.
This year the JOB will be bigger than
ever, as the Bureau OF the Census reports
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-09

a record number of 102, 750, 900 civilians
and another 81 million military personnel
old enough to vote on November g. And
while several million of these are ineligi-
BILE for other reasonS-such as failure to
register, pay poll taxes or meet residence
requirementS-there still could be the
largest turnout of voters on record. Actu-
ally, for most of the time since 1924, there
has been gratifying increase in the per-
centage of voting participation. In that
year only A per cent of those qualified
went to the polls, but the percentage
climbed steadily to SO per cent in 1910.
There was slight slump in 1914 and 1948,
but in 1852 the Eisenhower Stevenson
race brought modern record of So per
cent as more than 81 million cast their
ballots
1t would be fiattering commentary
upon both candidates and indeed upon
our system of popular government, if this
mark should be surpassed next month.
Voting is both privilege and re-
Sponsibility. Neither should be taken, or
ignored, lightly.

Perfection in the Bronx

A couple of years ago, when he was
with Baltimore, the now-fabulouS Don
Larsen lost more games than any other
pitcher in the major leagues. But look
at him today. There he stands, looms
and towers-the Yankee nonpareil, the
faultlesS titan, the impeccable artist Of
the mound! Certainly, as far as Casey
Stengel is concerned, he has reason to
say of this perfect fellow, as ArioSto once
said Of somebody else, There never was
such beauty in another man. Nature
made him, and then broke the mould"
Anyhow-and this just goes to show
how much people can improve from one
year to the next, or even from one game
to the next-big Don Larsen has achieved
something never before recorded in the
history of the World Series. He has
pitched perfect game, a no-hitter, in
which it took him only 81 pitches to
retire q Dodgers in order, one after an
other, until they all went back to Brook
lyn dazed, shaken, awe-inspired and
hoping against hope that things might
turn out a bit better for them today
Even SO, in their hearts, as professionals,
they must have felt the deepest sort of
admiration for the unparalleled fiawless-
ness that had hit and sunk them before
yesterdays sun went down in the jinx-
filled Bronx.
A poet never can be sure when or
If he pens perfect poem. And the same
holds true for people who paint pictures
or write novels or music. But perfection
OF the kind that Don Larsen has displayed
is measurable. The sports experts, with
their statistics and unique slide rules,
can vouch for it and confirm 1t, with
unaSsailable dogmatism. Alexander Pope
may have been right about certain fields
OF endeavor when he proclaimed that
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see,
Thinks what neer was, nor is, nor e'er
shall be-" But Mr.. Pope undoubtedly
would have modified his judgment If he
had been sitting in Yankee Stadium yes
terday and had seen the shockingly per-
feet thing that happened to Brooklyn's
pride and Joy.

This gives the hoax to all con-
tentions of human equality,
economic equality, social
equality and to equal oppor-
tunity which simply do not
exist in nature in action.
Our wise and gracious God
gave us something superior to
equality. He gave us line

Prosperity's Problems

Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey
has just made an important speech in
Detroit on the question of tight money"
Unfortunately, it is speech which will
not be read by very many people and
which cannot readily be boiled down to
a few simple sentences.
Mr.. Humphrey began with a defense
of the Eisenhower administrations record
in stabilizing living costs, or stated an
other way, in maintaining the purchasing
power Of the dollar During the 10 years
between 1889 and 1852, Mr.. Humphrey
said, the cost of living increased nearly
100 per cent, with corresponding de-
cline in the purchasing power of the
dollar from 100 cents to So cents He
blamed this in large degree on low in
tereSt rates artificially maintained under
Presidents Roosevelt and Truman.
Since the election of President Eisen-
hover in 1852, up to the present time,
the value of the dollar in terms of goods
that it will buy has been reduced from
521 to sos, or about IL cents. During
this period interest rates generally were
permitted to f1uctuate up or down in
response to the demand for money From
this, Mr.. Humphrey concluded:
The record is all too clear. The
evidence of the actual facts is too con-
vincing. While we had arbitrarily cheap
and plentiful money the cost of living
doubled-the value of the dollar was cut
in half. Whereas with money advancing
or declining more freely in response to the
pressure OF demand, We have enjoved a
perfectly remarkable sterilization of the
cost of living and as sound dollar as can
ever be had.
Turning more specifically to the po-
litical aspects of this matter, Mr.. Hum
phrey argued that we should learn from
experience. Our real problem today, he
said, is to live with peacetime prosperity
"a prosperity in which the urge to
expand imposes severe strains on the
available supply of manpower and ma
terials with correspondingly dangerous
inflationary presSures growing out of the
demand for more and more credit.
The Republican answer stated in
overSimplified terms, is to let interest
rates in a free market regulate the
demand for money or credit This, Mr..
Humphrey believes, is the best road to
real and enduring prosperity At the
same time according to him, the Demo-
Gratis are paying lip service to the prin-
ciple of sound money while opposing all
of the measures that make sound money
possible. AS Mr. Humphrey sees it, the
Democratic program, if adopted, would
take us back to the days Of soaring prices
and declining dollar values-in a word,
imitation. The Democrats, no doubt, will
have an answer of their own to the Hum
phrey indictment. 1t is too bad that the
voters cannot be induced to sit down and
make serious comparative study of the
two.
