SHAMPOO GUARD;
BUNK BEDS.
(From Mrs. M. D., Washington.)
In most large department stores
you will find in the infant's depart
ment a shampoo guard made by a
well-known manufacturer of in
fants’ rubber goods. These are wa
terproof and shaped similar to a
large hat brim. When this 1s put
on a child’s head, the hair is left
exposed for you to shampoo and
rinse without a drop of soap or
water getting in child’s eyes. They
are inexpensive.
Mattress-tearing springs: My two
little boys have bunk beds with flat
springs, and I noticed that when
turning the mattress they would
catch on the springs. I happened to
have an old duck shower curtain, so
I cut this in half, putting one piece
on each spring, and tied it firmly
at each corny. This will naturally
take the wear off the mattresses and
sheets and also keep them cleaner.
For future use, I plan to use some
of my old bedspreads and cretonne
portieres and draperies. If you must
purchase new material, I would rec
ommend something with a hard fin
ish, like canvas or heavy duck.
Why Grow
i
i
By Josephine Lowman
Those of us who have to watch 1
our weight envy thin girls and worn- !
en who can eat like work hands j
and never raise a bulge.
Many women who keep their;
weight down to beautiful propor
tions like jockeys, and few of us can
be careless about our food intake
or stop exercising without unpleas
ant figure results.
In other words, the general pat
tern for most women past 35 must
be an adequate diet, but one that is
somewhat Spartan in that it does
not indulge heavily the rich foods
and does not include between-meal
eating and desserts.
Nevertheless, the slim woman also
has her problems. Recently I gave
some advice to the thin girls who
read my column. In dieting for a
gain in weight or for a loss, indi
vidual eccentricities and allergies
must be considered. If a certain
food on a reducing or gaining diet
disagrees with you, then you will
have to substitute another food
which is in the same food family
and has similar benefits. You must
also be sure that the substitute food
contains about the same number of
calories. Care should be taken when
making substitutions because a sci
entific reducing diet is carefully
worked out in order to provide you
with the foods essential for health
and the calories are also counted.
A recent letter from a thin reader
brings up an unusually difficult
question. She says: "I am allergic
to milk, butter, cream and eggs. I
have not been able to find any diet
to help me gain that does not in
clude these.”
Cream and butter ana eggs ana
milk are a main part of any gain
ing diet and my reader is handi
capped by not being able to use
them. Some people can drink but
termilk when they cannot imbibe
sweet milk. If this is your case,
then substitute buttermilk on your
diet. Cheese (if you can eat it) can
be eaten generously to make up for
the loss in protein and calcium and
vitamins which we usually get from
our eggs and milk. Then there are
many fruits and vegetables w'hich
are high in calorie count. Dried
beans and lima beans have great
health value and are high in calorie
content. Stewed apricots and prunes
will load the pounds on and whole
w'heat or whole grain cereals can be
eaten without cream. These are
quite palatable when sugar alone is
used.
Remember that vitamin deficiency
Is one of the main reasons for un
derweight. Therefore, be sure to
consume a w'ell-balanced diet with
plenty of fresh fruits and green and
yellow vegetables as well as the
high calorie foods.
If you w'ould like to have my
calorie chart so that you can look
up the content of different foods,
sends a stamped, self-addressed en
velope with your request for Leaflet
No. 36 to Josephine Lowman in care

WHITEWASH?
PICKLE RECIPE.
(From Miss K. B., Washington.)
I should like to secure a formula
for whitewash which incorporates
the use of dried glue and a bleaching
agent, some bluing which makes the
whitewash more intensely white. I
shall be grateful to an RCH reader
who will supply one.
Since the canning season is here,
I should like to contribute a recipe
for delicious bread-and-butter
pickles.
Bread-and-Butter Pickles: One
gallon medium - sized cucumbers
sliced paper thin, 8 small white on
ions sliced thin, 2 green peppers
shredded, ti cup salt. Bury the
above, mixed well, in 1 quart cracked
ice and cover with weighted lid. Let
stand 3 hours. Drain.
Make a sirup of the following:
Five cups sugar, 1% teaspoons tur
meric. teaspoon ground cloves, 2
tablespoons mustard seed. 1 teaspoon
celery seed, 5 cups vinegar, not too
strong. In this sirup heat to scald
ing point, but DO NOT BOIL the
vegetable mixture. Seal in sterilized
jars. Chill pickles before serving.

MERINGUE.
(From Mrs. J. K., Hyattsville.)
To Mrs. L. B., Quantico: Here is
my recipe for a fluffy, tjasty me
ringue: One tablespoon water to
each egg white, 1 heaping table
spoon sugar to each white. Beat
water and egg whites until they are
dry and will stay in the bowl when
it is inverted. Then add sugar 1
tablespoon at a time. Drop by spoon
fuls on pie and let it remain in
peaks. Bake at 325 degrees, then
let pie remain in oven until it is
cool. Two egg whites make a thick
meringue for a 9-inch pie.

RADIATORS VS. CRAWLERS.
(From Mrs. R. K. L.. Alexandria.)
To Mrs. R. F. O.: To my knowl
edge neither of my daughters ever
burned themselves on our radiators
in spite of the fact that they were
hot enough to burn if they had
touched them. They seemed to treat
them with a healthy respect, some
times holding their hands toward
them and saying, “hot.” They could
feel the heat coming out of them.
I would think your son would soon
learn to keep away from them.

“THANK YOU” NOTE:
KEEPING CHILD COVERED;
BANANA CAKE.
[ (From Mrs. L. L., Silver Spring.)
In the first place I want to tell
you how very much I appreciate
your response to my request on In
formation about fencing in my
active 2-year-old son. I did not agree
with you all, but I was grateful for
the time you spent on writing the
letters anyway. We have him feneed
in! We cut black locust trees for
posts, bought double picket wire
fencing, trimmed the posts neatly
and the result is a fence which
looks rustic and brings back mem
ories of our own homes as children.
Our son is quite happy playing
alone part of the time and having
guests part of the day. His dad
takes him “out front” after dinner
for a big romp with the older chil
dren. I am much less harassed this
way and can finish my work early
and take him to the creek or to
walk in the woods.
To some of the mothers who
worry about keeping their children
covered I'd like to pass this bit on
to you. Our son sleeps on his
tummy and we put a big safety pin
through the wool blanket and pin
it to the back of his pajamas. He
can toss and tumble ajl he wants to,
but still the cover falls back over
him when he goes into his favorite
tummy position. One caution, moth
er: Don’t cover too heavily. The
child will throw off the covers if you
do. Our boy sleeps under one wool
blanket all winter and never has a
cold.
This is getting lengthy, but I’d
like to send in a banana cake recipe
which we like very much. It is
grand sliced thin with cream cheese
in between and our son loves it. It
is very easy to make, too.
Two and two-thirds cups sifted
flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1
teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon cloves,
iy2 teaspoons cinnamon, % tea
spoons nutmeg, % cup shortening,
1 y3 cups sugar, 2 eggs (well beaten),
1% cups mashed banana (4 or 5
bananas), 2 teaspoons vanilla ex
tract.
Sift together flour, baking pow
der, salt, spices, cream shortening.
Stir sugar gradually into shortening.
Add eggs and beat well. Add flour,
alternating with banana, small
amounts at a time, beat after each
addition until smooth. Stir in fla
voring. Pour into greased layer
cake pans and bake at 350 degrees
about 35 minutes.

LET HER HAVE SPECS!
(From P. TV., Washington.)
To Mrs. C. * S.: Your problem
isn't at all unusual. I'm 13 and
; I would give 10 years off my life
and' my new an„ora sweater if I
could wear glasses. But unfortu
nately I am what some people call
blessed (?) with perfect vision! If
I your daughter is lucky enough to be
ab'j to have an opportunity to wear
glasses, for pete’s sake let her! I
don't know how your daughter’s
tastes run, but I think blue and
white checked plastic frames are
atomic!! Oh, I forgot to say that
, the reason your daughter wants
'glasses is because of the supercolos
sal frames. They give you, espe
cially the harlequins, definite specs
appeal. So please, puh-leaze, let her
have them. If she wants them half
as much as I do she’ll hit heaven
when she gets her specs.
' (From Mrs. R. C„ Falls Church.)
To Mrs. C. J. S. of Mount Rainier:
It amused me no end to read ypur
letter in The Star because I had
exactly your same* problem in Cali
fornia when we were living there six
months ago. My 16-year-old daugh
ter also pleaded for glasses, com
plaining of headaches and smarting
eyes, finally disclosing as the parting
argument that “all the girls were
wearing them.” We discovered later
that they were so popular some of
the girls wore the frames without;
glass in them—painted with nail
polish or enamel to match a favorite
ensemble! The mistake we made
was giving in to our daughter and
buying her glasses. It cost $6 for i
the optometrist's fee and $20 for the
glasses, which had blue plastic
frames and the new “upsweep.”
When Joanne had worn them a
few times and decided they didn’t
“do a thing for her,” she promptly
refused to wear them. I think all
this to-do which fashion magazines
have been making over fancy frames
decorated with rhinestones, flowers,
plaids and vivid colors and "de
signed to suit the contour of the
face” is responsible. Let your daugh
ter indulge in a fancy but inexpen
sive pair of sun glasses this summer
and save your dollars!

ENGLISH COOKIES.
(From Mrs. J. F. T.,
University Park.)
For Mrs. D. L. L. of Washington:
This recipe was sent to me by a
British family who entertained my
husband while he was stationed in
London during the war. It came in
measurements of ounces and re
ferred to dried egg mixture, etc.,
but I have made these cookies most
satisfactorily by using: Ohe fourth
cup lard, '4 cup margarine, about
*t of a beaten egg, 14 cup sugar,
1V4 cups flour, vanilla to taste.
Cream fat and sugar, add egg and
vanilla, then flour. The mixture
should be kept very dry with only
just sufficient- moisture (egg) to
bind together, otherwise they will
flatten out during cooking. Make
into small balls (approximately size
of small walnuts), roll into corn
flakes or oats. We like quick rolled
oats best. Bake in moderate oven,
375 degrees, about 20 minutes. This
will make 24 delicious "meltirfg
moments."

“NO POCKET IN A SHROUD."
(From Mrs. M. A. S., Washington./
I am sending a copy of a poem
that Mrs. M. G. F., Washington, re
quested.
NO POCKET IN A SHROUD
Spend your money while you're living;
Do not hoard it to be proud;
You can never take it with you:
There's no pocket in a shroud.
Gold can take you on no farther
Than the graveyard where you lie:
Though you're rich while you are living
You're a pauper when you die.
Use it, then, some lives to brighten.
As through life they weary plod:
Place your bank account in heaven.
And grow richer toward your God.
Use it wisely, use it freely:
Do not hoard it to be proud;
You can never take it with you.
There's no pocket in a shroud.

College bound lossies will want to save their heavy perfumes for date-time. For day
wear they might like either a cologne or a perfume that suggests the days of early America
when spices played such an important role. This perfume is meant to be worn with
tweeds and the other tailored clothes that make up the wardrobe of a college girl. The
"Jib" coat of tweed is designed by Vera Maxwell. «

College girls going to school here
in Washington will not have the
cosmetics worries that girls going
to school out of town will encounter.
With packing space at a premium it
will require careful planning from
beginning to end. What to take and
what to leave home will be the
burning issue. Not taking a lot of
items is the best idea. Also making
a list of what you will need during
the semester is a great help. With
this you’ll be able to go to a drug
or department store in your college
town and stock up once you arrive
at your destination.
Don't overlook the chance of
bottles getting broken in transit.
The following items do travel safely,
so we think you should know about
them.
YOU'LL BE WEEK-ENDING away
from your own' campus, too. occa
sionally. It’ll be an easy thing to
remember to take along your tooth
brush when you own a "totebrush.”
This consists of a separate brush
and a refillable reservoir generously
filled with toothpaste. The kit is
designed along straight-line prin
ciples and the brush folds inside.
It’s a "natural” for you when you
plan for that football week end.
ALONG THE SAME WEEK-END
LINES. You may have a week-end
hostess. It would be a nice polite
gesture to take her a little gift. It
need not be elaborate: merely a
gracious way to say "thank you”
for a wonderful week end. A cylin
drical package done up in a mauve
metallic wrap contain^ six guest
size cakes of soap in a delicate
mauve color and might solve your
problem. These round minatures of
this well - known beauty house's
soaps are scented with a nice floral
odor.
YOU HAVE SEVERAL BUT
THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT: We
are talking about scarfs, of which
you no doubt have a number. But
not like this one—we bet! It’s
scented with a wonderful French
perfume that hints of travels and
happy times. The labels of dis
tant cities are gayly printed on it.
But that’s just a little about the
story of this exciting new scarf. It
is scented not for a day, a month
or even months. It’s fragrance will
last for a year. Hopping to and
from classes will keep you on the go.
Some mornings you may be too busy
to put on your cologne. With this
scarf you won't have to. A soft
fragrance will play around you all
through the day. How's it done?
Briefly, the scarf is impregnated
with the perfume without actual
contact of the essential oils. The
perfume is imbedded in the ma
terial.
YOU'VE GOT CURLS: And what
pretty ones you have, even with
your curlers on! Ribbon curlers
that are gay and perky enough to
wear anywhere, and you won’t have
to feel apologetic about putting up
your hair because these curlers
come in colors to match your house
coat or your "go to market” outfit.
Your hair doesn’t have to be wet,
or even damp to take a soft long
lasting wave. Dampen the curler
and just roll your hair around it.
Sharp edges that can break off
hair ends just don’t exift. A peace
ful slumber is also yours because
these new curlers don't dig into your
scalp.
Fitting Punishment
By A ngelo Patri
The punishment meted out to chil
dren should have some direct refer
ence to the offense. It should re
sult in enlightenment, better under
standing and better ways, not in
resentment and anger. When a child
feels that his punishment is de
served and in accordance with his
error, he does not feel resentment
and hate. He feels bad about the
whole matter, but decides to keep
out of trouble thereafter, at least
that particular kind of trouble.
When a little child disobeys, his
disobedience should be checked at
once, his fault shown him, and his
punishment immediate. • Punish
ment need not be severe to be effec
tive. It must, however, be intelli
gent; and it must be of a nature to
make its acceptance logical to the
child.
If a child takes something that he
is forbidden to take, some personal
belonging of another, it is right and
logical to deprive him of the use of
something belonging to him for
a while, so that he learns how it feels
to lose a precious belonging. But if
he has made such an error and his
mother says, “Now just for that you
cannot go to meet daddy tonight.
Daddy does not like bad boys,” that
punishment is—in my opinion—the
wrong sort.
The pleasure of meeting daddy
had nothing in relation to breaking
the cup he took from the closet to
make mud pies. His mistake was in
taking something belonging to some
one else without permission, and in
disobeying the rule that forbade him
taking anything out of mother's
kitchen- for his play. His fault lay
in a field unrelated to meeting
father. By pushing it into that field,
the whole matter lost relationship
to actuality and became one of a
struggle between child and parent.
The child erred, mother tried to hurt
him. She hoped the hurt would
teach him obedience about taking
things from her kitchen. The child
could not see the relationship and
resented the punishment.
And it was not right to say that
dady did not like bad boys, mean
ing that daddy did not like him.
Daddy is going to love his son no
matter how many cups he breaks,
no matter what trouble his breaking
cups creates. The little boy should
be taught that his father and mother
love him, will stand by him, protect
and defend him under all circum
stances, so that he can depend upon
their love in time of need.
Punishment is necessary at times,
but as far as possible it should be
the logical outcome of that mistake.

Capital Careers
By Margaret Child
A woman, of wisdom. Actress
Paulette Goddard once remarked
that a woman who will tell her age
will tell anything. Like any other
rule of life, how- _
ever, mis one
has its excep
tion. That is
WMAL'i Peg
Eck, who is so
u n c o n c e med
about her own
years (41) that
she blithely tells
them even to
people that she
knows will print
the dire fact.
This, however,
is not because
Peg cannot keep
a secret. More
T't Kck.
likely it Is because she looks so
much more like 25 that the only
feeling that publication of hef
actual age can arouse is one of envy
in sister hearts.
Peg Eck, tiny, lovely blonde, is
the only woman editor on a radio
news desk in Washington, and one
of the few in the country. This is
a position somewhat comparable to
that of several editors on a news
paper and, similarly, usually a
man’s Job. Imagine the years of
struggle Peg experienced to reach
this almost unattainable goal—how
she worked to prove herself worthy;
how she fought to break down the
barrier of prejudice that is attached
to any traditionally male position.
Imagine, but don’t believe. The
actual facts are that one day in
1943, Peg walked into WMAL and
asked for a job and was hired and
soon, without any fuss or fight,
promoted. She could do the work
so the station gave it to her to do.
Peg is a native Washingtonian,
second generation no less. Before
going to WMAL, she had been with
the Office of Export Control where
among other duties, she worked on
confidential reports for President
Roosevelt. His death was Just one
of the many station-shaking events
that she has covered since Joining
WMAL.
The WMAL newsroom has the
serenity of a factory operating at
full capacity. Actually it is a fac
tory where constantly changing
world events are the raw materials
which (Peg forms into the graphic
scripts which the station's crack
team of commentators broadcast.
Five teletype machines hum and
click constantly day and night
flashing in the latest news from
around the globe. Desks are littered
with dispatches which must be
broadcast within minutes before
'some fresh occurrence makes them
i passe. In peacetime—if you leave
those machines for 15 minutes to
grab a cup of coffee and a sand
wich, a strike may be called or a
world leader shot and a rival station
will be the first 9n the air with the
(news. In wartime, you didn’t leave
! them at all, and an office couch was
I Peg’s bed many 4 night.
The Sunday afternoon Home sur
rendered to the Allies was typical
of the war days Peg experienced.
I She was alone at the station when
jthe flash came. Within minutes she
jhad set up special news programs,
I called the station’s cOhimentators
! back to work from their homes, pre
pared the copy for their broadcasts
and arranged for guest appearances
by qualified Government officials
commenting on the capitulation.
The job today isn’t much differ
ent. Communist spy revelations
have replaced battle bulletins, out
the pace is just as terrific. When
Ghandi died, there was a man in
town who had somt rare recordings
of .the Indian leader speaking in
English. Peg found him first and
WMAL scooped the other stations.
The other day the network sent
down an engineer to wire record the
spy testimony on The Hill, with
equipment that would only work on
the type of current NOT used at
the Capitol. Peg became a second
string engineer herself until that
crisis was resolved. If some one tells
her to stand in as a program pro
ducer on a moment's notice, she be
comes a producer. The only thing
she hasn't done yet at WMAL is
broadcast and she could be one of
the best with her knowledge of na
tional and international affairs. Yet
she was telecast—in Philadelphia re
cently. “You’re going on television.'•
they told her, pasting her with Max
Factor's special TV makeup. And
she was on.
As far as Peg Is concerned, there
is no special formula foi a woman
holding a man's job, overseeing a
staff of news names like Baukhage,
Agronsky, Godwin. She Just acts
naturally, which Is friendly and
sincere, and does her best work,
which is tops. She doesn't emphasize
her feminity, yet neither has she
submerged it so deep that she
doesn't draw whistles of apprecia
tion for her slim Agger and her
French perfumes.
Peg loves piano music and has
quite a collection of records of same.
Otherwise she has no hobbies In the
strict sense of the word unless de
voting her life to her son can be
called a hobby. His name is Jack,
he is 20, a college engineering stu
dent, and Peg’s pride and joy, as
she must surely be his!
