Wild Cherry Jam?
Miss F. M. S., Arlington
Does any one have sugges
tions and recipes for the use
of wild cherries in jams, jellies
or preserves? I have a wild
cherry tree and hate to see all
those wild cherries going to
waste if there is a use for them.
Thank you.

Leather Marks?
A. E. W„ Alexandria
I would appreciate it very
much if some kind reader
could give me some advice on
how to take marks off a
leather-top table. The marks
were left by small objects such
as a small picture, vase or
candy dish. Also, what is the
best care for a leather table
like this? It was quite expen
sive.

Hot Weather Hints
R. K., Washington
Here are some hot weather
suggestions. If your children
are restless on a hot day, and
you can’t take them to the
beach, try this. Buy a 25-pound
cake of ice and put it in a
clean tub or dishpan. Sit
them dow'n around it with
drinking straws to drain off
the ice water as it melts. Give
them a screwdriver or some
thing to bore little holes in
it and let them pour fruit juice
or cold drinks into the little
holes and drain it up. They
will think of lots of other
things to amuse themselves,
too. I happened to boil eggs
the day we did this and we held
the hot eggs on the ice until
they made a hollowed out
place which the children used
as a dish to set toy cups of
food in to eat. Just the sight
of the Ice is a big help In Itself.
When they finished playing

with it, I set the fan behind
the ice to blow cool air.
A few drops of blueing added
to the water children are play
ing, either the bathtub or pool,
makes it much prettier and it
doesn’t hurt my child’s skin.
Does everyone know that a
widely sold cold drink made
up from packages sold for a
nickel is much better if real
fruit juices, fresh or frozen,
are added to it?
And since cold suppers are
the order of the day, try some
new experiments with jellied
deserts, such as grated carrots
and crushed pineapple with the
apple flavor, or fruit cocktail
with lime, canned pears with
cherry and so on.
A big meat loaf can be chilled
! and sliced for sandwiches for
! two or three days.

Remove Grease Stain
Mrs. J. E. 8., Arlington
To Mrs. M. S., Washington:
1 Rub pure lard into the black
grease spot and let it remain
there a half hour or so. Then
wash out with soap and warm
water, rubbing between your
hands. I have never used this
on nylon shirts, but I have used
| it on the children's nylon
socks and it has worked fine,
j It is also good on all cottonA
and I have used it well on
wool sweaters.

TODAY'S HOME
Start Planning
College Rooms
By MARY L. VAUGHAN
Now's the time to start plan
ning that college room for
moving in next month.
Uppermost fact to remember
in the process is that dormi
tory and sorority rooms are
living rooms as well as sleep
ing rooms.
And it takes a little advance
planning to really turn a dorm
room into a comfortable,
smart-looking home away from
home.
Just about every college
room has two things in com
mon dull, drab walls and
uninteresting furniture.
The big challenge is to
camouflage, disguise, innovate
and come up with a room
you'll be proud of.
Personality is the keynote of ,
the decorating process.
Pick a Color
It begins with the student's
Individual choice in colors,
| combined with an orderly ar
rangement of personal posses
sions and accessories reflect
ing hobbies and special taste.
Fortunately, this room-dec
orating process is not bank
breaking.
Invest in a good bedspread
! and it will last for four years
i and longer. Buy a good study
! lamp, too, because it will prove
an asset on many a late study
night.
An old chair, recovered with
a new fabric will be a popular
spot during gab sessions.
Other ideas for paring down
expenses and having fun at
the same time include using
inexpensive prints for the
walls, framing them yourself.
If your biggest heart inter
est is at Annapolis, reflect your
thoughts with a large framed
photo of your plebe. Add a
framed map of the world and
top oft your wall decorations
with a United States flag.
Or, if you’re a horsewoman
with a wide-open-spaces per
sonality, try using sculptures
of horses, cowboys or cattle on
your dresser or table. Lariats
tied in fancy knots makegood
wall decorations, and if you
are lucky enough to have
Texas relatives, send out a call
for a Mexican saddle blanket
to use for a rug.
Tailored Spread
For your sofa-bed use tail
ored spreads that will stand
plenty of wear. Choose a
pattern such as plaid or a
geometric design, or a plain
bright-colored corded textured
spread. Bolster pillows are
great favorites since studying
in bed is more popular than
sitting at a desk. .

easy to store in the closet, will
be a welcome addition to the
bed when friends drop by for
coffee at night.
In a dorm where it's not
permissible to put tacks or
nails in the wall, try suspend
ing webbing from the molding
to hold pictures or other deco
rations. A piece of fish net
ting will hold groups of favor
ite photographs.
If you are an art enthusiast,
brouse in art shops for inter
esting posters or inexpensive
water colors or copies. Make
your own mats for framing.
Try Plants
Plants are wonderful room
brighteners, so try lining a
windowsill. Or plant an old

Store School
Boards Began
Back in 1932
College Board members in
the ▼ario u s department
stores now are so much a
pert of a store's back-to
school promotion of new
fashion merchandise that
it’s Interesting to note that
the very first one came into
existence in 1932 at Mar
shall Field’s In Chicago.
Seems the president of
the store was a little put out
with the lack of interest
generated in the school
fashions. A plan was worked
out by the store’s bright,
young public relations ex
ecutive. She called up 16
college girls and gave them
SIOO apiece to buy anything
they needed to take back to
school.
The similarity of the pur
chases became a guide for
the store’s buying plan of
clothing for the back to
campus set.
Girls aren’t the only ones
on college boards. Wood
ward & Lothrop's has three
young men. Harold S.
Young. Jr., of Maryland Uni
versity, John White of
Georgetown, and Gerald
Cherry of Harvard, as part
of their team of 23.
Dr. L. Irene Waters
Visits in Hawaii
Dr. L. Irene Waters of Wash
ington was a recent visitor in
Honolulu, Hawaii, where she
attended the annual Hawaii
Osteopathic Convention in
July. Before coming to Hawaii,
she attended the National
Convention of the American
Osteopathic Association in Los
Angeles.
During her stay In Hawaii,
she made a tour of Oahu and
of other Islands In the Ha
waiian chain. Following her
stay in Hawaii. Dr. Waters left

she will visit in Japan.

Rhododendron leaves in a huge
glass globe or a big wastebas
ket will brighten a comer and
they'll last for weeks if you
keep them watered regularly.
Take time before you go
shopping to map out a color
scheme and a budget and make
a list of everything you need.
Start with your favorite color
in a bedspread and build
around that. Use any excess
money to buy inexpensive but
individual accessories.
And keep in mind, now is
the wise time to shop, not
during the first busy fun
<weeks of the semester next
month.
