Carlos Davila, popular exâ€"Presiâ€" dent of Chile, has been appointed special ambassador to five Central American countries. With European markets closed, Chile bas asked Daâ€" vile to make the most of trade posâ€" sibilities inside the Western hemiâ€" J. H. Crutchfeld of Pittsburgh has devised an auto sticker reading: "Give a lift to every man in uniâ€" The Newport News Shipbuilding company recently painted the army transport West Point in the amazing time of exactly eight hours. Attention, Mr. Tom Dewey: The U.S.0. did not show up very helpâ€" fully in the maneuver area. In some of the towns the local organizations did make an effort to provide the soldiers with bathing and laundry facilities, but in general the U.S.0. fell down on the job. It should have made special arrangements for the men in this backwoods region. So thinking of Director LaGuarâ€" dia, the, friend remonstrated: "If you introduce such bold ideas, what will the mayor say?" The First Lady smiled. "My dear," she said, ‘"I don‘t think the mayor will say ‘No‘ to me." NOTE â€" Mrs. Roosevelt cannot spend full time at her desk in the O.C.D., and during her absences, the job will be held down by her good friend Mrs. Henry Morgentbau, wife of the secretary of the treasury. MERRYâ€"GOâ€"ROUND What the army needs for men in southern areas is short pants. The long trousers are too hot and diffiâ€" cult to keep clean. British officers observing the maneuvers wore shorts and looked cool and swagger. Observed one second army wit anent the fact that the war games were held in the "Cajun" (Arcadiâ€" an) section of Louisiana, "450,000 soldiers and all looking for Evangeâ€" line." When he was U. S. military atâ€" tache to Switzerland in 1938, Maâ€" gruder sent a report to the war deâ€" partment on the march of Hitler‘s mechanized forces to conquer ‘Ausâ€" tria. In this report he said that Nazt tanks and trucks were of poor qualâ€" ity and that many of them had broken down en route to Vienna. Today, Hitler‘s tanks and armored cars are the model for modern warâ€" fare. MRS. ROOSEVELT‘S JOB A friend of Mrs. Roosevelt came to see her at the White‘House, to talk about the First Lady‘s new job in the Office of Civilian Defense. She was much impressed at Mrs. Roosevelt‘s grasp of the problems, but a little disturbed at the boldness of some of her plans. This U. S. military report was immediately picked up by the Britâ€" ish who placed great confidence in the word of a U. S. military attache. One was the technical dificulty of the flight across Germany. The othâ€" _ ‘The flight from London to Moscow is not the easiest thing in the world, meross enemy territory. The British bombers which make the fiight use as much of the night as possible over German territory and also go up to tremendous altitudes. also had to: fly in sectionsâ€"three different planes, flown on different days, with the time of departure kept a dark secret. And the last sections were delayed in London. to Moscow occurred before Averill Harriman left Washington, when it was proposed that China, nearest friendly neighbor to Russia, should sit in with Harriman, Stalin and the U. 8. MILITARY ATTACHE Gen. John Magruder was recently appointed head of the U. S. miliâ€" tary mission to China in order to heal the slight to Chiang Kaiâ€"shek when he was not permitted to send an envoy to the Harriman conferâ€" ence in Moscow. But General Maâ€" gruder is more famous for another chapter in his life. But the state department objected â€"and for a highly unexpected reaâ€" son. _ Appeasementâ€"minded diploâ€" mats inside the state department élaimed that a Chinese mission to Moscow would offend Japan. The United States was trying to woo Jaâ€" pan away from the Axis, they arâ€" gued, ard so nothing must be done to rub the Japanese fur the wrong In the end, Japan reaffirmed its partnership in the Axis; but only after the U. S. mission to Moscow already had started, also after Nazi victories in Russia seemed on the upâ€" grade once again. So the appeaseâ€" ment policy of the state department got nowhere. NOTEâ€"Key to Japanese policy of friendship for the United States or allegiance to Germany always is the barometer of Nazi military sucâ€" cess. If Hitler is winning, Japan will stick by him; and if the U.S.A. looks stronger, it is vice versa.

The church hierarchy lived in wealth and splendor. The spell of the priesthood once broken let loose a revengeful mood in the people. The Russian church has been throughly exposed and the people are no longer afraid of superstitious preachings. The government has made it legal now, for any who want to adhere to the old ideas. The revolution in Russia occurred in our own time. The revengeful atâ€" titude of the Russian â€"proletariate has been no more brutal or merciâ€" less than revolutions in other times. The Russian Church had been rather cverbearing and practiced many exâ€" tortions upon common people. A farâ€" mer could not plant an acre of ground until the priest had been summoned to perform some super stitious ritual for which he had to Miss Jeanne Moreau, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. E.

A revolution is a terrifying upâ€" heaval of society caused usually by a former legal protection of some class of people, as in the France of Louis XVI, and of a religion, as in England in time of Henry VIII.

Now in England, Scotland and Wales, Proestats and Catholics live together in mutual tolerance. a man in jail or seize his property who welcomes and entertains Euroâ€" pean princes and ladies.

Herbst, 160 ‘Way Back 646 October 6, 1921 Crane, of Highland 99 you the this ~‘-'d.--i~.h Wooden Fruit Bowls Question: I have seen some fancy fruit bowls made of woodenware in some of the department stores. They have a high gloss finish. ‘What maâ€" terial is used to finish the bowls in this way, and how is it done? I have some unfinished bowls that I should like to finish in this way. Answer: Get a smooth surface on the wood by rubbing it with fine steel wool" or very fine sandpaper. Wipe off the dust with benzine, beâ€" ing extremely careful of fire. Finish with two coats of a good quality quickâ€"drying varnish. Pull the gloss of the first coat, when dry, by rub» bing lightly with very fine sandpaâ€" per; wipe off the dust, then apply the finish coat. L Hardened Paint Brushes Question: Please advise the best method to restore paint brushes that were allowed to dry hard and have been unused for two years. Answer: To remove hardened paint from a brush, soak in paint remover.. Or, you can use any one of a number of brush cleaning comâ€" pounds on sale at paint and hardâ€" ware stores. Brushes in which paint has hardened will not be satisfacâ€" tory for fine painting. The bristles usually lose elasticity and form. Answer: Calcium chloride is a fair binder for very fine cinders, or dusty paths or driveways. For coarse cinâ€" ders, gravel or broken stone, emulsiâ€" fied asphalt is better suited. Your Cinder Walk Question: Would calcium chloride serve as a binder for cinders outâ€" side the house on a walk? If not, what would be an inexpensive bindâ€" er? We are not in a position to make of a summer cabin, I plan to attach neath? Answer: Rather than tar paper 1 Question: Inside our sun porch the walls are red brick, like the outside bricks of the house. I should like to paint the brick walls inside the porch in an ivory color. What kind of paint should I use? Answer: Casein paint or a cement Te brick. .

If the cold air supply is obtained by recirculation from the building, the area of the cold air return pipe must be at least equal to the sum of all the warm air leadâ€" er pipes. It would be advisable to have a reliable heating man check the heating capacity of the furnace, the heat supply ducts and the outâ€" Question: We are confronted with the problem of how large a cold air intake our hot air furnace requires in order to give the maximum amount of heat throughout the house. There is a screened opening on the right side of the furnace, but since we were not getting enough heat, we decided to have another opening made on the other side of the furnace. There is no noticeable improvement. Can you make ‘any suggestions? Answer: Air taken from outside the building should have a cold air duct area not less than 80 per cent of the total area of the warm air Answer: A floor grinding machine, of the type used by terrazzo floor contractors, can be used to smooth down the surface. Get an estimate on this method from your local terâ€" razzo and tile man. A topping coat of portlarid cement could be laid over the present floor after properly preparing it for the new cement. The Portland Cement association will gladly send you a bulletin on this subject, on request. The New York office is at 347 Madison avenue; the Chicago office at 33 West Grand ivenue. Rough Cement Floor Question: Is there some simple, inexpensive way to resurface my rough cement floor in the cellar? The finish is somewhat like a sandâ€"foat plaster finish. Moldy Window Frames Qm: In my new house the varnished wood of the windows has started to turn dark, and mold or mildew has formed on them. How can this be prevented? In repainting the windows, should all varnish and mold first be removed? How* Answer: You will probably find that the water that causes the milâ€" dew comes in through cracks around be to close these cracks which can be done with a coat of paint. Take off the inside varnish with varnish remover; the mold should go with it. If it does not, scrub with steel wool wet with a disinfectant.
