The Question Box

move chicken grease from a heavy cotton dress? -- A—Grease spots usually. can be removed from washable materials with warm water and soap as in

to rub the particular spot thoroughly. Soaps containing naphtha or kerosene are efficient. 4 Another method employs: blotting paper, fuller’s earth, brown paper, French chalk, powder spread over white talcum powder spread over the spot to absorb the grease. These generally are effective only on spots

dirt. : A third method uses organic solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ether, gasoline, naphtha or benzol. Place a pad of clean cloth or a white blotter beneath the stain and change it as soon as it becomes soiled. Sponge stain. with clean cloth moistened withthe solvent, working from outside to center of spot. Rub with clean cloth until thoroughly dry.

Q—I am a dressmaker and live in a section where there are many factory workers. I have been asked by some of the women workers to make work clothes gor them from government patterns. Where can I get information about these government patterns? A—A new farmers’ bulletin No. 1905, “Work Clothes for Women,” contains: the information you want. It gives details of mechanic's suits, slack suits, coveralls, etc. - As long as the supply lasts the bulletin can be obtained free on Yoru. to the office of information, U. S. departe{ ment of agriculture, Washington, D. C, or it can be purchased for} five cents in coin (stamps not ac=| cepted) from the superintendent of documents, Washington, D. C.

Q—When making ited coffee, is it better to cool the coffee, then add the ice, or is it better to pour the hot coffee over the ice? Should the cream be put in the glasses before the coffee is poured, or afterward?

Wives -and children are called class-A dependents.

Wherever Johnny May Be His Folks Get Thot Check

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—No matter what he’s doing, an American soldier knows that on the last of the month he’s. going to get his salary, even if he has to slap a Jap off the cashier’s desk. It is one of the service's most time-tried methods of keeping morale high.

himself. Don’t write the army unless it’s absolutely necessary; it only gums up the works. But if you have to write, address it to the Adjutant General's Office, Dependency Allowance Branch.

Allotments Rise Rapidly

In addition to the present allotment authorizations, going through the mill at the rate of 10,000 a day, and expected to jump to twice that number in a year’s time, the finance office is handling something over four million personal allotments, which break down into two parts.

{

allotment, in which the allotter can earmark any portion of his base pay to be paid to wife or other dependents. To this allotment the government adds nothing and it is available to all, officer and man alike. The second branch of the personal allotment is for life ‘insurance— either government, national service or private companies. Here the necessary amount is deducted from the man’s monthly pay and applied toward his annual premiums. There's no way, under this system, that a soldier’s insurance can lapse through accident of carelessness. Add these ever-mushrooming allotments to audits on war contracts, overall army payroll ‘and -procurement, and you get a small idea of what the office of the chief of finance is up against. Its daily ton of vouchers is a far cry from the old days of the eyeshaded bookkeeper, poring over his ledgers from a perch on the high stool.

U.S. FLIERS RAID JAP CHINA H. 0.

Lose Lanchi.

CHUNGKING, Sept. 4 (U. P)— American fighter planes pounded Japanese water and rail communications and bombed enemy headquarters in Nanchang today as Chinese land forces wefe reported|’ to have advanced to within six miles of the last major Japanese base in Kiangsi province. A communique from Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell’s headquarters reported that several flights of U. S. army fighters resumed their offensive in central China Wednesday after a period of inactivity in that area since the middle of August. ° The fact that the American

‘ Iplanes concentrated chiefly on Jap-

anese. water and rail supply routes instead of airdromes, from which the enemy reportedly has withdrawn most of his forces, was interpreted by some observers to mean the Chinese may attemp' to recapture Nanchang. - Chinese ground forces in Chekiang province meanwhile were reported to be tightening their encirclement of the air base city of Kinhwa.- A Chinese communique admited, however, that the town of Lanchi—about 25 miles northwest of Kinhwa—had been recaptured by the Japanese Tuesday and added that it again was under attack by the Chinese. The Americans swooped over the Poyang lake area in central Kiangsi, sinking at least seven steamers and a number of small craft, the communique said. They also strafed a Japanese troop train, destroying the locomotive and blasted railway stations and warehouses. -
