Easy to Grow Rhubarb Pie | 'Makings’ in Any Back Yard

By HENRY L. PREE Soripps-Howard Staff Writer ] RHUBARB, known also as pieplant, is a hardy plant grown for its thick acid leaf stalks used in spring and summer for sauces and pies. Rhubarb is classed as a perennial vegetable and as such must be grown in a sunny part of the garden where it can remain’ without

being disturbed each season.

Rhubarb plants will stand considerable neglect, but unless the

roots are fed regularly, the qual-. ity of the edible stalks deteriorates rapidly, because these stalks depend largely upon the plant food stored up in the roots. Rhubarb thrives ‘best in a well drained but moist _ sandy loam soil, to which lime, manure and humus have been _added. Rhubarb plants are gross feeders and drinkers, Preparation should be 15 inches deep, since rhubarb roots go deep in search for moisture. Two or three plants will satisfy demands of the average family, and these should be set four feet apart, preferably at one end of the garden or in a shrub bed where they receive plenty of sunlight and competition. After five o years, one plant should each spring to be

Good plahts of a locally ‘recommended variety should be purchased and planted with the crown four inches below the surface. Tamp the soil well in around the roots, water freely, cultivate % keep the weeds down, and feed generously. No stalks should be pulled until the second. spring after planting and then only sparingly. Never cut or break off the stalks, a quick jerk is all that is needed to pull the stalk out whole. Remove all flower stalks as they appear, This con~

The foliage is sometimes infected with’ a leaf spot, identified by reddish-brown spots; the only cure is to destroy all leaves in the autmn.

WARTIME LIVING—~ Sugar Planners

Offer Few

Grains of Comfort for U. S.

By ANN STEVICK NEA Staft Writer WASHINGTON, March 4.—The sugar you can't get won't hurt you, according to Surgeon Ceneral Thomas Parran, of the Public

Health Service.

“None of the shortages we have had so far have

been detrimental to health,” he declared recently. ¥“Some of them

have been helpful to persons who fat, and too plentiful.” You won't know until at least June 15, when the next sugar stamp normally would become good, whether you will get as much sugar for your household ration as you have been getting.. The new sugar stamp No. ‘31 has been validated for April 1 for five pounds of sugar, and both stamps 30 and 31 have been made good indefinitely. This same procedure was used to slow up shoe buying, when an extreme shortage threatened. The civilian five-pound ration

Ann Stevick -

. will be kept in any case, because |

| the five-pound bag makes the | most efficient use of bagging facilities. If a change must be made, the June 15 validation date for the next sugar stamp will be postponed. It is hoped, however, that buying will slow dwn under the new system, and the ends will meet on supply and demand. In view of great war demands for shipping space in the Caribbean area, it may seem to some that too great a to-do is being made to keep the home front sugared. Some industrialists will

—~get—cuts, and. many beverage |

makers will have their output curtailed by the new restriction on importation of sugar-syrups, but it doesn’t look like a real belttightening. Odds and Ends

Vegetable seéds and small gardem tools are going to American prisoners in German camps from the American Red Cross. Gardening provides a hobby as well as food. . . . The war production board wants you to look around bathroom cabinets and bureau drawers for a final cleanup. of used collapsible tubes for shaving and dental cream. The old ones are especially valuable. If you've been holding old ones to turn in on future purchases, you can let go of them now since none is required.

Follow Episcopal Ritual

The regular Episcopal ritual was followed. A choir from St. John's Episcopal church participated. It was the second year that the services have been held in the White House. Previously, the President, members of his” family and those invited to attend had worshiped at St. John's. Reasons” of security prompted the change. Virtually every member of the administration was present at the services. An absentee was Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky, who recently denounced .the President's veto of the tax Bill.“~Barkley’s name was not on the list of guests, The President said yesterday he understood Barkley had been sick. The senate was represented by Vice President Henry A. Wallace, and the house by Speaker Sam Rayburn and Democratic Leader John 'W. McCormack of Massachusetts. Mrs. Roosevelt sat at the left of the President. Grouped about them wére their daughter, Mrs. John Boettiger and her son John Jr. Frederick A. Delano, uncle of the President; Miss Margaret Suckley, cousin.

Royalty Present

Seated in a front row and at the right of the President were Crown Prince Olaf and Crown Princess Martha of Norway, and their children, Princesses Ragnhild and Astrid, and Prince Harald. Starting down the home stretch of his unprecedented third term, iAr. Roosevelt was confronted by the greatest collection of international and domestic problems ever to face an American chief executive, The President, 62 years old and in basically good health, planned no claborate recognition of his anniversary in office. Starting his 12th year in office, the President had definitely changed from his early days in the White House which began on March 4, 1833. For one thing, he was 11

things easier, depending more on assistants to handle many of the details of his administrative duties. In his 11th year as President, Mr. Roosevelt made some of his most {dramatic moves. He met Soviet Premier Josef Stalin, Chinese Gen-

British Prime Minister Winston] Churchill at the now historic! Tehran and Cairo conferences. He also spent nearly two weeks in Quebec with Churchill and made a trip to Mexico to cement “good neighbor” relations with President Avila Camacho.

Loses Several Fights

On the home front, Mr. Roosevelt was constantly ont the defensive for the objectives of his administration,

in office, he was engaged in a running fight with congress, reaching a climax when he vetoed the.

Barkley.

The next dealer made me the sama cash offer and the same proposition to top the highest bid I could get elsewhere. - # s AT THE FOURTH place, I encountered a very helpful salesman. He suggested that we drive to a nearby dealer's, telling me on the way that he would top by $25 whatever the neighboring dealer offered. This “neighboring” dealer, who also claimed to pay the highest prices in town, offered a flat $1100. Then, on the way back, the helpful salesman suggested that I call at yet another dealer's and say that he had sent me. (By the way, I had by this time taken the cue and offered to make it worth the salesman’s time to help me get a god price out of my . car.) Well, at the next stop, I told the man to whom I had been sent that I had been offered $1125. He immediately offered me $1150.

At the automobile auctions here this week, prices of the cheaper cars were down $100 and prices of Buicks were down $200. But, at the auctions, of course, dealers bid against dealers.
