By ABNER GORDON
The maintenance of cleanliness in
the home garage as well as its
redecoration are often made dififieult
due to those stubborn oil stains
which commonly appear on wails,
doors or trim. Lubricating oil is non*
drying and tends to penetrate deeply
into wood insufficiently protected.
Consequently, if not completely re>‘
moved, the stains not only become
deep rooted, but also prove an inse
cure foundation for painting, causing
the film to discolor and soften. How
ever, a ccMnparatively simple treat
ment renders the affected wood suit
able for redecoration.
Scrub the stained areas thoroughly
twice with a strong trisodium phos
phate or sal soda solution, allowing
at ieast a week for the wash to dry
between applications.
Follow with a straight household
ammonia rub to neutralize the sur
face alkali which inevitably remains
as a retult of the solution treatments.
When the surface is dry once
■gain, a thin sealer coating of pure
orange shellac over previously spot*
ted areas renders the wood Stable
for paintiag. ^
As assurance against further diffi
culties, apply pure white lead paint
which Is impervious to the action of
oils, water, dirt or grease. Conse-
quenUy, any stains which may result
ire easily removable by simple
washing.
Q.—Are there Insulation materials
which can be blown into the wall
spaces of old houses without costly
raconstruction?
A.—Yes. There are several manu
facturers producing what is known
as fill insulation which is readily
poured or forced-.under spaces after
construction is complete.
Fill insulation is simply granulated
mineral wool or a variety of other
basic ingredients of a cellular struc
ture.

THERE’S nothing namby pamby about these croquettes.
They exult in keen relishing flavor. That is partly because
they are made of ham, in itself one of our most flavorsome of

Stepmother's Attitude

Every year thousands of wo-
Qien take up the task of rais

job of being a foster mother is not
an easy one, but the attendant prob

Especially difficult, says Gretta
f aimer in the February Good E —e-
jceeping Magazine, is the role of
ptepmotber-tbrough-dlvorce. Since,
In this case, the child has' two
mothers, the situation may prove
diorooghly bewildering to him. Fur-
dier complications may occur if any
iiscord arises l>etween the two
households in which he has a part.
For the sake of the child, any differ
ences must be straightened out from
the start.
A stepmother. Miss Palmer ad-
/ises, must not demand a child's nf-
ectidh. Her attitude should^ be 'that
>f a wise, friendly grownup. The
real mother should have first claim
in all decisions; the stepmother
ihould defer to her judgment. But
f there is a problem with which she
feels better able to cope, she should
rst ask the husband to obtain the
other’s permission to handle it. If
pmothers study their jobs, they

-Penny-Wke Meat Cookery
IV£1 a man his choice between
the most elegant fllet nflguon
ind a humble pot roast and he’ll
Dick the pot ’V)ast eve:';'- time.
There’s sometbiag about the rich,
brown surface and the full flavr r
developed through the long, slow,
moist cooking that simply cannot
be duplicated no matter how expen
sive the cut of meat.
The deep well cooker of the mod-
jrn electric range is made to order
for the cooking of such thrifty
cuts. The magical moist heat gener
ated by this cooker gently dissolves
the connective tissue, making these
inexpensive cuts of meat tender
nd delicious. At the same time, the
hickly Insulated walls of the cooker
lold in the heat so successfully
■hat only a very small amount of
■urrent is used and the cost of
ooking is therefore almost nil.
Not only pot roasts, but number
less other inexpensive meat cuts
can be brought to deliciousness in
the well coolcer — cross-cut beef
shanks with noodles, short ribs of
beef in a zippy barbecue sauce, a
brisket of beef with navy beans, or
ii piquant onion sauce. Meat cut for
stewing can be cooked as an Irish
stew with dumplings, or with lima
beans and bacon.
Here, however, are the plans for
one well cooker dinner that will
have the man of the house sniffing
the air appreciatively when he
omes into the house.
- >ef with Apple Horseradish Sauce
(Serves 6)
■ 4 ooiindn hoof chnck
4 tablespoons fat
1 medium-sized onlop
2 teaspoons salt
^ teaspoon pepper
2 stalks celery
6 carrots (scraped but left
whole)
1 cauliflower (broken Into
flowerets)
6 medium-si£ed potatoes
(pared)
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons water
Wipe the meat with a damp cloth
and dry it. Melt fat in well cooker
with high heat and brown the meat
on both sides. When well browned,
drain off the fat and add 1 cup of
water to the meat. Add onion, salt,
pepper, and celery stalks. Cover the
cooker. When steam comes from
the vent, turn the switch to the
lowest position that will maintain
steaming. At the end of 1^ hours
open the cooker and add the car
rots, cauliflower and potatoes. Re
cover and cook for 45 minutes
longer. Remove meat and vege
tables from coolrer. Add flour and
water stirred to a smooth paste.
Turn to high heat and cook, stir
ring constantly until the gravy
thickens. Serve with horseradish
sauce to which giated apple has
been added
If you plan to serve a tossed
green salad and an orange refriger
ator cake as the remainder of the
menu for this meal, we guarantea
it will be voted a success by tha
family.
