Grade Allen Gives Ideas (?)
On Saving Wear on Budget
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood (U.R) Ladies, are your dishes hard to wash? Add soap
powder to the food.
Do your windows always look dirty?
Paint them black.
Are the children always tracking dirt in the back door? Send
them around to track dirt in;
the front door.
Those are Gracie Allen's ideas
for saving wear and tear on the
budget and the housewife.
"Any fool knows, says
Gracie, "that in these days of
high prices we all have to econ
omize."
The comedienne's first sug
gestion for household economy
is serving economical foods like
artichokes.
"There's more left after you
finish eating an artichoke than
when you started," she pointed
out.
Another way of saving money
Is to convince members of your
family they're too fat.
"Trick mirrors add weight to
the argument," she suggested.
Another cooking hint is add
ing a tablespoon of soap powder
to everything. It doesn't im
prove the flavor much, but it
makes the dishes easier to wash,
The little wife also can buy
prefabricated suits for men. They
lend you a bunch of sleeves, la
pels, pockets, button-holes,
pants-legs, seats and zippers and
the wife puts them together.
"The death rale among hus
bands who wear homemade
tlothes is very low," she noted.
"I don't know why, but George
lays It's because few men will
be found dead in them."
Shoots Wife to
Keen Children
Dallas, Tex., Dec. 8 P) Har
old Blankenship, 25, who shot
his pretty brunette wife to
death, says he did it so she
couldn't have their children.
Blankenship fired six bullets
into his 26-year-old wife Tues
day in the downtown office
where she worked. He surren
dered to an officer who ran from
a nearby corner to the office.
He was charged with murder.
Blankenship, an art student,
had arrived from Tulsa Monday
night. He said he and his wife
had been separated two weeks
and she had filed suit for di
vorce. They had two sons, Guy,
3, and Gary, 2.
He told delcctvies: "I killed
her because I didn't want her to
have our two little boys."
There are so many other ways
to save, Gracie found after set
ting her dark-matter to work
(It isn't gray, she says; it hasn't
been used enough.) You can
take off your glasses when not
looking at anything, or roll up
the carpets when nobody is walk
ing on them.
"Lately," she added, "I've even
been shutting off the motor when
I m not using the car.
"These things may seem like a
lot of trouble. But when you add
up the money you've saved, it's
really nothing."

Cold Wave in
Middle Vest
Chicago, Dec. 8 W) The U
S. weather bureau today issued
its first general cold wave warn
ing of the season for the mid
west as frigid polar air moved
southward out of central Mani
toba.
The bureau said the midwest-
em temperatures will range
from 15 below in Minnesota to
20 above in southern Ohio.
Strong northerly winds and snow
flurries over most of the area
will accompany the cold.
The forecaster explained that'
the day's high points in a re
versal of the usual procedures
were reached during the early
morning hours in the area. The
leading edge of the cold passed
over Chicago at 3:30 a. m.
(CST), and temperatures drop
ped three degrees in beginning
their downward plunge.
Bismarck, N. D., where 35
above was recorded yesterday at
11a. m., dropped to three above
at 4 a. m. and was continuing
down.
"The heart of the cold air is
still to come," the forecaster
said. "We look for it to move
southeastward and stabilize
with markedly lower tempera
tures all the way to the gulf."
A storm center moved across
Detroit during the morning and
headed east with a promise of
three to six inches of snow for
New York state. Snow flurries
"some will be pretty hard
flurries" were promised for
most of the midwest.
Rain was reported from
Louisiana northward to Pennsyl

substantial. The rest of the na
