ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - An eight inch snowfall immobilized the na tion's capital this past week and sent the Soviet embassy staff into a spasm of unusual business. According to two authorita tive eye wit nesses who were sitting on xne itussuni Of a m bassador's office window ledge (because s "'I!, u,ey are spar- "Vfr" ' ' rows. ad that . (1 J-i I where these jlM very reliable smith sparrows go to sit), this is what occurred inside, that place of mystery four block north of the White House: AMBASSADOR (walking to the window). At last the trop ical season is over, I cabled Moscow to do what they could to change the weather here. It worked. Boy, bring my par ka and another samovar of hot tea, then open that window and pull my chair over to it. Have the photographer take my picture and get it off in the noon diplomatic pouch. Pravda :will love it. BOY: Yessir. Here's the morning Post, sir. ' AMBASSADOR: Look at the way they put the weather news all over the front page. Sometimes I don't under stand the capitalist press at all. Now where is the profit in that? It's probably dictated by the rubber trust trying to sell more boots to the ex ploited workers. What's this - all government workers ex cused from their jobs today because of this little? snow? Wait until the Kremlin hears about this. Now wherc's Hint blasted First Secretary this morning? FIRST SECRETARY: Sor 1 I: y it i hi K 1 ri - Give a 6 year old b'Jrbn-r' Gift-wrapped in TiTths...oj..o 4 n in Nation's Capitol Embassy Staff Work-Out m ry I'm late, Mr. Ambassador, but the snow, you know. I mean the stupid Americans were skidding all over the streets so that I had to drive slowly to avoid denting the proletariat's Cadillac. AMBASSADOR: Draft a re port immediately on the dif ficulties of transportation in Washington during light snow. Check with the mili tary attache for the strategic angle on this. Note that Amer icans are growing softer as we expected. FIRST SECRETARY: (Upon returning to his office) Where's the Second Secretary this morning? Hung over again, I .suppose. It happens to some of the best of them after a tour of duty in Paris. SEC OND SECRETARY: Good morning, sir. Weather held me up. I mean those American auto batteries are no good in brisk weather like this. I've already got a report on this drafted in my mind. Napoleon couldn't stand our winters when he used horses. The Americans are licked be fore they get out of Washing ton in their fair weather tin lizzies. FIRST SECRETARY: ' It had better be good, because the Ambassador is sitting in his office drumming his nails on the desk waiting for it. Stress the snarl of traffic here during snow flurries. You were in the Army, so you know the military implica tions. On the double. SEC OND SECRETARY: (Back in his office) Let's see now, "The American capital is absolutely defenseless in 1 the winter. A light frost here i this week caused an utter col I lapse of motor transportation. The President's big decision for the day was to tell all gov ernment workers they could stay home and keep warm, The Americans are the softest race on earth. Instruct our STAGG OISTIUING COMPANY.

Absolute bunk, obviously. Americans never go anywhere on foot ..." FIRST SECRETARY: (Put ting down the report) OK, as far as it goes, but you over looked the military angle. We should recommend an in crease in production of snow track vehicles. You must think big to advance in this game. AMBASSADOR: (lay ing report aside) Not bad, but in complete. You missed the strategic-diplomatic angle to ex ploit here. We should recom mend that the Premier call upon all nations to disarm completely of all rockets, A bombs, bombers, submarines - everything that doesn't get stuck in the snow. Let the Americans have all the in- spectors they want. When they have scrapped all those terrible weapons , we will take Washington some snowy morning when the American government has rolled over and pulled the covers up tight around its ears. Put that in the report. You've got to see the large picture if you ever expect to be an ambas sador. Boy! Move my chair closer to the window, and fill that samovar again. The air is in vigorating this morning. And gel some crumbs for those friendly birds.

Skunk Grease All Once Were Healing Properties Best way to treat a cold was a hot application of bear grease held on the chest with a piece of flannel cloth. For any trouble occurring in the human respiratory or gans, our pioneer forefathers used what was available, and the melted fat from a bear seemed to have any amount of curative . properties. In many sections of the country bears were plentiful. In the fall they were fat and the source of many pounds of grease. Rendering the fat from these animals was just one of the many duties of the early American housewife. More Geese Goose grease was consider ed by many housewives to be better than bear grease and besides there were more geese. Many people alive to day can remember being smeared with the fat from a GIFT BOXED SEAMLESS NYLON SHEERS 98 prs. Gossamer seamless are shadow-free and snag-resistant. Knit for smooth fit.

This, too, had its advocates. People were convinced that this substance had valuable healing proper ties. Actually, skunk grease didn't smell as bad as the name would indicate; it was just another solidified fat rendered from the carcass of the skunk. It had a low melt ing point, and was excellent for abrasions of the skin or chapped lips. Pretty useful, too, was chicken grease. It always was available and of course in good supply. Mixed with a few rose-geranium leaves or rose petals, it was a soothing, sweet smul'ing ointment; the kind a fly would be tickled to death to be in.

Lard Still Used Blubber, the fat from whales, had many uses too; the only trouble was it was not available to most of the early pioneers unless thev lived near the sea. Lard, the rendered fat of hogs, is still used in many cases where a soothing oint ment is thought to be needed. It was also an important in gredient in pie crust. There was hardly a limit to Hie "grease" uses or sources of supply. Fat, after all, is basically a yellowish substance forming the chief part of the adipose tissue of animals; it can be a solid or a liquid and it is in soluble in water.
