'Light Snow'
Gives Soviet
By A. 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?

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

obviously. Americans never

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.

Bear, Goose. 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

goose when they were suffer
ing from a sore throat or a
lung congestion.
In some sections of rural
America a standard remedy
was skunk grease. 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. Face or hand
cream was not too plentiful

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.
