Br RUSSELL C LANDSTROM LONDON, May 31 Ml Half a tdoien American newspsiwr cor respondents were unexpectedly presented to Queen Elizabeth - Friday when she spent hslf an hour at the food ministry watch ing demonstration designed to help housewives set a tasty table on reduced food rations. The queen chatted pleasantly -with tha newspapermen about v American and British prefer-) nees In food and drink; observed 0 st Americans, unlike the Ilrit i, seem to be able to take their tea or leave It and saw to it "that everyone in the group got cup of tea. She showed enthuslssm over ' the government's latest effort to , Instruct housewives In the art of cooking under wartimes dif ficulties and agreed that morale . begins In the kitchen. When tha queen visited bomb- car red Westminster Abbey shortly after the May 10 fire blitz raid sha walked with a alight limp and it was observed the Instep of her left foot had been bandaged with adhesive tape. Official sources declined to discuss tha matter, except to say it was nothing serious. So we were still in the dark today as whether the queen had suffered a slight injury in the May 10 raid or simply had met Oith one of those small mishaps hlch can happen anywhere to anyone's foot. It was obvious today that her majesty no longer walked with limp; but as for that adhesive tape no one asked her about it, and I, for one, never even looked at the queen's foot. It's one of those things that Isn't dona here. Memorial Day i Troops in South CAMP HUNTER LIGGETT, Calif..

LIKELY TO SWEAT Unless It is Insulated, a con crete basement floor will sweat on warm, humid days, because contact with the earth keeps It colder than the surrounding air. One way to reduce thiff conden sation is to insulate the under part of the concrete heavily with a bed oi cinders, gravel, or other porous material which retards the transmission of heat and cold. Several sloping lines of open tile run through this cin der bed. connected to pass under the footing, will drain excess moisture away from the house.

As we can always depend on Kitting a freeze strong enough to spoil our flowers fur full bloom, many people are inter ested in growing some of the hardier kinds thai will do their best after a freeze. One of these is the hardy chrysanthe mum of which there are many varieties, most of them of the improved kinds, too. Now is a good time to either set out a few of the plants or to divide the older clumps, thus getting more plants and better ones. In dividing the older ones, the clumps should have been torn apart the earlier part of the month or in late April. The side shoots should have been cut or torn away from the old shoot and the healthy young plants put into the cold frame or pots to get a good start growing to be set out later in their permanent position. The uiu aiui-K iroin wiucn iney were taken should be discarded. - They should have a location that is sunny at least two-thirds of the day, protected from wind and have some drainage.

Tl Many people are surprised to learn that it is the working up and down of the nails in their sockets that . causes the annoy ing creaking and squeaking of floors under foot. Bulging, humpy floors are also often the result of too few nails, or nails improperly placed. A simple nailing formula for laying sub floors specifies: For four and six inch boards, use two nails per board per joist Another squeak preventor is end-matched sub-flooring which provides a sound, tight base for the finished -!oor and is ade quately strong for any form of residential construction.
