Your kitchen may never reek of Rarlir or dead fish but a Washington scientist reported today he has a compound capable of overcoming them. Dr. Lowell B. Kilgorc sniri his new compound, sprayed in the air in the form of a mist, will "completely deodorize" all common household odors. The smell of tobacco smoke, cooked cabbage, peeled onions and other odors will vanish in from 10 to 30 seconds after a five second application, he told reporters.

The whiff of garlic and dead fish, Kilgore. said, takes about two minutes to overcome: while the original smell Is eliminated, a secondary but inoffensive odor remains for a while. He says the substance has been under successful lest for more than a year and might be available to the public around the first of next year.

Well do I remember those frosty, clear, starlit mornings, when we rushed to make coffee and set botmliliil trays with fresh snffron buns, drape ourselves in lotiR while nightgowns, and crown our heads with wreaths ol pine bows and as many candles as we dared to carry. Thou, with the candles buniini', we proceeded to dispense our bounty, first to our parents and then to our neighbors and friends, sinning Christmas carols and thus, in a solemn and somewhat awed spirit, inauguniiliiK holiday season The Lucia tniy, with its buns, slars, and Simla Clauses, still, over the flight of years, wafts a spicy IrnRraivo of al- raislns, and cardamom cup lukewarm ater. 1 cup scalded milk, 3 cups sifted '1 cup melted vitaminized margarine, 1-3 cup sugar, 1 egg (well beaten teaspoon salt, teaspoon almond extract, teaspoon crushed cardamom seeds, 1 egg yolk beaten). 1's teaspoons water, confectioners' sugar icing, candled cherries, silvered toasted almonds.

New Wallpapers For '49 Vivify The Old Motifs Snowcap" taller than 5 feet 10 Inches might rest more comfortably on longer bedding. Longer lengths, however, must be ordered specially and cost, a little more. motuls, seeds." Although New 1949 line of wallpapers includes both modern designs that are fresh looking, but not too extreme, and soft patterns composed of traditional motifs worked out In a fresli manner. In many, abstract figures are softened by combination with small motifs of ferns or flowers, while in others, traditional subjects are treatd whimsically so that they might be used in informal settings. Instead of being wary of such usual subjects as roses, leaves, boats and birds, the designers have given them a boost by combining them with textured grounds, geometric motifs or doodles.

Color Combination Equally outstanding are the colorings and the many combinations offered for each design. Gray- green, soft gold, dull charcoal, violet-blue and rich pink-toned biege are used frequently. The "Navajo" design has a modern textured background and a design versatile enough to be used in a boy's room or a modern living room. The background consists of wide dabs of color, like short strokes from a large paint brush. Over it.

i are outlines of an Indian hunter and suggestions of foliage and wild whole designed to give the impression of swift action. In one coloring, tawny desert tones predominate; in another there are rich accents of turquoise blue. Two versions of the outline design nre suggested for companion papers, one on the colorful ground and the other on a plain color. For living rooms, dens and similar settings, James Wynborough has designed "Forest of Arclen," which has abstract tree motifs outlined on broad horizontal bands ol color. The tree tops, roots and the wavy lines of the trees break up the striped effect.

In one coloring, green tree shapes on a charcoal ground are accented by white strokes on the trunks. Since opaque colors are used, the white remains sharp and clear even on a dark ground. Country Settings "Summer Holiday," for children's rooms, has gangly boys and girls in country settings, alternated with splashy fruit motifs. Among the geometries is a broad stripe with narrow horizontal bands In a contrasting color printed over it at wide Intervals to create a large plaid effect. A correlated paper has the same design reduced to one-eighth the original size.

Like the other geometries, the pattern can form a quiet room I background or a strong one, depending on the coloring. Another paper has diagonal bands In a key motif interrupted by tall slim col- umns. i For Fried Apples, i Buy Weighty Ones BY META GIVEN i Does your familly react encour- agingly when you you are serving fried apples for supper? The response will depend on their experience. If they have never eaten i fried apples, they won't show much enthusiasm. If they have eaten only the best of fried apples, they'll ap- i prove heartily.

If they have eaten 1 only a mushy, messy, nondescript 1 kind, they perhaps will object strenuously. Rules What are the rules for trans- I forming an humble fruit into a masterpiece? The first applies to the choice of apples. Buy only weighty ones for size, those that have snap In their flavor which is dile to their pectin i and acid content. A few varieties I that can classify right now are Jonathans, some of the Greenings, and Northern Spys. Serve them now before they begin to lose their lively flavor.

Neat cutting of the apples into uniform slices is essential for appearance. The use of little fat and no water Is Important for flavor and a cover on the skillet the first half of cooking and none the last half for appearance. The following recipe describes the more specific rules for retaining to a high degree the original shape and color of ths candied transparent slices that should have the faintest golden brown on their edges to show the effects of frying. Fried Apples Two pounds Jonathan apples or other tart apples, four and one- half teaspoons sugar, two tablespoons bacon drippings or butter. Wash apples thoroughly.

Cut in quarters, remove cores, then cut quarters Into three slices. Add bacon drippings to skillet, turn in apples. Cover and cook over moderate heat four or five minutes. Turn apples over, using spatula. Sprinkle three tablespoons sugar over apples.

Then cook uncovered until apples are translucent and delicately browned on underside. Remove to serving dish and sprinkle rest of the sugar over the top. Serves four.
