CHANGE OF TIE
IS ALREADYEFFECTIVE
Clock Hands Went Forward
an Hour This Morning
at Two
Wilmington, like the remainder of
the country, will' awake an hour
earlier than usual this morning but
the clock hands will belie this state
ment, for they registered the short
est American hour on record , this
morning at 2 o'clock when they jump
ed forward 60 minutes, clearing the
space while the remainder or the
world slept in blissful ignorance of
what was transpiring. Many of the
clocks hit the double quick late last
night while those in the various
schools moved forward during ' th;
day, prior to the departure of the
various janitors to their homes fol
lowing the day's work, but they were
overtaken this morning by their sis
ter and brother clocks and all are
running on the same gear today.
The much discussed change has
taken place and no one is any the
worse off. Rather all are benefited,
for an extra hour of daylight is gain
ed, and if there is anything in the
old adage that time is money the
American nation is considerably rich
er this morning than it' was yester
day." All schools, Superintendent John J.
Blair stated yesterday afternoon, will
observe the new time, and it will be
necessary for faces to be washed ear
lier or less carefully tomorrow than
it was last week. The churches to
day are holding services on the new
time and the employes of the various
firms and industries of the city will
catch the sun an hour late tomorrow,
or rather they will be supposed to see

clock hands is heard less and less,
and all are now agreed that it makes
little difference and that rather than
be inconvenienced all will be bene

to do in connection with the new time

A WHOLE MEAL IN ONE DISH.
We are learning to accommodate
our daily menu to the times. The
Food Administration is finding a real
response to their request for conser
vation. And housewives are saving
and thus serving the cause of democ
racy every day.
For a "one-dish" meal both serves
and conserves meat, there is no better
than , the old-fashioned pot-pie with
dumplings. No bread need be served.
You can use mutton or veal, with car
rots, onions, parsley and plenty of
potatoes.
It's just the dish for your family
these cool spring days. And these
dumplings made of cornmeal and
flour are delicious:
Cornmeal Dumplings.
2 level tablespoons Cottonlene.
1-2 cup white or yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour.
1-2 teaspon salt.
2 1-2 level teaspoons baking pow
der.
Milk.
Sift together the flour, cornmeal,
salt and baking powder. Rub or
chop in the Cottonlene, add milk
enough to make a soft dough and drop
by tablespoonfuls into the pot-pie.
The dumplings should not sink into
the gravy but rest on top the meat
and other ingredients. Add dumn-
lings when the pot-pie is nearly done.
you may tnen nmsh by bakiner with
the dumplings in the oven. Or cov
er the vessel tightly and cook the
dumplings on top of the stove.
