Science Solves the Moth Riddle •
Housewives Find Fabrics Once the
y of Larvae Are Now
Immune
Science is gradually vanquishing
one of housewives' eternal enemies
—the moth. One by one household
fabrics are being made immune to
the attacks of the voracious insects.
The problem has been completely
solved as far as mohair velvet up
holstery fabrics are concerned. One
large manufacturer of this peren
nially popular upholstery material
is so sure of the effectiveness of
his moth-proofing process that he
offers a five-year unconditional
guarantee against moth damage in
any form. Not only will he replace
j the fabric, but all labor and trans
portation charges involved In re
upholstering are included.
Once the moth was the bugaboo
of mohair velvet, and threatened
i seriously to endanger its popularity.
Moths live on animal fibres, not on
' vegetable matter, so the long silky
strands of the angora goat’s fleece,
from which mohair velvets are
made, provided luscious lodgings
for hungry moths.
But scientists, working In moth
filled laboratories, developed secret
processes that made the fabric re
pellent to moths. Now a processed
piece of mohair velvet can be liter
ally strewn with larvae without
harm; the Inserts find no food and
simply die of starvation.
So housewives today can enjoy
the rich lustre and rugged durabil
ity of mohair upholstery fabrics
vitnout any fear of Insect Invasion.
But, experts warn, it is important
to make sure that the fabric is
Mitzl Green, erstwhile Hollywood
child star, examines the results of
science's war against the moth. The

has been literally chewed up by

MELANCHOLY MIND
j
Out of the deepness of morose mist,
Arises a somber stillness unheard
Ely lovers in a midnight tryst.
Quiet as some forgotten bird
Winging its way through clouds
Dark, dreary, bleak and black.
Fleeting through air in somber note,
Ever forward on beaten track;
I^ausing in flight, but to gloat
Over victories gone with the past.
Never to return, even as imps
At a devil’s repast.
Gone, gone are those haunting di earns
Swept away by hatred’s streams.
Out of my mind; to forget—
And yet, I wonder if in it all
Love at its height can e’er enthrall
The human soul in meshes so deep
That torn asunder the mind may reap
One moment of joy from endless sorrow.
A bit of Heaven we must borrow
If like the smoke, it fades away
Once afire, now gone as the day.

■ i rector llolpoint Electric Cookery Institute
When it comes to deliciously pre
pared food and really tasty dishes,
we owe the South and her good
cooks three loud cheers. Their food
is as famous as their “old fash
ioned Southern hospitality.” Any
one who has ever eaten the delec
table cooking of a Southern mammy,
for instance, will tell you that “it
can’t be beat.” And when it comes
to Shrimp Gumbo—well, th?t's iust
being specific about it.
New Orleans holds first honors
in the preparation of Shrimp Gumbo
—and why not, with supplies of
choice fresh shrimps constantly
reaching her harbors? But nowa
days, with the excellent facilities
as easy as any old Southern mam
my would make it appear to be;
only you don’t have to extract the
“receipt” from your “haid” for it is
right here in black and white:
Shrimp Gumbo
1 green pepper
1 medium-sized onion
1 quart strained tomatoes
2 cups sliced okra
2J4 cups cooked shrimp (cut
in pieces)
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
J4 teaspoon black pepper
j With the aid of the Thrift Cooker of the modem electric range, the prepara
tion of delicious Shrimp Gumbo is greatly simplified.
: for preserving and transporting
foods, no section of the country
need stand by while her neighbors
spoon up “geographically exclusive”
delicacies.
Thrift Cooker Aid*
At this time of the year when
winter takes its last stand, we find
that something besides the season
is the worse for wear, and that’s our
appetites. So, keeping in mind also
the Lenten season, we go to New
Orleans where she willingly shares
her pride and joy recipe—Shrimp
Gumbo. It will turn the trick.
With the thrift cooker of the Hot
point electric range, the preparation
of this delicious Shrimp Gumbo is
Mince green pepper and onion,
and bro\m lightly in butter in Thrift
Cooker turned to HIGH heat. Add
the flour and seasoning. Gradually
add tomatoes, okra, and shrimp,
then turn switch to LOW heat and
simmer until the shrimp is tender.
A versatile individual, isn’t it—
the Thrift Cooker? At the twist of
a switch it produces a high “brown
ing” temperature. Then, when you
wish to contribute a more fragile
morsel, such as shrimp, to the “pot,”
you turn the switch and lo! the heat
units slacken their pace and the
soup cooks at a simmering temper
ature, without requiring any atten
tion.
