.TV . V c 7 V How may the married woman reduce the. time spent in house-keeping? This is desirable for many who have too much housekeeping work to do, and for others who have undertaken an outside job and must reduce, house . work to a leisure time task which . they can do outside of working hours. Home economics experts offer three solutions: 1. Increased employment of paid workers in the home ; 2 Better management and efficiency; o. In creased use of large-scale, outside agencies. Only about one home in twenty npw employs outside help, and such help is almost impossible to get for large wage which the family can afford to pay. It may be that the future will give us skilled, part-time workers in the home, under some commercial plan which will be satisfactory. Such an arrangement is much needed in . many modern homes. It would demand a revolution in household organiza tion and the conditions of housework but such a revolution might be bene- .ficial all around. Some advocate that the house-wife adopt the "standardization of opera tions" used in the factory, the mod trn efficiency schemes. This is not as-, possible in the home as in the manufacturing plant, since the human element the dealing with children and the whole motive of home life make a difference. It is rare that the housewife performs the same opera tions regularly enough to standardize them, though some "best method" should be worked out for the often ' repeated tasks of dishwashing, cook ing, laundry work and others. There is, much room for improved manage ment in housework. Rapidly we are availing ourselves el ' the services of outside agencjes, the laundry, the bakery, the creamery, the canning factory and the clothing factory. Probably it is not a far cry to the commercial meal provider, not merely the cafeteria and the deli eatessen, but some agency which will deliver cooked meals in some thermos &vice to our own dinnine rooms, i We have always ridiculed household innovations and had a prejudice against theni in the- beginning,, but cor needs have soon led us to adopt them. Here are two necessities which some twprisjng tradesman might supply: 4 ; commercial houseworjeer and a TOdy-to-eat meal, to be supplied to the home on demand. THE STORAGE ROOM A cellar in which there is a furnace is not a good place to store fruits and vegetables, Unless a special storage room ha been built there for this purpose. To preserve food, the home must observe the same principles as the cold storage plant, it must retard er check the ripening process of fruits and vegetables. It does this by shut ting out the heat and light and con trolling the ventilation, temperature and moisture. ' To apportion a section of the cellar for a storage room, choose a part which has a window in it, preferably a north window, through which the cool air may enter. Set uprights of two-by-four lumber and form a hollow wall by fitting boards tightly to gether on earh side of these It is wise to fill the space in this double wall with dry shavings or sawdust as the walls of a refrigerator are in sulated to keep out the heat. Hang a canvas or burlap curtain before the door and, make it close very tight. A uniform temperature may be main o co you iow II . . " " Wn-' TDK .llXRU I J 2 ' i ..1. UiT N ' fc - "F-i Jlorctict Mtddick Boys COPVRI&MTID tained in such a room. The window may be left open during the fall and closed the sharp nights of winter, be ing left slightly ajar between times. The temperature of the storage room should not be so dry as to cause the contents to wilt, nor so moist as to encourage decay. FASHION NOTE "It's all in the slant" say the new afternoon and evening . dresses which are being cut on the bias. There . are surplice fronts which slant from the right, shoulder to a point at the waist. There are slanting overdraperies which take the form , of . capes or neckerchiefs, and there are slanting ruffles for jabots, and slanting goods forming the ' circular skirt, and all sorts of slanting flounces going around the lower half of the skirt or falling in points anywhere between the knees and the ankles. OLD BLANKETS A good use for old blankets is to make bed quilts of them. Tack them together, if there are more than one, basting a patch over holes and taking care that a thin spot is covered by a better spot. The pieces should be laid togethjer with this in mind, to re verse thick .and thinner parts. Cover both sides with silkolene or sateen or outing flannel and quilt on the machine or tie in knots with yarn. The knots heed not be as close together as in quilt filled with cotton batting. To my astonishment, iodine spilled on a gingham dress, washed out in clear, cold water without any trouble at all. It boiled successfully from white goods. But , such is not always rne case, it you have difficulty in re moving iodine stains from white goods, dip the spots in strong ammonia water or alcohQl before putting the piece in the wash. CRANBERRY RELISH .:i.Fp oe quart of hot, strained cran4 berry pulp and juice, add half cup of minute tapioca, a quarter tea spoon of salt, and a quarter of a cup of raisins. Cook these in a double boiler for fifteen minutes, stirring frequently. Add a cup of sugar, four oranges, peeled and sliced, and quarter of a cup of chopped . nuts. Chill and serve as a relish with meat. VEGETABLE SALAD Chop together raw onion, carrot, mango celery, and cucumber. Saband pepper them and add a little' vinegar and salad dressing and pile the com bination on sliced tomatoes. TOAST STICKS These are delicious to serve with salads. Cut bread into sticks a few inches long and an inche square. In a fry pan brown these bread sticks on all sides in hot butter. THE SCHOOL CHILD Sometimes a child is regarded as dull when he has a physical defect which is handicapping him. If he has earache, have a physician examine his ears. If he holds a book too close or does not see the blackboard well, have his eyes tested. His backwardness may be due to deafness or poor eye sight. Are his teeth in good condition? If you have not had the dentist look them over, do so at once, The school child should eat a good breakfast regularly. His eyes , and nerves and general health will be put m or lis m m fm&M to h a ifc to too great a strain unless he regu larly cats this important meal. Most children do not get up in time to eat brcakfost with the family and they get the habit of eating no breakfast. This is very bad. Every child should learn to start the day with a wholesome breakfast. He needs food just as your car needs gas, or his engine cannot pull. Has he regular toilet habits? He should be trained to these. Many a child suffers from nervousness, jsick headache and bilious attacks because of careless habits. MRS. SOLOMON. SAYS "If you put a little loving into all the work you do, And a little bit of gladness, and a little bit of you, , And a little bit of ..weetness, and .a little bit of song Not a day will seem too toilsome ; not a day will seem too Jong." "INSIDE INFORMATION" Veal chops have less fat in pro portion to lean meat than other chops. They are likely to dry out consider ably in cooking unless protected by a coating of egg and bread crumbs. See that the oods your child, eats i 1 i i e Atcei J inciuae eacn aay an oi inese,ainereni kinds of foods: milk, eggs, meat, or fish, . vegetables, fruit, whole-grain ce reals, and butter or cream. Don t wait for . lhanksgivmg or Christmas to make cranberry jelly or cranberry sauce. Either one is er cellent with any meat where a sweet tart accessory is liked. Cranberries aie .on the market now. Farmers' Bulletin 1497-F contains much useful information about laund ering clothes, . and some suggestions about ironing them. How to fold man's' shirt, tablecloths, and other flat piecfes, and how to wash sweaters curtains, blankets, pillows and infant': woolens are among the practical di rections found therein. A cream colored collar is often more becoming on a wool dress than white one, unless the background of the dress material requires white Cream and ecru are often used be cause they blend well with colors Plain colors' are better for collars on figured material, because they em phasize the face which is the natural center of interest. ; Try this: Place an-unopened can of salmon in a sauce pan surrounded by boiling water, to heat for 10 or IS minutes. While this is cooking,, prepare a boiled salad dressing. When open ing the fish, "place a cloth over most of the can, make a small hole in the top td allow the steam to escape, and cut around the entire edge so that the fish can slide out without breaking, onto a hot platter. Pour the; hot dressing oyed the salmon, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, and serve at once. Fresh salmon may also be simmered and served in the same way.

ARTICLE No. 5 In one of our preceding articles, a very interesting hand was given that was played ' at an Auction Bridge Tournament at Chicago and the state ment was made that none of the experts made game on this hand. In the analysis given, a number of ways of playing the hand were considered, some of which scored gam? and some of which did not. Hearts J, 10, 9,2 Clubs J, 9 Diamonds 10, 7, 6, 4 spades Hearts -8 Clubs A, 10, 8, 5 , Diamonds A, K, Q, J Spades J, 6,4, 2 : A Hearts A,.Q,,6, 3 Qubs Q, 3,2 Diamonds none Spades K, 9, 8, 7,5,3 No score, first game. Z dealt and bid one spade. A bid one no trump, Y bid two spades and B bid three dia monds. Z bid three spades, A bid four diamonds, Y bid four spades, B and; L passed. A doubled, all passed and A opened the king of diamonds. How should Z plan the play of the hands? Solution.: "I believe the hand can make four and game by the declarer trumping the first diamond lead and then leading a small club. If second hand passes, play the nine of clubs in the dummy, the trick being taken by the king in the fourth hand, (It makes no difference if second hand takes with the ace). Presume the fourth hand then leads a diamond which is trumped by declarer, who makes another small club lead which is taken by the ace in the second hand. Then a third diamond lead which is trumped again. Declarer then leads a trump which trick is won in the dummy by the ten spot. Dummy then leads the jack of hearts and then the ten of hearts which is trumped by the second hand. Presume this hand to then lead the fourth diamond which is trumped by declarer who then leads the king of spades, : overtakes in the 'dummy, exhausts trumps, and plays hearts and finally the good queen of ' clubs. Defense has three tricks, two clubs and one trumped heart. How about it?" . . . ; One of the interesting phases of Auction that appeals to most players is a comparison ot one s own game with that of players of other sections or countries. A tournament has just bee conducted in England in which the following hands were submitted for competition. Figure out the correct bid in each instance and compare your results with the analyses and the awards of the Judges in the English competition that will bea given, in the next article. Such comparison should be most interesting.. Z is always the dealer and the other players sit around the table as follows: ;aya; : Z : 1.
