Put your problems if a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily.

DEAE JANE JORDAN — I.am an only child of 18 and must admit that I am rather spoiled. My parents have been separated for almost 15 years and since that time I have lived with my mother. I began having dates when I was 16. For a year I was content to go out with a certain crowd and always enjoyed myself. Then in July, 1936, 1 met a boy and fell head over heels in love. We went steady for 10 months and now are engaged. I really love this boy and he says he loves me. My mother says we are entirely too young to know true love. She is doing everything she can, too much in fact, to keep us apart. She has given us certain date nights und certain hours to be home. Do you think this is right? I have gone to school for 12 years and in that time don’t you think I have acquired enough intelligence to know whether or not I am in love? Of course, we have not set a date for our marriage yet, as we realize that we will need a little money to support a family. But don’t you think that at 18 and 22 we know

true love? DOUBTFUL LOUISE.

ANSWER—The fact that you have gone to school for 12 years doesn’t mean that you have learned anything about love, for it wasn’t one of your subjects. You have learned reading, writing and arithmetic; you have learned something about the world you live in, but nothing about the emotions of the people who inhabit it. Your education has been notably deficient in human relationships although a thorough-going knowledge of people would havé been more useful to you than anything -ycu have learned so far. Of course you learned something about getting along with others merely by mingling with them in and out of school. But did anybody ever tell you why one boy was a big bully and the other a retiring soul? Did any teacher ever tell you why some girls blush when they are called upon to recite while others are bold as brass? Did you ever learn why some children stammer, steal or disrupt their classes, hate their teachers or play truant? Have you ever wondered why girls get crushes on each other and boys run in gangs? My guess is that you haven't the slightest inkling of the answers to these questions. If you asked the average teacher she wouldn't know either. The average girl who gets married at any age has no insight into human reactions and is completely thrown by the first personality quirk her husband reveals. Instead of handling him wisely, the girl, and particularly the spoiled girl, responds with a quirk of her own. : Marriage is the only partnership in which people are expected to succeed with no previous training or experience. The first prolonged enthusiasm that young people feel for each other is interpreted as permanent, understanding love. I'm obliged to agree with your mother that your understanding of love is bound to be limited. However, you won't learn anything by being separated from your boy friend. In my opinion you should not be kept from him, but should be allowed to see as much of him as is consistent with reason. T'll admit that your mother may feel some jealousy and an wunconscious wish to prolon our childhood. She’s had you 5 nd self, so long that she may dread to part with you, and her own unhappy experience makes her pes-

simistic; but she has enough reality |-

t on her side to give you pause. : JANE JORDAN.

Science Takes Over in Kitchen

As Trial and Error Go Out

By RUTH CHAMBERS National Livestock and Meat Board Today's road to knowledge in the art of cooking is a broad, concrete highway compared with the narrow, rocky pathway by which our grandmothers climbed to their ‘hard-earned eminence as cooks. was ‘too often acquired by the trial-and-error method, so costly and “Take a bit of this, and add a dash of that.

Their skill

Put it into it out and hope for the best.” Of

course after trying many times. (and flavoring their failures with tears)

success.

But today’s homemaker has exact rules to follow. Amounts are measured to }sth of a teaspoon, temperatures are regulated in degrees Fahrenheit, and time is measured to a split second—well, almost that exactly

In short, a laboratory-like precision is the rule in the kitchen today in place of haphazard methods of the past. But instead of making her task harder, these accurate new ways are easier for the homemaker because they are simpler to follow. All unncessary work is eliminated. Streamlined methods as well as streamlined furnishings are in style in the modern: kitchen.

New Rules for Roasting

Take the ways of cooking meat for example. When the roast.is in the oven, no longer does the cook take time to baste it every few minutes. Instead, she places the meat on a rack, fat side uppermost, so that the fat as it melts does this task for her. The temperature of her oven is lower (300°-350° F.) than the oven temperature her mother used for roasting. She does not cover her roast. She knows that it is not necessary to preheat the oven for roasting, nor to sear the meat, although she may do this—either at the beginning or the end of the roasting period—if needed: to give it that temptingly brewn and crisp exterior. She doesn’t sear to “keep in the juices,” because she has been taught that searing does not do this. But she knows that long roasting at a comparatively low oven temperature will keep the meat juicy.

Simplified Broiling

Broiling has been simplified so that only one turn is necessary when the meat is placed at the proper distance, usually 3 inches from the heating element. And the good cook of today would not think of “boiling” meat. Instead she cooks it in water at a simmering temperature, just below the boiling point, And now here are recipes for delicious dishes to add variety to your menus. They are not hard to prepare and they are sure to win the approval of your family.

Rolled Shoulder Lamb Chops

Preheat the broiler and broiler pan. Place the chops on the broiler rack, allowing 3 inches between heat and surface of the chops. When brown on one side, season and turn and continue to cook until the other side is brown. tiny whole carrots and buttered peas.

Pineapple Meat Loaf

1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork 3, cup crushed pineappie 1 cup graham bread crumbs 1 pimiento, chopped 1 egg, slightly beaten Salt and pepper 6 slices bacon, cut in half Combine the ingredients in the order given.

Rules for Obedience Held Need

Children Must Respect Authority, Writer Points Out.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Children who behave well at home very often give the impression out= side of being undisciplined. Neighbors complain that Jimmy doesn't do as he is asked, and fecachers write little notes suggesting that the boy be taught to mind. The mother is usually surprised, and well she may be. hecause she gets rather prompt obedience from her son. i The trouble in such a case often lies in the,child’s conviction that

"| nobody has a right to dictate to

him but the powers inside his own front door. Even aunts and grandmas are occasionally bewildered by the contrariness of their small kin. I have seen children even defy a relative who made her home with the family. He is quite likely to say in mother’s presence, when Aunt Nellie wants him to take a nap, or stop gurgling his water, “You're not my boss,” which is very naughty indeed, but uaderstandable.

‘Proxies for Mother

As it is necessary for a mother to have proxies every day in the week, and every week in the year, I suggest that she tell her toy or her girl just how matters stand. The neighbor is one proxy who stands for authority when Jimmy is in her house or on her lawn. The teacher is another proxy, and her authority

tutes for home rule. The relative in command is another. And these are only a few. There is a storekeeper, the street= car conductor, the busman and elevator boy; the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. Each and every one of these are bosses of their own worlds, and when the child is in that world, he must obey the general rules of the premises. When it comes to maids in the house, the extent of authority must be outlined. clearly to both child and helper. Many a mother goes out leaving Anna or Nora in charge but without any real power of attorney. She usually has a bad time of it, because the children won’t mind her and she is not permitted to punish. I agree with this, unless she has been with the family for years or has proved her wisdom in handling the recalcitrant charge. But my syms pathy is with her, none the less, when she is expected to keep order and the children tell her that she is helpless, by jeering, “Youre not my boss.” Fix Maid’s Status

Questions of misbehavior may be referred to the mother after her return, but the trouble here is that youngsters Hate the girl for tattling. This could be settled more comfortably, for all concerned, if Mrs. Smith would say before she goes out, “Jimmy, when I am not here you are to obey Anna. She takes my place while I am gone.” : As for relatives, here again there should be a clear understanding. The child must know whose word is law. Otherwise he will either be confused or decide to use the old alibi. He must be told that obedience does not stop at home.
