“"In preparing rugs, draperies:

and other fabrics for storage, gmake sure that you are taking no dangerous risks with inflammable and explosive cleaning materials. Many of the excellent products now

* ‘on. the market need to be handled with special care. In all cases, read “the label on the container careful-

ly. Choose a cleaner that is marked “Noninflammable and nonexplosive.” It’s better to send articles to the commercial dry cleaner than to take chances with dangerous fluids.

, The expense is small in compari-

Son with the accident costs that may result from attempting the ‘work at home.

Special precautions should be taken with antimoth sprays and other insecticides. Follow exactly the directions for their use. If you're spraying your summer cottage to rid it of flies and mosquitoes, make it a rule to put out oi Btoves and other open flames, not Yorgetting cigarets. #77And, speaking of oil stoves, remember that kerosene, too, needs 10 be handled with care. It should ‘fever be stored where there is heat, brought near an open flame, nor ‘tsed to quicken a wood fire. Alco¥5l, turpentine, paints, varnishes pd oils are on the danger list.

Before using the fireplace, investigate the Sondition of the chimney, and have “fleaned if necessary. Keep a fire screen handy. Use safety matches. Make sure that walls and floors around stoves are properly fireproofed with metal to avoid overheating.

These Tips May Prevent Waste And Disappointment With Meat |

Dy MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX iE

A little knowledge about meat will save -a lot of waste and disappoint ‘ment. A few questions and answers from the Food and Nutrition News:

Today’s Pattern

You can't have too many cool, crisp home frocks for midsummer. Here's one of the best styles yet seen. EE . There's a gayety. and charm about this design, Pattern 8282, that will make you want to sing while you work. It’s made on princess lines that hug the figure, and it

buttons down the front so that you can put it on in a jiffy when every moment counts. The squaré neckline and puff sleeves are becoming. The nice big pockets are both decorative and handy. . This frock is almost as easy to make as the breakfast coffee. Just try it and see. Make it up in calico, gingham, percale or linen, choosing the prettiest, most sums mery prints you can find. Trim with ricrac braid. EE : Pattern 8282 is designed for sizes, 14, 16, 18, 20, 40 and 42. Size 16 requires 42-3 yards of 36-inch ma« terial; 42 yards ricrac to trim. The new spring and summer pate tern book, 32 pages of attractive de~ signs for every size and every. occasion, is now ready. P raphs show dresses made from these patterns being worn; a féature you, will

enjoy. Let the designs

> deserve space here. ‘Why is a low temperature in broiling desirable?

ANSWER: (1) Many persons pre-

possible to get a well-done steak when broiled at a high temperature ‘without charring the exterior. (2) A steak broiled at a ‘lower temperature will be attractively browned on the outside, but not charred, and the interior will be uniformly done throughout. (3) There is less smoke in the kitchen. (4) The steak requires less watching.

What can you say about the ‘characteristics of lamb that influence the cooking methods used?

ANSWER: Lamb does not have much connective tissue and is -vell | fatted. All cuts of lamb, with the exception of the neck, shank and breast, may be roasted or broiled.

What is the “fell”? Should it be removed before cooking?

ANSWER: The fell is a thin

| parchment-like covering over the

outside of the lamk. It is neither necessary nor desirable to remove the fell from the leg before roasting. The leg will keep its shape better, be juicier, and cook in less time if the fell is not removed. Also, there is no basis for the once prevalent idea that the fell filences flavor. It is best to remove the fell from chops, because in the short time it requires ‘to cook thém, this tough membrane would not hiave a chance to become tender as it does in roasting. :

What precaution should be taken in serving lamb?

ANSWER: Lamb should always be served piping hot or cold; but

lamb is neither hot nor cold, the

Care should be taken, therefore, to serve hot lamb from a hot: platter onto a hot plate. : :

Does roasting. pork differ in any way from roasting beef?

ANSWER: Beef is served rare, medium >and well-done, but pork must’ always-be thoroughly cooked in ‘order to develop the flavor to the full, extent. All. cuts of pork are tender, having very little connective tissue. 3 :

Why, then, is broiling not recom- |

mended for pork chops? ; ANSWER: Broiling is likely to be done quickly (even though this .is not the best procedure) and the pork chops are likely to be insufficiently cooked. Also much of the fat may be driven off and as the flavor of pork is largely in the fat, broiled pork chops will be dry and lacking in flavor. Braising is the best method for cooking pork chops.

‘Helpful’ Hints Outlined for Man Deserted by: His Family!

in Renssel riage in Lafayette

By CHRISTOPHER BILLOPH k (In the Baltimore Evening Sun) Gentlemen who, at this time of the year, are likely to find themselves deserted by their families and called upon to run their own domestic es-

| tablishments may find these suggestions useful: :

Do’ not wash dishes; cups, saucers,o— \

frying pans and table utensils after each meal. Let them accumulate over a period of several days. "Remember what mass production has done for the automobile and other industries. : A tea towel serves admirably as a substitute for a bath towel and may save tedious steps to the upstairs bathroom. If a tumbler is clouded, blowing on it and polishing it briskly will give it a luster. Burning cigarets left on the edge of a mahogany table and tumblers with wet bottoms left on the table top will antique the table nicely. _ ‘It the screw top on a jar of mayonnaise proves obstinate, use a Stillson wrench.

Icepick for Can Opener

Should the key to a sardine can break, remove the contents of the can particle by particle with en icepick. A bed which has not been made may be slept in quite comfortably. Should rain enter an open Wwindow, wipe up the water as quickly as possible with the end of the

nearest curtain or your wife's best bath mat. : Trips to the trash pile may be saved by tossing empty cans out of the kitchen window. Before scrambling eggs, remember what they will do to the frying pan and consider whether you will not be quite as well satisfied with

boiled eggs. iodo Coffee is usually made with. boil-

| ing. ‘water; but if you cannot de-

termine when water bolls, hottish water will:give you a brown liquid

‘that is not so bad.

Tobacco ashes flicked on carpets and ground in with the heel are said to be a deterrent to moths. Avoid © overexertion. If . your domestic = duties become tedious, bear in mind that you .can save yourself much unnecessary labor by calling on friends just before the evening meal and being ‘persuaded reluctantly to remain.

Syrians Elect - Mrs. Ann Zarick Mrs. Ann Zarick, Indianapolis, widow of Dr. W, S. Zarick, one of the organizers and first president of the Midwest Federation of Syrian Clubs, is newly elected secretary of the Federation, it was announced today.

More than 300 persons, including 18 from Indianapolis, attended the annual: three-day . convention recently in Milwaukee. A. A, Haddad, Toledo, was elected president.

Colonial Bedroom Quilted materials combined with crisp white sheers are appropriate for decorating the colonial bedroom. A four-poster bed may have a spread of gay quilted chintz or calico, mitred at the corners to fit perfectly over the mattress, nnd cut long enough to fold back neatly over the pillows. A full flounce -of crisp white orgafidy or dotted Swiss billowing out from under the spread may match the ruffled curtains and the full skirt of the dressing table. The drapes, boudoir chair and stiffened band around the dressing table ten should match the quilted spread. An underskirting of muslin or sateen gives y to the sheer flounce, but need not be so full.

Speaking of Hats— Diminutive chapeaux, tilted at fantastic angles, captured feminine fancies. A clever toque made entirely of rather wide pleated bands of sheer dull jersey, is draped intricately, crisscross fash

ion, one fold of the fabric falling |

gracefully scarfwise to the right shoulder. Another hat of the same material, shallow, tilted daringly forward, has a narrow swirled brim and two gay-colored feather birds perched at the top center crown. .
