It's Bottoms-Up for Every Cup If Your Coffee-Pot Is Clean!

"% 18 YOUR CO

-POT CLEAN? The chance that it is seems a

pretty slim one, according to the recent findings of a group of investigators who ‘viewed with alarm” the cups of coffee left cold and unieonsumed on tables throughout the country every day and .pointed— = but not “with pride”--to the dirty coffee-pot as the culprit.

« There are more than 30 million {eoffee-pots in the country and many of them are dirty! ; «+ The dirty coffee pot is not con“fined to the kitchens of any one vclass in the country. The shining “(on the outside) coffee pot in the home of the $50,000 a year executive “and the battered old coffee pot in /the kitchen of the $15'a week office- * boy are alike, inside, and: both of i them are dirty. Coffee pots were collected from coast to coast—borrowed (without benefit of any extracleaning) right from.the stove-tops —to prove that the dirt in the . coffee pot was mainly responsible

‘ for the “bitter brew” pouring from|j,

some of those 30 million pots. You can’t make a good cup of coffee—even if you carefully follow the few essential rules—if your, coffee pot is not clean. For those very oils in the coffee bean which make for taste and fragrance when the coffee is fresh and the coffee pot is clean, remain in the pot to spoil your brew if not removed after each coffee-making. Here are the general rules’ for keeping your coffee maker clean: 1. Empty grounds from coffee maker as soon as coffee is made, rinse in hot water. 2. Wash in clean, hot water as soon as possible after using: 3. Rinse thoroughly with clean scalding water to remove any trace of suds and dry with a clean towel. 4. Use a brush to clean parts where sediment or |6il may collect. 5. Leave the coffee maker unassembled between uses so that it

Never reheat coffee. Always make it fresh; serve immediately after preparation and use freshly-drawn water every time. For best results, always use the correct grind for your coffee-maker.

How's Your Contract?

Is it ever permissible to raise

without minimum trump support in his suit? . : A. If the partner rebids his suit, it is permissible to raise him with two trumps headed by the Queen or better, or three small trumps. If he has opened with a bid of three or more, raise him with one trump, -if the hand possesses all the other

Q. In Contract Bridge is a raise in the partner’s suit more encouraging than a bid in a new suit? - A. No. It is not as encouraging ~@s a bid in a new suit.

an opening bid in one of the minor suits and the responding hand has a biddable suit in one of the major suits (spades or diamonds.) Also,

Tricks With Spices

THERE is no need for a long shelf full of exotic spices to turn out meals heightened with flavors. Next time you want an especially good stew, try adding a tablespoon of tomato catsup and a pinch of the sage you keep on hand for that Thanksgiving turkey dress-

g.: Another flavor trick is to spread pork chops with catsup before boiling or frying. The result is a crisp layer of seasoning which also holds the juices in the chop and prevents your meat from getting dry. If your family is the kind that begs for lots of chili powder in the chili, you can buy a kind of catsup that is flavored with tabasco pepper and add it to anything that needs that extra tang. So even though summer is over and big red tomatoes, Indiana's specialty, are .just about gone’from the markets, you can still use the

unbeatable tomato flavor all winter.|

And even if you didn’t get a chance to can your own brand of tomato juice, you can still get almost the same effect by dressing up the canned variety with slices of onion, celery salt and—yes, a bit of catsup —for an appetizer that makes the rest of the meal a complete sell-out. While you're stocking up on catsup, don’t forget to include a jar of mustard in your economy spice cupboard. Then try a tabléspoon or so of mustard in your next batch of spaghetti, add several sliced stuffed olives and see the family go for it. After that, think up your own ways of getting full flavor into your meals through an original 10-cent investment. ;

Non-Tippable Polish

AS AN added convenience for tne girl who does her own manicuring, one nail polish manufacturer packages a non-tippable base with each bottle of nail polish. The base holds the bottle firmly and safely upright. It is made of a light-weight plastic in a delicate pink, which makes an attractive as well as practical dressing table accessory.

Crumbling Cheese

IF YOU are preparing macaroni for a large number of people and have a lot of cheese to crumble, run it through the food chopper instead of grating it. It grinds smoothly and evenly and the job is over in jig time. ;

Prop for Plants A WIRE DRESS HANGER, hook end huried in the earth of the flower pot, makes a good frame for bushy types of house plants that need some support.

A Little Butter Helps

A LITTLE butter added to the water in which rice is cooked will prevent it boiling over.

Easy-Lifting Mattresses

IF YOUR mattress does not have straps on the sides to make hand-

ling easier, you can make loops of |}

heavy tape or some strong material and sew them on firmly—on each side of the mattress about twelve inches from the head and foot.

Oranges for Dessert

THE ORANGE in itself makes a perfect dessert. Too, it may be combined with other fruits to make a satisfying fruit cup. Oranges add sparkle to a mixture of canned fruit, or they may be used with apples, bananas, grapes, or any other fresh fruits. As a novelty, try serving the mixed fruit in the half orange shell. Ambrosia is another simple dessert. To make it, peel the orange and remove the white membrane from the outside and between the sections: Slice the orange and arrange it (attractively on a dessert plate. Sprinkle with cocoanut and garnish with red cherries or almond halves. If the orange is quite sour, the sections may be dipped in honey before the cocoanut is sprinkled over them.

Special Showing of Wedgwood Is Featured at Ayres Today

Women who: treasure or long for Wedgwood ware need not worry

about the supply here despite the

Leon Vallee, who is at L. S. Ayres & Co. today with a special|'

war.. That's the reassurance from

showing of the stoneware, earthenware and fine china.

He brands as false the stories heard here and there that war conditions have caused the Wedgwood firm to consider a factory on this side of the Atlantic. He points out that a shipment of Wedgewood is coming in once every ten days. Further the Wedgwood firm has recently begun the conversion of an old estate into new modern -headquarters in England. He adds to his assurances that most of the employees are women or older men not

affected by the English draft. The display at Ayres is a large one, including the representative pieces of over 10,000 designs made by the Wedgwood firm. There are over four different variations of each of these designs, whose average is over 75 years old. There are numerous pieces resembling the original Jasper ware which typifies Wedgwood in the minds of many people. That is the ware used for vases, cigarette cases, ete., which has white classical figures raised on a background of blue, green or black. In case you are interested in just how those tiny figures are put on, Mr. Vallee explains: The piece of ware is first made and then the tiny figures, in material which has the plasticity of soft butter, are wet and stuck (suction does it) on the ware.

Golden Ivy Pattern

Mr. Vallee reports a rising popularity. in the pastel shades of China. This fits in with modern decoration trends. The Wedgwood self-coloured wares, lavender blue, cane or honey buff and celadon greern,~were developed .in the 18th century. Recently they were introduced to the English women in tea sets and now there is a great demand both here and abroad for the soft colored ware in dinnerware. Another popular pattern for the hostess, stressing a Colonial setting, is “Bafley.” This has the delicate hand painting of barley on the famous shell edge, a revival of one of the oldest of the 18th century shapes. For the woman whose home suggests Italian Renaissance settings, there is “Florentine,” whose pattern harmonizes with the Neoclassical trend of the day. The newest of the Wedgwood acheivements is Wellesley. This is a richly embossed decoration in low relief, yet sharply, defined under the deep ivory of Champagne glaze. This will appeal to the woman who wants classic simplicity. Mr. Vallee believes that there are two extreme trends in china these days with no medium one. He says women either want the classic simplicity of all ivory or white or the gay flowered china or pastel colored sets. One striking plate on display is from the school of free hand painting started under the guidance of Alfred and Louise Powell for the Wedgewood firm. The painters reproduce 18th century floral decora-

tions, etc. from Josiah Wedgwood'’s'

own pattern books and originate new designs too—all this free hand, too. And for the layman here is an explanation, offered by Mr. Vallee, which should prove helpful. He

points out that ceramics are divided

into three classes: Stoneware, earthenware and fine bone china. Earthenware is semi-porous and will absorb grease, etc. when chipped or broken. China ware is non-porous and will pot even absorb moisture when chipped or broken, even after exposure over a long period.

JANE JORDAN

"DEAR JANE JORDAN—Recently I wrote you to the effect that I was an eligible bachelor who was unable to find any girl worth considering. You answered that my only purpose in writing such a letter’ was to gain a little free advertising which you were forced to reject. I resent your attitude (hot your- implication betayse you were right) but your presumption that any such desire must of a necessity : be unwholesome. ‘I say that to deny a single male an acquaintance with 100 girls, one of whom the law of averages says would make the kind of wife he wants, is old-fashioned. I may not be smart enough

to meet 100 girls'but I am just clever enough to repulse the 10 or 15 sophisticated booze hounds that I could have at the drop of a hint. So it doesn’t look like I'll affect the vital statistics column greatly. I wanted to do it the American, the proper way, but come to think of it why should I bother? I can get anything I want right

now, except nagging which I can avoid, and expenses which I need not. incur. ? A.B : # 8 8 : Answer—I still say that the way to meet 100 girls, or even one girl, is not through the medium of a newspaper column or any other impersonal bureau which exchanges addresses without personally knowing its clients. The chances for dishonesty, fraud, misrepree sentation and even tragedy are too great.‘ Perhaps you would have the wisdom to sift the wheat from the chaff, perhaps you would be honest with the gitls you might meet, but plenty would be fooled, frightened and more disappointed: than .ever. I must refuse the responsibility of exchanging addresses between people vhom I do not know, and if this be old-fashioned, I accept the charge. The way to meet people is through mutual °friends, clubs, churches, business connections, classes in adult education and other phases of daily life which bring people together, The American and proper way to affect the vital statistics is to find a wife for yourself through the same channels that other Americans depend upon, and the newspaper column is not one of them. Your difficulty shows up more prominently in your second letter than in your first. It is hostility toward women in. general, Your choice of words comes from a bitter heart: “Nagging which I can avoid . . . expenses which I need not incur.” One wonders what your parents were like, what kind of home-life you had as a child, Perhaps the truth is that in the last analysis you do not want a wife at all, 6r perhaps you are holding to an impossible ideal. The 10 or 15 booze hounds you know may constitute your alibi for not liking women. ‘ Aren't you, perhaps, too sensitive? You resent the fat. that I don’t see eye to eye with you, that I blocked you in something you wanted to try. My feeling is that I am not the first woman who frustrated some desire of yours. Now if you're really interested, write another letter and tell something of your childhood background. Who was the first woman to disappoint you? JANE JORDAN.
