CONSERVATION AND THRIFT more drastic than that demanded during the depression may confront housewives of the United States.

Experts in food economy peint out

that an abundance of food in this

country has led to a habit of carelessness and waste in kitchens which is shocking and that “waste not, want not” must become a household slogan during this period of total war.

Old-time ways to save symbolized by the “clean plate” insisted upon by the pioneer mothers may well be adopted by homemakers and their families as a patriotic wartime duty. The following general economy measures should not be difficult to carry out and shortly will become routine: 1. Over-size servings of food are ordinarily wasteful. Average size portions satisfy the appetite, are more attractive and help the diner achieve the “clean plate.” 2. Children often are capricious and call for second helpings when they actually wish but an extra bite or two. Or, they refuse to eat certain food because they wish another not prepared. The pioneer mother met this situation with an “eat what's put before you, or do

vegetable values to quick cooking dehydrated package soups. 10. The pioneer mother rinsed out the milk bottle with a little water and she rinsed the cream pitcher with a little milk. The skillet in which gravy was made also was rinsed out with a bit of hot water and added to the gravy bowl.

3. The “clean plate” applies as much to utensils as to serving plates. Considerable food is left in the cooking pans. A spatula or| flexible knife with a thin blade may] be used to remove all of the mashed potatoes, all of the rice, the corn or other foods from the pan. 4 A spatula or plate scraper is requisite to get the last spoonful of cake batter from the mixing bowl, the last drop of melted chocolate or butter, the molasses, or the fat from the measuring cup. 5. Much butter is left uneaten on bread and butter plates. This may be eliminated by cutting butter pats in half for serving. 6. The old-fashioned bread board | for cutting the loaf at table is seen more and more in housewares departments as offering one way of reducing dried-out slices to the minimum. 7. The make-it-at-table method | of serving green salad is becoming] popular and leaves no excess of] mixed salad in the bowl. Each per- | son can gauge his or her own ap-| petite, and uneaten greens may be! returned to the refrigerator to keep! crisp for another meal. 8. A little more attention to cooking so that the gas flame may be| turned down to maintain gentle | cooking of foods prepared over top| burners will eliminate scorched foods. Scorching defeats the purpose of the “clean plate” because it| is another way of wasting food; | overcooking dries out foods so that they seldom are eaten. Also care-| less cooking at high flame uses fuel] wastefully, | 9.

Sorority Session Sigma Lambda Chi sorority will

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 16. I quit school so I could help mother and dad. I'm the youngest of 13 children and I am the only one at home. I have been having some trouble. What would you do if your folks tried to keep you from going with the boys? There is a certain boy whom I am crazy about and he is crazy about me, but we're not going to get married until I am 18. He is already 18 and only comes out three nights a week, Mother thinks that is too much. The girl next door is having the same trouble, and mother doesn’t want me to run with her. The girl seems so much like a sister to me. She goes with a boy I used to go with and he quit me for her, but I didn’t care because I liked this other boy the best. If I am able to forget don't you think mother should? If mother tries to stop me from seeing this boy altogether ¥ am planning to leave home and get married sooner, Would you, if you were me? PUZZLED, : "88 Answer—It is not a bit smart fora young girl to get married in order to escape her mother’s domination. A lot of them who do so find that they simply exchanged problems and that the new problem is more difficult than the old one. At 16, it is your job to get along with your mother, She represents authority and you are struggling against it. Now instead of working it out with her, yielding a point here and standing up for yourself there, you want to run out on the situation and try your hand at a much more complicated situation. It is like believing you can do advanced mathematics before you learn the multiplication table. You and your boy friend very sensibly decided to wait until you are older to marry. Now because your mother is not sympathetic you realize that the best way to get the upper hand is to marry against her will, Your motive is wrong, Marry when you are ready to marry, because you and your partner are in love and have looked ahead far enough to have something laid aside for your home. This is a mature attitude and a marriage based upon it has a good chance of success. But if you marry too soon, in order to get even with your mother for being too bossy, it simply indicates that you're still too childish and impatient to attempt adult responsibilities.
