simple, reliable directions. First, of course, be sure that the corduroy is labeled “washable.” Make a rich suds of very mild soapflakes and lukewarm water. Wash the garment quickly, taking care not to rub or twist. Rinse thoroughly in clear,” lukewarm water and dry inside at room temperature or outdoors in the shade. Direct sunlight or intense artificial heat should be taboo. Better not hang by clothes pins, either; they'll mark the pile. Corduroy needs no pressing; simply brush briskly when dry. Pockets, hems, collars and such should be shaped carefully before drying.

Quick Meal

For a meal “quicky,” stuff split frankfurters with hot mashed potato, sprinkle with grated cheese, and broil. Or do a vice versa and top a stuffed potato with a juicy split frank.

For Lunch Box

He-man sandwich fillings for a war-worker’s lunch box include a mashed baked bean and chopped frankfurter combination. A touch of prepared mustard, garlic salt, and

pepper adds the right spice.

The Question Box

Q—Is there any way to prevent mildew from forming on leather suitcases and traveling bags?

A—Nearly all leathers are subject to mildew when natural conditions such as temperatures and humidity of the air are favorable. Mildew thrives best in dark, warm, humid places and grows less readily in well ventilated, dry places where light and sunshine have ready access. The Bureau of Agricultural Chemistry of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture says that the problem is an old one for which no practical solution has been found.

. Q—How can I clean a brush that has been used for polishing a waxed floor? A—Soak the brush in lukewarm water to which a little household ammonia (about 3 teaspoons to a quart of water), has been added, and when the wax is loosened, rinse the brush in clear, warm water. Dry the brush in a current of air on its side, but not near a hot stove or radiator.

Q—We have had an everlasting argument in our family over the question: Are boys more intelligent than girls? Perhaps you can settle it.

A—In a study of the abstract intelligence of 1000 unselected school children between the ages of five and fourteen, it was found that the median of the girls of every age up to thirteen, was a trifle higher than that of the boys of the same age, but the boys over thirteen were slightly superior to the girls of the same age. On the whole, the boys and girls were approximately equal

in abstract intelligence.

Health— On the Care Of Sickroom In the Home

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer IF SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY gets sick and has to stay in bed, you will have to choose and arrange the sickroom ina way to promote the health and safety of both the patient and other members of the family. The patient’s own bedroom may not be suitable for use as a sickroom and in that case he should be moved to another room. The sickroom should be near the bathroom but not near the kitchen, so that there will be no temptation to empty basins from the sickroom in the kitchen sink, instead

people are not themselves mentally or physically, and cannot be trusted to take care of themselves as they can when well, warn Elinor E. Norlin and Bessie Donaldson, teachers of nursing in New York high schools, in their newly published book, “Everyday Nursing for the Everyday Home.”

Novel Pancakes

As good as old-fashioned pancakes and sirup are for hearty breakfasts, pancakes can be more glamorous. A Cinderella version for summertime desserts can be made in a twinkling. Bake four normalsized pancakes. Turn them into a layer cake by spreading each pancake with sliced, sweetened peaches. Serve in wedge-shaped pieces with more of the fruit sauce. These are good for dessert after a salad meal.

Peach Sandwiches

A peach sandwich tastes as unusual as it sounds. Spread cream cheese liberally over toasted slices of enriched bread and arrange thinly cut peaches over top. For an epicurean touch, dash a bit of nut-

meg over the sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Remember, too, that Electric cooking does its part by retaining more of the vital vitamins and minerals in food, and will help protect health, prevent food waste, conserve time and physical energy. Here are tips for you to follow:

Put entire meal in oven and cook all at one time-it saves Elec. tricity and time. Meals cooked in the deep well cooker are also simple to prepare and thrifty, too.

Wash outside of range, when cool, with warm soapy water. Wipe oven with damp cloth, scouring charred spots with steel wool. . Avoid letting spilled food dry or harden on range. Cooking units burn themselves clean. but drip pans should be removed for cleaning before wiring becomes damaged. i : Do not always turn switches in same direction. Keep wiringin good condition.
