Why Prices Rise in Spite of Ceilings;

Holiday Dinners Will Cost You More

THE HOME 1 RONT FORECAST: If youve been wondering about| |

apparent price rites i8 spite of ceilings, here is a partial explanation,

at least.

Many manufscturers are trying to offset losses that arise from curtailment of ray material supplies by turning out higher-priced goods, on which the margin of profit is greater.

It’s a situation that is found all along the line, from the nickel candy bar makers ti the wholesale clothing business. ho So one of the prissing problems confronting Econoinic Stabilizer James F. Byrnes is low to keep the United States stocied with lowpriced goods. His nifice is tackling the problem, but il us far no directives on the sub 2ct have been

issued. : 2

' Your Thanksgivin/: dinner will . probably cost you more than it did last year—but the «ffice of price administration sees 10 reason why the increase should 27e more than 12 or 15 per. cent. ‘A good many of the items on the trad tional turkey-and-trimmin’s me re already on the price-ceiling list.

Health— And Now There Are Pickled

Vitamins C

By JANE STAFFORD

Science Service Writer YOU CAN GET twice the amount of vitamin C you need for a day from a single pickled walnut weighing slightly over half an ounce, three English scientists, Magnus Pyke, Ronald Melville and Henry Sarson, report to the English scientific journal, Nature. Here in America with abundant supplies of oranges, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, we do not need to worry much about sources of this vitamin, needed to prevent scurvy, but in England since the war housewives have had to turn to home-grown sources of the vitamin, such as rose hips and black currants. The fact that unripe walnuts contain large amounts of vitamin C was apparently first discovered by a Russian scientist. The English scientists examined other kinds of nuts, including hickory, almond and horse chestnuts, but none of these contained as much vitamin C as walnuts. The vitamin content of the nut is at its highest at the stage of development when the kernel is soft and just before the formation of the shell. Weight for weight, walnuts contain about 24 times as much vitamin C as orange juice, according to the English report. Some methods of pickling and preserving the walnuts destroy the vitamin C they contain, however. Two methods published by Mrs. Hannah Glasse in the 18th century, which allow the walnuts to keep all their vitamin C, follow: Green pickled walnuts. nuts peeled very thinly; soaked for 24 hours in 15 per cent salt solution; packed in spiced vinegar (without cloves); left for 3 months. “White pickled walnuts. Unripe nuts\ peeled until white; soaked for 12 hours in 15 per cent salt solution; \ transferred to a second salt solution and simmered for 5 minutes; / packed in spiced vinegar (witHout cloves); left for 3 months.

The Question Box

Q—I have a copper dog ornament that has been in the family for years and is very black. I have tried to clean’ it, but I can only get the high spots bright. Is there a paste

metal, but will clean the crevices?

A—The government formula used at arsenals and claimed to be the best in the world calls for mixing 1 part of common nitric acid and 15 part of sulphric acid in a stone jar, having also ready a pail of fresh water and a box of sawdust. Dip the article into the acid (taking care not to let the acjd come in contact with the bare skin), then remove and dip in the water, and finally rub with sawdust. This immediately changes the copper to a brilliant color. If the copper has become greasy, it should first be dipped in a strong solution of potash

Q—I have been told that cereal and milk will provide all the necessary constituents of a nutritive diet for .a child 4 years old. Is that true? A—To provide a diet that meets all the nutritive needs of the body, any cereal must be supplemented by meat or other flesh foods; milk products such as butter as well as milk itself; -eggs, vegetables and

Fixing Things

AROUND THE HOUSE

The handy man of the family can do many simple repair jobs around the house that involve little effort, small expense—and a great deal of satisfaction if the jobs are done right. And, for the duration at least, he will do a lot of the repair jobs that someone else might ordinarily attend to. To fix a squeaking floor, Parents’ Magazine says he must first understand how the floor is constructed. There is a joist (a plank on edge measuring usually 2x8 or 2x10 inches) to which is nailed a subfloor of 1x6 or 1x8-inch boards. On top of these boards the builder spread a layer of building paper. Then he nailed. down the hardwood flooring at right angles to the subfloor boards. You have a squeak because something is loose. So the thing

Q—What is “city chicken”? I saw it mentioned as the meat course of| a dinner and wondered what it was. |

—“City chicken” is the name of a meat dish made of pieces of veal, or layers of veal and fresh pork. The pieces about an inch and a half square and half an inch thick, are skewered together. They are raised either on top of the range or in the oven, or cooked in a casserole.

to do is to fix the squeaky area from the top of the hardwood floor right through the subfloor and into the joist. The hardwood flooring is nailed through holes that were factorydrilled slantwise through the edges of the boards above the tongue. When the groove of the next piece of flooring is fitted snugly over the tongue it hides the nail head and leaves a smooth finished floor. However, hardwood flooring nails only go down into the subflooring boards and not into the joists, so locate where the top edges of the joists are and drill small holes slantwise through the hardwood boards that squeak, so that a long, smallheaded casing nail will reach all the way down into the joist. Then you

. |will be sure of eliminating the

squeak whether it comes from the hardwood flooring or the subflooring. Locating the top edge of a joist is

= [usually easy by going down cellar

and just looking. You can drill a

» | small hole up at one edge of the

joist through the floor to locate the joist from the room above. Floor

fjoists are placed 16 inches apart

from the center of the top edge of one joist to the center of the top Joists for

above first-floor joints. Any hole drilled is easily filled with putty that has been colored with a little stain of the same color as your floor, then touched up with a daub of varnish and later waxed. You hide the hole into which you drive the long nail in the same way, after the head of the nail has been driven below the surface of the flooring with the aid of a nail punch. Yeh Usually just a couple or three nails rightly placed will eliminate that squeak and you can then pass on to another household thing that has been bothering vou off and on.

ns Viewpoin Alert Women Can Insure Lasting Peace

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer

WENONA M, SCOTT of Ft. Worth

challenges us in these words: “If the women of the United States would mobilize and pool their strength for peace as fervently as they support all war efforts, there would be the dawn of a new

day for us. We have millions of

persons, that the RE present world slaughter is not the result of one individual’s madness but of religious and political policies directly adverse to the active laws of God, of nature and of honorable men. Christianity is based upon law and reason. “The majority of our people seem to think that everything will be ‘hunkydory’ dfter Hitler's funeral, although a little thought tells us that event will not mark the end of trouble and strife. It seems about time for women of the world to discard their illusions, which have been created by propaganda. “History proves that men have been killers since the days of Nimrod. They have always been in the majority—at least they have always ruled. Now it is our turn to take an active, aggressive part in world leadership. Some of the ‘eternal vigilance’ which is the ‘price of liberty’ must be vigilance by women over the political behavior of men.” 2 8 8 RIGHT YOU ARE, Mrs. Scott. And I think multitudes of women now feel the stirrings of a new conscience. They see that duties of citizenship and motherhood are intertwined. In time of war they are told constantly that victory cannot be gained without their effort. Why, then, should they ever doubt the power of their labor and influence in times of peace? It is not unreasonable to hope that groups of progressive-minded women of the western hemisphere can create a vast organization which would be directed to building permanent conditions of world peace. It also seems reasonable that this should be one of our major post-war aims. Mind and heart shrink from the idea that when the war is ended women will fall back into their prewar apathy.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-I am a girl 14 years old. I love my mother very much. She got a divorce when I was only 3 years old and she hates my dad very much. She tells me that he treated her very badly but sometimes shé lets things slip and says good things about him. Mother is 29 and very young looking. She goes out and I have to stay home with my little brother. She does not trust me at all. Now I have heard good things about my dad, but I didn't tell mother because she tries to make me hate him and I can’t take to him because she would whip me. Do you think I should stay with my mother or father? A.J. S. » ” ”

Answer—I imagine that your place is with your mother at this point. When you are older, there will be nothing to prevent you from seeing your father if you wish. I am sure he is not all bad, but like most human beings, a. mixture of good and bad. This, of course, is true of your mother also. She is not all good or bad but a blend of the two. You know how it is yourself. Sometimes you are as good as gold and sometimes you're not. That is the way it is with us all, children and grownups alike, Suppose you try to wait until

about your parents. Every year you will gain in understanding of the problems which baffle you now. Your task is to learn to forgive both your mother and your father and try to avoid their mistakes in your own life. It isn’t necessary for you to take sides. Just don’t talk about your dad to your mother. It is hard for her to be fair to him, and she doesn’t realize how it upsets you. She loved him once and saw good qualities in him or she would not have married him. : I don’t know what happened and neither do you but I do know that love often turns to hate when it is wounded. The fact that your mothér now hates your father is no reason for you to hate him also, just as the fact that your father is angry with your mother is -no reason for you to be angry with her, too. Let the whole problem rest and try to enjoy yourself with other children of vour own age. You have your school work to think of and your school friendships to make. Perhaps your mother can find someone else to stay with your little brother occasionally while you go out to play. JANE JORDAN,
