Soap Saving Aids

‘War Conservation

Although soap is still plentiful, the patriotic housewife will include | soap saving in her war conservation program on the ground that in wartime nothing should be wasted. In pre-war days people thought nothing of letting the cake remain in the tub or wash basin between latherings, but today that is extravagance. Soap that is not in action belongs in a dry soap dish. Left-over bits should be saved and made into liquid or jellied- soap by adding hot water. Glass sugar dispensers such as are used in restaurants are convenient holders for liquid soap made this way. Learn by experiment just how much soap you need to make good suds and thereafter use only that amount to start with. As the suds die down or are used up, add more soap carefully to make the lather

Keep fats from . scorching and smoking. Once a fat reaches the smoking point, it gets rancid quicker and makes food cooked in it harder to digest. : Save all fat drippings. Use “as is” for flavoring vegetables and in other cooking. Use drippings as fat. Heat them, strain them, mix several kinds together if you like. Use in pastry hot breads, some cakes and cookies, or to cook meats that haven't enough fat of their own. Save excess poultry fat, excess fat trimmed. from raw meat.

Heath War Is Danger] To Children Of f ‘Gang Age’.

‘By JANE ‘STAFFORD ‘Seience Service Writer

THERE 1S GREAT danger that

years may, because of the war, have their emotional development ar-

gang and members of their own sex exclusively and fail to achieve the emotional stage of grown men and women, Dr. Helen Ross of the Institute for Psychoanalysis, Chicago, warned at the meeting of the American Orthopsychiatric association. At the 6 to 11-year age, children feel a great need for self-impor-tance, she pointed out. They are less interested in the family and

club. They have a tendency to exclude grown-ups from their activities~and interests. In war, this may be especially dangerous for boys because of the absence of the father and the lack of men teachers and playground directors who ordinarily guide boys and give them, deliberately or otherwise, a pattern to follow in growing up. Mothers and women teachers cannot supply this pattern or hero which a boy can strive to become. s ” » HITLER, Dr. Ross pointed out, has capitalized on this tendency of 6 to 11-year-old boys to turn from the family to the gang. The law of the Nazis takes precedence over parental authority. Along with the gang interest, there

is at this age a constant striving to

reach the next oldest age level and its sophistication which may, Dr. Ross thinks, account for an increase

|in delinquency in children at this

age. The 10-year-old’s effort to feel and show that he is as smart as the boy in his teens may lead to delinquent activities. The boy of this age should be

* |given a chance to help in defense

work of a kind that will make him feel important and in which there is a chance for his competitive spirit to find an outlet. Girls of this age will chiefly be affected by seeing older sisters going to work or marrying younger than usual. How they react, Dr. Ross said, will be determined largely by the degree of emotional stability they have already achieved.

Four Tips for Your Spring Cleaning

In anticipation of spring cleaning, Westinghouse home economists have rounded up some cleaning hints worth remembering the year round: Rubbing wax on window sills, Venetian ‘ blinds and work surfaces protects the finish and simplifies cleaning. : An ordinary paint brush saves time when dusting furniture, especially elaborate furniture. Dip a cloth in vinegar and water to wipe off furniture—makes polishing easier and finger marks don’t show. Grease spots on walls vanish with a dusting of French chalk—let chalk remain for several hours and brush off with a soft clean cloth or small brush.
