Try Meat-Coated Carrots for A Tasty and Nourishing Dish

OF ONE THING THE AMERICAN housewife can be sure—that there will be more carrots for the duration. The nation’s farmers have been requested to step up carrot production. Now it is up to the housewife to prevent menu monotony by catching up in carrot cookery, as well as in learning interesting ways of serving carrots raw in

salads or as appetizers. Carrots may be baked, breaded, stuffed, sauteed, and combined in nourishing vegetable soups, stews, casseroles, and even in custards. Taking a tip from Britain’s wartime cooks, who have learned to be versatile in serving this vitamin-A-rich vegetable, we, too, will be blending carrots with preserved fruits before long to save sugar. Finely-chopped carrots are a wonderful extender for orange marmalade. Carrot jam, flavored with lemon, and with coarsely-chopped nuts added, also is excellent.

Meat-Coated Carrots

To begin with, extend your meat in the manner worked out by expert home economists to make it go farther and taste better. To a pound of ground raw meat add 2%cup pan-roasted quick oats and 15cup water, salt and any other desired seasonings. Parboil 12 small carrots for about 10 minutes. Press the meat around them so that each is completely covered. Brush with vitaminized margarine and bake at moderate heat (400 degrees F.) for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with a garnish of parsley or actual carrot tops at the stem end of each coated carrot. Fluffy rice or riced potatoes and broccoli with a hot sauce of real mayonnaise make an attractive luncheon plate with the coated carrots. To make hot mayonnaise sauce, add % cup milk to 4 cup real mayonnaise and stir smooth while heating in double boiler. . 2 2 2

Wartime Fabrics Take Special Care

Aralac, the magic milk material, has passed from the fashion prophecy stage to sa reality. Now you don’t merely read about aralac. You see it, buy it, wear it, have it dry-cleaned. Which should remind you that aralac, like other wonderful new wartime fabrics, is still a babe-in-arms and should be treated as such. It’s young and special and can’t be tossed around like your old and hardy pre-war familiars. For instance, its strength is reduced considerably when wet or immersed in cleaning fluid and this calls for additional care.

Timing Plays Star Role in Child Training

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer THE IMPORTANCE OF timing in all steps in the education cf children, from toilet training in infancy te teaching arithmetic, is emphasized in a new book by a New York child psychologist, Dr. Myrtle McGraw. The book, “The Neuromuscular Maturation of the Human Infant,” published by the Columbia University Press, is rather technical but contains much of interest to both parents and educators. Many a young mother, following the vogue of a few years back, in starting toilet training at a very early age has been disappointed to find that just when she thought she had baby ready to shed his diapers, she had all the training do over again. Baby just was not old enough, or rather, had not reached the stage in his nervous and muscular development to be trainable.

8 2 MOTHER WiLL GET better results if she waits to start training until baby is old enough to show by his facial expression or by other signs that he is aware of the activity she is trying to train. She should be prepared, however, for apparent setbacks after a period of progress in the training Some of these may be due to the fact that baby has begun to learn another conscious activity, such as standing alone or walking. A third setback may come, and be most disappointing to mother, just after baby has become quite dependable about pointing or using some other gesture to indicate his desires. The child’s nervous and muscular development seems to move in tides, ebbing for one activity while swelling for anofher,

on 37th st. to a fence ledge below. The ladder belongs to Mrs. Elizabeth Buerger of 143 E. 37th st. Mrs. Buerger today said she saw nothing unusual in the fact that her cat had a special ladder, or that, contrary to cat tradition, it could run down as well as up the ladder. Mrs. Buerger turned to a large black dog, also a family pet. “Rexie used to run up and down Petes ladder when he was little,” she said, “but he fell off one day and he’s never been on it since.” Rexie lives in an old-fashioned doghouse in Mrs. Buerger’s bedroom. Petie sometimes curls up under the

fers to nap, especially on sunny days, on the wood-pile of Maj. George Fielding Eliot, the war expert, whose home is opposite. ” 2 8 THIS MORNING PETIE glanced speculatively across to the Eliot woodpile neatly stacked on the back porch. But he hesitated at the top of his ladder. A camera was focused on him from below. “I guess the Major's doping out some more war stuff,” Mrs. Buerger commented as we watched a man in a blue shirt furiously typing at an upper window. Maj. Eliot recently rented one of the two charming white brick houses on E. 38th st. which Russell A. Pettengill, the architect, leased and remodeled a few years ago. The other, Mrs. Cholmeley-Jones’ old home with the front garden walk, is now occupied by the Kennedy Boardmans, who rented it from Cass Canfield, president of Harper Brothers, é& 4 # “PETIE KNOWS THEM all,” Mrs. Buerger spoke with neighborly pride. “Mr, Petengill’'s a smart man. They say he designed the small dollar bill.” The sudden flare of our photographer’s flashlight sent Petie scuttling down the ladder and under the fence. “Dear me,” said Mrs. Buerger, “I'll have to get the catnip to bring him back.” A moment later she was in the yard of 143, catnip in hand, calling Petie. Cautiously he poked his head under the fence, gave a melancholy howl when he saw the photographer and disappeared again. His day had been ruined.

Lip Tips

Vicki Vola: Versatile star.

THERE IS nothing quite so unsightly as lipstick left on the rim of your cup or glass. Except, perhaps, a new coat of lipstick which has been applied unevenly over the old layer. Stage and film stars long ago discovered that the secret of smooth, kissable lips depended on two things: “First, use a tiny brush to shape your lips,” says talented radio and stage acress Vicki Vola. ‘Start from each corner of your mouth and work toward the bow in one stroke. Then follow the outline of your lower lip in the same way.” $4 8

INCIDENTALLY, this is a good way to use up the rouge left in the bottom of the container. “Fill in with a generous amount of lipstick,” she continues, “and then press a piece of tissue against your mouth, to absorb the excess lipstick. This will leave them satin smooth.” And to set it so that there won't be tell-tale marks on cups and such,

NEW YORK, May 7.—New Yorkers are so accustomed to seeing strange sights that they seldom ask questions. But for a long time the residents of E. 37th and 38th sts, in the block between Lexington and Third aves, have been puzzled by an acrobatic cat which runs up and down a ladder extending from a second story rear window of a house

Australia Restricts Drycleaning

In Australia you can't have an evening dress dry-cleaned. Nor a dinner jacket. Nor lots of other things frivolous, fancy or glamorous. For some time now, nothing has been dry-cleaned down under but the sternly essential. Makes you appreciate the privilege of being able to drop into your dry-cleaners knowing your clothes will come back fresh, spanking clean and with a new lease on life.

Twenty-four million cans of corn, tomatoes and other vegetables will soon be released from army stocks for civilian use. Surplus was accumulated through the increased use of dehydrated foods in shipments to troops overseas.
