made by a home handyman or local carpenter, it embodies several new features, including double utility as a cabinet for sulphuring fruits. This new kitchen model, developed to aid the wartime program by enabling owners of small gardens to preserve their products, has a capacity of from 10 to 25 pounds of fruits or ‘vegetables. . Five 200watt electric lamps, in an assembly that is removable, supply the heat, while an ordinary household fan circulates air among the: trays, which are of glass. A pedestal fan can now be used and it can be lifted out of the cabinet whenever desired. i By removing the fan ‘and the frame holding the light bulbs, the cabinet may be used for sulphuring fruits. Incidentally, -sulphuring is for fruits only, before dehydration, to maintain quality and color. A sulphur candle or loose sulphur may be burned in a container beneath the trays of the dehydrator. Sulphuring time for apples is 30 min-

In addition the department of agriculture . will soon publish instructions for building inexpensive top-of-the-oven, bird cage and oven drying racks for home dehydrating operations. The bird-cage type is suspended above the kitchen stove; the oven racks are placed in the top grooves of the oven and are

ers with small kitchens. - However, according to Tennessee university expert G. A. Shuey, racks and dryers which utilize the heat of stoves have the disadvantage of requiring rather close supervision to avoid overheating and injury to the food, which also may spoil if heat is not applied continuously. Dryers of this type depend on natural draft to induce air flow through the product, he says, and the volume and speed of the air must be adequate for rapid and uniform drying.

Woman's Viewpoint—

Damon Runyon

Receives a

| Pointed Reply

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON _ Times Special Writer IF YOU WANT advice about running a house, consult a man. They're all good, but the most knowing are those. who do their own work in offices equipped with secretaries, filing clerks and janitors. : By and large, men feel about the household-help shortage as Damon Runyon, who lately got off this one: “I have always contended that a lady who wants a household assistant should either be able to pay excellent wages or haul off and do the work herself. I am not sure more than one household employee should be permitted any able-bodied lady during the war. “I believe that if the ladies were forced to do at least a part of their

"| housework it weuld enhance the

beauty of the landscape in every community which is now marred by what appears to be barrels rolling down boulevards, but on closer inspection turn out to be those vast beams that many of our ladies are developing as a result of inertia around the house.”

tJ » tJ WE COULD ACCEPT such opinfons with good grace from any one of the millions of women who do their own work, including laundry, gardening and the care of several children, But it is a subject the gentlemen columnists had better skip. They're not up on their facts. Quite a few women are leaving their own kitchens for factories, the chief allure of the factories being that everything from executive positions to piecework gives them good pay, high praise and patriotic sensations—to say nothing of the grand feeling that when the day’s stint is done, it’s done. There are no pots to wash. Whatever their trade or calling, and no matter how humble or dirty their tasks, men just drop things when the whistle blows. There's always somebody else whose job it is to clean up after them. No housekeeper can enjoy that sensation. It adds insult to injury to have the law laid down to the ladies by some gentleman toiler whose clothes are laid out, possibly by the wife, whose secretary greets him each morning with a neat desk and poised pen, ready to take his orders, whose messages are carried hither and yon by the office boy, and whose working sanctum is tidied every evening. They know as much about keeping a house as they do about the Einstein theory.

Perfection

Beauties’ Hints—

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THIS YEAR, when gas rationing will curtail much of our traveling back and forth to golf courses,. tennis courts and beaches, we'll have to find a substitute way to take our exercise. “Gardening,” says NBC ] star Margaret Speaks, “is the answer, for it has the virtue of al-. most every sporting exercise.” In the past 10 years of running a small upstate New York farm in between making concert tours and broadcasting, the blond, blueeyed soprano has found that the muscle-stretching work of pruning, transplanting and hoeing has kept her feeling fitter than ever before, ” ” 2 “THREE PRECAUTIONS are necessary, whether you are victory gardening in a big way or just puttering around in your back yard,” Miss Speaks warns. “Guard against ruining your complexion and hands by using a protective lotion and wearing gloves, and avoid catching cold by using a

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 19 years old and I keep house for my daddy, two younger brothers and a younger sister. Mother left us

five years ago and married again. Since then I have tried my best to be mother, but somehow I've slipped. My little sister is 13 and she’s a terrible problem.- She is much larger than I am and takes advantage of the fact. I've tried hard to make her mind and so has daddy but she runs outside of the house and calls us names, and fights and scratches like a wild person. We give her money but the more we try to help her the more she expects from us. I work from 8:15 in the morning until 5 at night. If I don’t get my housework done before I go to work I have to come home at night and clean. She never even sweeps through the house or makes a bed. Almost a week ago she got mad at daddy and me when we were trying to make her mind and went to a neighbor’s house where she has been ever since. She won't come home and the lady she is with won't let her gcome. I think a girl of 13 should have some lady-like ways and try to take some interest in her home. I wasn’t yet 15 when I took the responsibility of her and my brothers. We are more than good to her. How can we make her see that what we ask of her is for her own good? Please give me any advice. DADDY AND SISTER. os 8 2 Answer—It may surprise you but I think you should let your sister stay with the neighbor for a while providing the woman is a nice person. A vacation from her family is what she needs. It often happens that a person outside the family

can influence a oTebellious child

where members of the family fail. |}

Your sister might assume more responsibility and help more with the housework away from home. I know that she seems like a very ungrateful girl to you, without the slightest appreciation of the sacrifices you have made in trying to assume your mother’s place. And of course, actually she is ungrate-

ful, rebellious and trying. The fact is that she is jealous of you, jealous of the fact that you were the one old enough to take over when your mother left, jealous of your father’s reliance on you. This is a very unreasonable and childish reaction on her part, but after all she is still a child and not as mature as you were at her age. The chances are that she will come back when she gets tired staying with the neighbor, or when the neighbor gets tired of having her around. Then will be your chance to work with her on a new basis. Make her welcome and do not scold her for her absence from home. Try to be more of a sister and less of a mother to her. Take her into your confidence and ask her advice about what to do. Instead of giving directions, ask her help as one girl to another. Get your father to pay more attention to her and less to you when she is around. The point is to try to convince her that you are not the favored child. Your attitude toward her is most important. Treat her more like a grown-up than a

child and I believe she will respond | §
