Mold ot Foods!

Not Always

Dangerous

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer WHEN SUMMER weather is we' as well as warm, many housewives have more than usual trouble with mold on bread or other foods. vear we cannot afford to waste any food, it is especially important to keep mold from spoiling it. A chemical treatment for bread dough that is said to prevent mold growth has recently been developed, but unless vou know that your bread has been so treated, vou will want to try vourself to prevent its getting moldy. The most important thing for fighting mold is to keep the bread dry. Many housewives in the summer keep the bread in the refrigerator where the low temperature, andi the dryness in some mechanical refrigerators, stop the growth of the mold! Since most people do not like dry bread, however,

and dark, favors the growth of mold. The bread box should therefore be scalded, sunned and aired frequentlv. Once a week is not too often.

= LJ

MOLD ITSELF IS not necessarily unwholesome. If you are fond of the more highly flavored cheeses, vou know that some of them, Roquefort, for example, owe their delicious flavor to molds. Food that has begun to mold can be eaten without danger if the molding has not. extended too far and not too much of it is eaten. If there is only a little mold on a loaf of bread hat did not show

ably the bread can be eaten, The real danger of mold on food is that after a while the mold growth produces decomposition, putrefaction and decay of the food. which does make it nn to eat.

Cupid i in 2 Slump, Marriages Fewer

FOR THE FIRST the war started, cupid has taken a slump. For the last three years, during the matrimonial rush before the

time since

bachelors went off to the wars, the marriage license business at the county clerk's office increased steadily. But during.the last six months, fewer and fewer couples are getting married due to the diminishing supply of single men still on the home front. During the first six months of this vear, 3107 marriage licenses were issued, a drop of 300 below the number issued during the first six months of 1942. During June, the traditional month of marriages. only 625 licenses were issued here, compared to 700 in June, 1942.

First Women ‘Deckhands’

Complete Trip

Times Special

LONDON, July 7.—In a

port

miles of voyaging, are the first women in this war to go to sea as

British ship. They are members of the women's roval naval service (WRENS), ashore for a few days from action stations in the battle of the Atlantic, and the most thrilling of all women's war jobs. The job is so important that hundreds of thousands of fighting men’s lives depend on it. And it is secret, as you would expect in those circumstances. All that can be told about the work is that they code and decode radio messages sent and received by troop transports in which our armies are being “ghosted” to the world front.

All Are Volunteers

These girls, all volunteers, are listed as deckhands in the ship logs. “We went to Canada in the worst Atlantic storm for four years,” a WREN third officer said. “The seas were fearful. We managed to work

‘Hazards’

“We have made half a dozen At[lantic trips since.” said a pert-faced | WREN who spent her days in peace time selling beauty preparations in a London store. | “We are usually the only women on the ship and consequently pretty spoiled, although we have managed

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—-My wife land IT have been married four years and have two children. Up until last year we were getting along fine. Then she started to change. Before we always went places together. Now she wants to go by herself. Then rumors started that she was going with other men and I found out that it was true. She left and went to her mother's for three weeks and then begged me to let her come back because of the children. I consented and she settled | down for about five months. She and my sister got a gether and she went from bad to] | worse. She started going out with her boss. My sister knew this but {didn't tell me for a long time. I | accused her and she denied it. The next day she took the children and went to Chicago to her mother's. Now she writes to me and wants me to give up my home and everything I have built up in four years to come up there and live. She said if IT did she would settle down for good. Or, she said if I moved into another neighborhood here she would come back and settle down. I still love her even after all she has done to me and I miss the children terribly. Ever since we have been married I have let her have her way most of the time. I wish you would help me to make |a decision. Should I leave everything here and go there to live?! Should T move and take her back believing that she would change? | Or should I stay separated from her | as we are now? A LONELY »
