Can Kohlrabi For Tasty Winter Dish
Pack the Surplus String Bean Style By MARGUERITE SMITH FOR SIX patient years, Mrs. Susie Aslos, 945
sudden performan be that Mrs. Aslos laid the branches down last fall and covered them with soil to protect them from the cold. She’s given it plenty of water this summer—hydrangeas always like lots of moisture. And it gets an umbrella over its big flowers on hot sunny mornings, too. : » - » IF YOU raise kohlrabi you always have more of it than you can use while it’s young and tender. So Mrs. W. A. Ocker, 7053 College Ave. cans it. Sliced, water packed as you would string beans, and processed in the pressure cooker, it makes a tasty winter dish, she says. Miss Ellen Ocker, the active partner of this mother-daugh-ter gardening combination, tells me she has wonderful luck using one of the newer fertilizer-vitamin powders. The easily soluble concentrate revived some much wilted transplants for her. . And she also uses it at regular intervals (as advised by the manufacturer) as a fertilizing solution. These high-powered soluble powders are much easier to work with than solutions
—wof regular chemical fertilizers
Cbecause they leave no undissolved residue. ” " » MR. AND MRS. Jasper Thomas, 5134 Melrose Ave., acquired a taste for vegetables as the result of a doctor's advice. Now Mrs. Thotas cans quantities, especially greens, from their large garden. From her I learned the sad fact that it takes a whole washtub of greens, to fill only 11 quart jars.

Mr. Thomas controls corn borer without dusting, simply by keeping watch of the tassels as soon as the corn begins to set, then hand picking the worms.
A time-saving idea of theirs, to use in your own garden right now... . sow broccoli seed thinly in rows, then pull the weak plants to leave only the fast growing ones at 18- to 24inch intervals. = = » AN . EXPERIENCED gardener wants advice on pruning a mock orange that has outgrown its allotted space. Drastic pruning usually results in few flowers but if it has to be done, cut away old and weak shoots at the ground level, then cut back other growth as little as possible. It’s always better to replace shrubs that are too large unless you have the time for Yearly pruning.
Years’ Care

IT'S TIME NOW: To look over your unplanted seeds (our first killing frost usually arrives in mid-October, leaving about 90 days growing weather) ... to plant the last of your Golden Cross Bantam sweet corn this week-end (it takes about 80 days to maturity) ... to sow Chinese cabbage seed (to head up nicely in cool fall days) . .. to keep after poison ivy with a 2, 4-D spray (use it on the morning of a hot, sunny day) . .. to take time for an evening walk through your flower garden (to enjoy the fireflies’ magic lanterns) . . . to give dawdling tomato plants about two tablespoons of chemical fertilizer (or better yet, dissolve it in water and water plants with the solution).

Skirts Begin To Lose
Fullness
Flat Hiplines Noted In Fall Fashions By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, July 9—We can’t
go around laughing at women’s clothes any more, the lady said.
Kay Sullivan, former president
of the New York Fashion Group,
says they're “no longer the funny bone of current history.” Because nobody could still be laughing at long skirts and tent-
{shaped coats. And nobody, so far,
has come up with anything funnier. This fall's clothes, Miss Sulli-
ing, are like last year’s . . . BUT a little less so. : Their length is about 12 inches off the floor for daytime, 10 inches for dress-up short of formality. « Their shoulders are still narrow, but a LITTLE more padded. Their waists are still small, but NOT breathless. And their hips, it is noted, have, for a change “a significant flat look.”
Skirt Fullness Loses
Lots of Its Bumps Coats remain full -flared in many cases, but an almost equal number are fitted. And the back flare of the peignoir begins lower —just below the shoulder blades instead of the hairline. Skirt fullness has lost lots of A good many skirts come straight. Some of the prettiest have a moderate flare below slim hips. And those that still use lots of material have a straight spot some place—usually in front. Collars and pockets are going to be “interesting,” Miss Sullivan promised. They've got collars on everything — even strapless evening dresses, she said. All kinds. And pockets. . The most prominent silhouette, she said, is the “Fencer.” That's a snugly fitted top with a gentle fullness below the waist by her definition. , These clothes, said Miss Sullivan, follow the “true shape of a woman.” And the newspapers, she sald, are going to have to find something else to laugh at.

A SWEET-SMELLING,
UNCLUTTERED
refrigerator is a “must” in a kitchen. If you're addicted to storing food in paper
store or office and find an argument going on over the last eve-
sacks, you'd better stop it right away because paper itself is an Sanford
insulation.
Neither should ‘an accumulation of bottles, jars and cans take up space. And don’t stack or pack things in the refrigerator. Any-
one can follow a few simple rules to get the best out of a refrigerator.
Here are steps for ideal refrigerator conditions: Choose the same day each week for cleaning out the refrigerator; remove all the food; defrost. Add a bit of baking soda to warm water and use a soft cloth to wash the shelves and sides. Dry all the surfaces carefully and refill the trays with fresh cold water. To prevent trays from sticking, wrap waxed paper around the bottom and sides. A charcoal brick placed on one of the shelves in the upper portion of the refrigerator will absorb odors for many months. If it becomes moist and a bit sticky, simply set it in the oven and bake nntil it is dry again. Leftovers should be stored in novered dishes on the top shelf 1earest the unit. Eggs should go an one of the lower shelves, either in their own container, or in a covered bowl. Fresh leafy vegetables, clean and washed, are stored either in the hydrater or in a generousnized plastic bag with a long zipner closing. Washed and drained parsley or watercress go into a quart fruit jar, covered with a piece of waxed paper.
Vacuum Nozzle Cleans Cracks in Your Home
Corners and cracks in the kitchen often are neglected in cleaning because they are difficult to reach with a cloth or brush. As a result, enough crumbs or bits of foods may be left in these accessible places to keep pantry pests alive and ready to infest food supplies. To clean such places, call on your vacuum cleaner and use the attachment with the smallest nozzle. Very often the pull of the vacuum can draw out quickly and easily crumbs and dirt that are difficult to remove in any other way. Instead of the usual method of emptying drawers and turning them upside down to re-

nozzle lift out the litter. This quick cleaning method is effective also for crannies elsewhere in the house which may be holding lint and dust for clothes moths to thrive on.
Risk in Eating Uninspected Mushrooms
IT IS DANGEROUS to pick mushrooms in the wood: and eat them. The safe thing to do is to eat only those mushrooms which have been passed by competent or official inspection. The superstition that a silver coin will become tarnished from the poisonous varieties if it is put in the dish in which mushrooms are being cooked is wholly false. Also tasting is not reliable as well as being a hazardous experiment.
» = # MOST CASES of poisoning in the United States are caused by mushrooms of the amanita family, the best known variety of which is sometimes called the “death angel.” About six to 18 hours after eating this dangerous mushroom the symptoms begin to appear. They usually consist of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and severe abdominal pains. There may be great thirst, inability to urinate, dizziness, jaundice after two or three days and unconsciousness. As a rule more than half of those stricken die, usually about five to eight days after eating the mushroom. There is no g treatment for mushroom poisoning of this kind, although if the stomach can be washed out early the chances of recovery are bet-
” 2 » ANOTHER poisonous mush-| room is called amanita muscaria,| or the “fly amanita.” In this type the symptoms appear early—usually within three hours of eating the mushrooms, and when death occurs it is usually within 24

ning’s hands. Jon Sanford, who is associated with a haberdashery firm on New York's Fifth Ave, is very popular among tournament players. When the boys drop in to buy a new tie or shirt, they naturally get into a discussion of hands. In connection with today’s hand, Sanford justified his sev-, en no trump bid by saying, “It was the last hand of the game, and I knew I had to get all the points to win.” However, at rubber bridge I do not think he was too optimistic. » td # EAST MADE the - natural opening of the king of hearts. If the queen of hearts had been opened, Sanford thinks he would have been on the spot. But when he saw the king of hearts, he felt sure he was going to make the contract, He did not think that Ea-t, who was a very co. cvative player, would have made a vulnerable overcall of even one heart without at least the kingqueen of hearts and king of spades. . Sanford won the king of hearts, then laid down four diamond tricks and six club tricks. This left him with the ace and queen of spades, and in dummy the six of spades and jack of hearts. Reasoning that East was down to the blank king of spades and king of hearts, Sanford led dummy’'s spade, went up with the ace, caught the king, znd the queen of spades
was good for the 13th trick.
Tombstone Textbook
NEWPORT, R. IL—(NEA)— An old New England cemetery with its rows of crumbling tombstones is an inspiring class-
room for young Roxanne Price. Roxanne, 24, is one of the few women in the world who have mastered the ancient and difficult art of stone-cutting. Because handcarved tombstones are a rarity in this mass-pro-duction era, Roxanne turns for design inspiration to the weathered masterpieces of the 18th century found in the cemeteries around this summer resort. A former advertising design student, slim, brown-haired girl rs -her career switch simply, “Advertising is too commercial. I found I was much more interested in Inscription
With pride and pleasure she points to her work on a granite slab. Deep, brilliant letters cut with mallets and chisels offer sharp contrast to the soft, dull natural finish of the stone. It takes about four or five days for Roxanne to chisel out a design and letters on a slab. “ ‘Almost all the lettering you see in cemeteries now is done by machine,” she says sadly, “The worst faults of machine work are, I think, *4“at the letter forms are bad and that the stones are rubbed smooth until all the character of the stone is lost.” Proof that Roxanne has mastered her craft is that she was recently made a

All day long, they say, a gal has to pound a typewriter, hop up and down to the files, stall people who

BUT I don't think America’s 105 women bank presidents would agree with that picture. And I don’t think gals who are not executives
have any idea how tough a grind most executive jobs are, Companies don’t pay those nice salaries for nothing. And businessmen don’t get ulcers and drop dead of heart disease from taking it easy.

Teen Problems— | Simple Frocks i
Are Best For Dances
For Summer Wear, | Cottons Are ‘Tops’ | By JEAN ! FOR MANY a younger teen gal, dating begins in the summertime. Busy vacation days bring new friendships and new experiences. If a gal's first date is a beach picnic or a home-type gathering, the question of special clothes needn’t enter the picture. But for a teen-age dance at club or hotel, “What'll I wear?” is important. Maybe Mom considers Susie still a babe in arms. She'll not think it necessary to make with an evening frock. Well, it's a fact that in most parts of the country, gals over 12 wear ong dresses to dances after 5 p. m. - » . SIMPLE little things, of course, Susie would look mighty silly in red satin or black crepe! Cotton is a natural-for summer EpEinly, pique, calico or gingam. The vogue for blouses and evening skirts is a boon. Even grown-ups wear ‘em, Susie's best peasant blouse can be teamed with a long, “illowy cotton skirt that Mom can whip up in an afternoon or make over from one of hers. It'll be tops in style and comfort for hot-weather stepping. Yes, summer dance duds are an important but sot a tough problem. And for young teen boys they're simpler. Although boys - about - town may wear dinner jackets .fter 14, slacks and jackets are just as correct in the summer-time -—and 10 times as comfortable.
