Long, Slow Cooking Tenderizes Wild Game Too often the feast at a wild bird or animal Is disappointing because the meat Is tough and stringy. As many cooks have learned, the ordinary methods used on domestic meats will net bring out file best flavor in wild game. Long, slow, moist cooking that tenderizes less tender meats is recommended for either wild bird or animal. It’s best to cook the game at low temperatures in a covered pan. Wild meat can perhaps be further tenderized by basting it with orange juice, the acid of which seems to break down the tissues and makes the meat more tender. The older game should be separated from the young animals and cooked at different times, since they will require longer cooking. The older ones can be tenderized somewhat if they are permitted to age for several days and are then parboiled before cooking.

Clean Undergarments The potential siren may be under the impression that since black doesn’t show dirt, she can cut down on the frequency of lingerie laundering. That is where she is wrong. Black or. white or tearose, body Ous and perspiration attach themselves to underwear and have to be washed out. No girl who is truly dainty gives an “extra” wearing to a garment because its color doesn't give away the number of wearings it already has had. Here is a washing tip for dark-hued underwear. Wash it before the first wearing. Often there is excess dye on the surface which loosens when combined with body secretions and stains other clothing or the skin Use plenty of lukqwarm suds for washing, clear lukewarm water for rinsing. Greasy Drainpipe Always a source of annoyance to the busy housewife, the grease clogged drainpipe is more likely to give trouble in cold weather than in warm. Grease floating on the dish water or a sink clogged by accumulated grease is not only a nuisance, but indicates that dishes and pans can be more carefully scraped before washing and the fat, so precious in wartime, saved, strained into cans, and turned into the butcher for salvage. Pouring boiling water down the drain every few months helps keep it in good condition by softening and carrying away the grease. Whenever a drain, begins to “run slow,” boiling water should be used at once, and also, if possible, one of the rubber force cups on a handle known as “plumber’s friend.”

Swiss Navy Scratch off the ancient joke about the Swiss navy. There is a Swiss navy—but it consists of merchant ships, most useful ones, too—ten ships all told. The Barcelona International convention of 1921 granted landlocked the right to have her own ships on the high seas. War conditions which restricted or stopped her use of the ships of other nations, forced her to take advantage of her privilege. The ten ships operate under the protection of all belligerents, follow a prescribed course and their positions are reported at stated intervals. Each ship prominently displays a big “SWITZERLAND” on the starboard side and a Swiss coat-of-arms on the deck. At night the ships are completely illuminated. Cleaning Spots It’s the usual thing to use water on all spots. But spots that contain grease, such as those made by mayonnaise and gravy, should first be cleaned with an absorbent which takes up the grease. On most kitchen shelves are good absorbents, such as commeal or other coarse grains. Once the grease has been removed, water can be used to dissolve the sugar or carbohydrates in the spots. For such purposes it is a satisfactory solvent. The grease solvent should always be used first, then the water. Since most food stains are a combination of fat and carbohydrate, it is best—if you’re unsure of the content of the stain—to use a grease solvent

WHITE BEAR is the na+e of • man who lives at Quapaw, Okla. He is past 70 and not rich but he is famous for his kindness and generosity for miles farther than you can see the smoke from his “tepee.” Some grandparents live in the past but not White Bear. His youngest child, an only son, has kept him young in spirit. The boy was a true Quapaw brave, in fact, a paratrooper. Finally to White Bear’s fireside came an ominous little yellow envelope ... a telegram from the War Department. The son had liquidated his obligation to the country that was verily his own. The tragedy took, place in training maneuvers ndur Des Moines, la. White Bear hesitated no minute after the news came. Promptly he drew his savings from the bank, all of them, and boarded a bus. A Hero’s AT Des Moines a bus!Funeral 1 nesslike officer showed White Bear his son’s pall. The proud father was ashamed. The casket seemed far too cheap for one so great and noble as an American paratrooper, a Quapaw fullblood. White Bear frankly spoke his mind and the officer told him how much the government would pay toward a more pretentious funeral. The old tribesman took the suggestion and accepted the credit. At home the young brave had been prominent and popular, loved and admired by many. He must now return like a hero. Handsome things the father desired cost $72 more than the government’s fixed

Then the unhappy father left shipping instructions with the officer and disappeared. -Out toward the highway he went without a dollar to thumb rides home in time for the funeral. Beyond FORGET for a moment His Day those jaunty horsemen of the plains whose hatchets retarded the Gold Rush. Forget also the colored tales of modern Osages rolling in wealth. ' Here is something more nearly true: Specimen of, a vanishing race, sore of foot and dim of vision, trudging sadly homeward, quite ignored by hurrying traffic; a stranger in his native West, too proud to beg, too honorable to steal. ( South of Kansas City a short way. White Bear’s time was more than half gone, his vitality almost depleted and his journey not yet half finished when help came. A suburbanite who had seen Indians before, sparing his tires along the highway’s outer lane, saw the old.man with perceiving eyes; dismissed him two hours later, - strengthened with a $2 steak and humbled with a ticket home. I How ideally Ameri&n is this elder of the Quapaws. From his eyes no gaudy tears, no simpering ’about economic inequalities, no railing at “the system," no carping about rigid Army rules. With admirable independence he faced what might have been his "'last crisis, alone, with bitterness toward none, ready with his last penny to glorify his scion, his state and his race. /
