HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.
MORE CORN, LESS WHEAT.

IL you use little more corn every
day you will use a little less wheat.
And a little less wheat every day
means a great deal less wheat in the
course of a year. And that is what
we are all striving for. For as we
all know America must do much to-
ward feeding the world this year, and
American cannot produce enough
wheat for this task. We must there
fore use other grains in place of
wheat to make the wheat go farther
So remember-a little more corn
every day means a little less wheat
used in your household, and a little
more wheat piling up to feed the
hungry world.
Various delicious cornmeal recipes
have been worked out by different or
ganizations that are planning TO cope
with the food problem this summer
And here are some tested recipes OF
an economical sort.
Eggless corn muffins-This is a
cecipe from the department Of foods
and cookery Of one OF the large uni
yersities. The ingredients called for
are:
l cup cornmeal. teaspoonful salt,
l cup milk, Ia cup sugar, table
spoonfuls melted butter. teaspoon
fuls baking powder. 1-2 cup sifted
pastry flour.
Mix all the dry ingredients, and then
add milk and butter. Bake in creased
muffin tins for half an hour This
recipe makes ten mullins and the cost
is less than 10 cents.
Corn bread-The following recipe for
corn bread is one that was used by
the Life Extension Institute in the
experiments carried on in New York
City with a diet squad last winter.
The ingredients called for are cups
corn meal. ! cup flour, ! teaspoonfuI
salt, l cup warm water. teaspoon
fuls baking powder, teaspoonfuls
sugar, pint sweet milk. S-4 cup lard.
(Other fat could be substituted for the
lard.) Mix the dry ingredients, add
the lard. melted. the milk and water,
and bake in a thin sheet.
Corn meal fishballs-This is a recipe
from the Department of Agriculture
that calls for cups cold white corn
meal mush. l cup shredded Goldfish. l
egg, l tablespoonful of butter. The
Goldfish should be picked to pieces
and, II necessary, shredded. Then
the ingredients should be mixed thor
Oughly and dropped by spoonfuls into
hot fat. Drain on paper. and serve.
Any cold cooked fish can be substi-
tuted for the Goldfish, and yellow corn
meal mush may be used. The GRO
quettes may be served, if desired.

MANY HAPPY RETURNS.

l think II takes a spc ccisl gift TO be
able to turn our troubles into other
peoples joys. l am sure that sounds
IKE paradox, but am thinking of
| something that happened out here,
Just recently. You know we have q
good many children acting in the va
rious studios around Hollywood. One
{ or them Is Joe-a boy about thirteen.
He is such a genial, lovabIe little
chap. and when a birthday loomed
ahead of him, he planned to have a
big party.
Instead, just two DAYS beforehand
he vas taken i'll with measles, and
landed in the hospital in Los Angeles.
We all Of US felt SO sorry for him,
although. as Joe said IL was just his
luck TO catch only measles instead of
something heroic. He was not al
lowed to write to any one, Of course.
but his mother brought back word
that Joe wanted the other children to
have birthday party. just the same.
1t was surely was the oldest affair.
They had a big picture OF Joe deco
rated with flowers, and underneath
in large letters It said:
Il wish you all many happy returns
Of my birthday"
The children had a wonderful time,
and one of the things they did 10
show their appreciation was to send
a sort Of Round Robin To the measles
patient. l saw a COPY Of ir, Just as
the children drew it up themselves,
and II was delightfully."- sympathetic
This is how 1t read:
TO Joe IN the HospitaI-we all
want to write and tell You what a
fine time we've had AT your party.
Every game we PLAYED We chose you
first. Then in the forfeiJs the girls
had to kiss your picture. We're sorry
you have the measles. but We wish
you many happy returns Of your
birthday"
Then underneath, each one Of the
children signed his or her name. and
Joe said it was the incest present he
had received while in the hospital.
When he came out they all had a
surprise for him. I moan the older
ones. When he ran up the steps Of
the bungalow the first one to greet
him was a thoroughbred Boston bull
We had not named him. hut Joe did
the moment he saw him. He grabbed
the puppy up in his arms and laughed
as he said:
Hello, old Scout Are you mIne."

had to laugh at Joe. He said, cas-
ually, that he'd been wondering how
old he would have TO he before he
could own a whole dog of his own.
There seems to be such a close ar-
unity between boys and dogs. 1 can
remember when Jack begged and
begged for a dog. and mother
wouldn't let him have one while he
was travelling on the road. She never
had much use for pet dogs, anyway,
and she was always telling US that
We must not do anything that would
