Points to Need of
Higher Shoe Tariff

Montreal, May 1S.-(AP)-Collis
Lovely of Boston, president of the In
ternational Boot and Shoe Workers
Union, here to attend a union conven-
tion. today said a higher tariff on all
shoes imported into the United States
and Canada is urgently needed in view
of the great amount of unemployment
in the industry. He admitted a higher
tariff in itself would not do away with
unemployment.
Mr.. Lovely attributed the high cost
of shoes today to the constant change
in styles of women's shoes. Changes
in patterns result in much wastage he
asserted. Postwar depression was
blamed by Mr.. Lovely for part of the
unemployment.

y Time and time again the Insti-
tute is asked about the safety OF
using aluminium for cooking uten-
sis, and occasionally the question
of safety is applied to enamel ware.
Careful Investigations of both these
wares have proved that. they are
perfectly safe to use. At times
there is a slight action on the
aluminium in cooking, but it is not
OF a harmful nature. However, II
is well not to use aluminium for
storing acid FOODS or Tor COOKING
pickles or similar foods requiring
q long time, not because OF any
danger from a health standpoint.
but because OF the effect on the
utensil and the possible effect on
the flavor of the food. We haze
been unable to find any evidence
that enamel utensils are in any way
unsafe. You may feel perfectly
free. then, to use utensils OF both
these materials.
The question OF heat conductivity
and fuel-saving may have arisen IN
your mind as a result of the claim
OF some enthusiastic salesman. In

possible to determine some slight
difference in the heat conductivity

straight handle Is a good design.
One having a three-pint capacity
will also be found decidedly useful.
For boiling vegetables, straight
sided covered pans about three and
one.half quarts in capacity are a.
good size for a family Of four. A
large covered utensil OF the Berlin
style, that is, with slightly convex
ed sides, must be considered for
cooking such things as q ham, or
q vegetable, like spinach, which
take UP much space. The Berlin
shape provides the maximum ca
pacity for the minimum space. The
capacity for this utensil should be
about six quarts.
Roasting pans may be either oval
or oblong. The rooster may have
to be adapted to the size Of your
oven, therefore note the dimensions
OF your oven before selecting a
rooster. A rooster approximately
ten by fifteen inches is good
average size.
In considering frying-pans or
skillets, 1t is well to have two sizes,
a small one, four or five inches in
diameter, and a larger one, eight
or ten inches in diameter. You will
find innumerable uses for the
smaller size, such as browning a
few onions for seasoning, or max
ing an individual omelet.
Durability is another important
consideration in making q first Sc
lection OF cooking utensils. Pur-
chase utensils of good quality and
standard makes. BY good quail
ity'' we do not necessarily mean
heavy in weight. The utensil
should be well made and sturdy
enough to hold its shape. The
handles should be securely at
tached and able to Withstand the
strain and weight OF the utensil
and its contents. A bail handle or
two U.shaped handles is satisfac-
tory for the larger utensils, while
the straight handle is better for the
small saucepan. Bail handles
should be SO designed that they
may lock into a vertical position
as a protection from heat. If the
handle grip on a skillet Is Of wood,
it should be far enough away or
protected in such ~ way from the
heat that it will not become char
red. We wish manufacturers OF
cooking utensils would give special
attention to this part OF the design.

Cream and sugar may be served
with tea, or sugar and lemon, or
a slice of lemon plain, or one con-
tanning few cloves. Lemon, and
cream are never taken together.
The green teas do not take as

You have wondered why your
