WINDOW BOX AND BACK
PORCH POOR PLACES TO
STORE FOOD, EXPERT SAYS

Keeping food in an open window
box or on the back porch in cold
weather is among the most common
and worst of present-day kitchen
crimes, according to DR.. Martha
Manning, home refrigeration expert
Three distinct dangers menace
fresh foodstuffs subjected to such
treatment. Contamination, in one
wav or another, is all too probable.
Dust from the street, besides set
fling an unpleasant CRIME on the
food is laden with bacteria which
sometimes include disease germs.
plies. other insects and the family
nets, too, are a source of frequent
insanitary Ndepredations. Dryness
of the cold air and it's too rapid
circulation rob moist foods of their
tender, delicious quality. Once
+oughened and withered, their sue
culence never can be restored by
the most artful cook. Rapid chang
es in temperature, ranging from
endden heat to freezing cold, form
the third damaging influence. Deli
cate greens, such as lettuce, and
MANY fruits are harmed by tempera-
lures too low, though not freezing.
All food subjected to such make
shift storage is likely to be frozen
every time the temperature drops.
After a crust of ice has formed on
milk and vegetables and meats have
undergone the slightest frostbite
their appealing flavor and delicious
food qualities are spoiled for all
time. Cold air alone is not enough
IN keep perishable foods in perfect
condition; melting ice is needed to
simply just the right amount of
moisture and the temperature most
favorable to the perfect preserva-
tion of form and flavor. Every
household which stores it's food
stuffs in the open window box or
the porch suffers expensive loss
from spoiled food materials.
The sensible and economical way
n preserve food in the home kitch-
on is to keep it safely slowed away
in the clean and icy depths of a
GOOD refrigerator until it is needed
for cooking or serving.

AIR MAIL CLERK

Walter o. Tuchfarder, a Kansas
Railway Mail Clerk, anticipates
that the air mail will eventually be
distributed on routes by air mail
clerks. He has written the big
post Office Department in Washing
ION about it, and his letter says:
anticipating the time when the
oi,, mail will be distributed enroute,
wish to offer myself as a candi-
date for air mail clerk" This is ap-
,,1ication number one, and it has
been made a matter of careful rec
ord in Washington as it may be nee
ossary to make such appointments
sometime in the future.
Mr.. TucRfarder is a farsighted
man.

drain. Constant circulation keeps
the air pure.
Moisture is given off by the melt
ing ice cake in exactly the right
amount to keep foods tender and
juicy. Otherwise we should find
meats dried and tasteless, carrots
and spinach wilted, and cooked
foods becoming hard and dry from
continued exposure to refrigerator
air. Once foodstuffs have become
too dry the cleverest cook never can
restore their fresh coloring and
crisp tenderness.

cred by the grocer and its subse-

than merely keeping food in cold
air.
There must be melting ice, which
produces an air current that flows
over the ice-box, through the sue
cessive food chambers, sweeping up
excess strong odors and carrying
them back to the ice cake. Here
the warmed stream of air deposits
its odorous burden on the watery
film, which carries it down the

home TOWN"
IS STRONG FOR
JACK DELANEY
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Corresponden.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. 15.--
All steamed up about it's foremost
citizen, Ovila Chapdelaine, better
known as Jack Delaney, Bridge
port today presented the atmos
pnere of New Haven on the eve of
the big three football game.
No one in Bridgeport doubts that
Delaney will knock out the 200
pound jim Maloney, Boston heavy
weight, in their fight in New York
Friday night and take the big step
towards a match with Gene Tunney
for the world championship.
The atmosphere of confidence
which saturates the town hangs
over the apartment where Delaney
is living with his family and the
dingy little gymnasium where he is
doing his preparatory work.
Delaney is strictly a man of the
woods in temperament and inclina-
ton, although in personal appear
ance he seems built for the ball
room and high society.
Point him out on the street to the
average man and you wdAld be told
on guess that he was matinee
idol or a movie hero.
How do | feel about the fight?'
he said. "Wcll, | never was more
sure of anything in my life. l don t
see how | can lose and [ am not
saying this because you asked me
My reason is that | never felt so
well physically and that is all that
is necessary. / know l have the
mechanical equipment and if the
old wind and the old legs are there,
| IN there, and | am there.
Maloney bigger than l am? Yes,
and what of it! | don t look like
baby, do II Maloney may have 25
pounds on me but IN strong as he
is and he won't twist me around. -
Delany looks to be in splendid
condition. He may be a little fine
in fact; his trainers have ordered
him to reduce work so that he will
have some weight to work on in the
last days of training.
He is possessed of confidence
on the destiny stuff"
that influenced Tunncy before he
beat Dempsey and after watching
him and listening to him it is hard
to picture him as anything but a
winner.
