COLLEGE DEGREE GIVEN
FOB DISH WASHING

Dish washing, which, like the wsa-
ther has long been one OF those
things about which everybody COM
plains but does nothing, has at last
been dignified as a college course.
The University of Chicago has
awarded a degree to young woman
who made an intensive study OF the
subject and established the first dish
washing record ever set up.
The most important discovery
made by the young lady who won a
Master of Arts degree with dish
towel, is that washing dishes twice
instead of three times a day is
labor saving scheme for a house
wife. Choosing the subject OF dish
washing as a speciality, the student
planned a six months experiment.
During all that time she washed
dishes assiruously. She had two
helpers, but not of the common kit
chen variety. Instead of a towel, one
held a stop watch and the other
counted every movement made, from
the clearing of the table to the final
puttingl away of the last fork, ac-
cording to the Woman's Home Com
panion, which tells of the expert
ment.
Various types of soap and meth
DDS of rinsing and drying were
tested, but the most interesting con-
clusions had to do with the organ
ization of the work. 1t appeared that
the quickest plan was to stack the
dishes for three meals and do them
all up in one operation just before
lunch. Thus the days dishes for
family of four would be cleaned and
all put away in twenty-five minutes
and thirty-one seconds, using LOIS
motions. AS against washing UP
three times day, this saved 800 mo-
tions.
1t was pointed out that the sys-
TEN, if well organized, need not in
terfeze with the ancient ideal OF
neat kitchen, so long cherished by
famous housekeepers.

show signs of becoming established.
1t is usually well to pinch out the
top of the shoot after three or four
pairs of leaves have formed, though
sometimes this is done after the
second pair of leaves is mature.
Three to five shoots will appear,
which in turn should be stopped"
No pinching out should be done
after the middle of July, as this
might bring the bloom too late in
the autumn.

INSIDE INFORMATION

pigeons IurQlSQ an interesting
example of an equal division of la
Dor in family life. Both the male
and the female birds sit on the eggs,
the male sitting from a. m. until
about p. m, and the female stay
ing on the nest the rest of the time.
The squads are reared and fed by
both parents, on a thick creamy
mixture called pigeon milk, pro-
duced in the crops of the birds.
Know Poison Ivy!
Many people are introduced to
poison ivy or its relative, poison
sumac, in a most unpleasant way,
because they don't know how to
avoid "acquaintaneeship" with these
plants. Poison ivy is most readily
recognized by it's leaves, which are
always divided into three leaflets,
and by its whitish, Waxy fruits
Though the plants don't always
have fruits) that resemble mistle-
toe berries. Leaflets three, let it
be" is good advice. The leaves OF
poison sumac are divided into from
z to 13 leaflets, arranged in pairs,
with a single lea1et at the end.
Through the winter the plants have
cream-colored fruits. Poison sum-
ac grows only on wet land.
1t is a mistake to try to save ice
by wrapping it in papers or cloth.
You want to save food, which is
done by lowering the refrigerator
temperature through the warm air
coming into contact with the ice.
This naturally melts the ice, but at
the same time accomplishes the
purpose of refrigeration.
French toast is not only good
way to use up stale bread, but
very appetizing addition to break
fast, lunch, or supper. 1t can be
used in place of potatoes, rice, or
other starchy food for dinner, or as
a main dish with sirup for lunch.
Allow 1-2 to ga cup of milk to two
eggs, and salt lightly. Beat the
mixture, dip the slices of bread into
it, and fry in butter or well-season-
ed fat in a heavy smooth skillet.
Use moderate heat and let the toast
become golden brown before turn
ing.
A tasty way to cook string-beans
is to shred them finely, and give
them a short, quick cooking in
comparatively small amount OF
lightly salted water. Remove the
tips, ends, and strings, and cut the
beans lengthwise into long, thin
shreds, with a pair of scissors. II
the beans are young they will cook
tender in from Is to 20 minutes.
They will keep their good green
color and have delicate fresh
flavor, If cooked quickly and for
very short time. Season with melt
ed butter and more salt if neces-
sary.
The parents job in training a
child in good habits is only half
done when well begun. New prob
lens may develop at any time.
Playmates who are allowed to pick
and choose what they will eat at
home may have a detrimental infu-
ence. There are timos when the
best of children have f1nicky appe-
tites. The mother must try to have
all food attractive in appearance,
odor, and flavor, to tempt the appe-
tite, and use judgment in handling
the child at table. Quietly expect
ing the food that is set before him
to be eaten goes long way toward
accomplishing that end.
