AItimeter to Determine
Ground Level Sought

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 21 UNSo
Research which may develop an
acoustic altimeter" for recording
accurate distances from an air
ship to the sarth's surface has
been undertaken by Leo p. De
lasso, Of the physics department
of the University Of California,
officials Of the Goodyear Zeppe-
lin Corporation have revealed
here.
Development Of such an alti.
meter, 1t is pointed out, Is prob
ably one of the greater problems
facing airship and airplane opera
tions today. For absolute safety
In flying, an altimeter is de-
manded that wilr actually indi-
cate the altitude Of o flying ma
chine with relation to the ground
over which it is flying and not,
as is now the case, indicating its
altitude with relation to the sea
level.

Gay BibOlets for Break
fast Room

If you've a little breakfast nook
In your home, then you simply
must have o piece Of gay and
amusing pottery to tuck In the
arched alcove which serves to
hold the breakfast set, or to
stand on top of the dish cabinet
where 1t may flaunt its gay
colors into the dim corners Of
the kitchenette.
The cleverest things are the
sturdy elephants, dogs, cats and
the modernistic animals that
come in high colors-orange yek-
low, red, green. purple and what
not. An iron tree with branches
to hold colored flower pots filled
with ivy is also an effective orna-
ment in the kitchen or dining
alcove.
A colored wooden rack
mounted near the sink or work
table to hold kitchen cutlery with
handles in like color furnishes
q very nice note-and Is much
more convenient than the old
time kitchen cutlery drawer that
must be opened and shut count
less times during the day.

$40 a Week for Two

Feeding two people on $40 o
week savors slightly Of o stunt.
But this generous allowance pro
vides mora leeway in planning
satisfying meals and allows for
regular entertaining also.
An adequate sum for two per
sons which, while 1t still requires
careful marketing and thoughtful
planning, will allow a little lee
way, is $40 a week. TO administer
that amount so that it will cover
everything in the food line means
that the weeks menus should be
planned ahead. The supplies can
be purchased to the best advan-
tage and the meals interlocked
to save food and fuel, not to men
ton time. Following the food mar
ket news in the daily papers keeps
the food purchaser In touch with
bargains in vegetables and fruits.
II there is a difficulty in the pre-
scribed budget, keep accounts,
dividing the food expenses into
the following heads: !, fruits; z,
dairy products: 3, meats, fish and
eggs; 4, cereals, bread, pastry; 5,
sugar, fats, spices, coffee, etc.; 6.

The Modern Way of
Roasting Mr.. Turkey

Thanksgiving, the national
home holiday, celebrated in the
lowly as well as the most oSten-
tatious homes, would give its
guests less cause for thanks if
Turkey, Lord Of the Feast, were
not roasted to Juicy perfection.
But the chow long" ''how hot"
and chow often" Of cooking our
national meat dish, can be easily
learned and more easily done II
you have q Smoothtop or any
gas stove In your kitchen.
Assuming that the butcher has
done his share In cleaning, re-
moving pin-feathers and trusting
the drumstickS-the next move is
yours. Fill his crop and still
more elastic stomach with what
ever stuffing you prefer. Mean
time the all important gas oven
should be turned on, SO that 1t
may be preheated and reach a
temperature Of 500 r. This high
temperature Is needed to rapidly
"sear" the flesh SO as to encase
the Juices in a too th o m e
"crackle." No matter what kind

credits bottom should be well
dredged with flour-this will help
hold the juices and make q richer
gravy. Then q rack should be
used In the pan, SO as to lift the
bird away from the extreme heat
beneath, and to make both bast-

itself should be well rubbed with
q mixture of butter and flour.
and lightly busted with salt and
pepper. Several strips Of thinly
Sliced salt pork or bacon should
be stretched across the bird as
it lies on its side. For the great
est mistake Is to cook the bird
with it's breast up. This manner
of placing always makes the
breast dry and overly brown.
