A good many people have All idea
that the best place for meat in the re-
frigerator is in the compartment with
the ice. They also have notion that
the way to keep meat or poultry as
1t comes from the market is to leave
1t wrapped up in the paper bag in
which it was delivered, and put it
right on top Of the ice. Neither of
these practices is desirable.

Use of Electricity
on the Farm

1t is generally recognized, both
among rural communities and by cleo
trical leaders, that no economic ques-
ton today has more significance for
all concerned and for the nation at
large than the proposition of making
electricity available economically for
the American farmer. The arrival Of
the time when this will be accom-
plished is likely to be fastened by pro-
viding electrical training for young
men with farming knowledge and SYM
pathies.

to warn them.

And here's the game we've
been wanting ever since we took
a cruise some years ago! Derby
Day is that game so popular on
shipboard, and you'll see it
sketched below. Gayly painted
horses leap ahead a space each
time their number shows up on
the dice! And it takes doubles
for the hurdles-and doubles
to win. But there are other
races, too. From two to six peo"
pie can play and it's the best
means of hilarious, tense enjoy
ment that we know of and
worth every bit of $500, which
is about what it costs. The
board, even longer than is
shown, folds up compactly into
a box with the horses and dice.

Three Against An Army
Three Musketeers," the last
board game on the right, is quite
ingenious, and requires a lot Of
skill. One player uses the Three
Musketeers," while the opponent
commands a battalion Of Kings
soldiers. The latter are more
limited in their moves than the
former, and this equalizes their
strength. With a velour finish

around $4-other sets can be

are dice which are tossed in

Not long ago in this column
published a question sent in
by a teacher in a high school.
It appears that the director of
athletics in the high school
had put the ban on bananas
and had forbidden candidates
fer the football team and the
track team to eat bananas on
the ground that they were un-
healthy and did not have the
proper food elements. My
opinion, as expressed at that
time, was that there we're no
grounds for the opinion ex-
presse by the director OF
athletics.
Confirmation of this has
come from an investigation OF
the opinion of various reserach
workers. On nearly all points
bananas have been found to be
a healthy food
Great Food Value
First, as regards food value,
the banana contains all the
principal elements necessary
for a balanced diet. The fat
and the protein are rather low
and, of course, for this reason
bananas cannot be considered
as a complete food, but taken
with milk you have on all
points a nearly perfect balance
of the food elements. Bananas
used as a vegetable in comolna-
ton with meat also make up a
good ration.
The cost of bananas makes
them an attractive article OF
diet. You certainly get as

dull time of it. Not at all!
They're playing games-wonder-
full games-as thrilling as

No Bridge Party Worries
Board games-such as the
three we've illustrated above,
are grand ways of entertaining
friends. AS long as these are
in the house, hostesses needn't
worry about inviting guests in
numbers divisible by four, for

Club Parcheesi." Remember
what excitement parcheesi
caused in childhood days?
From two to four may par
ticipate as in the old game.
But this is a more complicated
form - with penalties and
bonuses. A very strong point
in the game is to keep your
man from going home and be-
coming "duplus. For when
this occurs all penalties are
doubled (similar to Vulnerable"
in contract bridge).
AS you notice, this new game
is played with little nobby
pawns or men, instead of discs.
There are in each set eight
dice, four cups, a tally and a
scoring board or pad. The one
we've illustrated costs about So
but the prices range from
about $3.50 up to $25 according
to quality.
Jump, Canter and Charge
It took the inventor 20 years

For Decorative Purposes Only
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A friend of mine and mysen
have been arguing a long time
as to eating lamb chops pork
chops, leg of chicken. and SO
forth. The last time ne
visited he brought this picture
explaining that the fancy
paper at the end Of the chop
can be purchased and enables
you to pick the chop up IN
your fingers. I claim that no
meat can be picked up with
your fingers and eaten IN
polite company.
If I am wrong I shall gladly
take my medicine, and if he
is wrong, I will show him your
answer.
Goody! you're right, dis
tinctly right, and the medicine"
is for him. The little paper
collars that one sees some
times on the ends Of chops are
for decorative purposes. and
also to keep the very tip OF
the chop from becoming black
as the chop is being broiled.
These paper collars have
nothing to do with making
convenient the eating of the
chop in the fingers. We
should never, unless it is really
necessary, take in our fingers
any kind Of food that is moist,
any kind of food that >will
make our fingers messy.

much for your money in food
value and vitamins out OF
bananas as out of nearly any
other vegetable.
Besides having high fuel
value and good vitamin content,
bananas have a considerable
amount of roughage and also
contain calcium. In spite OF
all this they are easily digest
ible and hospital dietitianS
find them very agreeable to
convalescent patients.
Are Easily Digesti5le
In fact, a writer in the
magazine called The Modern
Hospital strongly recommends
them for this simple reason,
i. e., that they are adaptable
to the weak digestion of sick
people.
Lastly, for most people they
are agreeable and appetizing.
DR.. William H. Eddy. profeS-
sor of physiological chemistry
at Columbia University, New
York, wrote an arti,le on
Bananas in the Diet" N 1927,
in which he stressed This fea-
ture. He emphasized the fact
that the best food in the world
might not be useful because it
was not agreeable to many
people to eat. A universal food
must have a universal appeal
to the appetite and palate OF
all kinds of people, and this
is certainly true Of bananas.

Bridge
BY E. V. Shepard

On its face an lnformatory
double shows strength in three
suits; it may or may not be
that the doubler holds consider
able strength in the suit
doubled; in any event the
doubler's partner assumes that
strength is held in the three
unbid suits, and answers &C.
cordingly. Probably the most
desired response is a major suit
bid, and the least wanted reply
to the double is no-trumpS. Lack
of a biddable suit sometimes
obligates a no-trump response
upon two stops to the adverse
suit plus average side cards, or
even upon a single stop to that
suit in case better than average
side cards are held.
OF course the doubler'S part
ner should let the double stand
upon great strength, lacking a
sound suit declaration. II not
certain to defeat the bid
doubled, in case no biddable
suit is held, the doubler's part
ner must make his best bid.
In some circles a response of
1-No Trump is made to show
utter weakness but I prefer my
partner to bid even a three
card suit to bidding 1-No
Trump unless he holds cards
upon which he is willing to
play that declaration. I dislike
conventions that leave a part
ner in doubt as to what the
responder holds. In my vo-
cabulary, a reply Of 1-No Trump
says: Partner. have no
sound suit declaration; I have
at least one stop to the doubled
suit and some side strength.

Hig Pay Advocates Praised

The executive council commends
very highly those employers and own
ers of industry who have subscribed
to the high wage philosophy enunci-
ated by the American Federation of
Labor and who, during this depres-
sion, have steadfastly discharged
their obligation and kept the promise
made to the president of the United
States to maintain the wage struc-
ture.
On the other hand, the council con-
demns, in most vigorous way, the
action of these employers who have
taken advantage of human distress
and human suffering to impose and
force wage reductions in spite of the
protest of the workers involved as
well as those who represent them.
1t is the unfiinching purpose of the
American Federation of Labor to
stand resolutely against reductions in
wages. We are sure of our position
We are confident that in assuming
this attitude we are contributing to-
ward the highest and best interests
of all the people, and through such
action we are serving as best we can
to bring about a restoration of nor
NAL conditions at the earliest possible
moment.
