 KITCHEN
BY MARY E. DAGUE

BY MARY E. DAGUE
 Now that the oyster is back with us for another season, I have dusted off " Alice in Wonderland to enjoy again Lewis Carroll's de- lightful euiogy of oyster eating presented in the Walrus and the Carpenter verses.
 Unless you've refreshed your memory on the point, you prob ably won't recall that the verses include one of the simplest reci- pes for oyster cocktail:
 "A loaf of bread, the Walrus said,
 Is what we chiefly need; Pepper and vinegar besides
 Are very good indeed"
 The modern version of the recipe substitutes tabaseo for pepper and lemon juice for vinegarrand oys- ter crackers for the bread; but even the Walrus would have admitted an improvement.
 Of course, most of us aren't go- ing to gea our oysters as fresh as the Walrus, whose pied piper tac- tics lured the succulent bivalves from security of the oycter bed to his banquet table on the beach.

able method approved" by the Red Cross?
 In the name of humanity, science and plain common sense I make this plea to the powers that be in the American Red Cross. Why not quietly drop from your Rules for Resuscitation" this fatal error that has crept in, probably because it makes prettier pictures for publi- city purposes, just as you dropped you davised and pictured in your manual on first aid and resuscita- tion in 1928?
 QUESTIONS AN DANSWERS
 Winter Footwear
 What should a four year old child wear on her feet in winter, shoes or oxfords or what? Some mothers make their small daugh- ters wear shoes the year around because they say 1t will make their ankles smaller. Would shoes give more protection than oxfords if a child has a touch of bronchitis now and then? (Mrs B. L.)
 Answer--TIigh shoes are more practical footwear for lively young. sters in winter. So far as expo- sure is concerned, in the case of the child with bronchitis, that has nothing to do with the question Low shoes (oxfords, slippers) are quite all right for winter wear fol any one who does not have tt wade through snow.

 Blocker sat perfectly motionless. His body seemd relaxed. His atti- tude might have been mistaken for one of calm meditation upon some peaceful subject.
 The telephone rang. Blocker snapped the receiver from it's rest and heard Ethel West say, 'Mr GriH will see you at S:30 tonight If that is convenient"
 Quite" Blocker said. Now get me the editor of The Riverview Chronicle, in Riverview. Rush the call"
 He dropped the receiver back into position but held his hand on 1t and when. within a matter of a minute and half. the telephone rang, he snapped the receiver to his ear with quick motion.
 Hello" he said, lis this Backley of The Riverview Chronicle? This Is Dan Blocker of The Blade. We sent a man up to look. over your clippings on Frank B. Cathay. A chap named Morden. Did you give him any information?"
 Blocker listened for a short time, then nodded his head.
 Now he said, T want you to do something for me. There may be a big story in it. I want you to find out for me where Frank B. Cathay was yesterday afternoon. In the morning if possible, but in the afternoon for certain. I want to know every move he made. You can go to any necessary expense and send the bill to me. He's what .? Are you certain. .? Cheek that. will you? Find out about the doctor. See if you can approach the nurse. They probably have two or three. Get all the information you can and telephone it in just as quickly as you can. That may be a matter of major importance. I'm calling on you because I know where you stand on the city cleo tion. I'm iusr asking you to extend me . courtesy which we have ex- tended you in times past.
 You call me back just as soon as you find out. If I'm not here you can leave any information with Ethel West, my secretary"

 ''It's Morder all right" Kenney said grimly. "They can't tell the exact time of death yet, but 1t was some time yesterday afternoon, probably the early part of the af- ternoon.

try, you won't be able to eat them out of the shell, unless, as is wide- ly practiced, you obtain a supply of shells on which you place the shelled oysters of commerce for serving.
 Althoug long recognized as an easily digested source of pratein, their high water content makes them an expensive source of en- ergy. Today they are valued as sources of iodine and compare fa- vorably with eggs as sources ot iron. They are rich in vitamins B and D, good in vitamins A and c, and contain some vitamin G. These properties along with their easy digestibility make them an impor- tant food for growing children.
 Also they are a splendid food for a reducing diet, being low in calory content.
 Raw oysters are almost as easily digested as raw eggs and are an exceedingly nutritious food to serve to invalids. Steamed, baked and in a plain stew they offer appetizing variety for children and persons in ill health.
 Don't Cook Too Long
 The digestibility of cooked oys- ters edpends largely on the care used in cooking. They contain an albuminous substance that must be cooked at a low temperature. Ex- cessive heat and an over-long cook ing period will make them tough and leathery and consequently hard to digest.
 There are innumeable inviting ways of serving them that dequire little time and work.
 As cocktails they make popular beginnings for winter dinners.
 All the hot dishes are desirable for supper parties.
 Oyster salads are splendid for luncheon and evening refreshments when a hot dish is not wanted. They can be prepared in several ways. A combination with grape fruit sections and shredded green pepper served with French dress ing is delicious. Marinate the oys- ters and fruit separately in French dressing for an hour before serv- ing. Cooked oysters are combined with celery and mayonnaise in an- other good salad.

 'Kenney speaking" he said me- chanically, then nodded to Blocker. Its for you" he said.
 Blocker took the receiver, said Hello, this is Bleeker," and then nodded to Kenney.

It makes a good story for you at that end anyway. Huh yes, we'll run something on it down here. Telephone us a complete re- port. I presume there'll be quite a scandal in Riverview. All right, if you'll send us in the story we'll give it a good place. Get all the facts and telephone in as soon as you get them. Within an hour if possible. You can get us the facts and we'll put a rewrite man on it."
 He handed the telephone back to Kenney. Kenney replaced the re- ceiver, dropped the telephone into position on the desk, and raised his eyebrows at Blocker.
 What did you find out?" he asked.

Not long ago a girl said, when her mother asked her to clean up some refuse a snooping dog had overturned, "Oh, just couldn't" Her mother gave her a look, got a broom and dust pan, swept up the mess, herself, and righted the can.
 Another girl visiting her. aunt was asked to "piease clean the bird-cage."
 "oh. couldn't said she, mak- ing a wry face. T just couldn't" A bride was distressed because she had to let her cieaning-woman go. My windows and floors are terrible. What shall do?"
 Clean them yourself, I guess. do," spoke her neighbor.
 "Oh, I just couldn't" walled the bride. T can't put my hands in dirty water"
 All of which brings us to the subject of just how much of the unpleasant side of life children should take part in, If they are to grow up without obsessiof1s when needs must and necessity drives.
 Children Sometimes Abused
 As it happens, have seen so many families where the dirty work was left for the children, found it compulsory to warn par ents against 1t. No reason why chores and messes a mother won't look after herself should be heaped perpetually on little Cinderella or willing George.
 But there it is-grown girls and young men without stomach or fortitude to manage in crisis. Something wrong, I am sure.
 Everyday life has a squeamish side. We cannot live on the top of things always, just glossing over the surface. Some one has to pitch in. And how about the time that someone won't be there? What then? Who will take the dust pan for us and go to it?
 One time young man drove his golf ball into the muck of a dried stream. It was a small course, and there were few caddies.
 He refused to get 1t, although he could have knelt on the bank and reached in. He took out a new ball, counted the extra shot and went on with his game. Later I leased him about it. And he said: T never could get my hands dirty. It makes me sick. I'll work till drop at the store, but I can't use my hands that way"
 Others Loathe Fifth, Too
 Another young chap brought home 8 new pup. His mother has had to train it, care for it and clean up. / plained.
 And you?"
 "Yes-I loathe it, but some one has to do it."
 On the other hand a business man I know bought a farm, a stock farm, and went out to clean stalls. Said he, "I have a theory that the soul does better when we forget our hands and don't allow our stomachs to get in the way"
 That was years ago. have never forgotten it.
 Most people have to learn to take sordid things more casually. Every mother has to learn 1t cer- tainly. She has to say "I just can."
 I believe in nicety. It makes more pleasant subject at any time. But lately have run across so many people who can't and won't pitch in when there's mas ty job to do, it has set me vo thinking. When children are old enough, a bit of rough work now and then, I think, won't hurt them. I believe it is kinder. And fairer to other people, too.

Every little while one of my scouts sends in news picture of handsome life guards, gallant fire men or earnest Boy Scouts demon- strating artificial respiration by the wrong method. Here is one from Pittsburgh showing blind Boy Scouts committing the error to which I have called attention so many times. The error may not seem important to one who has never actually resuscitated a drowned person, and perhaps that is why the American Red Cross continues to approve" it. The err TOT is in the position of the victims head and arms.
 When Schaefer discovered and gave to the world the prone-pres- sure method of artificial respiration or resuscitation he published the specific description of the correct technic in Medico chirurgical Transactions, London, 1904, and also in Journal of the American Medical association, Chicago, 1908. He included with his description a picture which makes it perfectly clear what the position of the vic- tim's head and arms should be. Any one who cares to ascertain the facts about this may consult How els Textbook of Physiology" (W, B. Saunders Co) which quotes Schaefer's description and reprints | the picture. This is one of the leading authoritative works or physiology, and may be found 1T any public library.
 | Prof Yandel Henderson, recog
 nized authority on resuscitation, as
 sures me that the position of tht subject as prescribed by Schaefer viz, with both arms extended wei above the head and palms down the head turned toward one side places the thorax in the most fav- orable position for inspiration. That is obvious to any one with an ele- mentary knowledge of anatomy and physiology. No doubt Sir Edward Schaefer had the fact in mind when he prescribed this specific position for the subject.
 am not a physiologist, nor a physicist, just a plodding doctor. But have resuseitated a drowned child and so am qualified to have an opinion about the method. In my opinion the victim of submer- sion has better chance to recover when Schaefer's prone-pressure method of artificial respiration is applied than such a victim has when the first aid operator employs the incorrect method approved by the American Red Cross and a dog en other organizations interested in resuscitations. I believe that when the subjects head is lifted an inch or two off the ground or floor to rest on one of the subjects arms, in the way the American Red Cross approves, a trap is formed in the victims breathing passages. so that any water or thick frothy mu- GUS that may be in the breathing passages will not drain from the nose or mouth as it does when the proper position is used.
 At any rate, what sound objec- tion can Red Cross or other fn- structor or authority bring against my proposal that Schaefer's meth cd of prone-pressure resuscitatiou be adopted in place of the question:

Some Surprise Desserts
BY CHLOE JAMESON


 Have you ever tried a lemon shortcake, when pondering over what to serve as a surprise des- sert? It's an easy one to prepare, and as refreshing as it is deli cious.
 To the rind of 1 lemon and juice of 11a small lemons add l k cups of sugar, mix well and let stand for 2 hours; then add cup of heavy cream, whipped until stiff and fairly dry. Fold the cream in well, and use as filling for split squares and fresh sponge cake.
 Lemon Ice Box Cake
 Another good lemon dessert is this ice-box cake made with lady fingers and a lemon sauce: Cream together 1-4 cup butter and l cup powdered sugar, add l beaten egg yolk, the juice and grated rind of 1 lemon, mix we'll and fold in cup of whipped cream. Pour over 3 dozen lady fingers which have been split and arranged in a mold in form that will line sides and bottom, with broken pieces of the cake used to fill the center part. Set in the refrigerator until well chilled and blended. Slice and serve garnished with a few sliced peaches or berries; or serve plain, if desired.
 A Gingerbread Sandwich
 A good supper dessert you'd hardly think of for summer menus although it is excellent-is gin. gerbread squares filled with cream cheese. Use any good recipe for soft ginger bread and bake in two layers. Cream a package of cream cheese or use two, if required. add to each package of cheese tablespoon of chopped oceans ard l tablespoon chopped seedless rais- ins, pinch of salt and a teaspoon of cream or top milk. Mix well and spread between the layers of gin- gerbread. Cut in ribbons and serve like cake. Any fresh fruit, such as diced peaches or strawberries cut in quarters, or tiny cubes of fresh pineapple could be used instead of chcopped raiSins.
