WHAT'S THE ANSWER

Eany have asked, and not with out some reason, the following quas stion:
 why, if one is charged for book of meal tickets, is he not entitled to credit for the unused portion at the end of the month7 Or, if not eivon credit, allowed to use the book until such date as it becomes emp ty."
 There are many who don't eat breakfast, end others who like to 'sleep in on Sunday, get somethin they especially like at the res- taurant, or accept invi tations to dinner wi tn some colonist family. Why should they have to pay for some thing they didn't get?
 If it is case of: Well, it was there for you, if you didn't eat it that's not our fault". then why the book?

Air Education Plan.

On the eve of the opening Of the
national conference called for We'd
nesday by the Federal Communications
Commission to consider plans for
greater cooperation among broad
casting stations and educational, re-
ligious and non-profit groups in pres
entation of programs, word became
current that one Of the organizations
will propose formation of a Govern
ment-owned network to carry on this
work.
The National Committee on Edu-
cation by Radio, of which Joy Elmer
Morgan of the National Education
Association is head, is known to have
drafted plan for such a Govern
ment system, to be supported by
taxes on radio sets or on commercial
broadcasting stations. The plan was
considered last March at meeting OF
the Morgan committee and is under
stood to have won tacit Endorsement.
The hearings will be held before
the broadcast division of the F. c. c.
and are in accordance with the re-
port submitted to Congress last Janu-
ary, at which time the F. c. c. de-
clared it would make such a move
in an effort to solve the knotty edu-
cational broadcasting issue. Last Fall
the F. C. C. held exhaustive hear
ings on this very issue and heard
variety of plans for its solution. It
finally concluded, in reporting to Con-
gress, that there should be no up
heaval in radio, and that educa-
tional and other institutions should
not be accorded additional facilities,
to be taken away from existing sta
tionS.
Instead the F. c. C. said the solu-
ton would be to take steps to bring
about greater cooperation and have
the contending groups settle their
differences around a conference ia
ble." Thus, presumably. the hearings
to begin next week will be confined
to discussion Of ways and means Of
utilizing existing facilities to greatest
advantage in educational and cul-
tural broadcasting, rather than in
considering plans for any widespread
redistribution Of facilities.

Distaining the use OF the term

have hung out the sign to do busi-

group chain programs, but under dif-

and hair lovely.
 You should use toothbrush twice a day, of course, and you ought 10 learn how to do it cor rectly. Scrubbing crosswise is all wrong as this method prevents the bristles from getting into cracks and crevices where food col lects. Also, it's harmful to the gums. Brush either up and down or with rotary motions and keep on brushing for at least five min- tltes. Select your dentifrice for it's efficacy and not merely because you like the taste of 1t. However, it's quite possible to find one that actually cleans and at the same time leaves no unpleasant taste in your mouth.
 rectly above the first section of teeth to be brushed, make rapid, downward strokes, pressing gently so the bristles get in between the teeth. When you have finished, brush the. outside of the lower ones with Upward strokes, then re- peat on the7 inside of uppers and lowers. Gums need to be massaged gently with the brush, but you must be careful not to push them up- ward of downward away from the teeth.
 Have real faith in your dentist. If he thinks you should visit him oftener than twice a year. by all means do it. If he prescribes a special mouthwash to hadren your gums, be sure to use it regularly.
 Don't use your teeth to crack nuts and hard candy. On the other hand, see that your diet contains some hard, chevy food that makes them do a little work.

\ SISTER MARYS A KITCHEN
season Tish During cooking

Season Fish During CO0klnB If you cook the fish yourself you can enhance the flavor by careful seasoning during the cooking. The chef of Rockefeller Center's Rainbow Room, Fred Mahlke, advises cooking shrimp for salad in salt water to which lemon juice and parsley roots have been added.
 If you cook veal or chicken specially for salad, add lemon juice to these meats, too. It will make the fiefish tender, white and firm. If you plan to use celery as a salad material, don't use it for seasoning. Otherwise. add celery leaves while cooking.
 A tart fruit dessert is best after fish salad-perhaps cantaloupe stuffed with a variety of fresh acid fruits, each thoroughly chill- ed before dicing. Or try fruit shortcake or upside-down cake made with fresh fruits if you pre- fer a hot, hearty dessert.
 Shrimp Salad
 Two cups cooked and cleaned shrimp, hard cooked eggs, tablespoon capers, olives for gar nishing, minced chervil, mayon- naise, cup shredded celery hearts of lettuce.
 Save a few whole shrimp for garnishing. Line a salad bowl with lettuce and fill with shrimp and celery. Cove with rnayon- naise and garnish with hard cooked eggs cut in quarters, ca pers, slices of olives and minced chervil and whole shrimp.
 An excellent and very inex- pensive salad is made with salmon in much the same way. In- stead of quartering the hard cooked eggs, separate yolks from whites. Cut whites in strips and force the egg yolks through a ricer or strainer. Sprinkle salmon we'll with lemon juice before com bining with celery.
 Provide One Hot Dish
 Have one hot dish, and take 1t off the stove or out of the oven just as you are ready to start. Wrap it in many thicknesses of newspaper and tie it securely so the lid can't slip even at an angle. The paper keeps the heat in the dish and the food will be piping hot when opened.
 Casserole of pork chops and potatoes is a fine picnic dish. The chops are easy to serve and the prolonged cooking makes them so tender that they break easily with a fork. Aside from this the com bination develops a delicious fla vor. About ten minutes before the mixture is done, sprinkle minced parsley over the top and then don't remove the cover again until serving time. The steam forms slight seal which con- serves all the flavor and heat.
 With this, take tomatoes which have been scalded and chilled but not peeled. It only takes a sec ond to peel them and they carry and keep better with their skins on.
 Sandwiches, fruit and cookies or cup cakes and milk for the children and iced tea for adults finish this meal.

 SchiaparelH shows long capes, patterned after the italian cloaks, in crinkled taffeta. They are worn in bright shades over darker, dull Ter gowns. In contrast is the light tulie cape from the house of Jenny. This is worn over q print ed evening gown with bright flow CTS on a black background. The al veil, cap and all.
 Word comes from Vichy, the popular resort, that recent per- formance of Princes Czardas' brought out all descriptions of smart new capes. One in midnight blue chiffon, shirred very full. came just to the waist. It was worn over a white mousseline frock printed in blue flowers. An other of heavy. stiff shirred rose taffeta, with quilted collar and big bow tie, was worn over a gown of plain rose crepe.
 Hip-length capes of sequins are considered very smart. Kay Francis wore one over a white evening gown to the opera in London when Grace Moore sang Mimi. The opera singer and movie star wears capes herself. She or- dered one in black velvet from the Paris house of Molynenx before going to England to make her de- but on the London operatic stage.
