REFRIGERATION
IMPROVED BY
NEW WDEVICES
BY JEAN GREEN

The new 1885 refrigerator has
taken up the slogan of time saw
ing and convenience with gusto.
Many little things that contribute
happiness to the life Of the busy
housewife are included in the new
models.
For many years, the trick of
keeping bottles of water next to
the cooling units has been used.
Now for use in households during
hot summer days certain types of
refrigeratorS have water coolers
with neat chromium spigots so
that it is a simple matter to fill
glasses for hot, tired children. The
coolers hold a sufficient supply to
be practical.
Another problem that has been
solved is how to get the trays from
the freezing compartment. In the
past they have had maddening
way of sticking tight to the walls
OF the compartment. Tugging and
pulling resulted only in bruised
fingernailS, but those days are
over.
Levers Lift Trays
New models come with little
levers that lift the trays up be-
fore they are taken out. One
model has a gadget hooked under
the tray in such a way that it is
pried up. And as a safeguard so
that it will be at hand when
needed, hook for it is built into
the door of the refrigerator.
AS to finding things in the spa
ciouS new models, that is also
simple. One type even goes so
far as to have rotary shelf in
the center, in the form Of a semi
circle that swings out.
Then, for left-overs, glass re-
frigerator dishes come in various
sizeS-some for roasted ears Of
corn, others for cold desserts and
casserole dishes. This protects
them from evaporation but at the
same time keeps them in full view
so that a quick check-up is pos
Sible when the market order is
being compiled,
Vegetable bins and freSheners
have proved their worth and are
in various sizes. Since they are
placed in the bottom, they do not
reach the low temperature of the
rest Of the refrigerator and vege-
tables are protected from freezing.
Salad greens, washed and ready
to use, and crisp chilled vege-
tables make menu planning on
warm afternoons simple.
Shelves In Door
Models vary in their features.
Some have lights that automat-
ically turn on when the door is
opened, and if the refrigerator is
to be placed in a dark corner Of
the kitchen this becomes especially
desirable Another model has addi-
tional shelf space in the door.
The space for freezing ice cubes
and desserts and salads is large,
and several new ideas are used in
lifting out the ice cubes from the
trays. In some cases two levers
lift up the ice cubes. In other
cases. rubber compartments are
used that peel the cubes into the
proper container.
Progress seems to be the motif
Of new refrigeration. And can you
think of anything that has been
left out?
For the amateur and June bride,
1t brings new Sinplified summer
cookery. For the busy mother and
housewife, new freedom and say
ing Of time.

SAVEBY BUYING
IN QUANTITY

Veal outlets are expensive, as
most prices go. But the whole
leg can be bought at a compare
lively reasonable price per pound.
The butcher will divide it into
outlets, roast and stew meat, and
it can be stored easily in the cleo
trio refrigerator to be used over a
period of a week.
Similar economy can be praC.
ticed in buying of cream. The
average small family ordinarily
uses about a half-pint Of cream a
day, with delivery made in half
pint bottles.
But a quart costs far less than
four half-pints, and if it is stored
in an electric refrigerator it will
keep sweet for many days. Not
a very great saving here, one may
say, yet pennies count.
The Washington times., 1936-06-12

taste - cooling, appetizing, reViv-
ing to mood and body. Just to see
1t placed on the tables gives a
sense of GOODNESS. And you know
how important that is in making
summer meals attractive.
Condensed soups have proved
such popular and convenient aids
to busy home makers that they
are to oe found on cupboard
shelves everywhere. Now condensed
eonSomme is available which jellS
right in the can when chilled. So
jellied consomme can really be
served on every table with the ut
most Of ease and convenience.
This condensed conSomme is. OF
course, extra rich in amber-clear
beef broth. It makes the finest
aspic. Thus you have at your dis
posal, at al: times, a delicious meat
jelly which you find constantly
useful for your salads Of every
description.

Easy on Garlic

Rub a Glove of garlic once or
twice around the bowl when mix
ing a salad. But garlic must be
used sparingly. The flavor must
not be too strong.
The Washington times., 1936-06-12
Color Vital

Color is of the utmost i'm
portance in meal planning. A
colorful plate Of food is always
eaten with better appetite.

lie accounts, during the day, but
at night he's an astronomer---and
he recently completed what he
claims is the most powerful tele-
scope in the state outside Of an
observatory. 49,.
Manning took six months of
work to build the new instru-
ment. He did the work at a work
shop at home and in his spare
time.
The reflcctors on the telescope
alone took three months to COM
plete. Manning rubbed a class
disc until it was concave. The
disc, which gathers the light, was
rubbed with finer and finer emery
paper until an accuracy of one
millionth of an inch was reached.
Manning had to work the
glass in a cool dim place, because
atmospheric conditions would
cause it to expand or contract.

|Dahia Growing
| Said To Gain AS
| Dixie Industry
Elaborate Tests on Cultiva'
ton Held by Georgia
Experiment Station
BY THOMAS A. DOZIER

EXPERIMENT. Ca, Dec. "a.
| (UP)--The cultivation of dahlias
is a serious and growing industry
in the south.
II seems that there is more to
the growing Of dahlias than the
mere planting of a seed aid the
cutting of n bloom-and the eX-
tension department of the Univer-
sity system of Georgia is learning
all about the subject.
Tests have been concluded at
the Georgia Experiment station
here which demonstrate that
Georgia soil i especially adapted
to the growing Of certain types
of prize-winning dahlias.
These experiments also demon
strated many other things about
the growing Of the flower, accord
ing to II. L. Cochran, Of the ex-
pertinent stations department of
horticulture. s.
Questions about the time Of
planting, watering, pruning. fer,
tilizing, preparation Of soil, and
dozen other problems are an
swered in a report prepared by
Cochran and his associates on
the results of the tests.
Twenty-seven dahlia enthusi-
asts from nearly as many states
cooperated with the experiment
station in the tests. All contrib
uted either roots or plants.
Strange horticultural results
were produced by the expert
ments.
For instance, it was found that
a. prize-winning plant taken from
California did not grow we'll in
Georgia soil.
Likewise, Il poor scrubby plant
which received but little attention
and less glory in New York state
thrived and became a champion
| in its class when grown in Georgia
soil.
Agriculture department Off
Gals foresee possibilities of a new
industry for Georgia in the COM
mercial growing of dahlias.

Courts To Hear

American Bar Brings For.
ward Novel Suggestion

MINNEAPOLIS. (uP). = The
American Bar association has sug-

court to give aggravated citizens
the opportunity to test decisions
of administrative departments OF
the government.
The proposal was made in the
American Bar Association Journal

ization An article on the subject
was written by Col. o. r. Mcclure
Mcclure, chairman of the asso
cations committee on adminiStra
+ tive law, recommended the com'
to be, a Legislative court much the
same as the custom courts ant
the court of appeals and woulC
hear appeals from administrative
decisions on both the law and the

they are failing in doing so at the
expense of the citizen and the gov
eminent. The only salvation Is q
tribunal independent of admins

Closely allied with this situation
Mcclure said, is the complete in
ability of. the citizen to optaiI
