Lamb Done Just
 Right Tis Way
Thermometer Takes All Guess.WOrk Out of
 Roasting

Do you ever wonder when dinner 1s ready to serve, if the roast lamb will be done just exactly as you would have it Most women do and this iS not at ell necessary nowa- days, because a new member has joined the household thermofne- ters. This is the meat tl1ermon1e- ter which will tell you every time when your roast is done. No more guessing, no more depending on the more or less inaccurate method of aisowing 50 many minutes per pound. So many factors enter in t0 make shis latter method not at all exact. If you do not have Q kitchen scale you won't know just how rnany pounds you have. Your market llip doesn't tell you what you want to kf1Ow, because, if there is any trinSni1g to do, the meat is weighed anu then trimmed. But with the meat thermometer, your worries on that score are over
 Simple to Use
 The meat thermometer is ex- tremely simple to use. It is inc serted fin the roast before 1t goes into the oven and 1t stays in the meat oil during the cooking period. When the mercury or spirit column rises to the point on the thern1or1- ter which indicates doneness for al1y particular kind of meat, the roast is removed from the oven. Aud you are secure in the krowl-

week, or next year.
 Tn placing the thermometer in the meat, care must be taken Co insert it 60 that the center of the bulb reaches the center of the lafg- est muscle and that it does not rest on bone or in fat. It is the tell1- perature at the center which teNs when the meat is done. How were these temperatures decided? In experimental laboratories, many thousands of legs of lamb, as well as roasts of beef, pork, and veal, have been roasted and, through these experiments, the proper i1- ternal temperatures have been de- tcrmined.
 Shows When Lamb is Done
 A roast of lamb will be done when the thermometer indicates 10O degrees ?. For those who prefer mediurn-done lamb, the roast may be removed when the thermometer reads l76 degrees F.
 There are different types of meat thermometers available One type has the degrees Of temperature er- BH6Vg0 OkA Ats SA4AOtkASA OJRS AkAo bLlC temperatures for the different kinds of meat indicated by lines on Q metal plate attached to the ther- nnometer.
 The thermometers are sturdily built and will last indefinitely with 8 little care. The thermometer should not be laid down on a cold table top or sink drain, of course. That kind of treatment is likely to prove disastrous to any piece of hot glassware. A metal skewer can be used to make an opening for the thermometer, 50 that there is no danger of breaking, when in- scrting the thermometer. One in- strument hes Q metal skewer et1- closed with 1t in Q neat box. When the thermometer is not in use, 1t should rapose in that box, and not be allowed to rattle around with the kitchen knives and forks.

Cider and doughnuts are
staging their annual return.
This pair of autumn favorites
win quick welcome and needs
no build-up to make them fea-
ture on the evening program.
Made in the smoKeless way with
modern equipment doughnuts are
no longer a chore to be avoided in
the small kitchen. The odds for
success are overwhelmingly in
your favor. They are quickly pre-
pared and may be made IN ad-
vance.
The proper equipment needed is
merely a deep kettle, a wire bas-
ket to fit inside the kettle, long
handled fork and thermometer.
The old-time recipes for dough-
nuts directed tina t the fat be
heated until it smoked, which kept
the less determined cooks from
making them. However, this OBJ
stacle has been removed. De-
liciously brown doughnuts can be
made in fat that never smokes.
Choose a fat with high smok-
ing point and have a thermometer
to regulate the temperature below
smoking point.
The perfect doughnut varies
with the taste of different indi-
viduals, but should have a thin.
crisp, well-browned crust and be of
even, fine grain.

LOVelOrn
Parents Rows

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous Authority on Problems
of LoDe and M1rridge)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my home is like a mad-hOuSe,
everybody against everybody else.
Mother and Dad quarrel cOntinu-
ally and call each other such vile
names that wouldn't repeat them.
/ used to go steady with a nice
fellow, but he quit after a few
doses of family life as it is lived
here.
Nov I'm going with another
nice fellow, but 1 tell him to pick
me up on the way from work, so
1 won't have to take him home.
II worry every day how any Of
us girls can possibly get married
with this free-for-aH going on be-
fore every man who calls. / do
not know what my present friend
thinks about my never inviting
him to the house.
In SPITE of all this, 1 love my
parents, but / can't keep on low
ing them when they act this way.
AS 1 am writing this letter, they
are fighting and calling each other
filthy names. We girls are all
smart enough, and have good jobs.
IF only one of us could get mar.

and 60 to live with her. But every
engagement is broken off as the re-
suit of the way our parents act.
don't know what to do"
FRYING PAN-TO-FIRE."
While I'm not in favor of break
ing up families, I do not see how
young girls can tolerate such a
home as you describe. particularly
as it will undoubtedly prevent
them from ever having homes of
their own.
It seems to me that a "fireside
chat" is in order. and that you
girls should say to your parents
that you propose-unleSs the
quarrelling and fighting stop-to
make a home of your own.
Before doing this, consult some
one for whose judgment you have
respect-your pastor, your former
school-teacher. or the mother of
some decent, self-respecting family
who understands the value of
peace as a family asset. Best
wishes.

SHE BELIEVED HIM

Dear Miss Fairfax:
when he was not employed, !
spent my money for gasoline and
whatever outings we had. / was
glad to help out beause we were
engaged, and 1 lived for the day
he would put the ring on my fin
ger.
But when he got a job he forgot
me. He spent his money having
a good time with his friends, and
when he finally remembered me,
he had very little left. If went
with him, 1 had to pay the way. I
lost confidence in him and began
to go out with two other boys, but
now he thinks should be punished
for that.
"He has suggested we see moth
ing of each other for a couple of
months, which he says will be as
hard on him as it is on me. Why
should he try to punish us both?
WONDERING"
Your letter is just one more illus
tyation that men do not appreciate
girls who do too much for them.
When he had money he spent it on
his friends and forgot about you.
Because you went out with other
young men, he now sits on the
judgment seat and suggests that
you do not see each other for a
couple of months.
In your place, I'd make the SEN
tence indefinite. I can't see how
you could be happy with anyone
who has proved himself so selfish.

Notes On Exhibit

VOU have probably read a
i good deal about the ex-
hibition of the arts and crafts
of Finland, which is going on
downtown now, and you may
have seen it. But in case you
haven't, here are a few of
the things that seem grand to
this department and seem well
worth writing about. First,
there's the glassware. The
smoky, thin pieces seem the
most unusual, and til e i r
shapes are original and well
worth looking at. Then there s
the pottery, some of it more
modern than you'd imagine,
all of it colored with great
artistry, some of it entirely
different from anything I've
ever seen. A tea set in smoke
gray, for instance. A soup
and luncheon set, you might
call it, which Immediately sug-
gests itself as the ideal thing
from which to serve gumbo,

know how to make. priced
low, too). Then there are the
knitted gloves and mittens in
the most heavenly patterns
and designs. And the hand
woven linens, which are odd
because Of coloring and pat
tern. The dancing dolls are
cunning, too, hanging by a
thread, and bobbing up and
down as two dancers. Dolls
are there to suit even the
most fastidious child. And if
you re inclined toward sports,
get your ski things there
skis, shoes, and all the other
paraphernalia, the names of
which I do not know. Be sure

do not want to buy anything.

She is one of the prettiest girls
in Hollywood, and her figure is so
perfect that everyone is anxious to
have her pose for all kinds of
things. She is five feet, two inches
tall, has brown eyes, chestnut hair,
tanned skin, and weighs SO
pounds. We must admit this is
rather an ideal figure, and that
her coloring is attractive.
She has some original ideas
about beauty that we think will
amuse you. Instead of going in
for the cool, calculating one, two
three Setting-up exercises, every
morning, she hops into the swim
ming pool and pretendS she is
swimming the channel.
When she does not care to go
in the pool, she drops down flat
on the floor and goes through the
swimming motions. Again she is
swimming the famous channel,
and if she stops before a certain
number of strokes, she'll drown.
Since swimming is numbered
tops in the figure-retaining exer-
cises, Airline never neglects this
one.
CYCLING EXERCISES
Another game is doing her
cycling exercises lying on her back
with her legs making circular mo-
tionS in the air. Now she is rid
ing in bicycle derby, and if she
stops before a planned number of
revolutions, she'll lose the race.
When she brushes her hair she
pretends to herself that if she
stops under a hundred strokes,
her hair will Immediately lose all
its sheen.
While putting on her makeup,
she mentally tells herself she is
tinting a photograph to enter a
contest.
The lipstick must go on with
out the slightest smudge. The
powder must be exactly the right
shade, whether or not she is
tanned, and then it must be
smooth and evenly blended as an
old master would put on flesh
tints on canvas.
Keeping fit and beautiful would
never become an irksome task if
it were done as the daShing Airline
does. She makes a little game Of
all her duties and has fun out
Of it.
Now and then a new word
creeps into popular usage that
cannot be found in dictionaries
because it is new. Such a word is
"purposive." It was introduced by
an English lecturer and philoso-
pher a few seasons back, and it
was seized upon by young enthu-
siasts to describe an attitude of
mind toward action, however
trivial.
Airline Judge is a fine example
of what magic the use of this
word might bring to anyone, for
everything she does is done with
the last ounce of intention and
purpose, ana WIN WnaL graCl1y-
