lunch situation-the city child who chooses his own restaurant or del- icatessen food? A little course in home education may be helpful. If the mother will explain that she is trying to give her family food for the day that will keep them well and happy and that she will need to know what is eaten for lunch in order to get right balance with the other meals, she can often gain the cooperation of the child. She can tactfully suggest that since she is having meat that night for the family dinner that a cottage cheese sandwich at noon or a fresh tomato sandwich would give good variety. She can guard against an overeat- ing of sweets by promising fav- orite pudding for dinner if the fresh fruit dessert will be eaten at noon. A frank little talk on the re- lation between a bottle of milk and good health for any luncher will help in the happy solution of all these school lunch problems.
 Even when lunch is served in the school building little home education is valuable. In the large cafeterias there is a choice of food and even though the dietician in charge advises and plans food wise- ly, the choice. depends upon the

BY BEATRICE HALL

Not all the improvements in our schools in the last few years have been in the educational system alone. Modern, efficient lunch rooms have been built to help chil- dren and mothers with the problem of a noon meal. But even with vast improvements there are still prob lem groups where many mothers will find their children placed. There is the country boy or girl who 5 carries cold lunch to the little red school house; the small town child who runs home for a hastily swallowed noon meal of meat and potatoes with the rest of the fam iIy: and the city child who is given money to buy his own lunch at cor ner delicateSsen. All these situa- tions represent definite problem in malnourishment or wrong feed- ing. X
 Fortunately these problems can have happy solutions. The lunch box carried to the little red school house can become a regular Treas ure Chest of degistible food. Sand wiches made of whole grain breads, liberally spread with butter, with vegetable or nut or cheese fillings;s crisp salads daintily packed in lit tie jars or cartons; pint bottles of milk; fresh fruit instead of too sweet desserts-these make the lunch box Treasure Chest of good ] health

fitting iron lid that comes with the pan. ......
 If you want to fry foods withr a crisp crust, however, never cover the pan with close lid. If you need cover, see that it is one of the perforated type, having as many holes as a colander. These lids keep the food from popping or spatetring, at the same time they allow the steam to escape and keep the crusty fried surface from going limpy or soggy.
 Some of the newer iron skillets are copper lined-a special feature that is favored by all hotel cooks. Many aluminium pans also have the copper Innings, which give the most even heat and the best cook ing surface of all metals.

Pleasing
 The Man
By CHLOE JANTsON

If you have tried out that former 1 suggestion about sherbets served with the main course as means 4 o& pleasing the man, this inexpen- J EiRe attention must have broght down more than one Compliment liDon your head. For the man is lever the boy where appetite is con- Cerned.
 In the average home the frozen dainty is down at the foot of the 1tleal-a thing to wait for until the very end. But enter the sherbet | with the meat course and this luscious fruit ice which he can nibble at along with the substan- tials turns the dinner into some thing special and steps up the en- tire menu
 There's reason for every good thing that goes into the we'll planned menu, and that reason isn't always confined to taste alone. The sweet bit included with the meat course is thre not only to please the palate, but to give a lift" to the digestive juices during the heavy part of the meal.
 2 Being keeper of the food budget, you are watching every opportunity that presents itself to gather juices for making sherberts. When can ming or preserving there is always more juice than is needed to fill jars containing fruit Be smiser with it. Save every drop for soft drinks and sherbets which are often more delicious for the blending of several flavors.
 ! If the cherry crop was good in . your vicinity, you must have put up quantities of cherries. The fruit you will use for pies, tartS and buildings but goodness knows what will become of all that juice if you don't use it for sherbets.
 A very delicious ice can be made with conned cherry juice, which is just tart and wild enough in flavor t, obe an ideal accompaniment for meat. For an automatic refrigera- , tor recipe, you may use on table spoon of gelatin dissolved in one- half cut of boiling water or hot cherry juice. Cool with two more cups of juice less two teaspoons of liquid which you have replaced by adding two teaspoons of lemon juice, and add enough more sugar to give the desired sweetness. When the mixture begins to thicken, beat it until light. Add a spech of salf and fold in the whites of two eggs besten until stiff. Turn into ice trays to harden. Serve with the main course at dinner time.
 Curant ice is another favorite with the meat course; so is wild plrm sherbet, and green gage ice fruit. Where there is automatic refrigeration = as there now is in most homes-not one of these ices adds much cost to the menu, for each is made with juices which miyht otherwise be thrown away.

busy mother realizes that it is time for them to come home for dinner. A late dinner means that the first school bell rings as Johnny still is at the table. What a frantic effort the hungry child makes to swallow his half-chewed meat; to wash down his food with gulps of water, to cram his dessert in rush. On top of that a breathless run to get in line just as the last bell rings no wonder Johnny always makes his lowest marks in history, the subject that comes first after lunch.

IRON SKILLET BEST FOR FRYING

Patrolman Cooke, Spurlin was in Gus

According to Spurlin, who was
driving truck. he approached the
scene of the wreck and stopped when
tagged, and then drove across a slack
cable stretched from a wrecker to
the wreck as he was told to do, pass
ing over the wire strand, only to have
spare tie rack on the rear of his
truck hook the cable, causing it to
break and flying against Cooke, in
juring his shoulder severely and Ia
cerating him about the head. Spurlin

To the southwark the presidential
ship passes hundreds of miles of in

Devils Island is one of its land

The jungle comes right down to the

PRONUNCIATION
Rio de Janeiro and the coast to the
southwark has more back country.
Rio de Janeiro means January
river"
Janeiro is pronounced as nearly as
it can be reproduced in English,
"Zhan-eye-ro,' with the accent on the
second syllable. Anyone who is at all
familiar with French will catch the
sound of the "J', as in "jardin'-
French for garden.
This isn't the Spanish sound of j.
In the United States the Spanish
sound is supposed to be the same as
H. Illustratively on the Pacific coast
where folk get their Spanish from
Mexico, they pronounce Juan as if it
were spelled Hwan. That may be good
Mexican Spanish, but it isn't the Eu-
ropean or South American kind. In
Spanish Spanish j has approximately
the guttered sound of "ch'' in German.
Thus Juan more nearly resembles
Kwan than Hwan.
PORTUGUESE SPOKEN
However, Rio de Janeiro, Brazils
capital, doesn't speak Spanish, but
Portuguese.
The Portuguese maintain that Span
ish is a Portuguese dialect.
The Spanish say the same thing
about Portuguese.
Somehow, the Argentine Republic
