MODERN MENUS
BY MRS. GAYNoR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

You don't need 6 college educa- ton to cook Harvard beets, nor must you speak with . southern accent to enjoy turnip greens. Carrots may or may not make your eyes bright, but they most certainly do keep down the win. ter vegetable bill and run up the family'S health. Rutabagas, pars- nips and salsify belong also in this estimable group of vegetables that grow under the ground and take pride in that obscure fact. .
 All of these low cost and high value vegetables should be con. sidered Rs entrants for the best salad contest. As they contain starches and sugars and some im- portant vitamitas, they add greatly to the salad bowl. Serve them raw, grated over the bowl, mix with French dressing and toss Such Q salad bowl with every dinner will supply your family with protective foods in the most pleasant manner ever thought of. Try 1t. Get yourself e set of these very inexpensive graters, and be- gin the habit of serving winter vegetables raw in your salad.
 Cooking Parsnlps
 There are tricks to oil trades, including the cooking of winter vegetables. Scrub parsnips, then cook In lightly salted boiling Was ter until tender. Drain, scrape off the skins, slit lengthwise and TO. move stringy cores. Place halves in baking dish, cover with cheese sauce, dust with bread crumbs and bake until brown. To keep sale sify from turning dark, cut into small pieces after washing and scraping and drop into cold water. Boil in uncovered pan In very little unsalted water. Beets are quite emotional: their hearts bleed easily over any careless treatment. Leave on the long tap root and ct least two inches of the green tops. This pleases them and prevents them from "bleed. ing" as they boil. Carrots, God bless them for their color, their flavor and carotene which is changed into Vitamin A in the liver, really deserve to be eaten raw. Try giving children nicely cut strips of raw carrot to eat when they want to. The sweet- ness and flavor will soon teach those growing youngsters the car. rot habit.
 Turnips greens call for hoeeake, one of the better old southern customs. You can make Q meal of sausage, turnip greens and hoe- cake.
 iIoecake Is nothing more com. plicated than salted cornmeal scalded with boiling water to
 make it moist, not wet. Stand this scalded meal for an hour. To make c hoecake, put teaspoons of this mixture on c hot greased griddie and smooth 1t out to make cakes about i-2 inch thick. Let it cook until one side Is brown and then turn over and repeat the browning business. And that's all there is to the inuch-discussed hoecake. Incidentally, hoecake Is good with roast beef gravy..-

."WE, THE WOMEN"
Vices HaUe Strange Ways Of "HOn0ring" Their HnSbandS

one wife who looks as smart and carefully groomed around the house when she is alone with her hus- band with her hair rolled up on curlers, and wear. ing shoes run down at the heels, and hose full Of runs. If a knock should sound on the door, she would leave the living room in hurry-for fear a friend might see her as she looks day after day to her husband.
 Then there is the wife who talks about tne "n,oht-have -beens" in her life and wonders aloud if she might not have been better off if she had married Sid or Joe Both are very successful oi course Or she wouldn't wonder out loud.
 And VOL probably know career woman who lets you see that her position is more important than her husbands. And who makes her husband realize It. too . .
 If you know any of those wives and Of course you do you will have to admit that there IS some truth in what Miss Agnes Sharp. assistant director of the Psychatrc Institute of Chicago's Municipal Court said the other day. She accused American women of despising their husbands. And deSpiss means ito look on with contempt she mas gooo bit of evidence on her side.

comes tither an irresistible demand for proper nutriment or break. down--illness from rnalnutrltion.
 This hammer and tongs man further complained that the vita mins-mineral suggested to sup- plement the restricted diet began to be unpalatable after the second week. In that circumstance there are other forms in which fair ra- ton of vitamlns and minerals may be taken daily to supplement any restricted diet--and such vitamiils, at least, should always be taken by any on whose diet Is being re- stricted for any purpose. There IS no advantage to be gained in any case from restricting the supply of vitamins. Heaven knows few people get enough vitamins to maintain optlmal health anyway.
 Any adult who is putting on ex- cess weight can best control the weight by adopting these simple principles or even one or two Of them, and retaining them per- mhH0HVlyi . ..
 1. Eat one less slice of bread, toast or equivalent amount of car- bohydrate food daily than you have been accustomed to eat.
 2. Push away from table just be- fore the dessert arrives. Dessert IS invariably just 50 much superfiuous food on top of c square meal ..
 3. Use Q quarter grain or half grain saccharln tablet instead of Q teaspoonful of sugar for sweeten- ing tea or coffee, if you customarily use sugar. Up to i've grains of saccharin daily is perfectly harm. less for anybody.
 ECulpsuraI Surgery

 Dorothy Gish's living room in New York was not an especially friendly one when the decorator went te work on 1t. The walls were gaun' and dark; the windows enormous
 and the many architectural prob. lems involved might have filled ( more timorous soul with despair But this decorator capitalized tho rooms great high windows :, used them as dramatic background for Miss Qish's fine old French fur. niture in walnut of Q particularly rich, mellow tone.
 An interesting feature of the scheme was the draping of the win dows, for which all dress silks were used. Those sweeping overcurtains are of ivory dress satin, lined with pale coral crepe dc chine; glass cur. tains are of full straight lengths oi ivory crepe de chine. All of which makes 8 deliciously soft background for the brown of the walnut and the deeper coral velvet used for seats of chairs.

HAMMER AND TONGS VERSUS CCIENCE

A man who followed the reduce ton regimen given in the booklet Design for Dwindling" weighed l05 pounds when he went on the regimen and three weeks later he weinhed 180 pounds. Then he gave up because he began to have head aches and dizziness, he says. Now he complains because he gained six pounds in three weeks after he abandoned the reduction regimen and resumed his habitual overeat- ing.
 In the first place the man ig- nored the advice given in the book let. There expressly caution against too rapid reduction, and explain that sane, moderate re- duction regimen is one that brings about the loss of not more than two or three pounds . week, or say six to eight pounds in Q month. Yet there the man went at 1t ham, mer and tongs, reducing at the rate of five pounds 8 week. I believe that rate of reduction would make ale most anybody feel i'll.
 Seldom does any one accumulate excess weight or superfiuous flesh at an average rate of more than Q pound a week, indeed the average rate of gain Is nearer pound a month. In other words the over- weight individual generally accu- muiates his surplus of twenty to thirty pounds over 6 period of two or more years.
 Why are people who acquire over- weight 50 leiSurely in such 6 tear- ing hurry to get rid of 1t when they finally recognize their sad plightp For the same raeson, l imagine, that makes other people subject themselves to an astonishing amount of discomfort under various strenuous treatments which, they imagine, will "boil those poiSonl out" of the system.
 It requires grim determination tc stick for even three weeks oh s diet so severe that 1t reduces at the rate of five pounds week. Greater determination than the average in. diyidual has. Sooner or later, where such Q strenuous diet is followed

 Regardless of the size of her house and no matter how many demands her husband and children make on her time, every homemaker ought to try to find time to:
 Brush her hair for two minutes every night before going to bed.
 Shampoo once week. She can do it in the morning right after the children leave for school, coax waves into place, then wrap a piece oi clean cotton gauge lightly around head, letting hair dry while she goes about the mornings tasks:
 Use hand lotion after each dish- washing session. Incidentally, if you rub lotion into hands and dusting, the accumulated dirt on palms and flngertips will wash away more easily when the work IS done. Also, before beginning any unusually dirty task, it's Q good idea to dig fingernails into a cake of soap. Afterward, remove soap and dust with Q little nall brush)
 Take a warm bath every day. (The busiest women attend to this little detail late in the afternoon generally just before supper has to be prepared)
 Treat face and throat to a pickup facial one night 6 week. (Simply spend one full hour cleansing skin carefully, applying a mask, either homemade or @ commercially pre- pared one, letting 1t dry, smoothing on nourishing cream, then patting 1t in.)
 Use regularly one preparation to cure whatever special skin defect She happens to have. (If her skin is dry, a night cream will help. II it's excessively oily, some Kind oI mild astringent is in order.)

'~BAR TB~.''''''''''l-
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

What we need in every big city are centers of information where the general public may go and inc quire where to find anything from the location of branch libraries to stores for secondhand shoes.
 get letters after letters from mothers wanting to know where they may find certain kind of school. Where to take an abnora nal child who defles home treat- ment. Where there is Q klndergar- ten, or a nursery school, or aclinic.
 There are such agencies, as we know, but most of them mean noth- ing to the uninformed. Besides, headquarters are often lost in Q lmrze of elevators, room numbers and card indexes.
 Railroads have the right idea. Right in the middle of things there is the information booth, where grandma may go and inquire If the bus meets the night train at Smiths crossing at three a. Ila., or child may go up to lisp, I'm lost, Mister; where had I better go?" He, the encyclopedia behind the marble counter, may refer the latter to the Travler's Aid, or call the policeman. But he will do some thing. Run With Wasted Funds A few clerks could run such Q dispensing agency, and all they would need to know is their own city. Their chief job would be putt tinng people on the track of what, they are after.
 Cities 90 in for SO much in the way of so-called social service, most if 1t splendid but much of 1t mean. ingless, that Q part of this revenue could be diverted into Q direct and lively service that would be Q boon to most citizens. It would not oper- ate as Q relief station or advertise ing agency, or listen to Jim Jones' complaints about finding Q better job, but instead would stick to It's knitting and tell where to find the place sought. To save time, small printed slips with the I1lost-called. for lists could be handed out.
 There are people living in one block who never knew that on art school for children, payment neg- ligible, was thriving right under their noses half c block away, and Sarah so apt ct drawing, too.
 Vague About Names
 The mother knows vaguely that there are such places, but she can't find the name In the telephone book, because she doesn't know the name. Or that fine day nursery c few blocks away, would have solved the problem or her getting the much.needed job. :,
 Dancing is popular and I get letter after letter from mothers in large cities that know have either | free or very reasonable schools for talented youngsters. I cannot sup-' ply addresses as Q distance, ilatur-, ally and I always feel indignant at someone or something that makes information so hard to find. Chambers of commerce do Q good work, and supply much infor- nation about civic affairs. Why cannot we have in each city, some such organization, to i'll more hu- man reedsP People want to know, that Is all. A few alert clerks in modest quarters on street levels, quarters certainly placed and pla. carded in large letters, could man. age it easily. I vote for more and better city information centers.
