For baking, the dry mealy varie-
ties of potato which break into
white flaky masses are best. This
includes the Idaho potato. For
creaming the new potatoes are
best. They are more waXy and
have a delicious flavor. For deep
fat frying, potatoes which have
been stored for a long time are not
so good as the sugar content is too
high.
The new potatoes coming in are
now at their best. There are
many ways to take best advantage
of their good qualities. They are
grand boiled and served with parS-
ley butter or Drowned in fat. They
can also be moistened with lemon
butter and then sprinkIed with
chopped parsley. The parsley adds
flavor to them and a delightful
Springlike appearance.
In preparing the potatoes for
cooking, scrape, don't peel but care
fully remove all eyes and discol-
ored spots. Put them in the kettle,
cover them well with water and
salt. Put the lid on the kettle
and bring to the boiling point.
Then cook slowly.
If they boil too fast, the outside
cooks too quickly and the center
remains hard. The time of cook
ing depends on the size of the
potato but will vary around 80
minutes.
In order to keep them moist
but fluffy, drain as soon as

COnValeSCence
Routine
BY DONNA GRACE

There is very little illness among
the members of our beauty family,
but during the changeable weather
we hear Of a few who suffer from
colds and even flu. We sympathize
with them when they must stay
in bed, especially when they are
quite sure they are able to be up
and out but are patiently obeying
the doctors orders for their re.
lease.
To keep oneself entertained we
would suggest a beauty soiree. You
will enjoy it and look better for
the effort.
If possible, begin with a warm
tub bath and plenty of pine oil or
crystals in the tub. Wear rubber
cap to keep the moisture out of
the hair and then after a luxurious
bath, use one of your best new
colognes for a brisk rub and follow
with a dusting of nice powder. and
pop into bed for few minutes
rest.
The nurse or member of the
family who has been bringing you
your tempting trays may be
cajoled into setting up the same
tray with all your creams, astrin-
gents, tissues and manicure outfit
as well as a light strip of muslin or
towel to protect your hair.
Begin by cleansing the face
with your cream and wipe it thor
oughly with the tissues. Then
stroke on the tissue cream and
make as thorough an operation
of it as your strength will permit
"a firm upward stroke for the
face and circular movements
about the mouth, lips and nose.
Remove the cream and sponge
the face and neck with little pads
of absorbent cotton squeezed out
of the iced aStringent.
This will be enough for the
first days face treatment. Then
begin with the nails and file them
all a nice smooth oval shape and
finish the manicure according to
my method. It would be a nice
time for hand massage, too, and
to practice putting on the polish.
You will find some interesting
beauty treatment every day to
Wnlle away your time and make
the days in bed real pleasure.
Dear Donna Grace: Will YOU

We suspected a contract of some
jort to be the Senegambian in the
woodpile all along. Still the idea
was original.
Not long ago one of the state
universities - Florida if memory
serves me - decided to have a
course in Humor, wisely realizing
that humor not only keeps down
divorce statistics, but might save
a cockeyed world as well.
Harold Hulen of Excelsior
Springs, Missouri, doubtless read
about the new university course,
before he chained himself to the
radiator in his girls apartment.
LOVE STRIKE
If the first Sit-down lovelorn
strike creates a host of imitators,
think of the horrible inconveni-
ence! Imagine the girl weighing
the situation when sweeping day
came around.
Smoothly she would approach the
chained Romeo and say: Harold
will you please get up while we
run the vacuum cleaner and dust
back of the radio?"
And Harold, rattling his chains,
may become such an alfred nui-
sance that the girl will decide to
marry him and have it over with.
Cynics have told us about marry
ing people to get rid Of them, but
never in the history Of romance
have they gone as far as the man
from Missouri and chained them
selves to a radiator.
News dispatches say nothing Of
what Harold did for food. He may
not have made any arrangements
to that effect. The whole stunt
may have been inspired by the
adage: "Pity is akin to love-" and
as he grew more and more pale
and wan, Florence may have
handed him out a crust. Indeed,
as that third day dawned, starva-
ton pallor may have induced the
pity which won the day.
SUCCESS DOUBTFUL
Despite Mr.. Hulen's original
method of bringing the girl to
terms, it's questionable if any
great number of girls would fall
for a sit-down strike in love-mak-
ing.
IT'S too static to appeal to fem
mime human nature. It lacks the
Lochinvar appeal of wild daring.
Caveman tactics have not lost at
traction for the femmes even in
this machine age. ....
When about in the fifth grade
you probably read about Lochin-
var, who came out of the West,
went to his sweetheart'S wedding,
whispered a word in her ear,
dashed with her through the great
hall, swung her up on his horse
and rode off with her.
This situation never fails to ap-
peal to women or, incidentally, to
make a best seller. It made large
fortune for the author of "The
Sheik," which not only sold hun
dreds of thousands of copies, but
ran for ages in the movies.
The man from Missouri might
have carried off his sweetheart in
a high-powered car. But that
lacked originality of appeal. The
passive sit-down strike had not
been tried out before, and despite
its inconvenience it apparently
has won with Miss Florence
Hurlbut.

In all probability, your trouble
with this young man is that you
have allowed yourself to talk over
your affair with a third person.
Intermediates of this kind seldom

right in Washington. It's really a

for their fiftieth anniversary.
There's a whole line of it, and it's
really a lovely color, clear gold IL

sunlight streaming through the
twilight. The pattern it comes in
is called "baroque," but is not as
elaborate as it's name sounds.

to show you. It is beautifully
shaped, and has a simple leaf de-
sign. You can get just about any
thing you want in the way of odd
pieces, and they are all lovely.
The mayonnaise bowl with its
ladle and plate is particularly
pretty, as is the covered jelly jar
which we've Sketched, the various
relish dishes, sugar and creams,
and so on. To give you an idea
of prices, the mayonnaiSe set is

STARTING POINT

Greensboro Daily NeWS)
With Senator Bailey's declaration
that senate approval of the admins
trations $1,5OO,OOO,OOO relief bill is a
victory for a spending policy" the
Daily News has no fault to find. There
is likewise more truth than poetry In
the senator's further assertion that
"relief has become a pork barrel bus
mess, not for Congress but localities,
contractors and dealers throughout
the country"
But right there is where we stop to
suggest that the Tar Heel honorable
supplant talk with action and move.
even though in a small way since cur
tailment of federal expenditures OBJ
viously is not going to occur on any
major scale, to do his own bit, but
way of example if nothing more, in
his own back yard.
Senator Bailey has undoubtedly
seen one, or probably all, of those lith-
ographic releases from the North
Carolina WPA. You know, and we'll
bet you he knows, what we're talking
about; those "WPA Its Story" pub
locations which are all photographs
and art work, offset printing, linen
paper and camera likenesses of re-
lief bigshots How much they actu-
ally cost, wo do not know. But they
are high-class stuff, genuine works of
art, turned out by WPA workers but
under the imprimateur of private es-
adjustments. Oh, yes, we almost for
got to mention; the beaming physio-
gomy which so frequently appears on
the frontispiece is generally accredit-
ed with having been elevated to the
State WPA dictatorship through the
instrumentalities of the same protest
ing senator himself.
So it's mere starting point that we
are suggesting for the Tar Heel hon
orable; doubly acceptable we assume,
in the dual purpose which it would
serve by reducing expenditures on
non-labOr that much and at the same
T, time cutting off it's proportionate part
. of that usage of public funds for pro-
paganda purposes (which Senator
Bailey and his co-critics likewise view
as indefensible.
