Selecting Equipment

In selecting equipment, see that
measuring cups and spoons are Of
standard size. Round bowls which
are narrow at the base are best
Cutlery should have durable handles
which are easy to grasp. Stainless
steel is easy to care for, but is not
as easy to sharpen as other steel
Sauce pans should be straight sided
and fit the cooking unit for which
they are intended. All pieces should
have smooth edges, neat jennings
and be simple in design to assure
ease in washing.
There are many gadgets on the
market to intrigue the homemaker
who should consider wisely the
amount of storage space she has
available and whether it will be used
often enough to warrant its pur-
chase. The best thing in new equip
ment which I have found in the
past year is dust mop which fits
onto a metal frame and may
be slipped off to launder. BY hav-
ing two mop covers, they can be
changed often for laundering. An
other interesting and useful little
gadget is butter measurer which
was invented by Seattle woman

WINDSOR limited
SEEKING SEAT IN
HOUSE OF LORDS
Significance Seen In.
MonCkt0n'S Visit
BY ALFRED TYRNAUER

VIENNA, Aug. 9 Q.N.S0.-The
periodic report that the self-exiled
Duke of windsor plans eventually
to find his niche in life as an
active, voluble and socially-minded
member Of the British House of
Lords cropped up again today.
In preparation for the forthcom-
ing visit Of the Duke and Duchess
Of Kent to the honeymoon castle
of ex-King Edward and the for
mer Mrs. Wallis Warfield, the
gates of Schloss Wasserleonburg
swung open today for Sir Walter
Monckton, attorney general Of the
Duchy of Cornwall and Windsor's
chief financial adviser.
London Doubtful
His visit gave rise to rumors
that Windsor now wishes to clear
away all obstacles blocking his
return to England and enable him
to claim his rightful seat in the
House of Peers.
London advices discount any
such plans and state that Mock
ton merely is bearing personal
message from Kent to Windsor.
But of the latter's desire to re-
turn to England there is no doubt
and a possibility so decked with
romance and adventure cannot
easily be dismissed.
Ex-King Defended
From the beginning, the Duke
has insisted he does not intend
to lead a life of leisure. Upon his
arrival in Austria just after his
abdication last December, he said
he wanted to devote his time and
ability to sociological and charita-
BILE enterprises. It was obvious he
intended England should be the
recipient of his favors.
Only last week, the London
Evening Star published long
articles defending the former
monarch against critics and ex
tolling his desires to embark upon
charitable work. Many well-in
formed persons say official inSpir
alton behind these editorials anc
read into them indications Of q
groundwork being laid for the
future.
