Substitute, Simplify, Conserve.
These should be the watchwords
in buying cooking utensils, advises
Miss Harriet Elliott, chief of the
Consumer Division, OPA.
Since civilian demands for alum
mum should be eliminated and
the use of stainless steel cut to a
minimum, substitution of utensils
made of other satisfactory ma
terials is necessary.
Buying of kitchen utensils
should be reduced to the few
standard-design utensils which
have proved most efficient and
satisfactory.
For top-of-the-stove cooking,
saucepans, double-boilers and
coffee-pots of enamel ware are ex-
cellent. To prevent checking or
cracking of new ware, housewives
should never allow a vevssel to
boil dry, or pour cold water into
a hot pan. Labels on the ware or
folders accompanying it should in
dlcate tests for heat, abrasion and
acid resistance, and amount of
impact it will lendure without
breaking.
For long cooking, cast iron is
satisfactory. Though it takes long
er to heat, it retains heat longer at
low fuel cost. Skillets, griddles
and Dutch ovens of iron are ex-
cellent. But each should be sea-
soned before first using by being
heated for two or three hours over
low fame, after having been
creased with non-salty fat. This
removes lacquer and fills the pores
OF the iron. Such utensils should
be dried carefully to prevent rust
ing: Flame-proof glass is good for
cooking on top of the stove. How
ever, it is expensive and breaks
easily.
For oven cooking, tin, iron and
enamel ware are all good. Piepans,
cake pans and baking sheets of
tin give excellent service and are
not expensive. The dullness that
comes with use makes them better
heat conductors. They sohuld be
cleaned and dried carefully to
prevent rust.
For roasting, covered or uncov-
cred pans of enamel of Russia
iron serve well. The same care
should be taken of them that is
taken of other utensils made of
the same materials.
Casseroles of ovenproof glass
are excellent, but food tends to
stick in them and tbor roo,,;r,o
careful cleaning. Glazed pottery
is good for baking if care is taken
against blows or sudden TEMPER
ature changes.
In general, heavy pans are for
long cooking, light ones for quick
cooking. Sides of pans should be
straight, bottoms flat to present
the most heating surface. They
should cover the burner and lids
should fit tightly.

There is already a shortage of
silk, and the war with Japan
will make this shortage more
acute. This shortage has resulted
in the steadily increasing use of
rayon in wearing apparel, draper
les and other household textiles.
The sharpest increase in consump-
tion is apparent in the hosiery in
dustry.
Since the defense program
makes steady demands on produ-
GERS of rayon yarns, any waste in
civilian use is to be carefully
avoided.
Consumers are urged to buy
rayon goods carefully. If textiles
or, garments are to be washed,
only those labeled washable
should be purchased. washable"
should mean that the colors are
fast, and that the garment will
not shrink out of fit. If no label
Is present, customers should de-
mand such information from the
retailer.
Most rayons except acetate NAV
be washed and pressed in much
the same way as silk. Flat, plain
weaves such as those used in
lingerie and many dress fabrics
are usually washable. Lukewarm
water, never hot, should be used,
and mild, neutral soap flakes. The
washing should be done with the
absolute minimum of rough hand
ling, excess water being squeezed
out in the folds of towel. Gar
ments made of knitted, crepe or
novelty fabrics should be meas
ured before cleaning or washing,
dried flat on towel, then gently
eased back into shape.
All rayon garments should be
lroned on the wrong side while
damp, never allowed to dry first.
The iron should be moved down
the length of the garment, and a
slight tension exerted to restore
the original size. Acetate rayon
requires special care. 1t demands
exceedingly careful ironing, since
1t may become shiny or even
melt if the iron is too hot.
Some fabrics of rayon, or of
rayon in combination with other
yarns, must not be washed. La
bells should indicate this fact. or
IT SHOULD be ascertained from the
dealer. It is a safe practice to
wash fabrics only when labels or
instructions indicate that such is
the usual method of cleaning.
Otherwise, the garments should
be dry-cleaned. Certain cleaning
solvents, as well as nail polish and
polish remover, dissolve acetate
rayon and should not come in con-
tact with it. Crepes and loosely
woven fabrics, pleated and ruffled
garments usually require dry
cleaning.
When garment is made of a
fabric combining rayon and other
yarns, the label should indicate
this fact. The law requires this in
the case of wool. Such fabrics
should be treated as the most del
icate fibre in them require. In
formation about preshrinking
should also appear on the label, or
be requested from the dealer.

LayHealth Council Asks
Aid for County Needy

The public health nurses of
Prince Georges County are often
called to care for illnesses In
needy families where there arc
no sheets on blankets to cover the
makeshift bedding, and where the
househould cannot supply the SIM
plest articles for bedside care.
District representatives of the
Public Health Lay Council, meet
ing in conference Monday with
Miss Frances Buck, supervising
nurse, worked out details for loan
closets to be established through
out the county. Laurel, HYATT
vile, Oxen Hill, Upper Marlboro,
and Capitol Heights were selected
as the locations from which the
nursing staff might make the best
use of loan closet supplies in their
work with needy families. Posi-
bility of wartime emergencies in
addition to the usual type of To-
cal needs make the immediate es-
tablishment of these loan closets
a particularly important feature
of defense preparations.
The Lay Council asks the sup
port of every family in Prince
Georges County either by $1.00
annual membership, or by direct
contributions to the loan closets.
Articles needed for the loan clos
cts are: sheets Qarge, single, or
crib size), draw sheets, pillow
cases, bath towels (large and
small), single blankets Cotton or

II. s. Savings Bonds
Go On Sale Thursday

United States defense savings
bonds and postal savings stamps will
go on sale at the Bluffton post office
this Thursday, it was stated by Post
master Ed Reichenbach.
The new defense savings bond is
similar to the familiar baby bond, of
which more than five billion dollars
worth have been bought by two and
one-half million Americans since
1885.
Defense bonds with a maturity
value of $25 may be purchased May
l, or thereafter, for $1S.75. In 10
years the bond will be worth S25.
This represents an increase of
33b per cent, equal to an annual
interest return of 29 per cent COM
pounded semi-annually. Any time
after go days from the date of pur-
chase the bond may be redeemed
for cash in accordance with the table
of redemption values printed on its
face.
To spread investments widely
among all the people of the country,
limit of $4,000 has been set on the
amount that can be bought by any
person in one year.
Bonds are in denominations of S25,
$50, $100, $500 and $1,000, all of
which are sold for IS per cent of
their maturity value, and all of
which mature in 10 years.
For larger investors who can af-
ford to purchase up to $4,000 worth
of bonds a year, the treasury depart
ment has issued two additional types
of bonds. These, however, will be
sold only thru banks and by direct
mail from Washington, d. C.
Smaller investors who wish to buy
a bond on an easy-payment plan
may obtain new series of postal
savings stamps, at 10 cents, so cents,
81 and SIS. Each purchaser of any
savings stamp higher than 10 cents
will receive free of charge an attract
i've pocket album in which stamps
may be pasted.
Secretary Morgentheau said that
even a boy or girl who saved 10
cents to buy a Savings Stamp will
help the country and its present de-
fense program.
