New-Type Screens
Shut Out Heat as
Well as Insects
BY HILSON MUNSEY.

This is the time of the year when
the question of screens arises to
annoy the home owner. They have
to be taken out Of storage and re-
furnished. The painting and re-
placement that was surely to be
done during the winter months when
there was to be so much time in
which to do it has reached the point
when 1t cannot be sidestepped any
longer because the mosquitoes and
other insects work by seasons and
not for the convenience of the public.
II new screens or new wiring for
old frames Is needed there is a new
type of screening that will well re-
pay investigation. Usually a screen
claims only to keep out insects, but
this particular screening also keeps
out the heat waves.
1t Is made on different principle.
Instead of up and down round wires
it is constructed with fiat wires very
much on the idea of a Venetian
blind. These fiat wires are held in
place by vertical wires, spaced half
an inch apart and the fat wires are
set at an angle of IT degrees. The
upright wires hold the Stats firmly
because they go over and under each
horizontal slat and are twisted in the
center.
The effect of the Stats is to shut
out the rays of the sun without
interfering with the light coming
into the room. The difference in
room temperature Is between 10 and
IS degrees fahrenheit.
Shuts Out Direct Rays.
The angle at which the Stats are
set was determined by the sun itself.
The direct rays of the sun are shut
of when that body is 40 degrees or
more above the horizon. and that is
the hottest part of the day. The
screening is made of bronze wire
throughout and should last for years.
With the reduction of the room
temperature the cost of summer air
conditioning is greatly reduced and

of paint. Go over each piece evenly
two or three times. If the work is
done out of doors location should
be selected where no wind or dust
will reach the object to be painted.
incidentally, there are new textile
paints on the market, procurable at
art stores, with which the linens
for your tea cart and tables may
also be periodically decorated.
These paints are not only easy to
apply, but they are boil-proof after
pressing on the back with a hot
iron. With stencils or free hand,
designs may be applied to linen,

Mrs. G. Matthews of Flint, Mich, asks for a rice ring recipe, and so:
 ICE RING
 Mix { cups cooked rice with i.4 cup melted butter. Pack Into but tered l-quart ring mold. Set in pan of hot water until thoroughly heated. Turn out on serving dish and fill center as desired,
 Mrs. Matthews wants other in. expensive recipes for rice, so let's turn to the new edition of the Bos- ton Cooking School Cook Book, When possible use brown rice in- stead of white because brown rice has valuable vitamin B in 1t. Brown rice requires longer cooking, other wise 1t can be used in the recipes like white rice.
 To bake rice, put quart, cooked in buttered baking dish. Beat 2 eggs slightly with cups milk, season highly, and pour over rice. Dot with butter, sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper, and bake until brown.
 CHICKEN PILAF
 (Serves 4)
 Two cups hot cooked rice, 3 ta- blespoons butter, 1-2 cup fresh or canned tomatoes, l-2 cup diced, cooked chicken, veal or chicken stock highly seasoned, salt and cayenne.

SOFT YOKES TRIM MORNING MODE
PATTERN A69

Your reputation for chic isn't built us just on Sundays! What you wear every day at home as well as "out calling" count too. Why not be sure of being well-dressed even at houe- hgold tasks by making up Pattern 469 by Claire Tilden? It has a flat tering, cool V neckline and softly rounded shoulder yokes. Three darts beneath each one give you necessary fulnesS over the blossom. The set-in belt is very trim, very slim-youll never lost 1t, either! A central panel in the skirt, both front and back gives you room to bend and tsoop at your work-So important, and also adds to the slenderizirg effect. Let the Sewing Guide show you how quickly this style can be made, either with short, three-quarter, or full- length sleeves. The latter are appro- pirate If you use a sheer wool fabric and make a street dress from this pattern-it's so tailored and smart! For contrast, add two buttons at the neck, or perhaps make the yokeS, sleeves and back bodice of another color, and the set-n-belt too. If you make 1t in cotton, choose 6 fresh- as-a-daisy print.
 Pattern 469 Is cut in misses and women's sizes IA, IS, IS, 20, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42. Size l6 requires yards 35 inch fabric.

QUININE IN PANAMA

I have read your articles for a number of years (writes o. B. P) and agreed with your ideas in most cases, but take exception to your causte remarks relative to quinine for malaria and yellow fever. (My files fail to reveal the caustic re- marks to which o. B. P. alludes, but then, perhaps he has confused something else with my remarks). |. went to Panama in 1905 (continues O. B. p and retired in lo36, SO l saw men get deaf for weeks at e time with too much quinine but in every case if the quinine was taken soon enough 1t routed the malaria and yellow jack. I saw men die from malaria because they did not take the quinine until 1t was too late. Have noticed this new stuff the doctors have been trying in place of quinine in the past ten years or so doesn't work as well as Quinine, and they have to go back to quinine. So for me it will be twenty grains of quinine right of the bat if or when malaria comes on and then send for the doctor.
 co. B. F..
 The same mail brought 8 postcard from Mrs. c. who says the druggist refused to sell her one grain quinine capsules, tablets or pills, which he deems unsuitable foV children, and will I please explain.
 I do wish knew what caustic re- marks o. P. B. found in my column I'm great believer in the value of quinine both as remedy and as a prophylaetic and I cannot recall having said anything that might be construed as caustic in reference to quinine.
 However, I do not advise any one to take twenty grains of quinine, malaria or no malaria. It would be much better to send for the doctor first, l think. If no doctor Is within reach, then I do advise taking quinine if chills and fever come, in district where malaria occurs, at the rate of twenty grains day for five to seven days. The daily ration of twenty grains should be divided into two or more doses, not taken in one dose.
 do not understand the peculiar response of the druggist to the cus- toner's request for one-grain quinine capsules, tablets or pills. I'd wager a good deal that this druggist has on his shelves and sells indiscrim- inately a popular nostruTn which contains quinine and also one of the coaltar derivatives as e painkiller or sense-deadener.
 Tn my opinion it Is good practice to give a child weighing as much as fifty pounds one grain oe quinine sulfate (n capsule. pill or tablet) after breakfast and after supper evrey day for . period of several weks whenever there is an epldimic of respiratory infection in Che coin- munity. For a person weighing 100

There are plenty of defense jobs and you can get one with training training that may require only few weeks.
 Shortages of skilled and semi- skilled workers exist almost every where - in Ehipbuilding, in ma chine shops, in foundrieS, in air. craft. In many sections other short- ages are as severe.
 To prepare you for defense jobs, the government is giving free B. week courses in public high schools, in sheet metal work, welding, other needed skills.
 And if you'd like to go to sea, the U. s. Maritime Commission trains young men IS to 25 in mathematics, engineering, naviga- ton, pays them $50 month to learn to be third mates or third assistant engineersl
 Never before were there such op- portunities to learn trades and be placed immediately If you're skilled there are jobs literally begging for you, now!
 That applies to women, handicap ped and older people too! Our 32. page booklet tells just what defense and non-defense shortages exist in every section of the country, what agencies are giving training and where to register for jobs.

 2. Don't tell him all about your self. Make him work to find out what you are really like.
 3. Let him think the idea of a second meeting is something the thought Up but hasn't occurred to you. Then he'll feel that he's pretty lucky when you agree to it.
 4. Don't arrange to meet him at a restaurant or movie. or offer to pick him up in your family's car. Let him come to your house, and when he does introduce him to some member of your family. Remember a girl on blind-date is at a dis- advantage so far as background is concerned. And so if she wants the blind-date to turn into romance, she should establish her background as soon as possible.
 The girl who follows these rules will steer a straight course even though she Is dating blind.

 I take three drops of Iodine in a glass of lemon juice every morning. That Isn't too much iodine, is 1t?
 c. V. O.
 Answer-You fail to mention the purpose for which you take 1t. I recommend only two or three drops of the Mild Tincture" in a glassful of water. The Mild Tincture of Iodine, now official, Is only one-thEd as strong as the Tincture of Iodine that was offlclal when began rec. ommending an iodin ration fO everybody. The Mild Tincture con. tains about 2 per cent, the old Tine. ture (still used by physicians) con tained about ' per cent of iodinC So two or three drops" of the MiN Tincture of Iodine (intended to sat iSfy the popular demand for a safe efficient first aid disinfectant and al around antiseptic) is equivalent t1 less than a drop of the old standard Tincture of Iodine.

 Hollywood - wools are war. struck. Prices are rising. This Is not an alarm - it's pure fact. West Coast manufacturers can prove it.. Items that wholesaled for seven dol- lars six months ago are bringing al- most nine today,
 But the gals around Hollywood have their own answer to the threat and proof-that wool prices are tipping. Clothes-con oil, they know 1t would be difficult to find themselves minus that warm, soft animal fabric. Sensible about money even the most starry are that, and don't forget it---none of them has gone hog-wild buying wools,
 Instead, they are working out mix-and-match wardrobes of wool. They are assembling separate pieces --all of which can be shifted around to make Q variety oZ costumes. CAROL BRUCE A LEADER IN MIX-AND MATCH GAME
