FOR LIVING

Modern Kitchens for Traditional People
BY JAMES r. PATTERSON

IF MODERN design and mass
production had never created
anything else. we would still be
eternally grateful for one of its
greatest contributions to con-
temporary living-the modern
kitchen. In no other age have
such tremendous strides been
made in the mechanics of living.
Most of us remember well the
kitchens of our childhood. and
while they often had a homely
charm and were filled with
tantalizing odors all will agree
that they seldom were con-

Wra ppines
For These
BY HELEN ROWLAND

NATURE may be grand; but
why did she put all the vitamins
in the least attractive vegetables
and most of the virtues in the
least glamorous people?
YOU SCARCELY ever see a
girl in a barber shop, these days.
The Cynic says that is probably
because, after all, the women
didn't hear anything there that
they ought not to listen TO, while
the beauty shop operator is
sometimes better than gossip
column.
YOU CAN never tell what
secret economy a man may
cherish. or when bit of frugal
ity will strike him. But you
may be practically sure that it
is something utterly trivial and
useless-just a sweet hyacinth
with which he feeds his spend
thrift soul after a spree of ex-
traVagance.
THERE WAS a time when no
well-bred girl ever used profan-
ity-but that was when a run in
her stocking was a personal and
private matter.
MEN USED to make love
with far more art and ardor,
they say; but then, the wine
was better, the music Sweeter,
and the women required more
technique and had more roman
tic appeal, if you believe the
oldsters.
NOWADAYS WHEN a man
admits that a woman Is his
equal. he generally means that
he thinks he is just as good as
she is.
LOVE Is like diphtheria.
Once you have had a genuine
hard case of il, you are i'm
mune to all the lighter vari-
cites and not perturbed by any

this type. Refrigerator and
stove separated by a counter
top cabinet--occupy one wall.
The double-sink and counter an
other. The third wall is storage,
above and below a counter.
Ample working area is always a
blessing, and 10 this end it Is
wise to plan space for food
preparation, cleaning up and for
placing prepared dishes just
prior to serving.
In addition, this plan makes
provision for eating in the
kitchen; for breakfast, luncheon
or supper. Separated from the
work area. the eating unit Is
not in the way during normal
kitchen routine, yet IS con-
venient for the quick meal.
Frequently. kitchens must also
serve as offices and this ar
rangement of eating unit may
well be used to that purpose.
Meals must be planned, recipes
studied. shopping lists written
and when a place for doing
them exists. they are done with
less energy spent. A telephone
tor extension) included here is
a great convenience.
Electric Outlets
Every kitchen should have
more than just enough electric
outlets. More and more electri-
cally operated equipment is be-
coming permanent part OF the
kitchen picture and the need for
outlets grows.
The new plug-in strips with
outlets every six to Is inches
may be set long the back of the
work counter to eliminate the
usual tangled maze of cords.
Counters should be the right
height for the person using
them. Thirty-four to Sc inches
is standard, but don't let that
stop you if you are taller or
shorter than average. Shelves
should be in reach and cupboard
doors ought 10 be so designed so
that they aren't in the way for
work. Doors which slide on a
tracks similar to the doors of a
store show casc-are convenient
and not out Of a budget range
in cost.

Senator, President Renew
One Of Bitterest F Feuds in
Capitals History
HOUSE ARGUES BILL
Wadsworth Backs Lease
Lend Plan, Gen. Wood
Voices Opposition
BY RICHARD L. TURNER


WASHINGTON, Feb. A. R -
In renewal of one of the bit
terest feuds in the capitals his
tory, Senator Wheeler D-MonD to-
day accused the Roosevelt admin
istration of denuding the nations
aerial defenses to aid Britain, and
President Roosevelt raped back
with virtual charge that Wheeler
was giving comfort to Adolf Hit
Ter.
On hearing of the Presidents re-
marks, the Montana senator then
issued statement saying: I'm
perfectly willing to compare my
patriotism with that of his closest
advisers. I have no interest, finan-
cially or otherwise, in Germany or
England.
WadswOrth Supports Bill
The exchange came in the
course of a day that saw Repre-
sentative Wadsworth (R-NY) swing
his influential support behind the
Presidents lend-lease British aid

while, General Robert E. Wood,
President of Sears Roebuck, ap-
pearing before the senate foreign
relations committee, opposed the
legislation as "a war bilr' VIII cn
would place a I Mr.. Roosevelt's dis
posal ''the blood and resources of
our entire nation"
The President and Wheeler have
engaged for ceveral weeks in a
bristling exchange of statements.
In the last of them, the President
quoted the late William E. Dodd.
former ambassador to Germany,
as having said Wheeler once de-
clared that Nazi domination of Eu-
rope was inevitable. The Montanan
replied that this was a''slander-
ous' effort to discredit his opposi-
ton to the lease-lend bill.
Today Wheeler said he had "ab-
solutely reliable information" that
as of Jan. l the army had only
639 planes, none of them capable
of fighting under modern condi-
tions, because they lacked self-seal-
ing gasoline tanks, firing power or
armor. Of 1884 planes produced
here last year, he asserted, 2,308
went to England or other coun-
tries.
Reporters raised the question of
statistics at the Presi-
dents press conference few
hours later. The chief executive
replied briefly and without elabor-
alton that one could use figures,
official and otherwise, to work out
all sorts of things and that such
use of figures must be very salts
