A native of Kentucky, Miss
jameson received her home eco
Monies training at Western Ken
lucky State Teachers College
Since then, she has devoted her
entire career to assisting home
makers. with particular emphasis
on food and cooking problems. Her
earliest work in this connection
was done for a large food products
concern. zone of the greatest
problems encountered anon 6
homemakers learning to use new
foods products" Miss Jameson
said, was the difficulty of obtain
ing good results with old-fashioned
cooking methods. 1t seemed to me
that the need for improved cook
ing equipment was greater than
the need for new food products, /
found the thing to fill this need
in electric cookery, and have con-
centrated on it ever SINCE"
Thus, 1t was only natural that
Miss Jameson should bring her
talents to The Hotpoint Company
pioneer in electric range de-
velopment. When she is not
travelling about the country, help
ing TO inform homemakers on
latest developments in electric
home appliances, Miss Jameson is
at work in the famous Hotpoint
Test Kitchens at Chicago, helping
develop new, improved kitchen
methods.
Miss Jameson said, "Since the
first practical electric range for
dome site use first saw the light
of day, there has been a constant
succession of improvements in it.
Recently, The Hotpoint Company
produced its One MilIiOnth Electric
Range-a far cry in both appear
anee and performance from the
1910 model-or the 1920 model for
that matter"

Miss KathrynJ Jameson To Conduct
Cooking School Here Thursday

{ In speaking of the great i'm
provements that have been made
year by year in the electric range
Miss Jameson pointed to some OF
the outstanding features of cur
rent models. She pointed to Hot
points sensational Select-A-Heat
Calrod cooking unit, which not
only brings per cent more speed
to the already record-breaking
speed Of electric cookery, but con-
tributes to remarkable new saw
ings in cooking costs. These saw
ings range from 20 to go per cent
on many cooking operations, she
said. Miss Jameson also named
HotpOint's new Timemaster, which
times oven cooking operations and
makes possible a new, more eff
ficient form of absent cookery"
Other improvements noted are the
larger Thrift Cooker, the new ALI
Purpose oven, and a vast selection
of other features. "And with 1t
all, electric ranges are priced
lower today than ever before in
the history of electric ranges"
she said.
Miss Jameson says, "The Hot
point Electric Range Is as easy to
clean as achina plate. The glossy
porcelain enamel finish has a
smooth surface that closely re-
sembles glass. 1t may be cleaned
as frequently as desired with a
clean cloth and mild soap and
water"
To remove spots, Miss Jameson
rubbing lightly with a
abrasive. Chrom-
ium finished metal parts may be
cleaned up with soap and water
and polished with a clean. dry
cloth.
Hotpoint's Calrod heating units
are also cleaned easily, Miss
Jameson says. Foods that spill
over are quickly burned free by
the heat of the coils. The one
piece pan beneath the coils is
easily removed for cleaning.

RELIGION IN BOOKS
By ROY L. TAwEs
THIS Is THE vTcToRy bv =,

THIS is THE VICTORY by Les
lie d. Weatherhead. Abingdon
Cokesbury, Nashville. 81. There are
three good reasons for reading this
book. 1t is a Weatherhead book,
Weatherhead at his best, and was
written on the war scene. The
pastor of City Temple, London,
gives us his message OF faith to
stricken people. He sets forth
the faith of the Christian Gospel
as the only true victory for nation
and world. He urges confidence In
God. and His purpose over against
the evil purposes of warning men.
He lifts high the human spirit OY-
er hard times and brutal facts. He
sees the breakdown of old philO-
sophies, the lie in inevitable pro-
gress," the folly OF dismissing God
and the supernatural. He looks
upon war as a necessary choice
between two evils, but cannot who'll
ly reconcile himself TO war. He
believes that the crisis challenges
religion, and that religion can sue
cessfully meet the challenge. THE
Christian philosophy of life stands
whether we win or lose. God will
win. II we lose, we must ask God
to show us how defeat can he best
used for His victory. If we win-as
think we shall-we must pray to |
be made worthy of victory, and we |
must use victory consciously for |
his ends" Such nuggets of thought
are treasures of the book. The book
has three divisions: Our Faith.
Faiths Allies, Faiths Forward
Look. The Love of God, the Worth
of Man, the Confession of Sin, the
Triumph of Faith are in these
pages. The reading of them will
do something for the soul which
would recover its grasp on the
things eternal.

is no such person. All authority
is In the hands Of the President
and he has delegated very little
not enough for any action not pre-
viously approved by himself.
Immersed in great problems of
global strategy and the direction
of the armed forces, it is plain that
he cannot deal with such details.
The trouble is that no one else can.
He hasn't delegated that kind Of
authority, but if he had he has not
around him the sort of men ca
pable of welding it effectively.
Sees Our Best Men Not Used.
And that brings up the point
on which the President himself
can act without delay. He can act,
but no one else. In both England
and Canada the best brains in the
country are now in the Government.
There are no conspicuously able
and experienced men who are not
being utilized in key positions;
which is as it should be.
But that is not true in this coun-
try. The reverse of that is true
Unfortunately. the best brains of
the country today are outside of
the Government. not in it. Our
outstanding men Of ability and
experience are not being utilized.
Few will dispute that statement.
A few names spring instantly to
mind: B. M. Baruch, Herbert
Hoover, Wendell Willkie, Alfred
Sloan, Lewis w. Douglas, John E.
Hanes, James A. Farley, Owen D.
Young. All these men have ca
pacity. character. experience and
unquestioned patriotism. There is
not one but who would be an enor-
nous help in the great national
effort we are making. They would
increase both efficiency and con-
fidence. Moreover. they are avail
able. And there are plenty Of Others
But they are outside the Govern
ment, not inside.
There is no way for them to
serve except at Mr.. Roosevelt's in
vitation-and that has not been
extended. If there is one thing
more disturbing than the caliber
of the men who are managing this
job, 1t is the caliber of the men
who are not being permitted to
help manage 1t.
