UNSOLD SHORTAGES

UNSOLD SHORTAGES
There is a shortage of bottle
corks because cork is needed for
life preservers, for gaSketS in tank
and plan motors, for the under
decking of mosquito torpedo boats.
There is national daylight
savings because there is a
power shortage. That is known
i'm a general way, but the av-
erage family can't understand
how getting up by electric light
saves current. What hasn't been
explained is that getting up by
electric light distributes the load
on the power plant, enabling
the family at home to eat sup
per by daylight, when the sec
Ond shift in the war plants is
placing additional burden on
generators.
The need for food rationing was
found to be Woefully misunderstood.
The loss of the Philippines has
not been interpreted adequately in
terms of loss of a million tons of
sugar supply. The defense of Pearl
Harbor has not been spelled out
| in terms of a so per cent cut in
the sugar supply from Hawaii. Too
many people still think the sugar
shortage is phony.
The evils of boarding are sadly
underestimate. There is still too
much of the We'll, I'm gonna get
mine, anyway" spirit and not
enough appreciation of the need
for sacrifice at home.
NO MIRACLES
The rubber shortage was found
to be the best understood, but there
is still too much belief that this
is going to be solved, somehow.
| There has been too much over
reliance on statements that inven-
tors will crash through with some
| gadget 10 take the place of tires
and too much belief that guayule
or synthetic rubber production, in
some mysterious manner, will be
| developed overnight. The basic fact
that there is not one pound of
rubber for new civilian tires in 1913
| has not been driven home.
Gas shortage and gas ra-
tioning is not vet national
problem, but in those areas
where it is felt, there is no
understanding as to how the
problem of transportation is TO
be met. Too many people are
waiting for someone TO come
around and tell them how men
are TO get to work, how children
are to get TO school, how wO-
men are to do their marketing
with store delivery systems cur
tailed.
Every item which. has gone up
in price seems to have raised the
question of, EWhos getting the
increese?" Farmer, middle m n,
manufacturer are all suspected,
though the charges of all-out-profi-
teering have been few. Clothes and
rent increases also are questioned.
The result of this roundup Of
worries is going to mean that the
war at home must be better sold,
and sold with more emphasis on
the why's and Wherefores of every
ordered variation from the life as
usual" pattern.

Cooking Game

Here Are accepted
Ways to Prepare
Plump Partridge
By Edith NJ. Barber

IF you will stay in Michigan for
the week end we will give you
pheasant dinner" This prospect
was offered as bride when I told
some of my friends that I was PLAN
ming to stop off on my way home for
a week end in Syracuse. I appre-
ciated the offer. but informed them
I was certain that l should have
game of some sort in New York
State. I was right; it wasn't pleas
ant, but it was cartridges and plenty
of them, shot by members of the
family and saved for my visit. II I
had stayed over I could have had
another treat, as the hunters came
home Sunday night with bags filled
to the legal limit.
Methods of cookery for game were
topic of discussion whenever
hunters got together. should men,
ton that some of the wives are
hunters as we'll as experts on cook
ing the game for the table. The
recipes which I am using today come
from my hostess, Mrs. Stuart
Raleigh. Either wild rice or bread
sauce is served with partridge. At
dinner this time, however, wild rice
was chosen, and cinnamon apples
surrounded the golden brown birds
with their sauce of cream.
The apples. after pairing and cor
ing, were cooked in a thin sugar
sirup to which had been added about
half cup of red cinnamon drops
which impaired both color and
flavor.
The apples must be turned often
and the sirup should not be allowed
to boil so that the fruit will keep its
shape and absorb both favor and
color. A few should be cooked at a
time, and when all the apples are
done the remaining sirup should be
allowed to boil until it almost spins
a thread and then it should be
poured over the apples, to which it
will impart slight glaze.
Some game is even coming from
abroad, and is available at fine mar
kets If you are planning to in
dulge in game. it is generally neces-
sary to order it ahead from your
butcher. who. in his turn, orders 1t

The following excerpt is from
readers recent letter: Il am using
all Of your facial and neck exer-
cises and the compliments I receive
are stimulating and worth the
time"
That Is one of many. Another
one says: Gould you please send
me few more of your facial exer-
else leaflets? My friends asked me
what I had been doing to look so
much younger and I told them.
Now they want to try the exer-
ciSes too"
The muscles of the face should
be exercised just as the muscles Of
the stomach or any other part Of
the body unless you are willing to
become flabby and sag. Facial
exercises develop muscular tone and
increase circulation in the face.
1t will be from six to eight weeks
bC4OLC SOI DCSAll W IIJCIIC q blltCl
ence in your face. I wish to warn
you that you must not start at
these too rapidly or muscular IA
tigue will be detrimental. Do each
one only two times the first day.
Even when you work up to the
maximum number the entire lot will
take only about Is or 20 minutes.
Try this one. Slowly pull the
left corner of the mouth up toward
the left ear. When the corner
reaches the highest point of pos
sible elevation, hold for few sec
onds. Slowly return mouth to nor
NAL. This time pull the right corner
of the mouth up toward the right
ear Hold a few seconds and re-
turn to normal. Remember that all
of these contractions should be
done slowly.
These exercises are never boring
to take because you look so funny
and they are done in front of a
mirror. Now you can get even
with your husband for the horrible
grimaces he makes while shaving.
BY the way, some persons believe
| that these very grimaces are the
reason most men are younger look
ing in the face than women of the
same age.
