Barbecue Kingdom
Skill Dates Back
To Mission Days
Open and Closed Pit
. Methods Divide Cooks
Into Two Comps

LOS ANGELES, June 27.-Ven-
tura County in Southern California
calls itself the Barbecue King
DOM" This Is barbecue as the
Spanish Californians know tout
under the oak trees, whole steer
for the banquet, pit for the oven.
Vacationists attending barbecue
parties here this summer will find
themselves amid battle of recipes.
Every banker. lawyer or doctor who
makes barbecue hobby has his
"one- and-only' way to do it.
Roughly, they fall into two classes:
Open-pit-A whole steer, or a
goodly part of it. roasted intact
over a bed of glowing Goals until
crisp and brown. Old cattlemen
like this dish.
Closed-pit-Strips Of meat rolled
up and tied. Seasoned with chilli
sauce. Wrapped in cheesecloth,
butcher papers and barley sacks.
Sacks wetted and lowered into pit
of hot Goals and the pit filled in.
Four hours later the pit is opened
and sacks of tender, nicely Drowned
meat pulled out with burst Of de-
licious odors.
Some old ranch families still pre-
fer the barbecued bulls head
wrapped in mint leaves and roasted
over hot stones. It's tasty dish
for as many as 10 people.
A whole steer may be served up
at one of the larger private barbe-
cues. Thousands of persons attend
the numerous public ones.
Old Spanish -Californians say the
habit has lived on from the Mission
DAYS when neighbors rode in to help
at a cattle roundup and were fed
barbecue, a steer roasted for every
meal.

Line to Run Tours,
But Without Escort

CHICAGO, June 27-Burlington
Tours, operated on the all-expense
plan but without escorts and in
regular equipment, will be available
from Chicago every day this sum-
mer to Colorado. Yellowstone,
Glacier and the Black Hills, the
railroad has announced.
The program of Burlington Es-
corted Tours planned for this sea-
son will not be operated because
escorted tour parties often require
extra equipment and might possibly
conflict with war traffic.

WE, THE WOMEN---------- Love Will Turtle The Balricades War Erects Against Marriage

Those college students arc right In thinking that it Is more difficult for q young couple, faced by sep. nration and uncertainty, to make a marriage that will succeed than 1t would be for thom to make . so Of marriage in normal times,
 But none Of the obstacles they mention is reason enough for de- ciding that war marriages are R mistake.
 What if c girl does have to sup- port herself AND c child2 It has been done before - and Success- fully, too. Any girl with character would rather marry the man she loves, have his child and bring 1t up alone than let fear deprive her of marriage with the man of her choice.
 Honcymoons are nice, and it's too bad young folks in war tifn0 usually can't manage to have them. But c successful marriage certainly isn't dependent on Q happy honeymoon. If 1t were, none of those depression mar riageS, where q girl and boy were married on their lunch hour, would have worked out,
 WAR MARRIAGE
 IS WORTH THE RISK
 And If 6 husband md wife haven't enough character to re- main faithful to each other through c period Of separation -- chances are they would find some other excuse for inAdelity during the course of their marriage.
 War marriages can't be like Q peaeetime marriage, but no phase of living is the same in war aS in peace time. That certainly doesn't mean a war marriage isn't worth the risk. And the opinion of col- lege students notwithstanding = young men facing war and pos- sibly death will continue to marry the girls they love, and babies will come of some of those marriages, and If their fathers don't return, their mothers will manage solne- how to give them Q chance in life.

sO rms Is CANCER MONTH

so THIS as CANCER MONTH They tell me this is Cancer Month-and don't mean astrol- ogS never can get enthusiastic about such "weeks" or months" and I'd rather not Do bothered even about "days", lf you don't mind,
 But cancer IS different. For quite O while now ! haven't said Q word about cancer ln this column, Not because the frowns of Q certain class of people lntlmidate me, but it just happens have been pound. ing away on other lines for . while,
 Now I'm going to try to print the common
 DANGER SIGNALS or CANCER 1. Any sore that does not readily
 heal, particularly # it is in or
 about tho mouth or at any other
 body orifoe,
 2. Any wart or mole that changes
 In color size or appearance; or
 that Is situated on Q part of the
 body subject to chronic or con-
 stant irritation from the cloth-
 whether or not there Is change
 in color or appearance, and pars
 ticularly if 1t Is on one Of the
 feet.
 3. Any lump, especially c lump in
 tho female breast. (. Any unusual discharge from any
 of the body cavities, particularly
 if 1t blood-stained.
 6. Digestive disturbance or peFslst-
 ent discomfort purporting to be
 indigestion" developing in Q
 person between A6 and e5 years
 of age.
 Some people contend that the average reader I. e. is that of q twelve-year-old child. I don't know about that, but I believe the I, c, of readers of this column Is consid- erably higher than that and 30 I print these danger signals, confi- dent that readers who may become at all suspicious or alarmed about their own trouble will act as intel- ligent people that is, not worry about 1t but go straight to Q phy. siclan and And out.
 After all our greatest worries, fears or dreNds are about what we do not know, Dread, Doubt and Delay are great allies of cancer. The most potent weapons wo have for fighting cancer are, first, Knowledge, and second, Taking it in time.

 Though it's the first and last busi- neSs of living, breathing 10 done correokly hy surprisingly few ot us hlgh.heeled prettles, And since there's really no such thing As breathleSs beauty, it would DO worthwhile Co check your breathing habits and improve them if necess sary, 1t can Dc done very quickly, And good breathing ia the key to good posture and graceful moves ment,
 A new Idea that might speed your progress ls thls; concentrate on breathing out, rather than on breathing in, Follow tho artifiolal- respiration technique,
 stand erect with bAc kbone straight, stomach ln, shoulders comfortable. Place the palms of your hand at your sides, ribs high, Now push with both hands and ct the same time exhalo to the count of three,
 when you reach three, you should feel Q definite deflation be- low the diaphragm. Now release the pressure of hands but keep them on the ribs and inhale to the count of three. You will feel the chest cavity expand, sideways.
 REPEAT EXERCISE
 EVERY DAY
 Feeling this inhaling pressure against your hands focuses your at. tentlon on the important outward expansion of the chest cavity. No- tiee that the upper front part of the chest does not move much.
 Repeat the exercise five times daily, and you should soon be rid of common breathing faults~-sueh faults aS inhallng deeply but ex- haling In short, jerky putfS, inhaling shortly and only half filling the lungs, breathing ilTegularly, and in- haling and apparently holding the breath before exhAiing
 A few minutes good-brea thing practice In bed before you get up will do wonders for your stamina all day long. And because 1t Stim- ulateS circulation, it will improve your skin, too, particularly If 1t is sallow. Lie flat on your back with ankles together, arms ct sides, Raise arms slowly, inhaling deeply and counting to yourself. When you reach three, your arms should be pointing to the ceiling,
 Now exhale, bringing arms down- ward and back to sides as you count to three again. Taking about ten breathS thus, evenly, completely ex- haling and inhaling, Is one Of the shortest and one of the best of ell conditioning routines.'

 c. Why do boards in a floor creak7 How can the trouble be remedied?
 A. The creaklng may be due to improper mailing, warping Of the floor board or the joist underneath, or to faulty construction Of the floor as c whole. To remedy, drive q few three- penny finishing nails through the board into the joist underneath, counterSinklng the nail heads and filling the holes with wax Of the same color as the floor.

 Mothers taking part in community war activities Should train their daughters to take over some of the household duties. Care of the rec frigerator is of prime importance thego days when food and fuel must be saved. Mabel stegner, Home Economics consultant, gives these rules which the very young home war worker should learn and put into effect.
 How about your cooling un!tp When cooling units are encased ifl ice they don't do their job well. Never let the ice get more than q fourth Of an inch thick. How often you defrost depends upon the tem- rerature, the humidity, whether you keep liquid foods covered in the refrigerator, and many other things.
 Motors are precious things these days. Many refrigerator motors made in the last few years are permanently sealed in oil and need no oiiing. If your refrigerator does need olling, Dc sure 10 follow the manufacturers directions. Keep your instruction card handy and, better still, mark the date on your calendar or in an engagement book.

Washington In one of Wash- ington's teeming Slum nreas--Sel- dom seen by Starry-eyed tourists or huStling government officials Q kindly, realistic woman is trying to figure out ways to eat---and live on iS cents day without being too badly nourished.
 She is Q gray-hRlred Sociologist, pr. Gladys Sellew author of standard texts on pediatric nursing and professor in several Washington universities who discovered that many of WaShington's slum fam ilies only have an average of l3 cents to spend on food each day per member.
 OPTICIANS FIGURE O-CENT MINIMUM
 Heaven knows don't advocate living on that much day" says pr. Sellew, I'm just trying to meet an actual situation of e%-. treme poverty in Q realistic way Dr. Sellew maintains that she has never ben able to And any system of meals worked out by professional dietitians for less than 20 cents daily so she has just gone ahead and modified the scientific recommendation ac- eordingly.
 Six years ago the idealistie, but hard-headed soeiologlSt took part of her $7,000-a-year private in- come and bought a dingy red- brick row house In one of WaSh- ington's prize alley districts. She acted with mingled scientific and philanthropic motives. She made friends with the kids In c neigh boring court rife With crime, vice, uncovered garbage and It's in- evitable complement of rats. Soon she had built up an attendance of 30 regulars" at her house, who came for supper and games each night
 In addition, Il Poverello --- as she named the house in memory of St. Francis -- has become 0 rem dezvous for more than hundred others, who come for special birthday parties, club meetings and dancing at which pr. sellew is assisted by some young Catholic student brothers.
 There is a possible daily menu -- more or less balanced-which she says can be concocted for about l3 cents without disrupting the children's family eating habits to any extent.

Now only two loaves of stale bread can be bought for dime inc stead of three; powdered skim milk is up from cents pound to l6 cents; bacon ends are IS cents q pound where they used to be 10 cents. As for sugar--well, it simply means the cocoa isn't so sweet.
