Paper Baking Dishes
Latest Wrinkle in
Throw-Away Utensils
Wide Variety Of Time
Savers Available in
Wood Pulp Products

Paper milk bottles are no novelty
to housewives. But the latest addi-
ton to a growing list of new paper
household helps-baking dishes
may come as somewhat of a sur
prise.
Any one who has ever been to
New Orleans will remember the de
luxe dinners served by some of that
city's world-renowned restaurateurs
-pompano en- papier. Now Mrs.
America. who may not be able to find
the pompano. can work the same
trick with the less exotic salmon.
A genuinely practical item, the
new paper baking dish comes in a
variety Of sizes and shapes and is
priced so reasonably that the thrift
lest housewife need have no aualms
about discarding it. 1t is advan-
tageous, too, to be able to move
dish and contents from oven to
table intact, the Creole touch.
Use Container as Dish.
Another time-saver is the indi-
Vidual breakfast food carton. One
opens such a container, pours sugar
and milk. or honey and cream on
the cereal and eats from the box.
This saves washing cereal bowls for
a large family and is ideal for
breakfast-bolting business girls who
eat and run. usually leaving un-
washed dishes in the sink all day.
The list of paper products is al
most endless, running the gamut
from paper toothpaste tubes, pressed
paper compacts and cardboard lip
stick containers to carpets now using
Kraft paper backing in place of no
longer available jute. And many of
these items are woodpulp deriva-
tives made from what was once con-
sidered waste.
Products Listed.
Paper napkins, tab1ecloths, chem
ically treated dust rags, dishcloths
and other inexpensive throwaway
articles also are proving themselves
great conveniences. Water-resistant,
washable paper place mats in at
tractive flower design patterns are
practical as well as smart. Labor
saving also are paper plates and
serving dishes. ingeniously designed
to resemble fine china, which dis
pense with dishwashing on hot, sui
try nights and leave hostesses after
dinner leisure for their guests.

or one that Is slightly upholstered
following the same body line. His
creations have the seat tipped slight
ly backward 50 that the body weight
of the sitter is taken up through the

shoulder blades and under the knees
There are long chairs made of
plywood steamed and pressed into
shape which gives body support
from the back OF the neck to the
ankle. One Of these follows closely
the angles Of the canvas deck chair
that has given us comfort at the
beach for 80 many years. Another
fashioned on the same general plan
uses flowing curve rather than
angles to give the same support.
Sectional Sofas Built.
Manufacturers have begun to CON-
struct sectional sofas and chairs on
these general structural lines.
Padded and upholstered they are
very comfortable. To be sure, yo,,

II you are used to that, 1t will take
you some time to accustom your
spine to q harder surface. But try
sitting on these new chairs for an
hour or two and you will find that
they are expertly designed for
proper body support.
Many of these new posture chairs
are traditional in outline, 50 that
they will go well with any type of
furniture or In any interior. The
secret of their comfort Is In their
shape.
The principle Of this construction
is not new. Some of the most ia

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

The war has demanded many new
adjustments. One important one is
the new chair now being shown in
the shops.
For many a year we have bought
chairs with heavy coil springs and
deep upholstery. We thought we
could not be comfortable with any
thing else. In spite of all the physi-
cal culturists told us about our fig
ures we still wanted to luxuriate In
deep upholstery for comfort.
When there were springs no longer
for furniture backs, seats and cush-
ions several chair manufacturers
made seating equipment with padded
areas which might be removed later
for the substitution Of spring cush-
ions. But the real secret Of COM
fort Is rot in deep upholstery-but
in the angle of repose which Is built
into the chair.
New Design Followed.
The old-fashioned rocking chair
Is an example of this. The back
ward tilt of this chair throws some
OF the body weight onto the lower
back. The adirondack chair and
even the dentists chair incorporate
this same plan, and give a certain
amount of comfort, whether cush-
ioned or not.
Modern designers have worked
along this principle in fashioning
new chairs. 1t is quite possible their
research will give us comfort for
the future without either springs or
deep cushions.
AnalyZing the designs of the vari-
Gus craftsmen it is easy to under
stand that the main frame of their
chairs Is designed to follow the body
lines and to give a lifting support
where it is needed.
Also the designer in wood uses
the springlike quality of laminated
wood frame with plywood support

Included in the trades are such
classifications as angle-furnaceman,
bitumastic applier, clipper, galvah-
izer, joggler, layer-out, loftsman,
puncher, scarpher, and roller.
In addition, many trades common
ly known are also required. Among
these are welders, carpenters, plumb
ers, pattern makers, molders, join
ers, craftsmen, coppersmiths, cab
met makers, blacksmiths and boil
ermakers.
A very high percentage Of the ex-
panding shipyard payrolls represent
men and women who had no trade
knowledge and experience a few
years ago. The privately owned
shipyards have trained and educat.

A Pocket Guide to India IL the
latest in the series Of booklets is
sued for the benefit Of our armed
forces in foreign lands, the war de-
partment has announced.
The inhabitants Of India are the
real Indians, and our troops should
call them that, disregarding that
mistake Columbus made, the guide
advises. It offends them to be spo-
ken of as natives, a term they con-
slider as connecting inferiority. While
shy and reserved toward foreigners,
Indians are responsive to friendly
treatment.
In this ancient land, more than
half as large as the United States
but with three times as many people,
our troops must be careful to respect
the customs, the guide warns. There
is nothing funny about the term,
sacred cow" in India. Cows and
bulls are sacred to Hindus, and no
Hindu would kill one. Also sacred
are monkeys and peacocks, and the
turban worn by the Indian; Ameri-
cans must avoid touching a turban.

Meat Must Be Thoroughly
Prepared Before Canning

Miss Alma Garvin, nutrition spe-
cialist Of Ohio State university, says
meat can be canned at home sue
cessfully at any season, but this
method of food preservation always
requires exact attention to detail.
Only meat which Is Arm, has good
color, and Is clean and free from
contamination should be canned.
Best results will be obtained when
a pressure cooker Ii used In meat
canning, but the job can be success
fully done by the water bath method
of processing. II water bath Is
used, the container must be deep
enough to hold a rack which will
allow jars to set at least one inch
under the surface Of the water. With
either the pressure cooker or the
water bath method, good jars and
seals are essential.
Meat to be canned should be roast
ed, boiled, or fried long enough to
heat II through thoroughly before 1t
Ii placed In the cans. The meat cut
into uniformly sized pieces then
should be placed In clean, hot jars
which are to be filed to within one
half inch Of the top.
Enough hot broth from the meat
or hot water should be added to COW
er the meat, the top of the jars
should be wiped with clean cloth,
and the jars partially sealed. The
meat then goes into the processing
unit The average processing time
required with pressure cooker Is
one hour; and the required time Is
about three hours II the water bath
method is used.

Native Drivers Submerge for
Pearl Catches of Venezuela

Hundreds of small boats in the
pearl-fishing feet off Venezuela's
Margarita island are reported max
ing a record-breaking catch since
the signal-gun opened the season,
the second week In January, after
a closed season Of more than two
years.
Pearling has been outlawed for a
year at time, but this restriction
proved inadequate to preserve the
oyster supply. Fishing Is now per-
mitted for five or six months Of ev-
cry third year.
Forty years ago Venezuelan pearls
brought well over a half million dol
lars in the Paris market. Values
gradually declined until 1912 when
$4,000 worth was exported. From
1912 to 1917 values increased more
than tenfold. France normally

AIR RAID LAW

Air raid protection regulations
governing blackouts and alerts, prac-
tice or actual, are now State law, w.
Frank Roberts, of the Maryland
Council of Defense, announced.
The regulations, essentially the
same as those promulgated by the
Third Service Command of the U. s.
Army last February, were adopted
by the Councils executive committee
and were filed with the Court of APP
peals and the Department of Legis-
lative Reference several days ago,
Mr.. Roberts said.
Under the Civilian Defense Act
passed by the Maryland Legislature,
the adoption by the executive COM
mittee of the Council and the subse-
quent filing of the regulations makes
them law.
The Act provides for penalties
ranging UP to $4,000 fine or year
in jail, or both for violations of the
blackout regulations.
The new regulations also provide
that violators may be prosecuted by
local magistrates or justices of the
peace, which was not possible before
due to the absence of a State law,
Mr.. Roberts said.

Harvesting Oats

To harvest the oats for grain o.
hay, or let the dairy cows harvest
it, is a question which many farmers
debate.
There is a slightly larger margin
of profit in harvesting it for hay,
provided conditions are favorable,
experts say. On the other hand no
harvesting expense or manual Ia
Dor are involved when the cows do
it. Moreover, feed often lost during
bad weather at harvest time is
saved. It will pay farmers who
have an ample supply of good per-
manent pasture and sufficient labor
to harvest their. oats. But if suf-
ficient permanent pasture is lacking
it would be profitable to give the
pasture a rest and let the cows har-
vest the oats, experts say.
