The business woman housekeeper
has always had a more difficult
problem in planning, marketing for
and preparing quick meals than has
the housekeeper, who can devote
more time TO these problems. She
has been accustomed to using meats
which need only a short time for
cooking. although these were often
more expensive than others. She
kept on her shelves supply of
canned products which she could
call upon when she had no time to
market.
Today she cannot always get the
chops and steaks, the slices of ham
and the chopped meat which she
used in turn. She may have to take
a roast or a pot roast and make it
do for several meals. This means
that the original cooking must be
done, or at least begun, the night
before. In this case she should plan
to start her roasting as soon as her
stove is free from dinner prepara-
tons. Cooking should be completed
long enough before bedtime so that
cooked meat will be sufficiently cool

to go into the refrigerator to re-
main until dinner time the next day,
Breakfast may present another
problem, since canned fruit and
tomato juices are on the rationed
list. Fresh fruits should not be
prepared the night before they
are to be used. Instead of squeezing
orange juice the houSekeeper will
find it time saving, at least for her
self, to serve halved oranges. If a
sharp knife is run around the pulp,
between it and skin, these are easy
to eat. 1t is not necessary to sep
arate each segment as it Is with
grapefruit A new suggestion as to
squeezing grapefruit quickly for juice
is to cut each half into quarters
and to use the orange reamer for
this purpose. Applesauce or stewed
apples, while this fruit is plentiful,
may sometimes be used for break
fast Either one may be prepared
while dinner is being cooked. It Is
not necessary to pare the apples
for sauce if after they are soft they
are pressed through coarse

POT ROAST.
The method of preparation and
time Of cooking pot roast will de-
pend largely upon the original quail
| ity Of meat. If one of the more ten
| der cuts is available the roast may
be cooked without any addition of
water and if Dutch oven or any
| type of heavy kettle is used the
roast may be rare in the center and
well done on the outside as accom-
plished by oven roasting. II less ten

liquid must be added and cooking
time increased. A four-pound tender

while less tender cut will need at
least three hours.

Use Your Own Clever Fingers to Give Your Own Home
Added Charm and Interest in the Sprinstime

We might Just as well make up
our minds that this Is not the
spring to purchase bright new DOS
sessions for the house. The stores
are we'll stocked with necessities
and are doing their utmost to fur
nish the things which people must
have as promptly as possible. House
mold services, such as upholstering
slip-eovering, awning and screen
construction are available. but
Washington workshops are under
stated, materials are hard to get
and the increased demands of new
people, who must have house fur
nishlngs, makes it necessary that
those who can get along with what
they have should do just that.
Plan to depend upon your in
genuity and your own two hands
to give your house a new effect this
spring. Take q tour through the
house, decide what needs to be done,
and see just how much may be
accomplished without the purchase
Of new equipment. Suppose you had
10 spend points" in your house as
you do in the grocery store! You
would consider some time, and cir
cumvent wherever possible. making
do and making over, before you
would invest precious coupons
for frillS.
There is no doubt about the fact
that new touch here and there
gives a lift" to your house. And
many of these new "pickeru ppers'
are possible and available. But
select them carefully and be sure
that the money paid out and the
possession acquired pays dividends
in quality and effect.
For instance, suppose you have
plain coloTed summer Slip covers
that are still good but faded. The
zippers on these are valuable, the
material is hard to get this year, and
the labor on new coverings costs
money. At home you may dip the
slip covers in a dye bath which will
freshen the color Of the background.
You may applique huge bouquets
cut from Powered chintz on the back
and seat cushions and possibly the
armrests of the covers. Immediately
a whole new effect will be created at
little expense, no loss of vital ma
terials and no outside labor need.
Nothing but your own ingenuity and
time is demanded for this, and
though We all know time is precious
this year for all of us an attractive
home is equally so.
Window boxes, bulbs which bloom
indoors and trailing green vines are
one Of the most striking forms Of
interior decoration. Here again
wonderful effects created with little
effort will transform the house in
the spring. Window boxes set
against the window sill may have
bright gerahiums for decoration at
the base of the window. Trailing Ivy
or other green foliage may be trained
up the window frame and by the
first of May will pinch hit" for
summer draperies. The addition of
brackets between the windows with
potted plants or hanging glass con-
tanners at the top window corners
will make a delightful springtime
arrangement. The good old-fash
toned pastime of Swapping slips
with your neighbors and friends
will provide much plant material

Yours is clear. we'll written let
ter, and I appreciate your thought
fulneSS in making it brief. I am
most happy to be able to give you
sound and helpful advice about your
problem. l sincerely urge you to
follow the suggestions I shall now
outline to you.
1t is the opinion of one of the
outstanding pediatricians of this
country that children who are in
clined to be left-handed should
never be forced or guided towards
the use of their right hands. This
opinion is agreed with by many,
many pediatricians and psychia-
trists, as well as a famous doctor
who has turned the attention of
his training and skill to the treat
ment of handicapped children, in
Guiding those suffering with trou
bleS of the central nervous system.
This doctor goes so far in his be-
lief that Child's natural-handed-
ness should be allowed to develop
unhampered that he has on occa-
sion made elaborate tests, requiring
quite a period Of time, to determine
which hand child really prefers.
Having discovered which handed the
youngSter is, he has been known to
require his little patient to carry the
other hand in sling in order that
the hand the child should use is
put into action entirely until the
correct handedness is firmly estab-
ished.
You are asking-why is this, and
what are the results Of not allow
ing child to use the hand he
prefers, be it right or left?
The reason the doctors do not
believe it is wise to attempt to train
the left-handed child to use his
right hand is that this interferes
with preference of the brain, thus
causing a conflict that can result
in nervous tension that may be-
come manifested in speech diff
culties, face twitching, eye batting
and the like.
During the first year of life it Is
hard to tell which hand a baby
prefers, and he may be offered toys
and so on by placing them nearer
his right hand, but if he shows a
decided preference for the left hand
his wish to use this hand should be

Threat Of Paper Scarcity

NEW YORK, Sept. Or. j. Cul-

Paper Co., said yesterday that while
efforts of newspapers, Government
and the paper industry were show

threat of paper mill shutdowns and
of paper scarcity from lack of
