Store Meats
Safely

Since many homemakers nov
must shop for several days at one
time, it Is imperative that they know
how to store fresh meats and poul-
try correctly. Improperly stored
foods invariably result in waste and
1t is the patriotic duty Of every
homemaker to preserve and use to
best advantage every bit Of the
wholesome goodness of meats as
well as all other foods. Moreover,
If housewives neglect to store meats
properly, meat ration points may
not be forgotten, but they are Ger
tainly gone.
AS soon as the meat Is brought
home from the market, remove the
heavy wrapping paper. This is very
important for the paper acts as an
insulator against the cold Of your
refrigerator. When meat or fowl
remains wrapped, even though II
is kept in the refrigerator, 1t may
spoil.
Home economists advise that all
fresh meats be stored in porcelain
enameled, glass or china containers
The smooth nonporous finish acts a.
protective barrier between the
meat and the utensil. As a result
the food cannot acquire metallic
taste, nor is there any danger OF
discoloration. Moreover, meats re.
tain moisture and freshness longer
If stored in this way.
Ground meats especially must be
stored with care. They should be
placed directly under the freezing
unit and used as soon as possible
These meats should never be kept
longer than "a hours unless they
are frozen, since ground meat is
more perishable than other cuts.

variably forsakes her for some

So I think that a woman who is

Dear Miss Dix: Can an educated,
ambitious woman be happy mar
ried to an uneducated man with
no ambition? I have been going
with a young man of fine character,
but who has not even fourth-grade
education. He can hardly read and
write and he is a poor conversation
alist. He has no trade or special
ability and, therefore, no steady
work. I have tried in every way to
get him to go to night school, but he
refuses to do so.
For myself, have a high school
education only, and after leaving
school I secured a position as an
ordinary typist and switchboard
operator. But I have studied and
improved myself until now am In
charge of a department in the ofhce
and private secretary to one OF the
executives.
Do YOU think that 1t would be ad-
visable for me to marry this man?
PHYLLIS.
Answer-No, I think you would
both be miserable.
A marriage may be happy and
successful in which the husband Is
superior to the wife, but never II
the wife is superior to the husband.
Very often an educated and ambl-
tious man will marry an ignorant
and inert woman and seemingly be
content with her. Apparently he
wilksnot even notice her lapses IN
grammar, or that she sits up silent
and tongue-tied when other people
discuss topics of the day or things
that they have read IN books or
magazines.
But it sears a woman's very soul
with shame if her husband is not
able to hold his own with other men
and shows himself ignorant and
stupid. To her his blunders are
worse than crimes and she could
forgive him more readily for a mis-
deed than for a misspelled word.
There is this great fundamental
difference between a man and a
woman: A man likes to look down on
the woman he loves. He would al
ways prefer his wife to be smaller
and weaker in body than he is, and
to know less, so that he may be
an oracle to her and that Is why
intelligent men often marry morons
and live happily with them.
But a woman must look up to
the man she loves. She must respect
and admire him, and this she can
never do if she knows more than he
does and has to be continually try
ing to correct him.
It is worse still when the wife is
the ambitious one, when she is the
driving one, with strength and
energy, who wants to get along,
and the husband is lazy and shift
less and purposeless, content to live
any old way so long as it does not
call for his making any especial
effort.
That sort of a husband runs an
energetic woman frantic because she
is forever trying to do the thing
that can't be done, to put her own
brains into his head, her own pep
into his pepless soul, her own back
bone into his spineless, jellyfish
body. And because he is weak and
f1abby while she is strong and vital,
because the gray mare is the better
horse, she comes to despise him and
to have only pitying, contemptuous
affection for him that is far and
away from the sort of love that a
woman wants to feel for husband.
And no man long loves the wife
who is goad in his side, who nails
him to the work he hates, who
pushes him on to make the effort
that he loathes making. Moreover,
q mans vanity demands that his
wife shall admire him, and when he

'R0und About the House

The household cotton crop Is
ready for picking. Cotton has
proved itself, beyond a doubt, as
the perfect material for home deco
ration, now that we are all doing
our own washing and ironing. For
cotton Is more often colorfast and
shrinkproof, responds beautifully to
soap and water, and is as easy to
iron as the children's wash dresses.
With summer plans to be made
now simplify your housekeeping
and decorating problems by the
use of lightweight cotton fabrics.
For the bedrooms you will find frilly
muslin bedspreads, with matching
dresser skirts and curtains for the
windows. Nothing makes a room
cooler or more refreshing looking
than these colorful sheer accesso-
ries. Many Of us have used these
in former years for summer only,
but their tubbable propensities make
them an all-year favorite these days.
In case you are one Of us who
cannot find time for ironing your
choice will be the tufted candlewick
type. These are most attractive
with various colors worked onto
white or pale-tinted spreads. They
need only a quick splashing in hot
suds, careful rtnsing and drying
They should be hung over a line
at full length, pulled into shape
with edges matching so they will
dry with an even hem. To keep
the fluffy quality which makes
them so charming when new, brush
up the tufts with a whisk broom
just before the spread is completely
dry. Many housekeepers solve the
drapery problem by buying two
matching counterpanes and using
one of these to make window dra-
peries, which may be done by, split

Can some one tell me how to
make the pickles found in one of
our downtown Romanian restau-
rents? They are placed in a large
dish on each table. The pickle
started out in life as a very small
tomato. They are picked when
green, a very small stem being left
on. There is strong flavor of gar
lie. They may be kosher, wouldn' t

to use all small undeveloped green

Good wood may be washed and

twice year. Nothing else will re-

wood pores for freshening with oil
