HOME FRONT FORECAST Baby Needs Food As We'll As Shoes; He'll Get Both

The Bureau of Agricultural Ec- onomics reports that milk prices have remained steady in city mar kets this month. It is expected that the increased dairy subsidy pay ments will keep them level through out the year. A new pricing order is forthcoming to whittle the prices on fancy cheeses down nearer to prices of cheddar cheese.
 ALL GODS CHILLUN ...
 Shoe-Shoppers will have field day the first three weeks in May. A new shoe, stamp, as yet undes- ignated, will be good the first of May. Added good news is that from May to 29. some low-priced children's shoes will be ration-free. These will range from children's sizes 81s through 12, and misses and little boys sizes 12h through 3. There is an estimated stock of 5,000000 pairs of these low-priced shoes. but their release for sale under the top retail price of $1.60 is voluntary, so you may have to shop around.
 ODDS AND ENDS
 More grapes will be needed for raisins to feed the armed services this year, so there probably will be few fresh grapes seen in the mar kets. Maximum prices are go- ing t0 be established for all dates, including fresh ones, now uncon- trolled and selling at very high prices in some eases.

BY WILINAM E. MCKINNEY AmeEica'S Card Authority

In certain types of hands 1t is necessary to make what might be termed psychic bids; in reality they are bids which lay the ground work for the correct contract. When I saw today's hand played, the bid ding went as shown in the box, When South bid four spades, the was amazed to hear North pass. South had opened the bidding with one club. Over one spade he had bid two diamonds. a constructive bid.
 North, with his six-card diamond suit, should have sensed imme- diately that there was a slam in the hand, and that South's four-spade bid over four diamonds was not signing the hand of. South had bid clubs and diamonds, and now supported spades. Certainly North eshould have bid either five dia- monds or five spades.
 There is on trouble in making a small slam. Declarer does not even have to take the heart flnesse. He can throw the heart away on the ace of clubs, give up diamond and ruff any other losing diamonds

starring John Charles Thomas, has 8 pet peeve."
 I'm always hearing about the 12-year-old average mentality of radio listeners" fumes Nesbitt. Tt simply isn't true. It's Q libel. Since better music and drama are reach- ing into the little towns and far spaces beyond the reach of all cul- tural programs except radio, my mail and other sources of informa- ton prove to me that the public generally is hungry for these con- tacts with the world-but more than that. their appreciation is cri- tically mature.
 "The songs they ask John Charles Thomas to sing, the friendly tips they send me for story themes, are indicative of well developed tastes, and the letters come from every where.
 Constantly the demand increases for more outstanding broadcaSts-I hear this from producers who are presenting dramatic shows, as well as the musical and narrative type of breakfasts. Even the listeners who are young in years are making their demands that must be taken into consideration.
 "The youngsters, bless 'em, listen to the radio before they're old enough to be allowed to go to the theaters - so what we broadcast must be aimed at our juvenile au- dience as well as their parents. But the best thing about 1t all is that. with the possible exception of choosing descriptive words, which the younger group will undershtand, the intelligence level of broadcaStS is praised in proportion to their research and Knowledge e-imparting values by audiences.
 "So don't derSde tie rublic's men, tality," concluded Nesbitt, because they enjoy and praise the best en- tertainment available over the air waves"

From Three Lamb Chops, Five Teaspoons of Fat

We visited Mrs. A. in her three room apartment and found her a conscientious fat-saver who turned in about three pounds a month.
 That's possible" she said, be cause I save fat rengiously, and drain out the last drops. My hus band and I don't like fried foods, so I don't reuse much fat, but l can certainly use the extra ration points get for 1t as we have only two ration books"
 he showed us the meat she had bought for luncheon. Three should CT lamb chops, already 50 closely trimmed practically no white was visible beyond the pink meat.
 Wise Butcher
 My butcher knows I want meat, not fat, when I buy chops" she explained as she produced them, "so he always trims them closely"
 She reached for the frying pan, but we pointed out that she would get more fat from them if she brailed the chops, She humored us, saying she preferred them that way.
 When the chops had been under the broiler long enough to be nicely brown on each side, the broiler pan yielded 2 1-2 teaspoonfuls of fat, which really surprised us.
 Out real chance to demonstrate fat saving came later, however, when she cleared away the dishse. We stopped her just in time to res- cue the bones and scraps left on the lates from the garbage pail.

firmly they may be spliced with sides and ends.
 KEEPS BEDDING FRESH :, .. ,.
 An extra sheet may be folded In half and placed across the bed, one edge well above the shoulders, the other below the hips, and tuck ed in firmly. This is called a draw sheet, because it may be drawn out and replaced when soiled, without changing the whole bed.
 To protect the blankets the bed- spread may be folded over the up- per edges and tucked under; the top sheet then folded back over the spread for about six inches. Or a clean towel or strip of muslin may be pinned over the edge of the blankets next to the patients face and changed when it becomes soil- ed. There is nothing more offensive to a sick person than soiled bed- ding about his face and mouth.
 The bedding should not be So tight over the feet that it is un- comfortable on the toes. To pre- vent this make a box pleat, length wise, in the bedding before tuck ing it under the mattress, so the feet will have room to move about.

as he might have in the old days. Tt doesn't mater about the car - since you weren't hurt2" More than likely he would say, "Well you sure fixed things up fine for us this time. Now we'll go on foot for the dura- tion.'
 NO COUPONS FOR THE CHIVALRY
 And the man who gives pret- ty girl a lift in hi car Is as likely as not to take her up on her suggestion not to go out of his way to take her home-but just to let her off any where convenient to him. Chivalry doesn't stretch these days to vast ing gasoline.
 And you frequently read in di. vorce proceedings about husbands fighting unchivalrously for custody of the faimly alarm clock or a share in the canned produce of the victory garden.
 So don't be concerned, you brides, if your husbands are more concerned over the steaks you burn than over fingers you blister.
 Men are unflatteringly practical these days.
