Some homemakers have beer using mineral oil for family cook ing when cooking oils and shorten ing are unavailable. The practice is condemned by health authorities The Council on Foods and Nutrt- ton of the American Medical Asso- citation issues warning against the use of mineral oil,
 "The effects of its prolonged use have not been thoroughly investi- gated, but there is sufficient evil dence of possible harmful effects to justify the conclusion that it's indiscriminate use in foods or in cooking is not in the interests of good nutrition, and any such use should be under careful super vision of a physician"
 Feeling Your Oats
 Oats gets the spot light. The Faminine Emergency Committee urges Americans to use oatmeal in place of wheat, which is urgently needed in starvation areas, There are several forms of oatmeal.
 First, there's the coarsely ground kernel, which is true oatmeal. Then, there's the more familiar form called rolled oats, prepared by steaming and then flattening the kernels between steel rollers.
 Finally, there's the time-saving variety called quick-cooking rolled oats. To produce this, the kernels are cut and flattened even thinner than for the regular type of rolled oats.
 New Bread Fools Experts
 Eleven of the IS men and women who participated in the first public sampling of bread and rolls baked with the new emergency flour were unable to tell the dif- ference between these products and those baked with regular white flour.
 The unusual test was made with bread and rolls baked from reel pes developed by Hotels Statler Company, Inc, after extensive experiments under the direction of John L. Hennessy, chairman of the board and civilian food consultant to the Secretary of War.
 Most of the men and women who were given pieces of bread made from the regular and emer- gency flour were unable to de- tect any difference. One said he thought regular bread was a trifle lighter in color, and two others said they believed the new bread waSS just a tiny bit coarser in texture. The others said they couldn't tell one from the other"

Columbia Pictures screen adap- tation of the George Abbott Broad way stage production of F. Hugh Herbert's smash hit, "Kiss and Tell" starring Shirley Temple and currently showing at the Strand Theater, is the years most looked- for screen event.

 Others in the cast are Jerome Courtland, Walter Abel, Robert Benchley, Porter Hall, Tom Fully Virginia WelleS, Katharine Alex ander, Scott Mckay and Mary Philips
 The screen play was written by Herbert. It was directed by Richard Wallace.

get faster results at less expense by accepting few invitations to Hollywood parties.
 Arthur Kennedy, William Holden George Montgomery and Wayne Morris were grousing in concert the other day about the labor shortage and the resultant rundown condi- ton of their homes. Suddenly Ken nedy had an idea. What kind of manual skills do you fellows haveP" he demanded. Morris confessed that he's pretty fair plumber; Mont- gomery admitted a first hand knowl- edge of paper hanging and plaster work; Holden bragged about a job he once had as a carpenters help CT. Fine" said Kennedy. T know something about interior decora- tion. Let's quit complaining and go to work" Then and there they or ganized labor pool, pledging them selves to work in rotation on one an- others homes until the needed im- provements are made. More "com- munism" of that kind, and less of the soap box variety, and Hollywood would be a better town.
 There has been so much publicity about long lines of would-be patrons waiting to buy tickets for Howard Hughes seXy spectacle, "The Out law" that it's only fair to report the sensational popularity of two other recent attractions, if only to put Filmville in a proper light. There was a line of music lovers, three blocks long, waiting to buy ducats for the opening concert of the Philharmonic season, and the huge Hollywood Bowl was much too small to provide seats for the null titude that attended Easter Sunrise Services.
 According to trade papers, MCsM's decision to film Robinson Crusoe, :" now set for Spencer Tracy, without injecting any love interest, is risky because movies without strong TO- mantle themes seldom have been box-office winners in the past" Boshl One doesn't need to look be- yond Tracy's own record to refute that fear. Two of his greatest hits were Boys Town" and Captains Courageous" both devoid of TO- nance.

Wet Feet, Exposure Never Result in Cri

 If you were going to fly your plane through the mountains for the first time you'd pay more heed to the opinion of a pilot who has made numerous flights over the hump" (dlmalayas) than to the notions of one who has flown two ol three hours and never more than a mile high.
 For the same reason I believe the opinion of an experienced hunter, fisherman, surveyor, lumberman, soldier, sailor or arctic explorer outweighs the notion of any num- Der of flreside philosophers, editors, doctors, health beard politicians, mollycoddles, born or brass child specialists" and health column conductors, concerning the effects of exposure, both hypothetical and real. For example the following passage quoted from a personal communication from Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who lived five years in the extreme north:
 e. from pages 538 to 543" (of THE FRIENDLY ARCTTC) one of the worst spells Is described, but there were many others a good deal like it No one in any of our parties has ever, so far as I know, suffered the slight est i'll effect from indefinite ex- posture we waded day after day in ice water when we were travelling over the ocean in sum- mer certainly all my evidence, whether from experience or ob- servation, is completely negative. I have never seen any connection between wet feet and head colds as to catching cold, this oc- cured only when we met stran- gers and not when we happened to get wet"
 So Stefansson's opinion concern ing the effects of exposure to cold, wet and dampness outweighs all the quaint yarns, lectures and scoldings I have received from you dear old grannies, if you get what l mean.
 And here comes another man who knows what exposure means. Lis- ten:

 But any sort of novelty record does great nowadays; The other day Andy Russell got the hiccups and they stuck a microphone in front of his face, put bass fiddle in the background, and sold five thousand copies of the recording.

of food was regarded as crime in this country. Would you be a criminal?
 Before you answer with an in- dignant "NO' to that question, watch for few days to see how much food you throw away, be- cause the children are served larger portions than they can eat, because 1t is troublesome to make appetizing dishes of left-overs, because you cater too much to the food whims of your family.
 It might be a good idea if the garbage collectors, Sho know bet- ter than anybody else how waste ful American housewives are, would be instructed by city fathers to occasionally rate the garbage cans on their routes. LABELS FOR GARBAGE?
 Put a blue sticker on the cans where a minimum of garbage in- dicates 8 thrifty housewife, yell low sticker on the tcans stuffed with food that should have been eaten instead of thrown away.
 Even though food wasting isn't a criminal offense in this country our consciences should make us regard it as such.
 In these times what goes into the garbage can should be consid- cred as important as what goes on the table.

have often said that bidding conventions are too often used as substitute for thinking, and the same theory holds true in the play of the hand. For instance, If you blindly follow the rule Always cover an honor with an honor you will make the mistake that West made on today's hand.
 The opening heart lead was won by declarer with the queen and the ten of spades was led, West covering with the queen. Vests excuse was that he assumed that South held the jack because of his spade bid, but even If that were true, he would accomplish nothing by covering. Certainly South held four spades, so what could West hope to estalish for his partnerp
 The very fact that South led the ten indicated that he probably did not have the jack, and in that case East would have the jack and one spade. Therefore, by playing low, West was bound to make spade trick which would have defeated the contract.
