Duck Goes Farther

TIL chief complaint against a
duck Is that It usually doesn't "go

will feed four, but not sumptuously,
by any means. And duck isn't
cheap. 80 people don't serve 1t as
they would like.

In Havana at . famous restaurant

does stretch this way to feed six

A popular food store on the Ave-
nue. is having a special showing of
herb-seasoned foods starting today
and lasting through Saturday.
You'll want to drop in and do a
little tasting Of these delicacies, to
say nothing Of capturing the secret
for yourself. Today's specially is a
ham basted with barbecue sauce.
This sauce, which Is comparatively
new on the market, has a subtle
blending Of flavors that imparts a
tantalizing goodness when used on
almost any meat. Mighty good on
baked pork chops and spare-ribs,
too. On FRIDAY they will show what
can be done with favored
vinegars in making salad dressings.
Again you'll want to sample this
special dressing on shrimp. Satur-
day will feature canape spreads, hot
mustard sauce on potato chips,
cheese mixed with an aromatic.
herb-seasoned salt that creates a
sure goodness and flavor (users of
this salt say they use 1t In every
thing except coffee and ice cream!)
and cubes of Swiss cheese dipped in
mustard sauce. I know If you like
to discover new tricks in the culinary
line you'll find this showing well
worth a special trip.
While you're browsing around, pick
up a can Of the new applesauce
enriched with apple gold" de-
hcious apple concentrate. We've
always had the feeling that apple
sauce, unless made with real tart
apples, was bit on the fiat side.
We changed over completely after
the first taste of this new product.

the news that dollar-and-cent CELL
tngs have been re-established on

ferent types of stores in the same

POEM WANTED?

HUMIDITY APARTMENT7
From Mrs. B. r., Washington.)
Now I have q question that I
would like to see discussed in your
columns. What Is practical way
to humidity an apartment in the
wintertime? Our apartment is di-
rectly over the boiler room which
serves several other buildings be-
side our own, and In the winter 1t
is usually comfortably warm even
with the hot-water radiators turned
of. But it is always so dry during
the season when heat is necessary
that we and the children wake up
in the morning with our lips and
nasal passages dry and parched.
What is practical way to meet
this situation?
We have not found vessels Of
water on or, behind the radiators
to be especially helpful, under cur
conditions very little water evapo-
ates from them. We try to keep
a lot Of growing plants around the
house, on the theory that they
transpire moisture, but 1t has be-
came nuisance to have to brush
aside the fern fronds whenever you
want to look into a cupboard door.
T wonder If the problem cannot be
on the basis Of how
much water has to be added to a
thousand cubic feet OF heated air to
make 1t comfortable, and then tax
ing some figure on how many times
an hour. the air circulates through
an average apartment. This would
indicate how much water would
have to be evaporated into the at
Of an apartment over
night to make 1t comfortable, and
then maybe we could figure out
some kind Of device like the So
called Desert Cooler" to throw up
that much moisture into the air.
The Desert Cooler I have heard
described is an arrangement where
an electric fan Is put behind
damp cloth and the evaporation of
the water cools the air.
Can a housewife whose husband
is an engineer or physicist give us
the advantage of some technical
training on this one?

RONNE EXPEDITION BASE,
Marguerite Bay, Sept. 10 Delayed.
Our first trail party, which left
13 days ago on the start Of a prof.
ected 1,200-mile trip into the inte-
rior, has been ordered to return to
this base.
Since the departure of DR.. Rob-
ert Nichols and his southern sledge
party on September /, have been
advised by radio Of the extraordi-
narf1y bad conditions through which
the party has been inching it's way
south along the coast of Palmer
peninsula in Marguerite Bay. The
"a dogs and four men have been
struggling with two heavily loaded
sledges through IL inches of newly
fallen snow and huge growler fields.
Conditions Unusual.
The unusual weather conditions
have made travelling on the bay ice
extremely dangerous. One to two
inches of thin, new ice cover 20-foot
gaps Of open water. These recently
opened leads in the ice field are
uuC W OllS dltu
which have shifted the bay ice Soft |
snow and slush also cause the dogs
and sledges to bog down completely
in numerous places.
The plane which surveyed their
route two days prior to their depar-
ture was unable to see the hazardous
Ice leads from the air because
of their snow covering,
Radio reports Informed us that
when camping at night it was i'm
possible for the men to keep dry;
slush Ice on the surface kept con-
stand pools of water in their tents
soaking their gear.
Sledges Break Ice. Il
During the difficult daytime jour-
ney, sledges often broke through the
thin surface after the dogs had
passed over safely. The drivers re-
ceived several icy baths but fortu-
nately both they and the sledges
were pulled out by the strong, trust
worthy dogs.
ordered plane flight to the area
in an effort to help the party out of
the existing difficulties. The plane
was unable to land because of the
rough surface, but made recon-
naissance flight further along the
perfected route to see if conditions
would improve with distance. When
the plane reported open leads in the
ice ahead. I ordered the party back
to base at once to reorganize and
make another attempt in a few days.
The present spell of cold weather
GO below zero) should permit the
weakened surface to harden within
the next week. The party is now
hurrying back to camp.
