Storing Butter

IN REGARD to the instructions
for storing butter for winter use,
according to a government bulletin
which I have, a brine of three parts
water and one of salt is recommend
ed and the water need not be boiled.
Stone or glass containers are adj
vised for storage, however. I have
been successful in using tin cans in
which the butter is packed and COW
cred with brine, sealed and stored.
/ use a can one size smaller than the
container as a mold, such as a No.
2 can as a mold for a No. ~ con-
tainer.
Cut both ends out of the mold, set
the a on the butter parchment
and pack the butter solidly, then
use of the cut-out ends to press
it out. One or more papers win be
needed, depending IN the size of the
mold. They need not be tied as the
rolls of butter fit snugly. A very
small amount of brine is needed TO
cover the butter.
Regardless of the method of stor-
ing, the most important thing is TO
wash the butter thoroughly so that
no buttermilk is left in. - MRS

IT'S human nature for the sports dub to
i Tipe about his weak backhand or wobbly
putting, and to proclaim that the exasperat-
ingly adept champion is lucky stiff But if he
realized the prices most champions have paid
to get to the top and stay there, he'd con-
gratulate himself on the anguish he's avoided.
Veteran Gene Sarazen, former National and
PGA golf champion, can tell you. In 1927 he
started foundering, and asked himself, Am
through"
But instead of throwing in the sponge,
he turned to q legalized instrument of
torture known as q training club. This is
bludgeon twice the weight of an ordinary
club, which smooths out kinks in golfers
swing. Gene kept at it, finally resumed COL
lecting winners checks, and in 1892, 10 years
after his first victory. he bagged another Open.

National Junior Indoor Championship.
Laura Lou, who'll be Is Monday, could
draw inspiration from Sarah Palfrey, national
doubles champ in 1880 at the age of l8. For
almost decade the diminutive Bostonian
failed again and again to bag the singles cham
pionship, an oversight which earned her the
unflattering sobriquet of Almost Girl" One
reason was her understood backhand.
Elwood Cooke, ranking male player,
recognized this deficiency, and advised her to
learn topspin drive. After the 1899 national
tournament in September, Sarah journeyed to
the Pacific Coast and started working on it.

year, she took four lessons week, getting up
at 6 am, changing buses three times, raising
a painful crop of blisters.
After these lessons Sarah used to 20 over
to Berkeley and beg anybody she could corral
to hit balls to her backhand. No games, no
thrill of competition - just backhands.
And did this sacrifice pay off with the
national singles title the following year?
1t did not! In 1910 Sarah failed-to win any
singles tourney of importance.
Discouraging? Yes, but she stuck by her
guns The next year was different story. In

told several conflicting stories and
mother thought her lying. The dis

of all that, having picked her up
in the busy Palace bar and, it de-
velops, even having stolen so pounds
from the works to give her.

There is no single mood in the
manner in which Mr.. Priestley sets
forth this threat of a scandal in the
midst of solid British family
Sometimes the antics on the stage
are wildly funny. At other times
they are just as wildly melodra-
matte. A note of suspense creeps in
now and then. And in the end
the author pulls a trick that had
best be left to the discovery of
audiences, by which everything he
has done Is given a certain legiti-
macy.
All of this is just so much sugar.
coating, of course, by which the
playwright hoped to make AN In
spector Calls" more palatable medi-
cine for England than an impas-
stoned plea from the lecture plat
form. Mr.. Priestley's argument is
with the old guard, who must learn,
he says, that man cannot live for
himself alone If he does not want to
see 1t all end in blood and anguish
He has a point there, and he fin
ally gets it across, by letting son
and daughter see the magnitude OF
their sins, while mother, father and
fiance are selfishly concerned only
with the possibilities of scandal. Mr.
Priestley does leave the f1ance wav-
ering, indicating he still holds out
some hope for the younger genera
ton of old guard capitalists.

Gratitude for enjoyment received
from AN Inspector Calls" is due
to Mr.. Mitchell, Mr.. Cooper and the
others in the cast more than to Mr.
Priestley. 1t may wander back and
forth between comedy, fantasy and
melodrama while on the way to its
destination as a drama, but 1t Is
played exceptional well by its orig
inal New York cast.
Mr.. Mitchell, for his return to
the legitimate theater, has chosen
an extremely difficult role. AS the
inspector of the title. he is called
upon to be q believable police in
vestigator and at the same time in
dicate that he really is one of those
supernatural presences who actu-
ally isn't there at all. He manages
it with the skill OF a man who has
been acting for long time and has
learned his share of tricks.
He is oversha dowed by Mr.. Cooper
simply because the inspector is over
shadowed by the fine old Tory Carl
cature the author has written. Mr.
Cooper has himself a great time
dominating the characteristic Eng
lish dining room Stewart Clancy
has devised. When he Is spouting
Colonel Blimpisms or spluttering a
once brave sentence of into COM
plete unintelligibility, Mr.. Cooper is
very funny man.
Excellent support is lent these
two by Doris Lloyd as the mother,
Rene Ray as the daughter, John
Buckmaster as her fiance and John
Merivale as the son. Sir Cedric
Hardwicke has given Mr.. Priestley a
firm helping hand. too, getting more
drama with the direction than there
is in the writing.
Evening star., 1948-03-30

they give Mr.. Priestley every sup
port he deserves and possibly little
more before the evening is out.
They may not help the playwright
add any further proof to his thesis,
but they do use his play as plat
form on which they engage in some
highly electric dramatic sparring.
Mr.. Priestley is not the writer to
shy away from any thoughts of
stretching the repeatedly already
long arm Of coincidence. He will, in
fact, wrench it Off at the shoulder
II that is likely to set up dramatic
situation for him.
