Before you attempt to peel raw
tomato, massage it lightly with the
dull edge of knife. The peel will
come loose much more easily.
Ordinary starch will often put
whitish cast on black and dark
colored clothes, unless you do
something about it. Put small
amount of leftover coffee-the brew,
not the groundS-into the starch.
When the stove begins to look
dull, but still doesn't quite need new
polish, you can brighten it up by
rubbing it occasionally with waxed
paper.
To prOlong the life of a broom,
dip it in hot soapy water or hot
salt water about once a week; and
always hang the broom up or stand
it on it's handle but never on its
head.
Scissors are not considered a
kitchen utensil, but are handy to
keep in the kitchen to cut up lettuce
and celery, trim fat from meat, and
dice fruits and other vegetables.
IF the wash water is hot, slip each
glass slowly into it edgewise. Putting
it in bottom first or top first may
crack it.
Brown shoes can be dyed black
temporarily if you just polish them
twice with a good grade of black
polish.

If you use rubber gloves when you
scrub floors, put little strips of ad-
hesive tape inside the fingers as
protection against nails in the floor.
Tiny holes in rubber gloves can
often be mended with nail polish.
SCOT can be prevented from COM
ing through a window screen by
covering the outside of the screen
with cheesecloth. It'll catch the
SCOT and can be removed for easy
washing whenever necessary.
When stewed fruit begins to turn
sour, reclaim it by adding a pinch
of baking soda and boiling the fruit
over again for a few minutes.

Cot Walks 420 Miles Only
TO Find Its Master Gone

LEOMINSTER, MASS.-Fluffy, a
one-year-old Angora cat, arrived
home after apparently walking 42C
miles from Buffalo, N. Y. only to
find her master gone.
Ben Hansberry sold his house here
and set out by trailer with his fam
lily for Moses Lake, Wash.
Fluffy went sightseeing during a
one-night stopover in Buffalo. When
she didn't return the next day, the
Hansberrys went on their way.
The cat was weak when she
reached here; her fine fur coat
matted, her claws worn to the pad.
Neighbors took her to an animal
hospital, where she is reported max
ing a good recovery. She will be
flown to the Hansberrys later.

Rose Bush Owner Frightens
Thief With Homemade Alarm

PHILADELPHIA - A rose is a
rose and by any other name would
smell as sweet.
But this is a story about rose
that not only smelled sweet but
sounded pretty.
Walter Hoff awoke one day to
find three of his large and expen-
sive rose bushes missing.
When he regained his composure
he chained wires to the roots of six
remaining bushes and attached the
wires to a basement switch. A tug
of the bush would ring a bell.
For six nights Hoff slept undis.
turbed.
Then early one morning the rose
bell rang.
Up jumped Hoff, up went his
window and away ran the thief,
spade in hand.

FIRST AID to the
- AILING HOUSE.
by Roger C. Whitman

QUESTION: The linoleum in our
kitchen has risen up in a certain
spot. It is inlaid linoleum over a
felt base over plywood. Do you
think if we bored a small hole in
the linoleum and poured some kind
of cement in, it would hold? What
kind of cement would you recon-
mend for this job?
ANSWER: Try this method for
f1attening the bulge: Cut slit in
the bulge, following a line of the
pattern so that it will not show.
Then press linoleum cement under
each side of the slit, working it
well underneath with a Spatula,
or some similar tool. Wipe off sur
face smears promptly. If you cam
not get linoleum cement, use roof
ing cement. Smears of roofing
cement should be promptly wiped
off with turpentine. Then place
weights on top until the cement
has dried hard.
QUESTION: My walls are COW
cred with a very poor quality of
wallboard, which bulges here and
there. It is covered with paper;
but now shows few cracks, which
developed after the furnace was
started. What is the best thing to
do with the walls? The expense is
an item; I'll have to have some
one do all the work.
ANSWER: For a good job it
would be better to take off the
board and replace it with one of
better quality, properly put up ac-
eording to the manufacturer in-
structions; or else nail up new
boards over the old ones. In the
meantime, you might consider
mailing down the bulges as well as
you can, and then covering the
joints with strips of decorative
wood moulding, such as half
round.

Prepare dinner during the early
morning hours so that it will be
crisp and cold when served. Cut
fruit or vegetables for salads, make
dessert and store in refrigerator
during the morning.
Many casserole dishes can be
cooked more quickly If partially
prepared on top of the range, thus
saving oven time.
Use refrigerator desserts. made
early In the day, which save time at

LYNN SAYS:
Keep Kitchen Cool
During Hot Days

It's best to do the main part OF
the cooking early in the day before
it becomes so warm. For example,
roast meat or bake meat loaf in the
morning and serve cold for evening
meal.
Au gratin potatoes may be cooked,
the cheese melted in q hot sauce,
than mixed with potatoes, and the
whole dish heated for IS minutes in

Slivered Green Beans


Tomatoes stuffed with Corn
Wash cauliflower and let stand
in salted water for one-half hour to
remove any insects. Cook in Salted
water for Is to 30 minutes. The to-
matoes should be firm. Wash and
scoop out insides leaving the shell.
Fill this with seasoned kernel corn
to which has been added some
chopped green pepper. These should
be baked with just little water in
the bottom Of the pan. The green
beans should be washed carefully
and picked over for any hard ends,
then sliced lengthwise. They will
take 30 to 40 minutes to cook. The
cauliflower should be placed in the
center Of the platter, then banked
with green beans, and. the tomatoes
with the corn and green pepper are
placed around the green beans.
Serve with melted butter.
ANOTHER PRETTY SUMMER
platter uses entirely different vege-
tables but is very colcrful:
Cabbage with Sliced Carrots
Lima Beans Fried Parsnips
Parboi a large head Of cabbage
for 10 minutes. Remove all the in
side leaves, so that only a few Of
the larger ones remain, leaving q
huge cup. This is filled with carrots
which have been sliced, or creamed
If preferred, and cooked for 20 min
utes. Sprinkle with parsley. Around
this place parsnips which have
cooked for seven to Is minutes,
then fried until golden brown and
crisp in a buttered skillet. Lima
beans are shelled and placed around
that after cooking for 20 to 80 min
utes in boiling, salted water.
Another platter uses a combina-
ton of colorful white, green, yellow
and red vegetables:
Creamed Potatoes
Carrot Strips Beets with Peas
The potatoes are cooked after
peeling, then cubed and creamed.
If they are small leave them whole.
The carrots are cleaned, cut in strips
and cooked just until tender, about
20 minutes. The beets are cooked
with skins, which are slipped off in
cold water after cooking. Scoop a
small hole in the beets and fill with
peas. Place the potatoes in the CEN
ter of the platter, carrots around
those, and the beets and peas around
the carrots.
IF YOU HAVE a sectioned vegeta-
BILE dish, you may like to serve a
variety of sauces with your vege-
tables. Here is a nice variety from
which to choose to add more snap
to vegetables:
Vinegar-BacOn Sauce
Simmer One-Iourtn cup minced
onion in one-fourth cup bacon drip
pings until tender but not brown
Add one-fourth cup vinegar. one
and one-haH teaspoons salt, one
eighth teaspoon pepper and one
eighth teaspoon sugar. Heat and
pour over green beans. brussels
sprouts, cabbage, kale or other
greens.
Cheese Sauce
Place one-half pound Of processed
cheese in the top of double boiler
and add one-half cup of milk as
soon as cheese melts. This is good
with potatoes, cauliflower and
broccoli.

Prairie State
Farmers Fear
New Dust Bowl

DALLAS, TEX.-Out in the prai-
rie states farmers have planted
more than 300 million trees in Is
years. These are the states where
settlers once complained there was
nothing but barbed wire fence to
break mile-a-minute winds from the
North Pole.
Now, says Louis p Merrill, re-
gional soil conservation director for
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma, the interest in tree wind
breaks ''is greater and keener in
many localities than ever before"
Binding dust storms in many OF
the plains states have emphasized
the need for more trees.
The Abilene, Tex, Reporter-News
says it's area is undergoing the most
prolonged drouth in 80 years. The
four-year rain deficiency since 1914
is almost as great as a normal
years fall of 25.17 inches.
Harry Holt, the Reporter-News'
farm editor, says that other parts
Of the Southwest are even drier.
Irrigation projects have failed.
Farmers had a difficult time plant
ing wheat in west Texas. The
drouth has forced livestock off some
ranges until only half the normal
number remain.
Farmers Dread Storms
Large sections have been swept
by roaring. choking sandstorms.
Farmers and city people alike dread
them. They are an awesome phe-
nomenon. When sandstorns be-
come prolonged and severe, dust
BOWL develops.
Some farmers hope the trees are
insurance against this ''dust bowl''
threat. They remember the '30's
when whole sections were made as
barren as the Sahara. Some want
trees for wind-breaks to protect
growing crops even when there's
no threat Of sandstorms. Some just
want to look at trees.
The popular conception Of the
''shelterbelt project" as a wall Of
trees from Mexico to Canada was
product Of imagination born In
"dust bowl days, says Merrill. No
one In authority ever thought Of the
project that way.
The "windbreak" plan - term
preferred by conservation authori-
ties-as part Of coordinated soil
conservation program has spread
to the Rio Grande valley in Texas,
northeastern Arkansas and the gulf
coast prairie region Of Texas and
Louisiana.
Plan Includes California
The plan has reached even to
California, where citrus growers
have established 1000 miles of pro-
tective paintings for their orchards,
and to Wisconsin, which has nearly
5000 miles Of such paintings.
No signs Of a continuous shelter
belt have appeared across the ma
ton. Tree planting has been a mat
ter for individual farmers. In some
cases, efforts have been made to
place the program on conservation
district basis.
Generally the projects are Sue
cess, according to farmers.
But, in some areas, notably that
around Lubbock, Tex, the program
has been abandoned. Dry weather,
insects and diseases have'done away
with most of the trees.
Talks with farmers and conser-
walton men show that the program,
while practical, has put more
money in the farmers pocket, but
wind-breaks certainly are no cure
all.
Says Merrill: 1.-THE planting OF
tree wind-breaks is one practice Of
many used for control of wind eros
ion in localities to which they are
adapted"

Summer Vegetables

ARE YOU MAKING the most Of
your garden? There are 50 many
ways to serve vegetables, especially
If you have your own garden-fresh
variety on hand.
OF course, you can prepare them
with enchanting sauces, or toss them
crisp and icy into salads. but have
you ever thought Of using them in
q centerpieee that can be eaten?
There's no disputing the fact that
radish roses. celery curls, cucumber
wheels and the like are very at
tractive. And that's the thought Of
many a smart homemaker who
whips these fancy, easy-to-make
vegetables into a centerpiece for
mealtime.
Fancy gew-gaws that have been
centerpiece standbys for too long
q time should be retired, as strictly
summer-style creations Of fresh
vegetables put in their place will
give the family a combination eye
and appetite teaser. Try these tricks:
Radish Roses
Select firm, rather long radishes
with unwilted leaves. Wash thor
oughly and cut tops, leaving about
one inch of stem on each. With q
thin sharp knife, cut thin slices
lengthwise through the radish. Chill
in ice water.
Cucumber Wheels
Z Peel cucumber; using a four-tined
fork, score the cucumber lengthwise,
then cut in thin slices. Chill in ice
water to crisp.
Carrot Curls
Wash and scrape tender young
carrots. Using an apple corer. shave
off thin pieces lengthwise. Curl each
piece around your finger and drop
into ice water.
Carrot Straws
Wash, scrape tender young car
rotS and cut in eighths, then cut in
narrow strips about three inches
long. Cover with a damp cloth and
chill in refrigerator.
CaulifloWer FIowerets
Wash carefully by running under
cold water; then separate raw cauli-
flower into f1owerets. Chill in salted
ice water until crisp.
Scallions
Wash well, trim green stalks. Peel
onion if skin is loose or shrivelled
and chill in ice water.
Celery Hearts
Wash celery carefully. Remove
outer stalk and save for salads or
use in cooking. Trim root and cut
into an oval shape. Cut through in
thirds or quarters. Crisp in ice
water.
HERE ARE WAYS to prepare at
tractive platters Of vegetables:
Platter
Place cauliflower fowerets in one
corner Of platter, against this the
carrot curls, then radish roses.
Around this one corner may be
placed in sections, the following
vegetables: Carrot strips, cucumber
wheels and celery hearts.
Platter III
Place well chilled ripe olives and
green stuffed olives in center Of
large platter and separate these with
carrot strips and celery hearts. Di-
vide rest of plate into four sections
and in each one place the following:
Tomato slices, cucumber wheels,
scallions and radish roses.
COOKED VEGETABLES also may
be used for pretty platters. Each
vegetable should be cooked only
until it is tender, and served at
once. Here's lovely platter which
may be used as main dish:
