From the time the first berries
come on the market until the frost
nips the tomato vines, the canning
season is on. Beginning with straw
berries, the other small fruits follow
in swift succession. Typical of these
small fruits is that they are In
season only a few months of the
year, but we can capture that de-
lightful fresh fruit flavor for the
month ahead in jellies, jams or
sauce. So, dust off your preserving
kettles and round up all your old
empty jelly glasses and let's start
filling up the depleted shelves with
few glasses of strawberry jelly.
I don't know who it was that first
discovered fruit juice could be
cooked with sugar to make beauti-
full quivering jelly. More than likely
it was one of those happy accidents
that happen from time to time. As

TheChef
Says

There's a brand-new world fol
you to explore, if you have moi
already made the acquaintance o1
the prolific family of italian pastes
or pasta. You may know only the
familiar, domestically produced
macaroni and spaghetti-but you are
missing a culinary experience II
you've overlooked the pasta in its
other forms. Go to an Italian grocer
and learn from him the wonderful
wares he sells. Then enjoy your
pasta dishes in proper gourmet
fashion-you will find a new delight
in every one of them.
Good pasta is made from semo-
lima, the granulated product of hard
wheat and is glutinous in character
1t is mixed with boiling water and
kneaded by machine into a hard
paste or dough and kneaded some
more until it become homogeneous
mass which is placed in a cylinder
stopped with disc perforated with
holes of the proper size and shape to
produce the type pasta desired. A
tightly fitting plunger is introduced
into the cylinder and the mass OF
pasta forced through the openings
It then is cut to the right length
and hung to dry.
That is one way you can tell real
Italian macaroni, for it is hung over
rods for the drying. 1t is strong
enough to bear its own weight and
consequently, there will be a fiat
tened mark where the rods have
supported the strands.
Now, so you won't be too confused
when you pay that visit to the Ital-
ian grocer, here are some of the
more familiar pastes that you will
find of interest:

pieces of round or square paste
called pepper kernels" because o1

with a slight curve about 2 inches

CoNCHIGL1E: Shell -shapee
pieces Of paste.
DITALINI: Small tubular bits
often used in soups.
FARFALETTE: Fascinating small
and large ribbon bows"
FUSILLI: Not . often seen-s

LASAGNE: Plain or egg noodles
LINGUINI: Plain noodles, cut II
very thin strips.
MAFALDE: The broad, ribbon

used in soups.
PERCIATELLI: Long tubula'

inches square, filed with choppet
meat or vegetables.

COOKING ROAST;

roasting.

QUERY?
(From Mrs. E. L., Washington.)
I would like to hear from all
mothers re my problem. I'm sure
some one must have already coped
with situations the same as mine.
Please understand in the begin
ming I'm not trying to avoid work
myself, but I think that at years
old a little girl should be learning
the art of housework. That much is
settled in my mind but just where
and how to start and how much is
to be expected is really the problem.
I assure you that small tasks such
as drying dishes occasionally or
busting, etc., by my little girl has
been going on for some time. Now
I'm wandering if she shouldn't have
certain duties to perform daily.
I must admit that I'm torn be-
tween having her learn and enjoy
ing the freedom I also wish her to
have. She is in school until 3
o'clock and we have dinner at 4
o'clock, so you see there is only one
hour of playtime until after dinner
Should I expect her to dry dishes
only, or should clearing the table
and sweeping the floor be expected?
Should she be allowed to rush
through her work only half doing 1t
or be made to do it over and over
until it's well done regardless of play
time? Seems to me after having
to take her time to do things over
again would soon teach her 1t is
better to do it properly in the be-
ginning. Or should I give up the
idea until she is older and I'm sure
she can do these things well?
How have you other mothers gone
about this? I would really like to
have regular duties for her to per-
form, but seeing that they are car
ried through gracefully without
many ScOlQlneS is my ODJeCC. OnOulQ
there be a penalty for things poorly
done, ETC.?

Some time ago, saw an adver-
tisement in some magazine cant
recall which one) showing mat
tress with an adjustable back rest,
under it, which operates on the
principle of a hospital bed. The ad
said it was fine for reading in bed
or in case of sickness. I have called
the dry goods stores, mattress places,
ETC., and no one knows about it.
AS I have sickness in my family
and would now like to reAlrn the
rented hospital bed, this back rest
would be such wonderful help. 1t
was a metal adjustable bar, that
raises or lowers the mattress to the
desired height.
I can't remember If it was made
for a certain make mattress or can
be used under any kind.
Certainly hope some one else saw
this advertisement and can tell me
where to find it.
I am inclosing a recipe for de-
licious sugar cookies and hope you
can use it.
