Saving Is Not
Always Thrifty

Being thrifty in the kitchen isn't
always being wise, declares Grace
Ryan home management special
ist for the Agricultural Extension
Service of the University of Ariz-
ona.
She is talking about our careless
use Of household e m which
should be thrown away. There is
Clipped and cracked glassware, for
instance; canning jars with a crack
through the neck of the jar; or
cracked cooking or serving dishes
that may collapse" when a load of
hot food is packed in. Moreover, a
cracked cup is hard to keep sani-
tary by ordinary dishwashing.
Then there are the pots and pans
with "tipsy" handles. Or they may
be so warped on the bottom that
they cannit stand safely on a stove.
Being thrifty at the expense of
safety may be poor policy.

Early in 1884 he presided over

Despite this snub Strauss asked
Zweig for two more librettos, but
the author refused since his

Strauss retorted by letter that
he was older now and wrote more
slowly and that by the time he
finished the score "the gang now

miles east of Bermuda at 10 am.
This places the islands on the
weaker west side of the storm" "
Mr.. Norton said. Heaviest winds
reached only 40 miles from the

Bermuda should be receiving only
heavy gales with gusts somewhat
higher. and high tides

The forecaster reported the
storm which hung nearly sta
tionary for three days in a war of
nerves with Bermuda was now on
the move and speeding up its
forward pace.
1T should threaten no more
land unless there is a change in
course" Mr.. Norton added.
Ships were warned to avoid the
storm. Most vessels had cleared
out of its path, and others reported
themselves steaming at top speed
to get west of the center as it ap-
proaches the North Atlantic ship
