That the long-playing record

music lovers, is here to stay Is OBJ
vious. Which long-playing record
will come out on top In the current
survival of -the-fttest battle being
waged by the record companies re-
mains to be seen.
Victor announced its new disk this
week, precisely one day after Colum-
bia, the first company to introduce
the long playing record, announced
it's microgroove record is now avail
able in a finch disk. Victor's new
disk, which requires a special turn
table as does the Columbia record
will revolve Is times a minute, a
change from the 1919 rpm. that
the Columbia record makes. The
Victor record also made of unbreak
able vinylite, is 67s inches in width,
and is played on turntable with a
1h-inch center spindle,that changes
records in three seconds, the best
standard yet set for this operation
Eight records can be played at one
time on the machine.
Victor's new record goes on sale
about the first of April. Columbia S
7-inch record, which offers about
five minutes playing time OF each
record (the time now found on the
shellac 12-inch record) will be in
the stores in about 10 days. Victor's
record offers the same amount OF
time on its disk. The difference, o1
course, is in the rate per minute OF
the revolutions.

WhyGrow
Old?
By yosebhins Lowman

Laugh and grow fat. HOW
many times have we heard that?
It does seem that many women
who are fat or plump are extremely
jolly! AS a rule, well-padded folks
are calmer than their thinner sis
tiers. Extreme tenseness is often o
contributing factor in underweight.
1t would be impossible to calcu.
late the medicinal value OF laugh.
ter and the optimistic, happy atti.
tude from which it springs. Laugh.
ter and happy outlook oils the
glands to smooth functionlng, ana
this in turn makes every organ in
your body function more efficiently.
1t is widely known fact that much
digestive difficulty comes from
tenseness and worry, and that heart
disease can be caused by unhapp1-
ness. So it may be that the jolly
woman assimilates her food better
than the tense one and is therefore
more subject to overweight. The
thin woman sometimes finds her
self in the vicious circle of too little
fatty padding and much tenseness,
which react on each other.
Extreme underweight can be an
unhappy experience from the stand
point of too few figure curves and
also from the viewpoint of health.
Often serious prolapsis occurs,
causing severe fatigue, backaches
and constipation, with their ac-
companying encourage.
1t would certainly be untrue to
say that all fat women are jolly,
because many of them are terribly
burdened by overweight and ia.
tigue and physical troubles, and 1t
would be just as untrue to say that
all thin women are tense and ir.
ritable.
It seems that we might take this
thought into the new year with
us: The correct weight for your
height and build is of great i'm
portance in health and in beauty.
1t is an important factor In per-
sonality also because we do react
to the way we look and the way we
feel.

buff, just wipe off. In 20 minutes
the surface has completely dried to
hard brilliant finish which resists
fingerprinting and dust slides off.
This oil keeps the delicate woods
from drying out. but also gives a
hard dirt resistant surface, such as
the wax would do. I use. 1t not
only on my dark wood furniture,
but with equally good results on
maple. The oil of lemon cleans so
it is not necessary to wash the fur
niture and in my case find it nee
essary to use only twice year >ex-
cept for arms of chairs or a few
much used pieces. 1t may be pur-
chased in the 10-cent stores or
hardware stores and is called oil of
lemon or lemon oil, depending on
the manufacturer. but it is all good
no matter what brand. A little
practice will show you just how
much oil to use. If the furniture
has been previously waxed repeat
the process, using another treated
cloth to remove all the old wax or
furniture polish.

To Mrs D. H., East Riverdale:

help in hot, sticky weather.
Is there q booklet 1 could get to
help me in knitting children's sweat

other words, my problem is that
need to learn how to change direc-
tions in order to get the same size
garment from wool other than

BAKED CUSTARD;
BREAD PUDDING;
OTHER RECIPES.
From Mrs. E. B. NJ, Washington
For Mrs. C. E. H., Upper Marlboro:
I have had success with the follow
ing recipe for baked custard: Beat
2 eggs slightly, scald l pilt milk with
4 tablespoons sugar and 4 teaspoon
salt. Pour this over the eggs, STIR
ring while pouring. Add ! teaspoon
vanilla and nutmeg to taste 1--WE
like quite a bit). Pour into custard
cups and place in pan Of hot water.
Bake about 30 minutes in 325-degree
oven or until silver knife inserted
in center comes out clean.
We don't like soft bread pudding,
either, and found that toasting bread
was the answer. Bread pudding
Toast under broiler 8 cups bread
diced, mix with 3 cups milk, 3 beaten
eggs, 2 tablespoons butter, l cup
sugar, grated rind OF ! lemon. u
teaspoon lemon extract, u teaspoon
nutmeg, y teaspoon salt and, If de-
sired, raisins. Bake in creased cas-
serole set in pan of hot water IN
325-degree oven until slightly brown
and beginning to leave side OF pan
or until set, about an hour and a
quarter. Serve hot or cold, with or
without a lemon sauce.
1 should like to offer good des-
sert recipe, a sort of apple crisp:
Slice 4 medium-size tart apples thin
and arrange them in creased 8-inch-
square cake tin. Mix together q
cup quick cooking oatmeal, q cup
brown sugar, a cup flour and Y cup
butter, cutting butter in. Spread
this over the apples and bake IN
moderate 350-degree oven IS to 40
minutes or until apples are done.
Serve warm with top milk or cream.
If your readers have not tried
cooking a package OF fresh frozen
peas and mixing them with creamed
potatoes at serving time. it is an
attractive dish and good way to
fix potatoes when there Is no gravy,
as with baked ham. 1t lets one dish
hold two vegetables, saving passing
more dishes.
Also, try browning onions in hot
fat, removing onions and then
browning steak or beef liver in the
same fat, then pouring over the
meat and onions mixture Of half
water and half bought sour cream.
Simmer for about an hour, or longer
If meat is thick. The liquid may
cook down so that more water has
to be added. It's a good way to
make meats more tender.

MEXICO.
from Mrs. B. C. B., Arlington.)
I am sorry that I have lost the
paper that had the request for this
information, but I hope the lady will
see this. l have never travelled by
auto through Mexico, but I did
spend six months in Mexico City
last winter, visiting my son, so I feel
I can give you some basic rules that
will be helpful.
One rule to observe most carefully
is to never drink water or milk in a
public place or anywhere upless you
can be sure of its purity. They are
the sources most likely to be pol-
luted. AS a substitute, drink soft
drinks or coffee, although. judging
from my experience, you will be dis
in the coffee. I would
suggest that you keep case of soft
drinks in your car. You also can
buy bottled waters that are supposed
to be pure, such as distilled water.
The next important rule is to
never eat raw vegetables. such as
lettuce, celery, radishes, etc. This Is
because you can never know what
kind of water they have been
washed in, ncr how much care has
been taken in washing them. There
may be other precautions you should
take, but these are the ones my son
upon me most. OF course,
we did not eat in restaurants very
much. I hope you will find Mexico
as interesting as I found it.

had busy week with the visiting
Navy which arrived early Tuesday
morning and stayed through Sat
urdav. The seaplane tenders USS
Pine Island and USS Susuin with
four PBMs and a ply all under
the command of Rear Admiral
Jack Perry stopped in for a visit
enroute north on summer maneu-
vers.
The ships were open to visitors
during their stay and the crews
were kept busy conducting tours.
Main objects of attraction were the
planes aboard the Pine Island, par
ticularly the two helicopters.
Townspeople practically dropped
all pretense of working when the
helicopters were in action over
town, Swimming and lowering here
and there like gigantic humming
birds. On Friday the helicopter
landed on the ball park to take
Mayor Charters aboard for a ride.
And on Saturday a group Of guests
of the Admiral were taken to Lake
Eva for days fishing, returning
just in time for the ships sailing.
Several baseball games were
played between ships and town
teams with the town teams winning
each one. The Clubs were open to
the service men and on Friday eve
ming large puclic dance was given
at Community House and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all.
