practically all of the ranges on
the market are finished entirely
in vitreous enamel. '
The days of pioneering had
passed by 1886 and the American
housewife was able to purchase
range that met all the require
ments of eye appeal, symmetry,
beauty and performance. This
model had new and improved
switches designed specifically for
electric ranges; simmer units were
created at the express demand
Of the housewife. The electric
range was here to stay!
Following World War II, pro-
duction was resumed by building
ranges similar to the pre-war
models but with a completely new
type surface unit offering long
life and speed. The ranges are
automatic with all switches on the
back panel making it more con-
Ven1ent Tor the user and out OF
reach of the children. Greater

before they range in size
from the 21-inch apartment model
to the deluxe proportions of 40

Tomato Pee|ing Method

Watery. If you stuff and bake
them, set them in mufin tins to
keep them from bursting or fall
ing over.
There seems to be no end to
the uses to which tomatoes may
be put. But there are two in
stances where I feel they are tabu.
One is in a mixed green salad
they make it too sloppy-and the
other is in a sandwich unless it is
to be eaten as soon as it is made.
A tomato salad is, of course, re-
freshing and delicious. but it
should be exactly what its name
implies, and not a part of a mix
ture of greens. The best tomato
salad I know is sliced chilled to-
matoes, marinated in dressing OF

dose of basil or oregano. Nary 4

By the Chef

Every one knows that the to-
mato was once known as the love
apple, and once was considered
poisonous. But 1 ran across a bit
Of its history that antedates even
those far-oh times.
Tomatoes are believed to have
originated in Central or South
America. for this name itself
comes from the Aztec "zitomate, :"
and the plant was grown by Mex
ican and Peruvian Indians long
before the coming of Columbus.
Italian soldiers and adventurers
introduced it to Italy. where it be-
came the rage. There it acquired
the name of love apple through an
odd circumstance: In the final
stage of their migration they en-
tered Italy from Morocco, and
were called Pom de Mori''-
apples of the Moors. Later this
was translated into French as
"Pommes d'Amour" apples of
love.
The first written mention of
tomatoes in this country was that
of Thomas Jefferson in 1781-but
there were few grown for many
years. About 1882 the Connecti-
cut Board of Agriculture raised
some as an experiment-but
didn't use them. Many people
insisted they were poisonous, and
it took a long time for the now
popular vegetable to catch on.
To peel tomatoes easily, drop
them for second or so in boiling
water and then cold water. With
a sharp knife slit the skin and
pull it off as you would a glove.
Then chill we'll before slicing. If
you are stuf1ing raw tomatoes.
scoop out the centers, and sprinkle
the inside with salt. Invert for

When the first meal was cooked
electrically, way back in 1895,
even the most liberal-minded
scientists never dreamed that some
day. it would be available for use
in the average home.
After this first experiment
nothing more happened until 1905,
when the stunt was repeated at a
fair for publicity purposes. BY
now manufacturers were begin
ming to see possibilities in this
new method Of cooking. The first
models were very crude accord
ing to present-day standards. They
were slow and the heating ele-
ments were of such low wattage 1t
required anywhere from As min
utes to an hour to preheat the
oven. Part of this low wattage
and the resultant slow heating
could not be avoided because none
of the utility companies had suf-
f1cient distribution capacity to
serve higher wattage elements.
For the next several years the
advancement was slow. Electric
rates were high. installation costs
terrific, and the ranges them
selves were inefficient and required
a lot of service. However. in 1914
a range came on the market that
looked like an icebox without the
ice. It even had a drain pan. Its
operation was completely auto
matte. being equipped with an
electric timer and circuit breaker.
But these were placed so incon-
veniently a housewife literally had
to get down on her hands and
knees to make the necessary ad-
justments.
BY 1917 rapid strides had been
made both in design and per-
formance. The oven was "up in
the air." It also marked major
trend in ranges of all types be-
cause 1t introduced the use of
white porcelain enamel panels.
Later when the all-porcelain range
came out it met with a storm of
protest. Many skeptics declared

She had timid, meek voice and made few
friends. Largely to have something to do
she took a speech course in the adult
education program at the local high school.
Suddenly she found that her voice possessed
new authority, that people listened and
were interested when she talked. She joined
a couple of organizations and soon made a
number of new friends. In short time she

of the American Legion and became active

Orchids.

Though December is the month
of red and green, many hope to
wear the royal flower from the
jungles. Of all tropical flowers, the
orchid captures the admiration of
all. It has the endearing quality
of keeping for a long time, too.
There are $1,000 species of orchids
In the great family Orchidaceae,
the forms and colors too varied to
enumerate.
Most of North Americas fanil-
iarity with the flowers is restricted
to the rosy-lilac beauty we call
orchid"
| Wedding bouquets and special
formal occasions call for the pure
white orchid. Today the florist can
be shown a color scheme planned
weeks before, and he can have the
flowers flown in. The amazing
thing about orchids is their habit
of remaining fresh-looking for so
long. For fragile blossoms that ap-
pear so delicate, they are tough.
Orchids in the Americas are
known as air plants. Few now con-
slider them parasites, which they
are not. Most of the true tropical
species are ephiphytes, air plants
that fasten their roots on barks of
trees, on stone cliffs and poles.
They draw their nourishment from
the material that collects about
their roots, from the air and water.
Others behave like other plants

f1ourishing in soil Our, ladyslipper
Is one of the well-known terrestrial
orchids.
The first attempts to grow orchids
from seeds were unsuccessful. Their
culture appeared too costly and
complicated, too tedious to be un-
dertaken by the amateur. Now
plants several years old, in healthy
state, can be purchased.
An orchid plant does not bloom
until 7-10 years of age. Some pro-
duce flowers once a year only, others
twice a year, especially hybrids.
The blossoms have been known to
remain in condition on the plant
for several months.
Although thousands Of seeds, no
larger than a grain of dust, may
be produced by each bloom, only
few in the jungle germinate. Those
grown in test tubes flourish in a
kind of jelly.
After the tiny seeds germinate
they are removed with forceps to
small pots of moss, from which they
are passed to larger pots as they
grow. The blossoms are the reward
of patient, careful attention to the
many needs Of the pampered flower
that grows in vast numbers and
gorgeous beauty in jungles where
few have the Joy of seeing them. 1t
is here the Great Green Iguana
comes to breakfast, nibbling the
blossoms Of the exquisite orchid.
Orchids arrive by plane every day

The bidding:
South West North East
/ spade 4hearts 6spades Pass

Opening lead, king Of hearts.
It is difficult to display any per-
sonanty when the opponents have
reached a game or slam and you
are gazing at an assortment OF cards
that are better adapted to the game
Of gin runnmy than to contract
bridge. Nevertheless, on those oc-
casions it behooves one to maintain
q stiff upper lip. Boredom may give
away the show and enable declarer
to place the missing strength in the
hand of your partner.
The East of today's hand little
suspected when he picked up his
cards that he was to be the leading
man Of the very exciting drama
upon. which the curtain was about
to be raised. Vests pre-emptive bid
of four hearts prevented any scien-
tific investigation Of the hand, and
North's slam bid was good gamble
South, feeling that he had rather
more than he might have held, went
on to a grand slam, a venture which
I, for one, am not inclined to rec
ommend.
The king of hearts was opened
and taken by the ace. The low
heart was ruffed in dummy with
the 10 Of spades and East had to
make a discard. The appearance
of the dummy made a club discard
out Of the question, so that the
temptation was to let 60 the deuce
of diamonds. East realized, how
ever, that holding four diamonds
might be important II partner held
the king (if declarer held the king
there appeared to be no hope. He,
therefore, discarded a trump. Note
that a diamond discard would have
permitted declarer to cash four
tricks in the suit after the success
full flnesse, and the losing club could
be shed on the three OF diamonds.
Declarer entered his hand with a
trump and took the diamond
finesse; he then drew the trumps
and repeated the finesse, but when
diamonds and clubs both failed to
break he had to give up club trick
at the end.
Despite East's brilliance, declarer
should have made the hand. West
Is known to have nine hearts and
one spade. The clubs and diamonds
cannot, therefore, break. This IS
corroborated, though no corrobora-
ton is necessary, by East's discard
of trump. After ruf1ng the heart,
declarer should return to his hand
with a spade and take the diamond
finesse; another trump lead permits
him to repeat the diamond finesse.
and the king shows up out Of Vests
hand. At this point the three top
clubs should be cashed and the
remaining tr1rmps led out.
Dummy discards the six of clubs
and is reduced to the ace and three
Of diamonds. Declarer has a dia-
mond and a club. East, who holds
the 10 and nine of diamonds and
the jack of clubs, must make dis
card, which he is unable to do with
out committing hara-kiri.
