Suburbs Wait to See
What Action Congress
Takes on District

The daylight time pattern In
Virginia and Maryland-as in the
Districts shaping up about as
1t did last year.
The suburban communities are
waiting to see what Congress de-
cides on the subject for Washing
ton. Most citizens, however
expect daylight time once again
this spring and summer.
After public opinion poll
rolled up 81 majority for day.

commended that Congress author

ahead on April 30.
Governing bodies in the sur
rounding counties and in the city
of Alexandria will be guided by
the congressional action.
Situation Elsewhere
Elsewhere in Virginia, daylight
time is out. State law requires
standard time.
Elsewhere in Maryland, the
situation is this:
Baltimore citizens voted right
after the war to adopt the new
time each summer as q regular
thing and this almost automatic
ally brings Baltimore, Howard,
Carroll, Anne Arundel and Har-
ford Counties into the daylight
saving circle.
Cecil County is about in the
same situation. because much of
It's business life is tuned to Balti-
more or Wilmington. Whining
ton regularly goes on daylight.
What Survey Shows.
An Associated Press survey
shows that smaller cities haven't
come to grips with the daylight
saving time problem yet.
Garrett County is staying on
standard" again this year, with
out going to the trouble of taking
any official action about it.
A battle is on in Cumberland
ana Allegany County.
The Hagerstown and Frederick
city councils have adopted day.
light-saving time officially.
Most Washington County COM
mun1tles are expected to follow
the Hagerstown lead. In Fred
erick County it is a different story.
The railroad town of Brunswick
voted firmly against daylight and
most of the other communities in
the county are expected to stay on
standard. There was intense op-
position to the move at Frederick.
Whole rural areas in many
counties may hold steadfastly to
standard time. Farmers have
deep-seated hatred of daylight
time.
There isn't any question about
Ocean City because the Atlantic
Ocean resorts draws most of its
customers from cities on daylight
saving. It's a regular summer
practice along the boardwalk.
Maryland is the southern bor-
der State in regard to daylight
time. All the States north and
east regularly use it.

Coffee First Advertised

There's been lots about coffee
in the papers Of late-and there
always are a flock of advertise
ments of the various brands. It
is interesting to note that the
earliest advestisers of coffee were
physicians and writer's who told
their fellows something about the
berry and the beverage made from
it.
Rhazes and Avicenna told the
story in Latin way back in the
10th century. They stressed it's
medicinal value in stomach dis
orders. The berry was sold in
apothecarieS' shops as a drug.
Later the beverage was sold and
advertised by lemonade street
vendors, then by the proprietors
of the coffee houses, and finally
the coffee merchant entered the
picture.
The earliest true" advertise
ment for coffee was probably the
famous Argument in favor Of
the legitimate use Of coffee. by
ADD d-al-Kadir, in Arabic. about
1887. The author, follower Of
Mahomet, set out to convince his
contemporaries that coffee drink
ing was no defiance Of the
Prophets law.
In 1852 the first printed adver-
tisement for coffee in English is

The Chef
Soys

II. you are planning some She
nanigans on st. Patrick's Day, it
is none too soon to be thinking
about the details.
To begin with, get green card
board ShamrockS, and write the
invitation on them in white ink.
Address the white envelope in
green ink.
Many shops have fascinating
paper cloths, napkins and so on
in paper, with Irish designs, but
if you don't like the informality
of paper. use a white damask or
rayon cloth, and scatter various
sized paper shamrocks over it. If
you can't find real shamrock
growing in pots to use as a CEN
terpiece. make do with an ar
rangement of white and green
carnations and maidenhair fern.
Put a green carnation at each
male guests place for a favor,
and make a corsage of several of
the carnations for each lady.
Choose green and white mints for
the candy containers.
Now, about the menu. For a
starter. grapefruit halves dressed
up with green-minted cherries.
For the fish course salmon with
Hollandaise sauce tinted green.
Also sliced cucumbers in French
dressing. Don't peel the cues, just
score them lengthwise with a fork
and then sliceD For the main
course. a leg of lamb, garnished
with fresh mint and mint jelly
little potatoes boiled in their
jackets and rolled in parsley but
ter, and green peas.
A shamrock salad is easy, and
very good. Cut tops off green
peppers and take out seeds and
f1bers. Stuff the peppers tightly
with creamed cheese which has
been mashed smooth, SOftened
with a little cream, and seasoned
with cayenne, salt, pepper and a
little Worcestershire sauce. Add
a few nutmeats, ground very fine.
Put stuffed peppers in the icebox
to chill thoroughly. When time
to serve, slice them crosswise in
half-inch thick slices and set on
watercresS.
For dessert you might like a
dessert that was served recently
at a dinner party given by an
imaginative hostess. On large
round platter she had built a
fence of twisted green and white
peppermint sticks. Inside were
meringues filled with pistachio ice
cream. While it wasn't "St. Pat
party" it struck me at the time
as a good one to put in the files
for March II.

The original is preserved in the
British Museum. I am told. 1t
contains such statements as "It
quickens the spirits and makes
the heart lightsome. It is good
against sore eyes. and the better
if you hold your head over it
and take in the steem that way"
And ut is excellent to prevent
and cure the dropsy, gout and
scurvy."
The first newspaper advertise
ment for coffee appeared in Lon
don in May, 1857, and the French
started selling it by means of
flowery broadsides soon after.
Illustrations were first used in
1674-and what long way we
have come from those amateurish
and unimaginative sketches!
Real coffee advertising started
to bloom here in the United
States, first Illustrated handbills,
then illustrated lads" in the
newspapers. In the Ladies Home
Journal for December, 1888, the
Great London Tea Co. of Bos-
ton had a display ad"-and
other companies quickly followed
suit in the Journal and other
magazines. The first handbill in
colors, which appeared in 1872,
shows a be-aproned lady stand
ing over a smoking pan on a coal
stove, exclaiming via balloon. "Oh,
I have burnt my coffee again!"
Her be-hatted and be-bustled
guest admonishes, Buy Arbuck-
les Roasted, as I do. and you will
have no trouble" Not so different
from today. is it?

GroWnups'
Rights
By Angelo Potri

Johnny is IL and his brother
Jimmy is 10 years of age. They
are healthy, active youngsters and
full of play. Lately they have
been annoying the family by wres-
ting. No sooner are they at
liberty than they begin mauling
each other. The house is small,
not intended for wrestling
matches, and the two, tumbling
all over it, make a great deal Of
nuisance of themselves. Into
the bargain, the battle always
ends in tears and complaints.
What is one to do when active
children want to turn the house
into a bedlam?
Forbid the whole business.
Wrestling, boxing, such active
games as hide and seek, cannot
be played in the house. They
must be played outdoors. in fields
and Fairgrounds. Children need
hard play and they need to pound
and shout and thump and wear
themselves down so they can
build themselves up again, but
the house is no place for that.
The playground offers full oppor-
tunity for it and that is where
such activities should take place.
Not in the house.
Grown people have rights which
must be observed, lest they go to
the hospital, very costly expert
ence. They cannot enjoy noise.
They are anxious about the dam
age likely to be done to the fur
nishings as well as to the bodies
of the battling, racing children.
Doing the days work, carrying
the days anxieties, drain the en-
ergy of the grown-up people and
they cannot stand much more.
Home should be place where all
members of. the family can relax
and hope to enjoy a little peace.
Active children will not sit still.

means that they must have some
thing to do to occupy them when
they are in the house. Home
chores, lessons. quiet games are
in order. Radio and television
programs should help, too.
Some families set aside a time
in the evening for the grownup's
relief. The children understand
that they are to make no noise,
ask no questions, let their elders
alone during that period. They
are to occupy themselves with
quiet study or work which has
been set by themselves under
their parents supervision. or by
the parents directly. This re-
quires a bit of forethought and
planning but it results in peace
full and profitable evening for the
family. The period of quiet pre-
pares the children for a restful
sleep and it enables their parents
to look forward to another day
with, at least. fortitude.

Hair STYLING

A new hairdo can make a new
you out of you. And it will be
most fattering if it is designed
to point out your best feature.
says Dolly Reed, whose advice
about three different coiffures is
part of a ten-day program Of diet,
exercise and beauty care featured
in McCall's Magazine for March:
emphasize your eyes with
bangs that follow the line of your
brows and are softly waved to a
center point. Side sections are
waved up and back over the ear
tips.
Emphasize your profile with
hair swept back from your face,
dipped over one eye, waved be-
hind the ears. Back hair is coiled
and curled like the crest Of a
Grecian helmet.
Emphasize a graceful neck
with hair cut short and waved
across the back of your head from
a low side part. Curl the sides
forward in fiat curls springing
from back waves"

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

This week I am telling you
something about the Woman's
Program of the New York State
Department of Commerce. It
gives expert assistance to women
who live in the State of New York
and who wish to start a business
of their own.
! sat in a room of the woman's
division in New York and watched
women come in with products they
wished to market. There is a
display case in this Office which
contains various products, and
Miss Frances G. Thompson showed
me many lovely things which
women had made. and with the
help of the Department of Com
merce, had turned into successful
businesses. Her desk drawers
were loaded with these, too.
She told me that one woman
they had advised, who now has a
tremendous commercial business,
said, II started with two bread
pans, $1.29 and an understanding
husband" While I was in the
Office they learned that a woman
who had started her career in her
own home had just been offered
81 million for the business.
OF course, these two success
stories are not the average, and
yet many women, when given in
formed direction and advice, have
built up moderately successful
businesses which are lucrative.
There are many whimsical ideas.
One fairly new organization is
called The Grandmother Serv-
ice." 1t was started by an older
woman and provides the kind of
service grandmother usually
gives, everything from singing to
the baby to sewing.
Many women are forced to be
away from their young children
all day because of the necessity of
supporting them, while others
long to add little extra money
to the family budget. There are
also many women who sbored
to death because of too little to
do, who would find life bright and
adventurous again if they had the
challenge of new idea, a new
project into, which to throw their
energy and talent and skill and
imagination!
The woman's program of The
New York State Department of
Commerce is only for women who
live in the state of New York but
they have given me permission to
reprint, in leaflet form. large
part of the booklet which they
send out to New York women.
This will suggest many ideas to
you and give you direction if you
are interested in starting a busi-
ness of your own.
