John, who had been listening

birds?" Then he promptly an

TUST a few years ago, when tin
! cans were still something Of
a novelty, the average American
housewife was highly suspicious Of
the propensity Of canned foods to
spoil.
A superstition spread that any
thing that came in a can should be
dumped out within seconds after
the opening Of the can. This belief
has gradually evaporated. but
nearly every housewife still clings
to at least one of the following
equally illogical notions:
Ssens Winssers: just a month ago
millions Of women advanced their
clocks eleven hours, rather than.
turning them back one hour, to
comply with the return from day
light-savings to standard time.
Many of their husbands went
through the same laborious proc
ess with their watches, because
YOU shouldn't set a watch back
wards"
The fact: In a clocks operation
the wheels Immediately connected
with the hands are joined to the
rest of the mechanism only by
friction. When hands are set for
ward, the rate of swing of the bal
ance wheel is slightly increased;
when they are set backward. it is
slightly decreased. Neither move

under the equally erroneous illu-
sion that her delicate glassware
canbe protected against hot liquids
by a teaspoon. preferably silver,
placed in the glass before the
liquid is poured in.
The fact: It all depends on the
size and thickness of the spoon. A
huge tablespoon will absorb bit
of the heat and conduct it out of
the glass; an ordinary teaspoon
is virtually useless. Best method:
pour the liquid into the glass very
slowly.
Wine Sfsins. Lots of people think
that when wine is spilled on the
tablecloth the right treatment for
this is to quickly sprinkle salt on
the spot. OF course salt is always
at hand, but -.
The fact: Salt does have an
affinity for moisture which will
help keep a wine spot from drying
on, but a sponge or blotter will do
just as well. Salt, however, has no
specific chemical property to make
it particularly valuable in this re-
spect.
Juicy Fruits. A quaint domestic
fallacy that may still linger on in

Striking clocks may lose the cor
relation Of the number of strokes
with the hour if they are turned
backward. But to the ordinary,
non-striking watch or clock. it does
no harm to turn the hands back

Broken Glass. Many owners of
cheap restaurants appear firmly
convinced that the thicker the
glass. the less breakage. Thick
glasses, it is true. will stand mod
crate knocks better than fragile
wine glasses, but they win shatter
if dropped and, most important,
they will break even quicker than
lighter glasses in hot water. Rea-
son is that glass is a poor conduc-
tor of heat and expands unevenly.

this thick-glass blunder, but she is

In Educational Field
BY Fronees Lide

A warning against making

in Washington by a British

an extended tour of this
country.

times feel that too hard a line
is being drawn between what
Is educational and what isn't"
Miss Love cited Maurice
Evans recent TV production
of Macbeth" as a program
which provided top-notch en-
tertainment but which could
certainly be classified as edu-
cational as well.
Such programs as Meet the
Press" and "You Were There"
also have educational value,
she pointed out.
Educational television does
not have to be frightfully
complicated" she said. But
1t does have to be good TV."

BY Muriel Nissen

it will mean lonely evenings at
home for both of you as some
one must mind the children
and baby-sitters can't be had
every night in the week. It
will definitely bring a break
down in compatibility. Since
the natural inclinations Of
you and your husband include
being together, a change would
be contrary to your own ideas.
Point out these things with
out disparaging his sister.
Loyalty to her is part of his
makeup: breaking it down, or
trying to, won't accomplish
much of your purpose. I think
the family is serving as sort of
a workshop for testing of
Edna's newly acquired knowl-
edge. A successful move might
be to turn her attention to
some other course that would
focus her energies in a differ
ent channel. Investigate. and
when you have decided on
some study, suggest guilelessly
that it's Just the thing for
some one of her intelligence.
Social service would be a good
field for her. one where she
can actually be Of some use.
If she likes to run other peo-
pies lives, letv her do it in q
field where it's needed. Un-
derprivileged children need
some one to direct them; hap

DEAR MISS NISSEN-My
in-law relationships during
the six years Of our marriage
have been fine, except in the
case of one person-my sister,
in-law. Even with her, the
difficulty has arisen only re-
Gently and I would like to end
it before 1t assumes disturbing
proportions.
Last year Edna, my sister
in-law, took a course in public
relations. Upon completion Of
the course she decided she was
qualified to run everybody'S
: home and she proceeded to
tell me, as we'll as her three
other sisters-in-law, how to
run our homes, care for our
children and handle our hus-
bands.
She Is unmarried. She
seems to have most of the
family befuddled by her newly
acquired authority, and is get
ting away with an awful lot.
In our home, for instance,
neither my husband nor I has
ever cared particularly about
going out alone. We're very
compatible and such outside
activities as we can have, with
two children, have been en-
joyed mutually. Now Edna
comes along with the PROPOSE
tion that this is all wrong:
we should have separate in
terests. My husband, un-
fortunately doesn't regard this
gratuitous advice as Inter
ference" but as interest" He
thinks we should try some of
her ideas: I disagree. What
is your opinion?-JOSIE T.
ANSWER-There are so
many disadvantages to Edna's
plans that I'm sure your hus-
band will understand if you
discuss the matter quietly and
tactfully. For instance, If you
begin going out without him

cause you can't afford to be
amateurish on the TV angle"
Educational TV is still in the
experimental stage in Eng
land. due principally to lack
of studio facilities. This will
be corrected with the compile
ton of the TV city now being
built outside of London.l
School broadcasting by the
BIC dates back 80 years. how
ever. Forty-two series go out
each week to the United King
dom as a whole, the various
programs being aimed at diff
ferent age groups from 5 to Is.
It is not the aim of the pro-
grams to teach facts as such.
but to stimulate interest in the
various subjects that are
taught in the schools using the
broadcasts.
History Dromotized
In the field of history, for
instance, events Of the past
are reconstructed through
<dramatization, Miss Love said.
Geography is handled much
the same way. Occasionally,
travellers or visitors from other
countries will give talks-if
they are very good speakers.
Usually. however, they receive
a fee for their material and
professional actors drama
tize it.
Miss Love left Washington
yesterday for New York and
will board a plane there on
Saturday to return to London.
One of the principal benefits
of her visit here was the OPP
portunity she has had to meet
SO many Americans. she said.
ut has given me an under
standing and feel of your
country" she explained. "And
that, of course. will be helpful
to me in program planning"

Stocking Gifts
We adored the little crooks
of honey packed like big fat
golden oranges and perfect to

would love TO find a wee pig
made Of rnarzipan among their
stocking gifts. The pigs come
in varying sizes from those
2 inches in length up to 4
to 5 inches. The chocolate ap-
piles. wrapped in cellophane,
would intrigue a child, too. We
bet nom would be no end
pleased to find a jar or two of
the English jams we saw. Take
your pick strawberry, black
currant or orange.
And the prize gift of all was
the fruit cake made by a lady
in Churchland, Va. It's avail
able in 2 and 5 pound sizes.
When you cut a slice the fruit
shines through like colored
windows and whole pieces of
nuts completely coFer the top
of the cake. You'll never be

Serve Immediately In chilled

most festive dinner. Use ba-
kerry sponge shortcakes. and
put a canned peach half cut

peach cavity with chopped
nuts, and cover the entire
shortcake with meringue. For
a different flavor twist. add a
little almond extract to the
meringue, before putting on
the shortcakes. Bake in a
