Helpful Hints For Homemakers ANN£ HIRST Answer elscvviiere in this issue "Dear .Anne Hirst: Wlien 1 was 19, I married a man Id known only three weeks. It ciiilcd in divorce. Now 1 am afraid my son is going to make the same mistake. "He is 19, and entered the mili- tary service right from high school. ..ou' I'O writes me, asking that 1 sign leSiil pa- pers to lot Imu marry a girl lie has known only a short time. I have refused, telling him lie should wait un- til he is out of the service and 21. If he still wants her then, he has my blcssiiif,'. "He has no way of making a living, and since I have two young children by my second luishaiid, I cannot help him. Was He Indulged? "My present liusband, to wlioin I've been married 11 years, has done everything he could for the boy. My son wanted farm life, and I made my husband give up a good position four years ago to buy a fariii. But the boy didn't like farm- ing, and we had to move back here. "1 wonder whether we did too imich for him? I'm worried, .Anne Hirst. We both wonder where we failed as parents, that he should want to do such a thing as this. "A BF.Wll.HF.RKD MOTIIF.R" * In refusing to give your con- * sent to tliis marriage, you did the * only thing you could do. * ^'oll brought up your son, \ on * say, to have "the best of cvery- * thing." It is natural for a mother * to do that, but it is not always * best for the boy.

Melt all this together, setting the cup over boil- ing water; then beat until perfectly cold and snowy white. Put up in glass or china. Q..Ho\v can I leiiiovc paint from cloth? A. Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine will remove paint from cloth, and for removing stains from bathroom fixtures use a cloth damp- ened with perosene. <_'• flow can I sour inilU « hen neeiled in i ei ipc>. A. Two tablespoons of lemon juice added to one cup of sweet milk sours it to the acidity desired for sour milk recipes. U. How c:iii I make a dish ol noodles look iiioie appetizing ? A. A noodle cheese ring filled with creamed shrimps makes a de- licious dish. This, combined with an attractive fruit or vegetable sal- ad, light dessert, and plenty of cof- fee, will afford an ample luncheon menu, not hard to prepare. (J.

Hiuulrctls of millions of dollars worth of red-blooded meat, as ten- der and I'lavoiirsome as prime beef, are being wasted every year in the Aiuarctic. Such is the claim made here by Dr. Harry 1'".. Lillie. noted Scottish surgeon and whaling au- thority, in a report pre|iared for the Canadian tieographical Society on the international whrtling industry. Dr. Lillie. who in l''46-47 was in Ihe .Xiutuctic as surgeon to a Scot- tish fleet and who has since been ciifsaKod in surgical research work ill t .iiuida. contends (hat eiiougii wIktIc meat is being wasted each season to feed hhirope for more than throe months on present rations. In his report. Dr. I.illic traces the history of the whalinjf industry from its earliest times. Known best, per- haps, as a source ol valuable oil, u-ed boih industrially and in food processing, whales, he believes, have ec|iially as great a role to play as a source uf meal. Hr. I^illie is opposed, however, to the present nicthod used for killing whales â€" the explosive lt;jrpooii. This he describes as the most cruel anil wasteful wcMpnn possible, lie believes universal adoption of a nore humane method of killing, such as electrocution, is imnied'ately essential. A whale hit l>> .111 explosive har- poon may take anywhere up to three hours to die. and even than additional harpooiiing may be neces- sary to end the painful stru(;:.;le. During this time puirefactioii oryaii- isms spiead rapidly throughout the entire animal. These organisms in time gi^e the meat a fishy, oilv flavour which delracts from ils appeal as food for hnnians. Dr. l.illie believes that if all coun- tries engaged in whaling in the Antarctir were td kill be means ol electrocution it would be possible to make huge fpiantities of "thii nutritious, tasty meat" available to many countries, lie is convinced thai tiie use of whale meat would help materially in relieving Ihe present world food shortage. At the present time, live coiiiitries -Norway, I'nited Kingdom, the Netherlands l'.S,S,R. and Japan - are engaged in whaling in the .^nt arctic regions. Canada although j signatory to the International \Vlial ing t'ouventioii is not engaRed in the Antarctic O|)eralion although last year espci imental whaling was carried on off tlie roast of Ttriiish I oinnibia. Make washable shoulder pads ont of a rubber sponge cut to the de- sired shape and thickness. These pads dry quickly and don't become lumpy, trover and sew in place. * * * When airing clothes, fold rubbcf jar rings over the line, and hook the hangers into these double loops. (Totlies won't slide or fly off the tine. * • * When mending a large hole in a sweater, reinforce the hole with net. This forms a good foundation for darning, and will prevent puckering. * ♦ « When you wash Baby's bonnet, fit it over an inverted bowl to dry. F^elp5 the bonnet hold its shape. <• * ♦ Use pink-ng shears to cut patclies for work or play clothes, then don't bother to turn under the edges. Patches don't fray. * ♦ * Make your baby a bib from a wash cloth. Fold wash cloth length- wise through center. Cut out the corner made by the fold, to make a circle that will just fit Baby's neck. Bind neck-edge with bias tape, leaving enough tape at each end for ties. * * * Roast wieners in an old-fashioned corn popper instead of on a .stick. They'll keep their juices better, and you can roast several at once with- out danger of their falling into the fire. * ♦ * Make frosted "angel food" from plain day-old bread. Trim off crusts, cut the bread into strios. Glaze strips on all sides with sweetened condensed milk. Roll in shredded cocoanut and brown under a low flame. * ♦ » Melt chocolate on a large piece of waxed paper, placed in a saucepan. When chocolate is melted it will slide oft the paper easily, leaving a elean pan. * * * For a few drops of lemon juice, stick a fork into one end of the lemon and squeeze through the per- forations. Lemon can still be kept for future juict need. * * ♦ Use a tiny funnel for separating the yolks from the whites of eggs, T'he white slips through the hole easily, leaving yolk in top of tfct funnel. « * * Try washing fresh garden peu and cooking them in their pods Shells rise to the top and can W skimmed off in a few seconds â€" aa4 peas have an extra fresh, sweet flavor. * » * Sprinkle clothes right on the fioi; if you have a garden hose (turn tea fine spray). Roll clothes as you take th.:m down. Take down those that don't need sprinkling before yo« turn on the spray. * * * Use new galvanized garbage cans for storing out-of-season garments and blankets in the attic. They h»»e tight lids, are light and easy t« handle. SEQUIN JEWELRY CRAFT If TOD CM ate â-  needle vaA tHmd. yni: can mikf UBuiuil lequia iewriry. Wt're usembird « kit with % everytbini you need.

One day a stranger entered and said his parrot could talk better. .Mter an argument a match was arranged for $10, the parrot which laid the most in ten minutes to be the winner. When the stranger's bird arrived, both parrots were put on a table. I'he local parrot did not speak at all, and the landlord had to pay his $10 to the stranger. When he was putting his parrot back the landlord said to the bird: "You're a smart one, you arel" The parrot whispered in his ear; "Listen, you make a return match for fifty bucks and I'll talk the so-aiul-so's head off."
