Since the production for these has been sharply curtailed, you will want hints on keeping them in "cooking" condition: Aluminum: Leaving food in aluminum longer than necessary, soaking the utensil before washing and alkalies such as soda spell short wear for this metal. If you want to clean aluminum without endangering its wearing period, use very fine scouring powder or steel wool for discolorations. Or, cooking acid foods like tomatoes, rhubarb and apples will do the trick. Iron: Wash in hot, sudsy water. If this doesn't clean it, use hot soda and water. If rusted, use scouring powder or steel wool. Always dry completely and wrap in paper for storage. Tin: This metal does not keep shiny indefinitely. Remove burnt foods by boiling in soda and water for five minates, never longer.

ORDER to gain an end, Preston idason had resorted to artifice. , "Come oa out," he urged the beautiful Ina, "for just a minute. I've something to tell you, and it's important, too." Ina yielded. Once outside, alone, away from the country club ballroom lights Preston turned to her and smiled. Ina eyed him coldly. "So! It was a trick! Yolj didn't have anything important to say. I might have known. I might have remembered that you couldn't have anything important to say. You're not bright enough." She started away,' but Preston caught her arm. ilNow, Ina, wait minute. My real purpose was to r warn you against David Rollins, r ^ "Warn me against :.">j;«tared. "You've been seeing David a lot lately. Tee much. First thing you know he'll simply take it for granted you're interested in him, and then you'll find yourself in a jam. David isn't the man you want to marry, in spite of his money. You're not his type. Besides, yoa're in love with me." "Well!" Ina choked, groping for adequate words to express her rage. "Preston Mason, I think you're the most insolent, insulting, conceited person I've ever known. I wouldn't marry you if you were the last person on earth! You--you haven't even a sense of honor or selfrespect, else you wouldn't have tricked me into coming out here." The next day walk, returning on at about the time Preston was due to come along, en route home from his duties in the neighboring town. She heard the familiar chug of his ancient automobile before it reached her, and despite .herself her heart, began to pound. She knew a feeling of relief when the chugging slowed down and a familiar voice asked her if she wanted to ride. During the drive back W town Preston talked about the weather and about th$ country £lub dance and even touched on the general Mazie Quits . Job; Bums on Own Now Character Plans to Write Book. .; .

"Preston Mason, I think you're the most insolent, insulting, conceited person I've ever known." "If you didn't care," said Preston easily, "you wouldn't have let yourself be tricked." Which remark stung Ina to the quick. She whirled, white with I rage, and left' him standing there, j Inside she saw David. Rollins, and J she went to him. "Take me home, J David. I've--I've a headache." David was delighted. He got her i wraps and helped her into his $8,000 : roadster and tucked a robe about • her slippered feet, for the night was chilly. His concern regarding her alleged headache was thrilling. So thrilling, in fact, that when they ! reached the drive at Ina's home she did not at once offer to get out. Instead, in reply to his questions she admitted that her headache had ; vanished and she felt quite fit. i Whereupon David reached into* his pocket and produced a little box. ; Ina gasped when he opened it at ; the sight of the diamond that spar- , kled there. ! "Darling," he said, "I know I | shouldn't expect you to love me so ; soon, but tomorrow I'm leaving for Chicago on a two weeks' business trip. I thought if--would you wear it until I got back. Sort of--on ap- I proval. It would make me trem»»n- ! dously happy, and yofl would have two weeks to think things over." | He waited hopefully, his eyes pleading. Ina's thoughts were chaotic. Preseatly she thought of Preston Mason and the episode on the club veranda. She thought of this and she thought j of that. And in the end she held I oat her hand and David slipped the ring on the proper finger and then kissed her. Three days after David's depar- 1 ture Ina gave up trying to drive thoughts of Preston from her mind i and quite openly began to wonder 1 why he hadn't called. It wasn't like Preston not to call. That was what had always annoyed her about Preston. He had always taken it for granted that she wanted him to call, ! that she was interested in him, that I she even loved him. His attitude | went against her grain. If he only i weren't so irresponsible, if he poa- • sessed a sense of honor or scruples ( or was willing to admit that her I winning required an effort, she | might--well, she might even like I Preston. Obviously Preston had changed. She hadn't seen him since that night at the country club and he hadn't called by phone. Not like Preston at all. Almost with a feeling of horror she wondered whether he had ceased being interested in her. She wondered, too, what he would be like, if such were the case. Finally, she decided to find out. It was as good an excuse as any to see him. he deposited her at her own doorstep Ina was furious. He hadn't 1 even mentioned her ring, or their ' quarrel, or the fact that he was I contemplating suicide because of ] her engagement. The insolent thing* . It. was four full days before Ina : cooled off enough to inveigle another ride from Preston. During that period he hadn't called, and she had , been wholly miserable because of his neglect. This time she suf>- . pressed her pride by sheer willpower and phoned him. . ' "Preston," she said, "I have to get over to Oakland tonight and. the i folks are using our car Would you ! drive me over and back?" j "Why," said Preston, politely en- i thusiastic, "I'd love to." i And in ten minutes he was out front. Midway to Bristol the car of ancient vintage gave a couple of fitful coughs and died. " Preston looked concerned and apologetic. Of all times to have this happen! Would there be serious consequences if. she didn't reach Oakland within the hour? Oh, no, Ina told him, it 'wasn't important. And she blessed the fact that Preston wasn't rich, because if he were rich he could af- { ford a car that wouldn't break down, i There was nothing to do but wait ! until another car came along by j which they could send word to the ! nearest garage. Ina made herself comfortable. Preston lit a ciga- : rotte. There followed a period of j silence. Presently Preston sat up-; right with a start. "What is it?" asked Ina in faint i alarm. j "Heavens!" said Preston. "I just thought of something." Without warning he leaned over and kissed her. "There." "Preston Mason," began Ina angrily, but Preston interrupted. "Now don't start lecturing, about my sense of honor. I've a clear conscience. It just occurred to me that if you had na 'moral sense of honor than to g§ out with me while you're engaged to another man, there'p no reason for me to be bothered by scruples either." "I'm not engaged." •'You're Wearing David's ring." "It's only i on approval and-- and--" "To teach me a lesson," Preston finished. Ina bit her lip. "Oh, Preston, everything's so confused in my mind. I don't know what to do. I really didn't have to go to Oakland tonight. I--" "Well, the car isn't really broken down,„ either. I can start it any time. Shall.!?" ignition switch.

Survey Show* Profeiiw ' Is Not Absent-Minded NEW ORLEANS.--The old saw about the absent-minded professor . is out of date. Dr. Logan Wilson, Tulane sociolo- 1 gy professor who has just completed ( a study of the typical professor, says he is neither absent-minded, i old fashioned nor crochety. He's a relatively alert family man with one ! or two children. , He is more self-critical than most • folks and leans over backwards to j avoid conformance to a stereotype. ; Nor is he particularly inclined toward political or social radicalism. Dr. Wilson found in opposition to j another popular belief. The typical professor has a Ph.D., teaches English and has taught in his present post from 6 to 10 years after teaching first in another institution. If he engages in research work besides teaching, he not'only stands higher in popular esteem but also has a brighter pecuniary future. Few universities, declares Dr. Wilson, have a prdnotional policy based solely on teaching.

University Initiates Eye-Conscious Class STATE COLLEGE, PA.--Prospective Johnny Doughboys with weak eyes won't flunk the army physical examination at the Pennsylvania State college under a new "eye-conscious" program originated by the school of physical education and athletics. A compulsory vision clinic has been established for freshman hygiene classes in order to make potential draftees more "eye-minded." The clinic will be conducted by H. R. Jones, chairman of the Pittsburgh division, Illuminating Engineering Society of America. j Uncle Sam's future soldiers will be instructed in three phases. The students will be taught by lecture aod demonstration concerning the proper care of eyes; preliminary examinations will be made by the student health service and college reading clinic; and students will be guided to the right type of eye specialists for correction. If financial, assistance is needed, college authorities will direct them to available loan funds. "We believe that students must feel responsible for preparing themselves now, not when they get in the army," Dr. Arthur F. Davis, associate professor of physical education in charge of the program, said. "This clinic prepares students mentally and helps them beat the gun." Dr. Davis said that the college would also teach the fufcire draftee and volunteer about preventive eyestrain. Advice will be gi»'en on eye rest, adequate ilium ink tion, eye cleanliness, study habits, protection from infectious disease?, fatigue, nutrition, and light evolution. Two surveys will be made. There will be a study of lighting conditions in dormitory and fraternity rooms, «nd another group will determine laboratory lighting where concentrated work is done. "If the army and navy want men who can see clearly, students must he taught to prevent instead of waiting to cure eye conditions," Dr. Davis said. Horse Returns, Pulling Xart Loaded With Grief fcOLUMBUS.--Ttie silent art of pulling milk Argons is a hard one to revive. Horses are not difficult to find, according to George L. Harper, divisional engineer for the Borden Dairy company, but teaching them to work between the shafts in -city traffic is a patience-wracking process. After you teach them the old tricks, it's a problem to find wagons --and if you get the wagons you have to manufacture your own gear. Horse blankets, harness and nosebags are nearly as hard to obtain as the shoes. Antique shops have been ransacked for old style oil lanterns for the early-morning milk rounds. The dairy has assembled a strange assortment ef odds and ends from junkyards and warehouses. The company is manufacturing wagons by hand, using scrapped auto wheels, hand-made shafts and brakes forged in company shops.

You see the laying of a barrage before the offensive and two Red army anti-tank riflemen waiting tensely for the approach of German tanks. You see one man firing and another loading a tank. Russian tanks, with the words, "For the Motherland" painted on their turrets, are shown crashing into villages of pulverized cottages and Russian assault troops are seen leaping through window frames to rout the enemy from their fortresses. The whole scene occurs in clouds of dust, flying rubber and splashed earth. The camera takes you as near to real battle as you will ever get without joining the army and you sense the thrilling tenseness .of the Kharkov offensive.
