If you did you can have dinner on the table in half an hour some evening when you come rushing home just ahe^d of your lord and master and he is ravenously hungry. No leftover bridge salad for him. He needs nourishment. He wants his "vittles" and he wants 'em now. Make a baking powder biscuit dough according to your favorite recipe. The dry ingredients may be mixed before you leave for your party. Then jnst add milk at last minute. Don't bother rolling them out Just drop from spoon. They are just as good and look even more appetizing. Cut up leftover meat and put into buttered casserole. If any potatoes or vegetables are left over, add these too. Heat in oven while biscuits are baking. Place biscuits on top of meat, etc., just before serving. If you prefer, roll biscuit dough out larger than casserole top and place on meat before baking. Thii method is not so good as it leavi bottom portion, of biscuit rath soggy. Of course you have added left-over gravey to rest of ingredients before heating. Thin gravy with hot water. If not enough potatoes ,are leftover, cut up a ffew and cook quickly. Add to pie or mash and serve separately. SAFETY AGAIN DRIVING Traffic accidents In the single month of July last year killed only 900 fewer Americans than were killed in the Revolutionary war. That ironic fact underlines the National Safety Council's campaign to reduce accidents, especially on the nation's highways, over the Fourth of July--the day which commemorates that victori^ us^fruggle for Independence. The Revolutionary war cost 4,044 patriots who were killed in action or who died of wounds. Traffic accidents in July last year killed 3,160 persons, accprdf ing to the Council.

American dead from enemy action in the eight conflicts of our history, including the war In Korea, total about 538,000, the Council said, while traffic accidents hare now claimed more than 871,000. "With traffic deaths approaching the 1,000,000 mark, the highhazard period of the Fourth of July celebration is a good time for every motorist to pledge that he won't be one in a million," said Ned ,H.
