According to recent research, beef frozen at 18 degrees F. and then thawed proved to be about 9 per cent,more tender than unfrozen beef; but beef frozen at minus 114 degrees F. was about 28 per cent more tender. Usual freezing temperatures for meat today are 0 to minus 10 degrees F., but in the future they may drop as low as minus 40 to 114 degrees. 1ME FUMOR OF OUR COfFtt.

If he's a bit on the short side he stands on a plank. If he's too tall for the girl she's built up. So, for her romantic scenes with tall Kent Smith in "Nora Prentiss," Rosemary DeCamp had to wear threeinch platform soles. But it's Ann Sheridan who really sets a recordshe kisses him 22 times.

This waa discloeed by Britton L Budd, president of the utility, who reported that aince V-J day ovor 1,000 miles of rural power lines had been added to the company's rural electric network. This accelerated rural electrification program--delayed by the warhas brought electricity to the doors of nearly 4,000 additional northern Illinois' rural establishments since the war's end. Over 8,000 of the 4,000 were connected to pow.er lines during the twelve months ended December 31. Budd said the company now had about 7,500 miles of rural power lines in serviccT throughout its territory and that lines were being built as fast as possible to bring electricity to the few reaining farnr.s awaiting service. Over 600 miles of rural power lines are under construction at present, he added. "Fanners are using more electric ity than eyejr before," Budd also pointed out. "A generation ago, electricity on the farm generally meant a (bare light bulb hanging from the kitchen ceiling, but today electricity brings the same household conveniences to the farmer as to the city dweller. "But even more important, new and better ways constantly are being- devised for speeding farm production and farm chores through use of electric power." Farm customers of Public Service company used an average of 2,803 kilowatt-hours last year. _ Electric work-saving equipment listed by Budd as accounting for the growing use of power on northern Illinois farms includes pig and chicken brooders; milking machines; milk coolers; milk stirrers; water warmers; water pumps; feed grinders and mixers; grain elevators; hay hoists; hay dryers; barn cleaners; silo unloaders; and lighting in the farm buildings, in addition to the usual houshold appliances such as refrigerators, ranges, water heaters, washers, freezers, irons, toasters, and radios. a depositor of ours flood «t J ^ -store.

High temperatures and overcooking toughen the protein and destroy the best flavor. Too bad that Jack Parr, the comic, couldn't see eye to eye about his material for the Vaughn Monroe show; he and the advertising agency that had signed him on a sixyear contract ran into difficulties, and now the deal's off.
