USE IMAGINATION IN COOKING POTATOES An industrious statistician has fig­ ured‘out that mem generally order .French fried? potatoes when they eat . in .hotels. and 'restaurants. Perhaps the reason men eat French fried po-- tafoes. in hotels is that they never get them at home. Yet they ar© not ’hard to' do. The preparation, how­ ever, ..should be careful. . Chips or Saratoga potatoes must be cut jn thin, transparent slices. French fried potatoes must be cur «hifprm in thickness. Shoestring po­ tatoes o-r potatoes . Julienne must be cut; ,>in tiny strips, literally shoe- / ‘ Souffled potatoes must be cut. ..lengthwise in slices with a per­ fect ? clean cut—no jagged edges. V . Cutting Devices Handy (.There are clever devices oh the market for cutting potatoes that in­ jure perfection and since this type Of potato cookery1 makes such, attrac­ tive . serving for various occasions, a «et of potato cutters is a worthwhile investment. r . A fat that may be heated to a irhigh temperature without smoking of burning should be used for frying. | 'A high grade vegetable oil or a firm vegetable fat give satisfactory ,* re- ■ suits because.’ either can be made ivery hot before the. fat molecules, break down. -y- w \yTo,make-French fried potatoes, p. pare potatoes and cut lengthwise iri- to strips about % inch thick. Let • stand in ice water for an hour. Drain and? dry between towels; Fry m deep — fat heated to- 395 degrees.. F?_ Cook pot more than twelve pieces at a time. Cook until'brown and crisp on , all sides, Drain on heavy brown pa­ per and sprinkle with salt. Serve, as soon as possible after frying. Select Potatoes Carefully The composition of the potatoes is important in making potato souffle because some knids will not puff .' A waxy potato gives the best results; Two kettles of fat are best. If one is used the process takes. longer. In this case, let cooked slices drain’on ■ cruifipled paper while cooking the en­ tire bhtch at a . low%'temperature. Then raise temperature of fat and finish cooking. , Select large potatoes and rub, clean. - Do •not wash. Pare evenly, slicing out eyes or imperfections instead of 'cutting around these places as one ■ usually does. Cut in1, lengthwise slic­ es not more'1 than'inch thick. A vegetable slicer will .make petfeef slices. Wipe, each slice dry and place . it between/folds of a soft tea towel. Heat fat to 265 degrees F. Or hot. enough to make' bubbles rise ..to- the’- surface when-potatoes are put in, Tut six or eight , slices into kettle . and cook five minutes, stirring’ with a long handled fork or. skimmer,. Re- ' move at once to second-' kettle in -which fat is heated to .425 degrees F. Cdok until puffed and delicately. . browned and .crisp. Drain.; on crum­ pled paper and sprinkle with 'salt.’ Keep in a Warm oven, about 300 de­ grees F., until ready, to shr^e to in­ sure crispness. Fry-Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes are good' French fried. Prepared exactly^as you do Irish potatoes. French fried onions .can be done two ways.. By. one method, yoii,. cut in slices, separate into rings, and drop into .milk. Let stand an hour. Drain and dip in flour». Fry in deep fat heated in 385 degrees F. 'Drain, sprinkle- with salt and serve, ■ The other way to dp them is. to dip, them in- a thiri batter made of 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, 1’ cup flour, arid % teaspoon‘salt. Fry in deep fat heated to 385 degrees F. The’ first method? is the easier. /SUNDAY MEALS• -. ■•■ -T. It’s heresy,.

' Even-wh'en‘"Sunday"was primarily- a day of rest,?'it was never that for riiother. But now that it has become the one time in the week when busy people get a , chance to see . their friends and relax a little, it is more than ever .important-that the/, one who prepares, the meals (gets a .bit of consideration? The best thing to do about it, ipany housekeepers have, found, is to plan a?.main meal that can be chjef;. ly cooked the day before. Then for supper rely upon such aids to quick hospitality . as cheese ■ trays, canned’ soufis, boxed cpokies, boxed beverag­ es.' ’ - ; .

They used the. same instrument of torturirig. for the' old s-teroscopic film's, but 'the results were not so good. Mr. Le^-e-ftthal ad­ mits that sound is a great- factor in heightening the illusion. The s&ltzer- sqUirtirig /episode, for > example,' is -doubly effective, because, yon hear, the zizz. and the splash when it. strikes. 'If yoU want' to cheat aixd peek at the film without the glasses, you get a blurred double-image with a red amt blue border. That is because a .double image is being projec?ted, one being blue and the rithrir red.- Leventhal explains- it 'T'lns~way7—~~-? ‘‘Th© stereoscopic, camera is ac­ tually a combination of .two cameras, so that the axes of tlie lenses, are. parallel, or nearly, so. When the camera Is turning,' each lens'" makes Its own picture. .

That, briefly, Is the wav 'it is. . If the Greeks had a word for it, it'would be the “anaglyph method.” Ml*.
