TESTED FIECIPES RHUBARB To many a Canadian housewife one of the early signs of spriug is the appearance of the first tender stalks of Strawberry-t'ecl rhubarb. Canadian grown rhubarb is now being welcom- ed .in many• homes and provides an opportunity for variety in the daily menu. Present sugar restrictions de- mand more care and attention in the preparation of this spring product, The Consumer Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, recommends the follow- ing tested recipes. Stewed Rhubarb 5, cups rhubarb (washed and cut into 1 inch pieces) % cup sugar 14 cup Water - Wash and dice rhubarb' but do not peel. Place in pan with water and cook over low heat until soft. Rhu- barb can be cooked in double boiler Without water if desired. When done,, remove from stove; add sugar, re- place cover and allow to stand until cool. Less sugar is required if added after the fruit is cooked. Corn syrup or honey can replace sugar In equal amounts. It should be noted that different varieties of rhubarb vary in tart- ness. Therefore the proportions given are only approximate. A general rule that might be use- ful is 2 tbsp. sugar for every cup of raw diced rhubarb. Rhubarb Foam 2 cups, diced rhubarb 1/ cup water 1 tbsp. cornstarch 14-z/ cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 2 egg whites stiffly beaten Cook the rhubarb in water until tender and then add the sugar and cornstarch which has been blended. Cook this until there is no taste of raw starch. Allow to cool. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites and vanilla. Chill and serve with a custard sauce made from the egg yolks. This will serve 4-6. Rhubarb Crisp 6 cups diced rhubarb `1. cup granulated sugar 2 tbsp. butter 24 cup flour 6 tbsp. brown sugar W cup wheat germ Dice the rhubarb nad mix with the sugar, Place in buttered baking dish. Combine the butter, flour, brown sugar and wheat germ and spread the mixture on top of the rhubarb. Bake 50-60 minutes in a moderate oven (250 degrees F.) or until rhubarb is soft and top is golden brown. Rhubarb Custard Pie Pour boiling water over 2 cups °'hopped rhubarb add 2 tsp. salt, all ow to stand 5 misutes and drain off. To the rhubarb add: 1 cup sugar; 1 tbsp. butter (melted); 1 tbsp. flour; 1 egg yolk (well beaten). Bake in lower crust. When baked, cover top with meringue made from egg white, beaten very stiff, with 3 tbsp, white sugar. BroWn in a slow oven. She was four years old when her little brother, the son and heir, ar- rived, and great was her delight in the christening party, especially the snowy white cake with the little sil- ver cradle on the top. Then, two or three weeks later, she was taken to a wedding and at the reception was close to the bride when the latter began to cut the wedding cake, Her face fell, and she rushed to het mother.

"Well," the .purious ask, "what will it be like 25 years from now?" Boiled down, the answer is: "The world of tomorrow is here. But it takes 25 years for the public at large to adopt the latest discoveries of science and mechanics into their heater." Industry is forever ahead of the hone. There is, for instance, the elec- tric eye, sometimes called the 'magic' eye, which is not magic at all, but a photoelectric cell so sensitive that it can be activated by hte light of a star. Industrially, this futuristic gad- get is utilized for the automatic open- ing and closing of doors. Suppose we throw the gears of time into high and leap ahead a quarter of a century; The first scene is that of the house- wife of 1967 on a winter day. She's quite a stream -lined model, with stockings of coal and a dress of glass. Although it is 10 degrees below zero outside, 'she's not worrying about stoking the furnace: her trans- lucent plastic "glass" house is heated by infrared rays. Well, not exactly her house, for the air remains cool. It is really the lady who is warmed, for these rays heat only the object they are focussed upon. Infrared rays also cook her water farm mango -tomatoes, the fourth crop since April last. As she waits for the electric -eye indicator to tell her that the vegetables are done, she tunes in the television to hear and see the matinee perfromance of Carmen at the opera house. Mrs. 1967 has an abundance of time to sit in front of her television set, for she has seldom any house cleaning to do since no dust is able to filter through the airtight windows, The air in her home is wholly conditioned. passed through an elecrtically charged area, then through a series of plates oppositely charged. The plates capture, quickly and silently, about 99%n of all solid matter in the attnosphere: dust, particles, soot, pol- len, and even bacteria. Today, these air cleaners, called precipitrons, are a novelty. Tomorrow they will be as commonplace as the radio. Regulations will likely require that every factory somestack in a city be equipped with them. The air in the metropolitan areas will then 'become as clean and fresh as that breathed by country dwellers. The housewife of tomorrow need not fear the possibility of her bread going moldy or the meat to'nisg bad if stored for too long a time in the refrigerator. Scientists have already discovered a death -ray weapon against spores and germs, the sterilamp. Sterilamps are now being installed by hospitals to kill ah' -borne bacteria in the operating rooms. Utensils and glasses in the larger restaurants and hotels are sterilized with the death ray lamp. Cakes and bread are pre- vented from molding, In 1967 it is quite possible that theatregoers will get baths of germ killing radiation and, if an epidemic should break out, the commissioners may prescribe attendance at irradiat- ed public places rather than quitrent- ine and isolation. And who knows, by that time death rays may be so highly developed that they will be used against insects as well as germs. The next 25 years will see great progress in itarneesing the vast down• pour of energy from the sou. Recent- ly, a patent was granted for a solar - power machine capable of. competing with coal•in the generation'of steam, This device captures the sun's rays 011 a trough•tlke aluminum mirror driven by clockwork to follow the sot's daily march across the sky. The mirror brings the rays to a sharp, hot focus upon an insulated glass tube containing a thin stream of water in constant circulation, On a bright day the water soon becomes hot enough' to flash into steam. The solar machine can do all kinds of cooking satisfactorily. It will stew, boil and preserve, and even fry eggs and bacon. Insulation makes the tem- perature of the water drop so slowly overnight that in the morning enough heat is left to bake biscuits. Several hundred solar water heat - ors, oven and stills are in operation in California. The apparatus is cheap, costs little to keep in repair and, of course, the power is free and inex- haustible. The probie mof solar energy has been attacked from another angle. If the present rate of research progress continues, the houses of tomorrow may be covered with photoelectric shingles which will provide all the household light and power. Preliminary steps have already been taken towards radical changes in methods of lighting our homes. In- stead of producing lights by the ord- inary incandescent bulb, the fluores- cent lamps work on an entirely new principle in the field of practical il- lumination. The tube of a fluorescent lamp is filled with a thin mercury vapor. Discharges of current through the vapor produce invisible ultraviolet radiation. WOMEN CLOGMAKERS Remember Their Skill at the Bench in 19141918 Women who, as young girls, made clogs for Britain's factories in the last was' are to -day returning to work alongside their sons ,and daughters at the benches. There they are making heavy protective footwear for muni- tions factories, steel workers and all kinds of industrial concerns. More important than ever, now that the loss of Malaya means less rubber for gumboots, Britain's present pro- duction of 50,000 clogs a week can be stepped up to 100,000 'without adding to existing plant. And the raw mat- erials need no shipping space; much of the leather comes from Britain's cattle herds, the wood from the beechwoods of the Chilterns, and the iron tips and pails from tate found- ries of the Midlands. The clogs are very different from the all -wooden Continental sabot. Buit up carefully and skilfully like a heavy boot, sometimes with felt linings for com- fortable wear, they are clogs only .so fan' as the sole is made of shaped beechwood, the best material for the purpose. Resisting heat, cold, water, molten metal and glass and injurious chemicals, they are much better than leather -soled boots, which would erack oe perish under suck condi- tions. They last longer, nad are quite 50 per cent cheaper than rubber.• Queen Anne is dead, but not a clog factory founded during heir reign which made footwear for the soldiers of Marlborough and has the same family represented on its board as in 1703, Standing opposite the "blitzed"' ruins of Bow Church, London, the men and women working there to -day are turning out over 100 pairs of clogs a week each for explosives 'works, collieries, chemical, gas and electrical works, bottling and canning, factories, steel "roiling mills, laund- ries, railway workshops, Stables, gar- ages, glassworks, dairies, breweries, distilleries, oil refineries and so on.
