I was trying to explain to him that in the olden times it was customary to eat pancakes on that Clay when he interrupted with, "Gee, pancakes only once a year -- I'm glad I live in up-to-date times when we can have them as often es we want. How about making some for supper, anon?" Which was a reminder that--al- tiliough this will cone to you a hit late for "Pancake Tuesday" a Saw hints on the making of that delicacy might not be amiss. The secret of light, tender pan - *ekes lies in the cooking. Use a heavy iron or aluminum frying pau or griddle, Beat until a few drops of cold water poured into the pan retain their shape for a few see - ands. If the drops spread out on the griddle the temperature is too low. If they break up and evap- orate immediately, the y, temperature le too high. Too cool a griddle will produce pancakes which will be thin e nd tough; Too hot a griddle will brown their before the (.entre is e000ked. By adding a small amount of Mazola or other shortening to the pancake batter, you will have a mixture that does not sticlt to the pan or griddle. 1. If possible, mix batter in wide- mouthed pitcher so that it can be poured into measuring cup. One- quarter cup of batter makes one generous -sized pancake. 2. Brush griddle lightly with Mazola. Cook pancakes until they are filled with bubbles; turn and hake on other side. Do not turn more than once during ro king. * n :k Standard Pancakes 1 egg 1s cups milk J tablespoons Crown Brand Corn Syrup 134 cups alp -purpose flour 8 teaspoons baking powder 34 teaspoon salt 8„tablespoons Mazola ese teaspoon vanilla Method: Beat egg thoroughly; add milk and Crow Brand Corn Syrup; blend. Add sifted dry in- gredients in three additions, beating enough to smooth the batter, Add shortening and Ravourissg. Cook as directed. If a thick pancake is pre- ferred, use only 13e cups milk. Serve hot with hitter and Crown Brand Corn Syrup. Yield-eapproxi- mately 12 pancakes. ,k , •. If you happen to like your pa0- cakes, as so many do, of the whole wheat variety the procedure is al- most the same as the above. The only difference is that you should use an extra half -teaspoon of bak- ing powder with the whole wheat flour. and the vanilla ran be omitted it you shish, h r. 1f Dr. Gallup or some of telt other Public Opinionosers were to conduct a survey asking the ques- tion "What is the favorite of all desserts?" chances are that about 90 per of the male sex would answer "PIE".

The odor of fried onions, and also the odor of fish, can be re- moved by pouring a little vinegar into the frying pan while it is still hot. Another method is to sprinkle oatmeal in the pan and shake it over the flame nntil the meal begins to scorch. Q. Does it tire the eyes to read in a room that is brightly lighted? A. Yes; this has a tendency to tire -tire eyes. Nor should one read under a Very bright light, with the rest of tile. room in comparative darkness, The room should be in semi -darkness. Q. flow can I remove beet skins without difficulty? A. After hailing the beets, let them stand in cold water for a few minutes, and the skins can be easily removed. Q. How can 1 simplify the task of stitching heavy material on the sewing machine, such as Cretonne or canvas? A.

When Rochester starts the motor of his boss's Maxwell, or when Jack opens his underground strongroom, utuch of the audi- ence's laughter and applause is again for the sound -men, this time wiedling a fantastic collection of sirens, silueaicers, motors, and. other noisemakers. Such comedy routines don't have to be convincing, but on Si more serious prouratn the radio listener must he able to identify what he hears with the intended effect. Rec- ordings were made during the Lon- don blitz to give audiences gen- nine explosions and bomb whistles. 1f a radio play needs the noises of a country evening, some unfortun- ate sututd expert will spend a windy, damp night out of /ours to capture the effects required 'et sometimes authentic sounds aren't "realistic enough. Radio's job is to give the listener what lie Believes he hears, not what he tuatly hears. The htnnau -ear is selective: with the mind's help it can "tune Yui" the noises it isn't interested in. What the audience tspeets from radio is not always the real; thing, but a vague com- bination'of woods they Believe to be familiar. For example, the roar of auto- mobiles on a busy city street be- comes meaningless noise when broadcast, Instead, recordings of but a few horns and automobiles are used, so that the sounds are readily recognized. No matter how enthusiastic, sound men are not allowed to smash down the nearest studio door when the hard-boiled de- tective crashes into a bad -man's hideout; crushing an ordinary evooden berry box is equally realistic, When the sound of fire is required, the illusionists crumple and crush a ball of cellophane be- fore a. microphone. Before the war, it is said, crowd noises for radio plays were really the recorded shouts of Japanese baseball fans, which were played backward!
