Ber and Shaw was once asked
why he—a professed haterof the
tgots — had a housekeeper who
ailed from the 'land of Cakes.' His
answer was typical of the man.
Because," he said, "the Scots are
the only people in the world who
really understand oatmeal"
Whether Shaw is right or not
about that, it isn't for me to say.
However, I think that a lot of you
will realize the delightful possibil-
ities of oatmeal—I really should
say 'rolled oats' — after you've
tried these.
OATMEAL PANCAKES
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups scalded milk
2 eggs
Vs cup melted shortening
(or salad oil)
!3 cup sifted flour
2 teaspoons double -action
baking powder (or 2y,
teaspoons any other type)
1 tablespoon sugar
Ie teaspoon salt
Method
Pour 2 cups scalded milk over 2
sups quick -cooking oats, stir, and
10 stand till cool, Then beat in 2
egg yolks and the 1h cup melted
shortening. Sift together 1's cup
sifted flour, the baking powder,
sugar and salt. Add to oats mixture.
Fold in the two egg whites, stiffly
beaten. Drop by spoonfuls on hot
griddle (greased, if necessary) and
brown on both sides. Yield; eight-
een pancakes. (Private note—espe-
'dally good with honey.)

With the hens starting to lay
more plentifully, (I hope) maybe
you'll feel that you can spare
enough to make a Chiffon Pie for
some festive occasion—or just to
top off a Sunday dinner, for that
matter. And here Ion going to take
Ante out for a few seconds to speak
ante again about the convenience
of what are known as "crumb"
-*rusts.
They Want Some
Changes Made
In the April issue of the Farm
Journal, published in Philadelphia,
there is a column devoted to sug-
gestions from readers regarding
things they would like to see in-
vented, designed, changed, and so
on. Those sending these suggestions
in are, of course, residents of the
United States. We are wondering
!tow many of therm will appeal to
Canadian met and women.

side of neckties so they can be kept

You can make these crumb crusts
from vanilla or chocolate cookies;
graham crackers, or corn flakes—to
mention just a few of the possi-
bilities. They're all made time same
way except the corn flakes, which
uses brown sugar as well as the
melted butter.
Roll about 2 dozen crackers —
enough to make a cup -and -a -half of
crumbs. Pour in % cup melted but-
ter. Toss with a fork to mix well.
Press into a 9 -inch pie pan. Chill
and fill. That's all. (Chilling crust
before filling makes It cut better).
For the corn flakes crust you roil

melted butter with a wooden spoon,

Now, at long last, we come to
that filling. Lemon Chiffon is tate
general favorite, but there are
dozens of variations.
LEMON CHIFFON FILLING
1 envelope gelatin
1/1 cup cold water
4 eggs •
% cup sugar
5 teaspoon salt
cup lemon juice
% teaspoon grated lemon rind
Method
Soak 1 envelope gelatin in a quar-
ter -cup cold water. Beat together
4 egg yolks, half -cup of sugar, and
a quarter -teaspoon salt. Add the
lemon juice and lemon rind. Cook
over boiling water, stirring con-
stantly until thickened. Stir in gela-
tin. Chill until thick and syrupy.
Beat the four egg whites with a
quarter -cup sugar and fold into egg

crust. Chill until firni, about three
hours.
After that? Serve—and watch it
disappear.
ARE YOU ASKING

How good are the brakes and
lights on your car? If they are only
average, you may be asking for
trouble.
Suppose you're driving at night
under good conditions -- clear
weather, dry paved road.. And sup-
pose your brakes, lights and eye-
sight are "average good."
If a dark obstacle is on the road
ahead, says a Department of Public
Safety, you can't possibly get your
car stopped until you're 50 to 75
feet beyond it.
The result, You have to hit the
obstacle or swerve to miss it. Eith-
er way, you'll be lucky to avoid a
smash-up,

and brakes. And slow down at

Dear Anne Hirst:
When I was 19, 'f married a man
I'd known only three weeks. It
ended in divorce. Now I am afraid
my son is going to make the same
mistake.
'Ile is 19, and entered the mili-
tary service right from high school.

nee, asking that
I sign legal pa-
pers to let hint

telling him he
should wait un-
til he is out of
the service and 21. If he still wants
her then, he has my blessing.
"He has no way of snaking a
living, -and since I have two young
children by my second husband, I
cannot heap him.
Was He Indulged?
"My present husband, to whom
I've been married 11 years, has done
everything he could for the boy.
My son wanted farm life, and I
made my husband give up a good
position four years ago to buy a
farm. But the boy didn't like farm-
ing, and we had to move back here.
'I wonder whether we did too
much for him? I'm worried, Anne
Hirst. We both wonder where we
failed as parents, that he should
want to do such a thing as this.

HOW CAN 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I make cold creast?
A. Take two ounces of ioii of
sweet almonds, one ounce of pure
glycerine, %-ounce of •spermaceti,
20 grains of white wax, and six
drops of oil of rose. Melt all this
together, setting the cup over boil-
ing water; then beat until perfectly
cold and snowy white. Put up in
glass or china.
Q.. How can I remove paint froth
cloth?
A. Equal parts of ammonia and
turpentine will remove paint` from
cloth, and for removing stains from
bathroom fixtures use a cloth damp-
ened with perosene.
Q. How can i sour milk when
needed in recipes?
A. Two tablespoons of lemon
juice added to one cup of sweet
milk sours it to the acidity -desired
for sour milk recipes.
Q. Hew can I make a dish of
noodles look more appetizing?
A. A noodle cheese ring filled
with creamed shrimps makes a de-
licious dish. This, combined with
an attractive fruit or vegetable sal-
ad, light dessert, and plenty of cof-
fee, will afford an ample luncheon
menu, not hard to prepare.
Q. How can I purify a sponge?
A. If the household sponge has
acquired a sour smell, It can be
sweetened by merely rubbing a
lemon into it thoroughly; then rinse
three or four times.
Q. How can I remove perfume

ide of hydrogen,

How'd You Like
Some Whale Meat?
Hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of red-blooded meat, as ten-
der and flavoursome as prime beef,
are being wasted every year in theAntarctic. Suclt is the claim made
stere by,Dr. Harry E. Lillie, noted
Scottish surgeon and whaling au-
thority, in a report prepared for the
Canadian Geographical Society on
the international whaling industry.
Dr. Lillie, who in 1946-47 was in
the Antarctic as surgeon to a Scot-
tish fleet and who has since been
engaged in surgical research work
in Canada, contends that enough
whale meat is being wasted each
season to feed Europe for more than
three months on present rations.
In his report, Dr. Lillie traces the
history of the whaling industry from
its earliest times. Known best, per-
haps, as a source of valuable oil,
used both industrially and in food
processing, whales, he believes, have
equally as great a role to play as a
source of meat.
Dr. Lillie is opposed, imowever, to
the present method used for killing
whales the explosive harpoon,
This Ise describes as the most cruel
and wasteful weapon possible. He
believes universal adoption of a
more humane method of killing,
such as electrocution, is immediately
essential.
A Whale hit by an explosive har-
poon may take anywhere up to
three hours to die, and even than
additional harpooning may be neces-
sary to end the painful struggle.
During this time putrefaction organ-
isms spread rapidly throughout the
entire animal. ,These organisms in
time give the meat a fishy, oily
flavour which detracts from its
appeal as food for humans.
Dr. Lillie believes that if all coun-
ies engaged in whaling in the
ntaretic were to kill be meads of
ectrocution it would be possible
make huge quantities of "this
tritious, tasty meat" available to
any countries,. He is 9onyifeed that
s use of whale treat would help
aterially in relieving the present
orld food shortage.
At the present time, five countries

When the stranger's bird arrived,
both parrots were put on a table.
The local parrot did not speak at all,
and the landlord had to pay his $10

When he was putting his parrot
