HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1936-01-02, Page 2Y.. Woman Golf Champion Joins Jolly Foursome Children of assorted sizes offer mothers loth of problems. One diffi- culty is when they come home from school at different hours for their noon meal. You can't be constantly cooking, yet each must have hot ap- petizing, nourishing, easily -digested food. One answer is chowder and custard -like desserts. There's a lot to be said for the chowder made with milk. It contains a large amount of nourishment, is easily digests a and is not rich enough to produce the heavy feeling that frequently makes afternoon work so trying. GUIDE TO DESSERT Serve with the soup toast croutons or, toasted crackers to supply bulk; radishes and celery for crispness. When an egg or meat salad is served with a chowder luncheon a simple dessert made without eggs is best—for instance, applesauce and canned or fresh fruit, fruit Betty with hard sauce, fruit tapioca pud- ding or plain rice pudding. However, when a plain green salad is planned, rice custard puddings, custard bread pudding and desserts rich in eggs will fill the bill. This type of dessert actually supplies the food value ordinarily furnished in the main course of a meal. The composition of the chowder is an important factor in determining the type of salad and dessert. If grated cheese is stirred into the hot soup just before serving the food value is increased. Eggs also in- crease its food value. If the chowder must stand for some time between servings, it's a good idea to add an egg -to each individual portion as it is served. Corn And Tomato Chowder Two cups diced potatoes, 1 can corn, 2 cups tomatoes, 1 onion, 4 tablespoons diced salt pork, 4 table- spoons minced parsley, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 1-2 cups milk. Fry fat slowly from salt pork and diced onion. Cook slowly until ten- der but not brown. Add potatoes, corn, tomatoes, pepper, sugar and parsley and 4 cups boiling water. Simmer until potatoes are tender and add milk. Serve with toast or toast- ed crackers. Date Pecan Pie One and one-third cups sweetened condensed milk, 2 eggs, 1-2 cup pit- ted dates, 1-2 cup pecan nut meats, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1-8 teaspoon salt, 1 unbaked eight -inch pie shell. Chop dates. Beat eggs separately, heating yolks until thick and lemon colored. Combine milk, dates, nuts, vanilla, salt and egg yolks. Fold in whites of eggs beaten until stiff. Turn into unbaked pie shell and put into a hot oven (425 degrees F.) for ten minutes. Reduce heat 300 de- grees F. and bake half an hour long- er. Cool thoroughly before serving. If you want to serve this pie to eluate small children use a graham cracker crust. This kind of crust is considered more desirable for small children than the usual pie crust. DONT'S FOR HOUSEWIVES Don't dry clean in the house. Don't ieave the children Iocked in the house and go visiting. Don't forget to dry the family toothbrushes in the sun one day a week. Don't let the family step out of their clothes and leave them on the floor, Insist upon their being hung up. Don't let the children be wasteful with electricity and Ieave lights burning all over the house. Teach them to turn them off when leaving St room. Don't leave half the contents of the food. in the tin in which it came. If all is not used, turn the remain- der on a china dish and put away in refrigerator to be used later. THE KITCHEN FLOOR Since most kitchen floors these days are covered with linoleum this type of covering is due for first con- sideration. Linoleum are made of a cork, on a cloth foundation and then the whole is waxed or vanished over the top. Because of its porous nature and usually colored patterns, it should be given very special care. Way To Clean When a housewife complains be- cause her linoleum wears out in two years of use, provided she has pur- chased a good grade of linoleum, you can lay, the blame for the wearing quite often at the feet of the person who cleans the floor. Linoleum should be washed in te- pid water, never hot, and suds from white soap should be used. After the washing, the floor should be rinsed well, as soap will leave the linoleum streaked and if left on the linoleum will tend to dry out the oil in the finish. One shduid be careful not to put too much water on the linoleum floor; as the water will seep through and soak up the seams and tend to rot the burlap on the back. Scouring powders or harsh water softeners should be ruled out when it comes to washing linoleums. These tend to dry out the linseed oil binder and make the linoleum dry and crumbly, with the result that before long it is unfit for use. Preserve The Oil Quite often it is a good idea to add enough sweet milk to the rins- ing water to make it a milky color, and the oil in the linoleum will be preserved. Any number of floor finishers are sold commercially. These are rub- bing waxes, waxes that give a gloss but require no rubbing, non -slip, no - rubbing finishes and lacquers and varnishes. The best way to preserve the lin- oleum is to Iacquer or varnish it first and then apply a coat of wax to pro- tect the finish from scratches. When just varnish or lacquer are used, scratches from sand on shoes and scuffling will cause ugly marks and the whole floor will have to be re- done, as the finish cannot be patch- ed up. That is why it is advisable to apply the wax; because the lacquer will do its part to 'seal the pores. As for waxes, it might be a good idea for every housewife to take enough time off to go and check up on the various kinds available. There are waxes that require rubbing in, there are others that are a liquid that need merely be applied with a soft cloth and then allowed to dry, and then will reward the worker by brightening the linoleum and giving it a lustre. There are also waxes that clean and wax at the same time, and this last type is especially good for linoleums, since the use of wat- er Is not necessary. HOME. HINTS Dog Biscuit A good substitute for dog biscuits can be made by placing stale bread in the oven until it is as crisp as pulled bread. It can be stored in a tin box and used with the dog's meat and gravy. his will save the expense of buying biscuits. Identification See that each purse, billfold, brief- case, or shipping bag contains a card bearing the owner's name, address, and telephone number, in case the article should be lost. The major- ity of people will keep an article if it bears no identification, but will return it if It does. If the curtains are rather worn, and there Is fear that laundering might tear them, place them in a er becomes dirty, remove the bag and repeat the process. By this me- thod there will be no strain on the material. The women's 17. S. national golf champion, Mrs. Edwin H.

The "Queen Mary" Progresses September saw the anniversary of the launching of the Cunard White Star liner Queen Mary, and next spring should see her begin her service across the Atlanta'. The great vessel has not only provided numbers in the Clyleside area, but has caused the wheels of industry to revolve more quickly throughout the country. Lancashire, for ex- ample, has supplied bed linen; Birm- ingham, a city almost as far from the sea as it is possible to be in Eng- land, is supplying a large part of the lighting equipment; while from Yorkshire came oil, to mage cores, used in the making of castings for the equipment of various parts of the ship, and so on. It would, in- deed, be difficult to find an indus- trial centre which did not have some share in the building of this ship. The entire hull and upper decks of the ship are now practically com- plete, and the many kinds of. crafts- men required have begun to carry out the interior decoration and equipment, whichc will, of course, be on the most lavish and up-to-date lines. Heavy Increase In Implement Sales For the 12 months ending Septem- ber 1935, Canada's imports of farm machinery and implements show a very heavy increase compared with the preceding 12 months. In the 12 - month period ending September 30, Canada imported farm implements to the value of $5,454,781 compared with a total of $3,051,112 in the preceding 12 months. As regards Canada's exports of farm -machinery in the 12 -month period ending September 30, her ex- ports exceeded imports by a consid- erable amount. Total exports for the 12 months ending September 30 were $5,724,375.00. In the preceding 12 months our exports were value at only $2,682,014; so that in the year the export business of Canadian im- plement factories increased by over 100 per Dent. In the 12 -month period ending Sep- tember 30 last, Canada imported 450 Diesel engines, 953 harvesters, plows valued at $58,547.00, 16 threshers and 2,189 tractors for farm use. Tractors as imported during the year were valued at $1,802,903.0 and parts for tractors in general use, $1,489,138.00. Other imports in the above period included 277,041 cwt. of binder twine valued at $1,675,943.00 and so 3,578 washing machines and 5,299 pumps. In the export business for the 12 months ending September 30, Canada shipped 190,680 cwt. of binder twine valued at $1,100,421.00, In the total farm machinery exports valued at $5,742,375.00 were included. 7,618 cul- tivators, 1,442 grain drills, 3,479 har- vesters and binders, 4,431 mowers, plows and parts valued at $1,100,- 851.00. A total of 814 reaper threshers were exported in the 12 months; also threshing machines valued at $505,- 949,00. Canada also exported washing machines valued at $436,742.00; and 11 tractors were exported from this country. Women May Serve On Australian Juries Before the year closes women might be acting as jurors in Aus- tralia and also sitting on the bench. The Minister of Justice of New South Wales, L. 0. Martin, has pro- mised to introduce a bill to give wo- men that privilege. They would not be presiding mag- istrates, but act as assessors do in industrial courts. They would be per- itted to express, to the presiding magistrate, with becoming brevity, it is hoped, their opinions on the cases. The desire to do this has long held a place in the thoughts of women who are active in public affairs, and they are bent upon translating ani- bition into fact. The Children's Court is their first objective. They claim that they are better qualified to deal with young children than the ordin- ary magistrate. The Children's Court, however, deals with cases of youths aged 18 years, as well as with younger ones, and even women ad- vocates admit that a man is better able to deal with some older juven- ile offenders than a woman. They argue, however, that a wo- man's presence, coupled with a word in . season to the man presiding, might be beneficial. Past and pres- 'ent 'magistrates do not all agree with that opinion. There are women jus- tices of the peace, of course, in Syd- ney Certain ardent feminists ask why they should not sit on the Bench, but not even male justices of the ']peace sit on the Bench in Syd- ney. It is said in quarters most fa- miliar with the working of the courts that they never will. I tell you, my fellow -Christians, your love has a broken wing, if it cannot fly across the ocean.

Judge's Train Jolt Aids Woman's Plea VIENNA.—An Austrian law court recently held its sitting in an ex- press train, descending a sinuous mountain track at speed, in order to reconstruct an incident which had caused a passenger to sue the State Railways for $700 damages. The case concerned a woman crossing the Anstro-Italian frontier by train who rose from her seat to show the customs officer her pass- port and claimed she was hurled by the jolt of the coach into the arms of a League of Nations delegate sit- ting opposite and sustained a slight nervous shock. The counsel for the defence de- clared it the passenger's duty to be on her guard, while passing a hilly section, and nearly had State Rail- ways acquitted. But the judge decid- ed to have the self -same railway coach sent from Poland to Austria to re-enact the affair. The reconstruction was so realistic that on the curve in question the judge found himself thrown into the arms of "the counsel, with the result that the plaintiff was eventually awarded nearly $500 damages. • Test Shows Honesty Produces Better Liars BURLINGTON, Wis. — Downright honesty is producing better liars than ever before. "Liars this year are more original and subtle," 0. C. Hulett, president of the Burlington Liars' Club, says. The club will choose the world champion liar for 1935 from 4,500 candidates. "They're being honest by not try- ing any more to palm off as their own idea that old worn out one about the heat, making the corn pop in the fields. The result is real or- iginality." As an, example, Hulett recounted the offerings of Mrs. B. J. Hall, of Mabel, Ore. She wrote: "My husband and I were out tour- ing and stopped at a hotel which we found was overridden with bed- bugs. When we complained to the manager, he indignantly declared: '!Madam, there's not a single bedbug in this building.' "We went back to our room and looked and lo and behold he was right. They all were married and had large families." Arthur Brady, of Bristol, Penn., said his city's police have trained mosquitoes that are allowed to taste the blood of persons suspected of be- ing drunken drivers. ..Human-Yinterest Story This is a simple .little human -in- terest story, a true story of a man. who was down but not out, whose head was "bloody but unbowed' in "the fell clutch of circumstance" --� who has emerged triumphant frrom, the night that covered him, Two or three years ago this man drifted into The Ottawa ;Journal office. He was shabby and penniless, and because there was no alternative he was living at the Union Mission, doing such odd jobs as offered, He was well educated, had been trained in one of the professions, had held, good jobs before the depression, broke in upon his career. He wanted advice—and work—but no favors. This man did not whine and winna- ble. He did not complain about his hard luck, did not blame anybody. He would have felt much more at home in the Chateau Laurier than in the Mission, but he accepted the Mission's hospitality with gratitude and in fact wrote for this page a couple of articles about that insti- tution which some readers will re- call. He was deeply interested in his fellow -unfortunates, the obvious perils of their nomadic life, but he saw that in an extraordinary emerg- ency the State had not failed in its duty. Presently the man drifted away. There were no farewells — his calls ceased, and that was all. Months passed with no word of him, and now comes a letter from a little min- ing town in Northern Ontario. He was at work, in his profession, was happy and contented, doing some- thing useful, something that gave him support .n,i prospects. —Ottawa Journal, Chic Home Frock Fashioned like the good looking sports model with "little boy" collar for which you've always • envied your brother, The useful shirred pocket adds touch of femininity, Dark ground cottons, tweedy and linen_like weave cottons, of sports influence, are especially lovely for this simple to sew dress.
