Ask Me Another.
Some of the “ask me another’
question lists now current earn
informing answers, while man'
of them are extremely trivial am
merely tend to clutter up th<
mind with usuless facts.
A writer in the Boston Trans
scrip has dug upa listof old tim<
questions, showing the tiend o
inquiry in the Middle Ages. Her<
are a few:
“Why did God not will that i
man should be hungry only onc<
a week? Answer: Hunger is ;
punishment for Adams sin.
“What makes beast mad? An
s ver: Looking at a certain sta>
on the 2i«t day of the Marcl
moon.
“Why did Noah bring serpents
in the ark? Answer: In obedienc<
to God, who, having created them
for his glory, did not wish them
destroyed.
“What language does a deaf
mute understand in his heart?
Answer: Adam’s, therefore He
brew. A child brought up with
out peing taught any language
would speak Hebrew spontane
ously.
“If my parents bad not exist
ed, how should I have been bom?
Answer: The number of living
thingsare forseen fn m all etem
ity, henct you wiu d have been
born from other parents.
“When God made Adam, bow
o’d was he?( No answer).
“Will idiots be damned? (No an
swer).”
While the propounders of tin
questions appealed to claim a
unusual insight into the working'
of the Almighty, they hesiutec
to venture answers to the las'
two. We, too, would hesitate t<
answer them, although we bav
heard people refer to that kind
of idiots.
Fake Prize Schemes
A rather ancient scheme fo>
separating the unwary from their
money is being worked again
both in the United Stales anc
Canada, according to a leading
business men’s magazine.
The plan is to insert an ad
vertisement containing a perfect
ly simple puzzle which anyom
can easily solve, and offer prizes
for correct solutions. A favorib
prize is a “building lot.’’
Os course, anyone who sends
in a solution of the puzzle wins a
lot, but he is informed that he
will be expected to remit a small
sum—in one case s7.7s—for the
deed and other incidental ex
penses connected with the trans
fer of the properly. The “Jot’’ is
very small and the $7 75 fees
slope would net the seller around
S2OO an acre for some worthless
land.
So if the “winner" swallows
the bait he is out just $7.75 for
the privilege of working the
puzzle, while his name is passed
along to other swindlers as that
of an esay mark.
There are many perfecl’y
legitimate prize offers advertise
ed in various periodicals, but
those which require a payment
of cash before the prize is de
livered are generally fraudulent
and should be shunned.

The Wise Hostess Serves
But One Course at Parties
By JOSEPHINE B. GIBSON
Director, Home Economics Dept.,

WHEN we entertain, deciding
upon th® menu for the party
supper is uu important problem—
and often u puzzling one. Suppers
planned for late In the evening
should be composed of interesting
and unusual food; yet, for the sake
of the hostess, they should be easy
to serve and require very little laat
pilnute preparation. Your guests,
tee, would prefer that you serve
something light and simple, for
most people, realize that it is not
wise to eat an elaborate meal too
near bed time.
The wise hostess solves this prob
lem by limiting her refreshments
to one course. This may be a salad,
a rarebit, waffles, or a dessert and
coffee but she serves only one
course, and not two or three. This
is the beet way to avoid having a
meal that Is entirely too hearty to
be eaten so late.
The following single-course party
suppers are easy to prepare and
serve, and are of a type that your
guests will enjoy:
Mixed Fruit Salad with Cream Cheese
and Currant Jelly Dressing
Crisp Crackers Drop Cookies
Coffee
Pineapple or Peach V psidejiown
Cake with IT hipped Cream
Coffee Salted Nuts

CANADA’S VIEWPOINT
AND now it’s Canada which j
comes to the defence of tha
"can-opener wI f e.” Frederick ;
William Wallace, author of "Cap-:
tain Salvation," "Tea from China"|
and many other stirring tales, is
also Vice President of the Na- 1
tional Business Publications, Lim-;
ited. Vice President of the Cana- 1
dlan Fisheries Association, a for-'
met Vice President of the U. S.
Fisheries Association, and Manag
ing Editor of the Canadian Fish
erman. In a recent issue of the
Canadian Canner and Preserver
he had an article entitled “‘A
Race of Can-Openers’—and Why
Not?" in which he stated: “By
modern processes of booking
canned foods aye good foods. . . .
The food and the cans are per
fect. What we really need is a
better can-opener!”
But read the article for your
self. It is a vivid reply to a
"slur” made by a prominent
Canadian personality to the effect
that Canadian women were be
coming a race of can-openers.
"A gentleman in Chatham,
Ontario,” he wrote, “has publicly:
characterized the present genera
tion of Canadian women as ‘a
race of can-openers.’ His remark
was made ip ths reproachful
sense.
"A favorite gag applied to the
modern housewife is that ‘she
does her cooking with a can
opener.’
“The truth of the matter is
that the modern housewife has
more sense than her mother.
"Mother, God bless her, was a
slave in the kitchen. The major
part of her day consisted in a
perambulating cycle between
stove, sink and table. She mar
ried a man to be his cook and
house-keeper.
“The young wife of today
knows better and does better.
But she would be in no better
state than was her mother if it
The greater length of Ninety-Mile
: Beach leads some authorities to the
| conclusion that Daytona Beach is
i rapidly outliving its usefulness.

I Zealand beach is of perfect sand

pneumatic tired vehicle traveling
at high speed leaves but a slight

! whose design is a clos< secret of
■ the British government, is expected
to develop approximately seventeen
; hundred horsepower, and reach a
were net for the development of
food processing.
"The women of the world
should venerate the name of
Francois Appert. Ho was a
Frenchman who, early in the
nineteenth century, developed the
process of putting food into cans.
He is the man who is responsible
for starting the movement to take
much of the kitchen drudgery
from women’s shoulders.
“By modern processes of can
ning, canned foods are good
foods. In laost cases they are
better and purer than the fresh
product cooked at home.
"Fruits, vegetables, fish are
canned on the spot. Whin these
products go into a can they are I
cooked and hermetically sealed
against deterioration within a
few hours of gathering. The
same cannot be said of the fresh
article bought in the markets.
“By the precess of canning, all i
the flavor and healthful juices
are retained intact. Most foods,
prepared in the kitchen by the
housewife. lose their best ele
ments. They are poured down
the sink when the boiling water
is strained off.
“Not only do we get better
cooked and better quality food in
cans, but we get more variety than i
would be possible otherwise.
"Today’s housewife can serve'
you with a meal beginning with ,
hors d'oeutres of caviar, spiced |
herring or anehovies, pimento and |
olives, followed with canned j
soups of various kinds, a fruit!
or fish salad, canned chicken, ham
or tongue, and end with a dessert
of canned fruit, or a pudding or
pie made from canned preserves.
Canned foods give her range
enough to satisfy an epicure.
"Canned foods give the present
daj’ housewife more time to her
self. She has more hours to en
joy life, more time to devote to
her family. In mother’s day. a

“Before the universal use of
canned foods, shipboard travel'
ling on long passages, was a
night-mare for passengers and
sailors. Most of the food used
was salted, pickled or dried. A
foul disease called scurvy, brought
on by salted food and lack of
fresh vegetables, claimed the
lives of thousands of sailors and
passengers in the old days. Scurvy
is unknown today.
"Canned and preserved tooda
have enabled scientists and ex
plorers to cross deserts and reach
i’ue poles. They have enabled man
to reach the uttermost fastnesses
of earth. They have extended tti#
range of the miner, the lumber
man, the fisherman and the
trader. They have lightened the
food-struggle of the aboriginal
native in many a laud and all®-
viated famine conditions in num'

“When the Canadian housewife
I does more 'cooking with a can

' ion from the household drudgery
' that custom has imposed upon
her. And Canadian housewives

; time to devote to their families.
: more time to keep young. And

suffer in health or from lack of
i variety in foods.
