New ideas are old-fashioned ideas, she says,
paradoxical as it may sound Smart
to use old-fashioned ideas if results .
obtained in modern way.
REVEALS COOKING SECRETS
New Ideas are ,old -fashioned Ideas.
Paradoxical but true, nevertheless,
as brought out by Miss Coates in
her first day's program of cookery
at the Safeway cooking school this
afternoon at the Sacajawea ballroom
attended by a record crowd.
Hombmnkers learned from Miss
Coates that it's smnrt to do old
fas) J oned things -that Is if they
ore done in a modern way.
Local homemakers today are In
posesslon of a number of new secrets
that will almplify housekeeping and
permit them to serve the same food
disguised to appear like something
different. Among n number of help
ful things to dp and not to da the
learned:
Disregard all rules and .regulations
and put rice on in cold water and
boil for 15 minutes to make each
grain stand out by itself. That chil
dren adore eating gelatin If it is
colored and served In cubes of dif
ferent hues. That glazed apples are
merely baked apples in a new. dress
and given that professional appear
ance noted in restaurants. That a
very new open-faced egg sandwich
and a panama salad make complete
luncheon when served with a cup
of tea. That bread pudding may be
made so that it isn't dry if house -'
wives follow the bread pudding recipe
of Julia Lee Wright's mother as dem
onstrated at the cooking school. That
magic lemon cream pie with meringue
Is Just the thing to servo on spe
cial occasions. -; That the graham
cracker roll is suitable when tho
simple dessert is desired.
Miss Coates also demonstrated proper-
ways of making coffee and pre
pared before the very eyes of the
large audience of hamemakers such
interesting dishes as pastry twigs, '
standard biscuits, a delicious meat;
roll, which -can be made from left1
overs and served In almost any cmcr- j
gency. She also prepared a platter 1
meal using that old favorite corned
beef and garnished with spiced dried i
prunes. I
She told her audience at this first
cooking session that It Is not good
farm to use lighted candles as a part
of tho tablo setting for the Informal
luncheon.
In tho second cooking school ses
sion Miss Coates will feature the buf
fet supper and the proper foods for
informal entertaining. She will open
the session with a demonstration of
the famous white cake which has won
prizes in many of the cooking schools
conducted by Julia Lee Wright, na
tional director of the Safeway home
makers' bureau.
450 WEED SHEDS FOUND
IN POUND OP OATS
.AMES, Iowa (P) It is not un
common, says an Iowa State college
plant pathologist, to find 450 weed
seeds in each pound of seed oats.
This means 43,200 weeds an acre.
If conditions are favorable,, or one
noxious plant to nearly one square
foot.
'Plvo live weed seeds per gram of
alfalfa seed, or 2,250 per pound, may
result in 33,750 weeds to an acre.
So B, H. Porter, the pathologist,
concludes that farmers should test
seed for purity and viability and that,
since It costs no more to plant good
seed man poor, farmers should avoid
this possibility of low production.

SPADES AND SPADING FORK
TECHNIQUE
Some ' veteran gardeners will not
consider the. garden as properly dug
unless it Is dug with aspnde. Oth
ers will never think of using any tool,
but a spading fork; The spade is the
better tool for clean digging where
the gardener wishes, to follow, straight
lines. It also' will turn the soil' more
completely and thoroughly' and if the
trench 'and fill method Is used the
spade Is Indispensable because the soil
will remain In the spade to be tossed
into the waiting trench. A portion
of it Is bound to fall through the
tines of the fork.
Heavy soil Is m,ore easily penetrat
ed with a fork. It is more easily
turned with a spade so there Is no
argument on the better tool right
there. A spade in the long run will
be found the more efficient tool for
digging heavy soil. The tines of the
fork, due to the prying to lift heavy
soli, are very likely to be bent out
of alignment in working heavy and
clayey soils.
For lighter soil, the spading fork Is
much the easier tool to use and It
ts also a faster method and less la
bor loaa. A gardener needs both a
spade and a spading fork. When largo
holes are to be dug to set out bushes
or trees, a spade must be used to do

Churchill Urges
Anglo-American
Co-operation
LONDON, May II W ' Anglo
American co-operation In preparation
for a world money conference was
urged Tuesday by Winston Churchill
in the house of commons.
"I regard International action to
prevent a further drop In prices as
the only method of avoiding a world
crash far greater than any thing we
have experienced up to now" he said.
If the United States and Great
Britain would approach this subject
together, he declared, France would
associate herself with them the very
next day.
"What's the use of holding the
Lausanne conference before the presi
dential election in the United States?"
Mr. Churchill demanded.
"We could not chooso u worse time
for launching any proposal for modi
fication of debts and reparations.
Reason and knowledge are Very largely
silent In every election time, and the
American Democrats and Republicans
will vie In denouncing any proposal
emanating from a European confer
ence.
'Each party will be the one to ex
tract the last uttermost farthing. By
precipitate action at Lausanne wo
might very easily destroy a powerful
movement In favor of debt revision
which is spreading more widely all
the time through all the political
parties In the United States."-

BAKING
How many times have you wished you could have
delicious chocolate cakes and cookies without the
necessity for grating and melting the chocolate,
and mixing it in afterwards, when your batter
is "touchy"?
Use Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate instead, and
you can save those three steps. Ghirardelli's is in
powdered form and so they are unnecessary. Just
drop your Ghirardelli's into the sifter with the
other dry ingredients.
...
Ghirardelli's has the full fine flavor that only real
chocolate can have plus convenience. That's why
it's the West's favorite. . . .
