VAGE SEVEN Southern Oregon Women to Be Guests at Free Cooking School MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, 5EEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931. FOR OWN EFFORT It has taken ft woman home-service expert to discover that there U a useful domestic trait hidden ay In every hubby's heart which women may do well to cultivate. That Is, the latent desire to cook. Most married, women have dis covered that their husbands really believe they have talent in culinary ways and 'bubble over with pride when they discover that the lamb chop or sunny-side egg they have been supervising is really eatable when turned out on the plate. The home-service expert points out that encouragement of thfo de sire to cook on the part of the man of the house will inevitably lead to the purchase of more modern cook ing and other kitchen appliances, as men are progressive by nature and cannot bear to fuss with inef ficient tools. - which, nevertheless, they sometimes shortsightedly be- Jleve are quite sufficient for their wives. It is claimed that several local housewives have lately and unex pectedly fallen heir to the gift of handsome electric cooking ranges, due to this progressive tendency, (ft the man has tried to excuse his lack of success In cooking by claim ing that the range was unreliable and behind the times, and that he considered it next to marvelous his wife could get along with the facili ties she had been using. It Is the idea of the home-service expert that if a man were tied to a kitchen stove, a greasy dlshpan, and other old-fashioned housekeep ing Implements for any length of time, he would quickly turn to electric labor-saving appliances to lessen the drudgery and mess Inci dental to these dally, never-ending tasks. f Ethel Hall to Preside 4 ' 1 3 s mmtmm Tears ago the Slectrlc Range was regarded as "slow" by practically everybody, Including those who were responsible for Its exploitation. The reason why It was thought slow was that no one had figured out any change in cooking methods. Today Electric Cookery is as fast as any other method of food prepara tion. Electric heating units have been "stepped up" to deliver more heat in less time and, most Importantly, home economists have made a very simple but also very radical change in meth ods. They introduced the straight sid ed, flat-bottomed, covered utensil that fits the unit and eliminated practice of Immersing products In water when cooking. With little or no water food Is cooked better elec trically than by any other method, say local dealers who this week are showing the now 1932 model "Hos tess" the latest creation of the Gen eral Electric engineers and home economists.

COSTLY FOODS ARE OFTEN THROWN AWAY Analysis of what most housewives regard as waste (the water poured off of meats and vegetables after or dinary coking) has been proven by chemists employed by food conserva tion authorities to contain minerals, salts, natural Juices, etc., equivalent to approximately 30 per cent of the , food value of a product cooked In open pans over flame and Immersed In water to prevent scorching on the sides of utensils. Proponent of Electric Cookery "The modern method of food prepara tion" claim a saving In food cost by reason of the "waterless'' methods employed In electric cookery. With closed utensils to prevent moisture loss through steaming and no pour ing off of excess water, the electric method they claim Is the economic al method.

Ethel M. 11 nil, coast-wide authority on home economics, who will con duct lessons In modern cookery at the Mall Tribune's free school of Home Economics, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Holly theatre, j.l Mrs. Hall was Mildred Kitchen of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin. An Investigation covering thousands of homes all over the country brings forth the conclusion that the aver age American housewife prefers ft kitchen of color to the conventional white and that a large majority of them lean toward cream or buff as base with green as a trim. Green In varying shades ranked as first oholce for one-color kitchens, while red, at the other end of the spectrum took last place. The de fenders of the green, however, almost unanimously preferred green as a trim, rather than as an all-over col or. Manufacturers of enameled kitchen utensils report that the results of this survey are borne out In the pre ponderance of preference shown by housewives for utensils of cream or buff with green handles and beading. Whether the results of this sur vey were or were not anticipated by General Slectrlc stylists Is not known. If not, then It Is a peculiar coinci dence that the new Advanced 1032 model GE Hotpoint Electric Range, now being featured by the California Oregon Power company and local dealers Is to be had In cream colored vitreous enamel with rnsmrt criwn trimming as well as In the pure white J euuinei who ouver wmg gray trim.

Remember how tired and hot she used to be when hubby came home; she always wore an old dress around the house so she wouldn't ruin the nice ones she seldom had time to wear.' A General Electric Hotpoint range changed all that and electricity costs so very little only a few cents a day for Electric Range, Refrigerator, Washer, Vacuum Cleaner and all the other things.
