' Nile Daughters Plan Final Sewing Meeting Medford members of Zuleima temple, Daughters of the Nile, will meet Monday, August 18, at Girls Community club for a 12 noon potluck sewing meet ing. . This will be the last sewing meeting of the summer and Mrs. J. C. Deaver, chairman, cordially invites all Daughters of the Nils to participate. In Greece, delicious canapes are made of rice and meat wrap ped in spiced grape leaves. In any list of all - time favorite dinnerware pat terns, "Napoleon Ivy" by Wedgwood would surely rate a top spot. It was a good design when Napo leon used it at St. Helena in 1815, and it's a good design today. The crisp wreath of ivy leaves on a white background is per ennially refreshing and appealing and of course Wedgwood quality has long been a standard of excellence. Even if your fingers are all thumbs, a Reynolds floral arranger will help you make an endless va riety of really artistic bou quets. Easy-to-follow dia grams tell you just how long to cut stems, just how to place each bloom for maximum effect. Fun to own and a happy gift idea for gardening friends.

Lv i4i . - - ' - 1 srM Extension Specialist Gives Hints on Hosiery Probably no other item in a woman's wardrobe needs such care as hosiery. Here are some tips that can save money as well as a lot of irritation. They're suggested by Miss Lucy Lane, extension clothing specialist at Oregon State college. Keep stockings in a smooth container, with each pair sepa rate, instead of tumbling them together in a drawer. You may want to use smooth-lined hosiery boxes, which ' are for sale, to avoid catching the stockings on rough wood or something else in the drawer. Rinse new stockings before wearing, and wash them after each day's wear. This helps keep them in shape, and prevents pos sible damage from perspiration. Worn shoe linings, rough edges on shoes or shoe buckles, or even rough calluses on the feet can catch and snag hose. Just now, starchy petticoats and stiffened underskirts are in fashion, but they too can play havoc with hose. Watch for and try to eliminate such dangers. For in stance, a little sandpapering or waxing of a rough chair or table leg may save money. If you find a snag in a stock ing, pull it inside where it's less likely to catch and pull. Some times you can halt a tiny hole by mending it with yarn raveled from a worn stocking. So, Miss Lane suggests, keep a few ravel ings rolled on a spool in your mending drawer. 4 ' Fruits for drying are picked only after they are fully ripe. In fact, they must be ripe in order to dry properly. Full rip ening assures a high sugar con tent necessary in the dried fruit.

Approximately $38,000,000 was spent for the development of new and improved food and grocery products. Research in food product de velopment has shown rapid strides during the past 20 years, the association stated. In 1930 only about 500 people were en gaged in this type of research work. "The keen competition engen dered by the depression touched off a campaign to find new prod ucts, better methods of produc tion, and economy of operation," declared Paul S. Willis, presi dent of the association. "Now re search laboratories are consider ed a vital department of every grocery manufacturing company. The result is new. products, greater variety of products and a continuing stepping up of standards." Mr. Willis said that there is usually a lag of several years be tween the time a new product is developed and the time it is of fered to the homemaker. The reason is the long series of steps "necessary in the planning stages; the testing and re-testing under, a variety of conditions; the recipe development in company kitchens; testing in home kitch ens and, finally, consumer tests in selected towns or areas.

Her pretty head Is fuller of statistics than a calculating machine. Mrs. John K. Wood worth Is one of the 400 full-time workers of the TJ. S. Labor Department, bureau of labor statistics, who help compile the national cost-of-living monthly index. The index, as defined by the bureau, is the measuring stick for the rise and fall of retail prices. To the housewife, it's the latest news about where her food, clothing and shelter dol lars are going. To Lynn Wood worth, it also represents at least 10 miles of walking a day, in volving calls on as many as 10 stores department stores, butcher shops, chain stores, the small grocery, the local appli ance store and the beauty shop. "We check everything which affects the family's budget," Mrs. Woodworth explained. Continent Covered The bureau depends also on a staff of part-time workers who concentrate on gathering food prices. Most of them are hous wives, scattered across the na tion, who are earning extra money by working about one week out of each month. The workers sample prices in 56 cities, ranging from the na tion's largest to towns of 2,500 population, such as Sand Point, Idaho. Standard equipment for each researcher is a list of commodi ties, usually around 200, to be checked. In the food department alone, they include cereals, meat, dairy products, eggs, fruit and vegetables, fats and oils. . If the researcher's job also is to check other prices, she will look into the cost of Dad's over coat, Mom's hat, the price of shoe repair, rent, dry cleaning, towels, brooms, cosmetics, and even the admission to the local movie house. . Housewives Know "Housewives are the ideal price researchers," said Miss Helen F. Callahan, regional price economist for New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. "Lone vears of buvina for her own family make the home-mak er more price conscious than anybody I know," she explained. Price researchers can't 'afford to make mistakes.
