'J m Feeding the Family Cold Frfcd Cfcickm, Baked Hub With Maks-Ii-Yourself Salads How about jnother and the girls having a holiday too? No cooking, no table 3rrangements, minimum of dish washing with disposable paper plates, dishes, cups, napkins. Just takes plan ning . . . some .cooking ahead; then let family and friends hap pily fend for themselves. If there are many people com ing and going, there's nothing so satisfying as stacks of cold fried chicken or wafer-thin slices of baked ham (for goading a sand wich) or generous slices of cold rdast turkey. If it's a family re union or a really big thing, both ham and turkey offer the ulti mate ia, help-yourself eating . . . indoors or outdoors. Maka-It-Yourself Salads Salad is of utmost importance to western hostesses who, like restaurants, now usually offer a choice of salad dressings. Some guests go for garlic. Others favor Flue cheese dressing. Some pre fer 'just good tart old-fashioned french dressing and others want it zipped up with exotic herbs. To meet all these demands, salad dressing makers offer mixesjn popular "flavors" so that f&e homemaker only adds her favorite, vinegar, salad oil and some water or a reasonable facsimile to contents of an enve lope with all the seasonings thereir-and gives the combina tion a good shaking. As though this weren't enough, here are ways of giving your own special touch to salads. Variations on Salad Dressing Mixes are Many The new salad dressing mixes require the addition of vinegar, salad oil and water. Here's where the amazing variety comes irti) Vinegar variations may be red or white wine vinegar, cider vinegar;)nalt or pear vinegar. Spiced or'herb vinegars are not recommended because the mix has plenty of seasonings already. Lemortuice is liked by many, in place of vinegar. Salad oil variations may be cottonseed oil, corn oil, peanut oil, olive oil or soy bean oil. Or a combination of them. Liquid variations may be white j wine, red wine, vermouth, chili 'sauce, catsup, tomato juice, spur cream, mayonnaise, fruit juices, canned tomato soup or vegetable Juices. Or use one-fourth cup of any of the foregoing in addi tion to water. Picture-Pretly Salad In oyr "every man for him self" pfeture we used lettuce, en dive and watercress arranged in a bed on our biggest platter. Then arranged scored, unpeeled cu cumbers, onion rings, quartered tomatoes, -pepper rings, radishes. Of course you can use any other raw or cooked and marinated vegetables that please your fancy. Offer salad vegetables assort ment along with platter of fried y ZOLA VINCENT Fm4 Ufa Chicken, ham, turkey, cold cuts or whatever you've planned. For a salad luncheon or sup per, arrange the crisp vegetables then put julienne slices (that means cut in narrow strips) of cold meat or poultry and swiss cheese. West coasters think that chopped walnuts or almonds add a little fillip. Just sprinkle them over. , Offer choice'of salad dressings made easy with salad dressing mixes. Sour ,Cxm Potato Salad Using those home-grown, plen tiful long white potatoes that cook so beautifully, treat the family and other picnickers to this deluxe salad. For each four generous servings: Blend one-fourth cup thick sour cream and one-fourth cup mayonnaise. Add to three cups diced, cooked potatoes and mix well. Fold in one teaspoon chopped chives (or more) and three slices of diced, fried bacon. Reason with salt and pepper. serve on greens. Helpful Reminders for "Bird" Barbecuers Even though you've been bar-becue-ing all summer, you may come upon another good idea here. Not only frying-boiling chick ens but young turkeys, ducklings and small geese make very good barbecue-ing too. Both duckling and goose are almost self-basting, should be further from the coals than chicken or turkey (because of fat), have affinity for spicy sauce. Keep the barbecue mear sim ple; the bird or meat is the big attraction. When handling "birds" use long handled forks and. spoons for handling and turning. Piero ing any meat with a fork lets the juice dram away. Keep fire or coals very low to the birds won't scorch or cook too quickly. Keep fuel down to about 2 inches deep. Briquets not more than one layer deep Don't worry if heat seems too low at first. Glowing coals are very hot. Place sauce near fire to keep both warm and convenient. Some of the lighter sauces can be sprayed from a hand sprayer directly onto the birds or meat. A sprayer will not handle the heavier sauces however. Swab made fronT" new whitewash brushes or other types and fitted with handles are ideal. Spoons waste too much sauce; may result in burned hands. Eternal 'vigilance "on the part of some one is essential. Poultry halves or pieces need turning and basting every 5 to 10 min utes. Picnic Eggs These are pretty wonderful; maybe a little different. Hard cook six eggs, peel and halve; take out yolks and mash thor oughly. Add two tablespons chopped almonds or other nuts, one tablespoon finely chopped LABORLESS WEEK, END Make it as nearly a laborless holiday week end as possible. If you're feeding many, there's nothing easier nor more satisying than cold baked ham or cold turkey fixed ahead and simply set out on buffet along with salad mak ings including choice of quick mix salad dressing. green pepper, one tablespoon finely chopped pimiento, dash of tabasco, three tablespoons may onnaise, salt and pepper. Mix well; fill egg halves with mix ture. Decorate top, if you like, with green pepper, pimiento, chopped parsley, stuffed olive slice. Lazy Susan Dessert ' Every one helps himself -to fruit and cheese. Place a gener ous heap of cottage cheese, or of fer soft cheese assortment in plate center. Circle with rings of chilled fresh fruits and berries along with melon fingers for easy handling. Pass dressing of sour cream thinned with any fruit juice.' If you offer soft cheese, you'll need crisp rye wafers, melba rounds or wheat crackers. Few Choice Dips o For Family Snacking This basic dip with variations is a handy thing to have around for pre-dinner or party appe tisers any time. And for family Remember to use favorite snacking over the week end. herbs and seasoning salts with a light touch. Start with a basic dip.

Rising Mortality Rafe Among Men Not Yet Satisfactorily Explained By DELOS SMITH Vailed Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Scientists and all other men have been called upon to solve a riddle which will strike you as both personal and urgent if you are masculine of sex. It is: "What is killing off the males?" The solution is sought by the Abbott Laboratories, which feels untimely deaths among males are now so frequent that "nature's obvious aim at keeping the sexes in numerical balance may yet be endangered." G "If you are a male between the ages of 15 and 74, your day by day chances of dying are at least 50 per cent greater than those of your female counterpart in the same age bracket," it told the nation's physicians. "Yet," ha added, "in 1920, you would have been much more nearly on even terms with her." The statisticians have been busily seeking out the reasons for what has been fading the male, "but a really convincing answer has yet to be found." Woman's Death Rata Cut Now, take diseases in which worry, overwork, and emotional tensions seem to have a part those of the cardio-vascular. sys tems and ulcers. Among women, the death rate from these causes has decftned sharply when com pared to the period between 1921 and 1928. But for men, has in creased sharply. The big ques tion is, why? "Women may be biologically more resistant to diseases 5 and death than men," the laboratories said without elaborating on why they apparently have "become more so in recent generations if that is the answer.- "Whether men contract infec tious and communicable diseases more easily and frequently, or are simply less resistant to them, has not yet been established. Aggressive Males "Their greatest venereal dis ease rate, alcohol addiction, and tendency to homicide and acci dents may be explained by their greater aggressiveness and lack of caution. 'Getting around' more than women, they also may ex pose themselves more to such diseases as tuberculosis, polio myelitis, pneumonia, and influ enza. " "One important difference be tween the sexes is in their -response to strain and stress of to day's high-speed, high-pressure life. Women may perhaps ease or avoid the consequences of ten sion worry, frustration and de spair through tears or occasional hysterics. Menp on the other hand, "seem more likely to in ternalize these stresses at the price of coronary disease, hyper tension, or ulcerai" Women Take; More Car . Also women take better care of themselves. Whats more, public health officials pay more atten tion to them. "They are known to 'nurse' mild illnesses in a pre cautionary, preventive w a y," which men don't do. Many more doctors specialize in the diseases of women than of men. Nevertheless, none of these rea sons or all of them seem expla nation enough. "Something ought to and could be done for the male, especially the middleaged and older male by himself, the medical profession ,and public health agencies," the laborato ries said. "Concentrated study and research should seek causes behind men's rising mortality." Hydrogen Bomb Blast Reveals New Elements Lemont, 111. (U.R) A group of Atomic Energy commission scientists revealed Tuesday night that the new elementsQ99 and 100 were discovered m 1952 as a result of the hydrogen bomb explosion in the Pacific ocean.
