European
Spuds Studied
A. E. Mercker, acting chief of
the P. and M. A.'s pouto division,
ha Just completed a two-month
Inspection trip in Europe In looklm
over Die potato situation and for
eign market poMtblllticx. During
thu trip Mercker visited England.
Germany. Austria. Spain. Portugal,
Fiance, Belgium and The Nether
lands. He found a 3-pound weekly po
tato ration limit in the United
Kingdom, with 5's pounds allowed
for children, exiwetant mother,
worker In heavy labor and other
special worker. It Is Illegal there to
feed potatoes to livestock miles
thev are unfit for human food.
Mercker states that In Germany
good need will be used up in April
or May. further reducing the upply
available for planting. He states
that this will cause a reduction In
coal production In Mav a miners
will quit their work to hunt for
potatoes to feed their families.
Seed breeders and research work
ers In Germany oppose Importation
of seed potatoes from the United
States partly because German
bleeders obtain patents on the
varieties that they develop and
collect a royalty on each acre
planted. Blegest reason, however, is
the fact that the 1SM7 program mad
use of U. S. table stock widelv ad
vertised as seed potatoes with a
hieh percentage of disease resulfns
He recommends that onlr certified
seed should be sent to Europe for
planting stock.

Curtain Choice
Big Problem
Stoics now offer a variety of sheer
cotton, nylon, and rayon fabrics tor
the curtains that hang next to the
window pane. To make a wise choice
among them is the problem.
A study has been mane of various
rayon and cotton fabrics for glass
curtains. Nylon fabric was not In
cluded In this study. The result
shows that cottons in general have
greater durability and serviceability
than rayons of similar construction
Fabrics were treated for strength
when dry and also when wet. a in
laundering Cottons were stronger
than rayons when dry. and also
when wet rations gamed strength
while rayons became we.iker Tests
made after laundering showed that
cottons had lost less strength In
process than rayons.
The common household practice
Is to dry sheer tailored curtains on
stretchers, instead of ironing them
A 1 1 fabrics tested, except acetate
rayon, lose more strength in stretch
ing than m Ironing. The fabrics that
change most In color on exposure
to light were all cellulate acetate
rayons.
Nylon tends to break down some
what under long exposure to the
rays of the sun.

Lab Site Not
Chosen Yet
WASHINGTON. April 8 i.
Members of congress from Wash
ington state say they have no In
dication yet as to where the pro
posed supersonic laboratory may be
established.
The laboratory, which has been
under study for more than a year,
must be where there Is ample power
and water available. Because of
this they believe the Columbia river
region of Washington may be chosen
for the site.
The committee In charge of se
lecting the spot has refused to dis
close sites being examined. It is
reported that the TV A region of
the South and the Hoover dam re
gion as well as Washington state
have been canvassed.
A firm of St. Louts engineers made
an exhaustive survey. Members of
congress say that the committee's
report first will go to President Tru
man and not be made public until
he announces his action upon the
recommendations. Some members
of the committee say the report may
reach the president during April
LAZY DRINKERS
Ancient Romans drank liquids by
holding horn - shaped containers
above their heads while they re
clined on their stomachs. They
caught In their mouths the thin
stream of liquid which spurted from
the little end of the container.
Supply Of New Model Pots
And Pans Now In Stocks
Houseware departments in local
stores now have plenty of kitchen
utensils. They are of all shapes,
kinds and materiUs. and u may oe
a bit puzzling to choose the right
one. Which pan will do the Job? Is
the pan durable? Is it easy to keep
clean? How does it look?
Aluminum pans may be of two
kmds cast aluminum and stamped
aluminum. Cast aluminum is made
b pourm the hot metal into
molds. This gives a pan with a thick
bottom that conducts heat evenly.
The sides may be thinner than the
bottom, since thick metal is no ad
vantaee on the sides. Stamped alu
minum is usually all one thickness
and is lighter in weight.
Either type aluminum pan will be
darkened bv certain foods and
m-ater. A solution of 2 tablespoons
vinegar or cream of tartar in one
quart of water will remove this dis
coloration. Otherwise, washing in
mild soap and water and an occa
sional scrubbing with very fine steel
wool will keep your aluminum in
shape.
Stainless steel is m tough alloy
that will withstand scratching, rust
ing and corrosion. It will not dis
color and requires only a soap and
water washing, with mild scouring
now and then, to remove particles
that cannot be loosened by soaking.
Newer stainless steel utensils are
made to transfer heat quickly and
evenly and will hold It This is an
improvement over the earlier steel
' utensils, for they often healed with
a "hot spot "
' Glass that mill withstand- a direct
' flame is a new development. It will
! absorb and hold heat well, requiring
j a minimum amount of fuel. It heats
j evenly, and food may be served in
the same dishes in which tt s
j cooked, thus saving time and dish
j washine.
! However, glass does break and
; sudden changes in temperature
; must be avoided. Glassware is easy
to clean with soap and water, and
harsh scouring should be avoided.
Enamelware is a cood conductor
of heat and t stain-resistant. It
does need care to keep U un. tor
the glaze finish w:lt crack and chip
i if the utensil boils dry. or receives a
! sharp blow,
I Enamelware pans are light weight
! and easv to handle, and with proper
i care are very satisfactory.

It means there's morr food-rating mrnl

Wherever you buy meat you are entitled to money-savings that
result from proper trimming of each cut before it is weighed.
Insist that your butcher trim this way. If he refuses,
why not buy at a market where this kind of trimming is done?
YOU SEE Above how Safeway removes excess waste,
bone and fat from rib lamb chops before weighing
them. We prepare other cuts in similar fashion each
according to its special requirements. This waste-free
cutting is part of Safcway'S Guaranteed Meats plan.
We regularly trim our meats this way.
When you compare meal prices, remember that
Safe-way's prices always are on the TRIMMED cut...
free of excess bone, waste and fat . . . ready for cooking.
Tf ever you're not satisfied the meat you buy at
Safeway is trimmed the money-saving way wc say, just
show it to the manager of the Safeway store where yoa
bought it. If your Safeway rib lamb chops ( for example)
arc NOT trimmed as shown above you get DOUBf.IC
the number of rib lamb chops you buy without x
penny's extra cost (and without quibble or argument!)
Safeway buys nothing less than the top government
grades of beef (all beef sold at Safeway is U.S.
Government graded.) . . . nothing less than the top
grades of lamb, pork and veal.
Come prove for yourself - there's more good-eating
