The premiere i&i Greyhound’s new and radically erent radio show takes place to- jflliKht on the coast to coast NBC Network. The program presents a departure in air show styling— Rad one that should prove highly en tertaining to all types and ages of ilisieners. According to preview re- poi Is, the highlight of the half hour’s entertainment is a battle of wits staged inst a background of America’s scenic and historic wonders. The aciual studio contestants are teams picked from the studio audience—but •the whole transcontinental audience ,ye:s just as much fun out of this new radio game as do the actual par ticipants. Cash prizes will be given to the teams engaged in this new test- your-wits game and also to listen ers who send in the prize winning questions, clues and answers used on the program. The musio of “This Amazing America” will be in the hands of Roy Shields and his orchestra, with songs by the Ranch Boys. “This Amazing America’s” combination of quips and quizzes, knowledge and nonsense, music and fun, should be a welcome addition to the nation’s air fare. __ ■* i Residents of this community can get the program over sta tion WLW on Friday nights at 8:00 o’clock.

G jf* President of the National Federation of Business and Professional Wo men’s Clubs, Inc. One of the oddest occupations for women is that of Miss Mary Pfeiffer, of Hoboken, N. J.,-who for fifty years has been custodian of the 200 spiders which work each spring in a precision instrument plant. Their use is to provide the silk which is inserted in the dia phragms of surveying telescopes. Miss Pfeiffer gets boys in her neighborhood to gather in the spiders for which she pays ten cents each. They must be field spiders, not house spiders. She keeps them in a large mosquito netting cage. They drink con siderable water and die after a few days of captivity. ,' So she re leases them before the ten days and gets a new batch. * * * Helen Tsang, the first and only woman dress designer in Shang hai, China, has come to the United States to show her designs for the benefit of her countrywomen. She has designed clothes for Anna May Wong, Le Ya-Ching, outstanding Chinese woman flier, and other leading Chinese women. Miss Tsang is the daughter of Chang Ching Kiang, former Gov ernor of Chekiang Province and former Minister of Reconstruction. Her first venture into the business world was in advertising, painting posters for automobiles, face creams, etc. Then she opened her dress studio, the Tsang-i Studio, which means “brocaded rainbow.” * * * Daisy Deane Williamson, State Home Demonstration leader in New Hampshire has made a study of Paisley shawls and owns a large and interesting collection from Holland, Switzerland, Japan, China, Scotland and what was once known as Czecho-Slovakia. ♦ * * For her outstanding contribution to the science of nutrition, Dr. Mary Swartz Rose, professor of nutrition at Teachers College, New York, has been awarded the annual prize by the Associated Grocery Manufacturers of Ameri ca.

INSURANCE Since modem designing and in vention have been turned kitchen- ward there are fewer mishaps for the cook to mourn over than there were in the days before heat con trolled ovens and the like. Nevertheless, just as long as the telephone will ring when there’s a batch of cookies in the oven or the small boy of the family will come in with wet-shoes t and stockings at the very mihqtfe T the vegetables are almost ready for buttering, there are bound to be minor kitchen catastrophies to most of us. Perhaps the most common acci dent in every home is the boiling dry of sauce pans in which vege tables are cooking. When this happens turn the contents of the cooking pan immediately into a fresh sauce pan but don’t under any consideration scrape the burned pan. Usually the burned portion of the vegetable will stick to the burned pan and the part in the fresh pan will be free from ah taint. If necessary of course the burned part can be cut away but usually when things have gone this far even the unburned mate rial will have a scorched taste and must be sacrificed. If you are using an aluminum pan as soon as the vegetable has been transferred to the fresh pan put the burned one into a larger pan of cold water. I don’t mean the inside of the pan to be filled with water—just the outside of the pan to come in contact with water. This makes the burned pan much easier to wash. A pan made of enamel ware cannot be treated this way because the sud den change of temperature might ruin the enamel. Lumpy sauces, too-thick sauces, too-thin sauces and too-greasy sauces each have their own reme dy. The too-thick sauce is easily remedied by adding more liquid. This may mean more seasoning Fire Insurance And All Other Kinds of Insurance In cluding Life Insurance. HUGH C. BROWN, McCORMICK, S. C DR. HENRY J. GODIN Sight Specialist Eyes Examined Spectacles And Eye Glasses Professionally Fitted. 656 Broad Street Augusta. Ga COLDS For quick relief from the misery of colds, take 666 Cause Discomfort 666 Liquid - Tablets - Salve - Nose Drops because the extra liquid increases the amount of sauce. Too-thin sauces can be thicken ed by adding more flour, stirring to a smooth paste with cold water or milk. Add just a little water or milk at a time to the flour, stirring vigorously. This prevents the paste from lumping. Unless the paste is perfectly smooth the gravy will be lumpy. The too-greasy gravy can be taken care of by adding more flour and since this naturally thickens the sauce, more liquid and then more seasonings. Very often the lumpy sauce can be made smooth by beating with a dover beater. If this fails there’s always the strainer to fall back on. Don’t forget that the sauce will cool during straining and must be reheated before serving.
