SHOPPER'S
CORNER
By DOROTHY BARCLAY
SPRING RENEWAL
G OOD NEWS today — furniture
manufacturers see no immi
nent shortages in the major cate
gories this year—barring, of course,
an all out emergency. An4 that is
good news, if you act on it before
the supply begins
to dwindle and the
prices rise! And
when better than
springtime to get
down to that favor
ite furniture store,
to buy the new and
renew the old?
Be quick, buf not hasty, in this
spring shopping spree! Plan ahead
what you need. Decide what furni
ture you really must replace with
something new, and what old favor
ites you can refurbish. They tell us
that upholstered furniture is as
plentiful as it was a year ago, and
the supply of tables, non-metal
shelves and cabinets are ample, at
least for the next few months.
When you have decided what new
furniture is an absolute must, re
member that the new has to live
with the beloved hand-me-down
heirlooms. Don’t try to wed a
severely modern coffee-table with
a formally ornate Regency daven
port. It wouldn’t be a happy or a
comfortable marriage! Rather com
bine the period stuff of the sarpe
general style. For instance, William
and Mary, Queen Anne and Chip
pendale harmonize in weight and
detail, as do Sheraton, Duncan
Phyfe and Hepplewhite. And the
more simple the traditional furni
ture, the better it will blend with
the severity of the modern.
KID STUFF
Good news here, too, in the nur
sery! Juvenile furniture shows no
prospect of decline in the near fu
ture, and there are new protective
sprays that are scratch and chip-
proof, that your Store can show you.
Youth beds, with semi-rails are
there, too, but you’d be wise just to
buy the rails that fit any standard
bed, for those steadily-growing
youngsters. As to the other fumi-
ttlre, ask your clerk to show you the
“Dude Ranch’’ sets for those young
Hopalongs and Roy Rogerses in
your family. Made in genuine leath
er. the chests, dusks and night-
stands, will survive the rigors of
growing-up boys for years!
If you’re going so far as to in
vest in a new rug, consider the
coming thing—rayon! Some of these
rugs are 100% rayon, some are
70% rayon blended with wool. But
wool, your salesman will tell you,
is already becoming a war casualty,
and steadily dwindling in supply
and rising in price. The new rayons
are at least 20 per cent cheaper
than wool, show soil much less
quickly, have no appeal for moths,
and are much cheaper to have
cleaned.
As to fabrics for slipcovers for
those dear old chairs and daven
ports, and for drapes, your store
has many to choose from, if you
get there in time. Many colors and
many patterns are available right
now, from the large geometries, so
popular with the young modems, to
the good old standbys, the tradi
tional floral prints and the pro
vincial English and New England
designs.
The fabric industry, which has
suffered slightly from inflation, ex
pects no immediate curtailment of
production, and has pretty well held
its prices in line. You certainly
•can’t complain about inflated prices
when you can still get 48-inch
drapery material at from $1.95 to
$3.95 a yard!
Nylon, orlon and other novelty
yams have not become generally
popular for draperies. They still re
main in the luxury class, because of
higher cost of time and labor. An
interesting side-light on nylon—be
cause of its comparative novelty
and consequent newfangled demand.
Silk, the former queen in clothes
fabrics, is more plentiful and
much cheaper!
Marine Staff Sergeant
Solves Letter Problem
PEORIA. 111. — Marine staff
sergeant, William Parker, found a
way to solve his letter writing prob
lem.
“Write my mother. That’s an
order!’’ he barked at 73 recruits
that he instructs at the San Diego
training base.
Parker’s mother, Mrs. Harry
Gronquist of Peoria, got 73 letters.
Recently she scolded Parker for
not writing her more often.
MIRROR

MIND
^ ^ ^ Pampered Son
v Resents Favoi
By Lawrence Gould
May sons resent being waited on?
Answer: Yes, and often justifi
ably. A mother who is at heart un
willing to see her son become in
dependent of her may unconsciously
try to prolong his childish helpless
ness by “waiting on him hand and
foot.” She believes it is unselfish
love that makes her do this and
feels bitterly aggrieved if the boy
lets her know that it annoys him.
But he is not really ungrateful—he
is trying to defend himself against
an urge (which has its echo in his
own heart) that seeks to retard or to
deprive him of his manhood. A man
who enjoys such ministrations too
much is a poor risk as a husband.
Is prejudice waning?
Answer: It would seem so, reports
Rose Zeligs in the Journal of Ge
netic Psychology, on the basis of
the difference between answers giv
en to questionnaires by twelve-year-
old school children in 1943-4 and
those given in 1931. Explaining their
attitudes towards members of other
groups, both sets of children, cited
“customs, costipnes, cleanliness,
language, religion, character quali
ties and civilization,” but “the re
cent trends are away from prej
udice because of racial and phys
ical differences.” The change has
been slow but is greater than is
generally realized.
Is “style” achieved deliberately?
Answer: Usually not in creative
work like writing, painting or com
posing music. In a recent radio in
terview, a composer known for his
“distinctive style” said that he
never thought of anything when
writing music except how best to
express the feeling he was trying to
coqvey, and the same is true in
general of painters and of writers
in words. Thinking about style tends
to make you feel self-conscious and
seem insincere and artificial. Once
you have learned the technique of
your medium, you will be most
original when you try least to be so.

KEEPING HEALTHY (
Cortisone Can Relieve All Arthritics
By Dr. James W. Barton
W HEN A DISEASE existed in ani
mals before man appeared on
earth, has existed in many ever
since, and after all these years may
finally disappear, we can readily
see why physicians, and patients
suffering with arthritis, are watch
ing the almost daily reports on the’
effectiveness of ACTH and corti
sone."" •
In the Chicago number of Medi
cal Clinics of North America, Dr.
Edward F. Rosenberg, chief of
arthritis clinic, reports the results
obtained by the rheumatoid arthritis
group of Michael Reese hospital,
Chicago. This group of outstanding
research workers and clinicians out
line the various types of arthritis
treated, the length of time suffered
by each patient, the reaction of
these new wonder drugs and the re
sults obtained by their use.
While the report is too long for a
single article, the general comment
gives a most encouraging picture.
“Administration of cortisone to
patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(the commonest form of arthritis)
invariably resulted in relief of the
arthritis.” This means that just as
surely as insulin controls diabetes,
and liver and liver extract control
pernicious anemia, this drug gives
relief from arthritis. Further, the
immediate outcome of the treat
ment shows how long and how much
the patient has suffered with arthri
tis before he began treatment with
cortisone.
Patients whose symptoms have
been present for less than six
months have shown immediate and
remarkable benefits from cortisone.
“In such cases, improvement gen
erally has been recognizable within
two or three days after the start
of the treatment.” Improvement in
these cases is shown by the. im
provement in appearance of the
arthritic condition—less swelling,
improved x-ray reports—and by the
feelings of the patient—less stiffness
in the joints and more strength in
the muscles.
In more advanced cases, the ef
fect of the cortisone treatment de
pended upon the amount of destruc
tion present in joints and adjoining
tissues at time treatment began.

Out of Ruins
Lesson for June 3, 1951
Dr. Foreman
A GERMAN who came through
World War II recently said:
“At present there is no country in
the world where a man can live
more like a man than in Germany
This is because yes
terday has been re
duced to ruins and
rubbish . . . We can
thank God that he
has blessed us with
ruins more than he
has others.”
This may sound
shocking, but it
sounds not unlike
the Bible. There
were Jews in an
cient times who lived to thank God
for the ruins of Jerusalem.
• • »
At Last They Believed
I F you had asked a resident of that
city, at the hour when the ene
my army was burning his beloved
home, if God’s hand was in the
catastrophe, most likely he would
have said, “No, not by any means.
This is Nebuchadnezzar’s work, or
the devil’s—certainly not God’s.”
Consider what good came out
of it. For one thing. It tanght
the Jews that God is really a
God of Justice, after all. The na
tion that sinneth, it shall die;
the nation that takes the sword
shall perish-"by the sword. The
prophets had been trying to'tell
them that for many a long year;
but no attention had been paid.
The sins the prophets had said
God would surely punish, went on
and on, and there seemed to bo no
reckoning and no punishment. The
little nation was deluded into think
ing it could get by with anything
for as long as they pleased. But
after the crash of 586 B.C., they all
knew the prophets had been telling
the truth.
• • •
Yesterday Is Dead
r )R another thing, the exile cured
the Tews, for a long time, of
trying to be a political nation like
other nations. God had called them
to another kind of existence. So long
as they had l>een an independent
nation they had kept fooling around
with politics, armies, international
intrigue. After all that had been
swept into Nebuchadnezzar’s dust
bin, the people’s hearts turned more
and more to God and his laws.
Another way in which that
city-wide ruin was a blessing
was that It “killed yesterday.”
Before the fatal year 586, the
Hebrew kings and people had \
more or less looked backward.
Every king wanted to be a great
conqueror like David, a wealthy
potentate like Solomon. But they
never would look the cold fact
In the face, that those days were
gone forever.
But when the exiles came back to
rebuild the ruins, the younger ones
at least looked forward. Yesterday
was dead; they built now for to
morrow.
• • e
Blessed* With Ruins
R UINS can be a blessing in more
ways than one. So Chicago and
Stn Francisco and Baltimore were
better cities after their big fires;
Louisville improved after its great
flood; the “New South” of today is
blessed as the Old South, for all its
glamor, could not have been.
Sometimes a man who has
been depending on anything but
God for hope and happiness—
on his money, on his friends, on
his health, on his r isition—
finds these things swept out
from under him, and then at
last comes back to God.
After a man’s childhood faith has
been shattered by manhood’s dis-
illusionments, it has often come to
pass that out of the ruins of the
childish beliefs he rears a tower of
faith far stronger than anything he
has lost.
• • •
Let’s Not Make Ruins
T HIS does not mean, of course,
that we ought ever to go out and
deliberately make ruins. The best
way to improve other nations is not
to drop bombs on them; the best
way to be improved ourselves is not
to act in such ways as to tempt oth
er nations to drop bombs on us.
The best way to build a better
faith is not to scrap all the faith
we have. The best way to find
God is not to go out and And
him in a fox-hole. The blessings
of ruins are not the best God
has; but sometimes they are
what it takes to bring a man to
his senses.
And if the crash does come, and
the towers fall, and life lies in rub
ble around us, we must remember
what the Hebrews learned: thal
even in the ruins we may, bettei
than ever, come to know the living
God.

Use Easy-Mix Recipe for Perfect Pastry
(Set Recipes Below)
Perfect Pastries
YOU MAY HAVE to be a magici
an to pull rabbits out of a hat, but
amateurs and experienced cooks
can make perfect pastry If they
have the right directions!
There was a time when you had
to have that certain touch to make
light, fluffy, tender, melt-in-your-
moufh pie crust, but all the guess
work has been
taken out of pie
making with re-
cent develop
ments. The only
r e quirements
needed are exact
m e a s urements
and the ability
to r e a d direc
tions. All fuss,
muss and extra
utensils are eliminated.
New type pastry is made with
liquid shortening and an ordinary
kitchen fork. The pastry is rolled
between two piepes of waxed paper,
thus eliminating the need for extra
flour which in the past has often
toughened perfectly good pastry.
Easy-Mix Pastry
(Makes 2 8 or 9-inch crusts)
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
H cup salad oil
34 cup pins I tablespoon ice
water
Sift together flour and salt. Com
bine in a measuring cup, the salad
oil and ice water. Beat with a fork
until thick and creamy. To avoid
separation, immediately pout (all
at Mice) over entire surface of the
flour mixture. Toss and mix with
fork. The dough will be moist. Form
into a ball with the fork.
Divide dough in half. Before roll
ing, shape each half with the hands
into a flat round, making top and
edges smooth. Roll dough between
two squares of waxed paper. Re
move top sheet, invert dough over
pan; peel off paper. Fit pastry into
pan. Roll out top crust. Cut gashes
for escape of steam. Fill pastry-
lined pan with desired filling. Place
top crust over filling, and trim Vi-
inch beyond the rim of the pan.
Seal edge by folding top under bot
tom crust Piute edge. Bake at
