Perhaps one of the contributing reasons for this is that not all women have learned how to use equipment or know short-cut- s that will make the ironing easier. If you want to save time start ironing, preparing for it while doing the washing. If, for example, you have a flat wringer, then fold sheets, towels and other flat work, so there won't be millions of wrinkles when ironing time comes along. You also will find that shaking out the clothes before they are put on the line will save more time later than it takes to do this little task. In fact, on a nice windy day, the tiny wrinkles left in the clothes will all be blown out and many things, if neatly folded right oS the line, will not need ironing. Folding before wringing and shak-ing out turkish towels, washcloths and mats gives them what commer-cial laundries mean by "fluff dry," and this cannot be improved by Ironing. Youngster's clothing, when shak-en as described above, rarely will need ironing. Even though clothing Is to be ironed, it should be removed from lines and folded neatly so that ex-tra wrinkles are not made in it. Soma Clothes Need Only Little Pressing Some fabrics, which need only a light touch with the iron, should be set aside in separate piles. If yem finish washing, early, these can be lightly pressed immediately you re-move them from the line, thus mak-- Shorts are turned out on the double wttn a folding electric Iron.

When the Ironer has single kaee con-trol, both hands are left free to guide the Ironing through the machine. portions such as hems and cuffs should be turned inside so they do not dry. If yoa store the dampened gar-ments in a large plastic square rather than a sheet or towel, they will keep better until ' ready for ironing. It's also a good Idea to knead the clothes slightly as they are rolled or folded to distribute the moisture in them more evenly. Dampened clothes should be held for at least 30 minutes before iron-ing. Ia the cold weather they can be kept overnight, provided there is not too much dampness in the atmosphere. Ia warm weather, keeping them dampened for more than two or three hours may bring about mildewing. Ironing Temperatures Should Be Observed Most irons have a gauge telling you how hot the iron should be for ironing. Use this if you do not al-ready do so. On fabrics which you do not know about, start with a cool iron and see how it works. Work up gradually on the heat if cool and warm will not take out the wrin-kles. In general, the silks, rayons and synthetics require a warm to mod-erately hot Iron. Wool requires a moderate temperature unless you use a damp cloth over It, in which case you may use a hotter tempera-ture. Light and starched cottons use a hot iron while heavy linens and cottons use the highest temperature on the iron. It's a good idea to start the iron-ing with those fabrics which require low temperatures and work up to those which use the hotter tempera-tures. You'll save time skipping around, and also save on the fuel bill by using this more efficient method. These same tips should be ob-served when you are using an auto-matic electric ironer. Start with the things that need warm temperatures and work upwards. Make Easy Work Of Small Pieces Small pieces in the weekly laun-dry frequently assume large pro-portions when it comes to ironing Watch temperatures for ironing . . . ing the day when you do regular ironing much lighter. Seersuckers, corduroy play clothes, crinkle crepe clothing, jer-sey slips and underwear, woolen or cotton blankets, and curtains will need to be touched up lightly with the iron. When these are removed from the list of clothing to be ironed, you can easily see this does not leave too much of the hard work. Dampening Clothes Properly SaveB Time and Work Moisture makes fabrics easier to Iron because they are made more pliable. Linens and cottons, which are relatively brittle fibers, require more moisture than rayons. Many women have not yet learned the trick of using hot instead of Done by band or by machine. cold water for sprinkling. Hot wa--' ter, however, penetrates the fibers more easily and evenly, and this makes the fabric slide more evenly under the iron. Garments should be folded neat-ly wrinkles than neces-sary so no more are introduced in them. Heavy Be Smart! I i life time. Sheets, tablecloths and shirts usu-ally get first attention but the small-er items such as underwear, towels and napkins as well as handker-chiefs take up the most time al-though most of these are fairly simply ironed, especially if you have an automatic electric ironer. Napkins and towels are more easily ironed if you place several of them on the roller at one time. And if you can persuade daughter or son to sit alongside of you and fold these items for you as they come through after the first and second time, the task is speeded e8Run several handkerchiefs through at the same time also. When handkerchiefs are folded, you can run through as many as four to six when you have worn-en'- s or even more handkerchiefs. An electric ironer with a small diameter roll, open at each end. is easy to use because garments can readily over the roll for be slipped ironing.

Hot toast can be spread with any number of fillings kept on tap, and served with pickles, relishes, po-tato chips, carrot sticks, cole slaw, or munched with fresh fruit. If you want a more nourishing sandwich, dip it into a french toast mixture and fry in the skillet. Cream cheese mixed with pine-apple or orange marmalade, spread on toast, is good when broiled until bubbly. Canned or cooked tongue, sliced thin, can be spread with pickle relish and toasted. Salmon and tuna fish salad mix-tures make excellent toasted sand-wiches. Season the fish salad with horseradish, mayonnaise and salt.

WNU Features. By KATHLEEN NORRIS " ALL the families in your i books have one charac-teristic," writes Nadine Car-ter, a very modern young woman who does a weekly book-revie- column for a Pennsyl-vania newspaper. "Whatever your people are, rich or poor, Irish or American, they all love each oth-er and are sympathetic and coop-erative, having such fun doing dishes and being poor! Have you actually ever known a family like that? I haven't. We weren't fight-ers in our family, but we all had our separate interests and grudges and we all that is my sister and I, got out of home young, lived, downtown and married. My pa-rents were divorced when we were babies and my mother had a son by a second marriage; he's all right now, but he was a regular pest as a small boy. "I myself am divorced, with a little girl to raise," the letter goes on. "I'm not unhappy, and not happy, but my three-roo- home isn't that haven of delight that all your homes are, in your books. Most real homes aren't full of and loyalty and service; all of yours are. Now here is your latest book on my table and what can I say of it except that it paints an ideal that I never knew any home to reach, and don't think any homes do!" This and criticism would have hurt me once. But now it only makes me a little sad. For if this clever young woman really has grown to maturity without ever knowing what a real home is, she has been robbed of something that no later years can replace. High Ideals Predominate. In answer to her I can only say that there are thousands of homes hundreds of thousands of them in this fortunate country of ours, where children are raised to high ideals of service and duty, and where family love is developed as naturally as young minds and bodies are. There are countless good fathers and good mothers, who live only for home and children, who maintain high ideals of personal be-havior themselves, and live to see that fineness reflected in their chil-dren's lives. There are good mothers.' . . . There is no happiness in the whole world like the happiness in a good home. There is no service any man or woman can lo for their children, for their community, for their country tnd for their God, compared to ieveloping In their children the characters, the minds and souls that make good citizens. Love doesn't come naturally tt fhildren. It has to be cultivated: nothing about a fine home atmos phere is an accident. There must be someone guiding, smoothing helping. When father and mother are working on this plan, the ideal home results. Children Need Guidance. America's story is full of thf goodness of book loving, family loving. Godfearing fathers, and oi mothers who have brought actual genius to the guidance of children: guidance disguised under happy ev-eryday living, in the garden, the kitchen, the school, the nursery. Family love and home happiness are not merely pleasanter than quarrels and coldness and separa-tion, they are absolutely essentia to the safety of a nation. Men and women who can look back to a d childhood are valu-able men and women. Nothing that your sacrificing or your wealth or your ingenuity can contrive tor your children is worth anything at all. unless behind it is the atmosphere that develops mutual dependence and mutual help. Most of this atmosphere is ere ated by mother. If you happen to be Mother, it might console you, in these difficult, extravagant days to realize that you can give your chil-dren a priceless heritage at nc money cost at all. The heritage oi a harmonious and happy home. Snoring Is Legal Even at Expense of Your Neighbor LOS ANGELES. It's perfectlj legal to snore, even if it keeps the neighbors awake, according to the ruling of Byrun Gentry, deputy cit prosecutor. The weighty problem was handed him by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson E Carr, who complained that a neigh bor in their apartment snored sc loudly that it constituted a disturb ance of peace. Gentry ruled thai the snoring was not malicious. |
