2 0 THE OWA HOMEMAl.ER N FARNESS to the Dvson of Home Economcs, n whose offcal publcaton ths artcle appears, let t be sad that full responsblty.for all statements contaned s assumed by the author, a mere man, and nothng s to be construed as havng the sancton of anyone connected wth the above named dvson. We realze that, were the dettan's measurng stck appled to the formula proposed for the wsh descrbed, many readjustments would be ndcated. f the nutrtve rato were determned or the number of calores calculated, doubtless great dscrepancy would be shown n the blendng of the ngredents. One thng can certanly be clamed, however, and that s that the mxture contans all the vtamns known to scence. Confessng, then, at the outset that a mullgan s not a scentfcally prepared concocton, we lay clam to one thng only: that t. s a dsh that a man can prepare, and that all men and most women who have tred t are wllng to admt s edble and, ndeed, eatable. The frst authentc record of mullgan preparaton s contaned n Macbeth and proves that as early as the Shakespearan age some were famlar wth t. The wtches were makng preparaton for a feed as below ndcated: Round about the cauldron go; n the posoned entrals throw. Toad that under the cold stone, Days and nghts has twenty-one Sweltered venom sleepng got, Bol thou frst n the charmed pot. Fllet of a fenny snake, n the cauldron bol and bake Adder's fork and blnd worm's Lzard's leg and owlet's wng. For a charm of powerful trouble Lke a hell broth bol and bubble. Double, double, tol and trouble, Fre burn, and cauldron bubble. Why ls a Mullgan? By "JOE BAGGS" Mullgan artsts chose nature's dnng room. We mght venture a guess that "Joe Baggs" and hs pall are college professors. stng The up-to-date mullgan s concocted on the same broad lnes as lad down by Shakespeare n the above. True, there are a number of ngredents enumerated that have no appeal to modern tastes, but the general ht and mss plan of selectng what s at hand to form an ntegral part of the mullgan s commendable. ARE YOUR corners turned up? Ah, there s no tme lke the present to do ths lttle but most vtal thng of lfe. Oh, ths lfe of ours s so taken up wth nnumerable good thngs that t s a crme to mss any of them. You'll mss a whole lot f you're not n trm wth lvng and healthy enough to be glad you're alve. You are absolutely out of trm and. n plannng a mullgan the number of ndvduals to be served s to be consdered. f all partcpants are men, the quantty prepared must be at least double that estmated, because no group of men ever sat down to a feast of ths knd and was satsfed f the usual rules of the caterer were followed n estmatng quanttes. The utensls to be used n the preparaton of a mullgan may be just as plan or just as elaborate as fancy dctates. t may be cooked n an alumnum freless cooker, n an open grante kettle, n a tn dshpan or a galvanzed pal. But prepared n any of these there s somethng lackng. The expert mullgan cook wll not guarantee hs product, nor wll he make a publc demonstraton of hs art except the vessel used be an oldfashoned ron pot. Ths vessel s at ts best only when suspended by a wre from a cross pole, supported at the ends by forked stcks set nversely n the ground. Beneath.ths swngng pot the fre must be lad properly. The wood to use must be good, dry, hard wood, such as oak. t must not be used too lberally. Only the quantty s to be used for replenshment that wll keep the mess smmerng gently. A mullgan s lke good wne. t requres tme to prepare t properly. Sx hours s not too long to cook t. All the Turnng the Corners Up By LAURA E. BUBLTZ harmony wth the world unless your mnd and body are workng together and tuned n the same key. How many of you have lstened to a great volnst and wshed that some day you mght do somethng half so wonderful and joy-gvng and nsprng? Or, maybe you have turned around whle on your way to classes to watch a person whose tme durng the cookng a fathful attendant must be watchmg to prevent the accdents that mght befall. To th!! mullgan artst ths vgl s a labor of love and he wll entrust the task to no one, but wll nsst on assumng t hmself. Much s added to the enjoyment of a mullgan f there be the proper settng. A day n early November wth ts nvgoratng ar and brght sunshne s the tme. A secluded ravne flanked by beautful trees s the place and should be both ktchen and dnng room. Gven the above there s nothng to compare wth a lberal helpng of well-prepared mullgan. As to just what makes up the mullgan t has been ntmated before that whatever s at hand s the materal to use.. The more ngredents, the better. Several varetes of meat, ncludng fowl, pork and beef, should be Vegetables of every obtanable used. knd may be ncorporated. Followng s a suggested lst of "fxns" that the author has tred on some one thousand or less ndvduals, among them deans, professors, assstants, preachers, jantors, and just folks, all of whom have apparently met the test wthout flnchng, and have come out none the worse for the encounter.

Cook the meats untl the bones remove easly, at least one to two hours. Add the vegetables and suffcent water so there wll be no scorchng and allow "her" to smmer for hours and hours. t s absolutely essental that the cook, assumng the same s a man, should smoke a ppe whle watchng the pot. Ths keeps hm awake.

3 THE OWA HOMEMA[ER The Sport of Amateur Housekeepng By ANNA JACOBSON, College Lbrary FEEL properly apologetc for venturng to ntroduce the Amateur Homemaker to her sster professonals; for, qute rghtly, the amateur s not hghly regarded by the fnshed artst. t s much as f the frst-reader class should call on Professor Noble to gve hm some ponters on lterature. Stll, there may be a place n some corner for the amateur also, when she scrupulously refrans from encroachng on the preserves of the professonal, and contents herself wth housekeepng as a sport. Now, a sport should not be tanted wth professonalsm. The game s the thng. t should have an element of chance, and not be taken too serously. The amateur s a free lance. She has no standard to mantan. She may admrngly and canddly admt that standardzaton s one of the front wheels of progress, and yet have her lttle flng at standardzed dets, color-schemes, and ktchens. Let the amateur stalk forth blthely to her mpressonstc, sketchy, rresponsble, and adventurous housekeepng. t s a good, sane, homely game, f you take t that way. Only, you must shut your ears to the everlastng Hallelujah chorus of effcency, or you are lost. Housekeepng, as a sport, s perhaps partcularly adapted to the mddle years, tho there s no tme lmt. The very young may feel a stronger call to the move, the dance, or mah-jong; others may prefer to manage clubs. or engage passonately n socal uplft, n ther lesure hours. Houseeepng s commended to the betwxt-and-between folks who have no strong predlctons or brant accomplshments to lend gayety to more colorful recreatons. admt canddly that housekeepng s a rather exactng sport, and takes large toll of one's precous spare tme. t wll not, for nstance, leave you so very much tme to mprove your mnd; but prvately thnk t s good for our mnds to be left alone once n a whle, to grow, nstead of havng facts stuffed nto them overtme. Anyway, don't want to mprove my mnd. want to do all sorts of slly peasant thngs wth my hands. want to go home and scrub floors. bake a bg luscous pe, and pant my ktchen chars blue, or maybe a prmrose yellow. n season want to stck some seeds n the ground (a garden belongs wth a house), and have them astonsh me by comng up bravely to shower joy on an undeservng gardener. f you combne gardenng (for fresh ar) and scrubbng (for exercse) you have a combnaton that beats golf for th.e sedentary worker, and you have somethng to show for t besdes.. Then, thnk how tred you get of the other woman's taste- or lack of t- n wallpaper and rugs, salads and desserts. Thnk of havng rooms (n the plural!) even to attc and cellar and ktchen. Nor s the sport necessarly expensve, as t ncdentally provdes for the everyday necesstes of food and shelter. Perod furnture, orental rugs, refectory tables, and breakfast alcoves, are not essental; tho a gateleg table and an arm char of ndvdualty- say,. wth permanently waved legs-gve a pleasant ar of gentlty to the humblest abode. But whatever you lack, be sure to have a ktchen. nsst on that ktchen. t s the vsble manfestaton of a sprtual need. know the socal mllenum s gong to do away wth the ktchen, and a few hundred expert cooks wll cater to the mllon consumers. All the more reason to enjoy the fragrant, spcy hours and come nto the ktchen whle you have a chance. Try one of "Bettna's salads," or "000 ways to please a husband" (even f you haven't any to please!). Ktchen lterature s full of delghts f one chooses judcously. There s a real thrll when you come across "Lvng on $500 a year"; and f you yearn for the pencl-fgure, take courage: you may "Eat and grow thn." There are other thrlfs, too; for cookng, lke aeroplanng, has ts lttle explosons and sudden falls. t s a mstake to regard the ktchen as devod of romance because t deals wth prmtve elemental wants.

Latham When frst saw Manhattan, Wth mles of human hves, Ter above ter, all crowded Wth swarmng human lves, worred for the mllons Of hungry to be fed, And wondered where on earth was grown The gran to make ther bread. But yesterday n rdng Across your fertle plans, saw a mllon farm lands All golden wth ther grans: So no longer worry; The hungry wll be fed: owa s God's handmad; She serves our daly bread. ENCORE And now we understand n part Whence cometh our bread, New York, remember owa When Grace s sad. Prof. A. J. Latham s an nstructor n nublc speakng- at Columba Unversty. She attended the late Vocatonal Educaton Conference at Ames, and delvered several splendd addresses at the conference. She was greatly nspred by the beauty of the campus and the sprt of the students at Ames, so much so that she has promsed to wrte us a poem about Ames. The above s one of h er mpressons of owa: t. s nterestng to note the condtons under whch Mss Latham wrote ths poem: whle on h er way to Ames, she was delayed three hours by a freght tran wreck and wrote ths poem whle watng. - Mary Smons. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll cook, to bake, to plow, to sow-all the plan, hard manual tasks-brng one to close contacts wth exstence at ts starkest and smplest. That, ndeed, s the nmost charm of housekeepng, as t s of farmng. Do you remember the sowng of the seed n Hamsun's "Growth of the Sol"? That s the epc of the farm, but there s a humble epc of the ktchen, too. Not that the ktchen s a "lterary" place-heaven forbd! But for all that, t has an honored place n lterature, from Theocrtus to Rupert Brooke. Everyone knows what an nmtable Roast Pg came out of Cnarles Lamb's ktchen, but Carlyle's and Emerson's amusng correspondence on cornmeal and Johnny-cake s less well known. Characterstcally, Carlyle ends wth a dtyhramb on the transatlantc Johnny-cake: "t s really a small contrbuton towards wo:-ld hstory, ths small act of yours and ours. * * * How beautful to thnk of lean, tough Yankee settlers, tough as gutta percha, wth most occult, msubduable fre n ther belles, steerng over the western mountans to annhlate the jungle, and brng bacon and corn out of t for th e posterty of Adam. The pgs n about a year eat up all the rattlesnakes for mles around, a most judcous functon on the part of the pgs. Behnd the pgs comes Jonathan, wth hs all-conquerng ploughshare-glory to hm, too! Oh, f we were not such a set of cantrdden blockheads there s no Athene or Herakles equal to ths fact:-whch wll fnd ts real 'Poets' some day or other!" You may not be one who can sng the song of the Johnny-cake and ts relatons; but when the all-too-short day of housekeepng comes to a close, you vew your handwork and declare 't good. Now comes the reward of your tol. n ths closet space of tme you savor lfe, happy, ndeed, f you have a beloved guest to share wth you the lovely, homely thngs n quet companonshp: "Flled may thy far mouth be wth honey, Thyrss, and flled wth honeycomb; and the sweet dred fg mayst thou eat of Aeglus, for thou vanqushest the ccada n song! Lo, here s thy cup: see, my frend, of how pleasant a savour! Thou wlt thnk t has been dpped n the wellsprng of hours."

They have much greater endurance. have seldom seen an Englsh hockey player 'wnded.' They may play for 30, 60, or 90 mnutes and never show sgns of fatgue. "Amercan grls as a whole do not enter sports so whole-heartedly, consequently they never attan the endurance whch comes only from long tranng. However, they are very apt, and only regret that cannot r eman longer to produce a champonshp team here at owa State College."

Laura Pratt Spends Summer Askng Questons By MARGATET WHSTLER WORKNG for an advertsng company -that s the unusual way that Laura Pratt, an owa State College graduate of last sprng, spent her summer vacaton. The work she dd was certanly somethng dfferent and especally nterestng. Mss Pratt worked wth a young woman who had taken her master's degree n Home Economcs from Columba Unversty, and ther man occupaton was smply runnng a Ford and askng questons.

"Our terrtory would nclude a representatve county n each of three states, Mssour, owa, and Mnnesota. Best of all, we were to have a Ford to drve.

THE POSSBLTY OF THE MPROBABLE "Possble but not probable," Queen sabella undoubtedly sad, when Chrstopher Columbus, kneelng before her royal majesty, unfolded hs maps and told of how the world was round lke an orange, and nda must le somewhere out to sea. But Chrstopher was earnestly convncng and perhaps-anyway, Queen sabella sold her jewels and the great contnent, Amerca, was dscovered. And ever snce then the world has been contnuously surprsed to see the "possble but not probable" deas of so-called dreamers become realtes. n 786 throngs of ncredble people lned the banks of the Delaware to scoff and jeer. But John Ftch receved ther awed admraton and profound congratulatons when they saw the frst steamboat move actually up the rver. Must a man hold everythng n hs own hand before he can move forward~ Must the way le clearly before one~ n fact, must everythng be probable~ Dscoverers n scentfc felds say no. That possbltes are present they feel or know, but how to dscover, to fnd, and prove them they are uncertan. Heren les the hard work, the defeats and dscouragements, n the seemngly futle efforts to brdge to the unknown. Whle the world looks on and mocks, "Utterly mprobable, the man s a nut, he's crazy," the brdge s made and Elwood Haynes makes seven mles an hour n hs '' Amerca's frst car''; the frst aeroplane n the hstory of the world makes ts ntal flght and safely carres ts nventor and bulder, Samuel Langley; or Madam Cure dscovers radum. Ah, yes, the mprobable was possble THE OWA HOMEMAKER 3 and the world smles kndly and complacently upon ts benefactor. That deals shall be real s the greatest gft gven to man. Vsons, dreams, genus are gfts of the choce few, and because we do not see, are we to scoff at the sght of others~ A slow lesson ths-when wll we learn to respect the mprobable, to hal t as the great potental of tomorrow, the unknown but tremendously valuable possblty of the future THE HOMEMAKER Who s the homemaker ~ f you were to put ths queston to a group of people, probably a majorty would respond very quckly, ''Why the woman who carres on the dutes of the home, of course.'' But s ths really the correct answer to the queston '? Whle the woman, undoubtedly, plays a most mportant role n mantanng the home, one must not lose sght of the fact that t takes two-the man and the woman-to make a successful home. Nether can t be sad, truthfully, that the contrbuton of the man s complete when he has brought home the famly ncome. Yet, thus far, colleges and unverstes have been content to tran men wth the one dea n mnd of ther earnng a lvelhood, whle courses whch would gve an apprecaton of ther prvleges and responsbltes n home lfe have been entrely overlooked.,classes n '' Th > Famly" n many nsttutons have been composed largely of women; the occasonal man has felt qute out of place, tho the content of such a course s just as mportant to the one as to the other. When we reach the 'pont where tranng s consdered essental for the husband as well as for the wfe thenand only then-wll we be workng toward the most complete soluton of famly problems. The term "homemaker" must mply two persons nstead of one. mportant as s wage-earnng for the man, t s not more mportant than the responsblty whch he shares wth hs wfe for the health, happness and character buldng of all famly members.

ZEPHYRETTES Would lke to see prnted n the Homemaker the recpe and method of makng zephyre:tes or saltnes. Zephyrettes or saltnes are commercal products and we cannot gve a recpe for them. POSTONS AT TABLE On whch sde of hs companon should an essort st? The escort should be seated at hs companon's left.

The course should be allowed to be served by all means, and partly eaten f t s not possble to partake of the entre course. RUST SPOTS ON CLOTHNG What causes rust spots on clothng when t s laundered? Rust spots are caused usually by a falure to remove all the soap n rnsng, and the use of a blueng whch contans chemcals whch form a rust spot wth the soap left n the fabrc. Most lqud bluengs do ths.

7 Dressng the Homemaker By MARGARET DX Every woman should be attractve n her home. Here she s an example for others and s judged for her true worth. Smple house dresses n attractve colors are very good. Dark, unattractve materal should be avoded. t s not dffcult to fnd patterns to ft the ndvdual. One who s large and rather heavy should avod desgns that tend to broaden and wear straght lnes. The length of the dress depends on the ndvdual as well. Anyone who s large cannot wear short dresses. They should at least reach the tops of the shoes. No house dress should be extremely long and full for t wll always be h the way. Neatness, convenence and attractveness are three essentals for a house dress. The popular apron s very good, but should be made to gve the effect of a dress. Evenness around the bottom of the skrt s most mportant. Nothng gves the appearance of shftlessness more quckly than a dress or apron that s uneven. Today there are many attractve aprons worn over the house dress. f one does not care to dress for dnner these can be worn as a protecton durng the mornng, and taken off durng the noon hour, leavng the dress fresh and clean. Many prefer to wear the smple house dresses wthout aprons and slp on another durng the dnner hour. Every housewfe should have a number of small aprons to use when needed. Unbleached musln trmmed n some brght color s attractve as well as nexpensve and durable. Gngham and percales are commonly used. A black sateen apron for cleanng saves launderng. Wth many t s the general opnon that any knd of a shoe s good enough for home wear. Ths s not true, for one cannot look trm and neat whle wearng shoes wth runover heels and n need of shoe polsh. f appearances mean nothng to one, health should. Runover heels cause one to walk and stand ncorrectly and often lead to the breakng down of the arch n the foot. Ths can lead to nothng but llness. Lght-colored shoes gve a better appearance wth lght house dresses than dark shoes. The whte canvas shoes are very nexpensve and dur-, able. They clean easly wth Bon am or whte shoe polsh. Carpet slppers should be avoded when workng around the house. THANKSGVNG DAYS "And they went out nto the feld, and gathered ther vneyards, and trode the grapes and had festval, and went nto the house of ther God, and dd eat and drnk."-judges. The gvng of thanks has been a custom of manknd. The Greeks celebrated the festval of Demeter. The Romans honored the Goddess Ceres and celebrated Cerela wth processons n the felds, musc, rustc sports and feastng. t s not strange then that the Plgrms n 82 put apart one day for Thanksgv- THE OWA HOMEMA[ER ng after -ther frst harvest and set an example for the future. Canada, n keepng wth early Saxon precedent, has long celebrated an autumnal feast day, wth the date subject to domnon proclamaton. Worshp, famly reunons and Thanksgvng dnners that prove the generosty of our felds portray modern Thanksgvng days. W e r epeat wth Whtter, "What mostens the lp and Brghtens the eye?

That s, one's mmedate parents are n a better poston probably to affect the envronment of a chld than are hs grandparents, great or otherwse. Well, after all, who s responsble for the chld? f t be the race, then am tempted to repeat the subheadng, "s Anyone Responsble for the Chld"? To me, someone s responsble for the chld. To me, the mmedate parents are largely responsble for the chld. "Lfe s a pecular mess." (Phlosopher qute unknown.) Someone has aptly compared lfe wth a person walkng along a ralroad and tryng to keep hs balance. t s dffcult work at tmes, for altho one becomes more expert wth practce, t calls for an unusual effort, an almost comc, were t not tragc, seres of contortons, to reman on that small pathway. And people wll fall off, ether to the one sde or to the other. And even wth much experence that comes wth years, one ocasonally wll fnd t dffcult to focus the attenton on the track, and falls come whch may be of varyng severty. t s probably true that no one ever succeeds n gong ahead wthout some close calls, or an occasonal slp or ms-step, or even a fall. How reman on the track, gong ahead, and yet dmnsh the number of falls"! Man acts both by reason and nstnct. A crss comes nto one's lfe. mmedate decson and acton are requred. There s practcally no tme for delberaton, and possbly delberaton wll help lttle because of the almost balanced and conflctng emotons. At that tme one who has been brought up wth a goodly measure of the so-called homely vrtues wll probably nstnctvely recall such vrtues and automatcally govern hs conduct acordngly. And from where are these homely vrtues recruted? From the home n large part, and thru the efforts of the mother and father n large part, and of the two, qute probably more from the mother than the father. But what on earth have homely vrtues to do wth chld responsblty? What re-. sponsbltes should one have n mnd n consderng the chld's welfare? Health"! Relgon? Morals?

10 8 Turnng the Corners Up (Contnued from page 0) health. Everyone can enjoy health f he only wll. When was a chld the people n my communty thought that grls who ndulged n any knd of physcal exercse were "tom boys." They were smply shocked at the dea of grls playng baseball and rdng horseback. All can say s, "God bless the tom boys. f there were only more of them!" What a large number of people go around wth the vapors o-f despondency so thck on them that the people whom they meet become clouded wth them: Watch people after they have watched a game of football, basketball or tenns and you wll fnd that there s no vapor there, but t s all a gleamng surface. Altho every Amercan woman and grl realzes that exercses make for health and the shnng personalty, many of them go around wth a weary, heart-burdened look. f they would stop to thnk that half of everybody's body s muscle and that our vtal organs, such as the heart and stomach, are muscle, maybe they would stand on ther heads or turn a few somersaults. Natural expresson of muscle s thru movement and f t s not used t weakens. Muscle must be constantly exercsed to be kept healthy. To have a shapely body one must have healthy muscles, as they form the outlne. Seven-tenths of the bran s used for exercses of the senses and for the control of the muscles. Therefore, nablty to make our body act the way we desre, or to gude our movements properly by sght, sound or touch, means a very poor development of a large part of our bran. f t were not for muscle we could not express a sngle feelng, thought, or even make a movement. Talkng, wrtng, expressons of the face as well as movements of the trunk, arms and legs all depend on the contracton of many muscles. Snce by muscle alone can we explan ourselves, t s absolutely essental that we tran our muscles to express what we want them to do n the way we desre. The road to good, healthy muscles s by exercse. Exercse takes the place of medcne. Drugs weaken the body n every respect. Exercse tones up and strengthens. Keepng ft should be on the schedule of every person. Athletcs s the sure means of changng exercses, ether ndoors or outdoors, from work nto play. The more thngs you do well, the more fun you'll have and the more nterestng person you'll be. Dd you ever know a grl who could play a toppng game of tenns, or ptch a baseball (straght) over the plate, or throw a basketball, handl.e a golf or hockey stck, or rde a horse wth ease, who wasn't popular? Athletcs develop a sprt of comradeshp. Out on the athletc feld people are just what they are. The formaltes are shaken off. You wll always fnd ths to be true; no matter how burdened down you are wth troubles your load has vanshed and you look at thngs n an entrely dfferent lght after you have played a brsk game of hockey or tenns.

Besdes ntervewng the farm women, we called on the grocer and the baker to fnd out what they thought about the trend of the bread bakng busness n the farm house. Records were kept of each call. For ths purpose we had four questonnares whch we flled out and maled n each evenng." Varous knds of questons were asked Mss Pratt, especally about the manner n whch her questons were answered. "Ddn't the women resent beng questoned?" "Not f we frst explaned to them that we were askng them these questons because they knew more about these problems than anyone else and that the reason we wanted ther opnon was to help the advertser to know how to meet ther needs more successfully." "Were people nce to you?" "Nearly every one receved us cordally, partcularly after we convnced them that we had nothng to sell. To be sure, there was one woman who told me ' have no tme to talk to the lkes of you. 'm busy washng and thnk you would be better off f you were home don' the same thng or some sch.' But she was only one and we found many who were eager to dscuss ther problems and who wanted suggestons. One woman shall remember always. She was a lonely Dansh woman, refned and well educated, who lved n the mdst of a Germanspeakng neghborhood. She spoke excellent Englsh and could hardly beleve that she had grown to young womanhood n Copenhagen. Altho ths was the second year that they had lved on ths farm, there was no one who had tred to be neghborly to her. She vsted wth us, nvted us to reman for supper and to call agan."
