Correct way to bake turkey demonstrated by Uncle Sam's expert cooks. Washington, D.C., Dec. 4. Note to housewives: your turkey- baking troubles will be over and the bird you serve for dinner this yuletide will be tender, juicy and flavorsome if you follow the method used by the expert cooks at the Bureau of Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Continual testing and experimenting with various recipes has taught Uncle Sam's cooks that many a prize bird has become a "ham" when improperly prepared. The best recipe - so far discovered by the Bureau of Economics - is demonstrated in the following set of pictures, made under the supervision of Miss Lucy Alexander, Chief Cooking Specialist. Miss Alexander, a graduate of Vassar and the University of Illinois, has been on her present job for eleven years. Mrs. Jessie Lamb, Assistant Cook, is stuffing the turkey under the watchful eye of Miss Lucy Alexander. The turkeys on the table will go into the ovens at regular intervals, and be tasted and judged by a group of experts who are determining which diet and feeding program will produce the best flavored meat.

Women's Press Club skit instructs future first ladies on how to get along. Washington, D.C., March 11. America's next first lady, whoever she may be, was last night instructed on how to be successful in a skit presented by the Women's National Press Club during an annual stunt party. The skit runs through different satiric phases of women in national politics and ends with the president being offered the job of president of Mars with the biggest WPA project yet--to fix up a wireless so that Mrs. Roosevelt can wire her column back to earth. Wives of practically every contendor for the presidental nomination were guests, and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke off-the-record to the members and guests. 1 - Mrs. Smith goes to Washington as a new senator, and learns her first lessons from the taxi driver who picks her up at Union Station.

The only school near the Cotton Mills, Winona, Miss. A private school taught by Miss. McIntosh, who for several years off and on has conducted it, charging each pupil only one dollar a month. With only ten pupils now the job is not very lucrative. She said it was discouraging, but that many seemed to appreciate it. "What we need is compulsory education and a free school out here, which we may get before long." Children range from six to ten years. One of the ten year old boys said, "Only two more years and I'll be in the mill." Little girls added, "Four years more and I'll be there." They all seemed to feel they would get into the mill as soon as possible.  Location: Winona, Mississippi.

Dependent (able-bodied) Parents. Fries, Virginia Family of Albert Senter. He said, "I don't work steady. Have a garden here." Eleven year old Mandy has learned to "spin" by "helping." She said, "They say I'm too little to work steady." Father added, "I guess she'll get in all right in a little while. They've been extra careful, lately, 'cause the inspector's been around, but it'll be easier now for her to get in." The three girls work and Mandy helps, with one eye on a steady job.

Workers in Miller & Vidor Lumber Co. Dangerous work. Charlie McBride said twelve years old. This twelve year old boy has a steady job. He takes the slabs out of the chute which has a moving endless chain to carry the wood up the chute. He passes the slabs on to the other boy who saws them on an inguarded [i.e., unguarded] circular saw. Charlie runs the saw himself whenever he gets the chance. He is exposed not only to the above dangers, but to the weather - no roof even. Has been here for some months. "Get four bits a day" (fifty cents). Works ten hours. This was the only mill that I found around Beaumont that employed boys likely because they are located some distance out of town.  Location: Beaumont, Texas.
