It is a case of "together we stand, divided we fall." If a range is inefficient, as a result of years of service, it won't give the gas flame an opportunity to do its best work. New standards of living have brought many new appliances, which take the drudgery out of housework.

Outstanding of these is the modern gas range, which has been designed to present-day requirements. It is with the modern range that this story THIS group of dainty little folks from the Virgiline Simmons School of Dancing will entertain at the opening session of the Gas Range Cooking School at Prudden Auditorium, Wednesday evening. In the group are Ruth Fillingham, Betty Jane Slegel, Marylin Miller, Janet Olds, Elma Louise Rees and Kathryn Blanding. The light-footed miss at the right is charming little Miriam Olds who will present a delightful number known as the "Tambourine" dance, also a tap number. The Virgiline Simmons School of Dancmg has gained an enviable reputation for the successful method of teaching the little folks the secret of rythm and this season Miss Simmons reports a marked increase in the number of pupils enrolled in the various classes.

In any case, such a happy combination of virtues mitting all of the in-between time for other occupations or diversions. The temperature required, of course, varies with the cooking hours. 300 to 325 degrees are required for a two-hour meal, 275 degrees for a three-hour meal, and 250 degrees for four to five-hour meals. All meats should be seared first as in regular cooking. Cover all dishes after adding a small amount of boiling water.

Miss Paxton, who resides in St. Johns, has gained a wide reputation as a finished artist and has to her credit the winning of first place in the Southern Michigan Musical festival, held at Marshall, Mich, in August of last year. Those who are familiar with this event appreciate the strong competition, as the contest is open to professionals ao well as amateurs, with no age limit.

Miss Paxton has appeared on many musical programs in community affairs in this section and her services are eagerly sought because of her outstanding ability as a pianist. Miss Paxton is a graduate student of Katherine Seibert of St. Johns, Mich, who is known as one of the leading teachers of piano in this section, having studied at two German conservatories. time it is opened the oven is cooled. Thus more gas is consumed in order to.

Leaving a roast alone for many hours at a time would have been considered disastrous several years ago, not only because of the intensity of the mounting heat, but because it was customary to baste every so often. Now, however, according to the results of experiments carried on by the United States department of agriculture, most roasts are juicier and have better flavor if cooked at a low temperature in a deep open roaster, without basting. This is especially true for tender cuts.

In addition, the chromium lining is easy to clean and to keep clean. Enamel linings are used quite commonly for ovens now. They are certainly an improvement over the type of lining which became rusted from the moisture in the oven and was always difficult to keep clean. Enamel is an especially endurable coating. It can stand extremes of temperature unless subjected to the intense heat of direct flames.

The oven that is enamel lined is easy to keep clean with ordinary soap and water.

It is assumed, of course, that the oven is well insulated. Some ranges have only a small thickness of insulating material around the oven, which, although contributing to a cooler kitchen, is not as effective in this respect as where the oven is surrounded by a greater thickness of insulation. The range that is insulated with the idea of keeping the kitchen cool and conserving fuel has its oven well lined with mineral wool, asbestos, or some equally effective material.
