French War Brides to Teach Yanks Use of Cheap Meats Mrs. Downing, Brought to Omaha by Arrangement With Bee, Tells Women's Club Meet How to Make Proper Use of Lower Graded Meat Cuts. French war brides brought home by American doughboys will teach the American housewives many se crets of cookery, according to Mrs. Helen Harrington Downing, food expert of Armour & Co., who ad dressed the Second district meeting of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs yesterday afternoon by arrangement with The Bee. "The French housewife knows how to be thrifty. She can cook the inexpensive parts of beef to taste just as good as the higher-priced cuts." Use Cheap Meats, Urged. The use of heart, lungs, liver and brains and the other extra meat portions, which are cheaper and plentiful, on account of the ship ment for army consumption over seas of the other cuts of meat, is ad vocated by Mrs. Downing. She dis tributed recipes telling how to cook them. The need for continued foor con servation is a point emphasized by the food expert. "America still has the task of feeding starving Europe, and food-saving is more necessary than ever before," she said. Dollar Stretching Taught. How to cut the cost of living by using business methods in the home, how a dollar can be stretched to the limit without stinting the menus and making men yearn for the extrava gances of yester-year and the easy use of food substitutes is included in knowledge imparted by Mrs. Downing. "Always insist on government-inspected meat," Mrs. Downing urged the Club women. "The government spends more than $6,000,000 annual ly in meat inspection for your pro tection. Take advantage of it." The Second district meeting, at tended by over 200 club women, opened its annual session in Grace Methodist church yesterday morning Mrs. E. P. Boyer of Papillion, vice president, presided in the absence of Mrs. William Berry, chairman, who is ill. NEW REPORT IS MADE ON FOREIGN LANGUAGE BILL Revised Draft Tends to Let Down Bars on Parochial Schools for Religious Instruction. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, April 3. The majority of the conference committee in charge of the measure reversed it self Thursday morning, on the re port on S. F. 24, the Siman foreign language bill, and a new report was framed which five of the six con ferees signed. The revised draft cuts out of the bill the word "secular," which was put in by four members of the joint committee Wednesday and which had the effect of letting down the bars for parochial schools to give catechism and other religious in struction in a foreign tongue. It changes the wording slightly as to other provisions, making it clear that above the eighth grade foreign languages may be taught as lan guages, but not used as a medium of instruction for other subjects. Senators Reed, Cordeal and Si man and Representatives Gerhart and Byrum ratified the bill in this form by signing the majority report. Mr. Reynolds alone held out for a further revision. He prepared a minority report proposing an addi tion to the majority draft, so that church schools held on Saturdays or after the regular school hours on other days, would not be forbidden to teach in foreign tongues. It was believed that both branches would adopt the majority report. Appointed Fire Chief. Beatrice, Neb., April 3.
