r. Hungerford uses these mosquitoes to make experiments for his medical entomology class. The female Aedes egypti is the only carcass of yellow fever and dengue fev- which is similar to yellow fever, female mosquitoes are the herders, because they are the only dod suckers. Once a mosquito is arier, within a week or 10 days pending on the temperature, she gives the fever to every host bites as long as she lives. Mariano Morliva

e female anopheles mosquito which the students can not dissect a study as malaria is easily transarrable. The Aedes egypti is inited with bird malaria, which humans can't get, and the students canady malaria in this way with no arm to themselves.

Navy Conserves; Housewife Wastes
San Diego, Cal.-(UP)-It would cost the average housewife $16.17 a week to feed a family of five on the same menu served bluejackets at the United States naval air station here, a survey showed recently.
The navy could do it for $24.50. It spends less than 70 cents a man a day.
Lt. Cmdr, B. A. Fairchild, commissary officer at the air station, said the difference is that most housewives are unsystematic and wasteful.
"Most of them throw away entirely too much food," he said. "How can they expect to operate an economical kitchen when they spend a large part of their time throwing good food in the garbage?
"We have worked the preparation of food down to a system. Absolutely nothing goes to waste. If we serve corn at noon, what is left is either served as an extra dish at night or goes into the soup the next day. We even save large beef bones to be used to make soup stock."

Night Classes Start At Fowler Shops
Night classes in welding and machine tools have been started by University Extension. The classes meet twice a week in Fowler shops.
The classes already have maximum enrollment. Many of the farmers in the Lawrence area are enrolled.
Paul G. Hausman, associate professor of engineering shop practice, said that the large enrollment of farmers is caused by the rural electrification program. Farmers now want to learn more about machinery, as electricity enables them to make many of their own repairs on the farm, he explained.
Have you ever eaten cauliflower greens? If not, you soon will.
Housewives who have been throwing the greens away will soon include them in their daily menus. for cauliflower greens are now considered highly nutritious.
New Dish Is Added To Union Menu
Miss Ann Hadden, Union cafeteria dietitian, introduced cauliflower greens to University students at the Union recently. She says that they are now compared to lettuce, green cabbage, and other green leafy vegetables high in vitamin content. Their recognition can be attributed to the recent nutrition consciousness which has swept the country.
Miss Hadden recommends preparing them like creamed celery because cream sauce blends well with their flavor.
The more tender leaves from around the white head of the plant are picked and steamed to protect their vitamin content. After steaming from 12 to 15 minutes the greens are ready for the white cream sauce. Those who are not able to pre-
