“NEEDS TACT”
ADVENTURES OF SCIENTIST. IN HIS WIFE'S KITCHEN. Mr Vernon Charley, the scientist who first developed the vitamin C syrups from black currants and rosehips, told in a 8.8. C. talk of some of the daring research work he had done at home. Although he had met, he said, with a certain amount of scepticism from his wife, he had managed to snoop round her kitchen with little glass beakers into which he popped quantities of her uncooked and cooked vegetables. Then he rushed to his laboratory to see how much she had wasted. It was worth, in his opinion, a few minutes of rather tense atmosphere during his intrusion among the pots and pans, because he hopes to be able to make each subsequent dinner his wife cooks yield thirty per cent more vitamin C. But, he warns, the direct application of science to the kitchen by menfolk “needs tact.”
