TOAN BENNETT’S young
J daughter Diane is hoping
that the tires on the family
car will wear out fast. She’s
been waging a campaign to
drive that car, or else to have
a pony cart of her own. The
first thing Miss Bennett did
after completing work with
Franchot Tone in Columbia’s
“Highly Irregular” was to buy the
pony cart; Diane's offered to drive
her mother to the studio each morn-
ing.

This sketch shows how one
homemaker made cheerful, soft
green sateen blackout draperies,
repeating a tone in the chintz of
the new slip covers. They are
edged with cotton cord fringe in
a darker tone.
When an alien does not wish to
be inducted into any branch of the
American army or navy, he may
file an “Application by Alien for
Relief From Military Service”
with his draft board. Such an act,
while canceling his obligation to
fight for this country, automatical-
ly bars him from ever becoming
a citizen of the United States.

(See Recipes Below)
Substitute Foods
I Most vital question every home-
maker is now facing is how to sub-
•titute certain available foods for
shortages. Sugar
shortages and re-
duced supplies of
fats, oils and cer-
tain imports make
it necessary for
every one of you
to revise your
meals in some re-
spects and use substitutes.
Although sugar rationing is to be
in effect, you will still be able to get
some of it. There are also good sub-
stitutes for it such as honey, mo-
lasses and corn syrup all of which
may be used very easily for cooking
and sweetening purposes. Still an-
other excellent source of sugar is in
the dried fruits which you can use
for dessert to get your daily quota
of sugar.
Select recipes which have less
eggs, sugar and butter, for although
there may not be an actual shortage
of all these items, they may be ex-
pensive.
Fats are extremely valuable in
the current emergency, and you are
advised to save as much of fats and
oils as you can. Be sure that your
butcher puts in all the scraps of fat
and trimmings off the meat you buy.
You can take these pieces home
.and clarity them for use in frying,
flavoring or actual cooking.
1 If you have blithely discarded the
scraps of butter off the butter plates
after dinner, lunch or breakfast,
then remedy your habits immedi-
ately. Even if you do not use the
butter scraps as table butter, these
can be used for flavoring vegeta-
bles, or in larger amounts for cook-
ing and baking purposes. Be sure
the butter is kept in the icebox or
at least in a cool place so it will not
become rancid.
Butter and its substitutes will be
available, but you should plan to use
these foods spar-
ingly. You can
! substitute the corn
and vegetable or
even mineral oil
for salad dress-
ings if you are
unable to obtain
olive oil.
Cheeses which have been formerly
imported are available only in lim-
ited quantities, but American made
cheeses are coming to the fore, the
Bleu and Camembert cheeses being
of excellent quality.
Soybeans are becoming a popular,
nutritious food during the current
emergency. Here is an excellent rec-
ipe for:
Soy Bean Yeast Bread.
(Makes 1 loaf)
1 cup milk
1 cake compressed yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fat, melted
1 teaspoon salt
3% cups wheat flour
% cup soy bean flour

Bill and Brenda Marshall, his wife,
went east recently they left Brenda’s

quite a vocabulary in Chinese, but
preferred it to English!

I ONG before we were threat-
1 ened with the necessity of
blackouts window draperies were
hung well over walls to give rooms
a sunny spacious effect. The same
idea may now be used to keep
light in at night. A cornice taking
the place of a picture moulding is
smart for both modern and tradi-
tional rooms and gives anchorage
near the ceiling for rod, or pole.

True Greatness
It is great, and there is no other
greatness—to make one nook of
God’s creation more fruitful, bet-
ter, more worthy of God; to make
some human heart a little wiser,
manlier, happier, more blessed,
less accursed.—Carlyle.
The true role, in determining to
embrace or reject anything, is not
whether it have any evil in it, but
whether it have more of evil than
of good.
There are few things wholly evil
or wholly good. Almost every-
thing, especially of government
policy, is an inseparable compound
of the two, so that our best judg-
ment of the preponderance be-
tween them is continually demand-
ed.—A. Lincoln.

LOOK FOR THE LEAF ON THE PACKAG
Lynn Says:
With new equipment at a pre-
mium, you will be a wise home-
maker if you give the best care
possible to the pieces you al-
ready have.
Disconnect electric appliances
by grasping the plug itself, not
by pulling on the cord. When
washing electrical equipment such
as coffee pots or toasters or waffle
irons, wipe with a cloth rather
than immersing in water.
Scouring pots and pans with
steel wool pads impregnated with
soap, after each meal during
which you use pots and pans,
will keep them bright and shiny
longer.
Keep sulphur away from sil-
verware to prevent tarnish. Eggs,
matches, salt, fruit juice and even
rubber tarnish silver quickly.
When washing cutlery with wood-
en handles, be careful not to let
the handles stand in water or they
will become loosened.
Grease new pans before putting
them in the oven and they will
never rust. For rusty pie tins,
rub a raw potato with cleansing
powder on it to get rid of the
rust quickly.
To sharpen scissors cut a fine
grained piece of sandpaper into
strips.
Scald milk and cool to lukewarm.
Pour over yeast and sugar in mix-
ing bowl and let stand for % hour.
Add melted fat and salt and the
flours, beating them in well. Knead
the dough for about 10 minutes on a
lightly floured board. Cover and let
rise in a warm place for % hour,
then knead again for 1 minute. Re-
peat the rising and kneading, proc-
ess twice more. Shape into a loaf
and let rise again in a greased pan
until double in bulk or about an
hour. Bake in a hot (400-degree)
oven about 50 minutes.
Honey or molasses along with
fruits rich in carbohydrates contrib-
ute to the sugar content of this fruit
bread:
•Fruit Bran Bread.
1 egg
% cup honey or molasses
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1% cups bran cereal
% teaspoon soda
% cup chopped figs
% cup chopped dates
% cup raisins
% cup chopped nuts
Beat egg well, add honey or mo-
lasses. Add bran and buttermilk.
Sift the dry ingredients and add to
first mixture with fruit and nuts.
Stir only until flour disappears. Bake
in a greased loaf pan with waxed
paper placed at the bottom before
the mixture is poured in. Set the
oven at moderate (350 degrees) and
bake bread for about 1 hour.
Simplicity will be the keynote of
meals so in keeping with that theme,
I am including two desserts using
fruit flavored with honey.
Broiled Grapefruit.
Wash and dry grapefruit and cut
in half crosswise allowing % grape-
fruit per person. With a sharp knife
cut around and under the entire pulp
being careful to leave all the mem-
brane on the shell. Cut down each
side of each section loosening each
section completely. Lift out center
section or core. This leaves only
the separated sections in the shell.
Spread the top of each half with
honey and dot with butter. Place un-
der a broiler flame in moderate
oven until honey begins to carmel-
ize and all ingredients are blended
together. Serve hot.
•Baked Pears.
(Serves 8)
8 pear halves
% cup lemon juice
% cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
Arrange pears in a shallow bak-
ing dish. Pour over lemon juice and
honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon and
dot with butter. Bake in a moderate
(350-degree) oven until tender, 20
minutes if uncooked pears are used.
•Old Fashioned Boiled Dinner.
(Serves 8)
5 pounds corned beef brisket
1 white turnip
1 head of cabbage
8 onions
8 carrots
8 potatoes
Cover meat with cold water and
heat rapidly to the boiling polr.t,
then remove scum and reduce heat.
Simmer until tender 3% to 4 hours.
Prepare vegetables, cutting turnip
into eighths. Peel potatoes, carrots
and onions. About 45 minutes be-
fore meat is done add vegetables
and cook them until tender.
Serving Well Cooked Food.
Warm plates for hot main dishes
and well chilled plates for cool sal-
ads and desserts can put over the
simplest meal and make it a suc-
cess. A few bits of canned leftover
fruit with a dab of leftover jelly
will make meat platters an attrac-
tive garnish, or sprigs of parsley,
watercross, or celery tops for meat
and vegetable platters do big things
to tempt weary appetites.

JUDY GARLAND
“Zing Go the Strings of My Heart.”
It's her lucky song; she sang it sev-
eral years ago when she auditioned
for her contract at Metro, and ever
since then she’s chosen it for her
personal appearances.
The Hays office has requested de-
signers of screen clothes to avoid
planning costumes which would use
a lot of material, when the women
of America are being instructed to
conserve material. Veronica Lake
will be the first star to wear the
new “conservation” garments; in
“The Glass Key” she’ll wear "just
enough goods to go around.” Of
course, Dorothy Lamour really
came first, with her sarong.
Twenty-five thousand beauty shop
owners recently chose Rita Hay-
worth as America’s No. 1 red-head.
Jinx Falkenburg as the No. 1 bru-
nette, and Evelyn Keyes as the
blonde. Seems for a year they’d
consulted their customers and found
that the hair styles of these three
were the ones most popular. You
may judge for yourself by seeing
Rita’s new picture, “My Sister
Eileen,” Miss Falkenburg’s “Sweet-
heart of the Fleet” and Evelyn
Keyes’ “The Adventures of Martin
Eden”—of course it’s pure coinci-
dence that they’re all Columbia pic-
tures!
When Clarence Nash first quacked
like a duck on a Burns and Allen
program, way back last November,
nobody had any idea that the duck
might soon become a star member
of the cast. But "Herman" has be-
come so real to a host of listeners
that he gets fan mail, and each
week brings letters asking if he’s a
real duck or just a noise, which de-
lights both George and Gracie.
"The Nightingale and the Rose,”
a new one-act opera commissioned
by the National Broadcasting com-
pany, will have its first performance
on April 25 over a nation wide hook-
up. Dr. Frank Black, NBC general
music director, will conduct the per-
formance, and Vivian della Chiesa
and Felix Knight, both well known
to radio listeners, will sing the lead-
ing roles. The opera is based on
an Oscar Wilde fairy tale.
—*—
Henry Segall, who won an Oscar
for his original story, “Here Comes
Mr. Jordan, " which was made
by Columbia, tried vainly for three
years to sell it. The studio execu-
tives who wouldn't buy it must feel
like the publishers who turned down
“Gone With the Wind." By the way,
we're told that 5,489,000 persons
have seen the movie about "Scarlett
O’Hara” twice or more.
—*—
ODDS AND ENDS—The first movie
studio to fly a service flag is Paramount,
with 99 stars . . . Three of Bing Crosby’s
quartet of »on» have recovered from the
mumps, which they had simultaneously;
the hold-out was Lindsay ... Clark Cable
will next ba starred by Matro in "Shadow
of the Wing," a story of the army air
tor pt ,.. Joan Crawford knits a minimum
of two 56-inch woolen scarves for the
wavy every day, between scenes of “He
Kissed the Bride" ... Larry Parks, play-
ins the part of a filling Motion operator
for that same picture, didn’t have to learn
how ho worked his way through high
school in a gas station.
