Have you ever used a fireless cook
er? It is a box so made and lined
that when food is heated over a fire
for short time and placed in the
box the heat will be retained and the
food will continue to cook.
The ireless cooker is particularly
good for cooking the less tender cuts
Of meat or meat that requires long
cooking. It can also be used for
cooking soup, pot roast, beef stew,
Irish stew, lamb stew, coTned beef
and cabbage, boiled ham, baked
beans, chicken fricassee, vegetables,
such as turnips, parsnips, carrots and
beets, dried vegetables such as
beans, lentils, dried fruits, such as
peaches, apples, apricots and prunes,
cereals and puddings.
Most people do not cook cereals
long enough. By using a ireless
cooker you can prepare your cereal
at night, cook it on the stove about
Is minutes, put it in the fireIess
cooker, and when you get up in the
morning you will find it all cooked
and ready to be eaten. In this way
you save both time and fuel.

Without Serious Injury
fBy United Press Leased wIre)


New York, Jan. l5.--An explosion
which ripped OFF the top of submarine
II ? at the Brooklyn navy yard is
known TO have claimed four lives,
and perhaps others. Stories outside
the yard said, indeed. that five men
had perished outright in the blast.
and that upwards OF Is were prob
ably fatally injured. Officers re-
fused information OF the disaster un-
til the list OF victims has been pre-
pared, but IL was unofficially admit
ted that "oyer three or four" were
killed.
Trouble with batteries was assign
ed as the cause. A wave Of flame
swept the interior OF the undersea
vessel just after the explosion, trap
ping the men in the hull, and leaving
the manholes in the rear as the only
means OF escape.
Some Of the injured appeared
dead. and for time 1t was impos-
sible to tell just how badly they
we're hurt. because black smoke and
-grime covered their wounds and
made them appear almost like char
red bodies.
II was believed that probabl,
many of the crew Of S5, most o
whom we're aboard when the bias
came. we're seriously burned as the!
fought their way through the smoke
and fame filled diver to the exits
Some OF those who fought their way
to the outside were cloaked in
flames.
The submarine was at the yard fol
repairs. When it became apparent
that the accident might have been
more serious than at first indicated
the navy yard was closed The Off
cials withheld authoritative informa-
tion and cloaked the whole affair
In mystery.
The explosion is the second dis
aster of recent months aboard United
States undersea vessels. The other
incident was the sinking of the F-4
at Honolulu with all her crew aboard.
The commandant declared later
that his list showed the following
dead:
Plumber Logan.
John Schultz. yard workman.
Two unidentified men, one OF
whom was an enlisted sailor.
Ten men were injured, among
whom was Chief Electrician Miles
whose condition is critical ofticers
said there would be a further search,
but II is believed that all the bodies
were taken out.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
who was in New York to make a
speech, is believed to have gone TO
Brooklyn as soon as he heard Of the
explosion.
