THRIFT STAMP DANCES
GROW IN POPULARITY

Thrift stamp dances" are becom-
ing the style. They were originally
introduced by employees Of the De-
partment of Agriculture during the
recent war savings drive. Other gov
ernmental bureaus az we'll as private
organisations have adopted the idea,
which is expected by the District
war savings committee to give new
impetus to the sales here
These affairs differ from other
dances only in the matter Of admis-
sion requirement, each individual
being required to buy one or more
thrift stamps at the door. As. the
stamps become his property. he
really pays nothing for his enter
tainment, while in the aggregate a
considerable sum Is realized as q
loan to the government to help" win
employees of the Interior Depart
ment are giving such q dance in the
new building at 18th and r streets
northwest. on Monday night, July 10.
at o'clock. The spacious halls are
said to be well adapted for the needs
of the dancers. The admission re-
ouirement will be the purchase of at
least two thrift stamps.

appeals to the beginners, because OF
the subtle and unseen influence OF
temperature and handling that makes
for success or failure in breadmak-
ing. Once the student masters this
part of the art, he finds the rest OF
breadmaking plain sailing.
Baking is done in quantity. An Or
binary baking oven on a training ship
will take 80 loaves at time. The
average time for baking a batch of
bread is three-fourths of an hour. On
the Meade the ovens work ~ hours
day, with three shifts of 30 students
each on the job.
War Recipes Used by Sea Bakers.
One reasen why the sea bakers
bread is not exactly like the Old-time
home product Is that war recipes only
are now used on the merchant fleets,
as on land.
While these recipes restrict the use
of wheat flour and require the use
of substitutes, they encourage initia-
tive on the part of the instructors
and their students in the shipping
boards breadmaking schools.
Experiments made by the sea bakers
with various combinations of ingre-
dients have produced some excellent
war bread, and also have shown some
Interesting economical results.

The training Of bakers for service
at sea is a novelty in the merchant
service. It originated In the great
demand for skilled breadmakers on
the hundreds of new ships being built
by the shipping board for the govern
mcnt. Fundamentally 1t was prompt
cd nv the requirements of the mod
crn sailors diet, which is vastly better
than his sea-going ancestors ever
dreamed of having.
In grandfather's day Il ship took on
her supply of bread for voyage IN
casks, before leaving home. This sup
ply was to last until the end of the
voyage, though that might be year OF
two. The bread was in the form OF
hard biscuits 1t kept fairly well
when dry, but often 1t got damp ana
moldy, or wormy.
The old-time American sailors ideal
Of dietary luxury therefore was plenty
of soft" fresh bread. Coupled with
that he had daily visits of pies ana
buildings such as mother made back
IN Nantucket, or New London, or New
Bedford; but these he tasted while
at sea in fancy only, for his sole des-
sert, after his meal of hard bread and
salt pork or beef, or of "scouse' or
"salt-horse" hash. was portion once
a week or so of duff, which one sailor
author of so years ago described as
"nothing more than flour boiled with
water and eaten with molasses.'

On the Meade the following COM
binatiOn has been tried successfully,
in quantities sufficient to make 80

-four five pounds cornstarch, five
pounds white cornmeal, five pounds
barley, five pounds rye, two pounds
corn sugar, two pounds rendered fat,
one can (pounD condensed milk, one
and half pounds. of salt and 10
ounces of yeast.
The young sea bakers being trained
by the shipping board are under the
direction of skilled instructors, who
give them not only verbal advice, but
supply them with written directions
covering the more obvious points In
their new work.
Here are few "hints" issued to the
sluueHt DuheIo VII ihc iidhioiu'
To achieve success, the baker must
use judgment and care. Some flour
requires more water or milk than 9th
ers, so that the quantity may have to
be varied to make dough Of proper
consistency.
Different bakings will vary as to
time and heat required and should,
therefore, be examined occasionally.
To ascertain whether the bread or
cake Is sufficiently done in the CEN
ter Of the loaf, thrust clean straw
or long, thin splinter into it. IN
done, there will be no dough on 1t
when drawn out.
Measure the flour and be careful to
mix with it the baking powder in a
dry state, and before sitting.
You can always substitute water for
milk or milk for water, butter for
lard or lard for butter.
In cake the number Of eggs may be
increased or diminished, or in a plain
er cake dispensed with entirely.
Where fewer eggs are used than
directed, always use little more bak-
ing powder. Never use sour milk.
In baking loaf cake, remember that
unless you place piece of paper over
for protection at first, a top crust Will
be formed at once, that prevents the
raising When cake is well raised re.
move the paper for browning on top.

Warning as to the proper time to

Art and Mystery In Breadmaklng.
The "art and mystery" Of the old
time ship builders trade, which the
master builder was supposed to i'm
part only to his apprentices, Is pres
ent in the making Of good bread at
sea. 1t is one thing to "raise" dough
in n kitchen at home, where both the
room and the temperature are stable,
and quite another to get similar re-
suits at sea, where the bakers kitch-.
en- is always In motion, and Is usually
drafty.
The sea bakers apprentice therefore
ia first taught the Importance Of tenn
perature in handling dough. This is
impressed on him as he acquires mas
terry of mixing and gets the trick Of
,wetting the dough just enough.

and kneading 1t by hand, for most
ships do not carry mechanical mixers,
