Broccoli Should Not
Be Cooked Too Long

Broccoli has come to be regarded as
a sort of aristocratic relative of caul-
flower, but in it's native habitat-Italy
and France-it was more democratic,
and eaten quite widely. The chief
point to watch in cooking it is that it
does not become overdOne and cOnse-
uuentIy too soft to lift in whole pieces.
The bureau of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture gives the following method of
cooking it:
Trim off and discard the leaves and
tough lower portion of the stalks of
broccoli. Thoroughly wash the re-
naming center stalks with flower
heads attached, and cut lengthwise
into strips. Drop into lightly salted
boiling water, leave the kettle uncov-
cred, and cook for 10 to % minutes.
AS soon as the broccoli is tender and
while the color is still fresh green,
drain, season with salt and pepper to
taste, and add melted butter or other
fat, or serve with hollandaise sauce

1t is the fur-lavished short Jacket
suit which is holding the center of
the stage when it comes to the really
distinctive costume for wear about
town. The vogue has to do with per-
fectly stunning types, which are
furred TO the nth degree of luxury.
Some of these midwinter suits are
fairly breath-taking in their fur eX-
travagance and animated lines" This
is especially true of the smart and
colOrful tweeds, the short jackets of
which are bordered with SNOWY long
haired fur which stands out about the
nipline in sprightly peplum effect.
Quite often the jacket is nipped in at
the waistIine, thus eXaggerating con-
tour of flaring lines. Add to this a
fur collar of generous proportion with
wide and novel cuffs, also matching
muff and the picture of perfect mid
winter short-jacket suit, as fashion
interprets it, is complete.
Contrasting the extreme winter
types just described is the suit which
is more conservatively furred with fiat
peltry such as astrakhan galyak, cara
cul, dyed lapin, and only just recently

were counting on wearing. Grease
spots, like those made by salad dress
ing or other food, or by car grease,
can be taken out comparatively easy

but on some fabrics after cleaning a
faint, still larger spot remains where
the original damage occurred.
Just why do rings form? They are
caused in two ways. The extra dress
ing in the material often dissolves in
the cleaning fluid and backs up to
form ring. The other cause is the
spreading of soil by the fluid. Most
silks, especially the less expensive
ones, are heavily dressed in the finish
ing process of manufacture. This
gives them a better feel, better drap-
ing qualities, and greater weight.
The materials used in this finish
the wakes, gums, sugar, deXtrine, and
glue, are apt to cause rings when the
cleaning fluid is applied. They are
dissolved, carried back to the edge of
the damp portion, and left there as
the fabric dries. Another cause of
rings is that the stain merely spreads,
and is not removed from the fabric.
The grease spot or soil already on the
garment may just dry in again, as the
cleaning fluid evaporates. Often our
dresses are slightly soiled even when
1t does not show. In that case it is
usually necessary to dip the entire
dress in naphtha or gasoline to re-
move a spot satisfactorily.
Whether a spot comes out without
leaving ring also depends on the
weave and color of the material that
has been stained. A ring will not
show as plainly on rough and figured
fabrics, such as rep or fiat crepe. as
it does on smooth and plain-colored

fluid is applied carefully" says an ex-
pert in the bureau of home economics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. "Most cleaning fluids.
such as chloroform, ether, wood al
cohol, gasoline, and carbon tetra-
chloride, are very good. OF these. car
bon tetrachloride is the least likely to
form rings. 1t has additional merit of
being nonin1ammable."
Here's the method of procedure rec
commended by the bureau: "Place a
smooth pad of clean white material
under the part of the garment to
be cleaned. Next, put clean white
plotting paper on the pad and place
the garment wrong side up with the
stain on the blotting paper, right side
next to the blotter. Use a soft rag,
and take care not to allow the stained
material to become very wet. Always
brush lightly from the outside Of the
spot toward the center and spread the
moisture unevenly into the surround
ing goods. The secret of the trick is
to spread or feather out the liquid
into the fabric surrounding the treated
section until there is no definite edge
when the material dries. This pre-
vents the ring. 1t is always well to
hasten the drying by brushing with a
dry rag"
If the grease stain has been caused
by mixture of food materials, not all
of which are grease il is we'll TO brush
| the spot lightly with a small clean dry
brush before beginning to remove the
stain. In this way, particles Of food
may be loosened and brushed off with
less chance of dissolving them and
spreading the stain.

One Chance in a Million

Maybe you think you're pretty brave
when you ''play long shot" in sport
or in business when all you stand to
lose is money. But what about ven-
ture in which YOUR chances are, say,
one in a million and the thing you're
wagering is your life? The history of
the A. K. r. is filled with such in
stances. Here are two that are
typical:
The outfit in which little Charley
CamerOn-little in size, perhaps, but
big in courage-served was attacking
a strongly defended German trench.
There wasn't much doubt but that
they'd capture it but to do it they
would have to pay a fearful price. So
little Charley ran around the trench
and took position which was swept by
the fire of his own outfit. Shouting as
loud as he could he opened fire on the
Germans. Believing that they were
completely surrounded, the enemy
made haste to hoist their hands and
yell "Kamerad!"
A similar stunt was that Of Her
man korth, born on the banks or the
Rhine but as good an American and
a soldier as any who claimed the
United States as his birthplace. Her
man was a machine gunner and in one
attack the advance was held up be-
cause it was impossible for our gun
ners to locate the German artillery on
the other side of hill. So Herman
ran up the slope of the hill to the top
and drove stakes for our gunners TO
get the range. Considering the fact
that he was in plain view of the
enemy all the while and that hun
dreds of them were shooting at him, his
chances, like those of Charley Cam
erOn's, were about one in million.
But he knowingly took that chance.
And he won.
