 blonde, and full of pep, sat on the edge of her chair in New York'S Am bassador Hotel and acted out lit- tie skit for me, while her mother listened, amused.
 In it a young man cuts in on her at dance. He introduces himself and asks her name, which, knowing all that she does, she tries to num- ble. But he gets it. And from that moment on the talk is all about MT. Leslie Howard, no matter how she tries to switch it to Miss Leslie How ard.
 It's even worse when she meets another girl or woman. They al- ways say, T Just LOVE your father" and go on from there, never even seeing her.
 She declares the only part she ever gets to play in converse tion is to say, That's nice" to Dad, and answer questions - still about her Dad.
 And" she says, there's no real place TOT a young girl ln Hollywood = no crowd she can fit into. There are a number of young stars my age; but they are working people. They don't have time to be friends"
 Leslie Howard IT is looking for ward to the time when she can ac- complish something in her own name. Rather in the name she's go- ing to choose for herself.
 For she's not going to be Leslie Howard when she goes job-hunting. She is going to think up a new name one that hasn't been in elec- tric lights.

 o. How may nut meats be canned at home?
 A. Fill glass jars with nut meats and adjust the glass lids and rub bers but do not tighten them. Set the jars in water bath-either a clothes boiler or a big kettle with a rack on the bottom. Use enough water to reach almost to the top of the jars. Keep the water boiling for IS or 20 minutes. Then seal the jars and leave them in the water until it begins to cool. Store the jars in a dark room, or cover to keep them from the light. Thus processed, nut Meats will keep fresh even during hot weather.

kIo<Ie e,rr, Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX


 Although this column urges large quantities of fruits and vegetables, both raw and cooked, in the daily diet, it must not be assumed that meat is not also favored.
 Meat is recognized as an excellent source of high quality protein. The nutritive value of any protein de- pends upon the number and amount of animo-acids present.
 The superiority of animal pro- teins is an accepted fact. Meat pro- teins have an excellent supplement tary value, which means they make up animo-acid deficiencies of the cereal grain proteins.
 There is, of course, some loss of soluble protein from the meat to the drippings. This need not repre- sent loss of food value, however, since drippings ordinarily are used in making gravies and sauces.
 Experiments conducted at the Uni- versity of Missouri showed that drippings from meat which has been praised contained more protein than drippings from roasted meat. A greater degree of "doneness" in creased the loss of protein in beef cooked by both methods.
 Fat Meats Energy Rich
 Meat, especially fat meat, such as bacon is rich source of energy. The actual caloric value of a serv- ing of meat depends upon the amount of fat it contains and also upon the amount of fat eaten. A piece of meat from which the rGech- anically separable fat has been re- moved will be lower in energy value.
 For this reason, meat may be It. ted into the reducing diet, in which high quality protein is essential Lut where the caloric value must be de- creased. Cooking causes loss of fat, this loss increasing with oven tenn perature and cooking period.
 Iron and phosphorus are the two minerals of which meat is a rich source. The availability of iron in foodtstuffs has been the subject of investigation because the meas ure of the value. of any nutrient is the extent to which it it utilized by the body
 Studies on the availability of iron in certain foodstuffs were con- ducted by Sherman, Elvehjem and Hart at the University of Wisconsin,
 Iron Content High
 These workers found that there is a decided difference in the avail ability of iron from various foods. The meat products studied, includ- ing pork and beef liver, pork and beef heart, and beef muscle, were all higher in available iron than the other foods studied, with the excep- tion of soy beans, which also are a good source of available iron.
 This information is based on a recent report by the dieticians of the National Live Stock and Meat Board. It appears to be substan- tiated by the findings of other nu- tritionists of high standing.

Question: Kindly give me the
formula for waterproofng canvas.
AnsWer-Make a solution of one
pound OF shaved paraffine in a gal
Ion of gasoline. The canvas should
be stretched when applying the solu-
ton. Do this work out in the open

Outdoor Pingpong Table.
Question: What is the best way
to construct an outdoor ping
pong table? In the past the wooden
tables have warped, despite the fact
that they were apparently we'll
painted. Can you suggest a differ
ent material instead of wood, or q
method of painting that will elm
mate warping?
manufacturers of plyWood now make
a plyWood suitable for outside use.
The laminations of wood are ce-
mented together with synthetic
resin glue, which is not affected by
the weather. The entire plywood
top is then given a prime coat of
aluminium paint, followed by two
coats of good-quality deck or outside
house paint. Some public play
grounds now have pingpong tables

information to the United States
