Here Are Hints
For Making Good
Use OF Skim Milk
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

AdOleScent children eat LIN
horses" They seem to have bot
tomless stomachs. These growing
appetites, enormous as they SEEM
are a healthy sign but they do
force mothers on a low or mod
crate food budget to plan carefully,
spend wisely and study economy
recipes that produce attractive ana
satisfying dishes.
The teen age" is the time wher.
young bones are growing fast and
bodies fill out. Fuel and building
materials are needed in great
quantities. Milk is all important
in this building process. 1t is
rich in calcium and phosphorus,
essential elements for bone build
ing.
Fresh whole milk is one of the
richest forms of milk because it
contains cream also, with its but
ter fat and vitamin A. However.
skim milk contains all the other
essentials even though the butter
fat and vitamin A is not present
in any appreciate proportion. IT
skim milk is used for economy,
increase the amounts of green and
yellow vegetables in the diet for
vitamin A and add fish liver oil
once a day to the diet. Dry skim
milk, used successfully in relief
and low income diets, is very in
expensive and can be used appe-
tizingly in cooking by any careful
follower of recipes.
Five ounces of American ched-
dar cheese (often called store"
or plain American" cheese) con-
tains approximately the same
amount of food value as a quart
of milk. Buy it cut from the great
wheel of cheese r Their than in pro-
cessed form if your budget is
small.
Liberal amounts of protein are
essential for those ravenous
youngsters. Give them lean meat,
eggs or fish once a day, or at least
four times a week. But mothers
worried about the strain put on the
family budget by these large needs
of teen" children, should remem-
Der that inexpensive cuts of meat
and less popular cuts of fish are
just as valuable as protein sources
as expensive and more tender cuts.
Hearts, liver, kidney, chuck and
round steak. leg chops, ETC., will
satisfy as well as porterhouse
steak.
ROUND STEAK, BEEF LIVER
CASSEROLE
Two and one-half lbs. round
steak, chopped; l Id. beef liver,
chopped; l egg, ! tablespoon
minced parsley, l tablespoon
minced onion, salt, pepper, papri-
ka, flour, 2 cups tomato juice.
Combine chopped beef and
liver. Break in egg and mix well
with meat. Add all other ingre-
dents, except tomato juice. Shape
meat mixture in small balls, about
l inch in diameter. Grease large
pie dish with bacon drippings.
Roll meat balls lightly in flour.
Pour all on pie dish. Pour tomato
juice over them. Bake in moderate
oven $3.50 degrees F.) for about
half an hour, turning meat balls
frequently so they will be nicely
broWn.d all over.
TOMORROW'S MENU
BREAKFAST: Stewed pears,
cooked cracked wheat cereal,
whole milk, raisin mullins, COT
fee, milk.
LUNCHEON: Mixed cooked
and raw vegetable salad,

Air Affects Voice Quality

The sound of the human voice is
as dependent for its pleasant quail
ties upon the air as it is upon the
organs which produce the sound.
Experiments were made by DR..
Ernst Barany, of the University of
Upsala, Sweden, in which the air
with which the lungs are normally
filled was replaced by hydrogen.
The subject under experiment ex-
hailed air and breathed in hydrogen
from a rubber bag. Using the n.y.
drogen as medium for carrying
the sound waves, he spoke many
test syllables which were studied in
many ways and compared with the
sounds produced when air, was
breathed. The lighter gas in the
body cavities caused some of the
sound frequencies in the voice to
be raised one to tive octaves. Test
listeners were able to understand
only about two-thirds of the sylla.
bles spoken. III

$4,000 u. S. Citizens

How many American citizens live
outside the United States? One mil

about $4,000 persons exclusive Of
tourists and transitory visitors. This
figure includes an estimated IT'S, 686
Americans in Canada and New

The smallest number reported
comes from Arabia, with but 10 res

each 100000 square miles If terri
tory. In South America there are
more Americans in Brazil, which
has 1872, than in any other coun-
try. Mexico counts 12,840. Latin
America, in all, however, despite its
''neighborhood" status, has less than
$4,000 resident Americans, COM
pared with nearly $4,000 in Europe.
There Italy has the largest share,
with more than $4,000 Americans.
Picking out few of the worlds

it is recorded, contains 5000 resi-

Experts Found Behind :
Nature in War Camouf1age

Ed ALAMOGORDO, N. M.-Experts
in war camoufage could learn a
lesson from the mice, lizards and
even the burros of New Mexico, in
the opinion of DIR. Frank Blair of
the University of Michigan.
The scientist said he had decided
after three months of painstaking
scrutiny into the family life of rep
tiles and small animals in the Ala
mogordo area that men who try to
hide battleships and other war i'm
plements with well-placed paint are
strictly amateurs compared with ma
ture. -s->.-@s- .'a,~~--
DR.. Blair sought in his three
month study to determine the part
the range habits of brown pocket
mice in New Mexico played in pro-
ducing protective which
causes a brown mouse to turn white
in the white sands of New Mexi.
CO desert, black in the lava beds of
the nearby Malpais, and red in the
red sands near Alamogordo.
The scientist discovered that even
lizards in the three areas turn part.
1y white, black or red after short
stay.
He spent some time Investigating
assertions of ranchers that white
burros-commonly called Rocky
Mountain canaries be found
on the white desert sands, but
eventually decided that age and not
camouflage was responsible.
