Mary Barber, who has
planned menus for our
new Army, gives some
fine personal recipes
% Ss<1oe &s'ses

~ MALL, unmarried Mary I. Barber,
- with the pretty face and nimble
~ body. is acting as stand-in for
more than a million and a half Ameri-
can mothers, when it comes to feed
ing the boys who are being initiated
into the United States Army. The
job suits her for, like many diminu-
tive women, she has strong mater
nal instinct for making brawny. young
males comfortable and getting plenty
of good food into their stomachs.
What is more important. she knows
how to do it, even on gigantic
scale. She is an expert dietitian with
a degree from Columbia University,
vast practical experience, and pres
tige as President of the American
Dietetic Association; she is also a
successful business woman, and a
competent organizer, with the price
less gift Of tact.
These are the reasons why William
S. Knudsen's Office of Production
Management borrowed Miss Barber
from the Kellogg Company. and took
her away from the old Michigan house
she had just bought, done over, and
furnished for herself. In Washington.
Quartermaster General Gregory want
ed her to work in the Subsistence
Branch of his Supply Division, and
help see to it that our American SOL
diers eat better and more scientifically
than any other army in the world.
There Miss Barber set to work on
plans of Colonel Paul Logan. head of
the Subsistence Branch, for a new
field ration which went into effect on
May in all army camps in the ma
ton. These plans have covered every
thing from the way the food is pur-
chased and the perfect balancing of
the diet to actual menus, that take
into account the mems favorite dishes,
as well as insure plentiful supply of
calories. proteins, vitamins and min
erals.
Perhaps the most interesting re-
suit of the new plans is the change in
the method of buying fresh fruits and
vegetables, known to the Army as
: "perishables. In the old days, the
quartermaster from each camp, re-
placement center, or fort advertised
individually for bids. He then closed,
as best he could, with a bidder who
could meet army specifications that
read more like blueprints for building
a barrack than like standards for
judging tomatoes or corn or peaches.
One result was that in locality where
number of army centers were locat-
ed. five different quartermasters found
themselves bidding against each 9TH
er, with somebody always getting the
short end of the deal Today the ex-
pert food buyer of new procurement
office does the purchasing for all five
of these military centers.
There are thirty of these procure
ment or purchasing offices from New
York to Florida and from Coast to
Coast, each located near great mar
ket center, and each under the con-

MEN LIKE HER MEALS

troll of the central office in Chicago
which is headed up by John A. Mar
tin, another member of MIR. Knud-
sens Production Management staff.
Besides the hundreds of knotty .
technical problems she had to solve,
Miss Barber has acted as trouble-fixer
between the new army and anxious
mothers. American mothers of 1941
have been writing Uncle Sam hun
dreds of letters asking about the army
food, and not infrequently have gone
right into headquarters at Washing
ton to talk things over and find out
just what their sons are getting to eat.
1t is Miss Barber who answers the
letters and talks to the visitors. And
she has also gone from city to city
to tell women's groups personally how
. we'll the boys are being fed.
Food has always been important
to Miss Barber. 81 learned to respect
it in my parents house in Titusville,
in western Pennsylvania" she says.
when l grew up, l could not find
enough to keep me busy in Titusville
where the oil wells were the chief, if
not the only, business in which any
one had made or hoped to make
money. So it was natural for me to
follow in my sisters footsteps and go
to Drexel Institute in Philadelphia TO
study home economics"
When she had finished at Drexel
Institute, Miss Barber taught for a
while. Then came the first World War
and a call for home economists to
show women how to conserve food.
Miss Barber worked at that in New
York, and at the same time studied
for her degree at Teachers College of
Columbia University. After gradua-
ton she became an instructor there
for several years, and since then has
been in business and has become one
of the most important home econo-
mists in the business world.
81 expect to 60 back to Michigan
around the first of June" Miss Barber
says. "The bulk of my work in con-
nection with army food is done. will
still remain with the Army on a con-
sultant basis, but shall be able to
open my new house again and resume
the high teas had made popular
among my friends out there"
The recipes which follow now are
few of Miss Barber's favorites, some
of them original with her, and others
old family recipes from Pennsylvania.

the front of the unit. Here it goes
through the filters and by-passes
the inner casing on both sides. At
the rear of the inner casing, a
partition defects the air upward
to the double dough-nut radiator.
The air then travels over the top
and down through the air cores OF
these two radiators.
From here air is pulled from
the radiators through the blower
and then pushed up " the COM
bustion chamber inside the inner
casing. From here, it is forced up
through the humidifier to the
Warm-air hood which is located
just back of the cold air intake.

Canadian Wheat Will
Be Shipped to Spai,

LONDON, Jan. 19.-R-The Brit
ish embassy at Madrid and the
Spanish ministry Of industry and
commerce have signed an agree
ment for shipment to Spain of guam
titles Of Canadian wheat now stored
by Britain in the United States, it
was made known today.
Under this agreement, said to
have been reached yesterday, the
first shipment of $1,000 tons will
leave Baltimore shortly in Spanish
ships.
The contract is regarded as a sign
Of improved British relations with
Spain, often regarded as tied to the
Rome-Berlin Axis but suffering from
a wheat shortage, as well as an in
dication of smooth progress in Brit
ish-Spanish talks on the status of
Tangier, the Moroccan internation-
allied zone which Spanish forces

Advantages of Using

''The Lennox Oil Aire-Flo is the
finest, most efficient, most dur

ing burners yet developed" said
the management of the Hanover
Iron Works, in commenting on the
new Lennox air conditioning units
now being installed locally. 1T
produces fuel savings as great as
10 per cent to 20 per cent over
the usual oil-fired air conditioning
units and Is per cent to so per
cent over conversion burners in
gravity furnaces. Not only is it a
fine piece of precision equipment,
but it is also extremely attractive
in appearance-totally enclosed in
one smart cabinet, beautifully de-
signed and finished in two-tone
baked enamel.
"We urge you to compare this
unit with any other oil-fired air
conditioner on the market" they
continued. "You will find that this
