butter. So do jelly, jam and honey.
Catsup, chilli sauce, salad dressing
or chopped pickles add zestful tart
note.
But peanut butter is not con-
fined to sandwiches. 1t makes
soup that is different and delicious.
Simply blend peanut butter with the
juice from canned or cooked to-
matoes and add a little -four. Then
add the hot cooked tomatoes and
season with salt and pepper.
The idea Of combining peanuts
with tomatoes or other vegetables
can also be carried over to seal
loped dishes, loaves or croquettes. To
make scalloped onions and peanuts.
slice cooked onions into baking
dish and cover each layer with
chopped peanuts and a sauce made
of fat, flour, milk and salt. Top
with layer OF buttered crumbs and
bake In a moderate oven for about
20 minutes until the crumbs are
golden brown. The flavor of the
onions and peanuts combines into
something quite different from eth
er one alone.
Peanuts and carrots baked to-
gether in a loaf are another good
combination to use as a main dish.
So are chopped peanuts and bean
pulp made into croquettes with a
thick tomato sauce and fried in deep
fat. Adding tomatoes to these mix
lures or serving with tomato sauce
gives suggestion of appetizing acid
flavor.
To those who are surprised at
the idea of using peanuts as a main
dish, nutritonists explain that the
food values found in peanuts give
them the right to headline any meal.
Like nuts, peanuts are rich in fat;
and they are rich in protein, as are
legumes. They are also good
source Of phosphorus and vitamin
B1.
But aside from the food values,
peanuts still have decided appeal on
the basis of flavor They are espe-
cially good when baked in cookies,
cakes, biscuits or rolls. Peanuts are
so rich in fat that they may take
the place of part or all the shorten
ing in some recipes. For example,
use less fat in biscuits that have
peanut butter added, and make pea
nut butter drop cookies with peanut
butter as the only source of fat.
Given below is one good recipe
for biscuits favored with peanut
butter.
PEANUT BUTTER BISCUIT.
2 cups sifted flour.
Y teaspoon salt.
4 teaspoons baking powder.
tablespoons peanut butter.
2 tablespoons fat.
Milk.
Sift the dry ingredients and rub
the peanut butter and fat into the
flour with the tips of the fingers.
Make we'll in this dry mixture and,
stirring from the center, slowly add
enough milk to make a soft dough.
Knead slightly, pat to about 1a-inch
thickness on lightly Toured board
and cut in rounds. Bake in a hot

minutes or until lightly Drowned.

Several Hints
For MatrOnS
To Follow
Winter Wardrobes
Frightened With
New Collars
By Patricia Lindsay.

There is a tendency to go drat
in dress during the cold winter
months. A woman is likely TO
figure that her coat is going to
hide her dress, so why bother to
fuss. When you begin to feel like
that, take a good squint at yourself
in your mirror-I1l bet you look
pretty uninteresting Make a turn
about face and perk up. Lack of
vanity is sure sign Of old age
getting you or that you are in need
of vacation and change!
Bright new makeup helps lot
to make a woman look chic and
thoughtfully groomed. Winter
shades are keyed to winter clothes
colors, and. as ones skin lightens
a shade or two during the colder
months, check and see If your
powder Is light enough for your skin
tone. Keep your skin well lubri-
Gated so it will not look wrinkled
and old-notice the difference in
your appearance when you apply
shiny cream to your face! Literally,
the lubricant makes your skin look
years younger.
BY sewing on a pretty organdie
ruffle or a smart set of collar and
cuffs to an oldish dress you not
only get more wear from the model
but it looks new on you. White
or the paler pastel shades near
ones face are most flattering and
more women should take advantage
of the delightful assortment of
neckwear offered. Every type of
woman has been considered by the
designers and you are bound to find
q lingerie set which will give you
and your dress the lifts needed!
I'll wager you have had the ex-
perience Of being caught looking
ungroomed by some one whom you
wanted terribly to impress-an old
beau, catty female friend, your
sons best girl-or any one Of the

people important in your life. It
certainly pays to look smart all of
the time, and a woman likes her
self better and radiates poise and
charm if she knows she is most pre-
sentable.
Look over your shoes, too. They
may need new heels lifts or a pro-
fessional cleaning. oxford laces
have a way of growing limp all of
sudden, so keep on hand few fresh
pairs of laces for such emergencies
Around January the gloves you
bought at the beginning of the sea-
son look the worse for wear. Have
yours cleaned or buy a new pair or
two, because fingers tumble if ones
gloves are ill-fitting or soiled.
Little details of grooming make a
great difference between a drab,
uninteresting appearance and one
of alluring smartness. All women
should give these details the con-
sideration they merit.

Because this pattern is one you'll
surely repeat over and over again,
two different necklines are included,
so that you can vary it as you like,

spun rayon, polka dot print and

type of dress.

both surfaces, the pressure is ap-
piled. The glue must be thoroughly
dry before pressure is removed
Clamps or a rope or cloth tourniquet
should be used. Five-inch strips
of torn unbleached muslin make an
excellent tourniquet and one that
will leave no marks on the wood.
Use the best furniture glue you can
buy as it will save you from doing
the job twice.
After this you are ready for the
sanding. when all the cracks. dents
and dark spots have been removed
and all loose joints frightened.
The wood may be sanded or rub
bed with steel wool until the sur
face is perfectly smooth to the
touch. One must always sand with
the grain of the wood because
scratches made by rubbing across
the grain cannot be entirely re-
moved. A medium -to-fine grade
az to 500 OF sandpaper is best,
starting with the coarsest and fin
ishing with the finest grade. Since
the beauty of the wood when fin
ished depends to great extent on
the sanding, one must take sufficient
time to rub well with the coarse
grade before the finer one is used.
Some pieces of close grained wood
may be rubbed entirely with steel
wool, first medium and then fine
grade. Be sure to wear gloves to
prevent particles Of the steel wool
from penetrating your skin. Steel
wool Is especially useful for rubbing
curved sections and turnings, and
the fine grade will not scratch the
wood even if used against the grain
After the sanding is completed and
the surface smooth to the touch,
dust it off carefully and give 1t
coat of the Oil mixture raw linseed
oil a and turpentine ~ to clean
the surface. This will indicate
whether or not all spots and holes
have been taken care of and show
you the color of the natural wood
after it is finished.
The next process, staining and
finishing which makes your furni-
ture better than new again, will be
available next Wednesday.

of old wood they have collected for
this purpose Lately we saw a ma
hogany dining table which had a
large burn in its surface where an
automatic toaster had not shut off
and literally burned its way right
into the wood BY removing
patch of wood from the underside Of
the table so that the grain was iden-
tical, the burned surface was cut out
and the patch grated in to cover it.
This was verv cleverly done by an
expert cabinetmaker and the patch
IS hardly discernible. Generally,
this is a Job for an experienced per-
son, because besides being sure that
the old piece of wood is the same
texture and color as that in the fur
niture being repaired, it is neces-
sary to know how to reproduce the
original effect with the new piece.
OF the eight possible ways of putting
in a new square or oblong piece OF
wood, seven are incorrect, as the
piece has four sides and each side
has a right and wrong one for
matching. In only one position will
the patch be correctly placed. All
repair work should be properly glued
and dried under pressure. Boards
that are warped badly will have to
be cut into strips and refitted. This
also should be done by some one
familiar with woodworking.
If glued parts are loose or creaky
they should be re-glued. which is
quite an art in itself. All old glue
and varnish should be thoroughly
scraped from the parts to be glued

all previous records with tons Of
peanuts to spare"
There's hardly a person In the
United States to whom this news
isn't pertinent. For Salted peanuts
and peanut candies have become
favorites everywhere i from the
circus grounds to the bridge tables.
And now peanuts also have found
their way into the kitchen-in many
kinds of cooked dishes and baked
products.
The peanut is really a legume
like the pea, from which it gets the
first part of its name. But. unlike
other legumes. the peanut plant
bears long shoots or pegs" These
pegs burrow underground and there
the pods grow on the end Of the
pegs Each pod contains one, two
or three delicious kernels. These
kernels are so much like nuts that
they can be used the same way as
walnuts, pecans or almonds. Yet
they also have the characteristics
of legumes and can be used like dried
peas or beans.
Peanut butter, one Of the best
known sandwich spreads. is rather
new product. At least, grandmoth-
er never carried a peanut butter
sandwich to school for lunch as
children do today.
A good share of the peanut crop
each year is made into peanut but
tar by commercial concerns. But,
according to the Bureau of Home
Economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, 1t is easy
enough to make peanut butter at
home with an ordinary meat grind
er equipped with a very fine blade.
The peanuts must be roasted first,
either purchased that way or roast
ed in the oven at home. Use pea
nuts with the shells and skins re-
moved and grind the nuts two or
three times so the butter Is fine and
granular, but not pasty. Mix q
little salt with the peanut butter
and add a little bland table oil II
it seems too dry. Pack into dish
or jar that can be covered tightly
and keep in cool place.
The peanut butter sandwich filling
is at its best when combined with
something crisp, something sweet
or something sour. Chopped car
rot or chopped onion gives a crisp
texture to the sandwich. Chopped
dried fruits such as raisins, dates,
or prunes blend well with peanut

Susan
By Nell Giles.

This is our sly way Of approaching
the diet question. If we say
Susan, be smooth be rounded
and curved" you think we mean
fat.
Then you cut down on milk, po-
tatoes and meat; you develop a
haggard look; you're grouchy; your
skin becomes sallow, and you have
the energy Of tin whistle. Isn't
it so?
You see that what we really mean
is that you must eat properly to
be pretty. We won't mention health;
we'll stick to beauty. Shall we go
on?
The proper diet is almost entirely
responsible for the beauty of your
skin and teeth and the shine in
your eyes. This is diet which
contains protein for growth, iron
for blood, calcium and PHOSPHORUS
for teeth and bone, vitamins for
strength, energy, good eyesight.
eve are still talking about beauty
not healthO
Taking these essentials, we can
quickly summarize what a beauty
diet must contain each day.
For a clear skin:
Meat, fish, eggs, milk, fruit
and fresh vegetables. These
foods build red blood, firm your
muscles and keep your whole
system in order if they are eaten
in this proportion every day;
only one of these: Meat, fish,
eggs; one quart of milk, two
green or yellow vegetables, one
potato, at least one fruit. This
diet is non-fattening.
For good teeth:
Your quart Of milk day will
do most for this department.;
other boosters: Fresh orange

II you think you're getting away

sadly mistaken Those badly
cared for fingernails, we mean. that

the BEST Dressed" list.
First of all, be sure that your nails
are scrupulously clean--and at all
times. (But don't do your renovat-

against borrowing some cuticle oil
and an orange stick from the lady
of the house, either, and a once-over

nice, trim look, minus the untidiness
of rough. ragged cuticle.
Best of all. if you can manage to
have an occasional professional
manicure, that's the best idea. Your
nails will be put into shape and per-
haps a coat of colorless nail polish

Some of the most interesting news
to come out Of mems fashion reports
lately is word about a new class
ification of mems suitS-better
known as "semisports" types. Since
the vogue for lightweight tweeds
for town and business has come into
being, the accessory designers have
been helping them develop a Jekyl
and Hyde complex.
To put it plainly, for town wear
the tweeds look well with a HON.
burg. conservative shirt and tie and
black calf shoes. Then in a light
ming change, they go strictly casual
and country" by the addition of
sport felt hat, sport shirt, knitted
tie and brogues. In this category
you will find plaidS and gray flannel
suits either plain or with chalk
stripes. For more "dressy" town
wear. you can always fall back on
sharkskins or clear-cut worsteds.
Sure, we know you like to wear
tewelry E. But do you have to look
like an animated lad" for a jewelry
store? In other words, a little bit
OF conservativeness is welcomed by
the best of men who know that
one ring, watch and key chain
Is plenty.
Seems that lately we've been no
ticing an overdose Of jewelry on the
men about town. A couple of
rings, watch, key chain, tie clasp
and now, to top things off, they've
taken to wearing emblems in their
lapels. . We're all for you wear

of the similar types, but slow down

Ter" variety. Many new purses are
much longer than last season and,
consequently, more graceful. With
the trend toward a slim, elongated
line in fashion. it's not only natural.
but fairly obvious that bags should
adopt the same general silhouette.
In fabrics, you'll find such in
teresting things as a material called
~Baleen" which means whalebone.
It's descriptive of the wide, walled
silk that was the favorite of grand
mothers day. In our day it makes a
smart afternoon purse which does
not. needless to say, smudge white

Personally, we think that color
Is much more interesting in the
accessory field than even silhouette
or material. In the first place,
there is more interest in colorful
accessories and more daring COM
binations of clothes-an in good
taste, of course. So, when you see
bright red bags you'll be told that
they're advocated to "pick up GER
tain shades of green and you'll find
that a green suit with red bag,
gloves and umbrella makes a smart
and not too alarming ensemble
You'll do amazing things this season
with beige accessories or green or
navy ones-and you'll find, perhaps
to your surprise, that you can work
all sorts of daring combinations
without looking like something that
hoped off a circus poster.

Army to Retreud Auto Tires
To Conserve Supply Of Rubber

After making a Nation wide sur
vey of automobile firms available
for retreading old tires, the War
Department announced plans yes
terday for conserving about SO per
cent of the rubber used in tires OF
Army vehicles which are expected
to total approximately 100000 in a
few months.
Besides helping to conserve the
Nations rubber supply, needed for
many forms of military use, the plan
will be tested for economy.
Bids will soon be requested by the
Quartermaster Corps to mold a
rugged type of non-skid tread on
thousands of used tires on Army
passenger cars and trucks. Experts
at the Holabird Quartermaster De-
pot in Baltimore have put recondi-
toned tires through gruelling tests.
Evening star., 1941-08-24

Both recapped and retreaded tires
were run on a 9,000-mile convoy and
1t was found that q tire recap lasts
about 30 per cent Of the normal
service of the original tread.
Industry Widely Scattered.
Reconditioning costs approximate
ly 40 per. cent of the price of a new
tire, say the Army economists
( The industry is large and widely
scattered to suit Army purposes.
Some $500 firms recap tires. the
survey disclosed, with an estimated
1000 plants on the West Coast.
The Army has found that private
firms can tread tires at less cost
than the Army can purchase and
operate its own equipment. This
conclusion is backed by the expert
ence of the British Army. For many
months the British forces have
