WOMEN TURNING
To SLIDE RULES
REPLACE MEN CRAFTSMEN IN
DEFENSE INDUSTRIES
IN OHIO

BARBERTsN. O.-UP-Twenty-
four girls from Ohio colleges have
given up feminine pursuits to take
up slide rules. T-squares and draft
ing pencils in the engineering de-
partment Of a Barberton plant en-
gagged in defense work.
A shortage of young men avail
able for drafting iobs-and not the
drafted representatives Of the
Babcock & Wilcox Co. to canvass
Ohio campuses in search OF fem
mime technical talent
The concern, which makes equip
ment used in the construction OF
warships, found a number of girls
with the necessary educational re-
quirements-and a desire to help
the defense effort by working on
drawing boards.
Tried In World War
One factor in the company's swing
10 women workers in the technical
department was experience in the
World War, during which the con.
ce.n hired a number OF women,
some OF whom still work in the en-.
cheering department.
Last spring representative OF
the company visited score OF Ohio
colleges, conferred with college of
ticials, and came away with the
names of "a girls who seemed to
have the most necessary require
ments. Most OF them had planned
other careers but all were willing
to try the technical work.
To maintain a sort of off-csmpus
sorority atmosphere, the company
arranged to quarter II of the girls
in an old mansion owned by the
firm. The rest Of the girls live IN
nearby private residences but all
eat their meals and enjoy recrea-
ton at the community mansion.
One Girl Music Student
Twenty OF the girls majored in
mathematics in college. one in home
economics, one in music, one in
biology and one in chemistry.
THE industrial world looks
mighty attractive to me after four
years Of contact with the education.
al world said one of the girls. an
attractive blonde. and [ think
there's future for women in indus
try's white collar divisions"
The girls studied engineering
drawing for six weeks before &C.
tually beginning work. The course
was conducted by company engin.
eering experts II included several
trips through the plant TO give them
the necessary background.
Really. boiler designing doesn't
seem much more intricate than
dressmaking, said one OF tho
female craftsmen.

Stress Good Nutrition As Defense Need

Today nutrition authorities are Stressing the need for guarding the national health in carrying on an effective program Of defense. Tn calling attention to the importance of proper food, 1t is pointed out that survey has revealed that approxi- mately 45 million of our population are living below the safety line" of what is considered an adequate diet.
 What factors are essential in our foods to assure that the diet fully meets body needs? Protein is nec- essary to build and repair body tis- sue. There must be vitamins to pro- mote growth and protect health, and calories to supply heat and energy. Minerals, such as iron, copper, phos- phorus and calcium, are needed to build blood, bones and teeth.
 Importance of Iron
 Xn considering the minerals needed, medical authorities point to the special importance of iron as @ blood builder. It ranks first among the nutritive clements in this respect.
 The iron in the body of an av- craze adult Is only about the weight of a penny, but this clement is vital to health. Iron enters into the struc- ture of every active body cell. Iron Is Q constituent of the hemoglobin or red pigment of the 25 trillion or more red blood corpuscles, and thus helps to carry oxygen to every part of the body.
 Foods rich in iron must be added to the diet at six months or earlier and continued throughout life, &C., cording to nutrition authorities. The adult requires at least i2smilli- grams of iron daily.
 Iron Prevents Anemia
 The penalty for an insufficient iron supply Is g condition known at nutritional anen1ia, characterized by fatigue. digestive disorders and other symptoms.
 As early as 400 to 800 B. O., Q condition corresponding to anemia was described by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. Menghini, an Itlaian, Is given credit as the first to discover iron in the blood = in l747. The present view that an iron deficiency is the principal cause of anemia, was first advanced in 1889.
 In i849, a serious form of anemia, known as pernicious anemia, was described. Tn the year 1884, DTS. Minot, Murphy and Whipple were awarded the Nobel prize in medi- cine for their discovery that liver was effective in the treatment of pernicious anemia which was pre- viously regarded as a fatal disease.
 Sources of Iron
 The accompanying chart carry ing the seal of acceptance of the Committee on Foods and Nutrition of the American Medical Associa- ton, presents the most up-to-date information on the iron and copper content of our common foods. The iron of foods Is better utilized in the presence of small amounts Of cop. per. Liver. which heads the list, is recognized as pre-eminent among blood-building foods.

Canned Foods For Salads

From new until winter salads will play a more important part in meal planning and serving. There are a few fundamental points that should be observed, such as having all the ingredients well chilled, having a contrast in texture of the foods used, ard pleasing color combination.
 Canned foods are cooked foods and their texture blends well with the crisp texture of raw foods and many combinations are possible. Canned fruits, vegetables, fish and meats, as well as various juices are "musts" for the supply shelf, If the housewife wishes to have ease In preparation of spring and summer salads.
 There is confusion in the minds of some people about whether or not It is safe to use canned vegc- tables directly from the can. In- deed, 1t .s safe. Commercially can- ned foods are scientifically cooked and the temperatures and times used for each kind of food were determined by careful research in laboratories.
 Because there Is danger of irn- proper cooking of home canned non acid vegetables like peas, beans and corn, housewives have been rrg- ed to boil those vegetables for about

BrOil, Don't Fry Fish

"Broil, do not fry fish if you want to get the most from the delicious foods we obtain from the sea and lakes is the culinary advice of Jean J. Pilloy, french chef, as related to the Fishery Council.
 Although it seems the easiest way to prepare fish, frying really is the most difficut. One must be an expert to properly fry fish and yet retain the natural flavor of our marine foods, Chef Pilloy stated. '"The secret in properly cooking fish is to allow the natural fish juices to remain in the finished product. To dry these juices out by frying is just like burning money, for the best taste of the fish goes up in smoke"
 In the hands of an expert fish cook, the cheapest varieties can rival the costliest fish in taste. Therefore, the task of the prudent housewife does not end when she has secured bargain gish by buy ing what is in season, but she must go a step further and prepare the seafood properly. To aid all Ladies of the Kitchen the Fishery Council will send free a fish cook book to those who write 204 Water Street, New York City, and enclose return postage.
 But if you must fry, then try the following recipe prepared bl Chef Pilloy:
 FILET OF SEA BASS
 @ Portions)
 1.1-2 pounds Sea Bass

 1 slices bacon
 1-2 lemon cut in two
 Milk, flour, chopped parsley

 In this recipe for an economy main dish, cheese is used to extend the leftover ham. Cheese Is staple food to keep in your refrigerator for making a number of good tasting, low-cost, main dishes. It Is fine for dessert, with crackers and fruit excellent for sandwiches.

10 minutes before serving them That was for a possible safeguard That type of cooking is not neces- sary for commercially canned foods; in fact, you should avoid cooking them more than absolutely neces- sary because over-cooking will make them break to pieces.

G.A rolled rib roast of beef is one of those perennial favorites for Sun. day dinner, for company meals, for any occasion when substantial, delicious, easily prepared main dish is desired.
 The rib section Is one of the more tender portions of beef and can therefore be cooked successfully by the true roasting method, that Is uncovered and with no water added Co the pan. When the cut has been boned and rolled, 1t requires Q longer cooking period per pound than does the roast which contains the ribs, for these act as conductors of heat. When they have been re- moved therefore additional roasting time Is required.
 A rolled roast is easy to carve, which Is one of the reasons for its popularity. Thin, even slices are cut across the face of the roll. The cords which hold the meat are cut one by one as the carver reaches them. ee
