VOICE OF AMERICA

The German public is now get
ting U. s. radio programs over
standard wave lengths for the first
time since the fall of France in
May, 1870
For close to two years, the only
way the U. S. could reach Nazi-
dominated Europe direct by radio
was via short-wave. AS short
wave sets are scarce there, Ameri-
can breakfasts had very limited
audience. Listening could cost a
listeners life.
But now Coordinator of Infor-
nation Donovan has arranged with
the British Broadcasting System.
to broadcast American counter
propaganda programs.
These are written in French. Ital-
ian, German, though American in
style. tempo and content; are tele-
phoned across the Atlantic to BIS
which rebroadcasts to Europe ov-
er standard wave lengths.
Although these programs have
been under way only short time

HEAVY LOSSES

Two other factors indicate the
Importance of the sinkings on the
Atlantic coast. One is an an
nouncement made by the British
last week that sinkings for the en-
tire Atlantic, including the East
Coast Of the United States, had
been heavier in January than ever
before. The other is the fact that
comprehensive rationing of oil and
gasoline for the East Coast is now
a certainty. In other words, oil
and tanker losses have been very
heavy.
Reason for these losses is easy
to understand. It. requires no Of
fetal explanation. AS everyone
knows, especially the enemy, we
had to rush various kinds of ship
ping to the Pacific to replace the
damage done at Pearl Harbor. AL
so we had large number of war
ships busy conveying vessels across
the North Atlantic.
Hence we have been caught Short
handed on the East Coast z
Note: Most people don't realize
it. but the oil shortage along the
Atlantic could be relieved consid-
erably by a curtailment of tank
car rates on gasoline and fuel oil
Last fall the rail rates were reduced
on crude oil but not on gasoline or
fuel oil.

Wartime Menus
Must Supply
Nutrition
Plan Meals Based
On -Four Victory
Requirements
Bv Edith M. Barber


During the next year American
housewives will, no doubt, be called
upon to make many changes In
their food habits. We are fortunate
in the fact that we are going to
have plenty of food, but not always
enough of certain items, which may
be limited in quantity at various
seasons Of the year. Menus must
continue to supply every necessary
nutrient as the slogan OF the Bu-
reau Of Health and Welfare, Amer
lea Needs Us Strong" holds good.
The National Council Of Women
meeting in convention recently
sponsored a wartime meal planned
under the auspices Of the New YORK
Nutrition Committee. The menu
was planned with four victory re-
quirements in mind.
1. Helping the boys-Using foods
which are plentiful and which are
not needed by the Army and the
Navy.
2. Nutrition-Feeding the family
correctly.
8. Economy-Easing the load on
the family budget.
4. Morale-Proving that cheap
nutritious meal made up OF less
familiar foods can be attractive
and appetizing.
The menu consists Of kale soup,
chilli soybeans, cabbage salad with
wheat sprouts. whole wheat rolls,
whole wheat apple scallop and coffee
or milk. The kale was chosen be-
cause it is particularly high in vita
minis and will be inexpensive dur
ing the winter. The soybeans were
selected because they are high In
protein content, because of their
low price and because they will
probably be widely available by next
year If not before. At the moment
they can be bought in few stores
for to 10 cents a pound.
The wheat sprouts are something
new. They look like tiny spears of
green grass and their source is high
grade wheat seed, which at the mo-
ment must be secured from seeds
men. They are covered with a
damp cloth and allowed to germi-
nate on a wire rack.
I am now in the process of find
ing out whether I have a green
thumb" I will not know for a
week whether the grain is going to
sprout. While most of us will not
take up wheat sprouting as house
hold activity just now we can be
prepared to be able to grow some
of our own vitamin c if the need
arises. These are interesting times
in the food world.
DANISH KALE SOUP.
medium-sized potatoes.
l quart milk.
medium sized sliced onions.
2 tablespoons butter or fortified
margarine.
u teaspoon salt.
Dash pepper.
a pound kale.
Peel potatoes, cook in boiling
salted water until tender: put
through ricer. Meantime scald milk
and onions together in double boiler
for Is minutes. Strain out onions
add hot potatoes and seasonings
Wash kale and remove stems; put
through food chopper, using fine
knife. Add to soup just before
serving. Serve topped with sour
cream If desired. Yield: Six serv-
ings.

Why Grow Old
Question Box
By Josephine Loyman

/. What can I do about round
shoulders?"
Answer: If your shoulders are
quite round you may have lost the
ability to straighten yourself up
without the help of exercises. You
see, when you habitually stand with
your shoulders rounded the muscles
across your back become weakened
and longer while the ones over your
chest become shortened. This Is a
good exercise. Grasp broom handle
with both hands. Hands should
be wider apart than shoulder width.
With the broom handle raise the
arms forward upward over the head.
Bend the elbows and place the
wand behind the shoulders. Stright-
en- elbows and stretch the arms over
the head again. Bring them for
ward downward.
2. please tell me way to lubri
cate an oily skin. 1 have lots of
blackheads and pimples."
Answer: If your skin is oily it
does not need lubricating Watch

blackheads.

question box asking about black
heads and pimples that I will ans
wer them in my column next Mon
day.
3. will lying fiat on my back on
the floor help swayback and i'm
prove posture?"- Blonde.
Answer: Better-lie on your back
but bend your knees and put your
feet fiat on the floor. Then press
all of your back against the floor
Make 1t all touch. Hold for a few
seconds and relax and then repeat.
4. II am only Is, and have
wrinkled neck. How can help this
situation?"
Answer: Watch your posture not
only when standing but when sit
ting. Also, take neck exercises to
fill out the neck and use lubricat-
ing cream daily.

tinting these to match the color
scheme of your own house you will
get an entirely personal" effect.
Combine these colorful sprays with
deep green evergreens or shiny, dark
magnolia leaves. If you like a bit
OF glitter. you might attach tiny
Christmas tree ornaments to the
whited twigs.
Dear Miss Nowell-1 have some
very lovely chintz that I would like
to use for shower curtain and
bathroom draperies. I have noticed
that there now Is process to
waterproof ordinary cotton mate
rials, and would like to know what
this is, as it would be better if the
chintz would shed water. K.G.
AnsWer-As far as I have been
able to find out, the waterproofing is
not available for home use. This
is a process done at the factory
where the material is finished.
Dear Miss Nowell-The wing of
our house is stucco over a wood
foundation. Cracks repeatedly ap-
pear in the walls, and demand con-
slant attention to prevent leakage.
We have cut out the cracks and re-
filled from time to time, but it seems
to be continuous performance. Do
you know of any material which
would prevent cracking? I'D.
Answer-T'he fact that the stucco
is placed on a wood structure which
is continually changing during wet
seasons and dry periods will make
it most difficult for any such mate
rial to remain intact. If your
house is valuable enough you might
do we'll to remove the stucco and
face it with brick. Otherwise, con-
slant lDkeen will he pocaesor,,

walls and ceilings and I think you
will be pleased with the result. Get
a rambling pattern so that it may be
joined at the wall breaks without in
terfering with a too formal pattern.
With the white woodwork to set 1t
off. and so many wall openings, you
will find that paper that is force
full in pattern and color will make
up for lack of furniture and other
decoration.
Dear Miss Nowell-This year, I
understand it is going to be difficult
to get Christmas greens. I Won
der if you have any suggestions for
house decoration which do not ne
cessitate the usual spruce and holly.
J. S.
Answer think the deep green of
spruce and holly is effective to set
off other decorations as we'll as
having a delightful odor which re-
minds us all of Christmas, and
little will go long, long way when
combined with other materials. One
of the most effective rooms saw
last year had delicate branches, seed
pods and large magnolia leaves
which had been sprayed with white
or color. This may be done by mix
ing pan of calsomine and dipping
branches, leaves, pods and stems
into the solution. Then lay them
gently on newspaper to dry. BY
