Gunpowder
Made From
Waste Fats
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

IN SPITE of the fact that It
appears we're TO have some
meatless days, it's anticipated
that more fat-bearing meats will
be eaten. Therefore many women
are asking whether or not
they're unpatriotic II they use
some of these fats for cooking.
Word from the Office of War
Information comes to this effect.
Contrary to popular belief, Uncle
Sam is not asking women to
give up any of the kitchen fats
and greases which they ordi-
narily put to good and economi-
cal use. Only those which are
usually wasted are being re-
quested.
Still Use Fats
Therefore grsvies can still be
made from the well Drowned
fat; eggs can still have the ex-
ira Zest that comes of scram-
bling in bacon fat and the
wheat cake, griddle may be
creased with sausage meat drip
pings.
The government Is not hoping
to salvage all OF the fats which
they figure homemakers waste.
Itls been estimated that nearly
two billion pounds are tossed
out OF the nations kitchens
every year.
Uncle Sam Is going to be
happy il only q quarter of that
amount, 500, 000, 900 pounds, can
be saved for the making OF
glycerine and for other wartime
use.
Produce Gunpowder
When an anti-aircraft gun
fires its explosives, some Amer
lean homemaker who saved
waste kitchen fats and greases
will figure in the fighting. Only
two pounds of waste Kitchen
fats are sufficient to fire five
anti-aircraft shells.
If every woman in America
saves as little as four ounces of
kitchen fats a week, this will
produce two and half million
pounds of gunpowder.
Meat experts are of the opin-
ion that half the fat content of
beef and veal, four-fifths that of
mutton and lamb. three-fifths
that of pork and one-quarter
that of poultry are wasted in
the kitchen.
Gil co IkOn

Call co. 1900

Disposing OF the fats Is Just
as important a Job as saving.
They can be converted into
glycerine for explosives only if
they are delivered TO their
proper destination.
They may be taken to your
meat dealer each time you get
one pound or more. He's doing
his part. He'll pay you for
them and send them on their
way TO war.
If you are willing to donate
these fats call the Girl Scout
Headquarters, Columbia 1900.
One of the Scouts in your neigh
borhood will call for any amount
from one pound up at your con-
venience.
You may also make arrange
ments with them for a regular
pickup every two or three
weeks.
What TO Save
The following process for saw
ing is recommended. Save all
liquid waste kitchen fats, after
all cooking good has been OBJ
tanned from them F.. used fry
ing fats. bacon grease, meat
drippings.
Strain them into a clean. wide
top can, not a glass or paper
container Keep them in the
refrigerator or cool place.

Instead of answering. he handed
her the paper. His stubby, work
stained fingers pointed to story
on the folded page. Read this.
Read it out loud"
She caught her breath as she
saw the headline. Then she began
to read, slowly at first; then more
rapidly, breathlessly:
About $50 PM. yesterday the
trussed and mutilated body of an
unidentified man was found lying
in a vacant lot in the Greenpoint
section of Brooklyn A pedestrian
taking short cut through the lot
discovered the body. He notified
the police, and shortly afterward
two patrol cars arrived on the
scene, to be followed by detectives
of the homicide squad.
The dead man had been shot
through the back of the head. The
body also bore multiple knife
wounds. The arms and legs were
bound with rope in a manner that
Immediately suggested other SINH
lar crimes committed in this neigh
borhood lately. The detectives
began a careful search for clues.
They found them. Then they pro-
ceeded to make roundup of vari-
GUS suspects, chiefly members of
the infamous Waterfront Gang.
"Jest before midnight they ar
rested in his hotel room a notori-
GUS underworld character known
as Jake (The Cent? Mosser. He
was charged with murder and held
without bail for arraignment to-
morrow. Mosser has a long reoe%1
of arrests, but he has never been
convicted of anything more seri-
Gus than a misdemeanor.
This time, according to the
police. Mosser will go to the chair.
The case against him is based on
a curious bit of evidence which,
the police allege. is irrefutable.
This evidence consists of certain
footprints found at the scene of the
crime. The heel-marks of these
prints left the distinct impression
of a cross, roughly corresponding
to the letter * on the ground.
Later, in searching Mosser's
room. the detectives discovered
several pairs of the gangster's
shoes, each marked with an *
formed by nails driven into the
bottom of the heels. There was no
explanation for these strange
markings, but the police we're sat
isfed, in view of their successful
nights work, to leave that part
of the case a mystery"
nITTY finished reading The
paper fiuttered from her hands to
the floor. She looked at her father
and saw the light in his eyes.

went out of the shop with his
package under his arm.
Sam turned, to see Kitty STUN
bling toward him along the work
ing aisle behind the counter. He
opened his arms and she came into
them, clinging to him, sobbing.
Papa, we've got to 60 away!
We've got to, we've got to!"

"Oh, Cod" moaned Kitty.
Sam took the girls chin in his

till her eyes were staring straight
into his. He said calmly: "Wher-
ever we went we would find wick

trying to run away from it. There

part of the campaign is organized,
he reiterated that the 40 hours
should remain the basis of the

Miss Perkins told the naval

of war workers were working on
