Kitchen Utensils of Materials
Not on War Essential List

cups ana saucers. The ivoryware
cooks fast, holds the heat, therefore
is economical in use of fuel and
cooks best over a low or moderate
flame. It's reward is quick, even
cooking with a saving Of food values
and flavors
News in skillets is that of dark
blue porcelain enamel mottled with
white. 1t is claimed that this skillet
for direct flame cooking will not
rust, warp or break. 1t is nom
porous and easy to use because II
is not heavy in the hand.
Wartime restrictions In the use OF
materials has not included cast iron
and 1t is not one Of the essentials, y
it is said. Cast-iron cooking uten-
sils were never more important than
now when the inexpensive cuts of
meat are sc widely used; these need
long, slow cooking for tenderizing.
True. cast iron lacks glamour, and
1t is heavy but it does q superb
cooking job, and good cooking is what
counts. When used on the gas range
over flexible top burner with its
many shades Of heat, cast iron is an
ace among utensils; it cooks so we'll
with so little attention and uses so
little fuel. The new-type cast-iron
pots, Dutch ovens and the like are
"pre-seasoned," which means that
after washing them In soapsuds
and wiping dry. they may be used
without further breaking in."

Spice Situation
Not Too Poor
Despite War
Good Many Items,
Imported Before,
N0w Gr0wn Here

Our spice situation at present
seems to be a matter Of concern to
many readers. At the moment we
are assured of enough Of what we
imported from the Orient to last us
for a year or more.
Nutmeg. mace, cinnamon, cloves
were brought into this country and
ground as stocks were needed.
Cloves are more plentiful than
nutmeg, mace and cinnamon. Some
nutmeg and mace come, however
from the West Indies. Use your
cinnamon sparingly, but don't be
tempted to stock up on this or any
other spice, as six months, even in
a covered can, is as long as most
spices retain flavor after they are
ground.
Ginger and allspice come to us
from the West Indies and such
other spices as chilli. bay leaves,
marjoram, anise, sage and pap
rika will be coming from South
America. In our own country we
are growing cayenne pepper and
large quantities Of mustard seed
Both poppy and caraway seeds are
now being grown in the United
States and will be available by fall
Sesame seeds are being used more
largely than they have been by
American bakers
Our supply of vanilla bean Is
running low, as we must depend
upon Mexico for our source. Arti-
fetal vanilla flavorings are improv-
ing and we are going to find a COM
bination of natural and artificial
extracts which probably will be as
satisfactory after our chemists have
finished their experiments as the
real vanilla. We can still have
sayory food. E. M. B.

Since the national nutrition pro-
gram has focused the attention OF
homemakers on food and its proper
preparation. utensils in which to
cook it are appearing in housewares
departments in greater numbers and
a variety of materials not on the
war essential list.
There is no restriction in the use
of native clays for earthernware,
now enjoying renaissance. Per-
fection is notable in the traditional
brown peasant or provincial ware
which Is fired for use directly over
low flame-a point of economy
because the ware has the attribute
Of retaining heat and maintains
active cooking on merest points Of
flame. It also saves food nutriments
and builds UP flavor.
Earthernware will give long serv-
ice If 1t is tempered before use, by
placing it in deep-water bath,
bringing the water to a boil, and
after five minutes, turning of the
burner and allowing the ware to
cool in the water. To prevent crack
ing Of the interior glaze, the ware
should always contain some food
before it is put over a burner: and
like glass, the ware when hot should
not be subjected to drastic change
of temperature, such as cold water
for soaking. Given reasonable care,
earthenware will last for years.
Luscious ivory colored pottery
cooking utensils designed along
modern lines are among the newest
showings. This ware has a highly
glazed satin finish-a fact which
is said to make it easy to clean.
Skillets, stewpans, double boilers,
casseroles and other oven dishes are
designed for serving, too-to match
up with tableware such as plates,

Special Base For
Refrigerator
Ice Cream
Condensed Milk or
M1rshmaU0ws
Satisfactory

A decade or 50 ago when auto
matte refrigerators were beginning
to come into their own many at
tempts were made to make ice
cream in the trays of the freezing
compartment and many were the
disappointments.
It Is impossible to use the stand
ard ice cream recipe as this must
be turned to produce q smooth prod
uct. Nowadays there are very good
foundations for desserts of this sort
which may be purchased and COM
bined with whipped cream. One
stirring Is generally all that Is nee
essary during. the freezing. Sweet
ened condensed milk also makes q
good base for refrigerator ice cream;
no granulated sugar necessary.
A manufacturer Of q freezing mix
has many suggestions for varying
recipes. One Of these is to stir in
coarsely chopped semi-sweet choc-
olate after the mixture has been
allowed to stand half an hour In
the freezing tray. Peanut brittle,
orange marmalade and dried apri.
cots are other suggested additions.
Any of these might be added to the
sweetened condensed milk mixture.
Marshmallows, which Of course
contain gelatin, provide another
base for frozen dessert which is a
cross between ice cream and mousse.
These may be combined with milk,
coffee or crushed fruit, stirred over
hot water until the mixture is
smooth. The mixture is then cooled
and whipped cream Is folded into 1t.

Cleaning Leather

Leather never should be cleaned
with gasoline. naphtha or any hy-
dro-carbon solution. They dissolve
and remove all the essential fats
in the leather, leaving it dry and
harsh.

Members Told to Ignore
Lines as War Measure
Will Poss Picket Lines Only on
Orders of International Union

Let me say now, unless the
International Union orders you
not TO go through picket lines,
that clause must be set aside dur
ing the period of the war.
Even in nondefenSe indus
tries every means within your
power should be used before you
stop work. But the so-called
picket line, since the passage of
the Wagner Act, in many in
stances can be honestly called
an organizing racket that isn't
founded on legitimate trade UNI
ioniSm.
THE Transfers are consider
ed just plain suckers by many
of those phoney organizers who
get so cents per head for new
members, and the Transfers do
their dirty work for them by
being so weak as to refuse to
observe their own laws and
thereby recognize the lOafers'
professional picket line. AS us,

SHIP PRODUCTION
RACES U-BOATS

AS a matter of fact, we alone
have half again the steel ca
pacity of Germany (including
Poland and CzechoslOvakia) plus
Japan and Italy, plus France
and Belgium, plus the minor
sources which Hitler controls by
coercion or conquest. We cant
get maximum use Of our steel
plant because we are short of
scrap. But there it is.
Although the rate Of sinkingS
by Nazi subs remains high, our
shipyards are racing them with
desperate speed. Day after day
stories appear Of marvellous new
records made in launching ships
ahead of schedule. One eastern
plant is approaching the three

go carriers. A southern Shipyard
has a contract on which Wash

roll.
