It is important during wartime
to teach young daughters to take
part in the family's food prepara-
ton. Informal Sunday night sup
per parties give mothers good
opportunity.
Ida Bailey Allen, well-known
food authority, tells a story in
her new book, Successful Enter
tanning" which might serve as a
text for the occasion: A little
hostess, aged 10, with a slim purse,
invites her friends to a hamburger
supper. Her mothers standing
irordng board covered with
bright oilcloth and equipped with
electric grill and toaster served
as q counter from which she and
her current best beau dispensed
the hamburgers. On an adjoining
table we're individual wooden
bowls (from the five-and-ten) Of
cucumber and- tomato said inlet
tuce nests. Cider and individual
pies added the final touch TO a
party that was talked about for
weeks.
Mrs. Allen gives q novel recipe
for q graham cracker pie:
CRAHAM.CRACKER PIE
(ServeS 81
One and one-half cups graham
cracker crumbs, 1-2 cup granulated
sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1-2
teaspoon nutmeg, Ia teaspoon salt,
2 tablespoons sweet butter, ] egg
white, Bavarian cream.
Measure and blend dry ingre-
dents. Cut in butter until uni
formly distributed; take out about
q fourth Of the mixture TO use
later for sprinkling over top Of
pie. Beat egg white slightly Gust
enough to break 1t up and be
slightly frothy) and add to re-
mainder of graham cracker mix
ture. Blend with crumbs, but
handle as little as possible. The
finished product should resemble
fine sand.
Rub pie pan with butter and
line with the mixture about one
quarter to one-half inch thick.
Bake five minutes at $50 degrees F.
and cool. Fill with Bavarian cream.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs
over top and chill.

AbbeviNe Raid
Refutes SIurs
At Flying Forts

United Nations raid on the
French coast a highly profitable
venture, were extremely interested
today in the role that was played
by the United States Army's Fly
ing FortreSses.
Their part was an interesting
sideshow TO the main action.
During the raid at Dieppe, %
OF the huge bombers raided an
airdrome at nearby Abbeville. 1t
was the second action in which
Flying F'ortresses had participated
this week. Some raided Rouen
railroad yards Monday night.
NOT ONE LOST
What impressed the aviation
experts most was the fact that in
both raids the Flying FortresseS
suffered no losses.
Two raids do not prove the rule,
they said, but that average will
not have 10 be maintained long
until the advantages Of high-level
precision attacks, such as the Fly
ing FortresSeS can carry out, will
become apparent.
The subject is particularly in
teresting at the moment because
of the suggestion by the British
press last weekend that the big
American bomberS were not so
suited for night bombing over
Germany as the big four-motored
British bombers.
Experts here admit that the
British bomberS. carrying UP 10
eight tons of bombs, could Guido
on night raids the American
bombers, whose limit is something
more than three tons.
But whether the high flying
Fortresses, carrying out precision
kattacks in daylight. cannot score
ESQ effectively with their lighter
bomb loads as the bigger British
bombers, operating at night when
such accuracy is far moro difficult
10 obtain, is still a moot question.
losses British Night raids
have ranged from 3 10 ; per cent
of planes employed British night
raiders fly in al levels where they
are vulnerable 10 anti-aircraft fire
as well as German night fighters.
TESTS METHOD
The raid on Dieppe was APP
parently a laboratory for another
new type of warfare amphitJious.
mechanical forces.
Keen interest was manifest IN
the fact that American General
Grant tanks -M-3's-were used in
the raid They are substantial
fighting machines weighing around
% tons and armed with 75-mm.
guns.
Their employment indicates that
the British or Americans have
developed tank carrying craft
capable Of landing these monsters
on the beaches Of the northern
European coast.
In the daily range OF mech

BOMBING RAID IS
 CALLED SUCCESS
Worcester Dropped 800 Flour Bag Bombs on
 Nearby Communities

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 24.-(UP)- Civilian officials today expressed satisfaction with the results of a test bombing raid on three nearby communities in one of the largest drills of its kind in the east.
 Approximately 700 persons were evacuated from the Grafton Hill section of Worcester late yesterday shortly before civil air patrol planes shoWered the neighborhood with 800 flour bag bombs" in half hour attack. It was the first mass evacu- ation in Massachusetts.
 To add to the drills reality, scores of persons, including Mayor William A. Bennett of Worcester, were class flied as casualties" after make believe incendiary, gas and high explosie bombs were dropped. Eight ambulances, 50 registered nurses and 150 first-aid trainees attended to the killed" and wounded"
 Besides the Grafton Hill attack, the aircraft raided nearby Auburn and Holden. Only one incident mar red the removal of residents to schoolhouse afraid shelters. Frank Trippe, 26-year-old Worcester War den, was attacked and beaten by a group of young men for whom police are still searching. Trippe sustained a broken nose and head injuries.

GAS RAT|ONING
 DRAWS PROTEST
ButterfieId Employees Start Movement to Make Pres=
 ent Plan Nationwide

Naugatuck, Aug. 24-A movement has been started among employees of T. F. Butterfield, Inc, to urge gasoline rationing throughout the entire nation. Every employe of the company has signed a letter to the President asking that rationing be placed on a nationwide basis. An effort is being made to have employees of other plants here send similar letters.
 T. F. Butterfield, president of the company, said that nationwide ra- tioning of gasoline and fuel oil may prevent considerable suffering and help many people in the eastern states. Letters will be sent to Cong. William K. Fitzgerald, who is spon- soring a motion of nationwide ra- tioning, and copies will be sent to the President. These letters are: President Roosevelt,
 White House,
 Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir:
 q, the undersigned prote s t against the IT Eastern seaboard states being penalized for the fuel shortage for the whole nation, and feel that it is your duty as our leader to see to it that the entire nation shares this burden equally and is rationed on gasaline and fuel oil.
 T feel that this should be done at once and not wait until after the election in November as then it will be too late"
