There s No Baloney' About
Tempting Bologna Nolludays

Whether you say 'baloney' or the
more proper bologna" we're talking
about the same thing so long as it S
food that's in question. Bologna is
about the most familiar sausage in
this country. People like its mild
favor, its tender juicy qualities. its
universal availability and beyond
everything else its modest cost.
You can do some pretty fancy
tricks with this good old favorite
TOO, from cunning little appetizer
rolls to substantial hot dishes to
feed the hungriest family of grow
ing children.
Bologna usually comes In a large
aausage, stuffed into beef castings
which means that slices from it will
be about to inches in diameter
One usually buys it sliced on the
butchers slicing machine, which
gives even, thin slices, but many
housewives have learned the ad-
vantage of buying to 4 pound:
in one piece, cutting slices from
It as needed. or cutting it into
cubes or shreds for casserole dishes
or salads. Leftover slices, instead
of being allowed to dry and curl
should be ground and used for sand
Wich filters.
Fortunately, the favor of bologna
Is mild enough so that it can be
used in practically any OF your IA
vorite combinations 1t combines

a familiar standby OF store counters
With shortage of tin, Gamers are
limited to certain foods. Dried beans,
for example. which can be stored

1t may seem strange 10 seasoned
housewives that our younger gen.
Grafton knows so little about baking
beans at home. On the other hand,
it seems strange TO the younger ones
that there are so many baked-bean
recipes+so much disagreement
among the experts rs to what con-
stitutes the perfect dish.
With a good standard recipe. you
can vary the dish according to your

best desserts / know is the combi-
nation of crushed strawberries and

be added gradually, as it dissolves

They are not suitable for baking

that needs high, dry, quick heat.
Each cook who uses a homemade
flreless cooker will have to work out
through experiment the cooking
time for each of her own recipes. AL
ways be sure the food is boiling be-
fore it goes into the cooker. You'll
find that you'll need less liquid in
making dishes in the cooker than
you do in those made atop the stove
because there isn't so much evapo-
ration. II you open the cooker be-
fore the food is completely cooked,
reheat the food to boiling before you
put it back again.
Soapstone and concrete blocks will
maintain heat of boiling about two
to four hours, depending on their size
A stone Is hot enough to put in the
cooker when pinch OF -four
sprinkled evenly on the top browns
in IS seconds.
Be extremely careful when you
use the flreless cooker-make sure
that you don't leave food in the
cooker after it gets below the sim
mering point. In fact, food should
come out Of the cooker piping hot
There are a number of dishes that
can become sources of dangerous
food poisoning If they are left long
at lukewarm temperatures.
Fireless cookers are not necessarily
fuel savers. Fuel is saved if you
heat the blocks and food on a coal
or wood range If you have to use
gas or electricity it's almost as chea p
to cook the food on the stove.

For sandwich filings simply grind

One favorite trick with bologna is
to form it into little cups and fill
the cups either with baked bean
salad, potato salad or cabbage slaw.
Set these cups around on a large

attractive meat service.

with a smaller can to f1t inside. Be

top of the inside can is a thick
cushion stuffed with insulating ma
terial Food is cooked in pans with
tight fitting lids set inside the
smaller can. Pre-heated blocks of
soapstone or concrete provide the
heat for cooking. These go under
and above the pans of food.
Many inexpensive main dishes and
certain desserts call for long slow
cooking" Many a homemaker, busi-
er than ever these days, hasn't the
time to supervise food on the stove
for long cooking periods. But, she
can put such food in a properly
made fireless cooker, come home in
the evening from the factory or
farm and have the main part of the
meal ready TO eat This supple
mented with fresh vegetables and
other foods that may be quickly
cooked will provide a nourishing
meal ready in short time.
Canteen workers can use fireless
cookers to keep food warm, when it
is cooked in one place and served in
another Less often, they may want
to use it for the actual cooking.
Fireless cookers are best suited
TO dishes that need long slow cook

Singapore's Surrender

Burma Road

From Jap Danger
By PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The
w Chinese were not born
yesterday. They have been
burning up the Burma Road the
last two weeks with doubled
traffic TO sneak all their lease
lend goods off the wharves at
Rangoon. and move these up
behind Lashio, beyond reach
of the oncoming Japs.
They did not have enough
trucks 10 bring all the material
up as far as Chungking in time.
so they rallied every facility at
the Burma end of the road and
ran the goods up 10 caches in
the mountains of their Yunnan
province. The wharves are
fairly well cleaned up now.
Loss Of the Burma Road
will therefore not be imme-
diately disastrous 10 the Chinese
cause. II will not force Chang
Kai-Shek into separate peace.
Even the long range effects
are predetermined Most Of the
lca>e-Icnd goods going up the
Burma Road has been small
arms. ammunition. tools, parts
and such material as could he

still be flown IN from India, VIA
