A PERFECT CAST

In casting camelhas at the
cast. we're not quite certain where
to begin they're all so excellent.
Dennis King fills the role of the
bewlldercd novelist. with flip
pant distraction which is an
achievement IN subtlety.
Annabella is truly a haunting
ghost as the sprite-wifc who gives
her living rival a domestic turn or
two. Her elfn-like grace. slight
French accent and piquant charm
are understandable. She is so So
phlSucated and ingenious at the
same time.

SHORTER MEAT RATIONs

Not long ago the Secretary of

Gently. Housewives In this area can
do as much to help this situation
as the Government can. Other foods
that supply protein. such as cheese
and eggs may be served instead of
beef and pork
Beans aren't an exact substitute
for meat, but they make a nourish
ing dish and there are plenty OF
beans. Meat goes farther If 1t Is
cooked with moderate heat and &C
cording to cut and tenderness.
Another idea is to make what
meat Is used go farther by stretch
ing it with sauce, like cream sauce.
tomato sauce or brown sauce. 1t
may be stretched by. adding vege-
tables or by combining with bread
crumbs. rice, spaghetti, biscuit or
pie crust and potato.
Housewives will want to expert
ment with stretching. It's an art
worth knowing in wartime.

Washington Citizens Supporting
War Effort In All Our Program

OLYMPIA, Sept. 16--If there are
yet in the United States people who
are not in the war one hundred per
cent they are not residents of the
State of Washington
We are told that the percentage
of our population who are actually
engaged in the munitions business,
including the manufacturing Of the
tools of war, lumber and other wood
products. the production of food and
minerals for our fighting forces is
much greater than most states and
perhaps not exceeded by any.
Location of the State of Wash
ington, being nearer Japan than any
other part of continental United
States causes it's people to realize
that we are more likely to expert
ence invasion. or at least bombing
raids, than any other state, and this
may have its effect upon our citf-
zens. Evidences of the cooperation
of the people in every community
are to be found in the columns of
the local papers.

War Production Board restrictions
of the styles and colors of shoes will
not show up in Mrs. America s pur-
chases until the 1943 spring line
goes Oh the market. And even then
there will be enough style variety
and staple footwear. The order linn
its the colors for footwear to six and
novelty styles are out. But there is
no restrictions of new styles as long
as they use materials other than
leather or composition sOles. For the
object is to insure plenty of sole
leather for military forces and our
Allies and essential civilian needs. 1t
will mean fewer pairs OF shoes
standing on your shelves waiting for
occasional use. The Government is
in favor of your buying only the
shoes which are needed.
And on the subject Of footwear.
here arc some tips for storing sum-
mer shoes. Give your shoes a thor
ough cleaning before they're put a
way 1t is suggested that footwear
boxes or shoe cabinets for protection
from dust At the same time be care
full that shoes are kept in dry
place, preferably one that isn't apt
to get over warm. Don't leave a re-
pair job until you take them out "a
gain next summer It's best to have
all repair work done now, so they'll
be ready when wanted
put on a nationwide scale, Mrs.
America is urged to promote volun-
teer rationing in the use of the

urges you to adopt for your tenn
porary self-rationing the same mile
age schedule followed in the IL East

rationing. Most drivers in these stat
es have "a stickers limiting them
to 24O miles of driving per month.
of which about 90 miles would be

will last longer.
