WASTE IS AN Enemy at any
w time. but with the whole coun-
! try making an about effort to pro-
/ duce enough needed commodities
This year for ourselves and for
shipment to our Allies, waste is
inexcusable. Fats and oils come in
the category of essential materials
and waste of them becomes minor
treason. There are a number Of
ways to waste fat, but look first
for the most obvious, the waste
fully big pats of butter, with lit
tie dabs left on the dinner plate.
Every member Of the family can
cooperate by taking just what he
needs.
POURING BACON DRIPPINGS
or grease down the sink, for in
stance, is wasteful in addition to
being a plumbing nuisance. Left
over fat is wasted if u is stored
improperly. It's also wasted if it's
put into products that are so poor
ly or carelessly made they go un-
eaten. Another wasteful prac-
tice is 80 serve too frequently
foods that need lot of fat, such
as pastries, doughnuts, croquettes,
and other deep far fried or sauted
foods. Besides, food will sometimes
cook just as well in shallow fat
as in deep fat, Enough they may
not keep shape so nicely.
INSTEAD OF FRENCH FRIES,
why don't you cook your potatoes
the home fried way? That's a
small amount of fat in the bottom
of the skillet with a cover on 10
steam them done. Fried foods are
much more difficult to digest any
way Many of the foods that are
commonly fried in deep fat can be
cooked in other ways. Take sal
mon croquettes. TIE same mixture
may be put into baking dish and
popped into the oven.
THERE ARE A NUMBER of
other foods besides the all fat pro-
ducts that supply us with fat nuts,
chocolate, egg yolk, nut buffers,
olives, and so forth. The vitamin
reinforced margarines can fill a
hole in your budget, too. If you do
not wish to eliminate butter en-
tirely from your diet, use the mar
garines for cooking and hut.er for
eating. / know a good cook who de-
clares that foods do not absorb
margarine the way they take up
butter for seasoning, and there
fore she uses butter for cooking
and margarine for seasoning. Do
as you please, but if you had not
used butter substitutes due to men,
tai prejudices, now is as good
time to overcome your dislikes as
later.
In 1910, nearly 10 billion pounds
of fats and oils we're used in this
country, Six and a half Of these
10 billion pounds were eaten, 2 bill
lion pounds were made into soap,
billion went into paints and var.

CRYSTAL Gazing on Boxing

CRYSTAL Gazing on Boxing ..
" Much has been written and
much more has yet TO bye put down
in black and white concerning Joe
Louis undoubtedly the greatest
fighter inside the squared circle
that the world has known, bar
none. However, something in this
column may strike its readers as
rather absorb and more the brain
child of fanatic than o. a sane
human being, But, risking what
little reputation that remains his,
We scribe herewith put down in
molten metal The sum ,otal or
emil total", which ever the case
might be, OF his Crystal Gaz-
ing on Boxing" (Only time can
tell whether we scribe was suffer-
ing from a("night after') or real
ly was in his right mind.
Louis, since volunteering for
army service, shortly after his
fight with Billy Conn, has lived
up to his avowed determination to
better relation between the two
races. He has, by sheer PERSONAL
i.y and unselfishness been instru-
mental in the recent lowering of
restriction in the numerous branch
es Of the army and navy hitherto
closed to Negroes. Whether or
not his campaign of fighting for
army and navy Relief funds was
planned is lard to say; however,
We scribe, is Of the opinion that
Louis actions were planned, with
TWO results in mind. One was to
break down racial restriction in
the armed service; for neither the
army or navy could allow a mere
pugilist and a black one at that
to be bigger than their petty pre-
JUDGES made them small; the 9TH
er was s. But, is Louis attempt
ing to get even for something
else Now, since such writer's
as Hype, Igoe indulge in wild and
woody fantasa with IMMUNITY, we
scribe may as well pull an Orson
Welles Of his own.
The three "J's" as Louis, Rox-
borough and Black are termed,
have formed one of the smoothest
functioning groups in boxing that
the ring has seen in many a year.
Seldom has airy fighter been free
of managerial trouble as is Louis.
His hackers, who are all Negroes
which is more rare in the beak
busting game, have never since
Louis hit the big time had any
serious trouble among themselves.
Uninterrupted, they would prob
ably dominate the fight game
even after Louis has passed his
prime; what with stable of pro-
missing young Negro fighters;
their experience and money. Then
what could breakup this "Black
Dynasty Of Boxing?"
Could it be, by any chance, that

quick whir, then hum. Thing;
would be all right now, the ex.
haust fan would suck the air out
of The basement and there would
be no scent.
He shut the trunk and pushed il
into a corner. In the morning he
would take it to the station. He
looked around to see if he had left
anything that would betray him
he saw nothing.
He went out of the back door; q
few fine flakes of snow were
floating down. 1t had grown cold
er, The car was still in the drive
way. Yes; he would leave it there.
Jan and Mary were sitting in
the car, kissing. They said, Good
night, Bigger. And he said, Good
night And he touched his
hand to his cap
As he passed tie car he saw the
door was still open. Mary's purse
was on the floor. He took it and
closed the door. Nav! Leave ii
open; he opened it and went OF

He tucked the purse under his
arm and walked. What would hap

He stopped at a street corner and
looked into the purse There was
a .hick roll of bills; tens and twen-

He was tired and sleepy,
He hurried home and ran UP the

nishes, ETC., while a half billion
pounds went for industrial pur-
poses. That looks like great deal
Of grease, and so it is, but don't
forget that it must be distributed
to great many more people than
usual.
DON'T SPOIL FATS AND
FOODS cooked in fats with too
much heat. The unpleasant odor Of
smoking fat is warning that the
fat is breaking down chemically.
Food cooked in smoking fat will be
harder to digest. And once fat
reaches the smoking point it will
get rancid more quickly when you
save it to use again. Every time a
fat is heated, it's smoking point
gets lower. So you'll want to watch
the fat more closely the second
time than the first.
CLARIFYING FAT WILL free
it from some Objectionable odors,
tastes, or colors in most cases.
Frying a few pieces of white po-
tao in the fat will aid in Clarity
ing it. Then if you nave a can of
solid fat that is clean but looks a
little cloudy, melt it down with an
equal amount of water. Heat for
short time at a moderate tenn
perature with occasional stirring.
Let the mixture cool, remove the
layer Of fat, and scrape off any
bits of other material which may
cling to the underside. Store fats
in a closely covered container, in
a dark, cool place, and away from
strong favored foods.

BY Emory o. Jackson


SNS's Lucius Jones, the nations
most scientific, or statistical sport
writer, has brought to light a ten
dency to de-race or deNegro Joe
Louis, or Private Barrow.
Scribe Jones, who witnessed the
souawk count k. o. of Abe ST.
mon by Joe, saw in the words OF
Under Secretary Patterson, who
dubbed the Brown Bomber "a ere
dit to his profession, to the Army,
and to the Army" a tendency to
unidentify Louis with the race.
He contrasted that with a tribute
paid Henry Armstrong, "a credit
to his profession, to his country
and to his RACE
To Mr.. Jones "Joc Louis has
gone farther and on bigger scale
than the late Tiger (of Atlsnta)
Flowers in stalking claim to the
designation of "whitest Black man
in the Ring"
The authoritative SNS sports
editor noted that "The white mans
particular psychology, today. is t
veer just as far away from The
race angle in the case of Joe
Louis as it bent towards the race
angle, yesterday, in the case Of
Jack Johnson"
On the point of Jack Johnson
Mr.. Jones that without exception
the white press "huilt a stront
case in their determination e
establish Johnson's vices as typi
cal Of the Negro race"
