WE THE WOMEN - Let Your Child Do His Bit; It's Good War Psychology

that fences are kept in repair and that no windows get mysteriously broken or the property otherwise damaged by vandalism.
 Parents of those kids won't have to worry about the war turning them into uncomfortable hoodlums They have accepted the responsi- bility for an important job. They are doing something to repay the men who are risking their lives for them.
 KIDS CAN REALLY HELP
 With a little leadership in the right direction kids all over the country could take on respon- sible jobs, directly tied up with the war. There are many things they could do that would not only bene- fit them but would be real serv- ice to their communities. If you doubt it, think of what a splendid job the Boy Scouts did in collect ing scrap.
 Let's put the kids to work help ing to win the war instead of sit- ting around discussing all the dam- aging effects the war might have on them. Parents ought to be past the period of theorizing now, and ready for some practical solutions to the problem of children in war time.

Charles H. Goren of Philadelphia, who with Mrs. A. M. Sobel has won a string of championship titles this year, is known as one of the most astute defensive players. He has won many top scores by his ability to diagnose the bidding and pick the killing" opening lead. Goren has published & book on the opening lead. but 1t takes more than book learning to make the inference that Goren did in today's hand.
 From his own heart length, Goren read North's cue bid in hearts to show heart void. Although North had later gone to slam, he had not made a jump takeout of the open ing spade bid. Therefore he prob- ably did not have excessive length, strength in the black suits. He ap- parently needed the diamond bid to become SO ambitious. The inference was then that he held two or three diamonds, in wcich case the best chance to defeat the contract was to try to give East diamond ruff. And of course that Is just what hap

was. If you have heard our broad casts, you know that this stufiing was invented by Ken's father when he was chef for the Governor of Egypt. The Governor of Egypt liked it and so do we. With thanks to Ken's father, we give you the recipe for super stuffing.
 Epicurean Turkey Stufiing
 Chop two medium sized onions and two cloves of garlic, cut fine. Put them in a little butter or turkey fat and don't cook them until they are brown--just until they are tender. Add a pound of sausage meat and fry only until it falls apart; then stop.
 Have some bread that has been soaked in bouillon stock, then squeezed dry again, ready. Add . pinch of poultry dressing, salt and pepper. and pour the onions and sausage, fat and all, all over the bread, which you've broken up into mushy little hunks. If you can get French bread, so much the better. Let the mixture cool, add three beaten eggs, and mix thoroughly.
 If you can get chestnuts, boil them for about an hour, cut them in fours and add 8 couple of cup fuls to the sausage meat.
 In these days of sugar ratioring, so many people are feeling lone some for their good chocolate des- serts. Everybody loves chocolate, we think, especially the children. Chocolate is a good energy food too, so that we really ought to use more of it.
 We have chocolate cooky recipe that calls for just one cup of con- fectioner's sugar. That isn't too bad, is it? You've all heard of things that melt in your mouth; these cookies really do. They are the most delicate, frivolous things you ever ate. You'd better lock up the cooky jar though, or the chil- dren will have them all finished before the grown-ups get a chance at them!
 CnOeUtatG GOOkleS
 Melt a bar of semi.sweet choco- late in a double boiler; and no cheating now! Don't nibble any of it away or let the children beg . bite from you; you need a whole bar of the chocolate. And while it is melting, beat three egg whites as stiff as you would for a rner- ingue and beat in one cup of con- fectioners's sugar. Now, pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate over . scantish cup of crushed saltines-- really crushed, you know; they must be crushed as fine as possible "a cup of them; fold in the sweet ened, stifliy beaten egg whites, drop by teaspoonfuls on buttered cooky shetland bake them just 6 min. utes in a 375 degree oven.
 These cookies simply CAN'T fail and they're the most light, tender little bits of chocolaty succulence you ever popped into . watering mouth.

WOMAN,.S REALM :
GlOWing Yourself

Material regulated frocks, slinnly nodded silhouettes, trim-fitting uni- forms, make the smart woman even more figure conscious than when gowns and such could be cleverly draped to conceal a bulge here or there, where no bulge should be- comingly be.
 A full-length mirror, an unbiased eye, and a tape measure are start ing requisites for figure stock-tak- ing. If your proportions are fairly true, but slightly heavy for height and build, then ordinary brisk set- ting-up exercises, some active out door sport, and a sincerely judicious eye on the diet, should whittle you down to form in good time. But the woman who does not need general weight-reducing- just smoothing out a bulge-needs spe- cial corrective exercises. Routines that are simple, rhythmic, suit best. For to be effective, they must be done regularly, correctly, per- sistently.
 EUI ulSthktSCb AOS stOV 4o1 6C AAAkA0, the most common figure fault, this is tested routine: Lie flat on the floor, with arms straight down at sides. Pull the knees up to the chest, without aid or assistance from the arms, legs back to relaxed position. And repeat. The real pull here is in the hips and waistline.
 And for slimming the waistline, good twister is effective. Sit on the floor with legs wide apart and arms stretched out straight from shoulders. Reach down and touch left toe with right fingertips; then right toe with left fingers. Touch each foot with fingers five times.
 Another for the waistline: Stand erect, fingertips touching at chest, arms horizontal from the shoul- der, elbows cut. Twist the torso to the right as far as possible, then to the left. Repeat 10 times. Feel the slinining pull at the waistline.

Today we have recipes to cover the needs of a whole meal. We decided that we ought to do more about our entrees. Most of us simply are not getting the cuts and varieties of meats that we used to get and cook so easily and simply. So we have been turning to find ing deiectable ways to cook those meats that we cGn get.
 Now tripe is not on the restricted list of meats; you can get all the sripe you want and the French are particular tripe eplcures. They have all sorts of tricks with it and the results are delicious. We shall start out by giving you a simple tripe recipe; but one so good. that your tripe connoisseur will get a gleam in his eyes when you tell hin he is going to have rolled tripe for dinner.
 Rolled Tripe
 When you go to the market to buy your pound and half of fresh tripe, buy some salt pork because you'll need some of that for this Gourmet's dish.
 Thoroughly gash the trips and scald it. Then be sure and drain 1t and cut it in strips 8 by inches and sprinkle it with salt and pep per. Put strip of salt pork on each strip of tripe. Then roll it up and put a toothpick in to fasten the roll. Put all the rolls in a pan and surround and cover with diced vegetables--any kind of vegetables you like and have in the house. Be sure and almost cover with boiling water and simmer until tender on top of the stove or even in the oven. Here is a dish that calls for mashed potatoes and tomato sauce. Now to go with this succulent tripe dinner for an additional vegetable, why don't you serve Petits Pois Bonne Femme? This is an epicure's way to serve green peas.
 Petits POis B0nne Femme Fry in butter two cups of small onions-very small onions, with a quarter of a pound of diced bacon. The butter is for flavor SO you will judge the amount you want to spare out of your butter budget.
 Remove the onions and bacon and make a white sauce with the butter and bacon fat-a thin white sauce. Moisten with a half cup of soup stock or bouillon cube stock : put back your onions and bacon and boil. Now put in a quart of peas in the sauce with a little bit of parsley and cook until you have reduced the sauce in half.
 You can cut this recipe in two if your family is four or less; this is a lot of peas; but this is a good warm-up vegetable to use a day or two later.
 Looking ahead to Christmas, bow are you going to stuff your chicken or turkey? We think we have the .nD-ssns turkey stufiing that ever
