When cream will not whip, add
the white Of an egg and stand the
bowl for one hour in a vessel of
cold salt water. It will then whip
easily, and the white of egg will
add considerably TO the bulk Of
the cream without affecting the
flavor.

An oven meal is often a fuel
saver if foods are selected which
require the same temperature in
cooking. Although such a meal
necessitates a longer cooking pc
Rod, not only may the whole meal
be cooked at the same time but a
number of foods may also be pre-
pared for meals to follow. It is a
good idea to list such menus in a
notebook and refer to it from time
to time.

Bank Of Monte Carlo

Breaking the bank at Monte
Carlo is not quite such a prodi-
gious feat as it sounds. Each table
for roulette starts play with it's
own individual bank, or reserve of
money. The tables bank, there
fore, is held to be broken when a
player has won the whole of this
reserve sum, together, of course,
with the accumulation of previous
wins by the table from other play
ers, and the game has to be sus-
pended whilst fresh cash is being
brought UP from the vaults.
The last time the bank was
broken at table in Monte Carlos
ino-shortly before this war
the lucky player gained about
$24, 1000.
But without technically "break-
ing the bank" some gamblers
have won very large sums indeed.
Others have lost fortunes.

Sportsmen Asked To Aid Conn. Farmers Harvest Fruit Crops

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 11-An ap- peal to hunters and fishermen of the state to come to the rescue of farmers on whose land they have hunted and fished, by offering their spare time services in harvesting the fruit crop, was made today by William Hart, chairman of the Gov- ernor's Investigating Commission on Fish and Game.
 For years, we have enjoyed the hospitality of many of the farmers of the state," Hart said. we have fished their streams and hunted on their grounds. Good sportsmen like to pay their debts and here is 8 definite way of saying thank you for past favors. I urge the sports men of the state to organize ir small groups of or 5 and to go out on week-ends or on their day oil and help to harvest the apple and peach crops"
 According to Hart, those who are interested should communicate with their local U. s. Employment off1ce notifying them the days of the week they will be available, so that they can, If possible, be assigned to fruit picking in the area where they usually do their hunting and fish, ing.
 Willing to Pay
 While farmers are willing to pay the prevailing rate of wages for this work, Hart pointed out, his appeal was being made to the sportsmen Not on the basis of the money they can make, but on the basis of sportsmanship." Many of the volunteer workers might prefer to take their wages fin kind, he said.
 William G Ennis, director of the U. S. Employment Service for Con- necticut, is backing Hart's appeal, stated today that many of the peach and apple crops throughout the state were now ripening and should be picked within the next few days. "A labor shortage now in harvesting these crops might well result in serious spoilage of fruit crops" he said.
