County Employees Mad
OUer Making Up Time Off

Wayne County, Saturday. had
about $500 very mad employees,
sluggishly performing their duties
and gripping like army rockies.
They were bitter because Satur-
day was supposed to be an off-day,
but County Auditor James d.
Friel compelled them to work a
half day TO compensate for the
fact that the building was closed
Armistice Day.
FrieIs contention was that, in

asmuch as county employees now
have a five-day week. they must
work five days. He said they will
be forced to work an extra day
to make up for Christmas, New
Years and all other holidays.
Even on five-day week,
county employees work only IS
hours" Friel said. "They are
on duty only seven hours q day.
A holiday midweek would cut
their hours to 2S."

War Workers
Warned Against
loo Much Noise
If They Don't Let Others
Sleep They May Be
Evicted, Court Warns

War workers who have been
complaining they are unable TO
sleep because of the noise Of neigh
bors had better cut down on their
noise or face eviction from their
homes, Circuit Court Commissioner
William j. Cody warned Saturday.
Commissioner Cody said he was
tired of spending all the courts
time on cases involving war work
ers whose eviction is sought by
landlords because they are noisy
tenants.
"These workers who insist on
taking their recreation I'm the
early hours of the morning at
the expense Of fellow workers
who are trying to get some sleep
are going to find the Rent Con-
troll Act works both ways"
Commissioner Cody said.
"AH Cases Alike"
"All the cases are the same.
The war worker has the idea
that just because he IL on war
work he can't be evicted. Unless
they start showing more consid-
Grafton for fellow workers In the
same building they are going to
find themselves out on the
street.
There Is nothing I'm the law
that says you can't evict a war
worker II he is keeping others
up at night who should be get
ting their sleep and rest"
Realizing that workers wht
work the afternoon shift neet
their recreation as much as TIT
other fellow, Commissioner Cod.
suggests a bit more cooperation
between the landlord and TIT
tenant.

Chicago s Fats Salvage
Campaign q Success

Molly Pitcher Contingents" have
made Chicago's re-usable fat salvage
program an outstanding success,
Mrs. Walter j. Kelly of that city said
yesterday. Il went into this job
without any political connections,
and without remuneration because
wanted to do something important.
This Is important, and every woman
who helps with the re-usable fat
salvage literally fires bullets from
her kitchen. We call ourselves the
Women's Munitions Corps, and
were salvaging 125,000 pounds Of
fats and grease before the national
campaign started. This fall we ex-
pect to collect quarter of a million
pounds a week"
A calm, quiet-spoken person, Mrs.
Kelly has approached her task with
straightforward directness. Knowing
the job must be accomplished, she
has not permitted small" people
or great difficulties to interfere with
the plan. In Chicago, they have set
up conservation wardens in each
block. No section, nor a single
kitchen has been missed. Apart
ment houses, in which most of the
women went to business every day
and no one believed would have any

thing to offer the Salvage Commit
tee. produced $50 pounds of fats a
week
This program has brought much
more than the needed salvage for
glycerin for ammunition. 1t has
brought every household in direct
relation to the fighting forces and
united every kitchen in a common
cause. 1t has brough to life again,
that good old early American trait
OF thrift, which probably will never
be forgotten. 1t has also made each
citizen a good neighbor, knowing the
person who lives next door for the
first time in years.
Chicago's outstanding method Of
handling this program might be an
inspiring pattern for other cities to
follow. M, N.

Here and There on the Home Front:

so you can be assured that your

it is needed the most to help fight
the war. The Bureau OF Home

partment Of Agriculture has called
up to say that their new canning
and preserving booklets have been
rushed through and are ready for
distribution. They ask, to facili-
tate the filling of requests, that you

and mighty timely it is. Meat, for

No. 1908, contains valuable sugges-
tons for using the cheaper cuts Of
meat, and recipes for nourishing and

tainable by writing to the depart

We are sorry one of our readers
feels our menus and recipes are based
on too-high budget rating. We
try to steer middle course as
much as possible. still sticking to
the adequate nutrition and balanced
diet. and making use of those items
which we find plentiful and reason
able in an average of Washington
markets. We've even had other
readers complain that we don't 60
fancy enough. No doubt about it,
you can't please all Of the people
all of the time, although we do
try. There seems to be a mis-
taken Idea that every one MUST
do canning and preserving, willy
nilly.' The hitch is that not all
people can afford to buy foodstuffs
and equipment for canning. To
them we say, do only what you find
practical. II some one gives you
windfall from his garden, by all
means can or preserve it for next
winter. but 1t isn't to be expected
that you 60 and buy large quanti-
ties Of expensive fruits or vegetables
to store away. Our canning and
preserving suggestions are offered
mostly to people who live In nearby
country communities, or those who

One by one our kitchen standbys
march off to war. Now it is oranges
that have been enrolled in the all
out effort. Citrus officials in Florida
say that by using the scraps from
oranges 190-proof alcohol can be
produced. Further processing will
turn it into ammunition. Costs will
be cut one-third by use of the
orange waste, as compared with
the use Of blackstrap molasses.
The Department of Labor reports
that survey of overall food costs
in Sc large cities from the middle
of May to the middle of June shows
a l per cent drop in items covered
by the price-control program, and
almost S per cent increase in un-
controlled articles. An index of
food costs as of June Is showed a

Conserve Coffee
BY Careful
Preparation
Use Left0vers
As Flavoring
In Cooking

To most of us Americans who are
accustomed to starting the day with
a good cup of coffee. cutting off sup
plies of the beans which provide our
favorite beverage would be a hard
ship. Fortunately we will probably
not be reduced to such a state as
supplies of coffee will still be coming
in from South America, although in
reduced amounts.
1t Is up to us to make the most of
the coffee that we buy. No longer
should we make large pot on the
chance that every member of the
family will have the time or the
desire for extra cups. Coffee takes
such short time to make, especially
through the drip pot, that it is not
too difficult to make a fresh supply
If necessary.
II there is any leftover coffee 1t
can be used to advantage as flavor
ing for gelatin or to replace milk in
cakes or cookies. The recipe for mo-
lasses cake which was printed re-
Gently is delicious when coffee is
used to replace water.
Reheated coffee does not make an
acceptable beverage. For good
cup Of coffee the coffee pot must be
absolutely clean. the water must be
freshly boiling, the coffee pot must
be preheated, and freshly ground
or vacuum packed coffee ground to
the proper point for the particular
pot which 81 used is necessary.
ICED COFFEE.
Make coffee by any of your IA
vorite methods, allowing four level
or two rounded tablespoons of coffee
for each measuring cup (8-ouncel
water. AS soon as the coffee has
brewed. pour into glasses filled with
cracked ice or ice cubes. A bowl
of ice, a bowl of powdered sugar,
and plain or whipped cream should
be offered when iced coffee is served.

Soften gelatin in cold water about
S minutes. Add hot coffee and
sugar, and stir until dissolved. Pour
in mold and chill until set. Un-
