TREAT YOURSELF TO AN
INEXPENSIVE DINNER

When one speaks of a "treat"
We usually are flooded with ideas
of quite expensive dishes-possi-
bly, a broiled lobster or choice
bit of fillet mignon smothered
with mushrooms-but never let it
be said that you can't treat your
self TO an inexpensive dish, be-
cause such dishes as this one Of
beef can be anyone's treat and a
very special one at that:
Savory Beef
2 lbs. beef, plate, shank, rump
or round.
3 large onions, sliced.
3 tablespoons fat.
3 tablespoons flour
l teaspoon salt
a teaspoon black pepper.
Il teaspoon ground cloves and
thyme.
l pint brown stock or boiling
water and meat extract.
l teaspoon catSup
2 tablespoons vinegar
Brown the onions slowly in the
fat. Increase the heat. Cut meat
into slices desired for serving, add
it to the onions, and brown. Mix
the flour and the dry seasonings.
Sprinkle this mixture over the
meat. Add the stock, vinegar and
catsup. Cover closely. Simmer
until meat is tender, allowing at
least two hours for shank or plate

everyone who makes cake needs
good tools, for they simplify the
process of cake making. The uten-
sils should be those which are
both convenient and essential to
cake making. BY lending ease
and accuracy to each step, proper
utensils effect speed in mixing,
and more uniformly successful re-
suits. Efficient tools always pay
for themselves in convenience.
The proper utensils to have for
sood cake-making consist of:
One patent, heavy tin angel food
pan.
One square, heavy tin cake pan.
Aluminium measuring cup.
Set OF aluminium measuring
spoons.
Wooden, slotted mixing spoon
Steel spatula
Wire cake tester.
The following paragraphs de-
scribe the utensils and tell how
each one is used:
Special Angel Food Pan (8b
by 312 inches). Ideal for all types
of sponge cake because of the ex-
tended tube and the movable
slides on two sides. Immediately
after the cake is removed from the
oven, lift the slides and inyert the
pan. Allow the cake to stand one
hour, or until cold The extended
tube provides for circulation of air
which prevents steaming, and thus
insures crisp crust. Remove the
cake when cold by slipping spatula
or knife through the slots to loosen
cake from bottom of pan; then cut
around the edges of pan and tube,
and the cake will fall out easily.
The cake should cling to the
sides of the pan while cooling. 1t
is so delicate it cannot support it's
own weight while warm. AS it
cools, however, the cell walls stiff
fen and become sufficiently strong
to hold it in it's original shape.
Never grease the angel food pan
or the cake will drop out before
cold. thus causing flattened,
soggy cake. If the pan has once
been creased, even successive
and thorough washings may not
prevent this from happening.
The Square Cake Pan (SxSx2
inches), is usually convenient for
butter cakes. To prepare it for
baking, cut a square of paper to
fit the bottom of the pan and then
grease both pan and paper with an
unsalted fat. Since the taste of
the fat is very quickly detected in
the crust. butter is the best fat TO
use for this. Melt the butter in
cup over hot water, and use only
the oil on top. Do not use the salt
that sinks to the bottom. as salt
tends TO make the cake stick.

Standards. 1t is the equivalent in

Cake i'm the Masculine Manner

A ROUND-TABLE discussion on
~ mems likes and dislikes in the
matter Of cake always brings out
the fact that it is cakes flavor
and moistnesS that score with the
masculine appetite. The fine pin
point texture, exceptional volume
or highly decorative frosting which
we women prize SO highly are all
nothing but frills in the eyes of
man. How does it taste?" is his
measuring stick for cake quality.
Here is recipe for a moist and
spicy Spanish Meringue Cake with
"baked-on" frosting-a cake that
is sure to suit the masculine fancy.
Sour milk in the recipe helps to
make it extra moist. But, of course,
as with all cakes, the moistness OF
the finished product is governed
omewhat by the baking conditions.
'Iodern electric ranges. with their
thermostatically controlled ovens
provide a moist, even heat which
bakes cakes a delicate, beautiful
crown in any part of the oven. The
recipe for the Spanish Meringue
Cake is given below:

New York, Nov. 7.-tUP)-Wen- dell L. Willkie said last night that high government officials declined to assure him, before he departed on his recent global tour, that the Atlantic charter was meant for all the world.

 Many persons, he said, took the attitude that this was an Anglo SaIon war.
 "The really disturbing thing about such emphasis on an Anglo Saxon war is that 1t epresents-even though fin modified form-what Is essentially the old white mans bur- den philosophy" he continued. That is a philosophy which is resented by three-quarters of te world"
 Most of Willkie's speech was de- voted to Turkey, and the changes in that naticta since the World war
 He said he had talked to Turk. ish government officials, soldiers peasants and workers and got tht same impression; We don't want { war or any part of 1t.

MARINE CAPTS.
 DESCRIBE FIGHT
Parachute Division Held Hill Near AirfieId to De.
 eide Issue

San Francisco, Nov. 2 -(UP)- Three marine captains on furlough from the SolomonS told today how their parachute detachment held Henderson field against a fierce night attack by 5000 Japanese who chanted threats and lighted the jungle with red roman candles and blue parachute flares.
 T think if we had lost that night" said Capt. William J. Me- Kennan, 25, of Herkimer, N. Y, that we wouldn't be on Guadal- canal oday,"
 The main Japanese attack on the field, he said, was one of the crucial developments of the entire battle.
 My detachment" he said, twas holding & small hill overlooking the airport, suppos lily a rest area. But 1t happened to be the final protec- ton line for the field and the JapS hit our post with everything they had.
 "They came running through the jungle, chanting U. s. Marines be dead tomorrow while they beat time by skipping their rifle butts. They were firing red roman candles and blue parachute foares, It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen"
 The Japanese were thrown back, leaving more than 500 dead, The Americans also suffered numerous casualties.
 "The next morning." McKennan said, "only a comparative few of my group were abel to walk away from the hill without showing marks oi battle"
 He said they did not wish to be regarded as heroes, ..
 All the real heroes of the Solo, mons" he said are dead. We are just the lucky ones"
 The Henderson field battle was the second major fight for the para chutists. Their first job, which they described as the toughest of the entire campL.Sn,' was to so ashore in landing boats and capture the Tulagi seaplane base.
 McKennan and Captains James H, Myers, 32, and P. W. DenSman, 26, both of Toledo O., were with the first parachute division. They were the first parachute detachment to see action In this war, but they went into battle from landing boats, not planes.
 We were the only outfit that landed under fire" said Myers of the Tualgi raid. We were supposed to have pushover job, but our raid came slightly after the main attack on Guadalcanal and the Japs had advance wrning. They were ready for us"
 McKennant said his company went in first without drawing gre but that the second and third waves met heavy fire, including that from Japanese Named American guns of Gavatu Island. American dive bomber and naval support at that point had ceased McKennan said,
 The marines drove forward and by nightfall had overcome Japanese resistance. The next day they raised the American flag and buried 955 Japanese. Then they went on to at tack Japanese on the neighboring island of Tannanbogo.
 Densman said the Japanese were savage fighters.
 They had an utter contempt of life and the enemy" he said. Most of them refused to surrender and many of those who attempted to give up were shot by their comrades,
 "At night they would swim, naked and unarmed, to Gavatu, grab up any weapon handy, even picks or shovels, and charge the American outposts lige Berserk animals"

|ROMMEL MAY
 BE PRISONER
Radio Berlin Offers Sug. gestiOn; May Be Axis
 Trap
By United Press

Axis propagandists, obviously dls- heartened by the rout of the Axis armies in North Africa, intlmated today that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Axis commander and favorite of Adolf Hitler, may have been taken a prisoner by the British.
 Radio Berlin concluded long rec view of the Egyptian situation with the remark:
 Tt is emphasized, however, that the characteristic and noteworthy fighting methods of the German military leadership in Africa in- volve also the possibility of General Rommel being taken prisoner, as happened before to General Lud- wig) Cruewell and now to General (Ritter) von Thoma."
 That was a sweeping suggestion to be made by any Axis radio whose broadcasts are under string ent government supervision and used almost entirely for propa. ganda. It was considered possible however, that Germany might be attempting to Hull the Allies into overconfidence by suggesting the capture of her desert fox
 "The question, What will Rom- mel do now? which, in view of the North African developments was being generally asked with greatest anticipation, was answered to the Transocean News Agency Friday evening by competent military quarters only in an uncertain anc suggestive manner" radio Berlin said,
 Competent military quarters here claim to have received no fur ments in North Africa aside from ther reports on fighting develop the announcements in Friday German army bulletin"
 Then the announcer reviewed the camaign recalled that Romme last year, after being driven to E Agheila by the British, suddenly turned and drove them to within 80 miles of Alexandria.
 "On the other hand" 1t said these (military) circles refuse tc make any predictions or utter any speculations as to the next possi' bie developments in Africa"
