restricted as to style, In order to'
discourage the buying Of extra"
pairs. The demand OF our armed
forces for sole leather is the reason
for this conservation and the re-
strictions do not apply to shoes in
which leather or composition rubber
soles are not used. Thus 1t will
again be up to the designer. If he
can think up new kinds of practical
soles and create shoes which will
save scarce materials and still be
appealing-then WPB is willing to
offer its blessing.
Otherwise, when you buy shoes
next spring you will be offered a
choice of footwear in black, white,
turftan, army russet, town brown
and blue. You will find no nail
head trim or metal decoration and
you may be sure that the bow on
the front of your pump has been
made from leather unsuitable for
any other part of the shoe.
Undoubtedly you will discover a
great many new trends in footwear,
for the designers and manufacturers
are never ones to let an opportunity
slip by. You probably will find shoes
with wood or plastic soles. and these
can be in two-color combinations
and In wider variety of styles, be-

There will be no difference noted
in the shoes you buy for this fall
and winter, for these have been
made up for months and it would
be only waste Of precious materials
to ban them. AS we told you a
couple Of weeks ago, stocks are ex-
cellent, and there certainly is no
cause for rush to the nearest shoe
store. Remember how alarmed we

Dear Miss Nowell-My son spilled
airplane dope" on the top Of my
mahogany desk. Though we blotted
1t up Immediately it has taken every
bit of the finish off right down to
the bare wood. 1t also seems to
have bleached out some of the color.
Is there any way that this. may be
covered up without refinishihg the
whole desk top? H. G. E.
Answer-Occasionally a clever
craftsman is willing to try to fill a
mark like this and return 1t to its
original condition, but the time and
effort it takes is hardly worth while,
as refinishing job on table or
desk top is comparatively simple. A
good varnish remover, of the gela-
tinous type which does not run, is
easy to use. 1t is matter of half
an hour to clean the surface. The
new finish may be dull and rubbed
without varnish and waxed or may
be finished with one of the water
proof, mar proof lacquers which will
give excellent service for many
years.
Dear Miss Nowell-I have child S
knife, fork and spoon which were
left to me by great aunt. Each
has a china handle with charm
ing decoration of birds and flowers
on it. I have never seen anything
like this set and wondered If it was
made for a toy or was the usual
type of thing made for children.
H. D..
Answer cannot vouch positively
for your set of cutlery without
seeing it, but it is quite possible that
you have something very nice and
quite rare. A hundred years ago it
was not unusual to have dinner
knives and forks for the whole table
made with Dresden china handles.
The cutting surfaces were usually
of solid silver and the handles set
on much as the ivory handles of
that day. Ivory handles were the
rule in the well-ordered house, but
the china-handled set was in
tended for "dress-up" occasions.
They were quite rare in this country
and as they were so fragile there
are very few of them left. I think
you may prize your child's set as it is
well worth the good care it has
evidently had.
Dear Miss Nowell-I have an old
high post bed Of walnut with a
curved tester which fits into the
tops of the posts. I have never used
the tester as have never been able
to decide just haw it should be
dressed. Do you know what was
used to drape the top of this type
bed? Most material seems much
too heavy for it, as the bed is very
large. E. N.
Answer-Hand-tie fish net o.
similar sheer net was usually uset
for these. They were very otter
made by the women in the house
hold and fitted the shape and siz'
of the bed exactly. The part which
hung down over the tester was fire.
quently scalloped or pointed ant
often tasselled. The bedspread o
tufted white cotton usually had al
edging to match the tester cove
and the petticoat under the counter
pane was trimmed with the sam
edging. Dressing this bed properl
was often the work of many year
and the materials were so good tha
i they lasted a lifetime. There ar

this type of thing and have mad

Sharp Rise in Diamonds

Before the war, small diamonds
melee to the trade-sold wholesale
for approximately $65 carat. Now
the highest quality is quoted at
$275 to $3.50 carat-approximately
500 per cent higher, Cincinnati dia-
mond dealers recently announced.
The price rise is not because of
shortage in rough stones. Larger
diamonds have not gone up CORE
spondingly. Cincinnati, one of the
five leading fine jewelry manufac-
turing cities, uses a lot of small
diamonds. Manufacturers here sup
ply the South and much Of the Mid
die West. Antwerp in Belgium and
Amsterdam in The Netherlands
were where most of the world s
small diamonds were cut before the
war. Germany also had a great
many diamond cutters. England
controls 80 to 95 per cent of the
mines. First the German source,
then those in Belgium and The Meth.
erlands were cut off. Diamond men
say that an end of the war would
not cause drop in price of small
diamonds to their former level, pre-.
dieting that heavy taxes would be
imposed on them in Europe to helr
pay the cost of the war.

Turkey King luncheon party

A CCORDING to our notions,
"A creamed dishes should have
character, should boast zestful
flavor, be fun to eat.
To achieve this would, ordinarily,
be fussy chore. But call on canned
condensed soups and see what hap
pens. You get a delicious mingling
of flavors-quickly and with no
trouble. Incidentally, this double
use of a canned product is just one
example of how modern packaged
foods work for us.
The soups well suited for creamed
dishes are cream of mushroom,
thick with mushroom slices, and
such deep vegetable purees as pea,
celery, asparagus and tomato.

10000 Yankees Are
With Allied Forces
Eagle Club Head Tells of
Boys in All Uniforms.

LONDON.-Ten thousand Amer
leans, most of them under 25, are
fighting with Britain and her allies,
Robert Hutchinson, chairman of the
American Eagle club, said.
The Eagle club is sort of super
canteen for Americans on this side
of the Atlantic and for other forces.
1t is maintained by private contri-
buttons, plus profits from low prices
charged the troops.
Hutchinson and Mrs. Hutchinson,
known as the father and mother of
the Eagle club, say they knew hun
dreds of the volunteers from the
United States by name and thou
sands by their faces.
The largest number is with the
Canadians" said Hutchinson. 'But
you find American boys every
where"
A number of those in England
were caught in German invasions Of
European countries and finally made
lnelr way 10 LONDON.
1--WE meet them in the Free
French and even in the Free Ru-
manian' forces" said Hutchinson.
I'VE particularly need a dormi-
tory for these boys" Hutchinson
said. 1--WE close early and have to
turn them out into the blackout.'
Hutchinson said many persons
had the idea the life of soldier in
this war was comparatively easy
81 know better" he said. II have
seen them come in here after being
bombed out, after operating anti
aircraft guns and after working with
bomb damage until they are tired,
dog tired"
The Eagle club is the one place
in wartime London where an Amer
lean can buy a hamburger for less
than 10 cents and coffee that tastes
American.

Must Exercise Caution.

The mere locating of a set of
tracks constitutes only a part of the
patrolman's problem. After sighting
them he must exercise judgment
and caution in the tracing process.
Sign-cutters often ride back and
forth across a trail at varying in
tervals to determine that they are
still on the trail and at the same
time to avoid riding smack into the
ambush Of dangerous smugglers.
Human tracks and marks left by
a human hand or foot are not the
only type sign that the patrolman
must learn to detect. The treads of
various automobile tires and even
of airplane tires and tail skids must
be learned, as smugglers and aliens
have resorted to the latter two
modes of transportation to facilitate
their endeavors.

Master Reading
Of Indian Signs
u. S. Border Patrolmen
Rely Upon Ancient Art of
American Redskins.

Ell PASO.-United States border
patrolmen, with the most modern
equipment and training that science
can produce, rely heavily upon an
art at which the American Indian
was past master before the COM
ing of the Pilgrims.
AT Camp Chigas, where 800 border
patrolmen will be trained to help
guard the nations boundaries
against undesirables, recruits are
thoroughly grounded in the use of
modern scientific equipment and re-
ceive rigorous training in many
fields, but the ancient art of "sign-
cutting" is stressed as one of the
most valuable assets a patrolman
can have.
Sign-cutting is the art of finding
and interpreting marks left by some-
thing that has passed.
There is perhaps no branch of
law enforcement today wherein the
reading of sign plays more i'm
portant part or produces more time.
ly and accurate information than in
the patrolling of our land and water
boundaries" T. P. Love, senior
patrol inspector, said in his instruc-
tions on sign-cutting to the recruits
in training.
Called Most Reliable.
at can be said without fear OF
successful contradiction that there
is no form of intelligence informa-
tion which is more reliable and
timely when Interpreted by a COM
petent officer than 'sign,'" Love
said.
All new border patrolmen are told
to cultivate the habit of looking for
the sign
Force yourself to look fo, tracks
and significant marks or unusual
signs and it will not be long until
you will be doing SO subconscious-
ly," they are told. ''The technique
OF interpreting correctly what you
have seen will gradually follow"
The-importance Of closely study
ing tracks to be followed, as soon
as a plain set is encountered, will
be realized when, after following a
trail for some distance, the train
leads into a section where it merges
with other tracks of approximately
the same age, Love said in stressing
this phase of sign-cutting.
Tracks, like fingerprint records,
have their own peculiarities, and if
the proper study has been given to
them, they usually can be identified
and followed even though merged
with others on the same trail" Love
said.
Smyrna times., 1942-01-08

AT the conclusion of his course in
sign-cutting at the training school,
the border patrolman is told three
fundamental rules to obey:
Cultivate the habit of looking for
sign; be observing at all times and
learn to detect at a glance sus-
picious sign; and bear in mind that
the tracks you leave may facilitate
the work of the enemy"

Roast Beef for the Holidays

A FTER the Christmas goose,
"A turkey or duck has made sew
eral repeat appearances, prime
roast of beef is sure to be greeted
with delight on any holiday table.
When such a roast beef is CON-
bined with Yorkshire pudding, and
when the Yorkshire pudding has
been baked with the brown drip
pings, however, the combination is
about as good to eat as anything
one can imagine. Fortunate, then,
is the homemaker of today who
owns a modern electric range with
its modern heat-controlled oven, for
it is in such an oven that roast beef
can be cooked at its best. The low,
even temperatures which constant
cooking research has proven most
desirable for roasting meats of this
kind have several advantages-les
shrinkage of meat occurs; the heat
does not toughen the fiber of the
meat, and a roast is produced
which is tender and juicy through
out. The best oven temperature for
cooking roast beef in this way is
3000 F. and the beef furthermore
should be roasted in an uncovered
roasting pan. Even basting is I'M
necessary, so that all the care that
is involved is practically that of

out of the oven.
Some electric ranges have an ex-
ceptionally deep broiler compart-
ment-one which is especially de-
signed for the barbecuing of large
cuts of meat. A two or three-rib
roast, for example, can be placed
on the broiler rack of such deep
broiler and roasted uncovered. In
doing this, the switch is set for a
medium heat.
This corresponds very closely to
the low temperature roasting de-
Smyrna times., 1942-01-08

scribed above, and the same ap-
proximate cooking time is allowed
for each method. To compute this
time, use the following table:
Roast beef-rare, Is to 20 minutes
a pound; medium, % to 25 minutes
a pound; well-done, 27 to 80 min
utes a pound. If cooking rolled
rib roast, add to 10 minutes per
pound to the roasting time.
Yorkshire pudding is a tradi-
tional and delicious accompaniment
to roast beef. The recipe given be-
low is particularly appropriate for
a holiday dinner-perhaps for the
Sunday after Christmas-for it has
a surprise flavoring of cheese, and
contains colorful red pimiento and
chopped green pepper. It's easy to
bake in a modern electric range.
