Time Out For Coffee

IN factories where Defense orders
are being carried out, workers
prove more efficient when they get
time out for coffee. There are two
reasons for this, for coffee serves
a double purpose: 1t naturally stim-
ulates and at the same time,
through the sugar and milk or
cream served with it, food is fur
nished.
In the late afternoon, many wom-
en- who are working for the Red
Cross or in Civilian Defense feel
that inevitable let-down. That's the
moment to drop work, throw off
care and produce pot of hot cof-
fee, a tray of refreshing fruit
snacks and perhaps an interesting
sweet. After this, fatigue seems to
vanish. Work that was getting
tiresome and difficult becomes easy
and hands will fly at knitting or
sewing as fast as tongues wag.
iHic Out TUT SoieS mcnu
Fruit SndcEs
"Dolces" from, Latin America
cafe con Lecbe"
Coffee with Milky
Fruit Snacks
A big tray of fruit snacks will
give the girls" something extra to
nibble and provide a dose of Ma
lures own vitalizing vitamins at
the same time. These arrangements
can be made to look truly beauti-
full and appetizing, yet they take
almost no time to get ready. In the
middle of big tray or platter, put
basket cut from a small peeled
melon and fill it with little punches
of grapes. Surround with red ap-
pies cut in sections, but left to-
gether to avoid diScoloration.
Around this arrange segments of
oranges and wedges of pineapple
with the skin left on to protect
the fingers.
The "Dolces" are merely confec-
tons which our neighboring hos
tesses in Latin America often serve
instead of cake. Moreover, these
"Dolces" are frequently made from
a basis of vegetables such as green
corn, pumpkin, or sweet or white
potato. From the following vege-
table candy basis, various confec-
tons can be made which will keep
moist for week:
Potato Fondant
Peel and boil a medium-sized
white potato. Drain, put through a
potato ricer, mash, and add "a tea
spoon salt. Then knead in one tea
spoon of the desired fiavoring and
cups sifted confectioner's sugar.
Use in the following ways:
NUT BALLS = Work in 1 cup
chopped toasted cocoanut or other
nut meats; shape into small balls;
and roll in cocoanut or other nut
meats to cover the outside.
CHOCOLATE BALLS-Prepare as
above; let dry an hour; then dip in
melted dipping chocolate and let
stand an hour to become firm.
STUFFED FRUITS - Use Potato
Fondant plain or with nuts to stuff
dates, moist prunes, or steamed
whole figs.

Chased Fruit Solves
Daily Salad Problem

What to serve for salad is a ques-
ton that comes up every day of
the homemaker's life. A quick solu-
ton to the problem is to select
fruit from the wide variety now
glassed in convenient duraglas jars.
Pear halves, for instance, garnished
with little pineapple-and-crea
cheese mixture, and served on crisp
lettuce leaves, make an appetizing
dinner salad.
The remaining pear halves may
be stored in the original container
and served in their own syrup as
breakfast fruit

WITH UNITED STATES ARMY
ON DESERT TRAINING MANEU-
VERS, Aug. 25.-The Army infor-
mally calls this country "blistered
acres" of which there are some
$4,000 900.
Maj Gen. Alvan c. Billen, jr., the
Army's desert maneuver director
refers to it more formally as "po-
tentially the worlds greatest proving
ground for men and machines"
1t has all the qualities to At either
description. 1t has vast unsettled
spaces OF sand. sagebrush, cactus
and greasewood, in which entire
divisions can move without restric-
ton, has barren ranges OF rugged
mountains that look like huge Stag
heaps, which provide ideal back
stops for live firing practice.
1t has over all burning. blister
ing heat that wears men down In
the first two weeks Of their exposure
to it, but sends them out OF here
ready to pitch into anything in the
way of combat because they already
have whipped most of it in training
In this practice area, where next
week maneuvers on larger scale
are expected to take place, every
man in uniform is learning how
to work into offensive operations.
sTypical of this preparation is the
routine Of an armored division
which, bivouaced for miles along
a cross desert highway. now is going
into shooting practice right down
the line. In the words Of its COM

These WAVES oficer candidates

cred promising enough for further

cants to whom the ONCE decided to

Typical, too, of the offensive mood

rangers-"tough monkeys" from
every part of the country who
picked for their endurance and their
drive, are being trained in all types
of individual offensive warfare.
Like the men who took part in
the Allied raid on Dieppe, these
boys can handle knives, tommy guns
or grenades, can work more ef-
fectively by night than by day and

way for the reconnaissance bat

High School Gridders Offered
Some Hope Of Transportation

|, Representative Walter. himself a
lieutenant commander in the Naval
Reserve and naval fiyer in the
World War.
ITO wipe out this season in any
considerable number Of schools
would be severe blow to our
armed forces. and I don't think 1t
will be necessary on MANY cases
in view OF this new interpretat tinn. "
Mr.. Eastman's ODT already has
ruled that buses may not be char
tered to carry either players or
spectators to sports events, but Mr..
Walter explains that does not apply
to buses already owned by the
schools.
The Once of Defense Transporta-
tion concurred In Mr.. Walters
statement that school-owned buses,
as differentiated from chartered
vehicles, could be used. ODT
pointed out, however, that bus op-
orators in applying for new equip
ment or replacements must obtain
approval of the chief State school
Official, who may rule that such
use of the vehicle added to its de-
terioration and was "out" for that
reason.
