Cold Foods Welcome
On Hot July DAYS

July days can be hot-and how!
In fact, We are Of the school that
thinks there are more and hotter
days in July than in August. We
have 30 often noticed clear. breezy
days slipping In between the hot
ones Of August and tiny bit Of
GOODNESS surprising US ut sundown.
But July Is all heat.
OF course, to get the approval OF
nutritionists every hot-weather din
ner must have one hot dish. For
this We vote for the cup Of clear
soup at the beginning Of the meal.
Either consomme, chicken broth,
clam broth or just bouillon cubes In
hot water would be perfect. Hot but
not very heavy, light soup stimu-
lates and refreshes rather than heats
you up.
For the main course, nothing tastes
better than . delicious salad, and
the combinations of salad ingredi-
ents which you can put together are
endless. We suggest starting with
plenty OF well-dried, crisp salad
green's in 4 big bowl. Into this toss
some cooked vegetables like green
beans or peas, something raw like
celery or shredded cabbage or car
rots, and something to give . hearty
twist to the ensemble like. strips OF
cold tongue, chicken or Swiss cheese
Finish with plenty of tangy salad
dressing and toss all together lightly
but thoroughly.
For a new dressing with subtle
blending OF fiavors that will add
sparkle to any salad, try this one:
SOUR CREAM DRESSING.
Z tablespoons vinegar.
tablespoon lemon Juice.
2 tablespoons molasses.
4 teaspoon dry mustard.
"A teaspoon salt.
teaspoon grated onion.
Dash paprika.
/ cup sour cream.
Mix together vinegar, lemon Juice
nnolasses and seasonings. Combin'
with sour cream and beat all to-
eether until well combined. Serv'
with vegetable salads.

Household Stove Makers
To Get Unlimited Metal

BY the Associated Press.
Because of the fuel oil shortage,
the War Production Board today
made unlimited quantities of iron
and steel available to certain manu-
facturers to produce coal and wood
burning stoves.
The board withdrew orders limit
ing the amount of metal that could
be used for such production.
The order applies to manufactur-
ers who in 1901 did less than
100000 a year business and are
not located in labor shortage areas.
Meanwhile, John Neukom. chief of
the fuel oil rationing branch of the
Office of Price Administration, said
yesterday at Chicago that the fuel
oil rationing program is going COM
paratively well, but it is too early to
tell if notifications are necessary.
The program, Mr.. Neukom said. is
in critical test period, the results
of which will be known early in l943
at which time changes, if necessary,
will be made
Because of the Astronomical
needs of the armed forces cut in
rations is more probable than an in

|Hewes Survivors Torpedoed
Twice, Warrant Officer Says

How Flashlights

A majority of the personnel on the

by the transports Bliss. Rutledge

Of the sinking of the HeWes.
Mr.. johnson, veteran of both
the Navy and the Merchant Marine

he snatched up after a torpedo hit
the Hewes. He was picked up by a
small boat and eventually landed.

from the HeWes. the warrant officer
undressed for the first time in Is

called today. He donned pants and

and turned off switches to prevent

Mr.. johnson explained the fash

he grabbed up nine of them to dis
tribute to other crew members. He
managed to pass out five of them
before deciding it was time to go
over the side.

He praised the bravery and eff
ficiency of the Hewes' crew, and said
1t was because of them that the loss
of life was so small. The Hewes
landed at .Fedhala, near Casablanca
on November 8, and despite a heavy
surf all troops were landed within
six hours, Mr.. johnson said. The
transport was sunk three days later
During that time he witnessed the
naval action off the African port.

Mr.. Johnson said there was at
least consolation in the sinking of
the Hewes. Grew members claim
that United States warship sank

their transport.
The warrant officer is a native of
Washington. He was in the Navy
from 1919 to 1926 and then in the
merchant marine for seven years.
He was recalled to active duty in
the Navy last June. His wife and
