Tasty SouMes
Stretch
Your Meat
Those With Cheese
Or Fish Good for
Lenten Meals
By Edith NJ. Barber

A reader advocates the souffle as
a main dish which demands a COM
paratively small amount of meat.
She tells me that the family well
comes the souffle meal which she
plans once a week. Il have been
serving a liver or cheese souffie on
Tuesdays. I use your French recipe
which is so nice and crusty and
which takes such short time to
bake"
I like this type of souffle better,
too-that is, baked in a pan of
water. All of us who tried the beef
liver souffle which I made the other
day liked it very much indeed. 1t
had just one strip of bacon and a
whole minced onion for flavor to
the half-pound of liver which was
demanded One cup of ground or
finely chopped leftover cooked meat
may replace the liver. Any meat
or vegetable used in souffle must be
very fine if the souff1e is to rise
properly.
A souffle of any sort must have
thick sauce as foundation. It
may be of the cream sauce type, or
Of the cream puff type, which de-
mands no shortening.
Each egg yolk must be beaten
thoroughly into the thick sauce, one
at time. This part of the prepa-
ration of the souff1e may be made
at any time, but the beaten egg
whites should be added at the last
moment. For most meat and vege-
table souffleS short casserole is
best. If the casserole is too large
a souffie cooks too quickly and does
not rise so we'll.
BY the way, new cook book
which is called "One Hundred Meat
Saving Recipes" by Ann Roe Rob-
bins, has just been published for
the Thomas Crowell Co. The recipes
bear the stamp of having been tried
by the author herself.

Best Wishes
To Be Sent
Bride
By Emily Post

Perhaps 1t is merely my own per-
sonal experience, but I often notice
the accurate training Of the older
generation in the use Of words COM
pared with the younger generations
carelessness. An example OF this is
sent me in this letter: "Since we
announced our daughters engage
ment she has received messages
from friends scattered over the
country. Most of her college friends
have sent congratulations while
all of the older family friends have
sent best wishes Has the custom
changed somewhere along the years
without my realizing it?"
This, as I have said, illustrates
the difference between thoughtfully
sending best wishes for her happi-
ness (which is correcD and con-
graduating her ION getting a hus-
band), which has always been
considered very bad manners in
deed! 1t is. however, correct to
congratulate the man.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is there any way
to name son for his father with
out adding Sd to his name? My
husbands father-the boys grand
father-is living and he also has
this same name.
Answer-Only by changing the
middle name could this be possible.
For instance, John Henry Smiths
son, John Arthur Smith, may be the
third John Smith, but he is neither
third nor junior unless he Is named
John Henry Smith.
Dear Mrs. Post: viii you settle
the discussion we have been having
here at home about the correct use
of the word refreshments? When
speaking Of refreshments, does this
have to mean something to drink
and something to eat with 1t, or
could it mean some sandwiches or
cake. or just a beverage alone? In
other words, can 1t be combina-
ton of eatables or drinkables, or
must 1t be both?
Answer-The word implies some-
thing to eat and something TO drink
with 1t.

Relaxation
FOundin in
Swim
By Patricia Lindsay

No longer is the Saturday night
date confined always to long hours
at the theater, in the movies or in
night clubs. Girls are finding that
they need more exercise than a
dance around a small floor, so bowl
ing, skating and swimming are ia
vorite pastimes on "date night"
From the standpoint of both re-
Taxation and health, this is a good
thing. Many girls work long days
during the week and have little time
or energy left to do calesthenics at
home or to exercise out of doors.
Not that they should not exercise;
they Just do not!
Unused muscles usually ache after
few hours of stretching through
exercise, and they require a deep
massage after hot bath to be re-
lieved. A good quality witch-hazel
not only tends to reduce the ache
of strained muscles but it also serves
as an astringent for the skin and
prevents taking cold after being
overheated.
One should always dress warmly
after exercise especially during va
riable weather) and wait Is minutes
after dressing before going out into
the fresh air Keeping fit is being
patriotic, so If one f1irts with colds
one is not patriotic!
With spring here let me get on
the subject Of swimming. If there
is g pool near you. by all means
use it. Swimming, as an exercise
and a pleasure, heads the list Of
indoor sports. AS swimming is not
a competitive sport one can ex-
perience the glorious relaxing of
tense muscles and at the same time
pep up the sluggish circulation Of
the body. II one sWims twice a
week regularly (even once is good
1t Is sufficient exercise for most Of
the muscles in the body. But swim.
Don't sit on the edge of the pool
and gossip. Swim for Is or 20 min
utes-after you have worked up from
10 minutes. No exercise should be
indulged in vehemently at first.
Ease up on exercise, taking a little
more each day until you can reach
the amount which makes you feel
tops.
Those who do not know how to
swim should take instruction before
the summer sets in. Nothing is more
foolish than the hesitant girl or
woman who says, ''Oh, I'm scared to
death of the water. I never could
learn to swim" Any one can learn
to swim, and the best place to learn
is in a shallow pool under the di-
rection of another swimmer.

Here's Authentic
Data on Rayon
And Its Use
Hosiery Improved
Bv Increased
Yarn Tzvist

One of the first steps taken pro-
ducing the new and better rayon
stockings was to increase the twist
OF the rayon yarn used in them.
Higher twists produce the desired
dull. sheer crepey appearance and
improve resistance to snagging.
Laboratory tests have proved, in
fact, that the better rayon stock
ings being made today, using high
twist yarns, snag less readily than
most of their silk predecessors.
** 4*
A new testing machine has re-
Gently been put into use for testing
rayon fabrics for their resistance
to shrinking or stretching, and one
of the large rayon producing COM
panies is now using this machine to
test fabrics made with It's yarn,
Fabrics that pass the test may be
restored to within 2 per cent of
their original dimensions by normal
shaping and pressing methods after
laundering, hand washing or wet
drycleaning
To insure satisfactory At in rayon
hosiery, it is essential that you buy
the correct foot size and leg length.
In silk stockings the correct foot
size is the exact length of the foot.
In rayCn it should be bit longer.
If the foot is unusually narrow a
size smaller than the length would
be desirable. In regard to leg
length, too-long hose should be
avoided as rayon stockings tend to
stretch slightly while being worn.
although they regain their original
size and shape after washing.
Tests made to date end to show
that there is practically no initial
difference in warmth between rayon
and wool blended fabrics and all
woods, There is no hard and fast
scientific answer yet to just exactly
how warm rayon and wool blends
will remain in extended service EX-
tensive laboratory work is now being
done. however, to get further facts
on the warmth of fabrics in general
and OF the new blends in particular.

Your heart is one of the simplest
organs in the body as it has only
"one" job to do. that is to pump
blood Other organs also have only
one job to do. The liver, on the
other hand, has from 60 to 100 jobs
to do and so nearly all the other
organs are affected by the proper
or improper working of the liver.
The liver has within it always one
quarter of all the blood of the body
and has to clean or Alter this blood
before it goes on its journey
throughout the body.
The liver is kept in good condi-
ton by bending exercises, deep
breathing and not too much fat
food.

power, the memory Of his growing
years flashed through my mind.
From the kindergarten through high
school he had been care, some
times a nuisance, often an anxiety
to his parents, teachers and the
police.
In kindergarten he stayed only as
long as he felt comfortable in the
room. Then he slipped out. Some
times 1t took us hours to find him
and we found him in the most un-
expected places, in the ZOO, in the l.
station, in the movies, or just walk
ing down street miles from home,
looking at things.
He played where play was forbid
den, he was mischievous and played
tricks on the marketmen, turning
their stalls upside down and run
ming away; he broke windows be-
yond count; he played truant until
the weary officers said: Lock him
up; he skipped classes; he stayed
overtime in classes: he played on
every team; he swan like fish, but
he swan in dangerous places under
dangerous conditions as often as he
swan where he belonged He had
two firm friends, Miss Annie, who
saw him through every school scrape,
and his mother, who followed him
with her love wherever he strayed.
He never did anything seriously
wrong, but he surely made his teach
ers and his family earn their keep
while tending him.
Now, here he was a daring soldier
of the air, offering his life in defense
OF his country. in defense OF all that
his upbringing had stood for, and I
was thankful to the depths of my
heart that the school had stood by
him, given him everything 1t had,
to forward him growth, to help him
become this outstanding, virile,
handsome soldier.
He spent the day going from room
to room, helped boy bind book
in the bindery, just as once some
body helped him; had a swim in the
pool, a chat with each teacher he
met. Now he was saying good-by
I'm of. When I get to where I am
going I'll write, if can. If I don't,
just be sure I'm thinking about you
and I'll be back seeing you"
Their growth is slow, coming in
uneven waves, leaps, jumps, slowed
down quiet times, but, given wise
direction. loving care, understand
ing discipline, they do grow up and
then all the weary hours of watch
ing and tending are as nothing in
our Joy at seeing them as we
dreamed they might be, strong, able,
free, ready for whatever comes.

Livestock Men Urge
Balanced Meat Plan
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July l0.-The Live
stock and Meat Council announced
yesterday it had adopted policy
calling for management of the live
stock and meat situation SO as to
give the consumer the greatest
amount OF meat at the lowest cost,
and, at the same time, allow a fair
return to the industry"
The council, which said it repre-
sented 103 major national and State
organizations in the livestock and
meat industry. took the action fol-
lowing a two-day meeting.
without such management" the
council said, meat production in
evitably will decline"
The council recommended that
every effort be made to balance the
demand for meat against the avail
able supply and urged full support
on the part of all branches of the
industry of the program being de-
veloped by the War Meat Board"
1t decided to send representatives
to Washington to meet with Gov
ernment officials and offer the CO.
operation of the livestock and meat
industry in solving the Nation s
meat problems.
In its announcement the council
said 1t had discussed at length "the
chaotic conditions surrounding the
livestock and meat industry at the
present time as result of i'm
practical handling of the situation
by the Government, which in the
opinion of many livestock authorities
threaten to culminate in severe
nationN meat shortage before many
months have passed"

Rubber Stamp Habits
Congress Are Gone,
Senator Taft Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 10
Senator Taft, Republican. of Ohio,
said today that "the most encourag-
ing thing about this Congress Is its
assertion OF independence" and It's
department from what he called
"rubber-stamp' habits.
Addressing the Alabama Bar Asso-
citation in prepared speech. Sem
ator Taft declared that "co-operat-
ing with hte President on every war
question, Congress has differed with
him on almost every domestic policy.
Wherever possible, he said, ut is
recalling the powers delegated to the
President by subservient Congresses.
1t repealed this year his arbitrary
power to devalue the dollar. 1t re-
jected his $4,000 limit on salaries,
largely because this limit was i'm
posed without legal authority, in
defiance Of declared policy of
Congress.
Certainly this CONGRESS is no
rubber stamp Congress"
Met All Army Navy Requests.
Senator Taft said the lawmakers
had given the Army and Navy
everything they asked and possibly
had erred on the side of generosity.
Much Army and Navy money is
wastefully spent" he said. Most
of the vast horde of Federal civilian
employees are employed by the Army
and Navy. But If an Army or Navy
officer appears before Congress and
asks for money for war purposes
it is impossible to be parsimonious
and difficult to determine exactly
the sum which is really necessary"
In abolishing part of the functions
of Elmer Davis Once of War In
formation, the Senator noted, Con-
gress did not touch the bureaus
foreign branch. 1t appears to be
full OF crackpots and incompetents
and Communists" he said, but it
was felt that the propaganda sent
abroad might be OF some help to the
armed forces.
But he praised the decision to
cut of activities of the Owls do
mestic branch, which, he declared,
scattered leaflets and propaganda
ostensible to assist the war, but
actually to assist a fourth term"
Don't Need Federal Propaganda.
IF we are going to maintain free
speech in this country we do not
need Federal propaganda. The
newspapermen at the Capitol are
fully able to transmit to the people
everything the Government does or
has to say"
Even now, he said, Congress is
looking forward to a postwar pro-
gram, the first essential of which, he
said. must be sound finance.
If wise men administer the fiscal
affairs Of the Government" Sem
ator Taft predicted. II believe the
business cycle, with its recurrent de-
pressions, can be largely eliminated"

of butter may be higher or lower
than the price in Philadelphia.
The stores in those cities are put
in classes, too, ranging from the
big chains to the mama and papa"
stores, the neighborhood kind. The
latter are allowed to charge higher
prices, because their purchase prices
are higher.
Personalities Tangle.
Talk, often bitter, has helped
tangle up the chase after living
costs. So have personalities.
Husky Leon Henderson. first price
boss who talked tough to Congress,
bowed out last January.
Between the time he put General
Max to work in the spring of 1942
and January, 1943, when he said
he was retiring because of an ailing
back, living costs had gone up
about AZ per cent.
Into Mr.. Henderson's shoes
stepped Prentiss M. Brown. former
Democratic Senator from Michigan
and an administration favorite, who
tried to oil the troubled waters. The
waters bubbled up on him. too.
Between the time he took Mr..
Henderson's job in January and
. now, living costs have gone up at
least another Al per cent.
Mr.. Brown had no sooner tried
out Mr.. Henderson's hot seat in the
OPA Building, than Congress called
for a house cleaning. The new
price boss had brought with him,
as an administrative assistant, for
mer Senator Clyde Herring of Iowa,
also a Democrat.
Mr.. Herring leaped to the house
cleaning task with the announce
ment that he thought no one had
right to hold a policy-making job
in OPA unless he had met pay
roll or carried precinct This
meant: A businessman or a good
politician,
At OPA now 1t is bluntly said
that this was about the last public
statement of Mr.. Herring"
Mr.. Herring is still there in the
same job, though. Mr.. Brown put
him in charge of a personnel COM
mittee which, OPA-ers say, still re-
ports to Mr.. Brown. Some Of Mr..
Henderson's key men followed him
into price control limbo:
J. K. Galbraith, price deputy;
Paul Porter, rent boss; Robert Hor-
ton, information deputy; John E.
Hamm, senior administrative
deputy.
Mr.. Brown had plenty of friends
in Congress, having been there
himself, but Congress has banged
away at OPA just the same al
though not shooting at Mr.. Brown
as they had at Mr.. Henderson.
The latest assault came when
Congress used bludgeon on SUBJ
sidies-latest administration idea
for holding prices by rolling them
back and paying dealers the diff
ference between what they had
charged before and after the roll
back.

British Troops Hunting
Escaped ItuIiun Prisoner
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 10.-An armed
Italian prisoner of war who last
night killed guard, wounded a
woman and escaped from a prison
camp was the object today OF a
widespread hunt by troops, home
guards and police In the home
counties.
All motorists over a large area
were being stopped and drivers were
given the description of the fugi-
tive. Police rode through villages
on bicycles advising residents to
bolt doors and windows.
The Italian killed the guard with
a pruning knife and with the
guards gun shot a woman who had
seen him escaping.
