LATEST RAID

The Liberators in their latest
raid dropped 92 tons of 500 and
l000-pound bombs on the Dagua
and But airfields in the WeWak
area and the Tadji field rs miles
beyond. Most OF the enemy planes
destroyed on the ground were med
ium bombers. Big 1-reG were set.
There was no interception and not
an Allied plane was lost.
The communique contained no
new report on ground action either
in New Guinea or the Solomon is
lands. Air activity in the Solomons
area was limited to reconnaissance,
probably by bad weather.
Besides the Wewak area, Finsch
harbor above Lac was raided by at
tack planes which wrecked five
loaded bargeS on the Mape river
in a loW-level attack Heavy bomb
ers attacked an enemy destroyer
near Cape st. George, New Ireland

Use Grapes In Making
New Light Jelly Cake
BY GAYNOR MADDOX

One of your jobs in the Food
Fights for Freedom Campaign is
to use foods that are plentiful
Grapes are plentiful now and
bursting with flavor and essential
nutrients. So let's get going-we
can't afford to waste any food.
The sugar shortage may be over,
but shortening is still scarce and
cake that can achieve texture,
flavor and lightness without short
ening is a prize to cherish and to
use. The secret of this successful
wartime cake is the added amount
of all-phosphate baking powder,
which gives the layers their airi-
ness, keeps them fluffy un d r
three thick stories of homemade
grape jelly.
Jelly Tower Cake
One cup sifted cake flour, l IL
teaspoons all-phosphate baking
powder, IA teaspoon salt, 2 eggs,
separated; 7-8 cup sugar, 6 table
spoons hot water, l teaspoon va
nilla, 1 glass Concord grape jelly,
confectioners' sugar.
Sift together flour, all-phosphate
baking powder and sift 8 times.
Beat egg yolks until thick and
very light in color; gradually add
one-half the sugar, beating con-
stantly until well-mixed. Add wa
ter and vanilla, beating. Beat egg
whites stiff; gradually d d re-
naming sugar, beating constantly.
Fold flour mixture and then egg
white mixture into egg yolk mix
ture. Pour into lightly creased
paper-lined 8-inch layer pans. Bake
in moderate oven $3.50 degrees F.)
20 to Is minutes. Invert pans on
rack; remove when cool. Split
layers crosswise. Mash j lily;
spread between layers. Sprinkle
top of cake with confectioners' SUI
gar.
Concord Grape Jelly

Four cups grape juice, 7 IL cups
sugar, IL bottle fruit pectin. To
prepare juice, stem about 3 pounds
fully ripe Concord grapes and
crush thoroughly. Add IL cup wa
ter, bring to boil, cover, and SIM
mer 10 minutes. Place fruit in
jelly cloth or bag and equeeze out
juice. Measure sugar and juice
into large saucepan and mix. Bring
to boil over hottest heat and at
once add bottled fruit pectin, STIR
ring constantly. Then bring to full
rolling boil and boil hard IL min
ute. Remove from heat; skim;
pour into sterilized jelly glasses.
Paraffin at once. Note: 2 cups

Capt. ColyneuX thinks that all
attempts to escape from the tute.
lage of the French in matters
of fashion have failed. He says
that the force of Paris stems
from the fact that in the former
style capital, fashion was not the
privilege of an elite group.
'From the creator down to the
m ost humble little 'arpette'
working GRID, from the manu-
facturer on a large scale to the
man business, all took a pride
in what they produced"
Although he thinks that Lon
don has little chance Of becom-
ing what Paris once was, he is
determined to strain every effort
to persuade all important North
and South American buyers to
include London on their first
postwar buying trip SO that Brit
ish designers have chance to
obtain percentage OF the world S
trade.
Molyneux has given the British
industry the benefit of his long
years of experience in Paris and
has taught the manufacturers to
think in terms of seasons and to
welcome the cooperation of art
lists and designers.
The Mayfair couturiers, he said,
should serve as shop window
for the unbeatable British tex
tiles" and for certain tailored
clothes.
Whether buyers pay repeat
visit to London, assuming that he
S able to convince them of the
usefulness of a postwar visit
here, depends entirely, Molyneux
feels, on the British. If they pro-
duce the kind of goods that Amer
lean and other buyers want, then
they will come here to buy, but
it is hopeless, he said, to expect
them to do so for sentimental rea-
sons.
Scotching rumor that he
would return to Paris as soon as
it was freed, Molyneux asserted,
''it is only after 1 have persuaded
buyers to include London on their
first postwar trip that I would
think of returning to my house in
Paris where I would resume my
model designing and creative &C.
tivities as 1 did before the war;"
